Rafi Amit, Camtek’s CEO, commented: “Our first quarter decline in sales was due to a flattening in the demand for production capacity. After a year of exceptional growth in capacity, our customers delayed their purchasing decisions until the very end of the quarter. In fact, we received many of the orders in the first quarter during March, after the Chinese New Year and the major trade show in Shanghai, where our newest models have raised significant interest.”

Rafi Amit continued, “We believe that the flattening in capacity build-up was short-term, and in the second quarter, we have already seen strong indications that our customers are again accelerating their purchase decisions and the demand for production capacity is strengthening. Over the past few weeks, we have seen a significant increase in orders. Therefore, we expect to recognize second quarter revenues of between $16 and $18 million, with revenues growing over the rest of the year.”
