FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INDUSTRY DATA

 

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that if they materialize or prove incorrect, could cause the results of CEVA to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions.  All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are generally written in the future tense and/or are preceded by words such as “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “suggest,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” or other similar words.  Forward-looking statements include the following:

 

 

Our belief that our portfolio of wireless communications and sensing and edge AI technologies address some of the most important megatrends, including 5G, generative AI, industrial automation and vehicle electrification, and our belief in the continued interest in our IP portfolio due to these trends, in both traditional and new areas;

 

 

Our belief that our Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ultra Wide Band (UWB) and cellular IoT IPs allow us to address the high volume IoT industrial, consumer and smart home markets, and our expectation that the overall addressable market size will be more than 15 billion devices annually by 2027 based on research from ABI Research;

 

 

Our belief that Wi-Fi represents a significant royalty revenue opportunity in connection with our dominant market position in licensing Wi-Fi 6 and our leadership position in Wi-Fi 7 IP;

 

 

Our belief that our PentaG2 platform and digital signal processors (DSPs) for 5G mobile broadband and 5G RedCap is the most comprehensive baseband processor IP platform in the industry today and provides newcomers and incumbents with a comprehensive solution to address the need for 5G processing for smartphones, fixed wireless access, satellite communications and a range of connected devices such as robots, cars, smart cities and other devices for industrial applications;

 

 

Our belief that our PentaG RAN platform for 5G RAN settings is the most comprehensive baseband processor IP in the industry today and provides customers and incumbents with a comprehensive solution to address the need for 5G and other communications in data centers and infrastructure;

 

 

Our belief that the high volume consumer audio markets, including True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds, smartwatches, AR and VR headsets, and other wearable assisted devices, offers an incremental growth segment for our Bluetooth, Audio AI DSPs and software IPs, and our belief in the capabilities of our RealSpace Spatial Audio & Head Tracking Solution, WhisPro speech recognition technology and ClearVox voice input software to enhance the user experience and offer premium features;

 

 

Our belief that our SensPro2 sensor hub AI DSP family can address the growing demand for efficient, high-performance signal processing in sensor-based applications across various industries for applications such as smartphones, automotive safety (ADAS), autonomous driving, drones, robotics, security and surveillance, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), natural language processing and voice recognition, which enables us to address the transformation in devices enabled by these applications and expand our footprint and content in smartphones, drones, consumer cameras, surveillance, ADAS, voice-enabled devices and industrial IoT applications;

 

 

Statements regarding third-party estimates of industry growth and future market conditions, including research from Bloomberg Intelligence which forecasts that hardware revenue associated with computer vision AI products and conversational AI devices will reach $61 billion and $108 billion, respectively, by 2030, indicating the size of the market opportunity;

 

 

 

Our belief that our newest generation family of AI neural processing units (NPUs) present a highly efficient and high-performance architecture to enable generative and classic AI on any device including communication gateways, optically connected networks, cars, notebooks and tablets, AR/VR headsets, smartphones, and any other cloud or edge use case from the edge all the way to the cloud, and that more than 2.5 billion Edge AI devices will ship annually by 2026 based on research from Yole Group;

 

 

Our belief that our sensor fusion and spatial audio application software allows us to address an important technology piece used in personal computers, robotics, TWS earbuds, smart TVs and many other smart sensing IP products, in addition to our existing portfolio for camera-based computer vision and AI processing, and microphone-based sound processing;

 

 

Our belief that our customers can benefit from our capabilities as a complete, one-stop-shop for processing all classes and types of sensors;

 

 

Our belief that we are well positioned for long-term growth in shipments and royalty revenues derived from smart edge products as a result of our focus on silicon and software IP solutions that enable products to connect, sense and infer data;

 

 

Our belief that our ubiquitous technology and collaborative business model present a significant and secular growth prospect as the continuing digital transformation drives industries to become connected and intelligent;

 

 

Our intention 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, and to focus on four main markets which include consumer, automotive, industrial and infrastructure, and our belief that such markets are large, diversified and represent the greatest opportunities for long-term growth;

 

 

Any statements regarding sales trends and financial results for the second, third and fourth quarter of and full year 2024 and other future periods, including our expectations with respect to future customers, contracts, revenues and expenses, regarding our customer pipeline, that a significant portion of our future revenues will continue to be generated by a limited number of customers in part due to consolidation in the semiconductor industry, that international customers will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future, that an increasing portion of our new customers and revenues will be derived from international customers generally and sales to the Asia Pacific and China in particular, that we can expand our customer base and revenues in Europe and the U.S., and that we will experience year-over-year revenue growth in 2024;

 

 

Our belief that our cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and marketable securities, along with cash from operations, will provide sufficient capital to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months; and

 

 

Our belief that fluctuations in high interest rates within our investment portfolio will not have a material effect on our financial position on an annual or quarterly basis.

 

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on information that is currently available to us and expectations and assumptions that we deem reasonable at the time the statements were made. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements in this report or in any of our other communications, except as required by law. All such forward-looking statements should be read as of the time the statements were made and with the recognition that these forward-looking statements may not be complete or accurate at a later date.

 

Many factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. These factors include, but are not limited to, those risks set forth in Part II – Item 1A – “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q.

 

This report contains market data prepared by third party research firm. Actual market results may differ from their projections.

NOTE 2:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. For further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2023, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2024, have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted by the Company

 

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies the guidance when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2022-03 as of January 1, 2024. The adoption did not result in a material impact on the Company's interim condensed financial statements.

 

Accounting Standards Recently Issued, Not Yet Adopted by the Company

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and amounts classified as a discontinued operation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

 

NOTE 3:

ACQUISITION

 

In January 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the equity shares of a privately held, Greek-based company, to extend the research and development resources in the Ceva group. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company agreed to pay an aggregate of approximately $750 paid at closing and approximately $2,100 subject to continued employment and certain performance milestones. The Company has accounted for this acquisition as an asset acquisition. As such, the total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired.

