Fourth Quarter 2010 Financial Results

Revenues grew 6% sequentially and came in slightly above the formerly issued guidance range of between $22-25 million. The continued growth is as a result of the continued increase in demand from customers as well as penetration into new customers and increasing sales of the Company's new products.
Gross profit on a GAAP basis in the quarter totaled $11.7 million (46% of revenues), compared with $3.7 million (22% of revenues) in the fourth quarter of 2009. Gross profit on a non-GAAP basis in the quarter totaled $12.0 million (47.0% of revenues), compared with $7.3 million (43% of revenues) in the fourth quarter of 2009. The improvement in the gross margin resulted mainly from the increase in revenues.
Operating income on a GAAP basis in the quarter was $1.8 million (7% of revenues) compared with an operating loss of $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP operating income was $2.3 million (9% of revenues) in the quarter compared with an operating income of $0.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Non-GAAP operating expenses in the quarter reached $9.7 million, a sequential increase of $1.2 million mainly due to an increase in R&D expenses mainly related to new product development as well as higher legal expenses related to patent litigation with a competitor.
Net income on a GAAP basis for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million, or loss of $0.14 per share in the fourth quarter of 2009.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income in the fourth quarter of 2010 was $2.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with net income of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Management Comment
Roy Porat, Camtek's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our revenues for the quarter were even slightly higher than the guidance range we provided last quarter, as our customers are expanding their capacity faster than we had anticipated. While we did face some increased operating expenses in the quarter, overall we are delighted with our results and progress, ending a strong turnaround year for Camtek. We came into 2010 at the start of a recovery in the main two industries in which we operate: that of PCB and Semiconductors. We also see much potential for our two recently acquired growth engines: SELA and Printar, and our new inspection tool to the Front End market, the GANNET, and we are very pleased with how these businesses have advanced throughout the year. We made initial sales of the GANNET and SELA machines and we are making headway with evaluations at some highly strategic customers. We started our beta-test on Printar's DMD product, which is proceeding according to our milestone timeline, and we believe that we are in a position to target initial installations in the second half of this year."
Concluded Mr. Porat, "In terms of our outlook for the first quarter of 2011, we anticipate maintaining our current levels of revenue, between $25-$27 million. This indicates a continued strength in our markets, especially since the first quarter is seasonally weaker, as it coincides with the Chinese New Year- China being a region where many of our customers are located. In terms of our ongoing operating expenses excluding legal expenses, we expect some increase in 2011 compared with the run-rate of the fourth quarter, due to an increase in employee related and R&D expenses, mainly due to the expansion of investments in our new product lines. Finally, we believe that our business will continue to grow into 2011 and that our new products and growth engines will contribute significantly to our revenues. "
