Repost This

MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, August 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Camtek Ltd.
(NASDAQ and TASE: CAMT), today announced its financial results for the second
quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2009 increased 34% to $12.5 million,
compared to $9.3 million in the first quarter of 2009. Revenues in the second
quarter last year totaled $22.7 million.

Gross profit for the second quarter totaled $4.2 million, a 21% increase
compared to the $3.5 million gross profit in the first quarter of 2009. Gross
profit for the second quarter of 2008 totaled $8.8 million. Gross margin for
the second quarter of 2009 totaled 34%, compared to 37% in the first quarter
of 2009 and 38.9% in the second quarter of 2008.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2009 totaled $2.1 million,
compared to the $5.0 million operating loss in the prior quarter. Operating
loss in the second quarter 2008 totaled $0.5 million.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2009 totaled $2.1 million, or $0.07
per share, compared to $5.5 million, or $0.19 per share in the prior quarter.
Net loss for the second quarter last year totaled $0.5 million, or $0.02 per
share.

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2009, totaled $12.0 million
compared to $11.4 million at the end of March 31, 2009 and $14.4 million net,
at the end of December 31, 2008.

“During the second quarter we recognized a sequential increase in
revenues and gross profit, while narrowing both our operating and net loss.
Furthermore, we managed our cash resources, through prudent expense
management, directly attributed to the deep restructuring measures
implemented during the first quarter,” said Rafi Amit, Camtek’s CEO. “Looking
ahead, despite the tough business environment we operate in, we continue to
invest in R&D, in order to improve performances of our current product lines,
as well as to develop new products. We estimate that revenues in the third
quarter will be slightly higher than those of the second quarter.”
