Commenting on the results, Ofer Elyakim, CEO of DSP Group, stated, "Our first quarter performance reflects continued improvement in our non-GAAP gross margin of 160 bps to 44.2%, and execution of our new products strategy as evidenced by the solid year-over-year revenue growth of 30% and 42% in our Office/VoIP and IoT businesses, respectively. These initiatives, together with a modest recovery in our cordless business, more than offset the expected temporary shortfall in HDClear revenues."
