Announces Date of Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Financial Results

• Close of sale of non-core software businesses for cash proceeds of approximately $64 million
• Repayment of all debt outstanding under senior secured term loan
• Official termination of ‘At-the-Market’ Equity Offering Program
• Strong Q4 preliminary financial performance with expected revenues between $170 million and $176 million
• Expected revenue reflects strong organic growth exceeding 20% in both Healthcare and Industrial business units on a consecutive quarter basis
  

ROCK HILL, S.C., Jan. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) has completed the sale of its Cimatron and GibbsCAM software businesses to a subsidiary of ST Acquisition Co., an affiliate of Battery Ventures, on January 1, 2021, resulting in purchase price proceeds of approximately $64.2 million, after certain adjustments and excluding $8.9 million of cash amounts transferred to the buyer.

Using a portion of the proceeds from the sale, the company paid off approximately $21 million of outstanding balances under its senior secured term loan facility. With the paydown of the term loan, the company is now free of any outstanding debt but continues to have availability under its senior secured revolving credit facility, which remains fully undrawn at this point. The company also terminated the previously announced at-the-market equity program (“ATM Program”), under which no shares of common stock were sold during the fourth quarter of 2020.

Additionally, the company is providing preliminary financial data for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The company expects revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 will be in the range of $170 million to $176 million and fourth quarter non-GAAP operating income in the range of $11 million to $19 million⁽¹⁾. The GAAP operating (loss) income for the fourth quarter is expected to be in the range of $(8.6) million to $0.5 million. This non-GAAP operating income range compares favorably to the non-GAAP operating income of $5.6M reported in Q4 2019 and $0.0M reported in Q3 2020. The GAAP operating loss for Q4 2019 was $(4.7) million and for Q3 2020 was $(67.6) million.

Dr. Jeffrey Graves, President and CEO of 3D Systems, said, “In the summer of 2020, we laid out a four-stage plan to deliver increased value to our customers and shareholders. This plan included: reorganization into two business units, Healthcare and Industrial Solutions; restructuring of our operations to gain efficiencies; divesting of non-core assets; and investing for accelerated, profitable organic growth. We are pleased to now see significant progress from these efforts, as reflected in accelerated top-line growth and rapidly strengthening operating margins. Our Team’s ability to deliver over 20% consecutive-quarter revenue growth in both business units, while executing large scale restructuring, was particularly gratifying to see. This was even more impressive when viewed with a backdrop of continuing headwinds from the COVID virus, which impacted our operations and those of our customers. Having surpassed our prior year, pre-COVID revenue performance in Q4, and with continued strong focus on operational execution, we are excited about the trajectory we are on as we enter the new year.”

Dr. Graves continued, “The divestiture of Cimatron and GibbsCAM, which were businesses focused on subtractive technologies, was an important step in our plans to refocus our company on our core mission – ‘to be the leader in enabling additive manufacturing solutions for applications in growing markets that demand high reliability products.’ These divestitures strengthened our balance sheet, enabling us to both pay off our debt and terminate the ATM Program much earlier than originally planned.”

Dr. Graves concluded, “With the benefits of our organizational alignment, our technology and application leadership, and our relentless focus on operational execution, we are more optimistic than ever about the exciting future we see ahead in 2021 and beyond.”

The company has not yet completed its financial and operating closing procedures for the fourth quarter and full year 2020, including but not limited to, review of various estimation accounts, recording of the divestures completed late in the fourth quarter, completion and review of reconciliations, and various other year-end closing procedures. Additionally, the preliminary financial data above has not been subject to audit, review or other procedures by the company’s independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, actual results may differ materially from the preliminary results shown above and will not be publicly available until the company reports its fourth quarter and full year 2020 results in late February 2021.
