FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CAMTEK ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER & FULL YEAR 2015 RESULTS

Q4 revenues of $25.8 million; Non-GAAP operating income of $1.8m;

MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel – February 11, 2015 – Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ: CAMT and TASE: CAMT), today announced its financial results for the full year and quarter ended December 31, 2015.

Highlights of the Full Year 2015

· Revenues of $99.3 million;

· Non-GAAP operating income of $6.0 million; GAAP operating loss of $10.1 million;

· Non-GAAP net income of $5.2 million; GAAP net loss of $10.1 million;

· Positive operating cash flow of $1.5 million; Net cash and equivalents of $38.7 million as of December 31, 2015 (including $7.9 million restricted cash).

Highlights of the Fourth Quarter 2015

· Revenues of $25.8 million;

· Non-GAAP operating income of $1.8 million; GAAP operating loss of $14.1 million;

· Non-GAAP net income of $2.9 million; GAAP net loss of $11.8 million;

· Operating cash flow of $2.4 million.

· Q1 2016 guidance of $24-25m

During the fourth quarter 2015 Camtek recorded a provision of $14.6 million in conjunction with the final court ruling on February 3, 2016 in its appeal in the patent infringement case of Rudolph Technologies Inc. regarding the Falcon system sold in the United States until 2010.

Rafi Amit, Camtek’s Chairman and CEO, commented , “I am very pleased with our performance in 2015. Our revenue is at a four year high, mainly driven by growth in the semiconductor market - particularly the advanced packaging segment, as well as other growing segments such as CMOS Image Sensors and MEMS. Between the various technologies such as bumps, fan-out and others, the advance packaging market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years and we are in a strong position to capitalize on this.”

Added Mr. Amit , “We are, of course, disappointed with the results of the appeal in the patent infringement case in the US with respect to the Falcon product, which has not been sold in the United States since 2010. With regards to our other products - the Eagle and Condor products use a different technology for which Camtek itself holds a valid US patent. Moreover, our newest and innovative technology, to be introduced at Semicon China next month, moves in a very different direction, making, we believe, the patent infringement allegations a non-issue with respect to all future sales. In addition, I stress that the U.S. market represents less than 10% of our global sales. ”

Continued Mr. Amit, “With regards to the digital printing technology, we continue to make steady progress. We are gaining positive and useful feedback from the four sites that currently use the Gryphon and we are incorporating the feedback from the field into the system. Gryphon is a revolutionary technology and we continue to see its exciting potential. We are confident that it will eventually replace many processes in the PCB industry. ”

Concluded Mr. Amit, “Looking ahead to 2016, we expect continued double-digit revenue growth in our semiconductor business, driven by increased capex spending by many of our customers. For the first quarter of 2016, we expect revenues of around $24-25 million, representing year-over-year growth at the midpoint of 13%. I note that our first quarter is seasonally the weakest of the year, due to the impact of the Chinese New-Year on our sales in Asia, mainly in the PCB segment.”

Fourth Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $25.8 million. This represents growth of 25% compared with fourth quarter 2014 revenues of $20.6 million.

Gross profit on a GAAP basis in the quarter totaled $10.6 million (41.3% of revenues). This amount includes a $1 million inventory write-down charge related to its one-color Gryphon systems. This is a 13% increase compared to $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 (45.9% of revenues).

Gross profit on a non-GAAP basis in the quarter totaled $11.7 million (45.4% of revenues). This is a 20% increase compared to $9.7 million (47.2% of revenues) in the fourth quarter of 2014. The variance in the gross margin is not indicative of a trend and is representative of the change in the revenue mix in the fourth quarter.

Operating loss on a GAAP basis in the quarter was $14.1 million (54.6% of revenues). This compares to an operating income of $360 thousand (1.7% of revenues) in the fourth quarter of 2014. The GAAP operating expenses included a goodwill write-off of $1.6 million which was offset with an income of $1.4 million associated with a contingent liability, both related to the digital printing business.

Operating income on a non-GAAP basis in the quarter was $1.8 million (6.8% of revenues). This compares to operating income of $0.7 million (3.4% of revenues) in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Net loss on a GAAP basis in the quarter totaled $11.8 million, or $(0.34) per diluted share. This compares to net income of $68 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Net income on a non-GAAP basis in the quarter was $2.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. This compares to a net income of $408 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Full Year 2015 Results Summary

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) revaluation of liabilities with respect to the acquisitions of Printar and Sela; (ii) share based compensation expenses; (iii) inventory write-downs related to the one-color Gryphon systems; (iv) goodwill impairment; and (v) loss from litigation, 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.
