Gross profit was $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2013, an improvement of $2.7 million compared with gross profit of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2012. Gross profit as a percent of sales was 45.3% in the second quarter of 2013 compared with 32.6% in the second quarter of 2012. Gross profit and gross margin for the second quarter of 2013 improved on volume, favorable sales mix and enhanced productivity in the Company’s PSCs.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2013 was $1.0 million compared with an operating loss of $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2012, an improvement of $2.1 million. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2013 were $3.9 million, compared with$4.3 million in the prior-year second quarter. The 2012 second quarter SG&A included a $1.8 million equity-based compensation charge. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the second quarter of 2013 increased by $0.9 million to $1.3 million, in support of the Company’s materials qualification and machine technology enhancements.

Revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 was $17.2 million, up $9.8 million, or 132%, compared with $7.4 million in the prior-year period, driven primarily by machine sales as well as growth in PSC revenue globally.

First half gross profit was $7.0 million, up $4.7 million compared with the last year’s first half of $2.3 million. Gross profit as a percentage of sales improved to 40.9% in the first half of 2013, a 930 basis point improvement over 31.6% in last year’s first half.  SG&A expense for the first six months of 2013 was $7.5 million, up $1.6 million from the prior-year period. R&D expense was $2.1 million in the first half of 2013, compared with $0.8 million in the first half of 2012, reflecting the Company’s investments in growth.

Strategy and Outlook

Mr. S. Kent Rockwell, Chairman and CEO, noted, “We believe our results continue to demonstrate the effective execution of our growth strategies. We are increasing machine sales, expanding our PSC network and building our material and binders portfolio. We believe ExOne remains distinctively positioned as a leading industrial provider of 3D printing machines and printed products, and we expect demand to continue to increase.”

The Company anticipates that its 2013 revenue will be at the lower end of its previous guidance of $48 million to $52 million. The Company’s expectations are based on no additional micromachine (laser drilling machine) sales in 2013 and timing of year-end shipments. Further, the weakening of the Japanese yen relative to the U.S. dollar has impacted full year revenue expectations.  ExOne anticipates that its 2013 gross margin will be at the higher end of its previous guidance of 42% to 46%. Lastly, ExOne expects 2013 operating expenses to be at the upper end of its previous guidance of$18 million to $21 million.

Approximately $40 million to $50 million in growth investments for manufacturing capacity and PSC development are planned for 2013 and 2014. This includes approximately $20 million for the recently announced expansion and consolidation of the Company’s German operations.
