Current report
We enable Physical AI, the artificial intelligence embedded in billions of devices that connect, sense and infer data in the real world. We view Physical AI as the natural evolution of Edge AI. While Edge AI refers to running AI workloads locally on devices rather than in the cloud, Physical AI extends this concept further: it unifies connectivity, sensing and inference layers into a single fabric that allows devices not only to process data at the edge, but also to interact intelligently with their physical environment and the cloud. Ceva is uniquely positioned as the only company with leadership in innovative silicon and software IP solutions across all three layers.
Current report
According to IPnest, we commanded 68% of the wireless connectivity IP market in 2024. Since 2003, more than 20 billion devices have shipped with Ceva IP, including approximately 2 billion in 2024 alone. Our technologies power the connectivity, perception and intelligence in today’s most advanced smart edge products across consumer IoT, automotive, industrial and infrastructure, and mobile and PC markets. Based on market research, we believe these sectors will represent a $170 billion total addressable market for Physical AI and Edge AI by 2030.

We believe our portfolio of technologies comprised of connectivity, sensing and inference – the three foundational layers of Physical AI – positions Ceva at the center of the most important megatrends shaping the semiconductor industry, including 5G expansion, generative and embedded AI, industrial automation and vehicle electrification. Demand across these areas continues to drive strong interest in our IP portfolio, both in established markets and in new, emerging use cases. In the third quarter of 2025, we signed twelve IP licensing agreements that underscore this momentum: a comprehensive deal with Microchip to adopt our full NeuPro NPU portfolio and embed AI across their product families; multiple agreements for our SensPro AI DSPs, including one with a global electronics OEM targeting home appliances and another with an automotive customer developing an ADAS chiplet architecture; and a major connectivity win with a leading customer licensing our Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth High Data Throughput IP for their upcoming roadmaps. These agreements not only validate the breadth of our portfolio but also cement multi‑year volume and royalty ramps, reinforcing Ceva’s role as the enabler of Physical AI across consumer, automotive, industrial and infrastructure markets.
Current report
As a result of our focus on silicon and software IP solutions spanning the connectivity, sensing and inference layers of Physical AI, we believe Ceva is well positioned for sustained, long‑term growth in both shipments and royalty revenues. Our diversified royalty streams reflect a broad range of advanced semiconductor packages (ASPs) – from high‑volume Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi connectivity platforms that power billions of consumer devices to higher‑value inference engines and AI DSPs such as NeuPro and SensPro, as well as infrastructure‑class platforms like PentaG-RAN. We believe this mix provides both scale and resilience, enabling us to capture growth across consumer, automotive, industrial and infrastructure markets while reinforcing our role as the enabler of Physical AI.
Current report
We believe the long-term trend of digital transformation is evolving into a new era defined by Physical AI – the next phase of Edge AI – where intelligence is embedded directly into the devices that connect, sense and interact with the real world. Our ubiquitous IP portfolio and collaborative licensing model position us to capture secular growth across consumer IoT, automotive, industrial and infrastructure, and mobile and PC markets.
Current report
Our customers are increasingly receptive to our roadmap because it aligns with their need to add connectivity, sensing and intelligence at the edge. In 2024, this strategy returned us to year-over-year revenue growth of 10%, outperforming our initial expectations of 4% to 8%. For 2025, we expected continued expansion of licensing and related revenues driven by demand for intelligent, connected devices, particularly in industrial IoT and consumer IoT devices. The third quarter of 2025 provided further evidence of this trend, with twelve total licensing agreements, including a comprehensive NPU portfolio deal with Microchip, new AI DSP wins in consumer electronics and automotive ADAS, and multi-year connectivity ramps in Wi Fi 7 and Bluetooth.
Current report
On royalties, we anticipate continued growth in 2025 from our connectivity platforms, particularly Bluetooth, Wi Fi and cellular IoT, which achieved record shipments in 2024. In the third quarter of 2025, we recorded a record high volume of our cellular IoT and Wi-Fi IP powering customer shipments. We also expect incremental royalties from a leading U.S. mobile OEM’s in-house 5G modem powered by our DSPs, which expanded into smartphones and tablets in 2025. These milestones reinforce our role as the leader in silicon and software IP enabling Physical AI across both high volume consumer devices and high value infrastructure and automotive applications.
Current report
In addition, we expect to complement our strong presence in the Asia-Pacific region by further expanding our customer base and revenues in Europe and the U.S., as reflected in our increasingly diversified geographic revenue mix from 2022 through 2024. This balance strengthens our resilience and underscores Ceva’s role as the leader in silicon and software IP enabling Physical AI across global markets.
Current report
Licensing and related revenues were $16.0 million and $46.1 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, representing an increase of 3% and 4% as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024. In licensing, we secured several strategic agreements that reinforce our market‑leading position in wireless connectivity and accelerate our expansion in AI. The third quarter of 2025 was marked by strong execution across our core pillars – connect, sense and infer – and highlights the breadth and strength of our IP portfolio. The most significant win was in AI, where Microchip, one of the world’s leading microcontroller and connectivity providers, adopted our full NeuPro NPU portfolio for its future roadmap. We believe this win represents a strong proof point of a broader industry trend: major microcontroller unit and semiconductor vendors are standardizing to embed AI across their product lines, bringing more on‑device intelligence for performance, user experience, privacy and cost. The increase in licensing and related revenues for the first nine months of 2025 was primarily due to the aforementioned increase in revenue coming from our Edge AI technologies, as well as several key deals signed with strategic customers incorporating our new Bluetooth 7 solutions in their long-term roadmaps, partially offset by two strategic deals signed in the second quarter of 2024 with our large OEM customers in wireless infrastructure for their development of next-generation ASICs.
Current report
During the quarter, twelve IP licensing agreements were signed, targeting a wide range of end markets and applications, including NPU for AI across industrial, consumer, automotive and other end markets, AI DSP for automotive ADAS and home appliances, communications DSPs for vehicle-2-everything (V2X) and satellite, and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity for a wide range of consumer, wearables, smart home and industrial smart edge devices. One of the deals signed was with a first-time customer and one was with an OEM customer.
Current report
Licensing and related revenues accounted for 56% and 59% of our total revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, as compared to 57% for both the comparable periods of 2024.
Current report
Royalty revenues were $12.4 million and $32.2 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, representing an increase of 6% and a decrease of 4% as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024. The first nine months of 2025 included revenue of $0.3 million following the resolution of royalty audits. The third quarter and first nine months of 2024 included revenue of $0.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, following the resolution of royalty audits. Excluding these amounts, the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 would have been up by 9% and 1%, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods of 2024. Royalty revenues accounted for 44% and 41% of our total revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, as compared to 43% for both the comparable periods of 2024. We delivered solid growth across most of our markets, with royalties up 6% year-over-year and 16% sequentially. Consumer IoT was a key driver, posting 9% year-over-year growth, supported by record shipments in cellular IoT and Wi-Fi. Our 5G RAN infrastructure customers also had a strong quarter, with revenues up 91% compared to last year. In automotive, ADAS ramps at our two large semiconductor customers continued to accelerate, contributing to overall royalty growth in the quarter. Mobile royalties grew 4% year-over-year and 7% sequentially, driven by a recovering low-end smartphone segment. At the high end, our U.S. OEM customer launched a second smartphone model featuring its in-house 5G modem with Ceva technology, and as this model expands into more markets in the fourth quarter, we expect further royalty growth.

