Third Quarter 2010 Financial Results
Revenues for the third quarter of 2010 increased 65% to $23.9 million, compared to $14.5 million in the third quarter of 2009. Revenues grew 15% sequentially, representing the sixth quarter of continued sequential growth. This growth is a result of the continued increase in demand from customers, due to improving market conditions as well as penetration into new customers and sales of new products.
Gross profit on a GAAP basis for the quarter was $10.9 million (45.6% of revenues), compared to gross profit of $6.1 million (42% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, gross profit for the third quarter of 2010 totaled $10.9 million (45.8% of revenues). The improvement in the gross margin resulted mainly from the increase in revenues.
Operating income on a GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2010 was $2.3 million (9.7% of revenues) compared with an operating loss of $179 thousand in the third quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP operating income was $2.5 million (10.5% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2010.
Net income on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2010 totaled $2.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.3 million, or a loss of $0.01 per share in the third quarter of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, net income in the third quarter of 2010 was $2.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share.
Cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash as of September 30, 2010 was $13.1 million (of which $5.2 million is restricted), and the Company owed bank debt of $2 million, compared to $14.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and no bank debt, at the end of the prior quarter. The decrease in the cash level in the quarter, resulted mainly from a negative operating cash flow of $0.9 million, due to an increase in accounts receivable and inventory, because of the increase in sales as well as the Company's expectations for increased future demand. The Company also repaid a loan of $1.7 million to a third party in the third quarter.
In August 2010, the Company signed an agreement with an Israeli bank for a credit line totaling $11.5 million. Out of that, $2.6 million is a bank loan out of which the Company has already utilized $2 million, and the remaining $8.9 million is a bank guarantee to support a bond deposited with the U.S. Federal District Court in Minnesota, in order to stay judgment during the appeal process in a patent infringement case filed against Camtek by a competitor. To secure the above credit line, the Company deposited $5.2 million of its cash as restricted cash.
Roy Porat, Camtek's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are very pleased with our third quarter results, which demonstrated very strong growth on both a sequential and year-over-year basis. The markets in which we traditionally operate continue to be in high utilization, with customers actively expanding their capacity by investing in capital equipment. In addition, our new product lines of Macro Inspection and Sample Preparation are gaining increasing traction in the market, and we achieved sales and important penetrations into new customers for both product lines. Our semiconductor revenues have become an important portion of our overall mix."
Concluded Mr. Porat, "In terms of our outlook for the fourth quarter, we anticipate maintaining our current high quarterly revenue level, coming in between $22-$25 million. We also expect our operating cash flow will improve in the fourth quarter and into next year. Finally, we believe that we will continue to grow into 2011, particularly as our new products and growth engines begin to more significantly contribute to our revenues."
