Management Comment
Rafi Amit, Camtek’s CEO commented, “We continue to see solid business, particularly in our main segment, Advanced Packaging, which accounted for 60% of our revenues. In the first quarter, we shipped multiple systems to six tier-1 customers in the Advanced Packaging and Heterogeneous Integration space, contributing more than 40% of quarterly revenues. Among others, we received a strategically important order for nine machines from a tier-1 customer for Advanced Packaging applications, to be delivered in the second and third quarters of this year.”
Concluded Mr Amit “Following our strong growth in recent years and given the current slowdown in our end-markets, we are currently making efforts to optimize our cost structure, mainly on the gross margin level, while maintaining flexibility at the inventory level to support growth once the market picks up again. At the same time, we continue our investment in R&D with plans to release new products later this year.”