We believe that with digital transformation being a long-term trend that continues to drive industries to become connected and intelligent, our ubiquitous technology and collaborative business model present a significant and secular growth prospect. We intend to continue to capitalize on the semiconductor momentum with our portfolio of technologies to enable three main use cases associated with smart edge devices: connect, sense and infer. We focus on four main markets, which are consumer IoT, automotive, industrial and infrastructure, which we believe are large, diversified and represent the greatest opportunities for long-term growth. We will also continue to serve the mobile and PC markets where we have established customers and market presence. We believe our key customers are keenly receptive to our products roadmap around connect, sense and infer, and that they are willing to expand the scope of engagements with us as our roadmap aligns with their technology needs. Furthermore, we anticipate that we complement our strong presence in the APAC region by further expanding our customer base and revenues in Europe and the U.S., as evidenced by our increasingly diversified revenue split by geography from 2022 through 2024.
Previous report
Our strategy returned us to year-over-year revenue growth in 2024, with overall revenue growing 10% over 2023, outperforming the 4% to 8% we expected at the beginning of 2024. In 2025, we expect our licensing and related revenues business will continue to expand into new markets and use cases for industrial IoT (IIoT) and consumer IoT devices, offering connectivity platforms, sensing platforms and software, AI solutions (including AI engines, NPUs and software) and more. We saw the first evidence for solid IP expansion into AI during the second quarter of 2025, with four of thirteen deals signed for AI use cases and strong licensing revenue contribution. On royalties, we expect our connectivity products to continue to also show growth in 2025, particularly related to our Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular IoT business lines which enjoyed record shipments in 2024 and from an in-house 5G modem powered by our cellular DSP from a leading U.S. mobile OEM that launched its first smartphone based on its own modem in the first quarter of 2025. In the second quarter of 2025, we recorded an all-time record high volume of our cellular IoT and Wi-Fi 6 IPs powering customer shipments.

