Nova Measuring
Instruments Provides Positive Outlook
For the Third Quarter of 2005
REHOVOT, Israel, October 11 – Nova Measuring Instruments Ltd. (NASDAQ:NVMI), the market leader of Integrated Metrology systems, today announced that it expects its revenues for the third quarter of 2005 to increase by more than 15% over those of the second quarter of 2005, strengthening the Company’s confidence in its continued revenue growth expectations.
The Company reported that the
increase in revenues over the previous quarter is attributed in particular to repeat
orders of integrated metrology with customers in the US and in Asia Pacific, primarily for
copper CMP.
The Company also reported that it expects to continue its revenue growth trend
in the fourth quarter of 2005, although visibility in the market is still limited.
Dr. Giora Dishon, Nova’s President and CEO, said: “As we expected, we continued on our strong revenue growth trend this quarter. This was achieved by leveraging on our wide product portfolio and existing integrations, as well as by expanding our service organization. In particular, we our proud of our success in achieving a wide penetration into high volume manufacturing of copper CMP at two major customers, US and Asia Pacific.”
Dr.
Dishon continued, “Our recent introduction of the NovaScan 3090 is now
available on all the process equipment of our business partners. This new
system, combined with the factors that led to our success during the quarter, we
believe, provides us with greater prospects when looking forward to the coming
quarters.”
Nova’s final results for the third quarter of 2005 will be
released and discussed during the second week of November.
