The ExOne Company Reports First Quarter 2015 Results

 

    Revenue was $6.8 million; Non-machine revenue was $5.7 million, up 26% excluding foreign currency impact

 

    Delivered six machines, two of which qualify as first quarter sales

 

    Reaffirming 2015 guidance; Expecting 32% to 50% revenue growth and gross margin between 36% and 40% excluding non-recurring facility integration expenses

NORTH HUNTINGDON, PA, June 11, 2015 – The ExOne Company (NASDAQ: XONE) (“ExOne” or “the Company”), a global provider of three-dimensional (“3D”) printing machines and printed products to industrial customers, reported financial results today for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Consolidated sales declined $0.5 million, or 7%, compared with the prior year. However, changes in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted the 2015 sales by approximately $0.6 million, or 8%, compared with the 2014 first quarter. Non-machine revenue grew 18% to $5.7 million, representing 26% growth excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

S. Kent Rockwell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “One of our foremost goals is to place machines in service to advance the usage of our technology. During the first quarter, we met our target of delivering six machines, two of which were recorded as sales, two were delivered to customers, and two were leased – we expect three of these to become sales in 2015. Also, our non-machine revenue continues its trend of solid growth, which is a favorable factor for driving future machine sales, giving us continued confidence in our strategy and outlook.”

Given the long sales cycle and significance of a machine’s average selling price relative to total revenue, fluctuations in machine-sale revenue vary from quarter to quarter. ExOne does not believe that such quarter-to-quarter fluctuations are necessarily indicative of larger trends. The Company expects revenue to be weighted approximately 30% in the first half of 2015 versus 70% in the second half, due to accelerating volume of machine sales throughout the year.

First Quarter Operations – Mix, Volume and Inefficiencies Impact Results

Gross profit was breakeven in the 2015 first quarter, compared with $1.6 million, or 22.2% gross margin, in the 2014 first quarter. The 2015 quarter was unfavorably impacted by the mix of sales including the level of machine sales in the quarter, compounded by higher fixed costs and inefficiencies associated with the Company’s new and expanded production facilities. These inefficiencies included ERP system implementation expenses and costs incurred in connection with the transition of our German operations and development of operations at the Company’s PSC in Italy.

Operating loss was $7.9 million compared with operating loss of $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2014. SG&A expenses were $6.1 million, including $0.3 million of employee termination costs, compared with $5.2 million in the prior-year quarter. R&D expenses for the quarter decreased by $0.1 million to $1.7 million. Net loss for the reported quarter was $7.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $5.5 million, or $0.38 loss per diluted share, for the prior-year period.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was a $6.2 million loss in the 2015 quarter, compared with a $4.0 million loss during last year’s first quarter. ExOne management believes that when used in conjunction with other measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), that adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, assists in the understanding of operating performance. See the attached tables for important disclosures regarding the Company’s use of adjusted EBITDA as well as a reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Outlook and Strategy – Reaffirming 2015 Expectations

 

    Revenue expected to grow approximately 32% to 50%, to about $58 million to $66 million

 

    Gross margin expected to be between 36% and 40%, excluding anticipated non-recurring costs estimated at $0.5 million to $1.0 million to complete facility integrations

 

    SG&A expenses expected to be in a range of $21 million to $23 million, excluding approximately $0.5 million to $1.0 million of costs associated with ongoing implementation of the Company’s enterprise resource planning system

 

    R&D expenses expected to be in a range of $6.5 million to $7.5 million

 

    Capital expenditures expected to be between $5 million and $7 million

S. Kent Rockwell, Chairman and CEO, concluded, “We have put significant resources behind reaching our 2015 guidance. We’re focused on attaining our sales goals and improving our execution. We can feel the growing enthusiasm from our customers and we are directing our resources to the best opportunities that will lead to sales. We are better positioned than ever to respond to that growing demand as the adoption rate of our binder jetting technology accelerates.”

ExOne defines Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) as net loss (as calculated under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”)) plus interest expense, (benefit) provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, and other income – net. Use of Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, is intended as a supplemental measure of ExOne’s performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful to its investors to enhance their understanding of ExOne’s financial performance. Although Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily a measure of the Company’s ability to fund its cash needs, the Company understands that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance and to compare ExOne’s performance with the performance of other companies that report Adjusted EBITDA. ExOne’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