Licensing and related revenues were $15.0 million and $30.1 million for the second quarter and first half of 2025, respectively, representing a decrease of 13% and an increase of 5%, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024. The decrease in licensing and related revenues for the second quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a catch-up in licensing revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2024 following a slip in the first quarter of 2024. In licensing, this quarter marked a pivotal moment for our AI business as we entered the broad adoption phase for our Edge AI NPUs. Following extensive evaluations with leading customers, we secured four strategic, high impact NPU customer agreements, validating the market’s readiness and our innovative, market leading NPU portfolio. These included two NeuPro-Nano deals related to audio in embedded applications and two NeuPro-M deals targeting two diverse use cases: communications and data processing acceleration, and efficient scalable LLM compute support. The increase in licensing and related revenues for the first half of 2025 was primarily due to the aforementioned increase in revenue coming from our Edge AI technologies, as well as several key deals signed with strategic customers incorporating our new Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 7 solutions in their long-term roadmaps, partially offset by a strategic deal signed in the second quarter of 2024 for the 5G-Advanced modem markets.
Previous report
During the quarter, thirteen IP licensing agreements were concluded, targeting a wide range of end markets and applications, including five first-time customers and four OEM customers, highlighting the breadth and strength of our IP portfolio.

Royalty revenues were $10.7 million and $19.9 million for the second quarter and first half of 2025, respectively, representing a decrease of 5% and 9%, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024. Royalty revenues accounted for 41% and 40% of our total revenues for the second quarter and first half of 2025, respectively, as compared to 39% and 43% for the comparable periods of 2024. We saw good sequential growth across most of our markets, with royalties up 16% sequentially. On a year-over-year basis, royalties declined in the second quarter of 2025 by 5%, mainly attributable to the lackluster smartphone market, where widespread softness has been reported by our peers, and which we also experienced, at the lower end of the market. With regards to the higher end of the smartphone market, we continue to see our volumes grow at a leading U.S. OEM using our technology in their in-house 5G modem. Outside of mobile, our consumer IoT customers showed strong sequential and year-over-year growth in shipments, driven by record high cellular IoT and Wi-Fi 6 shipments. Overall consumer IoT shipments were up 21% sequentially and 16% year-over-year. We expect that the sequential growth in royalties will continue throughout the rest of the year, as our customers build towards the holiday season and our U.S. OEM smartphone customer introduces additional models featuring their in-house 5G modem later in the year.

However, the global economy continues to be impacted by macroeconomic conditions, including as a volatile interest rate environment, ongoing inflation and recent changes in legislation and regulations, including enacted and proposed tariffs and other trade policies, have introduced additional uncertainty in the global economy. In periods of perceived or actual unfavorable economic conditions, our customers or potential customers could delay or re-evaluate their decisions to initiate various projects which in turn could result in a delay or cessation of engagement or other business activities with us, and which could result in lower licensing revenues. In addition, lower consumer demand may result in lower royalty revenues as our customers ship fewer units. These factors may make it difficult for us to forecast and plan future budgetary decisions or business activities accurately. Accordingly, while we do not currently expect our IP solutions will themselves be subject to tariffs, the indirect impact on consumer demand, among other factors, has increased the uncertainty about the year. Given these evolving dynamics, as well as our lower than anticipated revenues for the first quarter, in May 2025, we adopted a more cautious outlook, and lowered our revenue guidance for the 2025 fiscal year from around a high-single digits range to a low-single digits range for growth over 2024 annual revenues.

We review our monthly expected major non-U.S. dollar denominated expenditures and look to hold equivalent non-U.S. dollar cash balances to mitigate currency fluctuations. However, our Euro cash balances increase significantly on a quarterly basis beyond our Euro liabilities, mainly from applicable French research tax credits, which are generally refunded every three years. This has resulted in a foreign exchange gain of $0.57 million and $1.17 million for the second quarter and first half of 2025, respectively, as compared to a foreign exchange loss of $0.09 million and $0.28 million for the comparable periods of 2024.

We are subject to income and other taxes in the United States and in numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our domestic and foreign tax liabilities are dependent on the jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed. Additionally, the amount of taxes paid is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. A number of factors influence our effective tax rate, including changes in tax laws and treaties as well as the interpretation of existing laws and rules. Federal, state, and local governments and administrative bodies within the United States, and other foreign jurisdictions have implemented, or are considering, a variety of broad tax, trade, and other regulatory reforms that may impact us. For example, on July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law Public Law 119-21, commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”). The Act contained several tax reform proposals that may impact on our current deferred tax liabilities and assets. As the Act was signed into law subsequent to the current quarter end, the impact of the Act on our current and deferred tax liabilities and assets are not included in this filing. We are currently evaluating the effects of these changes; however, we do not expect that the Act will have a material impact on our financial position.

On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (”OBBBA”) into law, which is considered the enactment date under U.S. GAAP. Key corporate tax provisions of OBBBA include the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, immediate expensing for domestic research and experimental expenditures, changes to Section 163(j) interest limitations, modification of several international tax provisions, and expanded Section 162(m) aggregation requirements. In accordance with ASC 740, we have recognized the effects of the new tax law in the period of enactment. The impact of OBBBA for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 did not have a material impact on our financial position for the period. We continue to evaluate the impact of OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements and will update its estimates as additional guidance becomes available.
