A corporate reorganization was implemented during the quarter due to management's decision to increase its focus on its inspection and metrology in the semiconductor market and discontinuing its R&D efforts of the Sela Xact product line. As a result, in the fourth quarter there was a one-time negative impact on GAAP net income of approximately $1.5 million due to certain charges (partially offset by items of one time) income and income related to the re-organization. In addition, in the fourth quarter there was a positive impact on GAAP net income of $1.3 million as a result of a decrease in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets following the evaluation of the potential for realization of the assets based on projected future earnings. These amounts were included in the non-GAAP adjustment.

Results for the three-month period and full year ended December 31, 2013 on a non-GAAP basis, exclude the following items: (i) share based compensation expenses; (ii) write off of inventory and fixed-assets primarily related to the discontinued Sela product line; (iii) the impact of reorganization and impairment charges; and (iv) realization of deferred tax assets. A reconciliation between the GAAP and non-GAAP results appears in the tables at the end of this press release.

Rafi Amit, Camtek's Active Chairman, commented: "2013 ends a year of investment and promise. As we move into 2014, we are increasing our focus on the two key markets we operate in – that of semiconductor inspection and metrology, as well as PCB inspection and the 3D inkjet system."

"I am pleased to announce that the customer-site testing of our 3D inkjet system started and is being operated in a production environment. We expect this phase to continue for a few months, and upon satisfactory results, commercial installations will begin during the second half of the year," continued Mr. Amit.

Concluded Mr. Amit: "Looking ahead, we see strength in the semiconductor industry and we expect to see growth in our inspection and metrology business in the coming quarters, predominantly related to advanced packaging applications. In terms of guidance for the first quarter of 2014, we expect revenues of between $21-23 million, representing midpoint year-over-year growth of above 20%."
