Dr. Yoav Zeif, Stratasys’ Chief Executive Officer stated, “Leveraging our position in polymer additive manufacturing, resilient business model and strong financial profile, Stratasys once again delivered solid operating and financial results despite persistent macroeconomic headwinds. For the second consecutive quarter we delivered record revenues from both consumables and customer service, demonstrating the growth in utilization of our systems even as customer capital budgets remain constrained. Our relentless focus on execution continued to drive meaningful improvements in adjusted gross margins both sequentially and year over year, as we delivered our eighth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted earnings per share.”

Dr. Zeif continued, “I would like to thank our employees who have continued to maintain their focus, furthering the execution of our strategy with excellence and helping to make Stratasys the healthiest and strongest-growing business in our industry. Despite the various M&A scenarios emerging in the industry, customers across all of our technologies remain highly engaged and confident in Stratasys as we continue to look for ways to expand our innovation and suite of offerings. The addition of Covestro’s Additive Manufacturing business has yielded immediate results, and our expected combination with Desktop Metal will create comprehensive offerings across the industrial landscape. Additive manufacturing is on the edge of tremendous growth as customers accelerate the use of our technologies at production scale. Together with our fortress balance sheet and resilient business model, we are well-positioned to drive profitable growth as we continue to create shareholder value.”

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 reiterating its revenue guidance and the remainder of its outlook for 2023, other than GAAP earnings, as follows:

• 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 non-GAAP 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 non-GAAP 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 margins as the year progresses.
• GAAP net loss of $115 million to $96 million, or ($1.66) to ($1.39) per diluted share, which includes one-time extraordinary costs associated with the proxy contest and merger-related activities.
• 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, one-time extraordinary costs associated with the proxy contest and merger-related activities and other expenses of $53 million to $59 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 reiterating its 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 of 15% or greater.

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.

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table below.
