MINNEAPOLIS & REHOVOT, Israel / Mar 07, 2024 / Business Wire / Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS), a leader in polymer 3D printing solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023.

Dr. Yoav Zeif, Stratasys’ Chief Executive Officer stated, “We continued to differentiate ourselves in 2023, achieving our tenth consecutive quarter of profitability on an adjusted basis. We also delivered 1.3% full year revenue growth when adjusted for divestitures despite a persistently challenging backdrop for our customers. Revenue in the fourth quarter was driven by another record for consumables sales, demonstrating how utilization of our systems remains strong, while a relentless focus on cost control contributed to improved margins.”

Dr. Zeif continued, “We are innovating and investing as we expand our leadership in additive manufacturing. Our newest and most advanced FDM offering, the F3300, is building a strong pipeline of interest after announcing Toyota as its first customer, and engagement across our entire suite of offerings remains robust. As macro-economic conditions normalize and capital spending constraints ease, we believe the pent-up demand for our best-in-class offerings will unlock, driving the next phase of outsized growth and increased profitability for our company.”

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 legal provisions, (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 and goodwill, revaluation of our investments and the corresponding tax effect of those items, (iii) for certain non-GAAP measures, after eliminating the impact of changes attributable to currency exchange rate fluctuations, and (iv) after excluding changes in revenues solely attributable to divestitures of former subsidiary companies. 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.
