Stratasys Reports Record Third Quarter Financial Results

Company reports $204 million in revenue, which included a strong contribution from Makerbot and a 35% increase in organic revenue over the same period last year

Company reports non-GAAP net income growth of 50% over the same period last year to $30.1 million, or $0.58 per diluted share; GAAP net loss was $31.3 million, or ($0.62) per basic share

MINNEAPOLIS & REHOVOT, Israel — (BUSINESS WIRE) — November 5, 2014 — Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS) today announced record third quarter financial results.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2014 was $204 million, which included a 35% increase organically when compared to the same period last year and a 62% increase when including revenue from acquisitions.

Revenue from MakerBot branded products and services increased by over 80% when compared to the pro forma revenue that MakerBot generated during the third quarter of 2013. MakerBot product and service revenue is calculated as organic revenue beginning on August 15, 2014.

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter increased by 50% over the same period last year to $30.1 million, or $0.58 per diluted share. GAAP net loss for the period was $31.3 million, or ($0.62) per basic share.

During the third quarter, Stratasys closed the acquisitions of Solid Concepts and Harvest Technologies, creating a leading additive manufacturing services platform that will support the company’s expansion into end-use-parts production, and the introduction of applications within targeted vertical markets.

The company also announced and closed the acquisition of GrabCAD, a leading cloud-based platform for 3D CAD users that provides tools to facilitate 3D design collaboration, and has the potential to improve access to the company’s 3D printing products and services.

Additionally, Stratasys established MakerBot Europe by acquiring MakerBot’s German distributor, HAFNER’S BÜRO. MakerBot Europe will manage existing resellers as well as expand the company’s reach and develop additional strategic partnerships in the European market.

The company adjusted its financial guidance for fiscal 2014 to account for the recent acquisition of GrabCAD, with the expectation that ongoing development costs, as previously disclosed, are expected to negatively impact the fourth quarter by $0.03 to $0.05 per share. Non-GAAP net income guidance was adjusted to $2.21 – $2.31 per diluted share; versus previous guidance of $2.25 – $2.35 per diluted share.

Q3-2014 Financial Results Summary:

“Our organic revenue growth in the third quarter was an impressive 35%, as demand for our industry-leading products and services remained very strong,” said David Reis, chief executive officer of Stratasys. “We believe this trend validates our leadership position, supports our strategic initiatives, and reflects favorably on the contributions made by our recent acquisitions. As MakerBot sales continue to impress, sales of our higher-margin products remained a key growth driver during the third quarter, which had a positive impact on margins during the period. Overall, we are very pleased with our third quarter results, as we continued to recognize strong demand across a wide range of products and applications.”

Recent Business Highlights:

“We are excited about the potential of our recent acquisitions, and have initiated the process of integrating Solid Concepts and Harvest Technologies together with RedEye into a unified parts services offering,” continued Reis. “In addition, we believe the recent acquisition of GrabCAD will ultimately position our company to provide improved design collaboration tools, and greatly enhance customer accessibility to our 3D printing products and services. We believe these transactions demonstrate our commitment to invest strategically and position the company for long-term growth.”

Financial Guidance:

Stratasys provided the following information regarding the company’s projected revenue and net income for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014:

Non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $80.6 million to $81.1 million of projected amortization of intangible assets; $29.4 million to $29.9 million of share-based compensation expense; $14.6 million of impairment charges; $66.7 million to $68.7 million in non-recurring expenses related to acquisitions; and includes $46.9 million to $47.9 million in tax expenses related to Non-GAAP adjustments.

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.

Stratasys reiterated the following information regarding the company’s long-term operating model:

“We continue to observe strong market demand, and we are excited about our several new product launches. And finally, we have reiterated our growth forecasts and look forward to a strong finish to 2014,” concluded Reis.
