Camtek Announces First Quarter 2015 ResultsMIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, April 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: CAMT), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Highlights of the First Quarter 2015
Rafi Amit, Camtek's Chairman and CEO, commented, "Following a number of recent sales of our Eagle system to new accounts, we expect increasing second quarter revenues in our semiconductor business. We see this positive momentum continuing into the third quarter as well, which supports our year-over-year double-digit growth target in our semiconductor business." Continued Mr. Amit, "We are pleased with the progress we have made in the Gryphon commercialization. We have started an evaluation process at a major PCB manufacturer and we are expanding our marketing efforts for Gryphon into the Asian market, which is the largest market for PCB manufacturers. Our recently launched next generation model, the Gryphon SL, enables both legend and solder mask deposition. We believe that our customers are, and will be, attracted by the prospect of using Gryphon for both these processes, which are currently very time consuming. Following the initial feedback from this launch, in anticipation of customers' evaluations and orders, we are now building Gryphon SL machines." "All in all we expect a good second quarter, with a total sales of $23-25 million," concluded Mr. Amit. First Quarter 2015 Financial Results Revenues for the first quarter of 2015 were $21.8 million.
