CAMTEK EXPECTS SEQUENTIAL GROWTH

INTO THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2019

Reaffirms its fourth quarter 2018 revenue guidance

MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel – January 14, 2019 – Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ: CAMT; TASE: CAMT), today announced that in light of its order levels so far in the first quarter 2019, management expects sequential revenue growth into the first quarter of 2019. Management also reaffirmed its previously issued revenue guidance for the fourth quarter of 2018, which were for expectations of revenues between $32.5-$33.5 million, representing year over year growth of 26-30% and full year 2018 revenue growth of approximately 32%.

Rafi Amit Camtek’s CEO commented, “Ahead of our upcoming presentation at the Needham conference in New York later this week, and given the background of some general economic uncertainties in parts of the semiconductor market, I reaffirm that Camtek will meet its revenue target of 26-30% year-over-year growth for the fourth quarter of 2018. Furthermore, based on the level of orders we have already received, we expect sequential growth into the first quarter of 2019. These multiple orders include our combined 2D and 3D inspection and metrology system, the Eagle^T-AP. This new system, which began sales at the beginning of 2018, and has sold dozens of systems during the year, strengthens our competitive advantage as a leader in our market segment for Advanced Packaging applications.”
