The Company has re-examined the long term operating plan of the MakerBot reporting unit, and expects to recognize an additional non-cash impairment charge of approximately $150 to $200 million in the first quarter. These results are based on current expectations and are subject to quarter-end closing adjustments.
2015 Guidance Update
The Company updated its guidance for full-year 2015 as follows:
- Total revenue in the range of $800 to $860 million, with non-GAAP net income in the range of $63 to $90 million, or $1.20 to $1.70 per diluted share.
- GAAP net loss of $245 million to $179 million, or ($4.79) to ($3.50) per share.
- Capital expenditures of $80 to $110 million.
- Total operating expenses in 2015 are expected to be in the range of 46% to 47% of anticipated revenues.
- Projected Non-GAAP net income is expected to be derived disproportionately from the second half of fiscal 2015, driven by the projected timing of revenue and operating expenses.
- Non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $85 million of projected amortization of intangible assets; $32 million to $35 million of share-based compensation expense; $28 million to $30 million in non-recurring expenses related to acquisitions; $150 to $200 million in goodwill and other intangible asset impairment expense; and includes $26 million to $42 million in tax expenses related to Non-GAAP adjustments.
Although it has revised its opex and capex expectations, the Company noted that it maintains the ability to adjust spending levels if market demand improves.
