“I am pleased with our performance in the first quarter that drove 41% growth in system revenues. Thanks to our team’s dedication and successful execution, Stratasys delivered solid results and is well-positioned at the forefront of our industry, as end markets continue to recover and 3D printing industry growth accelerates,” stated Dr. Yoav Zeif, Chief Executive Officer of Stratasys.

Dr. Zeif continued, “3D printing is migrating from being primarily a prototyping tool to providing full-scale, digital manufacturing platforms at mass production levels. With our focused business model, we continue to make progress on our strategy to grow our manufacturing applications, which will solidify our position as the first choice in polymer 3D printing. We recently hosted an unprecedented online event for over 4,500 customers, resellers and partners, where we introduced three next-generation manufacturing systems that address a large portion of the multibillion-dollar market opportunity in additive manufacturing of end-use parts and will play an integral role in positioning the business for future growth. Looking to the rest of 2021, we will continue to prioritize strategic investments that we expect to yield significant returns and sustained profitability in the years to come. With a fortress balance sheet and multiple growth opportunities in front of us, we are poised to build incremental value for our shareholders,” concluded Dr. Zeif.

Financial Outlook:

The Company is reiterating and updating its outlook as follows:

• Second quarter 2021 revenue of mid-teens percentage growth year-over-year.

• Full year operating expenses expected to rise approximately $25 million to $30 million compared to 2020, likely closer to the high end of the range, primarily due to the return of employees to a full-time schedule starting January 1, 2021, as well as the impact of recent acquisitions.
• Full year capital expenditures anticipated range from $24 million to $30 million.
• Longer term, the Company continues to expect significant leverage benefit from its investments as revenue growth should accelerate in 2022 and beyond.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP data included herein, which excludes certain items as described below, are non-GAAP financial measures. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful information for investors and shareholders of our Company in gauging our results of operations (i) on an ongoing basis after excluding mergers, acquisitions and divestments related expense or gains and reorganization-related charges or gains, and (ii) excluding non-cash items such as stock-based compensation expenses, acquired intangible assets amortization, including intangible assets amortization related to equity method investments, impairment of long-lived assets, revaluation of our investments and the corresponding tax effect of those items. These non-GAAP adjustments either do not reflect actual cash outlays that impact our liquidity and our financial condition or have a non-recurring impact on the statement of operations, as assessed by management. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance for internal planning and forecasting purposes. The limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures are that they provide a view of our results of operations without including all items indicated above during a period, which may not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies in our industry. Investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table below.
