Insights

Camtek reports exceptional Q1 with 22% revenue growth, margin expansion, and bullish outlook driven by AI semiconductor packaging demand.

Camtek has delivered an exceptional first quarter with $118.6 million in revenue, representing a 22% year-over-year increase and setting a new company record. The financial performance shows impressive momentum across all key metrics, with particularly notable strength in profitability indicators.

The gross margin expansion is especially significant, with GAAP gross margins reaching 51.0% from 46.2% a year earlier, and non-GAAP margins hitting 52.1% versus 50.7% in Q1 2024. This 4.8 percentage point improvement in GAAP gross margin suggests meaningful operational leverage and potential pricing power in Camtek's product lineup.

Operating income showed even more dramatic improvement, surging 54% year-over-year on a GAAP basis to $32.7 million, with operating margins expanding to 27.6% from 21.9%. The company's ability to grow operating profits at more than twice the rate of revenue growth demonstrates exceptional operational efficiency and scaling capabilities.

The company's cash position remains formidable at $522.6 million, up from $501.2 million at year-end 2024, giving Camtek substantial financial flexibility for potential acquisitions, R&D investments, or shareholder returns. The $23.6 million in operating cash flow during Q1 further reinforces the company's strong cash generation capabilities.

Looking ahead, management's Q2 revenue guidance of $120-123 million implies continued growth momentum with 17-20% year-over-year expansion. This outlook, combined with the company's strategic positioning in advanced packaging for AI applications, suggests Camtek is executing effectively in high-growth semiconductor segments while maintaining robust profitability.

The successful launch of new systems (Eagle G5 and Hawk) targeting next-generation packaging technologies like HBM4 and advanced CoWoS positions Camtek favorably in the semiconductor inspection equipment market, particularly as AI computing demands continue driving innovation in chip packaging techniques.

Management Comment

Rafi Amit, Camtek's CEO commented, "We have kicked off 2025 with record quarterly revenues and significantly improved profitability. Our primary growth driver for the coming years is advanced packaging, with a strong emphasis on high-performance computing (HPC) to support AI applications. This includes emerging technologies such as the projected upcoming transition from HBM3e to HBM4 devices next year, as well as the next generation of CoWoS and CoWoS-like solutions. These innovations are expected to create increased demand for new tools with enhanced technical capabilities."

Continued Mr. Amit, "We are well-positioned competitively, strengthened by the successful launch of two new models: the Eagle G5 and the Hawk. Both systems support the new and latest packaging technologies and have been very well received by our customers, who value their advanced performance and versatility."

Mr. Amit concluded, "Regarding the geopolitical landscape and tariff uncertainty, we have not experienced any material impact on our business in terms of delays or order cancellations. With our manufacturing operations located in Israel and Europe, and the majority of our sales concentrated in Asia, we expect our exposure to tariffs to be immaterial."
