MINNEAPOLIS & REHOVOT, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS), a leader in polymer 3D printing solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter 2023.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results Compared to First Quarter 2022:

• Revenue of $149.4 million, 8.6% lower versus first quarter 2022.
• GAAP gross margin of 43.8%, compared to 42.6%.
• Non-GAAP gross margin of 47.3%, compared to 47.3%.
• GAAP operating loss of $16.8 million, compared to an operating loss of $19.6 million.
• Non-GAAP operating income of $1.5 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $2.0 million.
• GAAP net loss of $22.2 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $20.9 million, or $0.32 per diluted share.
• Non-GAAP net income of $1.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $7.0 million, compared to $8.1 million.
• Planned inventory spending resulted in cash used in operations of $17.9 million, compared to cash used in operations of $16.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

Dr. Yoav Zeif, Stratasys’ Chief Executive Officer stated, “Stratasys continues to execute our winning strategy, driven by our broad, global, diverse set of systems, materials, and software solutions. Utilization of our systems is growing, resulting in our highest ever quarter for recurring revenues from both consumables and customer service, even as clients’ capital budgets remain constrained. Our margin profile remains strong, and we delivered our seventh consecutive quarter of positive adjusted earnings per share, demonstrating the resiliency of our business model.”

Dr. Zeif continued, “Engagement with our customers across our entire suite of existing and new technologies remains robust, and we were excited to introduce transformative new dental hardware and materials offerings that will stimulate meaningful future growth. We expect the recently closed addition of Covestro’s Additive Manufacturing business to expand our leading position in higher-margin consumables offerings and significantly increase our recurring stream of revenue. Supported by our strong balance sheet, we continue to make the investments to drive disruptive innovation, such as our partnership with CollPlant to transform regenerative medicine. We expect to deliver outsized growth and industry share gains when macroeconomic headwinds subside and the additive manufacturing industry expands.”

2023 Financial Outlook:

Based on current market conditions and assuming that the impacts of global inflationary pressures, interest rate hikes and supply chain costs do not impede economic activity further, the Company is raising its revenue guidance and reiterating the remainder of its outlook for 2023:

• Full year revenue of $630 million to $670 million.
• Sequential quarterly revenue growth, notably higher in the second half.
• Based on current logistics and materials costs, full year gross margins of 48.0% to 49.0%, with a majority of the year-over-year improvement in the second half of 2023.
• Full year-operating expenses in the range of $290 million to $300 million.
• Full year non-GAAP operating margins in a range of 2.5% to 3.5%, with improving profitable contribution through the year.
• GAAP net loss of $78 million to $57 million, or ($1.12) to ($0.83) per diluted share.
• Non-GAAP net income of $9 million to $17 million, or $0.12 to $0.24 per diluted share.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $35 million to $50 million.
• Capital expenditures of $20 million to $25 million.

2023 non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $30 million to $32 million of projected amortization of intangible assets, $28 million to $30 million of share-based compensation expense, and reorganization and other expenses of $15 million to $22 million. 2023 non-GAAP guidance includes tax adjustments of $2 million to $3 million on the above non-GAAP items.

Medium Term Financial Forecast:

In addition, the Company is providing the following forecast for key annual financial metrics:

• 2024 gross margin above 50% and positive free cash flow.
• 2026 revenues to grow organically to greater than $1 billion, with adjusted EBITDA margin over 15%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP data included herein, 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 (i) on an ongoing basis after excluding mergers, acquisitions and divestments related expense or gains and reorganization-related charges or gains, and legal provisions and (ii) 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 goodwill, revaluation of our investments 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.
