NOTE 1:

BUSINESS

 

The financial information in this quarterly report includes the results of Ceva, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Ceva”).

 

Ceva is the leader in silicon and software IP enabling Physical AI – the artificial intelligence embedded in billions of devices that connect, sense and infer data in the real world. Ceva views 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 believes it is uniquely positioned as the only company with leadership in innovative silicon and software IP solutions across all three layers. Ceva’s 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.

 

Ceva is a trusted partner to many of the leading semiconductor and original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) companies servicing not only Ceva’s largest target growth markets but also a wide variety of other applications, including smart-home, surveillance, robotics and medical. Ceva’s customers incorporate Ceva’s IP into application-specific integrated circuits and application-specific standard products that they manufacture, market and sell. 

 

Ceva’s portfolio spans the three foundational layers of Physical AI:

 

 

Connectivity layer (wireless transport): Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ultra Wideband (“UWB”), cellular internet-of-things (“IoT”), and 5G Advanced IP platforms that form the backbone of ubiquitous, secure, and high-performance communication

 

 

Sensing layer (software and DSPs): Sensor fusion processors, RealSpace spatial audio, MotionEngine software, and general-purpose digital signal processors (“DSPs”) that transform raw sensor data into actionable intelligence

 

 

Inference layer (NPUs and AI DSPs): The NeuPro family of neural processing units (“NPUs”), from NeuPro-Nano for embedded AI to NeuPro-M for generative AI, supported by a unified toolchain and software stack for simple model deployment, and the SensPro family of AI DSPs for high-performance signal and AI workloads

 

Ceva licenses its portfolio of wireless communications and scalable AI IP to its customers, lowering barriers to entry and enabling them to bring new products to market faster, more reliably, efficiently and economically.
