                    Quarterly Revenues Increased 24% YoY

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DSP Group, Inc.
(Nasdaq: DSPG), a worldwide leader in developing and providing chip-set
solutions for residential wireless connectivity, announced today its
results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006.
    Second Quarter Results:
    Revenues for the second quarter of 2006 were $60,737,000, an increase
of 24% from revenues of $49,047,000 for the second quarter of 2005. Net
income for the second quarter was $7,088,000, a decline of 14% from net
income of $8,248,000 for the second quarter of 2005. Diluted earnings per
share (EPS) for the second quarter of 2006 were $0.23, a decline of 18%
from $0.28 for the second quarter of 2005.
    Pro Forma Results:
    Pro forma net income and diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2006,
excluding the impact of equity-based compensation expense as required upon
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Share
Based Payment" ("SFAS 123(R)"), were $10,325,000 and $0.34, respectively,
representing an increase of 25% and 21%, respectively, from the second
quarter of 2005.
    Share Buyback:
    During the second quarter of 2006, DSP Group repurchased 976,000 shares
of its Common Stock at an average price of $25.58 per share, for an
aggregate price of approximately $25.0 million.
    After giving effect to the most recent repurchases, approximately 2.0
million shares of the Company's Common Stock remain authorized for
repurchase under the current repurchase program approved by the Company's
board of directors.
    Eli Ayalon, Chairman and CEO of DSP Group, stated: "The second quarter
of 2006 was another strong quarter for DSP Group. Our revenues increased by
24% as compared to 2005, and the overall financial results of the Company
for the second quarter of 2006 reflect a successful implementation of our
strategy."
    The Company believes that the pro forma presentation of net income and
diluted EPS presented in this press release is useful to investors in
comparing results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 to the same period
during 2005, because results for the second quarter of 2005 did not include
equity-based compensation expenses relating to SFAS 123(R). Further, the
Company believes it is useful to investors to understand how the expenses
associated with the application of SFAS 123(R) are reflected on its
statements of income.
