Roy Porat, Camtek’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are very pleased with our third quarter results, showing revenues coming in as expected, with high operating and net margins – in line with our long-term target business model. We believe our current strong results are a good indication of our longer term potential, despite the recent weakness that we have seen in our end-markets.”

Continued Mr. Porat, “Given the global macroeconomic concerns, our industry as a whole sees increased uncertainty ahead, particularly in the semiconductor segment and we see cautious purchase patterns from our customers. Hence, for the fourth quarter we expect revenues to come in between $15-18 million.  In order to address this, we are taking steps to reduce our cost base and breakeven point.”
