Rosh-Ha`Ayin, Israel – February 14, 2017 – Kornit Digital Ltd. (NASDAQ:KRNT), a leading provider of digital printing solutions for the global printed textile industry, today reported results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

 

GAAP Sales for the fourth quarter of 2016, which are net of the fair value of the warrants associated with revenues recognized from Amazon, were $32.0 million. Non-GAAP sales were $34.0 million, an increase of 33.4% over the prior-year of $25.5 million. Higher sales were attributable to growth in volume of sales across all of the Company’s products, including systems, ink and consumables as well as services.

 

GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2016 was $820 thousand, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $2.1 million, in the fourth quarter of 2015. On a non-GAAP basis net income was $5.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to prior-year non-GAAP net income of $3.2 million.

 

Gabi Seligsohn, Kornit Digital’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “We are proud to deliver a record breaking fourth quarter on many measures, including revenue and profitability. We achieved this performance on broad product growth with deliveries to multiple new and existing customers, underscoring our momentum in the printed textile market.” Seligsohn continued, “New platforms including the Allegro and Vulcan are gaining traction, which helped us deliver on our commitments for 2016, and set the stage for continued growth in the year ahead.”

 

 

Key Business Achievements

 

The company achieved several meaningful milestones during 2016 and in the start of 2017, including:

 

●

Successfully closed a follow on and secondary public offering on January 31, 2017, which raised a total of $37.9 million gross proceeds for the Company and a total of $104.4 million, gross proceeds, for selling shareholders. Mr. Seligsohn added, "We are honored by the tremendous support we received from the investment community, and thankful for the vote of confidence that our existing investors and new stakeholders put in our team.”

 

●

Signed an agreement with Amazon to deliver the Company’s flagship high- throughput system, the Avalanche 1000, to support Amazon’s expansion of production capacity for the Merch by Amazon service. This multi-year agreement includes the delivery of systems, ink and consumables, and software and services support. It also grants Amazon warrants to acquire up to 2.9 million shares of Kornit at a price of $13.03 per share (representing the 30 day VWAP at the time the agreement was announced), as a function of Amazon spending up to $150 million dollars on Kornit products and services over a 5-year period.

 

●

Received multiple new orders for the Allegro Roll-to-Roll printer in the fourth quarter. The latest additions to the global installed base of Allegro systems will now serve more than 20 customer sites, ranging from North America, Central Europe, Latin America, Turkey and South East Asia.

 

●

Shipped the fourth Vulcan system, and recognized revenue from sales of a first system, marking a significant milestone in Kornit’s most sophisticated and capable system to date.

 

●

Acquired the digital direct to garment printing assets of one of our U.S. distributors. This strategic move will help improve customer intimacy by expanding our leadership position in the digital textile market with larger accounts as well as provide direct access to a large number of traditional screen printing customers, some of which may transition wholly or in part to digital printing over the next several years.

 

●

Recognized initial revenue for system upgrades in the fourth quarter; expecting upgrades to become a more meaningful part of our services business starting 2017.

On a non-GAAP basis, Kornit reported sales of $34.0 million, an increase of 33.4% compared with the prior-year level of $25.5 million.
