NEW YORK — (BUSINESS WIRE) — August 14, 2023 — 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

“We made notable progress year to date on each of our key objectives, particularly with regard to our software tools and services, as well as with enterprise manufacturing customers,” said Greg Kress, Shapeways’ Chief Executive Officer. “We are encouraged by our growing traction of SaaS contract commitments on our refreshed MFG platform. We have launched several new software features in recent months, which should provide for increased customer acquisition, retention, and lifetime value, as well as additional sources of revenue. For example, the 3D Model Viewer is a feature requested by users, which allows viewing 3D models of custom parts, streamlining the quoting process, and allowing for greater accuracy and speed. With MFG Materials, we are providing a very compelling return to our customers by helping them save on raw material costs. In addition, our increased customer focus on middle market and enterprise opportunities has translated into several exciting new multi-year customer contracts and developing a growing pipeline in our target industries.”

Mr. Kress continued, “We believe the market is approaching an inflection point in the overall adoption of digital manufacturing solutions. Furthermore, we believe that Shapeways is well-positioned to take advantage of this market opportunity across an array of industries with a platform that combines high-quality, flexible, on-demand manufacturing with purpose-built proprietary software. We are pleased with our ongoing traction and will remain disciplined and prudent as we execute our operating plan.”

Business Updates

The Company made progress on each of its key initiatives:

Software tools and services continues to scale – Shapeways’ software offering is one of its key growth drivers, and is continuing to make progress. Notable highlights during and subsequent to quarter-end include:

  • Ongoing software growth, with software revenues increasing 40% in the quarter, compared to the same period in the prior year, and with $1.4 million of software revenues year to date, leads the Company to believe it is on track to more than double software revenues for full year 2023 from 2022.
  • Launching several key features which create a more comprehensive software offering, thereby driving increased customer acquisition, retention, and lifetime value. These include an enhancement to the ordering service and the ability for customers to source discounted materials using the MFG material platform.

Enterprise manufacturing growth – Shapeways continued its solid progress in securing several multi-year contracts with enterprise customers in key target industries including industrial, medical and automotive. Notable highlights during and subsequent to quarter end include:

  • Securing two new Tier 1 supplier contracts with leading automotive and transportation manufacturers for multi-year production programs, expected to generate more than $2.8 million in revenue annually during the next seven years. This affirms Shapeways’ commitment to and proficiency in partnering with Tier 1 manufacturers to support OEM volume production.
  • Expanding its medical customer base by securing two significant contracts which are expected to generate approximately $2.5 million in revenue annually during the next three years. As an FDA compliant contract manufacturer, Shapeways is a key driver of innovation in the medical sector, enabling medical clients to realize significant growth by delivering high-quality, customized products within days through its additive manufacturing services.

Path to profitability – The Company continues to work towards its goal of achieving profitable growth over the long term, as it realizes increased contribution from higher-margin software sales, along with recognizing revenues from its multi-year manufacturing contracts with enterprise customers as well as closely managing expenses.

  • The Company continues to monitor its cash burn closely which the Company believes provides Shapeways with sufficient liquidity to support ongoing execution of its strategic plan over the next 12 months.
  • The Company transferred its listing to the Nasdaq Global Market from the New York Stock Exchange. We believe this move will allow us to benefit from Nasdaq’s cost-effective offering, while also providing us with a platform to expand our market presence, reach a broader investor base and accelerate our growth trajectory.
