ROSH-HA'AYIN, Israel, May 13, 2019 (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 first quarter ended March 31, 2019. First quarter 2019 revenue increased 22.6% to $38.2 million, net of $1.0 million attributed to the non-cash impact of warrants, compared to $31.1 million, net of $42 thousand attributed to the non-cash impact of warrants, in the prior year period. Increased revenues in the quarter were attributable to widespread growth of system sales across geographies, particularly in the Asia Pacific region.
On a GAAP basis, first quarter operating loss was $1.5 million, compared to the prior-year period operating profit of $0.1 million. Non-GAAP operating income was $1.6 million net of $1.0 million attributed to the non-cash impact of warrants, or 4.2% of revenue, net of 242 basis points attributed to the non-cash impact of warrants, compared to $1.7 million, or 5.5% of revenue, in the prior year period. Lower operating margin was the result of a higher impact from warrants during the period and the shift in revenue mix derived by record quarterly revenues from system and service and the one-time impact of approximately $2 million distribution replenishment ink revenues due to completion timing of the transition to a direct business model in North America.
Ronen Samuel, Kornit Digital's Chief Executive Officer, commented, 'We kicked off 2019 with an excellent start. We delivered a record quarter of revenues from the sale of systems and service and an overall 22.6% revenue growth despite a one-time effect of approximately $2 million on our ink revenues derived from the timing of our transition to a fully direct business model in North America, and a greater impact from the warrants resulting from a higher share price.
"This quarter, we experienced continued business momentum with our HD platforms and the roll-out of our odorless Eco Rapid consumables. We had an exceptionally strong start with our new product introductions with a double-digit number of customers placing orders for our newly launched Atlas and a strong and growing pipeline as it relates to the Poly Pro and Presto. We expect that these new products will have a material contribution to our revenues as early as Q2-2019.'
Samuel added, 'We continue to make good progress with our business plan as it relates to expanding our Go-To-Market and services. This quarter, we successfully completed the business model transition in North America, continued our strong business momentum in EMEA and executed on another strong quarter in Asia Pacific with record quarterly revenues, following our focus in scaling and improving our performance in that region. I am very satisfied with the solid execution our global teams continue to deliver as we scale up our go-to-market. We are on track with our internal growth plans and excited to continue driving the business forward. I would like to thank all our devoted employees globally on their hard work, commitment and their ongoing focus on our customers success.'
