Stratasys Reports Record Financial Results for Q3 2013

Company reports $126.1 million in non-GAAP revenue and generates 26% organic revenue growth over last year’s Stratasys and Objet pro forma combined revenue as merger synergies accelerate

Non-GAAP earnings of $0.45 per diluted share and a GAAP loss of ($0.16) per share

Company raises fiscal 2013 non-GAAP revenue and EPS guidance

MINNEAPOLIS & REHOVOT, Israel — (BUSINESS WIRE) — November 7, 2013 — Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS) today announced record financial results for the third quarter of 2013.

Q3 Financial Results Summary:

“Organic revenue growth accelerated in the third quarter as synergies resulting from the merger between Stratasys and Objet continued to develop,” said David Reis, chief executive officer of Stratasys. “We observed strong growth across multiple product lines that address an expanding range of applications. We also sustained strong gross margins during the period, which was a contributing factor to our record profitability. We are especially pleased by the contribution made by MakerBot, which added $11.6 million in revenue during the period. We are very pleased with our third quarter results.”

Business Highlights:

“With the completion of the MakerBot acquisition in the third quarter, we believe Stratasys is now the clear leader in the desktop 3D printer category, one of the fastest growing segments within our industry,” continued Reis. “The third quarter also demonstrated our commitment to internal product development, as well as our goal of expanding our global customer reach. In addition, as the mainstream adoption of 3D printing continues to gain momentum, we have strengthened our balance sheet, improving our ability to capitalize on additional growth initiatives and acquisitions.”

Financial Guidance

The company’s overall outlook has improved for the fourth quarter of 2013, which is reflected in an upward revision to 2013 revenue guidance. In addition, earnings guidance incorporates a $0.06 per share positive impact from the improved outlook; offset by $0.06 per share of earnings dilution resulting from the company’s public offering of 5,175,000 ordinary shares on September 18, 2013. The earnings impact of the offering on 2013 results had not been previously incorporated into financial guidance. GAAP earnings guidance has been revised principally to reflect higher estimates for stock compensation expense; revised amortization expense related to acquired MakerBot intangible assets; and higher expenses related to the MakerBot performance bonus plan.

Accordingly, Stratasys is updating its following financial guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 as follows:

Non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $67.2 million of projected amortization of intangible assets; $22.2 million to $24.9 million of share-based compensation expense; and $18.1 million to $20.7 million in merger-related expenses.

Appropriate reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are provided in a table at the end of this press release. The table provides itemized detail of the non-GAAP financial measures.

“As we enter the fourth quarter, we believe the acceleration in our organic growth rate, combined with the positive impact from our recent acquisition of MakerBot, will contribute to a strong finish to the year. Looking beyond 2013, we are well positioned to sustain our positive momentum as we accelerate our rate of new product introductions, and prepare to capitalize on additional inorganic growth opportunities. In addition, our industry remains ripe for growth as new and innovative applications continue to emerge for our technology. We are very excited about the future,” Reis concluded.
