Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported expansion of Shapeways' gross margins to 46% and the 23% increase in gross profit for Q4 2023 are significant indicators of the company's financial health and operational efficiency. An increase in gross margins often reflects a successful strategy in managing production costs or shifting to higher-margin products or services. In this case, the higher contribution from software and enterprise sales suggests that Shapeways is effectively capitalizing on the higher margins these segments typically offer compared to traditional manufacturing.

The focus on the automotive vertical and the ability to support dynamic production demands with a mix of additive and traditional manufacturing capabilities could indicate a strategic positioning that allows Shapeways to benefit from the automotive industry's shift toward more flexible and innovative production methods. This could potentially open up new revenue streams and strengthen customer relationships in a high-value sector.

Market Research Analyst

The digital manufacturing industry is rapidly growing and Shapeways' position as a leader in this space suggests that they are well-placed to capitalize on industry trends. The increase in sales among top customers and traction in the automotive vertical demonstrate that the company is not only expanding its customer base but also deepening its penetration in key markets. This bodes well for future revenue growth and could be a positive signal for investors looking at the long-term prospects of the company.

Furthermore, the commitment to exploring strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value indicates that the management is proactive about considering various avenues for growth or partnerships. This could include mergers, acquisitions, or other strategic initiatives that could potentially enhance the company's market position and drive shareholder returns.

Economist

The reported financial results from Shapeways provide insight into broader economic trends, particularly the increasing importance of digital manufacturing in the global economy. A 23% increase in gross profit, coupled with significant margin expansion, often reflects not only company-specific improvements but also favorable market conditions that could indicate a rising demand for digital manufacturing solutions.

As the economy continues to integrate digital solutions across various sectors, companies like Shapeways that are at the forefront of this transformation could experience sustained growth. However, it is important to monitor how macroeconomic factors such as supply chain disruptions, labor costs and technological advancements could impact Shapeways' cost structures and margins in the long term.

- Expands Q4 2023 Gross Margins to 46% and Increases Gross Profit by 23% vs the same quarter in the prior year -
- Continues to Explore Strategic Alternatives to Maximize Shareholder Value -

NEW YORK, March 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shapeways Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHPW) (“Shapeways” or the “Company”), a leader in the large and fast-growing digital manufacturing industry, announced its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.

“Throughout 2023 we focused on executing our key strategic objectives of expanding our enterprise and software businesses,” said Greg Kress, Shapeways’ Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased to have delivered revenue and gross profit improvements in the fourth quarter both sequentially and year over year, including a 23% increase in gross profit from the same period last year. This increase in gross profit was due in part to an expansion of gross margin to 46% in the fourth quarter as we had a higher contribution from software and enterprise sales, including increased sales among our top customers. In particular, we have seen additional traction in the target automotive vertical where we support dynamic production demands with both additive and traditional manufacturing capabilities.”

“We remain dedicated to meeting evolving customer needs and the ongoing shift towards digital manufacturing solutions. Even as we are seeing these improvements and remain encouraged about our opportunity over time, the current environment remains challenging, sales cycles are elongated, and our business has not scaled as quickly as anticipated. To align with this backdrop, we have implemented a number of cost-reduction initiatives, including reductions in force completed in the fourth quarter of 2023, a reduction of new hires, and a reduction in non-critical capital and discretionary operating expenditures. We are also continuing to work with advisors to explore strategic alternatives for the business to maximize shareholder value.”

Business Updates

Enterprise manufacturing growth – Shapeways continues to increase its customer focus towards middle market and enterprise opportunities with high-quality, high-precision enterprise-level manufacturing solutions geared towards automotive customers, as well as those in medical, robotics, and other industries.

• Shapeways continues to secure Tier 1 supplier and OEM direct multi-year production volume, including a recently expanded $1.5M contract with an industry-leading American automotive manufacturer that leverages Shapeways’ expansive additive and traditional manufacturing capabilities.
• The Company continues to increase its share of wallet with existing customers on multi-year revenue projects and saw revenues for the full year from its top 250 customers grow 29% compared to last year.

