ZORAN CORPORATION REPORTS RECORD RESULTS FOR

THE FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END 2007

Company achieves records in revenues, profits, and units shipped for 2007

SUNNYVALE, Calif. (January 28, 2008) — Zoran Corporation (Nasdaq GS: ZRAN), a leading provider of digital solutions for applications in the growing digital entertainment and digital imaging markets, today reported results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007.

Revenues for the fourth quarter were $129.4 million, compared to $146.4 million last quarter and $96.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. The Company reported fourth quarter GAAP net income of $58.7 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, which includes a tax benefit of $56.2 million, as well as charges of $9.2 million for amortization of acquired intangible assets and $3.5 million for stock-based compensation expense. This compares with GAAP net income of $13.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the previous quarter and GAAP net loss of $11.0 million, or $0.22 per share, for the fourth quarter last year.

Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter was $18.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted share. This compares with non-GAAP net income of $26.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the previous quarter, and $4.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter last year. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company adjusted its annual tax rate in the fourth quarter from 10.7 percent to 4.7 percent resulting in a net tax benefit of $2.9 million. For all periods, non-GAAP net income excludes charges related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and the one-time tax benefit.

Revenues for the full year 2007 increased $11.6 million to $507.4 million, up from $495.8 million for 2006. Revenues for 2006 include $35.8 million pursuant to the settlement of litigation reached in the first quarter.

GAAP net income for 2007 increased $49.9 million to $66.2 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, up from $16.3 million or $0.33 per share for the full year 2006. Non-GAAP net income for 2007 was $70.9 million, or $1.37 per diluted share. This compares with non-GAAP net income of $52.1 million, or $1.03 per diluted share for 2006.

“2007 was a record year for Zoran in revenues, profits and units shipped,” said Dr. Levy Gerzberg, Zoran’s president and chief executive officer. “We achieved record revenues in our digital camera and Imaging product lines and saw increases in share across all of our core markets: DTV, DVD, digital cameras and Imaging. As we look to 2008, we expect to grow revenues and profits driven primarily by strength in our DTV and mobile phone product lines, as well as increases in our share in all of our target markets.”

“In addition, at the Consumer Electronics Show a few weeks ago, over 100 new customer products powered by Zoran were on display. We demonstrated Zoran’s latest technologies, such as our new Blu-Ray and HD DVD blue laser platform, set-top box and NTIA-certified converter box products, as well as the award-winning capabilities of our COACH digital camera processors.”

One-time tax benefit

Based on the Company’s recent historical operating results and its outlook for 2008 and beyond, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not to benefit from its deferred tax assets. These deferred tax assets are mostly attributable to net operating losses accumulated in prior years. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2007, the future realization of these deferred tax assets was uncertain which required us to provide a full valuation allowance netting the deferred tax assets to zero on the balance sheet. In releasing this valuation allowance the Company is establishing a deferred tax asset value of $55.9 million resulting in a one time tax benefit of $51.8 million and a decrease to goodwill of $4.1 million.

As a result of this determination, the accounting benefit of these net operating losses is no longer available to offset current income and consequently the Company’s book income tax rate will increase in 2008 and in subsequent years to a level that more closely reflects a weighted average of the statutory rates of the local and foreign tax jurisdictions in which it operates. For income tax filing and cash payment purposes, the Company does not expect any increase in the level of cash payments, as it continues to benefit from its net operating losses.

Outlook

The following statements are based on our current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

The Company currently expects first quarter 2008 revenues to be in the range between $104 and $109 million, with gross margins in the range of 50 to 51 percent. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which exclude non-cash charges for amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately $9.2 million, and stock-based compensation expense of approximately $3.2 to $3.6 million, are expected to be in a range of $52 to $53 million. The Company expects to record a GAAP net loss for the first quarter in the range of $0.15 to $0.19 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter, which excludes the

aforementioned non-cash charges, is expected to range between $0.05 and $0.09 per diluted share on approximately 54 million shares.

Zoran will provide more commentary on its first quarter results during the quarterly conference call.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Zoran provides non-GAAP financial information, consisting of non-GAAP operating expense and non-GAAP net income (loss) that excludes the one-time tax benefit, proceeds received as part of litigation settlements and the associated provision for income taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense.

The Company believes that its non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because it excludes charges that management considers to be outside of the Company’s core operating results. The Company believes that this non-GAAP net income (loss), in combination with the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provides investors with additional perspective and a more meaningful understanding of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. In addition, the Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to review and assess the financial performance of the Company, to determine executive officer incentive compensation, and to plan and forecast performance in future periods. The Company’s non-GAAP net income (loss) is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not an alternative to GAAP financial information, and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies.

(a) This adjustment reflects the proceeds received from the settlement of a license litigation net of associated fees and estimated income taxes. This amount is excluded by management when evaluating our core operating results as it is considered a non-recurring item which is not part of our ordinary, ongoing and customary course of operations. (see (e) below)

(b) This adjustment reflects the amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of Oak Technology, Inc. in August 2003, Emblaze Semiconductor in July 2004 and Oren Semiconductor, Inc. in June 2005. These acquired intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Such amortization expense does not impact the Company’s cash flows and is excluded by management when evaluating our core operating results. (see (e) below)

(c) This adjustment reflects the stock-based compensation expense recorded under SFAS 123R. The adjustment also includes additional stock based compensation expense attributable to options that were remeasured as part of the stock option review and the attributable tax implications under IRS regulation 409(A) that will be incurred by the Company. The Company excludes these items when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company as management believes this GAAP measure is not indicative of its core operating performance. (see (e) below)

(d) This adjustment represents the difference between non-GAAP income taxes and GAAP income taxes as a result of releasing previously reserved tax assets during the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company excludes this item when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company as it is considered a non-recurring item which is not part of our ordinary, ongoing and customary course of operations. (see (e) below)

(e) The Company believes that its non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because it excludes charges that management considers to be outside of the Company’s core operating results.
