Ronen Samuel
Thank you, Allise. Thank you all for joining us this evening on our earning call.
I am pleased to report an outstanding fourth quarter, significantly exceeding guidance for top line growth and profitability, capping off a record second-half 2020 for Kornit. This proved to be transformative year in Kornit's history.
While 2020 will be remembered for the global pandemic, it is also the year in which the textile industry hit an inflection point. The massive leap in e-commerce and the exposed inefficiency of the traditional textile supply chain creates strong tailwinds to the digital transformation that Kornit is leading.
In 2018, we laid out our management goal to become a $500 million revenue run rate business at the end of 2023. Upon completion of the second year in this journey, we are more confident than ever in our ability to achieve this goal ahead of plan.
Turning to our Q4 results. We finished 2020 on a very strong note with total revenue growing 49% year-over-year to $72.3 million, net of $1.8 million in warrants related to global strategic account.
We delivered record gross margin and we significantly exceeded our operating possibility goal for the full-year while generating a record of $34.3 million net cash from operating activities. While traditional retail is recovering from the effect of the pandemic, e-com and online marketplaces continue to boom across verticals, including core fashion brands, athleisure, merch, sports licensing, customized apparel and home decor.
As a result, key and regional accounts are adding multiple Atlases, Vulcans and AVHDs to their existing fleets. And we see multiple customers that started with entry-level system from Kornit only 12 to 18 months ago moving rapidly to purchase high-throughput systems.
We also see very healthy mix in our order book of net new versus existing accounts across our geographies. The Presto is an absolutely game changer for the fashion industry and the level of engagement with manufacturers for top fashion brands continue to grow.
The recurring consumable business from DTF is gaining volume and we experienced tremendous year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter. On a regional basis, Americas continued to set new record highs, EMEA delivered a good quarter, particularly in UK and Germany with continued movement to the adoption of higher throughput system.
While Asia-Pacific continues to struggle with pandemic challenges, our new leadership is making strategic alignments required to capitalize on the massive opportunity and we expect to see a strong recovery in 2021. We enable our customers to have an incredibly successful peak season reflected in the staggering year-over-year growth of our recurring consumable business.
Services continue to outperform our expectation on growth and profitability, and I am very proud with the execution of our customer success teams. In Q4, we announced our new business line, leveraging the strategic foundation of Custom Gateway.
Our cloud-based software workflow platform is unique and we are experiencing huge interest from brands and fulfillers looking to adopt on-demand business models at a global scale as well as automate and optimize the production flows. We received multiple orders from customers across regions and the pipeline continue to grow.
We believe there is a huge opportunity for Kornit to build an incremental recurring business model and we have an exciting road map of new software application and value-added services. 2020 was a phenomenal execution year for Kornit throughout an unprecedented pandemic environment, demonstrating the accelerating demand for our products and the continued execution of our team.
Turning to 2021, our outlook for the year is very strong, supported by the highest level of visibility and confidence in our history. We started the year stronger than ever with accelerating industry tailwinds, an impressive backlog of global expansion project with strategic account that we are in the process of fulfilling and an extremely robust pipeline.
2021 will be an exciting year filled with significant strategic initiatives. We will launch powerful new products, which will drive further penetration into the heart of the fashion, apparel and home decor industry.
We are going to launch a breakthrough proprietary automation technology that substantially increases throughput, usability and consistency of operation. We will be introducing a groundbreaking proprietary 3D textile application that will bring to the market unique embroidery, high-density printing and vinyl heat transfer effects.
This first-of-the-kind application will enable entirely new products creation, disrupt the traditional embroidery market and significantly expand Kornit's addressable market. We will scale our new software workflow business line.
We will execute on massive global expansion with our strategic accounts. And we will expand our footprint in key segments, grow our activities with mega brands as well as penetrate new market vertical while continuing to drive customer success.
I will also note that ESG has been a strategic focus area for Kornit since beginning, especially as it comes to driving sustainability in the textile industry. 2021 will mark the year in which we are taking our long-term ESG program to the next level.
