ROSH-HA'AYIN, Israel, May 13, 2019 (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 ended March 31, 2019.

First quarter 2019 revenue increased 22.6% to $38.2 million, net of $1.0 million attributed to the non-cash impact of warrants, compared to $31.1 million, net of $42 thousand attributed to the non-cash impact of warrants, in the prior year period. Increased revenues in the quarter were attributable to widespread growth of system sales across geographies, particularly in the Asia Pacific region.

On a GAAP basis, first quarter operating loss was $1.5 million, compared to the prior-year period operating profit of $0.1 million. Non-GAAP operating income was $1.6 million net of $1.0 million attributed to the non-cash impact of warrants, or 4.2% of revenue, net of 242 basis points attributed to the non-cash impact of warrants, compared to $1.7 million, or 5.5% of revenue, in the prior year period. Lower operating margin was the result of a higher impact from warrants during the period and the shift in revenue mix derived by record quarterly revenues from system and service and the one-time impact of approximately $2 million distribution replenishment ink revenues due to completion timing of the transition to a direct business model in North America.

Ronen Samuel, Kornit Digital’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We kicked off 2019 with an excellent start. We delivered a record quarter of revenues from the sale of systems and service and an overall 22.6% revenue growth despite a one-time effect of approximately $2 million on our ink revenues derived from the timing of our transition to a fully direct business model in North America, and a greater impact from the warrants resulting from a higher share price.

"This quarter, we experienced continued business momentum with our HD platforms and the roll-out of our odorless Eco Rapid consumables. We had an exceptionally strong start with our new product introductions with a double-digit number of customers placing orders for our newly launched Atlas and a strong and growing pipeline as it relates to the Poly Pro and Presto. We expect that these new products will have a material contribution to our revenues as early as Q2-2019.”

Samuel added, “We continue to make good progress with our business plan as it relates to expanding our Go-To-Market and services. This quarter, we successfully completed the business model transition in North America, continued our strong business momentum in EMEA and executed on another strong quarter in Asia Pacific with record quarterly revenues, following our focus in scaling and improving our performance in that region. I am very satisfied with the solid execution our global teams continue to deliver as we scale up our go-to-market. We are on track with our internal growth plans and excited to continue driving the business forward. I would like to thank all our devoted employees globally on their hard work, commitment and their ongoing focus on our customers success.”

First Quarter 2019 Results of Operations

Non-GAAP gross profit in the first quarter was $17.1 million, or 44.9% of revenue, compared with $15.6 million, or 50.0% of revenue in the first quarter of 2018. The lower gross margin was primarily due to the one-time shift in product mix which was favorable in System & Service revenues and 139 basis points attributed to the non-cash impact of warrants.

On a GAAP basis, total operating expenses in the first quarter were $16.8 million, compared to $15.3 million in the prior-year period.

On a GAAP basis, first-quarter operating loss was $1.5 million, compared to operating profit of $0.1 million during the prior-year period. Non-GAAP operating income in the first quarter was $1.6 million, compared to $1.7 million in the prior-year period. As a percent of revenue, Non-GAAP operating margin for the first quarter was 4.2% of revenue, compared with 5.5% of revenue in the first quarter of 2018.

In the first quarter, the Company recorded an additional $0.2 million tax income that increased the deferred tax asset initially formed last quarter that affected GAAP net income.

On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2019 was $1.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, net of $0.03 per diluted share attributed to the non-cash impact of warrants, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, net of $0.0 per diluted share attributed to the non-cash impact of warrants in the prior year period.
