MINNEAPOLIS & REHOVOT, Israel — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 31, 2019 — Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS) announced financial results for the second quarter of 2019.

Q2 2019 Financial Results Summary:
Revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $163.2 million, compared to $170.2 million for the same period last year.

• GAAP gross margin was 49.7% for the quarter, compared to 49.1% for the same period last year.
• Non-GAAP gross margin was 52.5% for the quarter, with no change compared to the same period last year.
• GAAP operating income for the quarter was $0.8 million, compared to an operating loss of $1.9 million for the same period last year.
• Non-GAAP operating income for the quarter was $9.1 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $10.6 million for the same period last year.
• GAAP net income for the quarter was $1.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.6 million, or ($0.08) per diluted share, for the same period last year.
• Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $8.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $8.1 million, or $0.15per diluted share, for the same period last year.
• The Company used $3.8 million of cash from operations during the second quarter and ended the period with $366.3 million of cash and cash equivalents.

“Our second quarter results reflect continued strong performance in the Americas, where we saw revenue growth across systems, consumables, and services, which was offset mainly by significant economic weakness in Europe that we believe is impacting capital investments and general spending in the automotive and industrial machinery markets in that region, as well as by the adverse impact of foreign exchange rates in Europe and Asia Pacific,” said Elchanan (Elan) Jaglom, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Stratasys. “We believe that we are well positioned to return to growth in Europe when macro conditions improve, and our new products and platforms are launched and adopted in the market. Additionally, despite relatively flat revenue growth after excluding divestments, we are pleased that our emphasis on operational efficiency delivered earnings and profitability while we continue to invest in new products and strengthen our R&D efforts to expand our addressable markets.”

Financial Guidance:
Stratasys today issued the following information regarding the Company’s guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019:

• Revenue guidance of $670 to $700 million.
• GAAP net loss of $17 to $3million, or ($0.31) to ($0.05) per diluted share, compared to previous guidance of a GAAP net loss of $22 to $12million, or ($0.40) to ($0.22) per diluted share.
• Non-GAAP net income of $30 to $38 million, or $0.55 to $0.70 per diluted share.
• Non-GAAP operating margins of 5.5% to 6.5%.
• Capital expenditures are projected at $30 to $45 compared to previous guidance of $45 to $60 million.

Given the expected ongoing negative impact of not recording a tax benefit on U.S. tax losses on the Company’s non-GAAP net income, the Company believes that the rate of growth in its non-GAAP operating income is the best measure of its performance.

Non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $23 to $24 million of projected amortization of intangible assets; $22 to $24 million of share-based compensation expense; reorganization expenses and other of ($1) to $1 million; and includes tax adjustments of ($2) to ($3) million on the above non-GAAP items.

“We are excited about the market response to the new products that we have recently launched, and about the several additional product announcements we intend to make later this year and in 2020,” continued Jaglom. “We believe we are well positioned to continue expanding in manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and photo-realism design as well as in our target verticals of aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and dental. Our focus on innovation and select partnerships over the last several years is opening new, incremental opportunities that along with our healthy balance sheet will support our accelerated growth plan beginning in 2020.”
