Materialise Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results

LEUVEN, Belgium / Jul 31, 2024 / Business Wire / Materialise NV (NASDAQ:MTLS), a leading provider of additive manufacturing and medical software and of sophisticated 3D printing services, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Highlights – Second Quarter 2024

  • Total revenue increased 6.2% to 68,797 kEUR compared to 64,810 kEUR for the second quarter of 2023.
  • Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was 57.0%, in line with 57.2% for the corresponding 2023 period.
  • Adjusted EBIT increased to 3,872 kEUR for the second quarter of 2024 from (597) kEUR for the 2023 period, while Adjusted EBITDA increased to 9,188 kEUR for the second quarter of 2024 from 4,755 kEUR for the 2023 period.
  • Net profit for the second quarter of 2024 was 3,875 kEUR, or 0.07 EUR per diluted share, compared to (494) kEUR, or (0.01) EUR per diluted share, for the corresponding 2023 period.

CEO Brigitte de Vet-Veithen commented, “In the second quarter of 2024 Materialise continued on its growth path, generating record-high quarterly revenue of 68,797 kEUR. This represents growth of more than 6% compared to an already strong second quarter in 2023. We are especially pleased that all three of our business segments reported increased revenue. Materialise Medical turned in another strong performance, growing by 13%, while also Materialise Software and Materialise Manufacturing posted higher revenues. This solid topline performance enabled us to intensify our investments while maintaining net profitability. In another step forward, in July 2024 we acquired FEops, a Belgian company that develops AI-driven simulation technology to improve procedure efficiency and clinical outcomes for structural heart interventions. The acquisition positions Materialise to advance the personalized treatment of patients with heart diseases.”

2024 Guidance

Mrs. de Vet-Veithen concluded, “Given the strength of our operational performance half-way through 2024 we believe that we are well on track to deliver the growth targets we set earlier. Accordingly, we continue to expect to report consolidated revenue for the full fiscal year 2024 within the 265,000 to 275,000 kEUR range we communicated earlier. We are also maintaining our Adjusted EBIT guidance of 11,000 kEUR to 14,000 kEUR for fiscal year 2024.”

Non-IFRS Measures

Materialise uses EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental financial measures of its financial performance. EBIT is calculated as net profit plus income taxes, financial expenses (less financial income) and shares of profit or loss in a joint venture. EBITDA is calculated as net profit plus income taxes, financial expenses (less financial income), shares of profit or loss in a joint venture and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA are determined by adding share-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related expenses of business combinations, impairments and revaluation of fair value due to business combinations to EBIT and EBITDA, respectively. Management believes these non-IFRS measures to be important measures as they exclude the effects of items which primarily reflect the impact of financing decisions and, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, long term investment, rather than the performance of the company’s day-to-day operations. The company also uses segment Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of its three business segments. As compared to net profit, these measures are limited in that they do not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the company’s indebtedness and, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, these measures are further 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 changes associated with impairments. Management evaluates such items through other financial measures such as financial expenses, 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 EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT 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 EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
