MIGDAL HA’EMEK, Israel, January 5, 2006 – Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ: CAMT, TASE: CAMT) today announced that it expects to recognize revenues in the range of $20-23 million in the first quarter of 2006. This preliminary guidance is based on the current backlog and prospects for Camtek’s Falcon systems, which indicate another strong quarter, and on the assumption that the PCB market remains at a similar level as in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Mr. Rafi Amit, Camtek’s CEO commented, “We are very pleased with the recent momentum in our business driven by the success of the Falcon. The strong growth in sales of Falcon in the fourth quarter of 2005, as well as our current backlog and prospects, form the basis for our high confidence entering 2006.”
