Dr. Yoav Zeif, Stratasys’ Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our strong start to the year, with our highest first quarter revenue total in six years, was anchored by 22% revenue growth that included improved contributions from all our technologies. Importantly, systems was the main driver, up 36.7% for its strongest first quarter in five years, and 16.4% higher than the same period in pre-COVID 2019. We also achieved exceptional results in both consumables and services, driven by strength in our growing install base. And we are particularly excited by the early momentum and contributions from our new Origin P3, H350 SAF and Neo systems, designed for high-volume production of end-use parts.”

Dr. Zeif continued, “We have advanced a number of strategic initiatives thus far in 2022, including the announced MakerBot business combination with Ultimaker, the publishing of our inaugural ESG Sustainability Report, and our annual flagship manufacturing event where we showcased new offerings in materials, upgrades to existing printing platforms, and an expansion of our software capabilities. We are relentless about our focus on execution in our drive to grow our leadership position in polymer 3D printing. With our combination of best-in-class talent, systems offerings, Go-to-Market and support infrastructure, combined with a robust balance sheet, Stratasys is positioned to build on our first quarter growth across the balance of 2022 and beyond.”

Financial Outlook:

Based on current market conditions and assuming that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or global supply chain costs do not impede economic activity further, the Company is tightening its revenue guidance range for 2022:

  • Full year revenue of $685 million to $695 million.
  • Sequential quarterly revenue growth.
  • Second quarter revenue growth expected to reach low to mid-teens as a percentage over second quarter of 2021.
  • Based on current logistics and materials costs, full-year gross margins of flat to slightly higher than in 2021, with improved year-over-year growth in the second half of 2022.
  • Full year-operating expenses that are $20 million to $25 million higher than 2021, primarily due to ongoing investments in new products to drive higher revenue.
  • Full year non-GAAP operating margins slightly above 2%.
  • GAAP net loss of $74 million to $67 million, or ($1.11) to ($1.00) per diluted share.
  • Non-GAAP net income of $10 million to $13 million, or $0.14 to $0.19 per diluted share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $38 million to $41 million.
  • Capital expenditures of $20 million to $25 million.

Non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $37 million to $38 million of projected amortization of intangible assets, $31 million to $33 million of share-based compensation expense, and reorganization and other expenses of $14 million to $15 million. Non-GAAP guidance includes tax adjustments of $2 million to $1 million on the above non-GAAP items.

Appropriate reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are provided in a table at the end of our press release and slide presentation, with itemized detail concerning the non-GAAP financial measures.

These forward-looking statements are based on current information that is, by its nature, subject to rapid and even abrupt change. Due to risks and uncertainties associated with Stratasys' business, actual results could differ materially from those projected or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the degree of our success at introducing new or improved products and solutions that gain market share; the degree of growth of the 3D printing market generally; the impact of potential shifts in the prices or margins of the products that we sell or services that we provide, including due to a shift towards lower margin products or services; the impact of competition and new technologies; potential further charges against earnings that we could be required to take due to impairment of additional goodwill or other intangible assets; the extent of our success at successfully consummating and integrating into our existing business acquisitions or investments in new businesses, technologies, products or services; the degree of our success at locating and acquiring additional value-enhancing, inorganic technology that furthers our business plan to lead in the realm of polymers; the potential adverse impact that recent global interruptions and delays involving freight carriers and other third parties may have on our supply chain and distribution network, and, consequently, our ability to successfully sell both our existing and newly-launched 3D printing products; the strength and duration of, and degree of recovery from and resilience to, the COVID-19 pandemic and/or adverse macro-economic trends that are, in part, by-products of that pandemic, such as inflation, which may have significant consequences for our operations, financial position, cash flows, and those of our customers and suppliers going forward; potential changes in our management and board of directors; global market, political and economic conditions, and in the countries in which we operate in particular (including risks related to the impact of coronavirus on our supply chain and business); costs and potential liability relating to litigation and regulatory proceedings; risks related to infringement of our intellectual property rights by others or infringement of others' intellectual property rights by us; the extent of our success at maintaining our liquidity and financing our operations and capital needs; the impact of tax regulations on our results of operations and financial condition; and those additional factors referred to in Item 3.D “Key Information - Risk Factors”, Item 4, “Information on the Company”, Item 5, “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” and all other parts of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021, which we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on February 24, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”). Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made throughout our 2021 Annual Report and the Reports of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K that attach Stratasys’ unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements and its review of its results of operations and financial condition, for the quarterly periods throughout 2022, which will be furnished to the SEC throughout 2022, and our other reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, which are designed to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Any guidance provided, and other forward-looking statements made, in this press release are provided or made (as applicable) as of the date hereof, and Stratasys undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP data included herein, which excludes certain items as described below, are non-GAAP financial measures. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful information for investors and shareholders of our company in gauging our results of operations (i) on an ongoing basis after excluding mergers, acquisitions and divestments related expense or gains and reorganization-related charges or gains, legal provisions and (ii) excluding non-cash items such as stock-based compensation expenses, acquired intangible assets amortization, including intangible assets amortization related to equity method investments, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, revaluation of our investments and the corresponding tax effect of those items. These non-GAAP adjustments either do not reflect actual cash outlays that impact our liquidity and our financial condition or have a non-recurring impact on the statement of operations, as assessed by management. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance for internal planning and forecasting purposes. The limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures are that they provide a view of our results of operations without including all items indicated above during a period, which may not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies in our industry. Investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table below.