Our dedicated ESG team is working with the best professional in the industry to prioritize the execution of our many initiatives and our first impact report will be published in the second-half of the year. Last week, we announced Kornit Fashion Week Tel Aviv and excitement around this event is building rapidly.
The widely recognized international event will showcase how innovation and technology meet the fashion world to create a future that is more expressive and sustainable, solving the industry's most pressing problem. More than 40 leading fashion designers will be participating in this international showcase of sustainable fashion and it will give observers insight into the many ways technology empowers even the most demanding designers to deliver fashion that is sustainable without compromising the world famous quality.
We couldn't be prouder to be part of this and it demonstrates our commitment to expand our footprint in the fashion industry. Last year, we were hoping to host all of you in Israel for our business unusual event planned with hundreds of customers, partners and investors at a first of a kind event.
While global travel restrictions remain challenging to predict currently, we remain optimistic and aim to hold these extraordinary industry event during the second-half of 2021. So stay tuned.
In a moment, I will turn the call over to Alon Rozner for his first earning call as the CFO of Kornit. Alon brings more than 20 years of financial management experience to the role and his exceptional leadership capabilities will be essential as we continue to execute on our profitable growth strategy.
Kornit is stronger than ever been and we enter 2021 more confident than ever in our ability to execute on the massive opportunities ahead of us. Moreover, we believe Kornit's initiatives will further disrupt the industry enabling our customer to achieve even greater success while fueling Kornit's growth and profitability well beyond 2021.
Now, I will pass over the call to Alon. Alon?
Alon Rozner
Thank you Ronen and good evening everyone. Since joining Kornit in December, I have had the opportunity to immerse myself in the business and operations as well as get closely familiar with my colleagues and professional teams across Kornit.
I am excited with the journey ahead of us as we continue to transform the textile industry and scale profitably. Before beginning the financial overview, I would like to remind you that the following discussion will include GAAP financial measures as well as non-GAAP pro forma results.
A full reconciliation of our results on a GAAP to non-GAAP basis is available in the earnings press release issued earlier today and on the Investors section of our website. Now let's dive into the financials.
We are very pleased with our strong fourth quarter results which significantly exceeded our expectations on top and bottom line. Fourth quarter results were record-high for Kornit across key financial parameters including revenue, profitability and cash flow from operations.
Fourth quarter revenue increased 49% year-over-year to $72.3 million, net of $1.8 million non-cash warrants impact and an increase of 26% compared to the previous quarter. Our fourth quarter results were driven by strong demand for our industrial and mass production system mostly in North America and Europe and very high growth in consumables during the peak season.
Services revenue for the fourth quarter was $10.9 million, net of $280,000 non-cash warrants impact, accounting for 15% of total revenue, an increase of 70% year-over-year and an increase of 35% compared to the previous quarter. As a reminder, Custom Gateway revenue and cost of goods are mostly included in services.
We continue to improve our service contract attach rate, which is growing our recurring revenue stream. As Ronen mentioned, it was a strong quarter in the Americas with 75% of total revenue coming from that region, 20% from EMEA and 5% from Asia-Pacific region.
In the fourth quarter, we had only one customer that contributed more than 10% of total revenue. Our top 10 customers accounted for 62.1% of total revenue.
Moving to profitability. Non-GAAP gross margin in the quarter, net of warrants impact, reached 51.8%, an improvement of 160 basis points year-over-year and 370 basis points from previous quarter.
Our GAAP basis gross margin in the quarter was 51.1%, an improvement of 170 basis points year-over-year and an improvement of 400 basis points from the previous quarter. Our strong gross margin is a result of the demand for our high-end systems, high demand for ink, profitable service revenue and continuous operational efficiency.
Moving to our OpEx items. I will discuss these items on a non-GAAP basis.
We continue to invest in the business to support the accelerated growth opportunities ahead of us. During the fourth quarter, we didn't have any adjustments or expenses related to COVID-19 and we do not expect any costs going forward.
Adjusted research and development expenses were $8.7 million or 12.1% of revenue, compared to $5.7 million or 11.6% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in R&D is a result of the accelerated investment in R&D for new products and innovative applications and attributed to headcount additions and use of materials.
