ROSH-HA`AYIN, Israel, May 10, 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“Promising indicators emerged during the first quarter in certain parts of our business, despite the persistent macroeconomic pressures,” said Ronen Samuel, Kornit’s Chief Executive Officer. “These indicators included the double-digit year-over-year impressions growth from several of our larger direct-to-garment (DTG) strategic accounts in the customized design market, and the continued adoption of our MAX technology. While capacity utilization is still not optimal, we see immense opportunities unfolding with major demand generating platforms and expect this market to resume growth as overall macro conditions improve.”

Mr. Samuel continued, “With our MAX technology as the cornerstone, we’ve been steadily gaining momentum on our strategy in targeting brands, retailers, and their global fulfillers, all of whom will greatly benefit from Kornit’s sustainable on-demand digital solutions, instead of existing analog production. We had a strong quarter for Atlas MAX Poly, and continued to strengthen our market-leading position in direct-to-fabric (DTF) with Presto MAX. The progress made in the first quarter offers additional proof points that our MAX technology is becoming the industry standard and an excellent solution that offers top retail quality output, increased productivity, better cost efficiencies, and new product capabilities and offerings.”

Mr. Samuel concluded, “We are excited to attend the upcoming ITMA tradeshow in Milan, where we will demonstrate how digital production goes mainstream with sustainable on-demand manufacturing at scale. We will showcase a diverse range of new cutting-edge DTF and DTG solutions, including unveiling our highly anticipated Apollo, which will revolutionize markets traditionally served by analog. These new systems and solutions significantly extend the breadth of print applications and offer levels of automation never before seen in any of the markets we serve.”

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.
