Summary Comments on Results

Commenting on second quarter results, Dr. Jeffrey Graves, president and CEO of 3D Systems said, “We are encouraged by the sequential revenue progress we delivered during the second quarter despite a challenging operating environment. Our top-line improved 10% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting strong performance by our Industrial and Healthcare markets for hardware, materials, and services . While our second-quarter revenue saw a year-over-year decline, this was primarily due to reduced printer sales to a specific dental customer and ongoing macroeconomic pressures on customer capital spending. We remain optimistic about the future given our most recent sequential recovery and continued momentum in our robust customer pipeline. As a result, given our performance through the first half and current macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, we are now targeting revenues for the full-year 2024 in the range of $450 million – $460 million, as we anticipate continued sequential revenue improvements in the third and fourth quarters.”

Dr. Graves continued, “During the quarter, we continued to deliver gross margin improvements annually and sequentially, in spite of the year-over-year volume decline. Looking forward, we believe our in-sourcing and restructuring actions, which have favorably impacted our cost-of-goods this year, will continue to drive gross margin expansion moving forward. Additionally, we are beginning to demonstrate steady improvement with respect to our operating expenses, which should accelerate in the second half of the year. While many of these costs remain elevated from the prior year, the primary driver is related to costs associated with our extended 2023 audit, which we expect will be more muted in the third quarter and then fully behind us by the fourth quarter. We expect to exit the year with normalized Non-GAAP operating expenses below $60 million by the fourth quarter, which on an annualized basis would be within our previously provided full-year range. In combination with the sequential improvement in revenues expected throughout the second half, we believe the significant reduction of operating expense in the second half will propel the company to near break-even adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter. While conditions remain challenging in the near-term, we have taken considerable actions to derisk our balance sheet since the end of 2023 and believe we are well-positioned with our critical R&D investments to capitalize on a very bright future ahead.”

Summary of Second Quarter Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 decreased 11.7% to $113.3 million compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by lower printer sales and partially offset by growth in services.

Healthcare Solutions revenue decreased 19.7% to $48.9 million compared to the same period last year primarily due to a decline in printer sales to a large orthodontics customer, partially offset by growth in our personalized health services business.

Industrial Solutions revenue decreased 4.4% to $64.4 million compared to the same period last year with declines noted year-over-year in both hardware and materials but increasing on a consecutive quarter basis.

Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2024 was 41.6% compared to 39.0% for the same period last year. Non-GAAP gross profit margin was 40.9% compared to 38.9% for the same period last year. Gross profit margin increased primarily due to favorable product mix, partially offset by unfavorable absorption associated with lower volumes.

Operating expense for the second quarter of 2024 was $73.5 million compared to $81.7 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP operating expense of $64.2 million increased $2.1 million compared to the same period last year and included approximately $2 million of higher external auditor fees and outside services primarily related to the delayed filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Net loss attributable to 3D Systems Corporation for the second quarter of 2024 was $27.3 million compared to a net loss of $28.9 million for the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $6.0 million to a loss of $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA primarily reflects lower total sales volume and an increase in operating expense.

Updating 2024 Outlook

Based on current macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, 3D Systems is updating its financial guidance for the remainder of 2024 as follows:

Financial Liquidity

At June 30, 2024, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $192.7 million, a decrease of $138.8 million since December 31, 2023. The decrease resulted primarily due to cash used in operations of $36.3 million, capital expenditures of $7.2 million, and repayment on borrowings of $87.2 million. At June 30, 2024, the company had total debt, net of deferred financing costs of $211.4 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this release that are not statements of historical or current facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the company to be materially different from historical results or from any future results or projections expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In many cases, forward looking statements can be identified by terms such as “believes,” “belief,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “estimates,” “intends,” “anticipates” or “plans” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are based upon management’s beliefs, assumptions and current expectations and may include comments as to the company’s beliefs and expectations as to future events and trends affecting its business and are necessarily subject to uncertainties, many of which are outside the control of the company. The factors described under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other factors, could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected or predicted in forward-looking statements. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not, and should not be relied upon as a guarantee of future performance or results, nor will they necessarily prove to be accurate indications of the times at which such performance or results will be achieved. The forward-looking statements included are made only as the date of the statement. 3D Systems undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements made by management or on its behalf, whether as a result of future developments, subsequent events or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by law.

Presentation of Information in this Press Release

3D Systems reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. Management also reviews and reports certain non-GAAP measures, including: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP diluted income (loss) per share, and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that management does not view as part of 3D Systems’ core results as they may be highly variable, may be unusual or infrequent, are difficult to predict and can distort underlying business trends and results. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures provide useful additional insight into underlying business trends and results and provide meaningful information regarding the comparison of period-over-period results. Additionally, management uses the non-GAAP measures for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance, including allocating resources and evaluating results relative to employee compensation targets. 3D Systems’ non-GAAP measures are not calculated in accordance with or as required by GAAP and may not be calculated in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should thus be considered as supplemental in nature and not considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

To calculate the non-GAAP measures, 3D Systems excludes the impact of the following items:

Amortization of intangibles and acquisition and divestiture-related costs are excluded from non-GAAP measures as the timing and magnitude of business combination transactions are not predictable, can vary significantly from period to period and the purchase price allocated to amortizable intangible assets and the related amortization period are unique to each acquisition. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. While intangible assets contribute to the company’s revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the sale of the company’s products or services. Additionally, intangible assets amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of the company’s acquisition activity. Accordingly, the company believes excluding the amortization of intangible assets enhances the company’s and investors’ ability to compare the company’s past financial performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to certain of our employees, the expense is non-cash in nature, and we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation; therefore, it is excluded from non-GAAP measures. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods. Charges related to restructuring and cost optimization plans, impairment charges, including goodwill, divestiture gains or losses, and the costs, including legal fees, related to significant or unusual litigation matters are excluded from non-GAAP measures as the frequency and magnitude of these activities may vary widely from period to period. Additionally, impairment charges, including goodwill, are non-cash. Furthermore, the company believes the costs, including legal fees, related to significant or unusual litigation matters are not indicative of our core business’ operations. Finally, 3D Systems excludes contingent consideration recorded as compensation expense related to the 2021 Volumetric acquisition from non-GAAP measures as management evaluates financial performance excluding this expense, which is viewed by management as similar to acquisition consideration.

The matters discussed above are tax effected, as applicable, in calculating non-GAAP diluted income (loss) per share.

Adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income, plus income tax (provision) benefit, interest and other income (expense), net, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation expense, and other non-GAAP adjustments, all as described above, is used by management to evaluate performance and helps measure financial performance period-over-period.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the accompanying schedules.

3D Systems does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain measures on a GAAP basis. The company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP gross profit margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and non-GAAP operating expense to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because certain items, including litigation costs, acquisition expenses, stock-based compensation expense, intangible assets amortization expense, restructuring expenses, and goodwill impairment charges are difficult to predict and estimate. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond the company’s control, and as such, any associated estimate and its impact on GAAP performance could vary materially.
