Discussion of Results of Operations

Revenues

Our products and services revenues in the first quarter of each of 2019 and 2018, as well as the percentage change reflected thereby, were as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
      2019       2018       % Change
U.S. $ in thousands      
Products $ 105,091 $ 103,917 1.1 %
Services 50,209 49,916 0.6 %
$     155,300 $     153,833             1.0 %

Products Revenues

Revenues derived from products (including AM systems and consumable materials) increased by $1.2 million, or 1.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in products revenues was driven by an increase in our consumables revenues and systems revenues, which was partially offset by a decrease due to the divestiture of certain entities and the unfavorable impact of foreign currencies translation.

Systems revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by 0.8% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in systems revenues was driven primarily by increased unit sales in North America, and was partially offset by the impact of the divestiture during the third quarter of 2018 of our former subsidiary Solidscape.

2


Consumables revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by 1.4% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in consumables revenues reflected the utilization of our installed base of systems, and was partially offset by the impact of the divestiture during the third quarter of 2018 of our former subsidiary Solidscape.

Services Revenues

Services revenues (including SDM, maintenance contracts, time and materials and other services) increased by $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, or 0.6%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Within services revenues, customer support revenue, which includes revenue generated mainly by maintenance contracts on our systems, increased by 1.4%, reflecting the growth in our installed base of systems. The increase in services revenues was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currencies translation.

Revenues by Region

Revenues and the percentage of revenues by region for the first quarter of each of 2019 and 2018, as well as the percentage change in revenues in each such region reflected thereby, were as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
2019 2018 % Change
% of U.S. $ in % of
      U.S. $ in thousands       Revenues       thousands       Revenues

*      

Represent the United States, Canada and Latin America

Revenues in the Americas region increased by $8.6 million, or 9.8%, to $96.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $87.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by higher systems and consumables revenues.

Revenues in the EMEA region decreased by $4.2 million, or 10.7%, to $34.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $39.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of the divestiture of our former subsidiary Solidscape and lower systems revenues. On a constant currency basis when using prior period’s exchange rates, revenues decreased by $1.6 million, or 4.2%, reflecting a decrease in systems revenues mainly driven by the impact of the divestiture of our former subsidiary Solidscape, partially offset by an increase in consumables and services revenues.

Revenues in the Asia Pacific region decreased by $2.9 million, or 10.9%, to $24.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $26.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by lower systems revenues.

Gross profit attributable to products revenues increased by $2.2 million, or 3.8%, to $60.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to gross profit of $58.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Gross profit attributable to products revenues as a percentage of products revenues increased to 58.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to gross profit of 56.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The increase in gross profit attributable to products revenues was primarily driven by product mix, higher revenue volume and lower amortization expense, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currencies translation.

Gross profit attributable to services revenues decreased by $1.4 million, or 8.4%, to $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $17.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Gross profit attributable to services revenues as a percentage of services revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased to 30.9%, as compared to 34.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Our gross profit from services revenues was impacted by the mix of revenue sources, as well as an unfavorable impact of foreign currencies translation.

Operating Expenses

The amount of each type of operating expense for the first quarter of each of 2019 and 2018, 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,
2019 2018 % Change
U.S. $ in thousands
Research and development, net       $      22,574       $      25,110            -10.1 %
Selling, general & administrative 57,154 57,005 0.3 %
$ 79,728 $ 82,115 -2.9 %
 
Percentage of revenues 51.3 % 53.4 %

Research and development expenses, net decreased by $2.5 million, or 10.1%, to $22.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $25.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The amount of research and development expenses constituted 14.5% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to 16.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Our research and development expenses were impacted by the timing of project spending and product launches and the impact of the divestiture of certain entities. Our research and development expenses, net reflects our commitment to invest in long-term initiatives that include advancements in our core FDM and PolyJet technologies, as well as our new metal additive manufacturing platform, advanced composite materials, and software and application development.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were relatively flat as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The amount of selling, general and administrative expenses constituted 36.8% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to 37.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Operating Loss

Operating loss and operating loss as a percentage of our total revenues were as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
2019 2018
      U.S. $ in thousands
Operating loss $ (3,271 )       $ (6,465 )
                 
Percentage of revenues -2.1 % -4.2 %

Operating loss amounted to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to an operating loss of $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in operating loss was primarily attributable to lower operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, as discussed above.

Financial Income, net

Financial income, net, which was primarily comprised of foreign currencies effects, interest income and interest expense, was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to financial income, net of $0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Income Taxes

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

Three Months Ended
March 31,
2019 2018
U.S. $ in thousands Change in %
Income tax expense       $      1,218       $      601                   102.7 %
                       
As a percent of loss before income taxes -48.4 % -9.3 % 419.7 %

We had a negative effective tax rate of 48.4% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, compared to a negative effective tax rate of 9.3% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018. Our effective tax rate was primarily impacted by different geographic mixes of earnings and losses, as well as a valuation allowance on losses of our US subsidiaries.

Share in Profits (Losses) of Associated Companies

Share in profit (losses) of associated companies reflects our proportionate share of the earnings of unconsolidated entities accounted for by using the equity method of accounting. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the profit from our proportionate share of the earnings of our equity method investments was $1.4 million, compared to a loss of $6.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The difference is primarily due to an in-process research and development (IPR&D) write-off of $5.0 million recorded during the first quarter of 2018 due to the Evolve transaction, as opposed to a gain resulting from our divestment of one of our equity method investments during the first quarter of 2019.