 

 

 

NOTE 4:

HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATION

 

On September 14, 2023, the Company and Intrinsix, then its wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (“Cadence”), pursuant to which Cadence agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of Intrinsix from the Company for $35,000 in cash, subject to other certain purchase price adjustments as provided for in the Agreement (the “Transaction”). The closing of the Transaction occurred on October 2, 2023. At the closing, an amount of $300 from the consideration was deposited with a third-party escrow agent for the purposes of satisfying any additional post-closing purchase price adjustments owed by the Company to Cadence (was fully paid to the Company during the first quarter of 2024), a further amount of $3,500 of the consideration was deposited with the same escrow agent for a period of 18 months as security for the Company’s indemnification obligations to Cadence in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, and after giving effect to post-closing adjustments resulting in a $240 repayment to the Company during the first quarter of 2024. The Agreement includes certain representations, warranties and covenants of the parties, and the Company also agreed to certain non-competition and non-solicitation terms, which are subject to certain exceptions.

 

Under ASC 205-20, "Discontinued Operation" when a component of an entity, as defined in ASC 205-20, has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the results of its operations, including the gain or loss on its component are classified as discontinued operations and the assets and liabilities of such component are classified as assets and liabilities attributed to discontinued operations; that is, provided that the operations, assets and liabilities and cash flows of the component have been eliminated from the Company’s consolidated operations and the Company will have no significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component.

 

As a result of the Transaction, Intrinsix's results of operations and asset and liability balances are disclosed as a discontinued operation. All prior periods comparable results of operation, assets and liabilities have been retroactively included in discontinued operations.

NOTE 5:

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Under ASC No. 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), an entity recognizes revenue when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring intellectual property (“IP”) licenses or services to the customer, either at a point in time or over time. The Company recognizes most of its revenues at a point in time upon delivery when the customer accepts control of the IP. The Company recognizes revenue over time on significant license customization contracts that are in the scope of ASC 606 by using cost inputs to measure progress toward completion of its performance obligations.

 

Revenues that are derived from the sale of a licensee’s products that incorporate the Company’s IP are classified as royalty revenues. Royalty revenues are recognized during the quarter in which the sale of the product incorporating the Company’s IP occurs. Royalties are calculated either as a percentage of the revenues received by the Company’s licensees on sales of products incorporating the Company’s IP or on a per unit basis, as specified in the agreements with the licensees. When the Company does not receive actual sales data from the customer prior to the finalization of its financial statements, royalty revenues are recognized based on the Company’s estimation of the customer’s sales during the quarter.

NOTE 8:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

FASB ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level I

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible on the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level II

Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level III

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- CONTINUED (UNAUDITED)

 

The Company measures its marketable securities, investments in marketable equity securities and foreign currency derivative contracts at fair value. The carrying amount of cash, cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, trade receivables, other accounts receivable, trade payables and other accounts payables approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Investments in marketable equity securities are classified within Level I as the securities are traded in an active market. Marketable securities and foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level II as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments.

 

The table below sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of March 31, 2024, there was $184 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

 

An RSU award is an agreement to issue shares of the Company’s common stock at the time the award or a portion thereof vests. RSUs granted to employees generally vest in three equal annual installments starting on the first anniversary of the grant date. RSUs granted to non-employee directors would generally vest in two equal annual installments starting on the first anniversary of the grant date.

 

On February 12, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) granted 33,318, 20,043, 16,399 and 13,535 RSUs, effective as of February 16, 2024, to each of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and Chief Commercial Officer (“CCO”), respectively, pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The RSU grants vest 33.4% on February 16, 2025, 33.3% on February 16, 2026 and 33.3% on February 16, 2027.

Also, on February 12, 2024, the Committee granted 49,978, 13,362, 10,932 and 9,023 performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), effective as of February 16, 2024, to each of the Company’s CEO, CFO, COO and CCO, respectively, pursuant to the 2011 Plan. The performance goals for the PSUs with specified weighting are as follows:

 

Weighting

Goals

50% (*)

Vesting of the full 50% of the PSUs occurs if the Company achieves the 2024 license and related revenue target approved by the Board (the “2024 License Revenue Target”). The vesting threshold is achievement of 90% of the 2024 License Revenue Target. If the Company’s achievement of the 2024 License Revenue Target is above 90% but less than 99% of the 2024 License Revenue Target, 91% to 99% of the eligible PSUs would be subject to vesting. If the Company’s actual result exceeds 100% of the 2024 License Revenue Target, every 1% increase of the 2024 License Revenue Target, up to 120%, would result in an increase of 2% of the eligible PSUs for the Company’s CFO, COO and CCO and an increase of 3% of the eligible PSUs for the Company’s CEO.

25%

Vesting of the full 25% of the PSUs occurs if the Company achieves positive total shareholder return whereby the return on the Company’s stock for 2024 is greater than the S&P Semiconductors Select Industry index (the “S&P index”). The vesting threshold is if the return on the Company’s stock for 2024 is at least 90% of the S&P index. If the return on the Company’s stock, in comparison to the S&P index, is above 90% but less than 99% of the S&P index, 91% to 99% of the eligible PSUs would be subject to vesting. If the return on the Company’s stock exceeds 100% of the S&P index, every 1% increase in comparison to the S&P index, up to 120%, would result in an increase of 2% of the eligible PSUs for the Company’s CFO, COO and CCO and an increase of 3% of the eligible PSUs for the Company’s CEO.

