Discussion of Results of Operations

Revenues

Our products and services revenues in the first quarter of each of 2017 and 2016, as well as the percentage change reflected thereby, were as follows:

      Three Months Ended March 31,
2017       2016       % Change
U.S. $ in thousands  
Products $       115,087 $      118,634 -3.0%
Services 48,075 49,272 -2.4%
$ 163,162 $ 167,906 -2.8%

Products Revenues

Revenues derived from products (including AM systems and consumable materials) decreased by $3.5 million, or 3.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in products revenues was driven by a decrease in our systems revenues and was partially offset by an increase in our consumables revenues.

The decrease in systems revenues of 10.9% was driven primarily by lower sales volumes, as well as shift in our product mix, with low-end systems constituting a higher portion of our systems sold, which reflects the launch of our F123 series.

Consumables revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased by 6.8% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was driven primarily by the favorable effect of our growing installed base of systems and high performance consumable materials offerings for use in new applications.

17



Services Revenues

Services revenues (including SDM, maintenance contracts, spare parts and other services) decreased by $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, or 2.4 %, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in services revenues was primarily attributable to a decrease in SDM revenues, partially offset by an increase in maintenance contracts and service parts, reflecting our growing installed base of systems.

Revenues by Region

Revenues and the percentage of revenues by region for the first quarter of each of 2017 and 2016, as well as the percentage change in revenues in each such region reflected thereby, were as follows:

      Three Months Ended March 31,
2017       2016       % Change
U.S.$ in        % of U.S.$ in        % of
thousands Revenues thousands Revenues
North America $      99,621 61.0% $      98,038 58.4% 1.6%
EMEA 34,065 20.9% 34,641 20.6% -1.7%

$ 163,162 100.0% $ 167,906 100.0% -2.8%

Revenues in the North America region increased by $1.6 million, or 1.6%, to $99.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $98.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily driven by higher products revenues, partially offset by lower services revenues due to lower SDM revenues.

Revenues in the EMEA region decreased by $0.6 million, or 1.7%, to $34.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $34.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower systems revenues, partially offset by higher consumables and services revenues. Revenues in the EMEA region for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased by approximately 3.0% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, on a constant currency basis when using the prior period’s exchange rates.

Revenues in the Asia Pacific region decreased by $5.6 million, or 16.9%, to $27.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $32.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower systems revenues, partially offset by higher consumables and services revenues.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for our products and services for the first quarter of each of 2017 and 2016, as well as the percentage change reflected thereby, were as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,      
2017       2016
U.S. $ in thousands Change in %
Gross profit attributable to:
Products $             60,607 $             61,696 -1.8%
Services 16,273 19,473 -16.4%
$ 76,880 $ 81,169 -5.3%

18



Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for our products and services, as well as for our overall revenues, was as follows for the first quarter of each of 2017 and 2016:

Three Months Ended March 31,
2017       2016
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues from:
Products                     52.7%                     52.0%
Services 33.8% 39.5%
Total gross profit 47.1% 48.3%

Gross profit attributable to products revenues decreased by $1.1 million, or 1.8%, to $60.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to gross profit of $61.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Gross profit attributable to products revenues as a percentage of products revenues increased to 52.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to gross profit of 52.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The decrease in gross profit attributable to products revenues was primarily driven by a shift in sales mix, as described above, partially offset by higher consumables revenues and lower amortization expense of $4.7 million, as well as lower payroll-related and other overhead expenses.

Gross profit attributable to services revenues decreased by $3.2 million, or 16.4 %, to $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $19.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Gross profit attributable to services revenues as a percentage of services revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased to 33.8%, as compared to 39.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in gross profit from services revenues primarily reflects lower SDM revenues with no correlated reduction in fixed expenses.

