3D Systems Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

ROCK HILL, S.C., May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

• Revenue of $95 million as growth in new hardware systems and related services was offset by a decline in materials sales driven primarily by inventory management in the dental aligner market.
• Previously announced $50 million cost savings initiative proceeding on schedule for completion by mid-2026. Reduction in operating expenses in Q1 continues to reflect the Company’s focus on cost and efficiency.
• Company announcing an additional cost reduction initiative estimated to deliver $20 million incremental savings in 2025 to accelerate organizational alignment in response to potential macroeconomic and tariff risks.
• Company withdrawing full year guidance due to risk of protracted weakness in customer capex spending. Top priority on delivering profitability at current scale. Strong new product portfolio spanning all metal and polymer platforms positions company well for accelerated growth and profitability when customer capex rebounds.
• Balance sheet significantly strengthened as April sale of Geomagic portfolio provided over $100 million post-tax increase to Company cash reserves, which totaled approximately $250 million as of April 30, 2025.

Summary Comments on Results

Dr. Jeffrey Graves, president and CEO of 3D Systems said, “Our first quarter revenues reflect a continuation of challenging top-line pressures as many customers are delaying their capital investments in order to get greater clarity around potential tariff impacts on their manufacturing and distribution strategies. This is in addition to the ongoing geopolitical and broader macroeconomic uncertainty that we have been experiencing for some time. We believe that these factors led to a noticeable dampening of our customers’ near-term capital spending, particularly in consumer-facing and service bureau related end markets. While we were pleased to see this growth in new printer sales for the second straight quarter, the rate was clearly impacted by these capital spending delays. Encouragingly, this growth in printer sales was driven predominantly by our newest hardware systems, as our strengthened technology portfolio delivered strategic wins for all three of our metal printing platforms, and steady growth broadly in Aerospace and Defense markets. These wins bode well for the future, particularly in the high-reliability Healthcare and Industrial markets, which include Aerospace and Defense, and AI infrastructure, areas that have been an increasing focus for us for some time. These trends were true not only in our US markets, but also in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. With regard to materials sales, the decline we experienced was primarily related to short-term inventory management in the dental orthodontics market. More broadly within our Healthcare segment, we delivered impressive results in spite of the broader economy, with 17% growth in our Personalized Healthcare business, and 18% in our manufacturing operations for FDA-approved parts – both crucial elements of our growth strategy moving forward.”

Dr. Graves continued, “While margins remained under pressure given lower volumes and less favorable mix, we are focused intently on the items within our direct control. In this respect, our cost reduction plans that we announced last quarter are gaining momentum and contributed approximately $5 million of year-over-year improvement in operating expenses in Q1. While this is the progress we had anticipated, as we continue to assess the unpredictability of the current demand environment, we are taking a more conservative view with respect to revenue expectations for the remainder of 2025 and have announced additional, incremental actions to drive profitability improvements. These latest actions will ensure that our organizational capacity is aligned to our current demand environment. These new actions will be taken in the short term and are designed to deliver $20 million of in-year savings for 2025. Our deliberate preservation of R&D investments over the last few years has yielded a significant wave of new technology introduction across the entirety of our product portfolio, including both our polymer and metal platforms. While the short-term impact on profitability from these investments has been painful, based upon the strong customer interest we have received in these new products, we believe the strength of our offerings and the groundwork we have laid through our application specialists, will be a key competitive differentiator in the market as the headwinds on customer capex spending recede and new production inroads are expanded upon. This is particularly true in metal applications, where our new systems are increasingly preferred for high-quality/high-reliability component manufacturing, for applications within the human body, and in advanced industrial systems. With many of these new products now entering the critical phase of commercialization, our focus can expand to cost reduction activities, including significant footprint consolidations, simplification and modernization of our back-office activities, and a reorganization of our workforce to better align it with current market conditions. Given the scale of our company, we believe these actions can deliver profitability and the positive cash performance needed to sustain our development efforts and serve our customers’ production needs as they expand around the world. In addition, with the closing of our Geomagic asset sale in early April, we have strengthened our balance sheet by adding over $100 million of net proceeds, ending the most recent month with approximately $250 million of cash.”

Dr. Graves concluded, “So, in short, we have followed a very deliberate strategy for the last three years of investing to be a technology leader in both metals and polymers, and one that has full control over all design, production and sourcing operations that are essential to the quality of our products, as the market for new production applications of 3D printing now opens in earnest. While the short term headwinds driven by tariff risks and other factors are painful and require us to implement significant cost savings initiatives, in the longer-term the new opportunities for localized manufacturing within the US, Europe, India and other nations is a significant driver for long-term value creation for all of our stakeholders.”

First Quarter 2025 Results

Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 decreased 8% to $94.5 million compared to the same period last year. The revenue decrease primarily reflects lower materials sales, partially offset by growth in services and hardware systems.