25%

Vesting of the full 25% of the PSUs occurs if the Company achieves positive total shareholder return whereby the return on the Company’s stock for 2024 is greater than the Russell 2000 index (the “Russell index”). The vesting threshold is if the return on the Company’s stock for 2024 is at least 90% of the Russell index. If the return on the Company’s stock, in comparison to the Russell index, is above 90% but less than 99% of the Russell index, 91% to 99% of the eligible PSUs would be subject to vesting. If the return on the Company’s stock exceeds 100% of the Russell index, every 1% increase in comparison to the Russell index, up to 120%, would result in an increase of 2% of the eligible PSUs for the Company’s CFO, COO and CCO and an increase of 3% of the eligible PSUs for the Company’s CEO.

 

(*) As of March 31, 2024, the Company's management estimates that it is not probable that the performance condition will be met by year end.

 

Accordingly, assuming maximum achievement of the performance goals set forth above, PSUs representing an additional 60%, meaning an additional 29,986, would be eligible for vesting of the Company’s CEO, and an additional 40%, meaning an additional 5,344, 4,372 and 3,609, would be eligible for vesting for each of the Company’s CFO, COO and CCO, respectively.

 

Subject to achievement of the thresholds the above performance goals for 2024, the PSUs vest 33.4% on February 16, 2025, 33.3% on February 16, 2026 and 33.3% on February 16, 2027.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

 

The Company follows the requirements of FASB ASC No. 815,” Derivatives and Hedging” which requires companies to recognize all of their derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position at fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging transaction and further, on the type of hedging transaction. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Due to the Company’s global operations, it is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of its business. The Company’s treasury policy allows it to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures through the purchase of foreign exchange forward or option contracts (“Hedging Contracts”). The policy, however, prohibits the Company from speculating on such Hedging Contracts for profit. To protect against the increase in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flow resulting from salaries paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the year, the Company instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of the anticipated payroll of its non-U.S. employees denominated in the currencies other than the U.S. dollar for a period of one to twelve months with Hedging Contracts. Accordingly, when the dollar strengthens against the foreign currencies, the decline in present value of future foreign currency expenses is offset by losses in the fair value of the Hedging Contracts. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in the present value of future foreign currency expenses is offset by gains in the fair value of the Hedging Contracts. These Hedging Contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.

 

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the notional principal amount of the Hedging Contracts to sell U.S. dollars held by the Company was $8,700 and $16,500, respectively.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 56,872 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $22.48 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $1,278. The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the first quarter of 2023. As of March 31, 2024, 643,128 shares of common stock remained available for repurchase pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program.

 

The repurchases of common stock are accounted for as treasury stock, and result in a reduction of stockholders’ equity. When treasury shares are reissued, the Company accounts for the reissuance in accordance with FASB ASC No. 505-30, “Treasury Stock” and charges the excess of the repurchase cost over issuance price using the weighted average method to retained earnings. The purchase cost is calculated based on the specific identified method. In the case where the repurchase cost over issuance price using the weighted average method is lower than the issuance price, the Company credits the difference to additional paid-in capital.

In the first quarter of 2024, we signed strategic licensing deals for our next-generation Bluetooth 6 and Wi-Fi 7 IPs, reinforcing our market leading position for these technologies. In particular, we believe that Wi-Fi presents a significant royalty revenue opportunity, given our dominant market position in licensing Wi-Fi 6 with more than 40 customers to date and leadership position in Wi-Fi 7 IP.

   

 

 

Our PentaG2 platform and digital signal processors (DSPs) for 5G mobile broadband and 5G RedCap is the most comprehensive baseband IP platform in the industry today and provides newcomers and incumbents with a comprehensive solution to address the need for 5G processing for fixed wireless access, satellite communications and a range of connected devices such as robots, cars, smart cities and other devices for industrial applications. Indicative of the demand for our 5G Ips, in the first quarter of 2024, we signed three deals for 5G new use cases, two of which target RedCap and one for 5G V2X.

 

 

 

Our PentaG RAN platform for 5G RAN settings is the most comprehensive baseband processor IP in the industry today and provides newcomers and incumbents with a comprehensive solution to address the need for 5G and other communications in data centers and infrastructure.

   

 

 

The high-volume consumer audio markets, including True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds, smartwatches, AR and VR headsets, and other wearable assisted devices, offers an incremental growth segment for us for our Bluetooth, Audio AI DSPs and software IPs. For OEMs to better address this market, our RealSpace Spatial Audio & Head Tracking Solution and ClearVox voice input software are available to enhance the user experience and offer premium features.

Along with our SensPro sensor hub AI DSPs, our licensees now benefit from our capabilities as a complete, one-stop-shop for processing all classes and types of sensors.

 

As a result of our focus on silicon and software IP solutions that enable products to connect, sense, and infer data, we believe we are well positioned for long-term growth in shipments and royalty revenues derived from smart edge products. Royalty rates from these products are comprised of a range of ASPs, spanning from high volume Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to high value sensor fusion and base station RAN. The royalty ASP of our other products will be in between the two ranges.

 

CURRENT TRENDS

 

We believe that as the continuing digital transformation drives 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 intend to focus on four main markets, which are consumer, 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 can expand our customer base and revenues in Europe and the U.S., complementing our strong presence in China, Taiwan, Japan and the remainder of the APAC region.

 

In 2024, we believe our strategy will return Ceva to year-over-year revenue growth, with overall revenue expected to grow 4% to 8% over 2023. Most of this growth is expected to be concentrated in the second half of the year, In 2024, we expect our licensing and related revenues business will continue to expand into new markets and use cases in the industrial IoT (IIoT) and consumer IoT, offering connectivity platforms, sensing platforms and software, AI solutions (including AI engines, NPUs and software) and more. On royalties, we expect our connectivity products to continue to show strength in 2024, particularly related to our Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular IoT business lines, with the expected ramp of automotive ADAS royalties in the second half of the year. The smartphone market related revenues have continued to decrease for us in recent years due to these trends.

