“We are beginning to observe signs that market conditions have stabilized,” said Scott Crump, chairman and chief executive officer of Stratasys. “Although the challenging economic environment continued and order activity remained depressed in the second quarter, positive indicators have recently emerged within the sales channel. We are cautiously optimistic that we may realize improved market conditions in the coming quarters.
“Our new personal 3D printer, the uPrint, continues to be well received following its successful launch in January. Although 3D printer sales have been slowed by the economic downturn, our pipeline of opportunities has grown significantly, which should bode well when market conditions improve. In addition, growing our distribution within 3D printing remains a top priority. We continue working on plans for broadening our distribution strategy, which we expect to significantly advance this year.
“In our Fortus 3D Production System business, we are also building a pipeline of opportunities that should translate into higher sales when market conditions improve. Although Fortus sales declined in the second quarter versus last year, sales nearly doubled over levels realized in the first quarter of this year. We are optimistic that this represents a positive trend going forward. Direct digital manufacturing applications remain a focal point of our Fortus sales and marketing efforts.
“We returned to profitability in the second quarter, a result of prudent cost-saving measures we implemented over the past year. We believe our go-to-market strategy combined with our strong financial position make us well positioned for the future. It is important to note that we have strengthened our already healthy balance sheet and we hold over 51 million dollars in cash and investments.
“Our competitive position remains strong. This was confirmed by the
Wohlers Report 2009, released in the second quarter, which indicated
that Stratasys shipped over 43 percent of all systems shipped worldwide
during 2008, and it has the highest global installed base of additive
systems. We expect to improve upon our competitive position in 2009,
given our relatively strong financial position and fresh lineup of
products.
