Markforged Announces Third Quarter 2023 Results

Announcing Cost Restructuring Initiatives

WALTHAM, Mass. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — November 13, 2023 — Markforged Holding Corporation (NYSE: MKFG) (the “Company”), the company strengthening manufacturing resiliency by enabling industrial production at the point of need, today announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results Compared To Third Quarter 2022

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Financial Results Compared To Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures provided in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial tables included at the end of this press release. An explanation of these measures and how they are calculated is also included under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

“While the medium-to-long-term opportunity for Markforged to help manufacturers reduce costs and strengthen supply chain resiliency remains intact, our third quarter results reflect worsening macroeconomic headwinds in the final weeks of the quarter, which delayed several large deals that we had expected to close,” said Shai Terem, President and CEO of Markforged. “We remain laser focused on profitability. In light of these headwinds, which have persisted into the fourth quarter, we have implemented cost reduction efforts to align our operating expenses to match anticipated near-term demand. With that, the overwhelming excitement surrounding our new product introductions at Formnext 2023 last week is a testament to the transformative impact our offerings are set to make in the manufacturing industry. In particular, the customer enthusiasm surrounding the FX10 is reinforcing our confidence that Markforged is well-positioned for strong growth as macroeconomic uncertainty clears.”

Business Updates

2023 Financial Outlook

The uncertain macro environment and relatively high cost of capital have weighed on Markforged’s customers’ purchasing behavior more than expected. Therefore, Markforged is maintaining its revised revenue guidance the Company shared with preliminary results of $90.0 - $95.0 million.

Markforged expects Non-GAAP gross margins to be within the range of 47% to 48%, which is within the range of the Company’s previous guidance.

Markforged is committed to pursuing profitable growth over time. As such, Markforged has recently announced a company-wide reorganization that coupled with additional cost reduction efforts is expected to generate annualized opex savings of $9 to $12 million in 2024. Including a one time restructuring costs, estimated at approximately $0.9 million, operating loss for the year is expected to be within the range $59 - $61 million.

Non-GAAP EPS loss per share is expected to be between $0.26 - $0.28 including restructuring costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we believe that non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating profit (loss), and non-GAAP earnings per share, each a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful in evaluating the performance of our business.

These non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool. We do not, nor do we suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that the non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies, including other companies in our industry.

We recommend that you review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release, and that you not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Additionally, to the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations.

Investors should note that beginning with the second quarter of 2022, we have modified the presentation of “non-recurring costs” included in non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating profit (loss), non-GAAP net profit (loss) and non-GAAP earnings per share metrics to include certain non-recurring litigation costs. Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2022, we modified the presentation to remove the impact of the amortization of our intangible assets. We use these metrics to provide an understanding of the results of our core business performance and believe these litigation and amortization costs are not indicative of the performance of our core business’ operations. This change increases “non-recurring costs” by $0.6 million, $1.0 million, and $0.8 million in the first through third quarters of 2022, respectively. The exclusion of amortization impacts non-GAAP net profit (loss) by $5.0 thousand and $37.0 thousand in the second through third quarters of 2022, respectively. To conform to the current period’s presentation, we have included non-recurring litigation costs as “non-recurring costs” when presenting the foregoing non-GAAP figures for the year to date period.

The following are the non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this press release and presented in the tables below:

Furthermore, if the forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material.
