On a GAAP basis, fourth quarter gross profit reached $12.1 million as against $8.5 million, in the previous year's same quarter.

On a GAAP basis, the company reported net earnings of $2.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a net gain of $1.2 million, in the fourth quarter of 2014.

CEO Gabi Seligsohn said, “We are pleased to report a strong finish to our first year as a public company, and are proud of the milestones we have achieved throughout the year.”

“Notably, operating margin improved 350 basis points over the prior-year, despite increased investment in our global infrastructure and R&D, and the addition of almost 100 full-time employees during the year,” he too added.

“We expect that these investments should enable the company to capitalise on its market leading DTG position, and support the ongoing rollout of the Allegro,” Seligsohn observed. (AR)