 

 

Instability in the Middle East

 

Our operations in Israel remain largely unaffected by the war between Israel and Hamas that began on October 7, 2023, and we continue to drive our business and support our customers globally. However, a portion of our employees in Israel have been called to active reserve duty and additional employees may be called in the future, if needed. The Company has executed its business continuity plan with respect to those employees. It is possible that some of our operations in the region may be disrupted if this continues for a significant period of time or if the situation further deteriorates.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Total Revenues

 

Total revenues were $22.1 million for the first quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of 16% as compared to the corresponding period in 2023. The decrease in total revenues for the first quarter of 2024 was mainly due to lower licensing and related revenues, offset by higher royalty revenues, as further described below.

 

Our five largest customers accounted for 45% of our total revenues for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 43% for the comparable period in 2023. Two customers accounted for 15% and 14% of our total revenues for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to one customer that accounted for 14% of our total revenues for the first quarter of 2023. Generally, the identity of our customers representing 10% or more of our total revenues varies from period to period, especially with respect to our IP licensing customers as we generate licensing revenues generally from new customers on a quarterly basis. With respect to our royalty revenues, two royalty paying customers represented 10% or more of our total royalty revenues for the first quarter of 2024, and collectively represented 41% of our total royalty revenues for the first quarter of 2024. Two royalty paying customers represented 10% or more of our total royalty revenues for the first quarter of 2023, and collectively represented 28% of our total royalty revenues for the first quarter of 2023. We expect that a significant portion of our future revenues will continue to be generated by a limited number of customers. The concentration of our customers is explainable in part by consolidation in the semiconductor industry.

 

The following table sets forth use cases for Ceva technology portfolio as percentages of our total revenues for each of the periods set forth below:

    18 %     18 %

 

 

Licensing and Related Revenues

 

Licensing and related revenues were $11.4 million for the first quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of 37%, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023. Licensing revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were lower than anticipated, as some deals were delayed into the second quarter and later in the year. We signed strategic early-adopter deals with lead customers for our Bluetooth 6 and Wi-Fi 7 IPs in the quarter and have already concluded a significant deal with a strategic customer for a next-generation IP since the close of the quarter.

 

Eleven IP license agreements were concluded during the first quarter of 2024, targeting a wide variety of end markets and applications, including Bluetooth 5 connectivity for wearables and industrial IoT, Bluetooth 6 for wireless audio, Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 7 and UWB for smart edge consumer devices, 5G RedCap for consumer and industrial devices, 5G V2X modems for automotive, and audio for smartphones. Two of the eleven deals were with first-time customers.

 

Licensing and related revenues accounted for 52% of our total revenues for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 69% for the comparable period of 2023.

 

Royalty Revenues

 

Royalty revenues were $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 33%, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023. Royalty revenues accounted for 48% of our total revenues for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 31% for the comparable period of 2023. The first quarter of 2024 included revenue of $1.0 million following the resolution of a royalty audit. Excluding this amount, the first quarter of 2024 would have been up by 20% as compared to the comparable period of 2023. In the first quarter of 2024 we saw shipment volumes up 25% year-over-year, and increase in every end market we serve, as restocking continued across the broad IoT markets. Smartphone units, while up year-over-year, were down quite sharply from the fourth quarter, a similar trend to what we saw last year. Also, the infrastructure market remains soft, reflecting low CapEx for 5G networks globally.

 

The increase in royalty revenues for the first quarter of 2024 was mainly due to customer inventory adjustments and prolonged weak demand for smartphones and PCs in the first quarter of 2023.

 

 

Our customers reported sales of 371 million chipsets incorporating our technologies for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 25% from the corresponding period in 2023 for actual shipments reported.

 

The five largest royalty-paying customers accounted for 58% of our total royalty revenues for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 49% for the comparable period of 2023.

Due to the nature of our license agreements and the associated potential large individual contract amounts, the geographic split of revenues both in absolute dollars and percentage terms generally varies from quarter to quarter.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues was $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $3.5 million for the comparable period of 2023. Cost of revenues accounted for 11% of our total revenues for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 13% for the comparable period of 2023. The decrease for the first quarter of 2024 principally reflected lower customization work for our licensees and lower cost of unit shipments related to our sensor fusion chip business. Included in cost of revenues for the first quarter of 2024 was a non-cash equity-based compensation expense of $203,000, as compared to $206,000 for the comparable period of 2023.

 

Gross Margin

 

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2024 was 89%, as compared to 87% for the comparable period of 2023. The increase for the first quarter of 2024 mainly reflected lower cost of revenues as set forth above, offset by lower total revenues. The gross margin for the first quarter of 2023 reflects historical period on a re-cast basis excluding the Intrisix business as a discontinued operation, is also illustrative of our decision to return to pure IP licensing and royalty business model.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses were $24.5 million for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $25.4 million for the comparable period of 2023. The net decrease for the first quarter of 2024 principally reflected lower contractor costs.

 

Research and Development Expenses, Net

 

Our research and development expenses, net, were $18.0 million for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $18.7 million for the comparable period of 2023. The decrease for the first quarter of 2024 principally reflected lower contractor costs. Included in research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were non-cash equity-based compensation expenses of $2,007,000, as compared to $2,102,000 for the comparable period of 2023. Research and development expenses as a percentage of our total revenues were 82% for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 71% for the comparable period of 2023. The percentage increase for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to the comparable period of 2023, was mainly due to lower revenues.

 

The number of research and development personnel was 331 at March 31, 2024, as compared to 337 at March 31, 2023.

 

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Our sales and marketing expenses were $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $2.7 million for the comparable period of 2023. Included in sales and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were non-cash equity-based compensation expenses of $365,000, as compared to $378,000 for the comparable period of 2023. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of our total revenues were 13% for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 10% for the comparable period of 2023.

