“The current state of business in the microelectronics industry has been affecting our revenues from these markets,” commented Rafi Amit, Camtek’s CEO. “We still see some requests from customers to delay delivery, but we believe that we are maintaining our position in these markets. In addition, as we stated in our previous announcement, our sales to the PCB industry also declined this quarter. We believe that this is a temporary softening in the market due to the Chinese holidays.”

Mr. Amit added, “Regarding the PCB market, we are happy to report a warm welcome for the new line of Dragon models, which we recently introduced. We recently won orders from new strategic customers and further established our technological reputation and competitive position. Nevertheless, we continue to closely monitor our expense levels and we are adjusting them to our current and expected level of activity.”

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para (List) Flush Lv 0- TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Mr. Amit concluded, “Based on our current information, we expect to report in the second quarter between $15 and 17 million in revenues.”