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

Net loss attributable to Stratasys Ltd., and diluted net loss per share were as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
       2019        2018
U.S. $ in thousands
Net loss attributable to Stratasys Ltd. $      (2,270 ) $      (13,041 )
                 
Percentage of revenues -1.5 % -8.5 %
                 
Diluted net loss per share $ (0.04 ) $ (0.24 )

Net loss attributable to Stratasys Ltd. was $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to net loss of $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in the net loss attributable to Stratasys Ltd. was primarily attributable to decreased operating expenses, as well as an increase in share in profits of associated companies, as described above.

Diluted net loss per share was $0.04 and $0.24 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The weighted average fully diluted share count was 54.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 53.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

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 mergers, acquisitions and divestments related expense or gains and reorganization-related charges or gains, and (y) 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 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.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period 393,734 329,359
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period $ 368,416 $ 347,153

Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance decreased to $368.4 million as of March 31, 2019 from $393.7 million as of December 31, 2018. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to net cash used in financing activities in an amount of $25.1 million and the cash used in investing activities in the amount of $5.7 million, partially offset by net cash provided by operating activities of $4.6 million.

Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance increased to $347.2 million at March 31, 2018 from $329.4 million at December 31, 2017.

Cash flows from operating activities

We generated $4.6 million of cash from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019. That cash generation reflects our $2.3 million net loss, as adjusted upwards to eliminate non-cash charges included in net loss, including $12.7 million of depreciation and amortization and $4.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by downwards adjustments to reflect the unfavorable changes in our working capital balances and to eliminate non-cash changes in our other assets and liabilities, in an aggregate amount of $8.7 million. The unfavorable impact of our working capital balances was driven by timing of tax payments, and proactive steps to increase inventory levels in order to increase lead time and support product demand.

We generated $27.1 million of cash from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018. That cash generation reflects our net loss of $13.1 million, as adjusted upwards to eliminate non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization of $15.4 million, and to reflect the favorable changes to our working capital and our other assets and liabilities, in an aggregate amount of $17.2 million.

Cash flows from investing activities

We used $5.7 million of cash in our investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Cash was primarily used to invest $6.1 million to purchase property and equipment. 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.

9


We used $9.3 million of cash in our investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Cash was primarily used to invest $7.6 million to purchase property and equipment.

Cash flows from financing activities

We used $25.1 million of cash in our financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Cash used for financing activities was mainly attributable to the early repayment of the full outstanding principal amount of our long-term loan in an amount of $27.3 million. Cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to proceeds of $2.2 million from the exercise of stock options.

We used $0.3 million of cash in our financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Cash used by financing activities was mainly attributable to the repayment of the quarterly installments of our long-term loan in an amount of $1.3 million, partially offset by proceeds of $1.0 million from the exercise of stock options.

Capital resources and capital expenditures

Our total current assets amounted to $659.0 million as of March 31, 2019, of which $368.4 million consisted of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Total current liabilities amounted to $171.8 million. Most of our cash and cash equivalents are held in banks in Israel 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 exposure related to our accounts receivable by imposing credit limits, by conducting ongoing credit evaluation, and by implementing account monitoring procedures, as well as credit insurance for many of our customers.

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 working capital needs for the next twelve months.

Long-Term Bank Loan and Credit Line

In December 2016, our company entered into a secured loan agreement with Bank Hapoalim Ltd. in connection with our new office facility in Israel, which agreement we refer to as the Bank Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Bank Loan Agreement, our company borrowed $26 million initially in December 2016, which we refer to as the Bank Loan, and secured a credit line for an additional $24 million, or the Credit Line. Any loans to be drawn upon the Credit Line were to be under similar terms as the Bank Loan. The Bank Loan was to mature in December 2023 and was payable in equal consecutive quarterly principal installments of principal and accrued interest. Any early repayment of the Bank Loan was subject to, within the initial three year term of the Bank Loan, a maximum 1% penalty of the amount prepaid. The repayment of the Bank Loan was secured by a first-priority lien on all of our company’s rights in the property of our new office facility in Israel. The Bank Loan bore interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3.35%. The Bank Loan Agreement contained customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and negative covenants, which included, without limitation, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, and certain dispositions with respect to the property secured by the lien.

The Bank Loan Agreement also contained customary events of default that entitled the lender to cause any or all of our company's indebtedness to become immediately due and payable and to foreclose on the lien, and included customary grace periods before certain events were to be deemed events of default. Borrowings under the Bank Loan Agreement were available mainly for the financing of our new facility in Israel.

As indicated above (under “Cash flows from financing activities”), in the first quarter of 2019, we repaid the full outstanding principal amount of the Bank Loan, in an aggregate amount of $27.3 million, plus all interest accrued thereon, thereby fulfilling all of our remaining obligations under the Bank Loan Agreement. In connection with the repayment, the first-priority lien on all of our rights with respect to the property of our new office facility in Israel was removed.

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 2018 Annual Report. We base our judgments on our experience and various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
