CAMTEK ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY SECOND QUARTER 2022 REVENUE OF APPROXIMATELY $80 MILLION AT THE TOP END OF THE GUIDANCE RANGE AND CONTINUED STRONG ORDER FLOW

Received orders of over $200 million since the beginning of 2022

MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ: CAMT) (TASE: CAMT), today announced, ahead of its Semicon-West trade-show related activities, that its preliminary revenues for the second quarter of 2022 will be approximately $80 million. This is at the top end of the company's previously announced guidance range of between $77 to 80 million.

Despite current market uncertainties, Camtek had a strong quarter in terms of order momentum and since the beginning of 2022 has received orders of over $200 million and continues to maintain a healthy backlog. The orders were received from a broad range of customers and will be used for various applications such as Advanced Interconnect Packaging, including Panel Fan-out Wafer Level Packaging (FOWLP), Front End, compound semiconductors and CMOS Image Sensors (CIS).

Rafi Amit, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "I am very pleased with the expected upcoming second quarter results showing a record quarter for Camtek, as well as the outlook for the year, especially against the background of a weaker market climate. Our healthy backlog together with a strong flow of orders strengthens our expectations for another record year at Camtek with 2022 year-over-year revenue growth in the mid to high teens."

Camtek will release its second quarter financial results on July 27, 2022 and will hold an investor conference call on the same date.