 

The total number of sales and marketing personnel was 28 at March 31, 2024, as compared to 31 at March 31, 2023.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our general and administrative expenses were $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $3.8 million for the comparable period of 2023. The decrease for the first quarter of 2024 primarily reflected lower salaries and related costs. Included in general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were non-cash equity-based compensation expenses of $996,000, as compared to $866,000 for the comparable period of 2023. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of our total revenues were 16% for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 15% for the comparable period of 2023.

 

The number of general and administrative personnel was 46 at March 31, 2024, as compared to 41 at March 31, 2023.

 

Amortization of Intangible Assets

 

Our amortization charges were $0.2 million for both the first quarter of 2024 and 2023. The amortization charges for the first quarter of 2024 were incurred in connection with the amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of the Hillcrest Labs and VisiSonics business. The amortization charges for the first quarter of 2023 were incurred in connection with the amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of the Hillcrest Labs.

Interest income and gains and losses from marketable securities, net

  $ 1.45     $ 1.19  

Foreign exchange gain (loss)

  $ (0.19 )   $ 0.26  

 

 

Financial income, net, consists of interest earned on investments, gains and losses from sale of marketable securities, accretion (amortization) of discounts (premiums) on marketable securities and foreign exchange movements.

 

The increase in interest income and gains and losses from marketable securities, net, during the first quarter of 2024 principally reflected higher combined bank deposits and marketable securities balances held (mainly because of cash received from the sale of Intrinsix in October 2023) and higher yields.

 

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 loss of $0.19 million for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to foreign exchange gain of $0.26 million for the comparable period of 2023.

 

Remeasurement of Marketable Equity Securities

 

We recorded a loss of $0.0 million for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to a loss of $0.1 million for the comparable period of 2023, related to remeasurement of marketable equity securities, which we hold at cost. Over time, other income (expense), net, may be affected by market dynamics and other factors. Equity values generally change daily for marketable equity securities and upon the occurrence of observable price changes or upon impairment of marketable equity securities. In addition, volatility in the global economic climate and financial markets could result in a significant change in the value of our investments.

 

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Our income tax expenses was $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $1.4 million for the comparable period of 2023. The increase for the first quarter of 2024 primarily reflected higher withholding tax expenses in our Israeli subsidiary for which we will not be able to obtain a refund from the tax authorities.

 

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, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Reform”) enacted on December 22, 2017 resulted in changes in our corporate tax rate, our deferred income taxes, and the taxation of foreign earnings. It is not currently possible to accurately determine the potential comprehensive impact of these or future changes, but these changes could have a material impact on our business and financial condition.

 

We have significant operations in Israel and operations in France and the Republic of Ireland. A substantial portion of our taxable income is generated in Israel and France, as well as potentially in the U.S. due to global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) and the requirement to capitalize R&D expenditures under IRC Section 174 over 5 years if sourced from the U.S. and over 15 years if sourced internationally. Although our Israeli and Irish subsidiaries, and, from 2022 onward, our French subsidiary, are taxed at rates substantially lower than U.S. tax rates, the tax rates in these jurisdictions could nevertheless result in a substantial increase as a result of withholding tax expenses with respect to which we are unable to obtain a refund from the relevant tax authorities.

 

Our Irish subsidiary qualified for a 12.5% tax rate on its trade. Interest income generated by our Irish subsidiary is taxed at a rate of 25%.

 

Our French subsidiary is entitled to a tax benefit of 10% applied to specific revenues under the French IP Box regime. The French IP Box regime applies to net income derived from the licensing, sublicensing or sale of several IP rights such as patents and copyrighted software, including royalty revenues. This elective regime requires a direct link between the income benefiting from the preferential treatment and the R&D expenditures incurred and contributing to that income. Qualifying income may be taxed at a favorable 10% CIT rate (plus social surtax, hence 10.3% in total).

 

Our Israeli subsidiary is entitled to various tax benefits as a technological enterprise. In December 2016, the Economic Efficiency Law (Legislative Amendments for Applying the Economic Policy for the 2017 and 2018 Budget Years), 2016, which includes the Amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (Amendment 73) (the “Amendment”), was published. The Amendment, among other things, prescribes special tax tracks for technological enterprises, which are subject to rules that were issued by the Minister of Finance in April 2017.

 

The new tax track under the Amendment, which is applicable to our Israeli subsidiary, is the “Technological Preferred Enterprise”. Technological Preferred Enterprise is an enterprise for which total consolidated revenues of its parent company and all subsidiaries are less than 10 billion New Israeli Shekel (NIS). A Technological Preferred Enterprise, as defined in the Amendment, that is located in the center of Israel (where our Israeli subsidiary is currently located), is taxed at a rate of 12% on profits deriving from intellectual property. Any dividends distributed to “foreign companies”, as defined in the Amendment, deriving from income from technological enterprises will be taxed at a rate of 4%. We are applying the Technological Preferred Enterprise tax track for our Israeli subsidiary from tax year 2020 and onwards.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

 

We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, fair value of financial instruments, equity-based compensation and income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 7, 2024, for a discussion of additional critical accounting policies and estimates. There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies as compared to what was previously disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately $21.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $10.7 million in bank deposits, and $126.9 million in marketable securities, totaling $158.8 million, as compared to $166.5 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease for the first three months of 2024 principally reflected cash used in operating activities.

 

Out of total cash, cash equivalents, bank deposits and marketable securities of $158.8 million, $129.7 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Our intent is to permanently reinvest earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and our current operating plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate foreign earnings to fund our U.S. operations. However, if these funds were needed for our operations in the United States, we would be required to accrue and pay taxes to repatriate these funds. The determination of the amount of additional taxes related to the repatriation of these earnings is not practicable, as it may vary based on various factors such as the location of the cash and the effect of regulation in the various jurisdictions from which the cash would be repatriated.

