MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel – May 5, 2016– Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ: CAMT; TASE: CAMT), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Highlights of the First Quarter 2016

  • Revenues of $24.5 million, up 12% year over year;
  • Non-GAAP operating income of $0.5 million; GAAP operating income of $0.4 million;
  • Non-GAAP net income of $0.2 million; GAAP net income of $0 million;
  • Q2 revenue guidance of $25 to $27 million, representing 6% sequential growth at the midpoint;

 

Rafi Amit, Camtek’s Chairman and CEO, commented, “We are pleased with our revenues in the first quarter of 2016, a 12% increase over  those of last year in what is typically the weakest quarter. Gross margin in the quarter was lower than Camtek’s usual range due to a specific turnkey deal from a PCB customer with longer-term strategic value. This order also had an impact on our overall profitability in the quarter. We expect the gross margin to return to the typical range in the second quarter. The advanced packaging market continues to grow and capture a larger portion of the capital expenditure made by major manufacturers. We remain in a strong position to capitalize on this.”

Added Mr. Amit, “For the second quarter, we expect revenue between $25- $27 million. Our end-markets remain strong and we are on track for a solid 2016.”
