Thanks, Ronen and good evening everyone. We are very pleased with our strong third quarter results and our outlook for the final quarter of 2020. 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. Our third quarter non-GAAP pro forma results reflect adjustment for the following items. Stock based compensation expenses, which totaled $2.7 million, total amortization expenses related to the acquisition of intangible assets in the amount of $396,000, including expenses related to the acquisition of Custom Gateway in the amount of 315,000, 648,000 acquisition cost related to Custom Gateway, and non-cash deferred tax expenses in the amount of $121,000. Adjustments related to COVID-19 pandemic this quarter were $74,000. We do not expect additional COVID related expenses. As the company has significant operating lease liability in foreign currency, we incur foreign exchange gain or losses from the revaluation of these liabilities. These gains and losses may vary from period to period and do not reflect the true financial performance of the company. This quarter foreign exchange gains associated with ASC 842 were $110,000. A full reconciliation of our results on a GAAP to non-GAAP basis is available in our earnings press release issued earlier today and on the investor section of our website. Third quarter revenue net of 2.2 million net cash warrants impact were 57.4 million, an increase of 21.4% compared to the prior year period, and an increase of 53.3% sequentially. From a year-over-year perspective, we continue to see very healthy demand from our customers serving online market in the US for our product and services and significant revenues from our global strategic customer outside of the US. Services revenue for the third quarter was 8.1 million net of 165,000 warrants impact, accounting for 14.1% of total revenues an increase of 103.7% compared to the prior year period and increase of 45.3% sequentially. Beginning this quarter Custom Gateway revenue and cost of goods are included in services. Net of Custom Gateway and excluding the warrants impact services generated high single digit margin compared to a 44% loss in the prior year period. The amount attributed to the non-cash impact of warrants in the third quarter was 2.2 million or 3.6% of revenues, compared to 2.4 million or 4.9% of revenues in the third quarter of 2019 and 842,000 or 2.2% of revenues sequentially. As Ronen mentioned, it was a strong quarter in the Americas, with 59% of total revenues coming from that region, 33% from the Europe, Middle East and Africa and 8% from the Asia Pacific region. In the third quarter, we had three customers that each contributed more than 10% of total revenue. Our top 10 customers accounted for 58.3% of our total revenue compared to 56.3% in the prior year period. Moving to profitability, non-GAAP gross margin in the quarter net of warrants impact was 48.1% compared to 47.7% in the prior year period, and 44.1% sequentially. As previewed during our second quarter earnings call, we're back to our pre-COVID gross margin level of 50% excluding the impact of warrants. On a GAAP basis gross margin in the quarter was 47.1% compared to 47% in the prior year period and 42.2% sequentially. Moving to our OpEx items, I'll discuss these items on a non-GAAP basis, which exclude non-operating charges previously mentioned and highlighted in our GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation included in today's press release. The textile industry is experiencing an evolution that we have predicted for some time and has been further accelerated by our customers need to transition from analogue printing to digital. Not only has this created a tailwind in our system sales, but also significantly boosted ink and consumable consumption. This evolution has been further accelerated by COVID and represents significant market opportunity for Kornit. As Ronen mentioned, we continue to invest in the business to accelerate growth. Each of the following line items reflect headcount investment to build the infrastructure necessary to support the growth opportunities ahead of us. We ended the quarter with 657 employees a year-over-year increase of 142 employees, and a sequential increase of 83 predominantly due to 53 new employees joining us from Custom Gateway. Looking forward to the fourth quarter and the beginning of 2021, we're planning to net increase headcount organically by approximately 20 employees per quarter, predominantly customer facing and technology functions to strengthen our leading position in the market and merge our workflow solution. Adjusted research and development was 13.8% of sales, or 7.9 million compared to 11.2% of sales or 5.3 million in the prior year period. Additional R&D cost is attributed to headcount addition and use of materials. Sales and marketing expenses in the quarter were 7.8 million or 13.5% of sales, compared to 7.1 million or 15.1% in the prior year period. The relative decline in sales and marketing expenses this quarter is mainly attributed to the absence of trade shows and reduced travel expenses. General and administrative expenses in the third quarter were 5.1 million, or 9.6% of sales compared to 4 million or 8.5% in the third quarter of 2019. The growth in G&A cost is attributed mainly to additional headcount cost and increase in D&O insurance cost. Non-GAAP net profit for the third quarter was 7.7 million or $0.18 per share on a fully diluted basis net of $0.05 warranty impact. Net GAAP profit was 3.9 million or $0.09 per share on a fully diluted basis compared with net income of 4.7 million or $0.11 income per share for the prior year period. Our non-GAAP financial income this quarter was 1.7 million as a result of accrued interest on our cash investments. Our GAAP financial income this quarter was 1.6 million. Turning to adjusted EBITDA, for the third quarter 2020 adjusted EBITDA was 9.4 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of 13.1 million for the prior year period. Net cash provided by operating activities was 20.4 million this quarter, mainly due to a 7.8 million increase in deferred revenues and advance from customers, a 10.4 million increase in payable and net profit of 3.9 million offset by 8.5 million increase in trade receivables and 4.3 million increase in inventory compared to break even in operating activities in the prior year period and 9.2 million net cash used in the previous quarter. We expect the deferred revenues balance to convert revenues over the coming three quarters. Cash balances including bank deposit and marketable securities at quarter end were 405 million compared to 237 million as of June 30, 2020. This increase in cash balances was primarily driven by 163 million in net proceed from our last offering in September this year, and cash generated in operating activities of 20.4 million as previously discussed, mainly offset by used in the acquisition of Custom Gateway. In addition to the primary offering, Amazon sold 1.7 million shares converted on a cashless basis from 2.2 million warrants for net proceeds of 92 million. Turning to our view on the fourth quarter, we expect revenues to be in the range of 60 million to 64 million and non-GAAP operating income to be in the range of 13% of revenues to 16% of revenues. As has been our practice in the past these numbers assume no impact of the fair value of issued warrants in the third quarter of 2020. I'll now transfer the call back to Ronen.
