Kornit Digital Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results

Rhea-AI Summary

Kornit Digital (NASDAQ: KRNT) reported Q2 2024 results with revenues of $48.6 million, in line with previous guidance. The company saw GAAP net loss of $4.9 million and non-GAAP net income of $1.1 million. Notably, Kornit generated positive cash flow from operations and experienced year-over-year growth in both impressions and consumables.

The company's All-Inclusive Click (AIC) program and Apollo system continue to gain traction, with multiple orders added to the backlog. Kornit is also piloting the AIC model on the Atlas MAX system for screen replacement customers. For Q3 2024, Kornit expects revenues between $48-52 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 1-6%.

Positive

• Generated positive cash flow from operations in Q2 2024
• Year-over-year growth in both impressions and consumables
• Non-GAAP net income of $1.1 million, compared to a loss in Q2 2023
• Improved GAAP gross profit margin to 45.8% from 33.3% year-over-year
• Reduced GAAP operating expenses by 16.7% compared to Q2 2023
• Multiple new orders for Apollo system, including four on the AIC model

Negative

• Total revenue decreased to $48.6 million from $56.2 million year-over-year
• GAAP net loss of $4.9 million in Q2 2024
• Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.6 million in Q2 2024

Financial Analyst

Kornit Digital's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture. While revenues of $48.6 million aligned with guidance, they decreased from $56.2 million in the prior year. However, the company showed improvement in profitability metrics. The non-GAAP gross profit margin increased to 48.6% from 36.1% and non-GAAP operating expenses decreased by 17.9%.

The shift to non-GAAP net income of $1.1 million from a loss of $7.4 million year-over-year is noteworthy. The adjusted EBITDA margin, while still negative at -3.4%, improved significantly from -19.1%. This suggests better cost management and operational efficiency.

The Q3 2024 guidance of $48-52 million in revenue and 1-6% adjusted EBITDA margin indicates cautious optimism. Investors should monitor the company's ability to capitalize on the shift to on-demand production in the fashion industry, particularly through its AIC program and Apollo system.

Market Research Analyst

Kornit's Q2 results reflect the ongoing transformation in the fashion industry towards on-demand production. The growth in impressions and consumables, despite muted system sales, indicates a shift in customer behavior. This suggests that existing clients are increasing utilization of their current Kornit systems rather than investing in new ones.

The pilot of the all-inclusive click (AIC) program and the Apollo system gaining traction is a positive sign. The decision to extend the AIC model to the Atlas MAX system for screen replacement customers shows Kornit's adaptability to market demands. This could potentially open up new revenue streams and market segments.

However, the lower overall revenue compared to the previous year highlights the challenges in the current market environment. The company's ability to navigate these challenges while positioning itself for future growth will be important for long-term success.

Tech Industry Expert

Kornit's Q2 results underscore the company's strategic pivot towards a more service-oriented business model. The introduction of the all-inclusive click (AIC) program represents a shift from traditional hardware sales to a recurring revenue model. This approach could provide more stable and predictable cash flows in the long term.

The growth in impressions and consumables, coupled with multiple Apollo orders, suggests increasing adoption of Kornit's technology. The expansion of the AIC model to the Atlas MAX system indicates confidence in this strategy and could accelerate market penetration in the screen replacement segment.

However, the decrease in systems revenue highlights the challenges of this transition period. The company's ability to balance the decline in hardware sales with growth in consumables and services will be crucial. Investors should closely monitor the uptake of the AIC program and its impact on revenue and margins in coming quarters.

• Second quarter revenues of $48.6 million, in line with previous guidance
  
• Second quarter GAAP net loss of $4.9 million; non-GAAP net income of $1.1 million
• Generated positive cash flow from operations for the second quarter of 2024
• Both impressions and consumables grew year-over-year during the second quarter
• Interest in our pilot of the all-inclusive click (“AIC”) program and our Apollo system remains strong, with multiple orders added to our backlog in second quarter
  

ROSH-HA`AYIN, Israel, Aug. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kornit Digital Ltd. (“Kornit” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: KRNT), a worldwide market leader in sustainable, on-demand, digital fashion^X and textile production technologies, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“We are witnessing a pivotal shift to on-demand production in the fashion industry, where consumers are demanding both increased variety and faster delivery.” said Ronen Samuel, Kornit’s Chief Executive Officer. He added, “While the positive impact of these trends on our systems sales remains muted, we again saw growth in impressions and consumables. This supports our view that our customers continue to digest available capacity.”

Mr. Samuel continued, “In the second quarter, we also received several additional Apollo orders, including four on our AIC model. Given the strong initial feedback and traction we have seen with our AIC model, we made the decision to begin piloting the model on the Atlas MAX system for screen replacement customers.” He concluded, “We look forward to updating the investor community on our long-term business plans and capital allocation strategy at our investor event planned on September 10th.”

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; 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.
