Gideon Wertheizer, Chief Executive Officer of CEVA, stated, "Our solid third quarter performance reflects a strong demand for our DSPs and technologies and a continued worldwide market share expansion in the handsets market which reached a record high of 23%. We are encouraged by the increasing demand for our newest technologies for the growing markets of LTE, MID, HD multimedia and Passive Optical Networks (PON)."
During the third quarter, the Company concluded six new license agreements. Five agreements were for CEVA DSP cores, platforms and software and one agreement was for Bluetooth technology. Target applications for customer deployment are 2G ultra-low cost phones, 3G handsets, Smartphones, mobileTVs, portable multimedia and Passive Optical Networks (PON). Geographically, three of the agreements signed were in Europe and three in Asia.
Yaniv Arieli, Chief Financial Officer of CEVA, stated, "Our third quarter results and the positive momentum in our business exceeded our expectations. As a result, our gross and operating margins as well as our non-GAAP net income and EPS reached record highs during the quarter. We also generated positive cash flow of approximately $4.0 million, bringing our cash balances and marketable securities to $91.8 million."
