Camtek reported record Q1 2025 revenues of $119M, up over 20% year-over-year, with gross margin rising to over 52% and operating income increasing nearly 30% to $37M; net income was $38.7M or $0.79 per diluted share.
Revenue distribution in Q1 was 45-50% from high performance computing (HPC) applications, about 20% from other advanced packaging, and the remainder from CMOS image sensor, compound semiconductor, front-end, and general 2D applications; over 35 customers purchased systems in the quarter.
Guidance for Q2 2025 is revenue of $120M-$123M, representing approximately 18% year-over-year growth; a healthy backlog is expected to support a solid Q3 as well.
Camtek highlighted strong momentum in advanced packaging, especially in HPC and AI-related applications, with new products (Eagle G5 and Hawk) expected to contribute significant revenue this year; gross margin is expected to remain in the 51-52% range, with further improvement anticipated next year as new products ramp.
Management noted no material impact from tariffs or geopolitical issues, continued strong business in China, and reiterated confidence in surpassing the $500M annual revenue milestone in the near future, driven by organic growth and potential acquisitions.
