STRATASYS RELEASES THIRD QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS

  • Revenue of $162.1 million, essentially flat with third quarter 2022, up 3.3% at constant currency excluding MakerBot and Stratasys Direct divestments
  • Record-level recurring revenue for consumables reflects strong printer utilization
  • GAAP net loss of $47.3 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income of $2.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share
  • Ninth straight quarter of adjusted profitability
  • Updating 2023 outlook

 

 

Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS) (“Stratasys” or the “Company”), a leader in polymer 3D printing solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results Compared to Third Quarter 2022:

  • Revenue of $162.1 million compared to $162.2 million.
  • GAAP gross margin of 40.5%, compared to 43.6%.
  • Non-GAAP gross margin of 48.3%, compared to 48.5%.
  • GAAP operating loss of $42.8 million, which includes $17.3 million of costs related to merger and acquisition activities, defense against hostile tender offer, proxy contest and related professional fees, compared to an operating loss of $15.6 million.
  • Non-GAAP operating income of $4.1 million, compared to $4.5 million.
  • GAAP net loss of $47.3 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to net income of $18.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, which net income in Q3 2022 included a one-time $39.1M gain from the MakerBot deconsolidation.
  • Non-GAAP net income of $2.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $3.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $9.8 million, compared to $9.9 million.
  • Cash used in operations of $12.7 million, compared to $18.4 million in the year-ago quarter, due to the costs related to mergers and acquisitions activities, defense against a hostile tender offer, a proxy contest and related professional fees. Excluding these one-time payments, operating cash flow for the third quarter of 2023 would have been positive.

Dr. Yoav Zeif, Stratasys’ Chief Executive Officer stated, “During the third quarter, Stratasys delivered solid operating and financial results, highlighted by record recurring revenues from consumables, reflecting solid printer utilization. Our relentless focus on execution allowed us to deliver comparable results to the year-ago quarter for revenues, non-GAAP margins and adjusted EBITDA, as well as our ninth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted earnings per share.”

Dr. Zeif continued, “We want to acknowledge the tremendous support we have received from partners, customers, investors and our industry since the tragic events in Israel. We especially want to thank our employees who have performed in an exemplary fashion during these challenging times. Our operations have been fully functional, allowing us to continue delivering industry-leading results. We have streamlined and focused our business, while simultaneously rolling out new and exciting innovations that will expand our leadership position across systems, materials, software and customer service. Our recently introduced F3300 is the latest step in that continued evolution to unlock manufacturing benefits for our customers. Our maturity as a company, financial discipline and resilient business model position us well to deliver exceptional value for many years to come.”

2023 Financial Outlook:

Based on the divestitures in Stratasys Direct, as well as macroeconomic uncertainty in its end markets, the Company is updating its revenue guidance and its outlook for the remainder of 2023 as follows:

  • Full year revenue of $620 million to $630 million.
  • Full year non-GAAP gross margins of 48.0% to 49.0%.
  • Full year non-GAAP operating expenses in a range of $288 million to $290 million.
  • Full year non-GAAP operating margins in a range of 2.0% to 2.5%.
  • GAAP net loss of $117 million to $104 million, or ($1.70) to ($1.51) per diluted share.
  • Includes one-time extraordinary costs associated with defense of tender offer and proxy contest, and merger-related activities.
  • Non-GAAP net income of $6 million to $9 million, or $0.10 to $0.14 per diluted share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $35 million to $38 million.
  • Capital expenditures of $15 million to $20 million.

2023 non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $112 million to $121 million of expenses attributable to projected amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, and reorganization and other expenses (including the one-time extraordinary costs referenced above). 2023 non-GAAP guidance includes tax adjustments of $2 million to $3 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.

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; the outcome of our board’s comprehensive process to explore strategic alternatives for our company; the degree to which our company’s operations remain resistant to potential adverse effects of Israel’s war against the terrorist organization Hamas; 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, high 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 Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K that attaches Stratasys’ unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements and its review of its results of operations and financial condition for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, which will be furnished to the SEC on or about the date hereof, 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.
