FRIEDBERG, Germany — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 12, 2015 — voxeljet AG (NYSE: VJET) (the “Company”, or “voxeljet”), a leading provider of high-speed, large-format 3D printers and on-demand parts services to industrial and commercial customers, today announced consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.
Highlights – First Quarter 2015
- Total revenues increased 104.1% to kEUR 5,589 from kEUR 2,739
- Gross margin was 33.6% compared to 39.4%
- Systems revenues increased 114.7% to kEUR 2,817 from kEUR 1,312

Dr. Ingo Ederer, Chief Executive Officer of voxeljet, commented, “I am pleased with our first quarter results which reflect the increased adoption of 3D printing in industrial and commercial applications. Demand for both our systems and on-demand printed parts remains robust. We sold four printers in the quarter compared to two printers in last year’s same quarter and generated record revenues in both sand and plastic parts.”
Dr. Ederer continued, “We began printing parts at our service facility in Detroit in the first quarter of 2015 and our direct operating presence in that market is creating greater awareness of voxeljet’s capabilities and is driving customer interest across North America. We are off to a good start for the year and we reaffirm our full year 2015 guidance of revenue between kEUR 23,000 and kEUR 24,000 for the group.”
First Quarter 2015 Results
Revenues for the first quarter of 2015 increased by 104.1% to kEUR 5,589 compared to kEUR 2,739 in the first quarter of 2014.
Revenues from our Systems segment, which focuses on the development, production and sale of 3D printers, increased 114.7% to kEUR 2,817 in the first quarter of 2015 from kEUR 1,312 in last year’s first quarter. The Company delivered four printers (two new and two used) in the first quarter of 2015. This compared to two new printers that were delivered in last year’s first quarter. Systems revenues also include all revenues from consumables, spare parts and maintenance. Systems revenues represented 50.4% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 47.9% in last year’s first quarter.
Revenues from our Services segment, which focuses on the printing of on-demand parts for our customers, increased 94.3%, to kEUR 2,772 in the first quarter of 2015 from kEUR 1,427 for the same quarter last year. This was mainly due to the revenue contribution from our subsidiary voxeljet UK Ltd. (“voxeljet UK”), which contributed kEUR 912 of revenues in the Services segment for the first quarter of 2015. We also continued to benefit from the expansion of our service center in Germany (completed in April 2014), where Service revenues increased nearly 30% compared to last year’s first quarter.
Cost of sales was kEUR 3,710 for the first quarter of 2015 compared to kEUR 1,660 for the first quarter of 2014. Embedded in cost of sales was expenses related to our Long Term Cash Incentive Plan (“LTCIP”) of kEUR 213 in the first quarter of 2015 compared to kEUR 56 in the first quarter of 2014. The LTCIP was initiated in October 2013.
Gross profit was kEUR 1,879 in the first quarter of 2015 compared to kEUR 1,079 in the first quarter of 2014. The gross profit margin decreased to 33.6% in the first quarter of 2015 from 39.4% in the first quarter of 2014.
Gross profit for our Systems segment increased to kEUR 772 in the first quarter of 2015 from kEUR 397 in the first quarter of 2014. The gross profit margin for this segment decreased to 27.4% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 30.3% in the first quarter of 2014. Systems sales in the first quarter of 2015 included two used printers which generally have a lower gross margin compared to that of new printers. In addition, one of the two new printers sold in the first quarter of 2015 was a beta-system which was sold to a customer at a discount and contributed to the lower overall gross margin in the Systems segment. Higher headcount costs related to our growth strategy also affected the cost of sales. As of March 31, 2015, 41 people were employed in the Systems segment, compared to 26 as of March 31, 2014. In the first quarter of 2015, cost of sales in the Systems segment related to the LTCIP was kEUR 119 compared to kEUR 32 in the prior year period.
Gross profit for our Services segment increased to kEUR 1,107 in the first quarter of 2015 from kEUR 682 in the first quarter of 2014. The gross profit margin for this segment decreased to 39.9% in the first quarter of 2015 from 47.8% in the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in gross margin was related to increased headcount costsin pursuit of our growth strategy. As of March 31, 2015, 34 people were employed in our Services segment, compared to 16 as of March 31, 2014, an increase of more than 100%. Product mix in the first quarter of 2015 was less favorable compared to the first quarter of 2014 due in part to our subsidiary voxeljet UK, which prints on-demand parts for the film and entertainment industry. Gross margins in services to customers in this industry are generally lower due to more costly finishing and post-printing process requirements. In the first quarter of 2015, cost of sales in the Services segment related to the LTCIP was kEUR 94 compared to kEUR 24 in the prior year period.
Selling expenses were kEUR 1,416 for the first quarter of 2015 compared to kEUR 693 in the first quarter of 2014. The increase of kEUR 723 was the result of our expanded global sales effort as we increased our headcount and attended more trade shows and fairs compared to the prior year period. Headcount (for employees performing sales and marketing functions) increased at the end of the first quarter of 2015 by 10 to 31 employees compared to 21 at the end of the first quarter 2014.
