PR Newswire

MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, May 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ: CAMT; TASE: CAMT), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

  • GAAP net income of $3.3 million; non-GAAP net income of $3.4 million;
  • Strong operating cash flow of $5.9 million;
  • Second quarter revenue guidance of $33-34 million represents 23% year-over-year growth at the mid-point;

Rafi Amit, Camtek's CEO, commented, "This is an excellent start to 2017, which demonstrates we are executing well on our strategy and plans. Our results mark the best quarter in our history from the revenue standpoint, with exceptionally strong cash flow and a multi-year high in margins. Our solid performance was driven by strength across all our business parts, and the advanced packaging market in particular that remains one of the fastest growing segments of the semiconductor capital equipment space."

Added Mr. Amit, "Looking ahead, our business environment remains very positive. The outlook for the second quarter is for continued growth with revenues between $33-34 million. All signs point to another year of strong performance for Camtek."

First Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Revenues for the first quarter of 2017 were $30.8 million. This compares to first quarter 2016 revenues of $24.5 million, a growth of 26% and prior quarter revenues of $29.3 million, an increase of 5%.

Gross profit on a non-GAAP basis in the quarter totaled $14.8 million (48.2% of revenues), compared to $10.3 million (42.3% of revenues) in the first quarter 2016.

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:(i) revaluation of liabilities with respect to the acquisition of 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.
