Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements that may constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or
the Exchange Act, and the safe-harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
statements are based on the current beliefs, expectations and
assumptions of Camtek Ltd. ("we," "us" and "our"). Forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of words including
"believe," "anticipate," "should," "intend," "plan," "will," "may,"
"expect," "estimate," "project," "positioned," "strategy," and
similar expressions that are intended to identify forward-looking
statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain
these identifying words. These forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of Camtek to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Our actual
results and performance could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of many
factors, including as a result of the effect of the COVID-19 crisis
on the global markets and on the markets in which we operate,
including the risk of the continuation of disruptions to our and
our customers', providers', business partners and contractors'
businesses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; our dependency
upon the semiconductor industry and the risk that unfavorable
economic conditions or low capital expenditures may negatively
impact our operating results; the highly competitive nature of the
markets we serve, some of which have dominant market participants
with greater resources than us; the rapid evolvement of technology
in the markets in which we operate, and our ability to adequately
predict these changes or keep pace with emerging industry
standards; the risks relating to the concentration of a significant
portion of our business in certain countries in the Asia Pacific
Region, particularly China,
Taiwan and Korea; 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; price reductions;
and those other factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F
and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC as well
as other documents that may be subsequently filed by Camtek from
time to time with the SEC.
While we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each
forward-looking statement contained in this press release, we
caution you that these statements are based on a combination of
facts and factors currently known by us and our projections of the
future, about which we cannot be certain. In addition, any
forward-looking statements represent Camtek's views only as of the
date of this press release and should not be relied upon as
representing its views as of any subsequent date. Camtek does not
assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements
unless required by law.
