Insights

Desktop Metal's Q2 2024 results paint a challenging picture for the 3D printing industry leader. The company reported $38.9 million in revenue, a significant 27% decrease from the $53.3 million reported in the same quarter last year. This decline reflects the broader macroeconomic headwinds facing the industry, including rising interest rates and slowing capital expenditure budgets.

The company's net loss widened to $103.4 million, primarily due to one-time non-cash charges related to accelerated amortization and depreciation. While concerning, it's important to note that the Adjusted EBITDA of $(13.2) million shows a 12% year-over-year improvement, indicating some progress in operational efficiency.

Desktop Metal's cost reduction efforts are evident in the 22% year-over-year improvement in non-GAAP operating expenses, which decreased to $27 million. However, the GAAP operating expenses increased to $69.1 million due to the aforementioned accelerated amortization and depreciation from discontinued operations.

A bright spot in the report is the 27% increase in services revenue to $7.5 million, suggesting growing support for the existing customer base. This could be a potential area for future growth and stability.

The company's cash position of $46.7 million at the end of Q2, coupled with a 40% reduction in operating cash consumption compared to the same quarter last year, provides some short-term stability. However, the removal of financial guidance for the remainder of the year due to the pending acquisition by Nano Dimension adds uncertainty to the company's standalone future.

Overall, while Desktop Metal has made strides in cost reduction and operational efficiency, the significant revenue decline and widening net loss underscore the challenges faced by the 3D printing industry in the current economic climate. The proposed merger with Nano Dimension may indeed be a necessary step to ensure the company's long-term viability and competitiveness in a challenging market.

The Q2 2024 results from Desktop Metal offer valuable insights into the current state of the 3D printing market. The 27% year-over-year revenue decline to $38.9 million is a clear indicator of the broader challenges facing the industry. This downturn can be attributed to several factors, including rising interest rates, which make capital investments less attractive and a general slowdown in capital expenditure budgets across industries.

A particularly concerning trend noted in the report is the increasing hesitancy of customers to close deals due to Desktop Metal's weakening financial outlook. This suggests a potential crisis of confidence in the 3D printing sector, which could have ripple effects throughout the industry. It's possible that other players in the space may face similar challenges in the coming quarters.

On a positive note, the 27% increase in services revenue to $7.5 million indicates a growing demand for support services. This trend could signal a shift in the industry towards a more service-oriented model, potentially offering a more stable revenue stream for 3D printing companies.

The launch of new products like the PureSinter™ Furnace and the qualification of platinum for the DM Production System demonstrate ongoing innovation in the sector. However, the impact of these developments may be in the short term given the current market conditions.

The proposed merger with Nano Dimension is a significant development that could reshape the competitive landscape of the 3D printing industry. This consolidation might be the first of many as companies seek to strengthen their positions in a challenging market.

Looking ahead, the 3D printing industry may need to adapt to a new reality of tighter budgets and more cautious customers. Companies that can offer cost-effective solutions, expand their service offerings and demonstrate clear ROI to customers are likely to be better positioned in this evolving market landscape.

Announced definitive merger agreement for a proposed business combination with Nano Dimension

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Desktop Metal, Inc. (NYSE: DM), a global leader in Additive Manufacturing 2.0 technologies for mass production, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“Since the beginning of 2022, Desktop Metal has worked tirelessly to align our cost structure with macroeconomic realities, making hard decisions about the business. By the end of Q1 we had delivered nine quarters of non-GAAP opex reduction and brought our cash burn down dramatically. I am proud of the progress we have shown,” said Ric Fulop, Founder and CEO of Desktop Metal.

“However, despite these efforts, we've faced an increasingly challenging business environment as a result of rising rates, slowing capex budgets and other macro related challenges. We began to notice a concerning trend towards the end of this quarter with customers becoming hesitant to engage in closing deals due to our weakening financial outlook making it more difficult to reach our targets.

“This feedback from the market was a clear signal that we needed to take action. The proposed combination with Nano Dimension represents the best path forward for Desktop Metal and all of our stakeholders. This merger offers several key benefits that we expect will strengthen our competitive position and preserve shareholder value.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP operating expense, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

We define non-GAAP gross margin as GAAP gross margin excluding the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring, acquisition-related and integration costs, and inventory step-up adjustments
We define non-GAAP operating loss as GAAP operating loss excluding the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring, inventory step-up adjustments, and acquisition-related and integration costs
We define non-GAAP net loss as GAAP net loss excluding the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring, inventory step-up adjustments, acquisition-related and integration costs, and change in fair value of investments
We define non-GAAP operating expense as GAAP operating expense excluding the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring, and acquisition-related and integration costs including in operating expenses
We define EBITDA as GAAP net income (loss) excluding interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense
We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding change in fair value of investments, inventory step-up adjustments, stock-based compensation, restructuring, and acquisition-related and integration costs

In addition to Desktop Metal’s results determined in accordance with GAAP, Desktop Metal’s management uses this non-GAAP financial information to evaluate the Company’s ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors in assessing Desktop Metal’s operating performance.

We believe that the use of Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP operating expense, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends because it eliminates the effect of financing, capital expenditures, and non-cash expenses such as stock-based compensation and warrants, and provides investors with a means to compare Desktop Metal’s financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, investors should be aware that when evaluating non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP operating expense, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate these measures in the same fashion.

Because of these limitations, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP operating expense, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP operating expense, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. Management uses, and investors should consider, our non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with our GAAP results. Desktop Metal has not provided a reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to net income because estimates of all of the reconciling items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this press release to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
