Second Quarter 2014 Results

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2014 increased by 15.1% to 19,238 kEUR compared to 16,721 kEUR for the second quarter of 2013, driven by strong gains in the software and industrial production segments. EBITDA decreased from 1,635 kEUR to 1,065 kEUR reflecting a significant increase in R&D investments of 930 kEUR, and non-recurring IPO- related and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses totaling 307 kEUR. Excluding the IPO-related and non-based stock based compensation expenses, Adjusted EBITDA was 1,372 kEUR, for an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 7.1% compared to 9.8% last year.

Revenues from the 3D Printing Software segment, which offers proprietary software worldwide through programs that enable and enhance the functionality of 3D printers and of 3D printing operations, increased by 27.8 % to 4,198 kEUR for the second quarter of 2014 from 3,285 kEUR for the same quarter last year. Growth was fueled by increased penetration of Asian-based OEMs and the overall market growth of industrial 3D printing. EBITDA increased from 1,350 kEUR to 1,696 kEUR while the EBITDA margin was 40.4% compared to 41.1% last year.

Revenues from the Medical segment, which offers both a medical software platform and a portfolio of medical devices and clinical engineering services to our customers, slightly increased to 7,163 kEUR for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 7,127 kEUR for the same quarter last year. The modest increase was due to the conversion from perpetual to annual licenses and the maturation of the knee guide business. Sales of medical software increased 4.6% to 1,779 kEUR from 1,700 kEUR. Overall, EBITDA decreased from 1,613 kEUR to 793 kEUR and the EBITDA margin fell to 11.1% from 22.6% as slow revenue growth and continued investments in metal production and the X-ray project, among others, negatively impacted profitability.

Revenues from the Industrial Production segment, which primarily offers 3D printing services to industrial and commercial customers, increased 26.5% to 7,986 kEUR for the second quarter of 2014 from 6,313 kEUR for last year’s second quarter. The gain in the company’s “additive manufacturing solutions”, excluding its growth businesses, was largely driven by higher sales of end parts, which rose by 31%. Sales from the growth businesses (i.materialise and Rapid Fit) rose 73%. The number of printers in use increased to 115 from 109 at the end of the first quarter. EBITDA rose to 500 kEUR from 202 kEUR and the EBITDA margin improved to 6.3% from 3.2% for the same quarter of last year and was 13.9% excluding the company’s growth businesses.

Gross profit was 11,703 kEUR for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 10,591 kEUR for the second quarter of 2013. The gross profit margin decreased to 60.8% for the second quarter of 2014 from 63.3% for the second quarter of 2013 as a result of the slow Medical segment revenue generation. Cost of sales was 7,535 kEUR for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 6,130 kEUR for the second quarter of 2013 as a result of a higher consumption of consumables and higher payroll related charges.

Selling and administrative expenses were 6,156 kEUR for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 5,330 kEUR for the second quarter of 2013. This 826 kEUR increase resulted from additional investments in sales and marketing, mainly in the 3D printing software and industrial production segments.

Research and development expenses increased to 3,563 kEUR for the second quarter of 2014 from 2,633 kEUR for the prior year period, reflecting continued heavy investment with a number of active projects in various stages of development. All of the company’s research and development spending is expensed and none is capitalized.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2014 was 223 kEUR, versus a net profit of 622 kEUR for the prior year period, a decrease of 845 kEUR. Total comprehensive income for the second quarter of 2014, which reflects exchange differences on translation of foreign operations, was a loss of 175 kEUR, a decrease of 767 kEUR versus the prior year period.

At June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and equivalents of 67,431 kEUR, an increase of 54,833 kEUR since December 31, 2013, which was largely due to cash received from the company’s initial public offering. Cash flow from operations in the second quarter of 2014 was 3,234 kEUR.

Net shareholder’s equity at June 30, 2014 was 82,427 kEUR, an increase of 64,692 kEUR since December 31, 2013.

For fiscal 2014, management expects to report consolidated revenue between 77,000 kEUR and 80,000 kEUR. Management intends to aggressively invest in research and development and sales and marketing initiatives during the second half of the year. Depending on the pace of investments, management expects consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2014 to be between 3,500 kEUR and 5,000 kEUR.
