YAVNE, ISRAEL — February 16, 2011 — ORBOTECH LTD. (NASDAQ/GSM SYMBOL: ORBK) today announced its consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010 and is reiterating its guidance for 2011 and providing revenue guidance for the first half of 2011.

Commenting on the results, Rani Cohen, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are very pleased with the Company’s strong results for the year, posting record annual revenues, strong cash flow and net income and expanding our footprint with customers. During the year we increased our investments in the research and development of new products, including inspection and production solutions for both PCB and FPD manufacturers and a new product for the solar energy industry. Orbotech is entering 2011 with an outstanding product portfolio in all areas of our business and very solid orders for each of our leading products. We believe we are well positioned to take advantage of the strong growth in the consumer demand for sophisticated devices such as smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices, in the manufacture of which our equipment is essential. This should enable us to maintain our position as a leading provider of yield-enhancing and production solutions for the industries we serve.”

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $128.4 million, compared to $156.1 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $96.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $4.0 million, or $0.11 per share (diluted), compared to GAAP net income of $16.1 million, or $0.45 per share (diluted) for the third quarter of 2010 and a GAAP net loss of $5.4 million, or $0.15 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2009. GAAP net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $6.0 million, or $0.17 per share (diluted), compared to GAAP net income from continuing operations of $19.3 million, or $0.54 per share (diluted) for the third quarter of 2010 and a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $4.6 million, or $0.13 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 totaled $529.4 million, compared to $359.3 million in 2009. GAAP net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $34.1 million, or $0.95 per share (diluted), compared to a GAAP net loss of $19.9 million, or $0.58 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2009. GAAP net income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $42.9 million, or $1.20 per share (diluted), compared to a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $16.0 million, or $0.46 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $10.7 million, or $0.30 per share (diluted), compared to non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $1.9 million, or $0.05 per share (diluted), in the fourth quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $61.8 million, or $1.73 per share (diluted), compared to non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $7.0 million, or $0.20 per share (diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2009.

In the printed circuit board (“PCB”) industry, continuing strong demand for sophisticated consumer end products, primarily tablets, smartphones and other electronic devices, has led to a shortage in high-end PCBs. This has resulted in better-than-expected orders in the fourth quarter for the Company’s PCB inspection and production solutions, in particular the Company’s laser direct imaging tools which have become an essential solution in high-end PCB manufacturing. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company introduced and made initial deliveries of its Fusion Series AOI systems. These systems offer significantly improved defect detection over other models, while dramatically reducing false alarm rates. Acceptances were received during the fourth quarter and initial revenues were recorded.

The Company’s flat panel display (“FPD”) business had record revenues for the year. The FPD industry, which during the latter part of 2010 experienced lower capacity utilization rates than had been prevalent in the earlier part of the year, recently began to recover and certain FPD manufacturers have announced plans to invest in new FPD facilities, mainly in China, to support the expected growth in demand for LCD televisions. Additionally, FPD manufacturers are also investing in upgrades of existing facilities to accommodate new and advanced technologies used in the manufacturing of displays for advanced mobile devices. During the fourth quarter, the Company continued to make deliveries of its high performance EVision AOI system for Generation 7.5 to Generation 8.5 substrates and expects to record initial revenues from these systems in the first half of 2011.

The Company is reiterating its previously announced revenue and GAAP net margin guidance for 2011 of approximately $560 million and 10%, respectively; and is providing non-GAAP net margin guidance for 2011 of 12.5% of revenues. Business conditions remain strong and there is a fundamental shift in technology complexity driven primarily by the proliferation of high-end mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. These trends are reflected in a significant increase in orders for the Company’s laser direct imaging systems with anticipated delivery in the first half of 2011. As a result, the Company expects that revenues in the first half of 2011 will be in the range of $280 - $300 million. However, due to uncertainty about the timing of customer product acceptance of its FPD EVision AOI systems and delivery schedules with respect to our laser direct imaging systems, the Company is not in a position to provide more detailed quarterly guidance, but believes its revenues will be weighted more towards the second quarter.