 

During the first three months of 2024, we invested $12.7 million of cash in marketable securities with maturities up to 36 months from the balance sheet date. In addition, during the same period, marketable securities were sold or redeemed for cash amounting to $18.9 million. All of our marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. The purchase and sale or redemption of available-for-sale marketable securities are considered part of investing cash flow. Available-for-sale marketable securities are stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of taxes. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments, as determined on a specific identification basis, are included in the interim condensed consolidated statements of loss. The amount of credit losses recorded for the first three months of 2024 was immaterial. For more information about our marketable securities, see Note 7 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

 

Bank deposits are classified as short-term bank deposits and long-term bank deposits. Short-term bank deposits are deposits with maturities of more than three months but no longer than one year from the balance sheet date, whereas long-term bank deposits are deposits with maturities of more than one year as of the balance sheet date. Bank deposits are presented at their cost, including accrued interest, and purchases and sales are considered part of cash flows from investing activities.

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash used in operating activities for the first three months of 2024 was $7.3 million and consisted of net loss of $5.4 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $4.6 million, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $6.5 million. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $1.0 million of depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, and $3.6 million of equity-based compensation expenses. The decrease in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of an increase in trade receivables of $3.0 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $3.2 million (mainly as a result of payment of a yearly design tool subscription), a decrease in deferred revenues of $0.5 million, and a decrease in accrued expenses and other payables of $1.0 million, partially offset by an increase in accrued payroll and related benefits of $0.5 million and an increase in trade payables of $0.4 million.

 

Cash used in operating activities for the first three months of 2023 was $5.1 million and consisted of net loss of $4.9 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $5.0 million, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $5.2 million. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $1.4 million of depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, and $3.9 million of equity-based compensation expenses, offset with $0.3 million of unrealized foreign exchange gain. The decrease in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of an increase in trade receivables of $3.8 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $2.2 million (mainly as a result of payment of a yearly design tool subscription), and an increase in deferred taxes, net of $0.9 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenues of $0.8 million, and an increase in accrued payroll and related benefits of $0.7 million.

 

Cash flows from operating activities may vary significantly from quarter to quarter depending on the timing of our receipts and payments. Our ongoing cash outflows from operating activities principally relate to payroll-related costs and obligations under our property leases and design tool licenses. Our primary sources of cash inflows are receipts from our accounts receivable, to some extent, funding from research and development government grants and French research tax credits, and interest earned from our cash, deposits and marketable securities. The timing of receipts of accounts receivable from customers is based upon the completion of agreed milestones or agreed dates as set out in the contracts. 

 

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash provided by investing activities for the first three months of 2024 was $5.1 million, compared to $6.5 million of net cash provided by investing activities for the comparable period of 2023. We had a cash outflow of $12.7 million and a cash inflow of $18.9 million with respect to investments in marketable securities during the three months of 2024, as compared to a cash inflow of $6.6 million with respect to investments in marketable securities during the first three months of 2023. We had a cash outflow of $0.9 million and $0.1 million during the first three months of 2024 and 2023, respectively, from purchase of property and equipment. For the first three months of 2024, we had a cash inflow of $0.5 million in connection with the sale of Intrinsix, and a cash outflow of $0.8 million for the acquisition of the Greek-based company.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the first three months of 2024 was $0.3 million, as compared to $1.7 million of net cash provided by financing activities for the comparable period of 2023.

 

In August 2008, we announced that our board of directors approved a share repurchase program for up to one million shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, which was extended by an additional 7,100,000 shares collectively across further approvals in 2010, 2013, 2014, 2018, 2020 and 2023. During the first three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased 56,872 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $22.48 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $1,278. There were no repurchases of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, we had 643,128 shares available for repurchase.

 

During the first three months of 2024, we received $1.6 million from the exercise of stock-based awards, as compared to $1.7 million received for the comparable period of 2023.

 

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and marketable securities, along with cash from operations, will provide sufficient capital to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. We cannot provide assurances, however, that the underlying assumed levels of revenues and expenses will prove to be accurate.

 

In addition, as part of our business strategy, we occasionally evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses, products and technologies and minority equity investments. Accordingly, a portion of our available cash may be used at any time for the acquisition of complementary products or businesses or minority equity investments. Such potential transactions may require substantial capital resources, which may require us to seek additional debt or equity financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition or investment candidates, complete acquisitions or investments, integrate acquired businesses into our current operations, or expand into new markets. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurances that additional financing will be available to us in any required time frame and on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

 

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

A majority of our revenues and a portion of our expenses are transacted in U.S. dollars and our assets and liabilities together with our cash holdings are predominately denominated in U.S. dollars. However, the majority of our expenses are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, principally the NIS and the Euro. Increases in volatility of the exchange rates of currencies other than the U.S. dollar versus the U.S. dollar could have an adverse effect on the expenses and liabilities that we incur when remeasured into U.S. dollars. We review our monthly expected 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 French research tax benefits applicable to the CIR, which is generally refunded every three years. This has resulted in a foreign exchange loss of $193,000 for the first quarter of 2024, and a foreign exchange gain of $263,000 for the comparable period of 2023.

 

As a result of currency fluctuations and the remeasurement of non-U.S. dollar denominated expenditures to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes, we may experience fluctuations in our operating results on an annual and quarterly basis. To protect against the increase in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flow resulting from salaries paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the year, we follow a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. We hedge portions of the anticipated payroll for our non-U.S. employees denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar for a period of one to twelve months with forward and option contracts. During the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, we recorded accumulated other comprehensive loss of $575,000 and $253,000, respectively, from our forward and option contracts, net of taxes, with respect to anticipated payroll expenses for our non-U.S. employees. As of March 31, 2024, the amount of other comprehensive gain from our forward and option contracts, net of taxes, was $413,000, which will be recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss) during the following four months. We recognized a net gain of $380,000 and a net loss of $171,000 for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to forward and options contracts. We note that hedging transactions may not successfully mitigate losses caused by currency fluctuations. We expect to continue to experience the effect of exchange rate and currency fluctuations on an annual and quarterly basis.

