<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:36pt;">On <font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">November 2, 2017</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">, DSP Group, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. A copy of the press release, dated November 2, 2017, is attached and filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1. This information, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed &ldquo;filed&rdquo; for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.</font></p>

<p style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:36pt;">In addition to the disclosure of financial results for the quarter ended <font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">September 30, 2017 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (&ldquo;GAAP&rdquo;), the press release also included non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share, for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 that excluded (a) for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets in the amount of $425,000 associated with previous acquisitions, equity-based compensation expenses of $1.4 million and changes in deferred tax in the amount of $0.2 million</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;"> related to intangible assets acquired in previous acquisitions and equity-based compensation expenses, and (b) for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets in the amount of $390,000 associated with previous acquisitions, equity-based compensation expenses of $1.5 million, changes in deferred tax in the amount of $0.1 million</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;"> related to intangible assets acquired in previous acquisitions, and other income in the amount of $2.5 million related to reversal of provisions due to the elapse of applicable statute of limitation</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">.</font></p>

<p style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:36pt;">The Company believes that the <font style="font-family:Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">non-GAAP presentation in the press release is useful to investors in analyzing the results for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 because the exclusion of such expense may provide a more meaningful analysis of the Company&rsquo;s core operating results. Further, the Company believes it is useful for investors to understand how the expenses associated with the application of FASB ASC No.&nbsp;718 are reflected on its statements of income. The non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, and are intended to provide additional insight into the Company&rsquo;s operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, offer a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company&rsquo;s business. The non-GAAP presentation should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company&rsquo;s reported GAAP results.</font></p>

ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On
November 2, 2017
, DSP Group, Inc. (the "Company") announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. A copy of the press release, dated November 2, 2017, is attached and filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1. This information, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.
In addition to the disclosure of financial results for the quarter ended
September 30, 2017 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), the press release also included non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share, for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 that excluded (a) for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets in the amount of $425,000 associated with previous acquisitions, equity-based compensation expenses of $1.4 million and changes in deferred tax in the amount of $0.2 million
related to intangible assets acquired in previous acquisitions and equity-based compensation expenses, and (b) for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets in the amount of $390,000 associated with previous acquisitions, equity-based compensation expenses of $1.5 million, changes in deferred tax in the amount of $0.1 million
related to intangible assets acquired in previous acquisitions, and other income in the amount of $2.5 million related to reversal of provisions due to the elapse of applicable statute of limitation
.
The Company believes that the
non-GAAP presentation in the press release is useful to investors in analyzing the results for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 because the exclusion of such expense may provide a more meaningful analysis of the Company's core operating results. Further, the Company believes it is useful for investors to understand how the expenses associated with the application of FASB ASC No. 718 are reflected on its statements of income. The non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, and are intended to provide additional insight into the Company's operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, offer a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company's business. The non-GAAP presentation should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's reported GAAP results.
