Roy Porat, Camtek's General Manager, commented, "We are happy with our first quarter results. Although results are normally seasonally weaker in the first quarter than those of the fourth quarter, they, in fact, improved and are in line with our strong expectations, demonstrating the solid footing underlying the recovery."
Continued Mr. Porat, "As we move through the second quarter, we can definitely say that the markets we operate in are now all in a high utilization mode and customers are actively expanding their capacity by investing in capital equipment. Looking ahead, we are expecting to show continued improvements, not only from the recovery and expansion of our main markets, but also from the additional growth of our new products, which are targeting new and potentially larger markets for Camtek. With regard to our outlook for the second quarter, we expect revenues of between $20-$22 million and anticipate continued growth into the second half of the year.

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.
