ROSH-HA'AYIN, Israel, Nov. 3, 2015 (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, 2015.

Sales for the third quarter of 2015 increased 20.0% year-over-year to $22.2 million, as a result of incremental revenue associated with the new Allegro roll-to-roll system, combined with continued growth in direct-to-garment (DTG) systems and ink.

Non-GAAP net income in the third quarter of 2015 was $2.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to prior-year net income of $3.5 million. On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a net income of $2.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $3.2 million, in the third quarter of 2014.

Gabi Seligsohn, Kornit Digital's Chief Executive Officer commented, "During the third quarter, we continued to deepen our customer relationships and generate strong interest for our disruptive solutions, particularly of our recently introduced high throughput systems. To that point, throughout the quarter we hosted multiple demonstrations for our newly introduced Allegro and pre-beta Vulcan systems, which generated strong customer interest. For the Allegro, several customer interactions have led to system orders which will be installed during the fourth quarter. For Vulcan, we successfully executed on multiple pre-beta customer demos, all of which have led to firm demand for systems by those customers."

Seligsohn continued, "We are pleased with the growth in our business through the first nine-months of 29% vs. the same period last year, although third quarter growth came in at the lower end of our guided range due to the timing of system volume. As we have seen in the past, quarter-to-quarter growth is not linear at this stage in our evolution. Looking to the balance of the year, we anticipate revenue from our recently introduced high throughput systems and volume from several new customers to provide a tailwind as we close out 2015."

Results of Operations

In the third quarter of 2015, Kornit reported sales of $22.2 million, an increase of 20.0% compared with the prior-year level of $18.5 million. Higher sales were the result of contributions from all product categories including systems, ink and consumables, and services.

Non-GAAP gross margin as a percentage of sales in the third quarter of 2015 was 48.3%, compared with 50.6% in the prior-year period. Lower gross margin compared to the prior year resulted from two large customer orders of multiple high-end systems in the third quarter of 2014, which provided a favorable margin rate during the period. Excluding the impact of these orders, our gross margin run rate continued to expand as a result of the ongoing mix shift to higher throughput systems, incremental ink sales, and a stronger contribution from services. On a GAAP basis, gross margin was $10.6 million, or 47.6% of sales.

Non-GAAP operating expenses in the third quarter increased to $7.7 million, compared to $5.6 million in the prior year. The increase in total operating expenses is consistent with the previously stated growth strategy, as the Company continues to execute to its global infrastructure build out. As a percent of sales, non-GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter were 34.8% of sales, an increase from 30.4% of sales in the prior year. On a GAAP basis, operating expenses were $8.4 million, or 37.7% during the quarter.

Non-GAAP research and development expenses were $2.9 million, compared to $2.2 million in the prior-year. On a GAAP basis, research and development expenses were $3.1 million, or 13.8% of sales during the quarter.

Non-GAAP operating profit in the third quarter declined to $3.0 million, compared to $3.7 million in the prior year. As a percent of sales, non-GAAP operating profit for the third quarter was 13.5% of sales, a decrease from 20.2% of sales in the prior year.

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2015 were $2.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with Non-GAAP net income of $3.5 million, or $0.31 in the prior year period.

On a GAAP basis, the Company reported net earnings of $2.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $3.2 million, or $0.3 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2014.

Non-GAAP Discussion Disclosure

Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude acquisition related expenses, share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and compensation related to the IPO. 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.
