CEVA, Inc. expects fourth-quarter revenue of $34 million to $38 million. Revenue at the $36 million midpoint would be its highest quarterly total. The $36 million midpoint is about 24% above CEVA's $29.1 million in Q3 revenue. That quarter's revenue fell short of estimates, as detailed in the company's [third-quarter results](). CEVA's forecast assumes higher smartphone modem royalties from a major U.S. customer, seasonal factors and a robust licensing pipeline. Royalties rose 18% sequentially in Q3, while memory headwinds and pressure in compute-intensive consumer markets weighed on device volumes. AI licensing revenue reached a quarterly record and accounted for more than 35% of licensing and related revenue, CEO Amir Panush said. Panush also said licensing revenue fell below expectations. ## Links in this article - [third-quarter results](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/business/52881)
