ROSH-HA`AYIN, Israel, Nov. 12, 2018 (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, 2018.

Beginning as of the fourth-quarter of 2017, non-GAAP figures are presented using a different methodology compared to previous periods as a result of comments received from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These changes also impact the Company's guidance methodology, the details of which can be found at the end of today's press release.

Kornit reported that third quarter 2018 revenue increased by 32.1% to $37.6 million, net of $1.7 million attributed to the non-cash impact of warrants, compared to the prior year period of $28.4 million, net of $0.1 million attributed to the non-cash impact of warrants. Higher revenue in the quarter was attributable to widespread growth across geographies and customers, and the delivery of systems on a large customer program.

GAAP operating income increased to $3.1 million, compared to the prior-year period operating loss of $0.2 million. Non-GAAP operating income increased by 208.4% to $4.9 million, or 13.0% of revenue, compared to the prior year period of $1.6 million, or 5.6% of revenue. Increased operating income was the result of increased revenue and higher operating leverage, partially offset by an unfavorable product mix, as more systems were sold during the period.

Ronen Samuel, Kornit Digital’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to report strong third quarter results, with sales increasing by more than 30% compared to last year quarter as the market success of our leading industrial DTG systems continues to modernize the retail supply chain. Our sales are accelerating as our customers respond to dynamic challenges to reduce printed apparel run length and lead times while minimizing inventory risk. We firmly believe that Kornit is uniquely positioned to address these evolving priorities with the right technology that delivers superior print quality and hand-feel to end consumers.

“Our latest-generation HD products are receiving unprecedented market success, with more than 200 orders of systems and upgrades to date. The success of the HD leads another wave of Kornit innovation, as we are progressing well with customer beta testing of a new mass production system slated for broader availability in 2019, and the launch of our dark poly solution that was announced during our recent investor day. These technological enhancements add to our recent momentum and present a clear path to achieving our long-term goals.”

Non-GAAP Discussion Disclosure
Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and restructuring expenses and their tax effect. The purpose of such adjustments is to provide 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.
