2019 Guidance

Mr. Leys concluded, “The additive manufacturing market continues to evolve, as new applications gradually find their way to the market, and we intend to continue positioning Materialise to benefit from this promising growth market in the coming years. In 2019, Materialise will dedicate significant attention to the partnerships that we have entered into and to the strategic initiatives that we have launched over the previous years. In our Materialise Software segment, we intend to maintain our leadership position through innovation and strategic partnerships; in our Materialise Medical segment we will drive the next stage of innovation, including by launching initiatives in new growth areas; and in our Materialise Manufacturing segment we will increasingly focus on manufacturing of complex and unique parts.

“For fiscal 2019, we expect to report consolidated revenue between 196,000 kEUR – 204,000 kEUR and Adjusted EBITDA between 29,000 kEUR – 33,000 kEUR. We expect the amount of deferred revenue that Materialise generates from annual licenses and maintenance in 2019 to increase by an amount between 2,000 kEUR – 4,000 kEUR.”

Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2019 includes the positive impact, estimated at approximately 3,000 kEUR, of the application of the new IFRS16 Leases accounting standard, which requires leases to be recognized as an asset, and depreciated, over the lease term. As a result of the increased depreciation by approximately the same amount as the rental payments, our operating profit will not be impacted by this new standard.

Business Combinations - ACTech

Our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 appearing in our Annual Report on Form 20-F, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2018 (the “FY 2017 Form 20-F”), included a provisional accounting for the ACTech business combination. The fair value analysis with respect to the assets and liabilities acquired was not yet finalized as of the reporting date.

During September 2018, as previously reported in our Third Quarter 2018 Results release, and through October 4 2018, we completed the fair value analysis of the ACTech business combination, with corresponding adjustments to intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, inventories and contracts in progress, other current assets, investment grants and income taxes. The impact has been accounted for as retrospective adjustments to our consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2017 and our consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2017. Including an adjustment to the inventories valuation at ACTech, the total impact on the consolidated reserves for the year ended December 31, 2017 and our 2017 fourth quarter income statements amounted to (461) kEUR.

The adjustments are summarized as follows:

Non-IFRS Measures

Materialise uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental financial measures of its financial performance. EBITDA is calculated as net profit plus income taxes, financial expenses (less financial income), shares of loss in a joint venture and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by adding non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and acquisition-related expenses of business combinations to EBITDA. Management believes these non-IFRS measures to be important measures as they exclude the effects of items which primarily reflect the impact of long-term investment and financing decisions, rather than the performance of the company's day-to-day operations. As compared to net profit, these measures are limited in that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the company's business, or the charges associated with impairments. Management evaluates such items through other financial measures such as capital expenditures and cash flow provided by operating activities. The company believes that these measurements are useful to measure a company's ability to grow or as a valuation measurement. The company's calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net profit or any other performance measure derived in accordance with IFRS. The company's presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
