Company provides financial guidance for fourth quarter of 2015

MINNEAPOLIS & REHOVOT, Israel — (BUSINESS WIRE) — November 4, 2015 — Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS), the 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions company, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2015.

Q3-2015 Financial Results Summary:

The Company updated the goodwill impairment analysis of all of its reporting units. On the basis of its preliminary analysis, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill and other intangible assets impairment expense of $910 million in the third quarter, primarily as a result of changes of the Company's near-term cash flows projections which reflect, among other things, the increased uncertainty in the 3D printing environment. The impairment expense is subject to further adjustments pursuant to conclusion of the preliminary impairment test, which is expected to be completed within the next week and disclosed in the Company’s third quarter financial statements to be filed on Form 6-K. Finalization of the impairment analysis is expected to occur later in the fourth quarter.

“Our third quarter results are a reflection of the difficult global macro-economic environment we have observed throughout the year that is negatively impacting most of our product lines,” said David Reis, chief executive officer of Stratasys. ”We believe the current environment is primarily a result of weak investment in capital equipment, which has combined with the negative impact of excess capacity that we believe was created during a period of extraordinary growth for Stratasys, and the overall industry, during 2013 and 2014. Additionally, although we believe that overall penetration in the prototyping market remains low, the segment has matured to an extent that our customers now have a wide selection of technology offerings to evaluate, resulting in lengthened sales cycles. Despite these near-term challenges, we continue to observe significant market potential, and remain confident in our long-term growth prospects.”

Business Highlights:

“We are focused on long-term objectives and remain confident we will overcome near-term challenges,” continued Reis. “We will respond to the current market environment by implementing adjustments to our costs and operating structure, while remaining committed to a plan that we believe will help unlock the significant potential within our industry for our innovative solutions. In addition to transforming our brand and go-to-market strategies, we are working on significant advancements for existing platforms, as well as the development of new capabilities and business models. We are positioning our Company for the future, and remain confident of the significant opportunity ahead.”

2015 Guidance:

The Company provided financial guidance for the fourth quarter of 2015 as follows:

The Company is reviewing its long term operating model, and will provide an update when visibility has improved.
