3D Systems Earns 14 Cents Per Share for Third Quarter 2011

Increased Revenue, Gross Profit and Cash From Operations

ROCK HILL, S.C., Oct. 27, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) announced today that it earned 14 cents per share for the third quarter of 2011. Gross profit rose by 48% on a 39% revenue increase compared to the third quarter of 2010.

The company generated $12.6 million cash from operations during the third quarter despite a $5.3 million increase in its operating expenses. The increase included $1.2 million of higher R&D expenditures compared to the 2010 period in support of a number of significant new product launches that occurred during the quarter and its consumer and design productivity growth initiatives.

"We are very pleased with our sustained growth and improved gross profit," said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems' President and Chief Executive Officer. "Importantly, we delivered record materials and services revenue, together with another record printer unit sales quarter."

The company entered the fourth quarter with positive sales momentum that is reflected in part by its September-end $11.3 million backlog including $6.3 million from its on-demand parts and the remainder from its printers and other products.

The table below summarizes the company's key 2011 financial results for the third quarter and nine months.

During the third quarter, the company generated revenue growth from all its revenue categories. 3D printer units sold tripled over the 2010 period, but accounted for only a $0.3 million revenue increase as a result of continued mix shift toward the company's lower price printers. Print materials grew 30% to $18.5 million on strong user demand and an expanded installed base. Services, including on-demand custom parts, increased by $11.5 million over 2010.

Gross profit margin for the quarter rose by 290 basis points over the 2010 period on higher revenue and favorable contributions from effective acquisitions' integration over time, together with other ongoing operational improvements, resulting in sequential rebounding to 48.3%.

Net income for the quarter included $2.0 million of litigation and acquisition-related expenses, $0.6 million currency revaluation expense and $3.0 million of non-cash expenses related to depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation expense.

The company ended the third quarter with $72.6 million of available cash and cash equivalents. During the first nine months of 2011, the company generated $18.8 million of cash from operations, raised $62.1 million in a common stock offering and used $47.4 million to fund its strategic investing activities.

 "We are pleased with the continued record printer unit sales and strong recurring revenue growth driven by our increasing user base. We believe that the marketplace for our expanded 3D content-to-print products and services is underpenetrated and that together with our diversified portfolio and growing geographic presence, positions us well for continued success. While we are concerned about the macro-economic uncertainty worldwide, we remain optimistic about our future and believe that we are on track to achieve our long-term objectives," concluded Reichental.