Operating Expenses

The amount of each type of operating expense for the first quarter of each of 2017 and 2016, as well as the percentage change reflected thereby, and total operating expenses as a percentage of our total revenues in each such quarter, were as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
2017       2016       % Change
U.S. $ in thousands
Research and development, net $      24,634 $      25,115 -1.9%
Selling, general & administrative 64,179 76,387 -16.0%
Change in fair value of obligations in  
connection with acquisitions 696 727 -4.3%
$ 89,509 $ 102,229 -12.4%
Percentage of revenues 54.9 % 60.9 %

Research and development expenses, net slightly decreased by $0.5 million, or 1.9%, to $24.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $25.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The amount of research and development expenses constituted 15.1% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to 15.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and employee-related personnel expenses, materials, laboratory supplies, costs for related software and costs for facilities. Based on our analysis of our key vertical markets, we maintain our intention to continue to invest in research and development in order to accelerate innovation and to introduce a broad range of hardware, materials and software solutions in order to sustain our leadership position in the 3D printing ecosystem. In addition, we continue with our portfolio transformation to enable prioritization and realignment of our projects that further focus our resources and designed for our customers’ use cases and their specific applicative needs.

19



Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $12.2 million, or 16.0%, to $64.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to $76.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The amount of selling, general and administrative expenses constituted 39.3% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to 45.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The decrease in our selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by reductions in payroll related expense and facilities related expense, which reflect the effective implementation of our costs reduction initiatives, which reduced certain of our variable and fixed expenses.

Changes in fair value of obligations in connection with acquisitions resulted in losses of $0.7 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 2016. The changes in fair value of obligations in connection with acquisitions were due to revaluation of the deferred consideration as part of the Solid Concepts transaction. For further information, see note 6 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 6-K.

Operating Loss

Operating loss and operating loss as a percentage of our total revenues, were as follows for the first quarter of each of 2017 and 2016:

Three Months Ended March 31,
2017       2016
  U.S. $ in thousands
Operating loss $        (12,629 ) $        (21,060 )
Percentage of revenues -7.7 % -12.5 %

Operating loss amounted to $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to an operating loss of $21.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in operating loss was primarily attributable to lower operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as discussed above.

Financial income, net

Financial income, net, which was primarily comprised of foreign currencies effects, interest income and interest expense, amounted to $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes and income taxes as a percentage of net loss before taxes for the first quarter of each of 2017 and 2016, as well as the percentage change in each reflected thereby, were as follows:

We had a negative effective tax rate of 10.7% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 compared to a negative effective tax rate of 11.0% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. Our effective tax rate was primarily impacted by different geographic mixes of earnings and losses.

Net Loss Attributable to Stratasys Ltd. and Net Loss Per Share

Net loss attributable to Stratasys Ltd., and diluted net loss per share, for the first quarter of each of 2017 and 2016, were as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
2017       2016
U.S. $ in thousands
Net loss attributable to Stratasys Ltd. $        (13,857 ) $        (23,141 )

Net loss attributable to Stratasys Ltd. was $13.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to net loss of $23.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease of the net loss attributable to Stratasys Ltd. was primarily attributable to lower operating expenses, partially offset by lower revenues.

Diluted net loss per share was $0.26 and $0.44 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The weighted average fully diluted share count was 52.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to 52.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Supplemental Operating Results on a Non-GAAP Basis

The following non-GAAP data, 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 (x) on an ongoing basis after excluding merger and acquisition related expense and reorganization-related charges, and (y) excluding non-cash items such as stock-based compensation expenses, acquired intangible assets amortization, impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets, changes in fair value of obligations in connection with acquisitions and the corresponding tax effect of those items. We also exclude, when applicable, non-recurring changes of non-cash valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, as well as non-recurring significant tax charges or benefits that relate to prior periods which we do not believe are reflective of ongoing business and operating results. 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.

Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period 280,328 257,592
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period $ 297,246 $ 213,176

Our cash and cash equivalents balance increased to $297.2 million at March 31, 2017 from $280.3 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in cash and cash equivalents in the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to net cash provided by operating activities in an amount of $25.4 million, partially offset by net cash used in investing activities of $9.5 million.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased to $213.2 million at March 31, 2016 from $257.6 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to net cash used in investing activities in an amount of $77.6 million, partially offset by net cash provided by operating activities of $31.6 million.

