Camtek Announces Fourth Quarter & Full Year 2014 Results

CAMT

Q4 revenues of $20.6 million; Non-GAAP operating income of $0.7m; Expects revenue of $21.5-23m in Q1

MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, Feb. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: CAMT), today announced its financial results for the full year and quarter ended December 31, 2014.

Highlights of the Full Year 2014

  • Revenues of $88.3 million;
  • Non-GAAP operating income of $5.7 million; GAAP operating income of $5.1 million;
  • Non-GAAP net income of $4.6 million; GAAP net income of $3.3 million;
  • Positive operating cash flow of $5.3 million; Net cash and equivalents of $26.8 million as of December 31, 2014.

Highlights of the Fourth Quarter 2014

  • Revenues of $20.6 million;
  • Non-GAAP operating income of $700 thousand; GAAP operating income of $361 thousand;
  • Non-GAAP net income of $408 thousand; GAAP net income of $68 thousand;
  • Positive operating cash flow of $2.9 million.

Rafi Amit, Camtek's Chairman and CEO, commented, "I see 2014 as the year in which we put all the pieces in place and began executing on our strategy for accelerated growth in 2015. As we recently reported, we have started commercially marketing the Gryphon, our 3D Functional InkJet Technology product and received our first conditional purchase order for this product.

"In 2014, our semiconductor business saw organic growth of approximately 20% year over year. As we move into 2015, we are seeing increased traction for our Eagle product, focused on the advanced packaging market. We continue to achieve qualification at leading semiconductor manufacturers to which we had not significantly penetrated in the past. We see the potential in 2015 for multiple orders of tools from these customers."

Concluded Mr. Amit, "Looking ahead into 2015, we expect double-digit revenue growth in our semiconductor business, driven by increased capex spending by many of our customers. We also believe that we will see the initial contribution to revenue from the Gryphon in 2015. We expect to increase sales and marketing efforts somewhat to capture the opportunities that we believe the Gryphon will open up for us. We are very excited with this breakthrough technology, and we are confident that it will eventually become the standard adopted by the PCB industry. Our guidance for the first quarter of 2015 is $21.5-$23 million, which represents a sequential growth of 5-10%."

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, intellectual property litigation, price reductions as well as due to risks identified in the documents filed by the Company with the SEC.

Use of non-GAAP Measures

This press release provides financial measures that exclude certain items such as: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets and revaluation of liabilities with respect to the acquisitions of Sela and Printar; and (ii) share based compensation expenses, 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.