Sales and marketing expenses in the quarter were $10.2 million or 14.2% of revenue, compared to $8.5 million or 17.4% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019. We continue to invest in expanding our go-to-market capabilities and in customer facing activities.
However, travel and events expenses were lower this quarter due to continued travel limitations in some areas. General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter were $6.7 million or 9.2% of revenue, compared to $4.5 million or 9.2% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019.
The increase in G&A cost is mainly related to additional headcount, professional services and increase in D&O insurance cost. We ended the quarter with 672 employees, a year-over-year increase of 125 employees and an increase of 15 employees compared to the previous quarter.
The year-over-year increase was in line with our growth plans, both organically and in organically with 53 new employees joining us from Custom Gateway. Looking forward to 2021, we will continue to invest in growing the organization to support our business, mainly in R&D and sales and marketing.
Non-GAAP net profit for the fourth quarter was $11.5 million or $0.24 per share on a fully diluted basis, up from $7.1 million or $0.17 per share in the fourth quarter of 2019. Fourth quarter GAAP net profit was $5.9 million or $0.12 per share on a fully diluted basis, up from net income of $4.8 million or $0.11 per share for the fourth quarter of 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $14.8 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $7.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Net cash provided by operating activities was $34.3 million this quarter compared to $14.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.
The increase was mainly due to the increased level of activity and advance payments from customers. We enter 2021 with a strong backlog, including $27 million of deferred revenue and customer advances.
We expect the deferred revenues balance to convert to revenue in 2021, largely in the second and third quarter. Cash balance, including bank deposit and marketable securities, at quarter-end were $436 million, compared to $264 million as of December 31, 2019.
The increase in cash was mostly driven by the successful offering of $163 million in September and our operating profit. I will now briefly recap our full-year 2020 results.
Our full-year results were impacted by COVID uncertainty in the first quarter. Then we experienced strong growth in the business in the second-half of 2020, which resulted in a record close to the year.
Full-year revenue, net of $5.4 million non-cash warrants impact, was $193.3 million, an increase of 7.5% year-over-year. Full-year GAAP net loss was $4.8 million or $0.11 per share on a fully diluted basis compared to net income of $10.2 million or $0.26 per share in 2019.
Full-year adjusted EBITDA was $14 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $26.9 million in 2019. Turning to our view on the first quarter of 2021.
We enter 2021 with strong industry tailwinds, a backlog of large expansion projects and great momentum in the business. For the first quarter of 2021, we expect revenue to be in the range of $61 million to $65 million and non-GAAP operating income to be in the range of 8% of revenue to 10% of revenue.
As has been our practice in the past, these numbers assume no impact of fair value of issued warrants in the quarter. In summary, we are very proud of our Q4 results as we continue to execute on our strategy and capitalize on the long term opportunity ahead of us.
Kornit is in a very strong position and we are more confident than ever in our ability to achieve our $500 million run rate goal ahead of plan, while expanding gross margin and profitability. I will now turn the call back to Ronen
Ronen Samuel
Thank you Alon. With that, we are ready to open the call for questions.
Operator
Thank you. [Operator Instructions].
Our first question is from Jim Suva with Citigroup Investment Research. Please proceed.
Jim Suva
Thank you very much, and good evening, and thank you for all the details thus far, and congratulations on the good results and outlook. On the outlook, can you talk to us a little bit about the supply chain, specifically components?
It seems like there is a lot of shortages around the world, less airplanes flying around. Kind of your ability looking forward, do you have enough components for like one quarter or three quarters?
Or how should we think about potential constraints to your supply chain?
Ronen Samuel
Thank you, Jim. Good question.
We don't see any constraints on supply chain. As you know, we produce our systems in Israel, working very closely with our contract manufacturer, both Sanmina and Flextronics.
We just about to move to our new ink plant that has capacity well above what we will need in the next 10 years. So we don't see any constraints on supply chain.
The only negative side on supply chain, as you know, the cost of shipping is going up everywhere and we see it as well in our business, the cost of logistics is going up.
