Dr. Yoav Zeif, Stratasys’ Chief Executive Officer stated, “Leveraging our position in polymer additive manufacturing, resilient business model and strong financial profile, Stratasys once again delivered solid operating and financial results despite persistent macroeconomic headwinds. For the second consecutive quarter we delivered record revenues from both consumables and customer service, demonstrating the growth in utilization of our systems even as customer capital budgets remain constrained. Our relentless focus on execution continued to drive meaningful improvements in adjusted gross margins both sequentially and year over year, as we delivered our eighth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted earnings per share.”

Dr. Zeif continued, “I would like to thank our employees who have continued to maintain their focus, furthering the execution of our strategy with excellence and helping to make Stratasys the healthiest and strongest-growing business in our industry. Despite the various M&A scenarios emerging in the industry, customers across all of our technologies remain highly engaged and confident in Stratasys as we continue to look for ways to expand our innovation and suite of offerings. The addition of Covestro’s Additive Manufacturing business has yielded immediate results, and our expected combination with Desktop Metal will create comprehensive offerings across the industrial landscape. Additive manufacturing is on the edge of tremendous growth as customers accelerate the use of our technologies at production scale. Together with our fortress balance sheet and resilient business model, we are well-positioned to drive profitable growth as we continue to create shareholder value.”

2023 Financial Outlook:

Based on current market conditions and assuming that the impacts of global inflationary pressures, interest rate hikes and supply chain costs do not impede economic activity further, the Company is reiterating its revenue guidance and the remainder of its outlook for 2023, other than GAAP earnings, as follows:

  • Full year revenue of $630 million to $670 million.
  • Sequential quarterly revenue growth, notably higher in the second half.
  • Based on current logistics and materials costs, full year non-GAAP gross margins of 48.0% to 49.0%, with a majority of the year-over-year improvement in the second half of 2023.
  • Full year non-GAAP operating expenses in the range of $290 million to $300 million.
  • Full year non-GAAP operating margins in a range of 2.5% to 3.5%, with improving profitable margins as the year progresses.
  • GAAP net loss of $115 million to $96 million, or ($1.66) to ($1.39) per diluted share, which includes one-time extraordinary costs associated with the proxy contest and merger-related activities.
  • Non-GAAP net income of $9 million to $17 million, or $0.12 to $0.24 per diluted share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $35 million to $50 million.
  • Capital expenditures of $20 million to $25 million.

2023 non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $30 million to $32 million of projected amortization of intangible assets, $28 million to $30 million of share-based compensation expense, and reorganization, one-time extraordinary costs associated with the proxy contest and merger-related activities and other expenses of $53 million to $59 million. 2023 non-GAAP guidance includes tax adjustments of $2 million to $3 million on the above non-GAAP items.

Medium Term Financial Forecast:

In addition, the Company is reiterating its forecast for key annual financial metrics:

  • 2024 gross margin above 50% and positive free cash flow.
  • 2026 revenues to grow organically to greater than $1 billion, with adjusted EBITDA margin of 15% or greater.

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.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The statements in this press release regarding Stratasys' strategy, and the statements regarding its projected future financial performance, including the financial guidance concerning its expected results for 2023 and beyond, are forward-looking statements reflecting management's current expectations and beliefs. 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 global macro-economic environment, including headwinds caused by inflation, rising interest rates, unfavorable currency exchange rates and potential recessionary conditions, 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; 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, 2022, which we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 3, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”). Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made throughout our 2022 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 2023, which will be furnished to the SEC throughout 2023, 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, and 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.
