“We are very pleased with our third quarter results considering the current global economic environment,” said Scott Crump, chairman and chief executive officer of Stratasys. “Our strong third quarter performance was driven by an impressive 68% increase in our proprietary high-end system revenue, which resulted from the positive momentum of our new high-end products. Operating profit in the third quarter grew by 30% over last year, the fastest year-over-year growth since the first quarter of 2007.
“While the growth in our high-end system business may seem to defy conventional expectation given the current economic environment, this performance reflects our successful new product and marketing strategies which target new applications for direct digital manufacturing (DDM). Given that the positive momentum within this business has continued into the first part of the fourth quarter, we remain cautiously optimistic.
“Consumable revenue for the third quarter grew by 20% over last year, a result of our growing installed base of systems. In addition, we believe that our consumable sales are benefiting from the recent growth in our high-end systems, which traditionally operate at significantly higher rates of consumable usage. For example, the FDM 900mc, our largest and fastest high-end system, will annually consume over 10 times the material consumed by the average 3D printer in a year.
“Our paid parts business continued to improve in the third quarter, with quarterly revenue expanding by 22% over last year. The improved performance is attributable to the changes we have made within our sales and marketing activities, as well as to the growth from new opportunities for architectural and direct digital manufacturing applications. We believe this positive momentum will lead to another strong performance for this business in the fourth quarter.
“3D printer system revenue for the third quarter was flat over last year, a continuation of the trend we observed in the second quarter, and reflective of our expectations. The business continues to be negatively impacted by customers that are less inclined to make innovative investments within a weak manufacturing environment. While we expect these trends will continue into the fourth quarter, we believe that our planned initiatives should accelerate 3D printer unit growth in the coming periods.
“While the impact of the current economic crisis is difficult to predict, we are generating positive cash flow from operations and our current expectations and outlook are for a strong finish in 2008. In addition, we are well positioned for economic uncertainty given our strong cash position and no long-term debt.
“Despite a potential downturn in the capital equipment market, our innovative products and services are helping our manufacturing customers to reduce development costs, shorten product release schedules, and provide alternatives to traditional manufacturing processes. We believe these factors will continue to drive strong demand growth for our products, and we remain optimistic about our future,” Crump concluded.
Stratasys provided the following information regarding its financial guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008:
- Maintaining revenue guidance of $125 million to $130 million.

(1) These adjustments reconcile the Company’s GAAP results of operations to its non-GAAP results of operations. The Company believes that presentation of results excluding non-cash stock-based compensation provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company’s core operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s GAAP results. |