Jim Suva
And then my last question is, on your meetings with customers, typically shaking hands, in-person meetings and trials, are those getting better now that there are some parts of the world such as Israel that are opening up with a vaccine a little bit sooner than, say, North America? Or it’s still kind of pretty challenged, because your results are really strong?
I am just wondering if things are starting even getting a little more visibility from where you sit for demand?
Ronen Samuel
Yes. So again, great questions.
Bottom line, when we are looking at Q4, actually, the mix that we have between net new customers to existing customers is very healthy. So we see many net new customers joining our business.
And we are gaining this momentum, actually meeting with them, in many cases, through Zoom meetings, going to visit other customers or reference sites. We are doing live demonstration from our experience center all around the world and including in Israel, live with our customers and it’s very, very efficient.
They are sending us the material in advance. We are doing all the testing.
We are sending them back the material after it was produced and printed. So it's working quite well.
Actually, in terms of productivity, I can tell you, even from my end, I find myself sometimes having three, four Zoom calls with - on one day with key customers and it's very, very efficient and beneficial.
Jim Suva
Thank you so much for the details and congratulations.
Ronen Samuel
Thank you.
Alon Rozner
Thank you.
Operator
Our next question is from Tavy Rosner with Barclays. Please proceed.
Peter Zdebski
Hello. This is Peter Zdebski on for Tavy.
Congratulations on the quarter and welcome to you, Alon.
Alon Rozner
Thank you.
Peter Zdebski
I was wondering if you could give us some color on the consumables mix for the year or the quarter. What I am wondering is, typically, in the fourth quarter, you would have mix skewed a bit towards - more towards consumables than the rest of the year.
I am wondering if that's changed at all given the sort of accelerated pace of system sales you have been seeing? And then also, I am sorry if I missed it, but did you mention any greater than 10% customers in the quarter?
Alon Rozner
So - hi, this is Alon. So yes, I mean, typically Q4, we have – in Q4, we have higher demand for consumables.
And this quarter, it was the same and even stronger. We had very strong demand for consumables, which supported our business very well.
Ronen Samuel
I can add that in this quarter Q4, we broke the record in terms of the supply growth, really, really strong supply growth. We are not sharing the numbers, but it's well above what we expected and we see the momentum moving into 2021.
In terms of your second question about customers that has more than 10%. We have only one customer that had this quarter more than 10%, and it wasn't our global strategic account.
It was not a global strategic account.
Peter Zdebski
That's great. Very helpful.
Thanks so much.
Operator
Our next question is from Brian Drab with William Blair. Please proceed.
Brian Drab
Hi. Congratulations.
Thanks for taking my questions. I am wondering if you could talk a little bit more about the automation solution and when might we hear more about that?
How much does it speed up the process? Is it applicable to machines across your portfolio?
Is there anything else you can share today on that?
Ronen Samuel
Yes. Brain, thank you very much for the question.
So the automation, it's a breakthrough solution. There is nothing like this in the market.
It's one-of-a-kind. It’s - we have a strong IP on the solution and we are planning to release it in the mid of the year.
This solution is an option on top of the portfolio that we have, will serve the Atlas portfolio, including the new systems, the new portfolio that we are going to release in the second-half of the year. And in terms of the efficiency and the productivity, so it really depends on the operators that are running the systems.
So today, for example, the Atlases can run at above 100 impressions per hour. But the limitation of running constantly 100 impression or above per hour on the Atlas is actually the operator.
Sometimes the operators are taking breaks and they are tired and maybe they can do it in one hour, but the second hour they will go down to 80. The automation enables the operator to do his job in a constant way, much more easy and in constant quality in the end.
So it will improve the quality. It will improve the ease of use and the productivity.
We expect that the productivity will be increased by around 20% on average.
Brian Drab
That's really helpful. Thanks.
And so it's a solution, just to be clear, that doesn't completely remove the need for an operator, but it makes an operator much more efficient.
Ronen Samuel
Correct. It doesn't remove totally the operator.
It helps the operator to load and unload from the systems in a consistent way. In some cases, we can see one operator running two systems with this system - with the automation.
