Management Comment

Rafi Amit Camtek's CEO commented, "Camtek's second quarter results reflect our strong track record of execution with record revenues and robust profitability. This is despite the current weaker semiconductor market.

One of the consequences of the market uncertainty is that our customers are ordering equipment only for their short-term production needs and require short delivery times.

As a result, for the third quarter, while we still expect a solid level of revenues, our expectations are for revenues within the range of $31 - 33 million."

Continued Mr. Amit, "In the first half of 2019 we achieved an impressive revenue level of $68.3 million, 18% higher than in the first half of 2018, which itself was a record year for Camtek and the semiconductors industry. This performance demonstrates Camtek's strong position in the market. Fundamental market drivers for our equipment demand have not changed and Camtek is in an excellent position to win as the market ramps up."

This press release may contain projections or other forward-looking statements regarding future events or the future performance of the Company. These statements are only predictions and may change as time passes. We do not assume any obligation to update that information. Actual events or results may differ materially from those projected, including as a result of changing industry and market trends, reduced demand for our products, the timely development of our new products and their adoption by the market, increased competition in the industry, price reductions as well as due to other risks identified in our Annual Report on Form 20-F and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC, that represent our views only as of the date they are made and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date.

This press release provides financial measures that exclude: (i) share based compensation expenses; (ii) certain Chroma transaction expenses; (iii) discontinued operations; and (iv) write off costs with regard to the FIT activities, and are therefore not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

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.
