ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

On November 8, 2018, CEVA, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. A copy of the press release, dated November 8, 2018, is attached and filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1. On the same day, the Company held a conference call to discuss its financial results for the third quarter of 2018. A copy of the script of the conference call is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. This information, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.

In addition to the disclosure of financial results for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the press release also includednon-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share figures for the respective quarters that excluded (i) for the third quarter of 2018, equity-based compensation expenses, net of taxes, and the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles associated with the acquisition of RivieraWaves and NB-IoT technology, and (ii) for the third quarter of 2017, equity-based compensation expenses, net of taxes, and the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles associated with the Company’s acquisition of RivieraWaves SAS.

The Company believes that the reconciliation of financial measures in the press release is useful to investors in analyzing the results for the quarters and years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 because the exclusion of such expenses may provide a more meaningful analysis of the Company’s core operating results and comparison of quarterly results. Further, the Company believes it is useful for investors to understand how the expenses associated with the application of FASB ASC No. 718 are reflected on its statements of income. The reconciliation of financial measures should be reviewed in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, and are intended to provide additional insight into the Company’s operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, offer a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. The reconciliation of financial measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s reported GAAP results.
