Business Outlook

We are revising our revenue guidance for the year ending December 31, 2014 to a range of between kEUR 15,000 and kEUR 16,000, from our previous guidance in excess of kEUR 18,000. This reflects the operating disruption of one VX4000 printer in our German service center in the third quarter, as well as the later-than-anticipated opening of our Canton, Michigan facility, which is now expected to start producing on-demand parts in the first quarter of 2015. We will also ship certain of our newer 3D printer models later than we had previously anticipated. The guidance includes contribution from the acquisition of Propshop (Model Makers) Limited on October 1, 2014. Our long term outlook for revenue growth of approximately 50% annually is unchanged

Our total backlog of 3D printer orders at September 30, 2014 was kEUR 4,144, which represents nine 3D printers. This compares to backlog of kEUR 2,300, representing four 3D printers, at December 31, 2013. As production and delivery of our printers is generally not characterized by long lead times, backlog is more dependent on the timing of customers’ requested deliveries.

At September 30, 2014, we had cash and equivalents of kEUR 10,217 and held kEUR 44,997 of investments in three bond funds which are included in current financial assets on our consolidated statement of financial position.