 

 

The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are invested in high-grade certificates of deposits with major U.S., European and Israeli banks. Generally, cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits may be redeemed and therefore minimal credit risk exists with respect to them. Nonetheless, deposits with these banks exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits or similar limits in foreign jurisdictions, to the extent such deposits are even insured in such foreign jurisdictions. While we monitor on a systematic basis the cash and cash equivalent balances in the operating accounts and adjust the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if one or more of the financial institutions with which we deposit our funds fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets. To date, we have experienced no loss of principal or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurance that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be affected if the financial institutions that we hold our cash and cash equivalents fail.

 

We hold an investment portfolio consisting principally of corporate bonds. We have the ability to hold such investments until recovery of temporary declines in market value or maturity. As of March 31, 2024, the unrealized losses associated with our investments were approximately $3.5 million due to the dramatic changes in the interest rate environment that took place in 2022. As we tend to hold such bonds with unrealized losses to recovery, the allowance for credit losses was not material during the first quarter of 2024. However, we can provide no assurance that we will recover present declines in the market value of our investments. 

 

Interest income and gains and losses from marketable securities, net, were $1.45 million for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $1.19 million for the comparable period of 2023. The increase in interest income, and gains and losses from marketable securities, net, during the first quarter of 2024, reflected higher combined bank deposits and marketable securities balances held (mainly because of cash received from the sale of Intrinsix in October 2023) and higher yields.

 

We are exposed primarily to fluctuations in the level of U.S. interest rates. To the extent that interest rates rise, fixed interest investments may be adversely impacted, whereas a decline in interest rates may decrease the anticipated interest income for variable rate investments. We typically do not attempt to reduce or eliminate our market exposures on our investment securities because the majority of our investments are short-term. We currently do not have any derivative instruments but may put them in place in the future. Fluctuations in interest rates within our investment portfolio have not had, and we do not currently anticipate such fluctuations will have, a material effect on our financial position on an annual or quarterly basis.

 

Item 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024.

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

NOTE 2:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. For further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2023, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2024, have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted by the Company

 

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies the guidance when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2022-03 as of January 1, 2024. The adoption did not result in a material impact on the Company's interim condensed financial statements.

 

Accounting Standards Recently Issued, Not Yet Adopted by the Company

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and amounts classified as a discontinued operation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 4:

HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATION

 

On September 14, 2023, the Company and Intrinsix, then its wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (“Cadence”), pursuant to which Cadence agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of Intrinsix from the Company for $35,000 in cash, subject to other certain purchase price adjustments as provided for in the Agreement (the “Transaction”). The closing of the Transaction occurred on October 2, 2023. At the closing, an amount of $300 from the consideration was deposited with a third-party escrow agent for the purposes of satisfying any additional post-closing purchase price adjustments owed by the Company to Cadence (was fully paid to the Company during the first quarter of 2024), a further amount of $3,500 of the consideration was deposited with the same escrow agent for a period of 18 months as security for the Company’s indemnification obligations to Cadence in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, and after giving effect to post-closing adjustments resulting in a $240 repayment to the Company during the first quarter of 2024. The Agreement includes certain representations, warranties and covenants of the parties, and the Company also agreed to certain non-competition and non-solicitation terms, which are subject to certain exceptions.

 

Under ASC 205-20, "Discontinued Operation" when a component of an entity, as defined in ASC 205-20, has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the results of its operations, including the gain or loss on its component are classified as discontinued operations and the assets and liabilities of such component are classified as assets and liabilities attributed to discontinued operations; that is, provided that the operations, assets and liabilities and cash flows of the component have been eliminated from the Company’s consolidated operations and the Company will have no significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component.

 

As a result of the Transaction, Intrinsix's results of operations and asset and liability balances are disclosed as a discontinued operation. All prior periods comparable results of operation, assets and liabilities have been retroactively included in discontinued operations.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]

NOTE 5:

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Under ASC No. 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), an entity recognizes revenue when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring intellectual property (“IP”) licenses or services to the customer, either at a point in time or over time. The Company recognizes most of its revenues at a point in time upon delivery when the customer accepts control of the IP. The Company recognizes revenue over time on significant license customization contracts that are in the scope of ASC 606 by using cost inputs to measure progress toward completion of its performance obligations.

 

Revenues that are derived from the sale of a licensee’s products that incorporate the Company’s IP are classified as royalty revenues. Royalty revenues are recognized during the quarter in which the sale of the product incorporating the Company’s IP occurs. Royalties are calculated either as a percentage of the revenues received by the Company’s licensees on sales of products incorporating the Company’s IP or on a per unit basis, as specified in the agreements with the licensees. When the Company does not receive actual sales data from the customer prior to the finalization of its financial statements, royalty revenues are recognized based on the Company’s estimation of the customer’s sales during the quarter.

 

 

The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period. The estimated revenues do not include amounts of royalties or unexercised contract renewals:

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

NOTE 8:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

FASB ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level I

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible on the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level II

Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level III

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

 

The Company measures its marketable securities, investments in marketable equity securities and foreign currency derivative contracts at fair value. The carrying amount of cash, cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, trade receivables, other accounts receivable, trade payables and other accounts payables approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Investments in marketable equity securities are classified within Level I as the securities are traded in an active market. Marketable securities and foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level II as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments.

 

The table below sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

NOTE 11:

COMMON STOCK AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

 

The Company has historically granted a mix of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) capped with a ceiling and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees and non‑employee directors of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Company’s equity plans and provides the right to purchase common stock pursuant to the Company’s 2002 employee stock purchase plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, there were no outstanding or exercisable SARs left.

