Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

 

Revenues

 

Revenues increased by $113.5 million, or 93.7%, to $234.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $121.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which is net of $17.6 million and $3.6 million, the fair value of warrants associated with revenues recognized from Amazon, in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in revenues resulted from: a 38.2% increase in ink and other consumables revenues to $66.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $48.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020; a 58.6% increase in service revenues to $27.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $17.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and an increase of 153.3% in systems revenues to $140.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $55.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflected the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which began shortly before the end of the first quarter of 2020 and resulted in significant deferrals of orders.

 

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

  

Cost of revenues increased by $54.7 million, or 78.0%, to $124.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $70.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Gross profit increased by $58.6 million, or 115.4%, to $109.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $50.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Gross margin increased to 46.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 42.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 during which we faced the impact of COVID-19 on revenues and certain costs. Inventory write-offs amounted to $4.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $2.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Research and Development, net. Research and development net expenses increased by 38.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase of $5.2 million in salaries and related personnel expenses and share based compensation as a result of an increase in the number of employees with higher seniority, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In addition, the increase reflected an increase of $1.1 million in materials consumed for R&D activities and an increase of $1.2 million in consulting services. As a percentage of total revenues, our research and development expenses decreased from 18.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 13.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, mainly due to the increase in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 60.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $7.1 million in salaries and related personnel expenses and share-based compensation expenses due to a higher number of employees and variable compensation payout during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and increase of $4.6M in marketing activities due to higher volume of activities. As a percentage of total revenues, our sales and marketing expenses decreased during this period from 21.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 17.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, mainly due to the increase in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by 31.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This primarily resulted from an increase of $3.5 million in salaries, related personnel expenses and share-based compensation expenses mainly due to additional personnel and an increase of $1.2 million in consulting services. As a percentage of total revenues, our general and administrative expenses decreased from 15.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 10.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 mainly due to the increase in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

Financial income, net

 

Finance income, net totaled $2.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $4.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The $1.8 million decrease resulted mainly from a decrease to $3.0 million interest on marketable securities and bank deposits in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $3.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and by a decrease to $0.2 million of currency exchange losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $0.7 million of currency exchange gains in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Taxes on Income

 

Taxes on income amounted to $1.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to tax benefit of $0.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The change from tax benefit to taxes on income is due to moving from loss to income.

 

We are currently subject to a tax audit for the years 2013 to 2019 by the Israeli Tax Authority, or ITA. In respect of the years 2013 to 2014, we have been issued a tax order, which we are appealing to the district court. The ITA also issued assessments for the years 2015 to 2019, to which we have filed an objection, and the ITA has to determine whether to accept the objection or issue a tax order. Based on a legal opinion we received from our legal counsels, we believe that we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcome related to the ITA tax audits. Nevertheless, the ITA may disagree with our positions taken in our tax returns for any other years as well, and we may be subject to additional tax liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $96.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, $241.1 million in short term deposits and $119.7 million in short-term and long-term marketable securities, which, in the aggregate, totaled $457.5 million. We fund our operations mostly with cash raised via our equity financings, including our January 2017, September 2019 and September 2020 follow-on offerings, as well as, secondarily, cash generated from our operations.

 

As of September 30, 2021, we had a line of credit with an Israeli bank for total borrowings of up to $2.0 million. This line of credit is unsecured and available provided that we maintain a 30% ratio of total tangible shareholders’ equity to total tangible assets and that the total credit use will be less than 70% of our receivables. Interest rates across this credit line varied from 0.3% to Prime (Israel Interbank Offered Rate) +0.7% (currently 2.3% as of September 30, 2021).

 

Based on our current business plans, we believe that our cash flows from operating activities and our existing cash resources will be sufficient to fund our projected cash requirements for at least the next 12 months without drawing on our lines of credit or using cash on hand. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities, and the timing of introductions of new solutions and the continuing market acceptance of our solutions as well as other business development efforts.

 

The following table presents the major components of net cash flows for the periods presented:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our accounts receivable decreased by $1.7 million, reflecting the strong collection of customers debts.

During the same period, deferred revenues and advances from customers decreased by $15.3 million, thereby reducing cash provided by operating activities by that amount, while other payables and accrued expenses increased by $10.5 million, reflecting the increase in business volume, which increased cash provided by operating activities by that amount.

During the same period, our inventory increased by $9.5 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, which decreased cash used in operating activities by that amount.
