ROSH-HA'AYIN, Israel, Aug. 4, 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 second quarter and the six month period ended June 30, 2015.

Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2015 was $2.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share on sales of $21.3 million, compared to prior-year net income of $0.6 million, on sales of $15.7 million. On a GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.4 million, in the second quarter of 2014.

Sales in the quarter increased 35.1% to $21.3 million, as a result of continued growth in the direct-to-garment market (DTG), and some initial sales of Allegro roll-to-roll systems. Gabi Seligsohn, Kornit Digital's Chief Executive Officer commented, "During the second quarter we achieved two major product milestones. A major customer placed a third order for our roll-to-roll printer, the Allegro, after operating in full scale production for several months with two units. Allegro leverages our disruptive technology by utilizing Kornit's superior ink technology into a complete single-step print line, with an ability to print on almost any type of fabric. We also successfully launched the next generation of ink, the Neopigment Pure, with several key customers already transitioning production. These two milestones are a clear testament to how well our products are developed and brought to market."

Non-GAAP gross margin also improved to 47.6% in the second quarter, from 43.8% for the same period last year. Margin expansion primarily resulted from higher volume of ink and systems, and a continued shift to higher priced, high throughput systems. Second quarter Non-GAAP operating income increased to $2.7 million from $0.9 million in the prior-year, and represented a 740 basis point margin improvement to 12.9%. Higher operating margins resulted from an increase in gross margins, and a limited increase in payroll expenses as new hires were weighted to the end of the quarter.

Seligsohn continued, "By almost any measure we executed very well in the second quarter, as demonstrated by higher sales and expanding margins. Operationally we also caught up with our recruiting plans for the first half of the year. Looking forward and given the vast opportunities we face, we expect to continue to invest for future growth during the second half of the year by further increasing headcount and expanding our infrastructure. This investment will position the Company to execute on our aggressive product roadmap, and broaden our field presence to support an expanding customer base in current and new markets."

Results of Operations

In the second quarter of 2015, Kornit reported sales of $21.3 million, an increase of 35.1% compared with prior-year level of $15.7 million. Higher sales were the result of contributions from all of our products, including systems, ink and consumables, and services.

Non-GAAP gross margin as a percentage of sales in the second quarter of 2015 was 47.6%, compared to 43.8% in the prior-year period. Gross margin improvement was driven by a higher mix of higher margin high-throughput systems and an increase in sales of ink and consumables. On a GAAP basis, gross margin was $10 million, or 47.1% of sales.

Non-GAAP operating expenses in the second quarter increased to $7.4 million, compared to $6.0 million in the prior year quarter. As a percent of sales, adjusted operating expenses for the second quarter were 34.7% of sales, a decrease from 38.3% of sales in the prior year and indicative of leverage on higher sales, coupled with new hires weighted toward the end of the second quarter. On a GAAP basis, operating expenses were $8.9 million, or 42% during the quarter.

Non-GAAP research and development as a percentage of sales was 11.9%, or $2.5 million, compared to 15.5%, or $2.4 million in the prior-year. On a GAAP basis, research and development expenses were $2.7 million, or 12.5% of sales during the quarter.

Non-GAAP operating income in the second quarter increased to $2.7 million, compared to $0.9 million in the prior year quarter. As a percent of sales, Non-GAAP operating income for the second quarter was 12.9% of sales, an increase from 5.5% of sales in the prior year, leveraging the higher sales and gross profit.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $2.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with Non-GAAP net income of $0.6 million, or $0.06 in the prior year quarter period.

On a GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share in the second 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.