 

 

The options granted under the Company’s stock incentive plans have been granted at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Options granted to employees under stock incentive plans generally vest at a rate of 25% of the shares underlying the option after one year and the remaining shares vest in equal portions over the following 36 months, such that all shares are vested after four years. A summary of the Company’s stock option activities and related information for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are as follows:

As of March 31, 2024, there was $184 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

 

An RSU award is an agreement to issue shares of the Company’s common stock at the time the award or a portion thereof vests. RSUs granted to employees generally vest in three equal annual installments starting on the first anniversary of the grant date. RSUs granted to non-employee directors would generally vest in two equal annual installments starting on the first anniversary of the grant date.

 

On February 12, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) granted 33,318, 20,043, 16,399 and 13,535 RSUs, effective as of February 16, 2024, to each of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and Chief Commercial Officer (“CCO”), respectively, pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The RSU grants vest 33.4% on February 16, 2025, 33.3% on February 16, 2026 and 33.3% on February 16, 2027.

 

 

Also, on February 12, 2024, the Committee granted 49,978, 13,362, 10,932 and 9,023 performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), effective as of February 16, 2024, to each of the Company’s CEO, CFO, COO and CCO, respectively, pursuant to the 2011 Plan. The performance goals for the PSUs with specified weighting are as follows:

 

Weighting

Goals

50% (*)

Vesting of the full 50% of the PSUs occurs if the Company achieves the 2024 license and related revenue target approved by the Board (the “2024 License Revenue Target”). The vesting threshold is achievement of 90% of the 2024 License Revenue Target. If the Company’s achievement of the 2024 License Revenue Target is above 90% but less than 99% of the 2024 License Revenue Target, 91% to 99% of the eligible PSUs would be subject to vesting. If the Company’s actual result exceeds 100% of the 2024 License Revenue Target, every 1% increase of the 2024 License Revenue Target, up to 120%, would result in an increase of 2% of the eligible PSUs for the Company’s CFO, COO and CCO and an increase of 3% of the eligible PSUs for the Company’s CEO.

25%

Vesting of the full 25% of the PSUs occurs if the Company achieves positive total shareholder return whereby the return on the Company’s stock for 2024 is greater than the S&P Semiconductors Select Industry index (the “S&P index”). The vesting threshold is if the return on the Company’s stock for 2024 is at least 90% of the S&P index. If the return on the Company’s stock, in comparison to the S&P index, is above 90% but less than 99% of the S&P index, 91% to 99% of the eligible PSUs would be subject to vesting. If the return on the Company’s stock exceeds 100% of the S&P index, every 1% increase in comparison to the S&P index, up to 120%, would result in an increase of 2% of the eligible PSUs for the Company’s CFO, COO and CCO and an increase of 3% of the eligible PSUs for the Company’s CEO.

25%

Vesting of the full 25% of the PSUs occurs if the Company achieves positive total shareholder return whereby the return on the Company’s stock for 2024 is greater than the Russell 2000 index (the “Russell index”). The vesting threshold is if the return on the Company’s stock for 2024 is at least 90% of the Russell index. If the return on the Company’s stock, in comparison to the Russell index, is above 90% but less than 99% of the Russell index, 91% to 99% of the eligible PSUs would be subject to vesting. If the return on the Company’s stock exceeds 100% of the Russell index, every 1% increase in comparison to the Russell index, up to 120%, would result in an increase of 2% of the eligible PSUs for the Company’s CFO, COO and CCO and an increase of 3% of the eligible PSUs for the Company’s CEO.

 

(*) As of March 31, 2024, the Company's management estimates that it is not probable that the performance condition will be met by year end.

 

Accordingly, assuming maximum achievement of the performance goals set forth above, PSUs representing an additional 60%, meaning an additional 29,986, would be eligible for vesting of the Company’s CEO, and an additional 40%, meaning an additional 5,344, 4,372 and 3,609, would be eligible for vesting for each of the Company’s CFO, COO and CCO, respectively.

 

Subject to achievement of the thresholds the above performance goals for 2024, the PSUs vest 33.4% on February 16, 2025, 33.3% on February 16, 2026 and 33.3% on February 16, 2027.

NOTE 12:

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

 

The Company follows the requirements of FASB ASC No. 815,” Derivatives and Hedging” which requires companies to recognize all of their derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position at fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging transaction and further, on the type of hedging transaction. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Due to the Company’s global operations, it is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of its business. The Company’s treasury policy allows it to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures through the purchase of foreign exchange forward or option contracts (“Hedging Contracts”). The policy, however, prohibits the Company from speculating on such Hedging Contracts for profit. To protect against the increase in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flow resulting from salaries paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the year, the Company instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of the anticipated payroll of its non-U.S. employees denominated in the currencies other than the U.S. dollar for a period of one to twelve months with Hedging Contracts. Accordingly, when the dollar strengthens against the foreign currencies, the decline in present value of future foreign currency expenses is offset by losses in the fair value of the Hedging Contracts. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in the present value of future foreign currency expenses is offset by gains in the fair value of the Hedging Contracts. These Hedging Contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.

 

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the notional principal amount of the Hedging Contracts to sell U.S. dollars held by the Company was $8,700 and $16,500, respectively.

NOTE 14:

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 56,872 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $22.48 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $1,278. The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the first quarter of 2023. As of March 31, 2024, 643,128 shares of common stock remained available for repurchase pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program.

 

The repurchases of common stock are accounted for as treasury stock, and result in a reduction of stockholders’ equity. When treasury shares are reissued, the Company accounts for the reissuance in accordance with FASB ASC No. 505-30, “Treasury Stock” and charges the excess of the repurchase cost over issuance price using the weighted average method to retained earnings. The purchase cost is calculated based on the specific identified method. In the case where the repurchase cost over issuance price using the weighted average method is lower than the issuance price, the Company credits the difference to additional paid-in capital.
