  • The Company invested a net amount of $22.5 million in R&D projects (non-GAAP basis) during the second quarter, representing 12% of revenues.
  • The Company used $15.6 million in cash for operations during the second quarter, and currently holds approximately $502.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, and short term bank deposits. The cash balance includes a $175 million drawdown on the Company’s revolving credit facility.
  • Non-GAAP EBITDA for the second quarter amounted to $12.1 million.
  • The Company sold 6,731 3D printing and additive manufacturing systems during the second quarter, and has sold a total of 135,928 systems worldwide as of June 30, 2015, on a pro forma combined basis.

“The merger between Stratasys and Objet in 2012 created synergies that combined with the heightened level of mainstream media attention within our industry, have contributed to a period of extraordinary growth for our company and industry over the past two years,” said David Reis, chief executive officer of Stratasys. “We believe our industry is transitioning through a period of slower growth, as users digest their investments in 3D printing and expand the utilization of recently acquired capacity. Despite these headwinds, and certain ongoing macroeconomic challenges in Asia, we are encouraged by sequential improvement in areas of our business, and remain optimistic about our longer-term growth prospects.”

Business Highlights:

  • Strengthened presence in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria through the acquisition of a key German channel partner, RTC Rapid Technologies GmbH; and made additional North American channel enhancements with the addition of W.D. Distributing, WYNIT, and Sam’s Club.
  • Partnered with CAD industry leader PTC, to provide improved integration between PTC Creo product design software and Stratasys 3D Printing Solutions.
  • Enhanced high-end system capabilities with release of the Objet1000 Plus 3D Production System, providing significant speed improvements; as well as introduced a new high-volume filament packaging solution for Fortus 3D Production Systems.
  • Observed significant expansion within the dental vertical, including the further adoption of our Stratasys PolyJet based solutions for the production of custom-made orthodontic products.
  • Announced a multi-year collaboration with the Kangshua Group that includes providing up to 1,000 Solidscape high precision 3D printers to equip multiple new service bureaus and innovation centers in China; as well as the opening of a manufacturing facility, by Kangshua, to locally assemble Solidscape 3D printers for the Chinese market.
  • Reorganized the MakerBot channel in Europe and Asia to help leverage the existing Stratasys go-to-market infrastructure within those regions.
  • Completed a customer event for Stratasys Direct Manufacturing (SDM) that reached 239 customers and introduced the combined SDM organization as a total solution provider that focuses on applications from prototype to production.

“We are observing positive indicators and are beginning to see tangible results that reaffirm our strategy of developing targeted solutions within key market verticals,” continued Reis. “Short-term, we will continue to make adjustments to our expenses to align with current market conditions. Long-term, we remain committed to our growth initiatives that include enhancing vertical solution capabilities, expanding customer support services, accelerating product development, and growing the sales and marketing infrastructure – all of which are designed to drive future growth.”

2015 Guidance

Due to the Company’s limited visibility regarding the timing of improvements in growth, the Company has withdrawn its previously delivered full year 2015 financial guidance, and instead has provided financial guidance for the third quarter of 2015 as follows:

  • Total revenue in the range of $175 to $190 million, with non-GAAP net income in the range of $1.5 to $7.0 million, or $0.03 to $0.13 per diluted share.
  • GAAP net loss of $27.0 million to $22.5 million, or ($0.52) to ($0.43) per share.
  • Non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $18 million of projected amortization of intangible assets; $9.5 million to $10.0 million of share-based compensation expense; $7 million to $8 million in non-recurring expenses related to acquisitions; and includes $6.0 million to $6.5 million in tax expenses related to non-GAAP adjustments.