Brian Drab
Got it. Okay.
Thanks. And then can you help me envision this 3D embroidery application a little bit better?
And also talk about how much that expands your addressable market, as you alluded to in the press release?
Ronen Samuel
Yes. So we are not ready to share too much information at this stage.
We are going to share much more information in April. And, of course, we are going to show it to the market in June.
It will be part of the new portfolio that we are releasing to the market. Again, it's a breakthrough solution.
There is no other digital solution that can enable those application. That - some of those applications will never exist before.
So what the system, the new system will enable to do is to print actually on garment, on any type of garment, it could be polyester, it could be cotton blended, 3D images. So actually, we can build 3D images which can go up to 700 micron above the surface and to emulate all kinds of application.
One of the application is embroidery. And we are getting excellent result and excellent feel of embroidery.
Another application is high density vinyl which is very, very important, for example, for the sports and athleisure market. And also for heat transfer, which is also relevant very much for the sports market.
So we believe, at this point, that in terms of the addressable market, it will increase Kornit's addressable market by about 25% to 30% from what we have today. So it's a huge increase for our TAM.
And we believe that on top of that, it will create new application that were never been able to produce before.
Brian Drab
That's great. And just one clarification.
Is it a system that embroiders or it simulates embroidery as part of the solution?
Ronen Samuel
It simulates embroidery. It's a printing but it feels and looks like embroidery with many, many additional advantages, okay.
But we will keep it a bit later in April we are going to share a bit more information about it.
Brian Drab
Right. Thank you very much.
Operator
Our next question is from Patrick Ho with Stifel. Please proceed with your question.
Patrick Ho
Thank you very much and congrats on the nice quarter and to the year. Ronen, first off, you posted some very strong services numbers and in your prepared remarks you talked about the increasing attach rates.
Can you give us a little bit color if some of those attach rates are now for multiyear type of service agreements? Or are they still kind of close to year contracts which you have to get quote renewals with these customers?
Ronen Samuel
So we are already about year-and-half ago we moved to a full contract. Every machine that we are selling, we are selling with a contract.
There is no other way to buy from us a machine and it's not for one year. It's for multiple year contract.
And we see a very nice recurring revenue coming from the services business.
Patrick Ho
Great. That's helpful.
And maybe as a follow-up, Alon, in terms of the operating model. You guys posted very strong gross margins.
Obviously, products mix had contributed to that. As you look at 2021, you talked about OpEx increasing to help grow with the business.
One, can you talk about some of the focus items in R&D? Are they for the embroidery product that's going to be released?
Or are they for others that are yet to be seen until, say, 2022 and beyond? And how much do you need to add more in terms of the sales and marketing front to support these new initiatives?
Alon Rozner
Okay. So as we said, we continue to invest in the organization.
As you mentioned, the focus is R&D and sales and marketing, the go-to-market. In regard to R&D, we invest actually across the board.
We are enhancing our capabilities in the core occupations in R&D, in software, in new projects, in workflow. So there is a massive investment in R&D.
We did it in Q4 and we will continue in 2021. And the same goes with sales and marketing.
We increase our coverage with professional salespeople across all regions. And yes, I mean we will continue to invest in 2021 the same.
Ronen Samuel
Let me add one more point. As we mentioned, on our mission for the $500 million run rate goal, we said and we are committing to expand our gross margin and to bring leverage also on the bottom line of the operating profit.
So you will see during 2021 leverage on operating profit. We will bring small leverage on the operating profit.
We don't want to maximize it because we see a massive opportunity in the marketplace and we would like to invest as much as we can while maintaining our commitment to the market. But we would like to invest as much as we can in more feet on street, in more R&D and other parts of the businesses because this is the time to invest and to grab the market and not to milk the cow to the maximum.
Patrick Ho
Thank you very much.
Operator
Our next question is from Jim Ricchiuti with Needham & Company. Please proceed.
Jim Ricchiuti
Hi. Thank you.
Good evening. A question about, clearly it sounds like you had a very strong quarter for supplies.
