“We are pleased with our fourth quarter and full year profitability, and

build a strong operational foundation for future growth opportunities
and to invest in accelerating new product introductions to expand our
addressable markets,” said Elchanan (Elan) Jaglom, Interim Chief
Executive Officer of Stratasys. “Our consolidated top line results this
quarter reflect continued positive traction in high-end system and
materials sales for our PolyJet and FDM technology platforms, primarily
in North America, offset partially by the impact late in the quarter of
the government shutdown in the United States and what we believe is
temporary weakness in the Automotive sector in Europe.”

Financial Guidance:
Stratasys today provided the following information regarding the
Company’s guidance for projected revenue and net income for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2019:
-
Revenue guidance of $670 to $700 million.
-
As the Company stated on the earnings call today, revenue is
expected to grow during the first half of 2019, excluding the
impact of 2018 divestitures. The Company clarifies that it expects
the 2nd half of 2019 will represent 51%-53.5% of the 2019 revenue.
Revenue is subject to the variability that may be caused by the
shifting of large orders.
-
As the Company stated on the earnings call today, revenue is
-
GAAP net loss of $22 to $12 million, or ($0.40) to ($0.22) per diluted
share. -
Non-GAAP net income of $30 to $38 million, or $0.55 to $0.70 per
diluted share.
Stratasys also provided the following guidance regarding the Company’s
projected performance and strategic plans for 2019:
- Non-GAAP operating margins of 5.5% to 6.5%.
- Capital expenditures are projected at $45 to $60 million.
Given the expected ongoing negative impact of not recording a tax
benefit on U.S. tax losses on the Company’s non-GAAP net income, the
Company believes that the rate of growth in its non-GAAP operating
income is the best measure of its performance.
Non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $32 million of projected
amortization of intangible assets; $20 to $22 million of share-based
compensation expense; reorganization related and other expense of $1 to
$2 million; and includes ($3) to ($4) million in tax expenses related to
non-GAAP adjustments.
“We are entering into 2019 with an impressive roadmap of new technology
and products, and continued, steady progress in customer adoption of our
additive manufacturing solutions for advanced applications in our target
verticals of aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and high-realism rapid
prototyping,” continued Jaglom. “We are excited about our recent and
upcoming new product introductions and believe that we will see
accelerated growth beginning in 2020.”

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The statements in this press release regarding Stratasys’ strategy, and
the statements regarding its projected future financial performance,
including the financial guidance concerning its expected results for
2019, are forward-looking statements reflecting management’s current
expectations and beliefs. These forward-looking statements are based on
current information that is, by its nature, subject to rapid and even
abrupt change. Due to risks and uncertainties associated with Stratasys’
business, actual results could differ materially from those projected or
implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the degree of market
acceptance of our 3D printers, high-performance systems and consumables,
and the software and technology included in those systems; potential
declines in the demand for, or the prices of, our products and services,
or volume of our sales, due to decreased demand either for them
specifically or in the 3D printing market generally; potential shifts in
our product mix to lower-margin products or in our revenues mix towards
our AM services business; potential further charges against earnings
that we could be required to take due to impairment of additional
goodwill or other intangible assets; potential failure to successfully
consummate acquisitions or investments in new businesses, technologies,
products or services; the impact of competition and new technologies;
risks related to our relationships with our suppliers, resellers and
independent sales agents, and our operations at our manufacturing sites;
risks related to the international scope of our operations and
regulatory compliance (including reporting, environmental,
anti-corruption and other regulatory compliance) related to that scope
of operations; risks related to the security of our information systems
(including risks related to potential cyber-attacks); changes in the
overall global economic environment or in political and economic
conditions in the countries in which we operate; changes in our
strategy; costs and potential liability relating to litigation and
regulatory proceedings; and those additional factors referred to in Item
3.D “Key Information – Risk Factors”, Item 4, “Information on the
Company”, Item 5, “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” and
all other parts of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended
December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”), filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 7th,
2019. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various
disclosures made throughout our 2018 Annual Report that attaches
Stratasys’ unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements as of,
and for the quarter and full year ended, December 31, 2018, and its
review of its results of operations and financial condition for those
periods, which has been furnished to the SEC on or about the date
hereof, and our other reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, which
are designed to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that
may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects. Any guidance provided, and other forward-looking statements
made, in this press release are made as of the date hereof, and
Stratasys undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
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 (x) on an ongoing basis after excluding mergers, acquisitions
and divestments related expense or gains and reorganization-related
charges or gains, and (y) 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, changes in fair value of
obligations in connection with acquisitions 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.
