KRNT Kornit Digital Ltd

Highlights

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 ended June 30, 2017.

Kornit reported non-GAAP net income of $3.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in 2016. Higher profitability on a non-GAAP basis was the result of 25.3% revenue growth year-over-year, improved gross margin, and improved operating cost efficiencies which were reflected in lower operating expenses as a percentage of sales based on higher revenue levels. 

During the quarter Kornit participated in several industry trade shows, most notably FESPA Hamburg, where Kornit showcased its various products and closed several deals in both DTG and roll-to-roll, leading to an excellent outcome for the EMEA region during the second quarter.   

Gabi Seligsohn, Kornit Digital’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “The printed textile market continues to evolve, demanding faster turnaround times and greater optionality. This trend has continued to drive demand for our industrial systems, while high customer utilization rates expand the usage for our inks and consumables. Our strong first half results with 27% non-GAAP revenue growth reflect the market success of our products that support this ongoing evolution in the supply chain.”

Seligsohn added, “We also recognized substantial operating leverage in the second quarter as our global infrastructure investments are now running below the pace of revenue growth. This led to a 500 basis point expansion in our non-GAAP operating margin which combined with our revenue growth, nearly tripled our non-GAAP operating profit compared to the second quarter of 2016.”

Second Quarter Results of Operations Second quarter GAAP sales for the period which are net of the fair value of the warrants associated with revenues recognized from Amazon were $28.6 million. On a non-GAAP basis, Kornit reported sales of $30.0 million, an increase of 25.3% compared with the prior-year level of $24.0 million. Higher revenues were attributable to an increase across all revenue sources, most notably services which included an increase in system upgrades.

GAAP second quarter gross profit increased 12.6% to $13.2 million, compared with $11.7 million, in the prior-year. Non-GAAP gross profit in the second quarter was $14.7 million, or 49.1% of sales, compared with $11.9 million, or 49.5% of sales in the prior-year.

GAAP operating expenses in the second quarter were $13.2 million, compared to $11.6 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP operating expenses in the second quarter increased to $12.0 million, or 40.0% of sales, compared to $10.9 million, or 45.4% of sales in the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of sales was consistent with the Company’s previously communicated plans to continue to invest in its global infrastructure buildout, but at a rate slower than revenue growth.  

Second quarter non-GAAP research and development expenses were $4.4 million, or 14.6% of sales, compared to $4.0 million, or 16.8% of sales in the prior-year.  Second quarter GAAP research and development expenses were $4.6 million, compared to the prior-year period of $4.1 million.

Second quarter non-GAAP selling and marketing expenses were $4.8 million, or 16.0% of sales, compared to $4.1 million, or 17.3% of sales in the prior-year.  Second quarter GAAP selling and marketing expenses were $5.3 million, compared to the prior-year period of $4.3 million.

Second quarter non-GAAP general and administrative expenses were $2.8 million, or 9.4% of sales, compared to $2.7 million, or 11.4% of sales in the prior-year. Second quarter GAAP general and administrative expenses were $3.3 million, compared to the prior-year period of $3.1 million.

Non-GAAP operating profit in the second quarter increased to $2.7 million, compared to $1.0 million in the prior year. As a percent of sales, adjusted operating margin for the second quarter was 9.2% of sales, compared with 4.0% of sales in the prior year.  On a GAAP basis, second quarter operating loss was $0.1 million, compared to the prior year period profit of $0.1 million.    

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $3.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $0.7 million in the prior year period.  On a GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.1 million, in the second quarter of 2016.  

Balance Sheet and Cash FlowAt June 30, 2017, the Company had cash and marketable securities of $89.3 million, and no long-term debt. Cash flow used in operations for the second quarter of 2017 was $(5.7) million, attributable mostly to the increase in accounts receivable and inventory.

Non-GAAP Discussion Disclosure

Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude the impact of the fair value of warrants deducted from revenues, acquisition related expenses, share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and restructuring expenses. 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. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