Sales of equipment to the PCB industry were $50.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $42.4 million in the third quarter of 2010, and $26.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Sales of equipment to the FPD industry were $42.7 million, compared to $80.5 million in the third quarter of 2010, and $40.5 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Sales of character recognition products were $2.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2010, and $2.0 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2009. In addition, service revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $33.1 million, compared to $31.1 million in the third quarter of 2010, and $28.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

The Company completed the quarter with cash, cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and marketable securities of approximately $184.8 million and debt of $128 million, compared with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $175.8 million and debt of $136 million at the end of the third quarter of 2010. The Company generated cash of $58.1 million from continuing operations in the full year.

In October 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with General Electric Company (“GE”) pursuant to which its subsidiary, General Electric Medical Systems Israel Ltd. acquired the assets of Orbotech Medical Solutions Ltd. (“OMS”) for approximately $9 million in cash at closing and up to an additional $5 million in cash, subject to the achievement of certain agreed performance-based milestones. The transaction, which closed on February 10, 2011, also provided for the release of the Company and GE regarding all outstanding disputes between them. In a judgment rendered on February 14, 2011, the court approved the settlement agreement between the parties and dismissed the litigation with prejudice. In addition, as of December 31, 2010, the Company had committed to a plan to divest itself of Orbotech Medical Denmark A/S (“OMD”), although the timing and terms of any such divestiture are subject to market and other conditions. As a result, OMS as well as OMD have been classified as discontinued operations and certain financial data for 2010 and previous fiscal years provided in the financial information disclosed herein have been recast to present OMS and OMD as discontinued operations. The sale of OMS and OMD are not expected to impact the Company’s cash flow from operating activities in any material respect.

Erez Simha, our Chief Financial Officer, has decided to leave Orbotech to pursue other business opportunities, but will remain at Orbotech for an interim period to facilitate an orderly transition. We have a strong financial management team, headed by our Chief Operating Officer, Amichai Steimberg, which will fulfill this role while we actively look for a successor. Mr. Steimberg served as Chief Financial Officer of the Company from 2000 to 2009.

An earnings conference call for the Company’s fourth quarter and full year 2010 results is scheduled for Wednesday, February 16, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. EST. The dial-in number for the conference call is 212-287-1850, and a replay will be available on telephone number 203-369-3227 until March 9, 2011. The pass code is Q4.

Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations and non-GAAP net income from continuing operations per share detailed in the Reconciliation exclude charges, income or losses, as applicable, related to one or more of the following: (i) equity-based compensation expenses; (ii) certain items associated with acquisitions, including amortization and impairment of intangibles; (iii) our discontinued operations and/or (iv) a gain representing additional consideration from the sale of Salvador Imaging, Inc. which was owned by Photon Dynamics Inc. (“PDI”) at the time of the PDI acquisition in 2008. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance in light of business objectives and for planning purposes. These measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Orbotech believes that these measures enhance investors’ ability to review the Company’s business from the same perspective as the Company’s management and facilitate comparisons with results for prior periods. The presentation of this additional non-GAAP information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Orbotech Ltd. or earnings (loss) per share prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP measures, the reasons why management uses these measures, the usefulness of these measures and the material limitations on the usefulness of these measures please see the Reconciliation.

To supplement the Company’s financial results presented on a GAAP basis, the Company uses the non-GAAP measures indicated in the Reconciliation, which exclude equity based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, in-process research and development charges and impairment and restructuring charges, as well as certain financial expenses and non-recurring income items that are believed to be helpful in understanding and comparing past operating and financial performance with current results. However, the non-GAAP measures presented are subject to limitations as an analytical tool because they do not include certain recurring items as described below and because they do not reflect certain cash expenditures that are required to operate the Company’s business, such as interest expense and taxes. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management regularly utilizes supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the Company’s business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects.

The effect of equity-based compensation expenses has been excluded from the non-GAAP measures. Although equity-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees, and the Company believes such compensation contributed to the revenues earned during the periods presented and also believes it will contribute to the generation of future period revenues, the Company continues to evaluate its business performance excluding equity based compensation expenses. Equity-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.

The effects of amortization of intangible assets have also been excluded from the measures. This item is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods and the Company may be required to record additional impairment charges in the future. The Company believes that it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on total operating expenses. For more information about these items, see the Reconciliation and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2009.