Healthcare Solutions revenue decreased 9% to $41.3 million compared to the prior year period.

Industrial Solutions revenue decreased 7% to $53.2 million compared to the prior year period.

Gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2025 was 34.6% compared to 39.8% in the same period last year. Non-GAAP gross profit margin was 35.0% compared to 40.1% in the same period last year and decreased primarily due to lower volumes and unfavorable price and mix.

Net loss attributable to 3D Systems Corporation increased by $21.0 million to a loss of $37.0 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $3.8 million to a loss of $23.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year primarily driven by lower volumes and unfavorable price and mix, partially offset by an improvement in operating expenses as result of previously announced cost reduction actions.

2025 Outlook

Due to the risk of protracted weakness in customer capital investment spending, the Company is withdrawing full year guidance for 2025 as it continues to focus on delivering profitability at its current scale. The Company believes with its strong new product portfolio, spanning all metal and polymer platforms, it is well-positioned for accelerated growth and profitability when customer spending on capex rebounds.

Financial Liquidity

At March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $135.0 million and decreased $36.3 million since December 31, 2024. This decrease resulted primarily from cash used in operations of $33.8 million and capital expenditures of $2.8 million. At March 31, 2025, the company had total debt, net of deferred financing costs of $212.3 million.

Q1 2025 Conference Call and Webcast

3D SYSTEMS CORPORATION Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

Presentation of Information in this Press Release

3D Systems reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. Management also reviews and reports certain non-GAAP measures, including: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP diluted income (loss) per share, non-GAAP Operating expense and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that management does not view as part of 3D Systems ’ core results as they may be highly variable, may be unusual or infrequent, are difficult to predict and can distort underlying business trends and results. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures provide useful additional insight into underlying business trends and results and provide meaningful information regarding the comparison of period-over-period results. Additionally, management uses the non-GAAP measures for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance, including allocating resources and evaluating results relative to employee compensation targets. 3D Systems ’ non-GAAP measures are not calculated in accordance with or as required by GAAP and may not be calculated in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should thus be considered as supplemental in nature and not considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

To calculate the non-GAAP measures, 3D Systems excludes the impact of the following items:

• amortization of intangible assets, a non-cash expense, as 3D Systems ’ intangible assets were primarily acquired in connection with business combinations;
• costs incurred in connection with acquisitions and divestitures, such as legal, consulting and advisory fees;
• stock-based compensation expenses, a non-cash expense;
• charges related to restructuring and cost optimization plans, impairment charges, including goodwill, and divestiture gains or losses;
• certain compensation expense related to the 2021 Volumetric acquisition; and
• costs, including legal fees, related to significant or unusual litigation matters.

Amortization of intangibles and acquisition and divestiture-related costs are excluded from non-GAAP measures as the timing and magnitude of business combination transactions are not predictable, can vary significantly from period to period and the purchase price allocated to amortizable intangible assets and the related amortization period are unique to each acquisition. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. While intangible assets contribute to the company’s revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the sale of the company’s products or services. Additionally, intangible assets amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of the company’s acquisition activity. Accordingly, the company believes excluding the amortization of intangible assets enhances the company’s and investors’ ability to compare the company’s past financial performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to certain of our employees, the expense is non-cash in nature, and we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation; therefore, it is excluded from non-GAAP measures. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods. Charges related to restructuring and cost optimization plans, impairment charges, including goodwill, divestiture gains or losses, and the costs, including legal fees, related to significant or unusual litigation matters are excluded from non-GAAP measures as the frequency and magnitude of these activities may vary widely from period to period. Additionally, impairment charges, including goodwill, are non-cash. Furthermore, the company believes the costs, including legal fees, related to significant or unusual litigation matters are not indicative of our core business' operations. Finally, 3D Systems excludes contingent consideration recorded as compensation expense related to the 2021 Volumetric acquisition from non-GAAP measures as management evaluates financial performance excluding this expense, which is viewed by management as similar to acquisition consideration.

The matters discussed above are tax effected, as applicable, in calculating non-GAAP diluted income (loss) per share.

Adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income, plus income tax (provision) benefit, interest and other income (expense), net, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation expense, and other non-GAAP adjustments, all as described above, is used by management to evaluate performance and helps measure financial performance period-over-period.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the accompanying schedules.

Certain columns may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in thousands.

3D Systems does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain measures on a GAAP basis. The company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP gross profit margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and non-GAAP operating expense to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because certain items, including litigation costs, acquisition expenses, stock-based compensation expense, intangible assets amortization expense, restructuring expenses, and goodwill impairment charges are difficult to predict and estimate. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond the company’s control, and as such, any associated estimate and its impact on GAAP performance could vary materially.
