DSP Group, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2012 Results

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 30, 2012—DSP Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DSPG), a leading global provider of wireless chipset solutions for converged communications, announced today its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

First Quarter Results:

Revenues for the first quarter of 2012 were $43,504,000, a decrease of 11% from revenues of $48,776,000 for the first quarter of 2011. Net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $3,262,000, as compared to a net loss of $4,564,000 for the first quarter of 2011. Loss per share for the first quarter of 2012 was $0.14, as compared to a loss per share of $0.19 for the first quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP Results:

Non-GAAP net loss and loss per share for the first quarter of 2012 were $1,183,000 and $0.05, respectively, as compared to non-GAAP net loss of $1,119,000 and non-GAAP loss per share of $0.05 for the first quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP net loss and loss per share for the first quarter of 2012 excluded equity-based compensation expenses of $1,486,000, and the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets in the amount of $593,000, associated with the acquisitions of NXP’s CIPT business and BoneTone Communications.

Non-GAAP net loss and loss per share for the first quarter of 2011 excluded the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets in the amount of $2,196,000, associated with the acquisition of NXP’s CIPT business, equity-based compensation expenses of $1,839,000 and restructuring income of $590,000 associated with the reorganization of our European operations.

Ofer Elyakim, CEO of DSP Group, stated “Our first quarter results were better than previously expected, driven by record VoIP revenues, higher gross margins and lower operating expenses. While we are disappointed with our first quarter’s non-GAAP operating loss, we remain focused

on meeting our objective to generate positive operating cash flows this year, and shall continue to closely monitor market trends and implement additional cost cutting measures whenever necessary.”

Mr. Elyakim also stated, “During the first quarter, we continued our accelerated stock repurchasing activity and repurchased approximately 620,000 shares for approximately $4.0 million at an average price of $6.4 per share.”

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 March 31, 2012 to the same period in 2011 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 Company’s objective to generate positive operating cash flows this year and implementing any necessary cost cutting measures. 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 impact of reductions in lead times and inventory levels by our customers and their customers; continued uncertainty in consumer demand for traditional cordless telephony products in our major end markets; unexpected delays in commercial launch or mass production of new products incorporating our technologies; the growth of new market verticals; our ability to lower operating expenses; our ability to secure additional design wins and general market demand for products that incorporate DSP Group’s technologies 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 2011 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.