And you did call out the strength in Presto. And I wonder if you could talk a little bit more, Ronen, about what you are seeing there?
It sounds like utilization is at a pretty high level. Is that [indiscernible] or is it just certain customers have really begun to deploy this?
Ronen Samuel
Yes. So we have tremendous success on the Presto.
Now let's ask on the success, from where it is coming. Actually, these inflection points are going on in the textile market as we have discussed.
We can see the move to onshore production on the textile, if it is on the fashion markets or on the home decor market. We can see it across Europe, U.S.
and also in Asia really moving to onshore or nearshore production. We have a system which is the Presto, which is the one of the kind and we are the only one that enabling onshore production in a full sustainable way without any pretreatment, without any posttreatment.
I can tell you, this week we have many, many designers preparing here in our facility in Israel for the Kornit Tel Aviv Fashion show. They are amazed with what they can see coming out from the Presto.
They are actually designing on the floor their ideas and they can see it immediately going out of the press ready to just cut and sew. This is unheard of and we are gaining huge momentum.
The ability, the quality and the hand-feel is nothing like you can see in other places in the market. And we believe that the entire market, entire textile world, the fashion market and the home decor market is moving into on-demand production on onshore and we have the right solutions to address this market.
Jim Ricchiuti
Thank you. It appears that you are pleased with the progress at Custom Gateway.
And I guess you have only had the business for less than a half year. Can you say, Ronen, looking out at the second-half of 2020, how many of your the existing Kornit customers have you been able to bring into the Custom Gateway solution portfolio?
Ronen Samuel
So, Jim, we are not ready to share numbers at this stage of it's performance. But middle of the year, we will be able to share a bit more numbers on the business line and also target for the future that we expect from this business.
What I can tell you, there is a huge excitement, both from the marketplaces, from brands, from retail, from online players and also from our customers joining to the Custom Gateway solution. We really enable our customers to be more efficient on the production flow.
We enable our customer to connect to major brands. We can see huge increase coming in case of volume of impressions that are coming from brands and marketplaces directly to our customers.
And we see very, very nice increase of impression that's coming from this system. So we see a big potential of revenue and margin growth coming from this business moving forward and we are very optimistic about this move.
Jim Ricchiuti
Thank you. And last question, if I may, just with respect to the new products, the ones that you are most excited by.
For the most part, the contribution that you are anticipating for these products this year, are they skewed more to the second-half? Will we see a contribution in Q3?
Ronen Samuel
Yes. Absolutely.
In Q3, we will see contribution form the new products, also from the automation and also from the application. So we will see it already in H2.
Jim Ricchiuti
Thank you.
Operator
Our next question is from Rod Hall with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed.
Rod Hall
Yes. Thanks for the question.
I wanted to start off with the revenue that you printed in the guidance, a lot of long ways ahead of your guidance for the Q4 and really strong guidance in Q1. Could you maybe highlight the one or two things that surprised you there and pushed that way above the high end of your guidance range for Q4?
And then I have a follow-up.
Ronen Samuel
So a few things. First of all, we discussed already on the growth on the supplies.
So it was a very, very strong supplies quarter, the Q4. It was also a very strong quarter for the service growth while our systems was also very strong.
So it's a combination of all those three businesses. And what we see on the system is things that we have never seen before.
We see relative new customers have just joined Kornit about a year ago, increasing capacity volume very dramatically and purchasing multiple systems. When I say multiple system, we see few cases of more than 10, more than 20 and even 50 systems of orders without getting to names of customers and even more than that.
So surprisingly, what surprised me is the magnitude to seeing so many customers are ordering multiple, vast many multiple of systems.
Rod Hall
Is that just, Ronen, a critical math thing, do you think? :Like, do you feel like just kind of point of recognition that these things that are out there and what could be done with them that's driven this acceleration all of a sudden?
Ronen Samuel
The acceleration is coming from the inflection point that we were talking about two quarter ago. It's really about the move into the e-commerce.
The online marketplaces are booming. The move into onshore.
