Ceva, Inc. reported fourth‑quarter 2025 revenue of $31.291 million, a record high that exceeded the consensus estimate of $31.03 million. The company also posted earnings per share of $0.18, matching the majority of analyst expectations of $0.18, although a few analysts had projected $0.19.
Full‑year 2025 revenue reached $109.598 million, up 2% year‑over‑year, while diluted earnings per share rose to $0.42, a 17% increase from $0.36 in 2024. Non‑GAAP operating margin for the year was 18%, reflecting a favorable mix of high‑margin AI licensing and connectivity IP.
"For the fourth quarter, we delivered the highest quarterly revenue in CEVA, Inc.'s history, which was 7% higher year‑over‑year excluding the Intrinsix design services business, which we divested in 2023. Licensing revenue increased 11%, exceeding our expectation through strong execution across all three of our technology pillars and reflecting broad demand across multiple end markets," said CEO Amir Panush. CFO Yaniv Arieli added, "We delivered record fourth‑quarter revenues and achieved 18% non‑GAAP operating margins, reflecting disciplined execution and improving mix. For the full year, non‑GAAP net income increased 20% year‑over‑year and non‑GAAP diluted earnings per share grew 17%, demonstrating consistent financial progress throughout 2025."
The company reiterated its 2026 outlook, maintaining guidance for revenue growth of 8%‑12% and emphasizing the ramp of its NeuPro NPU and AI DSP licensing wins. A successful equity offering raised approximately $63 million, strengthening the cash position for future R&D and strategic initiatives.
Investors responded positively to the results, citing the revenue beat, margin expansion, and strong guidance as key drivers of confidence. The company’s Smart Edge segment contributed 86% of 2025 total revenue, underscoring its dominant position in the growing AI‑edge market. CEO Panush highlighted the company’s strong positioning for the "physical AI era" and noted a healthy pipeline across various sub‑markets, reinforcing CEVA’s diversified strategy.
Overall, Ceva’s record quarterly revenue, solid full‑year performance, and forward‑looking guidance signal continued growth momentum and a robust execution trajectory in the AI and connectivity space.
