Camtek Announces First Quarter 2016 Results

May 5, 2016 7:10 AM

MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, May 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ: CAMT; TASE: CAMT), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Highlights of the First Quarter 2016

  • Revenues of $24.5 million, up 12% year over year;
  • Non-GAAP operating income of $0.5 million; GAAP operating income of $0.4 million;
  • Non-GAAP net income of $0.2 million; GAAP net income of $0 million;
  • Q2 revenue guidance of $25 to $27 million, representing 6% sequential growth at the midpoint;

Rafi Amit, Camtek's Chairman and CEO, commented, "We are pleased with our revenues in the first quarter of 2016, a 12% increase over those of last year in what is typically the weakest quarter. Gross margin in the quarter was lower than Camtek's usual range due to a specific turnkey deal from a PCB customer with longer-term strategic value. This order also had an impact on our overall profitability in the quarter. We expect the gross margin to return to the typical range in the second quarter. The advanced packaging market continues to grow and capture a larger portion of the capital expenditure made by major manufacturers. We remain in a strong position to capitalize on this."

Added Mr. Amit, "For the second quarter, we expect revenue between $25- $27 million. Our end-markets remain strong and we are on track for a solid 2016."

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.