Cash flows from operating activities

We generated $25.4 million of cash from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our $14.0 million net loss was adjusted due to non-cash charges such as $16.6 million of depreciation and amortization and $3.9 million of stock-based compensation expense. As we continue to seek operating efficiencies also through an active working capital management, $20.5 million of changes in our working capital balances and other assets and liabilities increased our cash flow provided by operating activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, our working capital management activities included monitoring our cash collections and cash payments, which resulted in a $6.1 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $3.8 million increase in our accounts payable.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we generated $31.6 million of cash from operating activities. The net loss of $23.2 million was adjusted primarily due to $23.5 million of depreciation and amortization and $5.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, as well as favorably affected by $29.4 million of changes in working capital and other assets and liabilities.

23



Cash flows from investing activities

We used $9.5 million of cash in our investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017. Cash was primarily used to invest $6.3 million to purchase property and equipment and for certain strategic investments in unconsolidated entities.

Our principal property and equipment purchases were for our new buildings complex under construction in Rehovot, Israel. The new facility in Rehovot, Israel, which will contain two buildings, houses our Israeli headquarters, research and development facilities and certain marketing activities. We entered the first building in January 2017. Other equipment purchases were primarily for building improvements in the United States and Israel.

We used $77.6 million of cash in our investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Cash was primarily used for short-term bank deposits of $67.3 million and for purchases of property and equipment in an amount of $7.6 million.

Cash flows from financing activities

We used $0.4 million of cash in our financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017. Cash used by financing activities was mainly attributed to the quarterly repayment of our long-term loan in an amount of $0.9 million, partially offset by proceeds of $0.5 million from the exercise of stock options.

Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 included $0.1 million of cash from the exercise of stock options.

Capital resources and capital expenditures

Our total current assets amounted to $565.0 million as of March 31, 2017, of which $297.2 million consisted of cash and cash equivalents. Total current liabilities amounted to $174.9 million. Most of our cash and cash equivalents are held in banks in Israel, Switzerland and the U.S.

The credit risk related to our accounts receivable is limited due to the relatively large number of customers and their wide geographic distribution. In addition, we seek to reduce the credit exposures of our accounts receivable by credit limits, credit insurance for many of our customers, ongoing credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures.

We believe that we will have adequate cash and cash equivalents to fund our ongoing operations and that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our capital expenditure and debt requirements for the next twelve months.

Long-Term Bank Loan and Credit Line

Under the secured loan agreement that we entered into with Bank Hapoalim Ltd. in December 2016, our company borrowed $26 million initially and secured a credit line for an additional $24 million. The initial proceeds that we borrowed under the loan agreement were used for purposes related to our new office facility in Israel. The initial loan will mature in December 2023 and is payable in equal consecutive quarterly principal installments of principal and accrued interest. The repayment of the initial loan is secured by a first priority lien on all of our company’s rights in the property of our new office facility in Israel. The loan bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3.35%. As of March 31, 2017, we had not utilized the credit line.

We believe that we were in compliance with all covenants under the loan agreement as of March 31, 2017.

As part of our business strategy, we plan to consider and, as appropriate, make acquisitions of other businesses, strategic alliances, property, plant and equipment as well as new technologies and products. Our cash reserves and other liquid assets may be inadequate to consummate such acquisitions and it may be necessary for us to issue shares or raise substantial additional funds in the future to complete future transactions.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This has required us to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affected the amounts we reported. Actual results may differ from those estimates. To facilitate the understanding of our business activities, certain accounting policies that are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s subjective judgments are described in our 2016 Annual Report. We base our judgments on our experience and various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations

Certain information included in or incorporated by reference into the Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K to which this Operating and Financial Review is appended, or the Form 6-K, may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “project,” “plan,” “assume” or other similar expressions, or negatives of those expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our future strategy, future operations, projected financial position, proposed products, estimated future revenues, projected costs, future prospects, the future of our industry and results that might be obtained by pursuing management’s current plans and objectives.

You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Our forward-looking statements are based on the information currently available to us and speak only as of the date of this Form 6-K.
