Dr. Yoav Zeif, Stratasys’ Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are at an inflection point for additive manufacturing. Industries appreciate the many benefits of our technologies and are increasingly adding 3D printing to their production plans, driving the shift from prototyping to mass production. Our third quarter was highlighted by revenue growth of 24.3% and systems sales growth of 34.7% year-over-year, with contributions across all regions and all business lines. We achieved a number of important manufacturing-focused milestones, including the securing of contracts with the US Navy and a major international OEM, specifically for end-use part production.”

Dr. Zeif continued, “Our vision of becoming the first choice for polymer 3D printing solutions with a focus on manufacturing continues to progress. We are executing on that goal by leveraging our outstanding reputation for excellence in both technology and service to help customers achieve true scaled production of end use parts. We expect the ongoing introduction of new product initiatives to further accelerate growth, complimented by our now 100% ownership of Xaar 3D and the new SAF technology, along with our recently announced open and enterprise-ready software platform that integrates with Industry 4.0 infrastructure and applications. We will continue to invest across our portfolio to further grow our sales and drive a return to sustained profitability.”

Financial Outlook:

Based on current market conditions and assuming that the impacts related to the pandemic or global supply chain constraints do not impede the economic environment further, the Company is reiterating and updating its outlook as follows:

• Fourth quarter 2021 revenue approximately 16% higher year-over-year, driven by continued growth in systems relative to Q4 of both 2020 and 2019.
• Full year-operating expenses expected to rise approximately $36 million compared to 2020, primarily due to fully owning Xaar 3D and higher operating costs associated with higher revenues.
• Full year capital expenditures anticipated to range from $24 million to $30 million.
• Longer term, the Company continues to expect significant leverage benefit from its investments as revenue growth should start to accelerate in 2022 and beyond.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP data included herein, which excludes certain items as described below, are non-GAAP financial measures. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful information for investors and shareholders of our Company in gauging our results of operations (i) on an ongoing basis after excluding mergers, acquisitions and divestments related expense or gains and reorganization-related charges or gains, legal provisions and (ii) excluding non-cash items such as stock-based compensation expenses, acquired intangible assets amortization, including intangible assets amortization related to equity method investments, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, revaluation of our investments and the corresponding tax effect of those items. These non-GAAP adjustments either do not reflect actual cash outlays that impact our liquidity and our financial condition or have a non-recurring impact on the statement of operations, as assessed by management. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance for internal planning and forecasting purposes. The limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures are that they provide a view of our results of operations without including all items indicated above during a period, which may not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies in our industry. Investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table below.
