- Ceva Forward-Looking Statements. The documents contained in (or directly accessible from) this Website concerning Ceva’s future expectations, plans and prospects are “forward-looking statements”, which are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results that differ materially from those stated. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (including, without limitation, statements to the effect that the company or its management “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “plans” and similar expressions) should be considered forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described, including the following:
- The industries in which we license our technology may experience a challenging period of slow growth that negatively impacts and could continue to negatively impact our business and operating results;
- The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and as a result we could experience a loss of sales, lower prices and lower revenue;
- Our operating results fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of factors including our lengthy sales cycle, and are not a meaningful indicator for future performance;
- We rely significantly on revenue derived from a limited number of licensees; and
- Other risks discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Factors that Could Affect Our Operating Results” in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
