ROCK HILL, S.C., Feb. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) today announced that it will delay its fourth quarter and full year 2020 conference call, previously scheduled for February 25, 2021.

3D Systems will release its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2020 and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K after the U.S. stock markets close on Monday, March 1, 2021. The company will hold a conference call and simultaneous webcast to discuss these financial results the next morning, Tuesday, March 2, 2021, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.

In the course of preparing the company’s financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2020, the company discovered certain internal control deficiencies. As a result, the company may report one or more material weaknesses in internal controls in its upcoming fiscal 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of the date of this release, there have been no misstatements identified in prior year financial statements as a result of these deficiencies, and the company expects to timely file its Form 10-K on March 1, 2021. Please refer to the upcoming fiscal 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

The company is reaffirming preliminary financial data for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 previously announced on January 7, 2021. The company continues to expect revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 will be in the range of $170 million to $176 million, fourth quarter GAAP operating (loss) income will be in the range of $(8.6) million to $0.5 million, and fourth quarter non-GAAP operating income in the range of $11 million to $19 million⁽¹⁾. The GAAP operating loss for Q4 2019 was $(4.7) million and for Q3 2020 was $(67.6) million. The expected fourth quarter 2020 non-GAAP operating income range compares favorably to the non-GAAP operating income of $5.6M reported in Q4 2019 and $0.0M reported in Q3 2020.

The preliminary financial data above remains subject to audit, review or other procedures by the company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