Expansion into the global CNC market – Shapeways is committed to its enterprise go-to-market strategy of supporting companies across the globe with their supply chain challenges through unprecedented flexibility in production. This includes both additive and traditional manufacturing.

• Subsequent to year-end, Shapeways launched its new computer numerical control ("CNC") Instant Quote feature, which provides an opportunity for further expansion into the global CNC market. This online quoting portal allows seamless access for CNC customers and enhances Shapeways’ robust suite of enterprise manufacturing solutions.
  

Software tools and services growth – Throughout 2023, Shapeways grew revenues in its software offering which provides improved customer accessibility, increased productivity, and expanded manufacturing capabilities for its customers.

• During the year, the Company launched several key features to create a more comprehensive software offering. These included an enhancement to the ordering service and the ability for customers to source discounted materials using the MFG Materials platform.
  

Cost alignment initiatives and strategic alternatives – While the Company remains encouraged by its momentum, in light of the elongated sales cycle and near-term macroeconomic uncertainty, in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company completed reductions in force as part of the Company's initiatives initiated in the third quarter intended to reduce operating expenses. These cost-reduction initiatives also included a reduction in new hires and a reduction in non-critical capital and discretionary operating expenditures. As a result of the cost reduction initiatives, the Company reduced its total global workforce by approximately 15%.

In addition, as previously disclosed, the Company has been working with advisors in considering its strategic alternatives, including, without limitation, a sale of a material portion of the Company’s assets, merger, business combination, liquidation of certain assets, or other strategic transaction to maximize shareholder value. Based on market checks conducted by the Company's advisors, as well as preliminary discussions with and feedback from potential purchasers, and in light of continued macroeconomic and industry pressures, the Company is actively taking steps to sell a material portion of the Company’s assets. In the course of these preliminary discussions, potential purchasers have indicated an interest in acquiring either the Company’s manufacturing business or its software business, but not both. The Company is continuing to evaluate strategic alternatives with regard to its core manufacturing and software businesses, including ongoing discussions with potential acquirers. The Company has not signed a definitive agreement with respect to either its software or manufacturing assets, and there can be no assurance that any of these processes will result in any transaction.

These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the risk that exploration of strategic alternatives may not result in any definitive transaction or enhance stockholder value and may create a distraction or uncertainty that may adversely affect our operating results, business, or investor perceptions; changes in domestic and foreign business, financial, geopolitical, legal, and market conditions, including supply chain disruptions and inflationary or recessionary pressures; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; difficulties integrating acquired companies; ability to retain customers of acquired companies or otherwise expand its customer base; the risk that Shapeways has a history of losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future; the risk that the Company faces significant competition and expects to face increasing competition in many aspects; the risk that the digital manufacturing industry is a relatively new and emerging market and it is uncertain whether it will gain widespread acceptance; the risk that the Company's new and existing solutions and software do not achieve sufficient market acceptance; the loss of key personnel; the inability to timely and effectively scale the Company's platform; and those factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in Shapeways’ most recent Form 10-K, most recent Form 10-Q, and other documents Shapeways has filed, or will file, with the SEC.

These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's assessments of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to Shapeways’ results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), Shapeways believes that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, is useful in evaluating its operational performance. Shapeways uses this non-U.S. GAAP financial information to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Shapeways believes that this non-U.S. GAAP financial information, when reviewed collectively with its U.S. GAAP results, may be helpful to investors in assessing its operating performance.

Shapeways defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding interest expense, net of interest income, impairment costs, write-offs, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, change in fair value of earnout liability, income tax expense, acquisition costs, restructuring costs and other (which includes other income and non-operating gains and losses).

Shapeways believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends because it eliminates the effect of financing and capital expenditures and provides investors with a means to compare its financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to investors. However, you should be aware that when evaluating Adjusted EBITDA Shapeways may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, Shapeways’ presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Shapeways compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its U.S. GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Shapeways’ business.
