ROSH-HA`AYIN, Israel, Nov. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kornit Digital Ltd. (NASDAQ:KRNT), a leading provider of digital printing solutions for the global printed textile industry, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Third quarter GAAP revenues which are net of the fair value of the warrants associated with revenues recognized from Amazon in the period were $28.5 million, compared to the prior year period of $30.9 million. On a non-GAAP basis, Kornit reported sales of $28.6 million, down from the prior year level of $30.9 million. Lower revenues were driven by a previously disclosed large customer who was unable to take scheduled delivery of a large number of systems due to unforeseen protracted delays in the receipt of regulatory permits. Excluding this customer issue, the Company continued to realize growth in sales of systems, ink and consumables and services.

Gabi Seligsohn, Kornit Digital’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “As mentioned during our pre-announcement call at the end of September, our financial results during the quarter were strongly impacted by a customer delay. While our near term business is impacted by this postponed customer order and slower than expected ramp up in Vulcan revenues, we see the concept of proximity decoration gaining momentum, and driving demand in the apparel industry for direct-to-garment systems which should lead to significant growth in 2018.”

During the third quarter, Kornit attended several events, including SGIA in New Orleans where the Company showcased its latest technology and introduced neon ink printing on its Allegro roll-to-roll printer, which enables new and creative applications for customers and was well received by event participants. Seligsohn added, “During this important event we noted a strong uptick in interest from screen printers, which is a direct response to their customers demanding smaller batch manufacturing requiring digital capabilities. This is encouraging to the long-term adoption rate of our highest throughput systems, such as the Vulcan and Avalanche.”

Third Quarter Results of Operations
Third quarter GAAP sales which are net of the fair value of the warrants associated with revenues recognized from Amazon during the period was $28.5 million, down from the prior year level of $30.9 million. On a non-GAAP basis, Kornit reported sales of $28.6 million, down from the prior year level of $30.9 million.

GAAP third quarter gross profit increased by 7.2% to $14.6 million, or 51.3% of sales, compared with $13.6 million, or 44.1% of sales, in the prior year. GAAP gross margin was 51.3%, compared with 44.1% in the third quarter of 2016. Higher gross margin was driven by mix shift weighted towards ink and consumables, as a result of customer shipment delays during the period. Non-GAAP gross profit in the third quarter was $15 million, or 52.3% of sales, compared with $15.2 million, or 49.2% of sales in the prior year.

GAAP total operating expenses in the third quarter were $14.8 million, or 52% of sales, compared to $13.0 million, or 41.9% of sales, in the prior year period. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of sales was consistent with the Kornit's previously communicated plans to continue to invest in its global infrastructure buildout. Non-GAAP operating expenses in the third quarter increased to $13.2 million, or 46.2% of sales, compared to $11.4 million, or 36.7% of sales in the prior year.

Third quarter GAAP research and development expenses were $5.9 million, or 20.5% of sales, compared to the prior year period of $4.4 million, or 14.2% of sales. Third quarter non-GAAP research and development expenses were $5.6 million, or 19.5% of sales, compared to $4.4 million, or 14.2% of sales in the prior year.  

Third quarter GAAP selling and marketing expenses were $5.3 million, or 18.6% of sales compared to the prior year period of $4.8 million, or 15.6% of sales. Third quarter non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses were $4.8 million, or 16.7% of sales, compared to $4.6 million, or 14.8% of sales in the prior year. 

Third quarter GAAP general and administrative expenses were $3.4 million, or 12% of sales, compared to the prior year period of $3.8 million, or 12.1% of sales. Third quarter non-GAAP general and administrative expenses were $2.9 million, or 10.1% of sales, compared to $2.4 million, or 7.8% of sales in the prior year.

On a GAAP basis, third quarter operating loss was $0.2 million, or (0.7%) of sales, compared to the prior year period profit of $0.7 million, or 2.1% of sales. Non-GAAP operating profit in the third quarter decreased to $1.7 million, compared to $3.9 million in the prior year. As a percent of sales, non-GAAP operating margin for the third quarter was 6.1% of sales, compared with 12.5% of sales in the prior year.  

On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $(0.1) million, or $(0.00) per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2016.  Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2017 was $1.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $3.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Non-GAAP Discussion Disclosure
Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude impact of the fair value of warrants deducted from revenues, acquisition related expenses, share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Furthermore, the non-GAAP measures are regularly used internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions, and we believe that they are useful to investors as a consistent and comparable measure of the ongoing performance of our business. However, our 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 our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  The Company has not reconciled its non-GAAP guidance to the nearest equivalent GAAP measure. Such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort because the fair value of the warrants which is a key element of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures is impacted by the Company’s share price, which is information the Company cannot predict.
