Management Comment

Rafi Amit Camtek's CEO commented, "Camtek's second quarter results reflect continued demand for our products, especially in Asia.

"We have increased our market share in 2D inspection mainly as a result of the significant improvement in our system performance and competitiveness in all 2D applications. In addition, we are benefitting from our strategy of having in place local professional teams that can independently install and support machines in all our territories. This has enabled us to continue growing our business even during the COVID-19 pandemic."

Continued Mr. Amit, "The revenues in the second quarter were at a record level, and the ongoing demands from our customers for various applications point to a strong third quarter, with encouraging backlog for the fourth quarter. However, it is important to stress that we are still seeing the Coronavirus pandemic effects, which increase risks and uncertainties."
