“During the second quarter we recognized a sequential increase in revenues and gross profit, while narrowing both our
operating and net loss. Furthermore, we managed our cash resources, through prudent expense management, directly attributed to the deep restructuring measures implemented during the first quarter,” said Rafi Amit, Camtek’s CEO. “Looking ahead,
despite the tough business environment we operate in, we continue to invest in R&D, in order to improve performances of our
current product lines, as well as to develop new products. We estimate that revenues in the third quarter will be slightly
higher than those of the second quarter.”