Administrative expenses were kEUR 1,619 for the first quarter of 2015 compared to kEUR 614 in the first quarter of 2014. This increase of kEUR 1,005 was primarily due to increased headcount related to the pursuit of our growth strategy and costs associated with being a publicly-traded company. Headcount (for employees performing administrative functions) increased at the end of the first quarter of 2015 by 23 to 42 employees compared to 19 at the end of the first quarter 2014.
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses increased to kEUR 1,560 in the first quarter of 2015 from kEUR 848 in the prior year period, as we continued to invest heavily in R&D with a number of active projects in various stages of development. Those investments are intended to strengthen our leadership in technology.
Our operating expenses for the first quarter of 2015 were affected by the LTCIP. Selling, administrative and R&D expenses related to the LTCIP were kEUR 114 (Q1 2014: kEUR 35), kEUR 69 (Q1 2014: kEUR 17) and kEUR 187 (Q1 2014: kEUR 47), respectively.
Other operating expenses in the first quarter of 2015 were kEUR 206 compared to kEUR 78 in the prior year period. This was mainly due to expenses from foreign currency exchange amounting to kEUR 100 (Q1 2014: kEUR 3).
Other operating income was kEUR 1,456 for the first quarter of 2015 compared to kEUR 551 in the first quarter of 2014. This was mainly due to gain from foreign currency transactions amounting to kEUR 924. In addition, other operating income included the release of deferred income amounting to kEUR 304, which included kEUR 230 resulting from the early termination of one sale and leaseback contract.
Operating loss was kEUR 1,466 in the first quarter of 2015, compared to an operating loss of kEUR 603 in the prior year period. Our operating loss in the first quarter of 2015 was the result of an increase in our operating expenses caused by increased headcount related to the pursuit of our growth strategy and costs related to being a publicly-traded company, including compensation expenses related to the LTCIP of kEUR 583. The personnel expenses related to the LTCIP for the first quarter of 2014 were kEUR 156. Regarding the LTCIP, management adjusted its judgement of the probability of achieving the targets for the second performance period. This led to a change in estimate resulting in higher personnel expenses through cost of sales and other operating expenses. The change in estimate recognized in the first quarter of 2015 amounted to kEUR 337.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2015 was kEUR 1,630, or EUR 0.49 per share, as compared to net loss of kEUR 711, or EUR 0.22 per share, in the first quarter of 2014.
Business Outlook
We reaffirm our revenue guidance in a range of between kEUR 23,000 and kEUR 24,000 for the year ending December 31, 2015.
The primary drivers of the Company’s anticipated revenue growth for the year ending December 31, 2015 are expected to be: (1) increased global Systems sales; (2) continued Services revenue growth at its facility in Friedberg, Germany; (3) contribution from Voxeljet of America Inc., the Company’s Services facility in Canton, Michigan, which began operating in January 2015; and (4) a full year’s contribution from voxeljet UK, the Company’s Services facility outside London, England. Based on these factors, the Company expects Services revenue growth to outpace Systems revenue growth in 2015.
Our total backlog of 3D printer orders at March 31, 2015 was kEUR 2,643, which represents six 3D printers. This compares to backlog of kEUR 4,178, representing seven 3D printers, at December 31, 2014. As production and delivery of our printers is generally not characterized by long lead times, backlog is more dependent on the timing of customers’ requested deliveries.
At March 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of kEUR 7,879 and held kEUR 39,065 of investments in five bond funds which are included in current financial assets on our consolidated statement of financial position.
Long Term Cash Incentive Plan (LTCIP)
On October 2, 2013, we announced that we would be implementing, effective on January 1, 2013, a long-term cash incentive plan (the “LTCIP”) for senior management and other key personnel. An initial grant of the awards under the LTCIP was made to participants on October 2, 2013. Personnel expenses incurred in the first three months of 2015 related to the LTCIP amounted to kEUR 583. The first tranche of awards granted under the LTCIP was settled in May 2014.

voxeljet performed a preliminary purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2014 with respect to certain separately identified intangible assets. As of March 31, 2015, the Company adjusted the purchase price allocation according to the fair values of the intangible assets and deferred taxes. Intangible assets have been reduced by kEUR 118 with a corresponding increase of the goodwill and deferred tax adjustments decreased goodwill by kEUR 263. The acquired assets and liabilities comprise the following items based on the adjusted purchase price allocation:

The order backlog was amortized until December 31, 2014. The customer relations and digital library are amortized over a period of three years.
The excess of the purchase price over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is reported as goodwill of €1.4 million. The goodwill results from synergies which relate to the expanded competencies obtained by voxeljet in the UK market and the skills of the voxeljet UK workforce.
