Executive Chairman Peter Leys commented, “The COVID-19 pandemic made 2020 an incredibly challenging year for economies worldwide, our customers, our business and our employees. For the first time in Materialise’s 30-year history, revenues decreased year over year. While uncertainty remains, we are encouraged by the fact that our fourth-quarter-2020 revenues grew double digits sequentially and that, over the same period, our deferred revenues from software license and maintenance fees grew by 3.4 million EUR. In 2020, we increased our R&D expenses by 7.1% compared to last year, in spite of the COVID-19 related decline of our revenues, and still posted a healthy Adjusted Ebitda of 20.4 million EUR. We closed 2020 with cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet of over 111 million EUR, a decrease of 17 million EUR compared to year-end 2019, caused mainly by our investments in 2020 in our strategic eyewear-related collaboration with Ditto, Inc and our acquisition of RS Scan to bolster our footwear initiative. In spite of the pandemic headwinds, we believe our continued R&D efforts and strategic investments position us well to expand our existing business and capture new growth opportunities as our company enters its fourth decade and the additive manufacturing market continues to develop.”

RSPrint Acquisition

On November 9, 2020 Materialise, which already owned 50% of RS Print, the owner of the Phits personalized insole product line, acquired the remaining shares of RS Print and substantially all of the assets of RS Scan, a market leader in the development and supply of intelligent foot measurement technology and systems. The acquisition increased the scope of our Materialise Manufacturing segment and impacted our results of operations for the fourth quarter of 2020 as well as the year ended December 31, 2020, increasing our revenues by 762 kEUR and decreasing our operating result by (562) kEUR.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Results

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 45,301 kEUR, a 10.7% decrease compared to 50,712 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA was 7,370 kEUR, compared to 7,749 kEUR for the same period in 2019. The Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue) for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 16.3% compared to 15.3% for the fourth quarter of 2019.

Revenue from our Materialise Software segment was 10,216 kEUR, a 15.7% decrease compared to 12,124 kEUR for the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment decreased to 3,867 kEUR from 5,026 kEUR while the Adjusted EBITDA margin was 37.9% compared to 41.5% for the prior-year period.

Revenue from our Materialise Medical segment was 17,188 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to 17,209 kEUR for the same period in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment increased 39.7% to 4,845 kEUR from 3,468 kEUR, while the Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 28.2% from 20.2%. The segment’s EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2020 amounted to 239 kEUR and was negatively impacted by the impairment of capitalized expenditures related to our tracheal splint development program and of goodwill and intangible assets of Engimplan, for an aggregate amount of (4.606) kEUR. Both impairment charges were non-cash. At December 1, 2020, Materialise acquired the remaining 25% shares of Engimplan in exchange for Engimplan spinal implant business line, which was non-strategic for Materialise.

Revenue from our Materialise Manufacturing segment was 17,889 kEUR, a decrease of 16.0% compared to 21,295 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2019. Revenue increased 26.4%, however, compared to the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was 1,099 kEUR compared to 1,761 kEUR while the Adjusted EBITDA margin was 6.1% compared to 8.3% for the prior-year period.

Excluding the impairment charge for capitalized expenditures related to our tracheal splint development program of (2,090) kEUR expenses decreased by (6.2)%.

Net other operating result was (296) kEUR compared to 1,394 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2019. Excluding non-recurring charges reflecting the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of Engimplan, and a positive revaluation of our initial 50% interest in RS Print, net other operating result was 1,450 kEUR.

Operating result was (1,974) kEUR, compared to 2,509 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2019. Excluding the non-recurring impairments and revaluation discussed in the two paragraphs above, our operating result was 1,862 kEUR.

Net financial result in the fourth quarter of 2020 was (596) kEUR compared to (558) kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2019. Due to our acquisition of all remaining shares of RS Print, there is no share in the result of a joint venture in the fourth quarter of 2020.

2021 Guidance

Mr. Leys concluded, “Although our fourth-quarter-2020 results and the customer feedback we have been receiving to date in 2021 are encouraging, our outlook is currently not sufficiently mature and is too diverse across our various segments and regions for us to provide quantitative guidance for our consolidated full-year-2021 performance. We do believe we have somewhat more visibility in the shorter term. In the first quarter of 2021, we currently expect both our Software and Medical segments will continue to recover steadily, with the potential of posting revenues that come close to their levels in the pre-pandemic first quarter of 2020. We do not expect our Manufacturing segment to recover to the same extent and at the same pace over that period. As a result, we believe that our consolidated revenues in the first quarter of 2021 will be 5% to 10% lower than our revenues in the same period of 2020. Based on the information we currently have, we believe that in the subsequent quarters of this year, as the COVID-19 crisis subsides, the entire group, including our Manufacturing segment, will perform well and grow sequentially. In line with our strategy we will continue to invest in our R&D programs and internal infrastructure, which will weigh on our overall results in 2021.”

Note on Comparability

The year 2019 has been restated to reflect certain reclassification adjustments and the final accounting of the Engimplan business combination. The fair value analysis with respect to the assets and liabilities acquired had not been finalized as of December 31, 2019. Within 12 months of acquisition, we completed the fair value analysis of the Engimplan business combination, with corresponding adjustments to intangible assets, goodwill, property, plant and equipment, inventories and contracts in progress. The impact has been accounted for as retrospective adjustments to our consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2019 and our consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2019. It concerned a fair value correction of the plant and equipment of 674 kEUR, goodwill of 567 kEUR and the related depreciation for an amount of (80) kEUR.

Non-IFRS Measures

Materialise uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental financial measures of its financial performance. 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 EBITDA is determined by adding share-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related expenses of business combinations, impairments and revaluation of fair value due to business combinations to EBITDA. Management believes these non-IFRS measures to be important measures as they exclude the effects of items which primarily reflect the impact of long-term investment and financing decisions, rather than the performance of the company’s day-to-day operations. As compared to net profit, these measures are 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 charges associated with impairments. Management evaluates such items through other financial measures such as 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. EBITDA 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
