Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results
Revenues for the second quarter of 2010 increased 66% to $20.8 million, compared to $12.5 million in the second quarter of
2009. Revenues grew 18% sequentially, representing the fifth quarter of continued sequential growth. This growth is a result
of increase in demand from our costumers due to improving market conditions as well as our penetration into new customers
and new product lines.

Gross profit on a GAAP basis for the quarter was $8.8 million (42.4% of revenues), compared to gross profit of $4.2 million
(33.5% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, gross profit for the quarter of 2010 totaled
$9.1 million (43.5% of revenues). The improvement in the gross margin resulted mainly from the increase in revenues.
Operating income on a GAAP basis, in the second quarter of 2010 was $1.2 million compared with an operating loss of
$2.1 million in the second quarter of 2009.  Non-GAAP operating income was $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2010.
Net income on a GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $460 thousand, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a
net loss of $2.1 million, or a loss of $0.07 per share, in the second quarter of 2009. On a Non-GAAP basis, net income in
the second quarter of 2010 was $1.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.
Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2010 were $14.1 million compared to $16.2 million at the end of the prior quarter.
The decrease resulted mainly from an increase in accounts receivable and inventory due to the increase in sales as well as
the Company’s expectations of increased future demands. 
Roy Porat, Camtek’s General Manager, commented, “We are very happy with our results of the quarter which demonstrate the
solid footing underlying the recovery in our markets. The markets in which we operate are all in high utilization, and our
clients are actively expanding their capacity by investing in capital equipment.”

Continued Mr. Porat, “Looking ahead into the second half of 2010 and 2011, we see Camtek’s business evolving from a two
vertical business to a four vertical one, which will further diversify our exposure to the industry cycles in which we
operate. The two new additional product lines of Macro Inspection and Sample Preparation are already starting to contribute
to our top line. We have a number of leads and we aim to turn these leads into sales in the coming quarters.

Concluded Mr. Porat, “With regard to our revenue outlook for the third quarter, we anticipate another quarter of sequential
top-line growth, with revenues reaching between $22-24 million.”
