Kornit Digital Ltd. reported 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 CEO. “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.
“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,” added Samuel. “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.”
“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,” Samuel concluded. “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.”
Total revenue for the first quarter of 2023 was $47.8 million compared with $83.3 million in the prior year period, primarily due to expected lower systems revenues.
