ExOne Updates 2013 Revenue Expectations
- Certain 2013 machine sales now expected in first half of 2014
- Complete inventory of M-Flex™ machines sold out
NORTH HUNTINGDON, Pa., Jan. 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The ExOne Company (Nasdaq:XONE) (“ExOne” or “the Company”), a global provider of three-dimensional (“3D”) printing machines and printed products to industrial customers, announced today that it expects 2013 revenue to be in the range of $40 million to $42 million. This compares with previous revenue guidance of approximately $48 million. The shortfall primarily relates to machine sales not yet completed for customers in Russia, India, Mexico and France, some of which involve approval processes that were deferred into 2014. The specific machines to be sold are four S-Max™ and one S-Print™.
The Company also noted that it sold its complete inventory of six M-Flex™ machines in 2013. The first M-Flex™ was sold in the third quarter of 2013. This machine platform was introduced to satisfy the demand for a large range of industrial customers that are interested in directly printing metals, ceramic and glass products.
S. Kent Rockwell, Chairman and CEO, noted, “Although this reduction in fourth quarter 2013 machine sales impacts our revenue expectations for the quarter and year, we have not lost a single order and expect these sales to be completed in the first half of 2014. While naturally we are disappointed with this shift in timing for these machines, we remain enthusiastic with the growing interest in the ExOne binder jetting technology from our global customers for all industrial material applications. We believe that these machine sale delays are only due to timing and no other factor. We also expect to quadruple production and triple sales of the M-Flex™ in 2014.”
He concluded, “We remain confident that our previously stated long-term 40% to 50% annual organic revenue growth goal is achievable again in 2014. We continue to see the industrial market evolving toward 3D printing and are pursuing opportunities to expand our strategies. We have made a substantial effort for a company our size to undertake the acquisition strategy that we announced in our follow-on offering completed in September 2013, and we have incurred expenses in the fourth quarter of 2013 related to such efforts. We will continue to explore opportunities to complement our organic growth with strategic acquisitions or alliances in 2014.”
