Camtek delivered an outstanding quarter with $112.3M in revenue, marking a robust 40% YoY growth. The 26.4% GAAP operating margin and 30.6% non-GAAP operating margin demonstrate exceptional operational efficiency. The company's strong performance is particularly noteworthy in the semiconductor inspection equipment sector, driven by High Performance Computing demand.

The $35.8M operating cash flow indicates excellent cash conversion and healthy working capital management. Looking ahead, Q4 guidance of $115M suggests continued momentum with 30% YoY growth. The expansion in operating margins, coupled with strong cash generation, positions Camtek well for sustained growth in the semiconductor equipment market.

The surge in High Performance Computing (HPC) applications is driving Camtek's growth, reflecting the broader industry trend toward advanced computing solutions. The company's inspection equipment plays a important role in ensuring quality control for sophisticated semiconductor manufacturing processes. The strong results indicate Camtek is successfully capitalizing on the AI and data center infrastructure buildout, which requires increasingly complex and precise inspection solutions.

Management Comment

Rafi Amit, Camtek's CEO commented, "I am very pleased with the results of the third quarter and especially happy with the positive response to the introduction of our new product in September, the Eagle G5, as reflected by the $20 million orders announced last week. We recently introduced to certain key customers an additional new and advanced platform for the next generation of Advanced Packaging for which we have already received initial orders.

"Looking ahead, the demand in the HPC segment remains healthy. We expect the overall contribution of HPC to our business this year to be around 50% and expect it to be a major growth driver in 2025 as well. We also see an increased demand for a wide range of other applications."

Continued Mr. Amit, "Based on our current order flow, backlog, and pipeline, our revenue guidance for the fourth quarter is around $115 million dollars. Given our guidance for the fourth quarter, 2024 is expected to be a record year for Camtek with revenue around $427 million, which would represent 35% growth YoY."
