Insights

Financial Analyst

Stratasys' Q2 2024 results reveal a mixed financial picture. Revenue declined 13.6% year-over-year to $138.0 million, reflecting ongoing macroeconomic challenges. However, there are positive signs: recurring consumables revenue grew 6.3%, indicating strong printer utilization. GAAP gross margin improved by 230 basis points to 43.8%, while non-GAAP gross margin increased slightly to 49.0%.

The company's restructuring plan, aiming for $40 million in annual cost savings and 8% EBITDA margins, is a strategic move to improve profitability. However, the 15% workforce reduction may impact short-term operations. The updated 2024 outlook, with revenue projected at $570-580 million, suggests cautious optimism amid ongoing economic uncertainties.

Market Research Analyst

Stratasys' performance reflects broader industry trends in the 3D printing sector. The decline in capital equipment purchases aligns with global economic pressures, but the growth in consumables suggests sustained demand for 3D printing services. The company's focus on high-growth potential products and materials indicates a strategic pivot towards more profitable market segments.

The introduction of new products like the H350 version 1.5 printer and J5 Digital Anatomy printer demonstrates Stratasys' commitment to innovation. However, the market's response to these offerings remains to be seen. The company's emphasis on software solutions also aligns with the industry's shift towards end-to-end digital manufacturing ecosystems, potentially positioning Stratasys for future growth as the market recovers.

Tech Expert

Stratasys' product innovations, particularly in healthcare with the J5 Digital Anatomy printer, show promise in high-value niche markets. The focus on software offerings is crucial, as it can provide recurring revenue streams and enhance customer lock-in. However, the company faces challenges in a competitive landscape where other players are also innovating rapidly.

The restructuring towards highest growth potential products could accelerate Stratasys' technological edge. Yet, the 15% workforce reduction might impact R&D capacity. The emphasis on additive manufacturing adoption aligns with industry trends towards mass customization and on-demand production. Stratasys' ability to deliver solutions that address manufacturing challenges will be key to its future success in an evolving tech landscape.

• Revenue of $138.0 million, compared to $159.8 million ($154.6 million net of divestments) in second quarter 2023, related to ongoing impact of current macroeconomic environment on customer capital equipment purchasing
• Year-over-year growth in recurring consumables revenue of 6.3% reflects continued strong printer utilization
• Improved GAAP gross margin by 230bps and non-GAAP gross margin by 50bps compared to second quarter 2023.
• GAAP net loss of $25.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share
• $2.4 million in cash used in operations and negative free cash flow of $5.4 million
• Completes strategic review process and announces focused restructuring actions, which are expected to deliver incremental annualized savings of ~$40 million and annualized EBITDA margin of 8% at current revenue levels
• Updates 2024 outlook

Dr. Zeif continued, “During the quarter we achieved strong consumables sales, and strengthened our market position with the addition of leading products, including the H350 version 1.5 printer, the J5 Digital Anatomy printer, and many exciting new software offerings. We understand the importance of a disciplined approach to balancing investment in innovation with staying focused on delivering the most impactful additive manufacturing applications to our customers and value to shareholders.”

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, divestments and strategic process-related expense or gains and reorganization-related charges or gains, and legal provisions and (ii) excluding non-cash items such as share-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 view of our performance that is comparable to those of 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.
