Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is not significant as we
have no outstanding loans; see Item 5.B – “Liquidity and Capital Resources”
above.
Foreign Currency Rate Fluctuations Camtek finance
to review
We are a global company that operates in a multi-currency environment.
In recent months, foreign currency exchange rates have been subject to considerable fluctuations. As a major portion of the costs of our
Israeli operations, such as personnel, subcontractors, materials and facility‑related costs, are incurred in NIS, an increase in
the NIS value relative to the U.S. Dollar will increase our costs expressed in U.S. Dollars, and a decrease in the NIS value relative
to the U.S. Dollar will decrease our costs expressed in U.S. Dollars. During 2025, the value of the U.S. Dollar weakened against the NIS
by 13%. We may, from time to time, take various measures designed to reduce our exposure to these effects, but any such steps may be inadequate
to protect us from currency rate fluctuations. We had no open hedging transactions as of December 31, 2025.

In our consolidated financial statements, transactions and balances
originally denominated in U.S. Dollars are presented at their original amounts. Gains and losses arising from non-dollar transactions
and balances are included in net income as part of financial expenses, net.
Our balance sheet exposures to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S.
Dollar and other currencies are primarily from NIS denominated balances. As of December 31, 2025, we had net liabilities of approximately
$14.7 million, denominated in NIS. Any fluctuation in the exchange rate between the NIS and the U.S. dollar of 1% will cause us expenses
or income of $147 thousand, in case of increase or decrease in rates, respectively.
In addition, although our products’ prices in most countries
are denominated in U.S. Dollars, in certain territories (currently, Europe and Japan) our products’ prices are denominated in local
currencies, and much of our service income in additional territories is denominated in local currencies. If there is a significant devaluation
in the relevant local currencies in which we operate compared to the U.S. Dollar, those prices of our products or services that are denominated
in local currency in the relevant territories will increase relative to that local currency and may be less competitive.
