Our growth margin also saw substantial improvement, climbing to over 50%. This shift reflects a more profitable sales mix and higher margin products and services. showcasing the operational gains we are realizing as we transform our business model. As we discussed during our investor event in September, our revamped go-to-market strategy is unlocking significant new market opportunities. Outdated fashion supply chains are struggling to keep pace which today demands for speed, creativity, and sustainability, and brands are urgently seeking agile production solutions. Kornit's offerings meet these needs precisely, and we are seeing accelerating demand for analog screen production to digital conversion. Our Apollo system, coupled with the new all-inclusive Qlik or AIC model, is driving this shift. with 12 out of 15 Apollos already shipped this year, and the remainder scheduled to deployment before peak season. We are collaborating with industry leaders like Print Palace and T-Formation, and our pipeline of pure play analog screen businesses interested in Apollo and Max technology continue to grow. Our AIC model is a key driver, addressing the multi-billion impression analog screen replacement opportunity by lowering the barriers of entry for high volume manufacturers seeking transition to digital production. AIC provides a predictable cost structure while eliminating the need for capital investment, enabling manufacturers to leverage digital agility while meeting the quality demand of global brands and retailers. This quarter, we also shipped multiple Atlas Max systems on AIC model and have added promising new opportunities for AIC on Max into 2025. This combination of our innovative technologies And this powerful business model is expanding our market reach and accelerating the industry transition to on-demand digital production. Looking ahead to 2025, we are on track to deliver 30 Apollo systems with approximately 20 expected to be on AIC model. We already have a firm visibility on more than half of these systems with some as confirmed orders. This aligns well with our long-term financial targets, which includes double-digit revenue growth and growing base of recurring revenues from AIC and enhanced profitability. Beyond progress with Apollo and AIC, during the quarter, we upgraded some of the Atlas fleets of our global strategic account to the Atlas Maxx. We are also advancing and seeing momentum in the role-to-role business, particularly in the footwear market. In China, we are making significant progress in this market with both existing and new customers. A strategic customer already using our technology has received large orders from major brands and is now ramping up production with our PrestoMark systems. This growth presents potential for expansion with additional systems early next year. We have also secured a new order from another prominent player in China's footwear market, both of whom supplies to major global brands. This progress underscores our competitive edge and positions us for continued success in our role-to-role into 2025. As we enter fourth quarter peak seasons, the market is showing continuous signs of improvements validated by strong consumable and systems order for Q4 delivery. This visibility paired with the growing momentum of AIC support our expectation for gradual recovery and the year-over-year growth in Q4, consistent with our guidance for H2 to be at least 20% higher than H1. In closing, we are seeing good signs of stabilization and recovery, which are driving anticipated improvements in revenue growth and profitability. Cornit is well positioned to lead the digital transformation of the textile industry. Brands and retailers need agility, and our solutions meet these demands of speed, quality, and sustainability. Supported by the recurring revenue from AIC and our industry leadership technology, we are confident in Kornit's path towards 2025, delivering value for our customers, shareholders, and employees alike.