We can see the growth in the strategic account and existing account. Our systems, you know, the growth in the Atlases, the Vulcans, the AVHD, the Presto, which is relative new segment for Kornit, new product for Kornit.
The business is growing fantastically. We can see the mix between the new customer to existing customers.
The recurring revenue is very, very strong. And it was a very, very strong peak season.
So it's a combination of all those together.
Alon Rozner
I think that it was not only our customers preparing their infrastructure for the peak season but they kept investing and we got strong demand also during the peak season until the very last day of the quarter. So we see, again, as Ronen mentioned, I mean this is absolutely related to the inflection point and not just the short term peak season.
Rod Hall
Okay. Thanks for that.
And then my last question was just on Poly Pro. Could you maybe give us a little update on how things are going there?
Ronen Samuel
Yes. So on Poly Pro, we are getting a very nice demand.
We are starting to see very good traction of the current Poly Pro solution. Part of the NPI, the new product introductions that we are bringing in the middle of the year is the additional solution, expanding the portfolio of the Poly Pro and taking it to the next level in terms of productivity, in terms of the quality, in terms of the efficiency.
You will see an amazing quality, durability coming out of this new product that we are bringing to the market. It will really going to open for us the athleisure and the sports market.
And we are very optimistic about the growth that we will see next year from the Poly market.
Rod Hall
Okay. And that's the same thing as the 3D printing thing?
Or is it totally different? I thought they were different but is it the same thing you are talking about here?
Ronen Samuel
No. It's different.
Rod Hall
Okay. Thank you.

And our next question is from Greg Palm with Craig-Hallum Capital Group. Please proceed.
Greg Palm
Yes. Thanks for taking the questions and congrats on the results here.
I know you don't usually give full-year guidance but looking back at history, Q1 tends to always be the low point of the year and usually you see a kind of a step-up in revenue in the second-half versus the first-half. So I am just curious, is there anything unusual that we should expect this year?
Or would you expect the sort of same seasonality trend to hold this year as well?
Ronen Samuel
Greg, you are absolutely right. You should expect the same seasonality.
Greg Palm
Okay. Great.
And if we think about that specifically, maybe help us bucket out what the largest drivers of that is? I mean you have kind of alluded to this new customers and I am curious if that's outside your core business?
Or is that sort of incremental customers in sort of that core area? Is it capacity expansions from existing customers and then maybe what the contribution expectations are for new product as well?
Ronen Samuel
Yes. So what we can say is that our existing customers and even customers, they are adding capacity because they expect 2021 to see it as a growth year for them.
They see the demand and they see the volume coming. They are actually on constant peak season already from April, May timeframe, then constant peak season.
And during December, it was the peak of the peak and this peak continue into the Q1 and they are adding more capacity. So for example, our strategic accounts and our key accounts are adding more capacity, many of them opening additional sites if it's across the U.S., if it's across continent, moving to the Europe and even into Asia.
So we see expansion of additional sites and expansion within the site of additional capacity of more systems. And also they are moving to higher capacity systems.
So many of them are moving from the Avalanche into the Atlases. We see also growth into the Vulcans.
So this is one area we see the growth coming also from totally net new customers. Digital customers that are entering, they see the opportunity in this market and they are starting and they are gaining momentum very, very fast.
And as I mentioned, the Presto is relative new. The DTF is relative new business for us, which is another big, big growth engine.
And on top of that, the Poly one-and-half-years ago was not exist at all. And again, we are now gaining momentum as well on the Poly side.
Greg Palm
Okay. And if I could just sneak in one clarification.
I think your answer to a previous question about Q4 and what drove sort of the upside. I think you mentioned that the growth rate or at least the answer almost implied like the growth rate in the consumables business surpassed the growth of systems.
Was that right? Or did I mishear something?
Ronen Samuel
No. I think that the growth was in all fronts.
I mean we had nice growth in systems, in consumables and in service. And we had very high growth in consumables as we highlighted.
But that the growth was in all different types of business we have.
Greg Palm
Okay. Great.
Thanks for all the color. Best of luck going forward.
Ronen Samuel
Thank you.
Alon Rozner
Thank you.
