FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CAMTEK ANNOUNCES RECORD RESULTS FOR 2019

Expects Growth in the First Half of 2020

MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel – February 20, 2020 – Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ: CAMT; TASE: CAMT), today announced its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019.

Highlights of the Fourth Quarter of 2019
 

Revenues of $33.2 million, similar to the fourth quarter 2018 and in line with guidance;
 

GAAP operating income of $4.6 million; non-GAAP operating income of $5.4 million, representing an operating margin of 13.8% and 16.3%, respectively;
 

GAAP net income of $4.6 million and non-GAAP net income of $5.4 million; and
 

Strong operating cash flow of $7.5 million.
 
Highlights of the Full Year 2019
 

Revenues of $134 million; a 9% year-over-year increase;
 

GAAP operating income of $22.0 million;
 

Non-GAAP operating income of $25.0 million;
 

GAAP net income of $22.0 million;
 

Non-GAAP net income of $23.9 million; and
 

Strong operating cash flow of $24.7 million in 2019 leading to year-end net cash balance of $89.5 million.
 
Forward-Looking Expectations

Based on orders in hand, Camtek expected revenues of between $33 and $34 million for the first quarter. However, despite the demand for Camtek’s products by Chinese customers, certain governmental restrictions aiming to control the spread of the Coronavirus may cause delays in installations in China, and may therefore impact upon Camtek’s revenues in the first quarter.

Since Camtek has good visibility into its second quarter revenues and, assuming the Coronavirus situation is resolved not too far into the second quarter, it is expected that revenue for the first half of 2020 would be at a record level of approximately $70 million.



Management Comment

Rafi Amit Camtek’s CEO commented, “Camtek closed 2019 with record revenues and profit. I am very proud of this impressive achievement, especially in light of the weaker semiconductor market last year. We were able to demonstrate 9% year-over-year revenue growth while the semiconductor market as a whole declined by over 10%.”

Continued Mr. Amit, “The market drivers for our products remain strong across different applications such as CMOS image sensors, 5G and advanced interconnect packaging.

“The Chinese market is significant to our business and represents an important long-term growth engine. We continue to receive orders from this region and even in recent days we have received several orders for multiple machines from major Chinese customers. Meanwhile, the demand from other territories is also strong. We hope that the Coronavirus will be contained soon and the people in China will be able to get back to their normal lives.

“We have started 2020 with a strong backlog, and as mentioned, we expect record revenues of approximately $70 million for the first half of the year.”

This press release is available at http://www.camtek.com

This press release may contain projections or other forward-looking statements regarding future events or the future performance of the Company. These statements are only predictions and may change as time passes. We do not assume any obligation to update that information. Actual events or results may differ materially from those projected, including as a result of changing industry and market trends, reduced demand for our products, the timely development of our new products and their adoption by the market, increased competition in the industry, the disruption to our business related to the coronavirus, including its spread and effects in and  beyond China across the Asia Pacific region, which includes, inter alia, South Korea and Taiwan, and globally, intellectual property litigation, price reductions as well as due to risks identified in the documents filed by the Company with the SEC.

This press release provides financial measures that exclude: (i) share based compensation expenses, (ii) Chroma transaction expenses, (iii) discontinued operations, and (iv) write off costs with regard to the FIT activities, and are therefore not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when evaluating the business internally and therefore felt it is important to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors. A reconciliation between the GAAP and non-GAAP results appears in the tables at the end of this press release.
