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

REHOVOT, Israel, October 11 – Nova Measuring Instruments Ltd. (NASDAQ:NVMI), the market leader of Integrated Metrology systems, today announced that it expects its revenues for the third quarter of 2005 to increase by more than 15% over those of the second quarter of 2005, strengthening the Company’s confidence in its continued revenue growth expectations.

The Company reported that the increase in revenues over the previous quarter is attributed in particular to repeat orders of integrated metrology with customers in the US and in Asia Pacific, primarily for copper CMP. The Company also reported that it expects to continue its revenue growth trend in the fourth quarter of 2005, although visibility in the market is still limited.

Dr. Giora Dishon, Nova’s President and CEO, said: “As we expected, we continued on our strong revenue growth trend this quarter. This was achieved by leveraging on our wide product portfolio and existing integrations, as well as by expanding our service organization. In particular, we our proud of our success in achieving a wide penetration into high volume manufacturing of copper CMP at two major customers, US and Asia Pacific.”
