ROSH-HA`AYIN, Israel, May 03, 2016 (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 first quarter 2016.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2016 were $21.8 million, a 24.0% increase over the prior year period of $17.6 million.  Higher sales were attributable to wide spread growth across the Company’s products.

Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2016 was $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to prior-year net income of $0.9 million. On a GAAP basis, the Company reported net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million, in the first quarter of 2015.

Gabi Seligsohn, Kornit Digital’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In the first quarter of 2016 we continued to show strong revenue growth of 24.0% year over year, which, despite being our seasonally weakest quarter, showed continued momentum across our product categories. We believe we are firmly positioned for future growth, and expect a particularly strong second half driven by new system offerings and supported by large accounts with multi-system delivery plans.”

Seligsohn continued, “In the first quarter, we were very pleased with the customer response to our new Storm Hexa platform which was introduced at Fespa. Customers were especially enthusiastic about the significant improvements offered in the areas of cost per print, print quality and throughput. As the year progresses, we will be adding a number of new products focused on these three attributes. Overall, I am excited and encouraged about the growth we have seen, which we anticipate will continue throughout 2016.”

First Quarter 2016 Results of Operations
In the first quarter of 2016, Kornit reported revenues of $21.8 million, an increase of 24.0% compared with the prior-year level of $17.6 million. Higher sales were the result of higher volume of systems sold and ink.

Non-GAAP gross profit in the first quarter was $10.6 million, or 48.7% of sales, compared with $8.0 million, or 45.7% of sales in the prior-year. On a GAAP basis, first quarter gross profit was $10.5 million, compared with $7.9 million, in the prior-year. Higher gross margins primarily reflected a favorable sales mix of high throughput systems, and an increased contribution from ink and consumables during the current period.

Non-GAAP operating expenses in the first quarter increased to $9.9 million, or 45.6% of sales, compared to $6.7 million, or 37.9% of sales in the prior year. On a GAAP basis, total operating expenses in the first quarter were $10.6 million, compared to $7.7 million in the prior period. The increase in total operating expenses was consistent with the investment strategy previously discussed, as Kornit continues to execute its global infrastructure build out.

First quarter non-GAAP research and development expenses were $3.6 million, or 16.6% of sales, compared to $2.7 million, or 15.5% of sales in the prior-year. First quarter GAAP research and development expenses were $3.7 million, compared to the prior-year period of $2.9 million.

Non-GAAP operating income in the first quarter decreased to $0.7 million, compared to $1.4 million in the prior year. As a percent of sales, Non-GAAP operating margin for the first quarter was 3.1% of sales, compared with 7.9% of sales in the prior year.  On a GAAP basis, first quarter operating loss was $0.2 million, compared to the prior year period profit of $0.3 million. 

Non-GAAP net earnings for the first quarter of 2016 were $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $0.9 million in the prior year period.  On a GAAP basis, the Company reported net loss of $0.2 million, or net loss of $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million, in the first quarter of 2015.
