Management Comment

Rafi Amit, Camtek’s CEO, commented, “Camtek is the leader in the 3D metrology arena. Ourstrategy is to become a leading supplier in the 2D inspection segment as well. In the first half of 2020, we have expanded and strengthened our position in this segment. Some of our customers ordered multiple 2D Inspection machines with basic configuration which affected our average selling price (ASP). We expect these customers to purchase in the future machines for more complex applications with higher ASPs and margins.”

Continued Mr. Amit, “We are seeing strong business momentum. We entered the second quarter with record backlog resulting in good visibility and we expect a significant increase in revenue to between $36-38 million. In the third quarter, we see increased orders for machines with more advanced capabilities and we expect to show an improvement in profitability. It is important to stress thatwe are still within the Coronavirus pandemic and it is difficult to anticipate its full magnitude and impact on our business in the coming months.”
