DSP Group, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2011 Earnings

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 26, 2011 - DSP Group®, Inc. (NASDAQ: DSPG), a leading global provider of wireless chipset solutions for converged communications at home, announced today its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Second Quarter Results:

Revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $58,517,000, a decrease of 4% from revenues of $60,846,000 for the second quarter of 2010. Net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $2,041,000, as compared to net loss of $367,000 for the second quarter of 2010. Earnings per share (EPS) for the second quarter of 2011 were a loss of $0.09 per share, as compared to a loss of $0.02 per share for the second quarter of 2010.

Non-GAAP Results:

Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2011 were $2,030,000 and $0.08 per share, respectively, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $4,354,000 and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.18 per share for the second quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2011 excluded the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets of $2,198,000 associated with the acquisition of NXP’s CIPT business and equity-based compensation expenses of $1,873,000. Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2010 excluded the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets of $2,488,000 associated with the acquisition of NXP’s CIPT business and equity-based compensation expenses of $2,233,000.

Ofer Elyakim, CEO of DSP Group, stated: “We met our financial projections for the second quarter, including revenues of approximately $59 million, which represented a growth rate of 20% on a sequential basis; non-GAAP net income of $2 million which resulted in non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.08; and maintained a stable cash balance of $137 million. We are now focused on meeting the challenges we are facing in our markets in the second half of 2011. In the past few weeks we have experienced a slowdown in bookings, due to what appears to be a near-term softening of the consumer electronics market, resulting

in weaker demand for cordless telephony products. As a result of these macro-economic conditions, we are experiencing a decrease in customer projections. Accordingly, we are updating our revenue guidance for the year to be in the range of $200 million to $207 million, down from $227 million to $245 million. In response to these short-term market trends, we have decided to take proactive measures and implement further cost synergies in the second half of 2011, to reduce operating expenses and maintain positive operating cash flows.”

Mr. Elyakim also stated, “Despite our lower revenue guidance for the year as a result of this near-term, temporary market slowdown, we are seeing strong evidence that our past R&D investments in new product areas are gaining significant market traction and delivering revenue growth that we expect to accelerate over the long-term. For 2011, we expect new products revenue of approximately $25 million, representing a 56% increase over 2010.”

Authorization of Stock Repurchases

The Company’s Board has unanimously authorized a 1 million share increase in the number of shares of Common Stock the Corporation is authorized to repurchase pursuant to its stock repurchase plan, bringing the total authorization to 2.6 million shares.

Adoption of Rights Plan

The Company’s Board has unanimously adopted a Rights Agreement. Under the Rights Agreement, each stockholder of record on August 5, 2011, will receive a right for each share owned to purchase one-thousandth of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock for $45. The rights will become exercisable should a person or group obtain beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which acquiring person or group will not be able to exercise their rights. The Rights Agreement is scheduled to expire on July 25, 2012.

Presentation on non-GAAP Net Income Calculation

The Company believes that the non-GAAP presentation of net income and diluted EPS presented in this press release is useful to investors in comparing results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 to the same period in 2010 because the exclusion of the above noted expenses may provide a more meaningful analysis of the Company’s core operating results. Further, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand how the expenses associated with equity-based compensations expenses are reflected on its statements of income.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains statements that qualify as “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including Mr. Elyakim’s statements about the softening consumer electronics market and weaker demand across most consumer segments, the Company’s financial guidance for 2011 annual revenues and the Company’s projected 2011 revenues for its new products. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and DSP Group assumes no obligation to update this information. In addition, the events described in these forward-looking statements may not actually arise as a result of various factors, including the timing and ability of the consumer electronics market to recover and the corresponding recovery of DSP Group’s customers; unexpected delays in the commercial launch of new products; the impact of reductions in lead times and inventory levels by DSP Group customers and their customers; slower than expected change in the nature of residential communications domain; DSP Group’s inability to develop and produce new products at competitive costs and in a timely manner or failure of such products to achieve broad market acceptance; and general market demand for products that incorporate DSP Group’s technology in the market. These factors and other factors which may affect future operating results or DSP Group’s stock price are discussed under “RISK FACTORS” in the Form 10-K for fiscal 2010 as well as other reports DSP Group has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and which are available on DSP Group’s Web site (www.dspg.com) under Investor Relations.
