Management Comments:
Commenting on the results, Ofer Elyakim, CEO of DSP Group, stated: “We are very pleased with our outstanding results. We successfully navigated tight supply chain challenges, posted a record quarter on virtually all fronts, and surpassed our guidance on most financial metrics. Revenues of $35.8 million were at the high-end of our guidance range, up 26% year-over-year and 10% sequentially. Revenue growth was driven by strong demand for voice-centric products, predominantly in our IoAT businesses, which reached record revenues of $25 million, up 35% year over year and 19% sequentially and comprising 69% of total revenues. The favorable mix of products and the solid revenue growth propelled record high non-GAAP gross margins of 54.1%.”
Mr. Elyakim continued, “Looking ahead to the third quarter, we expect the solid momentum in our business to continue, translating into revenue growth both sequentially and year over year. These are exciting times for DSP Group as markets shift favorably in our direction, driving record demand for our core expertise. These promising trends are propelled by new models of living, working and interacting, all of which increasingly rely on voice-centric products delivered by our IoAT businesses. The breadth and depth of our technology offering, including a comprehensive portfolio of software and silicon, uniquely positions DSP Group to capitalize on these large growth opportunities. We are experiencing record design activity, which positions us well for continued revenue growth ahead.”
