ROSH-HA'AYIN, Israel, Nov. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kornit Digital Ltd. (“Kornit” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: KRNT), a worldwide market leader in sustainable, on-demand, digital fashionX and textile production technologies, reported today its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“We delivered third quarter revenues within our guidance range, despite a challenging macroeconomic environment. Our consumables sales grew year-over-year, while system sales improved sequentially as we continued to convert orders from ITMA,” said Ronen Samuel, Kornit’s Chief Executive Officer. “We also saw further growth in our direct-to-fabric solutions, resulting in one of the strongest quarters for Presto system sales. Interest in our Atlas MAX Poly system has also been robust, especially in the sports and athleisure market."

"During the quarter, we successfully installed our initial Apollo beta systems, which have received highly encouraging feedback and demonstrated solid uptime, yield, and unit economics. We continue to target general availability for Apollo in the first quarter of 2024 and are building a strong pipeline of both existing and new customers,” Mr. Samuel concluded, “Looking ahead, we are taking proactive measures to further diversify our customer base, expand into key textile-producing regions, and resume overall sales growth, while also focusing on enhancing operating efficiencies across the entire company. Our plan includes approaching breakeven on an adjusted EBITDA basis during the fourth quarter and achieving profitable growth for the full year in 2024.”

Non-GAAP Discussion Disclosure

The Company presents certain non-GAAP financial measures, in this press release and in the accompanying conference call to discuss the Company’s quarterly results. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments to corresponding GAAP financial measures in order to exclude the impact of the following: share-based compensation expenses; amortization of intangible assets; acquisition related expenses; restructuring expenses; foreign exchange differences associated with ASC 842; and non-cash deferred tax income.

The Company defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as non-GAAP operating income (loss), which reflects the adjustments described in the preceding paragraph, as further adjusted to exclude depreciation expense.

The purpose of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures is to convey the Company’s performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of the Company’s 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 the Company’s business and make operating decisions, and the Company believes that they are useful to investors as a consistent and comparable measure of the ongoing performance of the Company’s business. The Company’s 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 the Company’s 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.

The reconciliation tables included below present a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
