Rafi Amit, Camtek’s CEO, commented, “In 2006 we set a new record for Camtek both in revenue and in profit. Despite the industry-wide slowdown in the fourth quarter, we achieved revenues of $100 million, nearly 60% over 2005. What makes this growth noteworthy is that we accomplished it by expanding our business while maintaining healthy margins and profitability.”

“Our sales to the semiconductor manufacturing and packaging industries doubled this year, increasing market share; our revenues in the PCB and HDI-S industries were up 42% from 2005 levels, indicating our strong position in this market.”

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

Mr. Amit continued, “We are continuing our investments in developing new capabilities and in enhancing performance of our product lines, both for the semiconductor manufacturing and packaging industry – our current main potential growth engine -, and for the PCB / HDI-S market. The PCB / HDI-S market remains very viable for us, as we believe it retains the potential for further growth.

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

Mr. Amit concluded, “We are experiencing similar softness to that reported by several suppliers in our marketplaces. This softness resulted in reduced revenue, lower margins and consequently a loss in the fourth quarter. We believe this is an outcome of the inherent cyclicality of the industry, and have already begun adjusting our expense level to the current business environment. At this point, we expect revenues in the first quarter of 2007 in the range of $16 to 18 million. Nevertheless, based on inputs from our customers, we expect a shift in the market and an increased demand for our products in the second quarter of 2007, and a further increase in demand for our products during the second half of the year. We are maintaining our capability to support this anticipated increased demand.”
