Highlights of the Second Quarter of 2014

Non-GAAP and GAAP Gross margins of $11.5 million, representing 49.5% of revenues;

Non-GAAP net income of $2.3 million; GAAP net income of $2.0 million.

Rafi Amit, Camtek's Chairman and CEO, commented, "We are pleased with the results and the progress we have made during the second quarter."

Continued Mr. Amit, "Our new product strategy is progressing well. With regard to the commercialization process of our 3D Functional Ink-Jet Technology product, Gryphon, our two beta sites have been ongoing for a few months and so far, we are happy with the results. The more we run the machine in a production environment, as well as meeting with potential customers, the more confident we become in our belief that Ink-Jet technology for solder-mask will be the dominant technology in the PCB industry for years to come. We remain on track and expect initial commercial Gryphon installations at customers to begin in the fourth quarter, with revenues expected in 2015. Our other recently launched next-generation semiconductor inspection and metrology platform for the advanced packaging market, Eagle, is also gaining strong traction especially among leading OSATs. We look forward to unleashing and realizing the potential within our new products and expect them to increasingly contribute to our future revenues."

Concluded Mr. Amit, "Our existing business continues to show solid performance, and overall Camtek is on track for a good year. In the third quarter, we expect revenues to remain around the same level as that of the second quarter."

Use of non-GAAP Measures

This press release provides financial measures that exclude certain items such as: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets and revaluation of liabilities with respect to the acquisitions of Sela and Printar; and (ii) share based compensation expenses, 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.
