Proto Labs Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter 2016

 

Quarterly Revenue Increases 17 Percent Year over Year to Record $75.0 Million

 

MAPLE PLAIN, Minn. – July 28, 2016 – Proto Labs, Inc. (NYSE: PRLB), a leading online and technology-enabled, quick-turn, on-demand manufacturer, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

 

Second Quarter 2016 Highlights include:

 

 

Revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was $75.0 million, 17 percent above revenue of $64.0 million in the second quarter of 2015. Alphaform, the German company acquired in the fourth quarter of 2015, contributed $4.8 million in revenue in the second quarter. Excluding this contribution, legacy revenue totaled $70.2 million, an increase of 10 percent compared with the second quarter of 2015.

 

Revenue from 3D printing totaled $9.1 million. Excluding Alphaform’s $2.1 million in 3D printing revenue, legacy 3D printing revenue was $7.0 million, an increase of 29 percent from the 2015 second quarter.

 

The number of unique product developers and engineers served increased 14 percent to 13,519 from 11,822 in the second quarter of 2015.

 

Net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $10.7 million, or $0.40 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income, excluding the after-tax expense of stock compensation, amortization of intangibles, nonrecurring expenses and unrealized foreign currency gains, was $12.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

 

“Revenue growth was solid in the second quarter, driven by continued strong growth in 3D printing, strength in our European markets, and the contribution from Alphaform,” said Vicki Holt, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We were also pleased with the legacy growth in Europe in the quarter, which grew 24 percent and we saw an improved performance in Japan with a revenue increase of 46 percent year over year. In the Americas, we experienced slower than expected growth in injection molding and CNC machining. This was primarily due to a slowdown in the US industrial economy as well as attrition in sales leadership.

 

“During the quarter, we improved our gross margins in both our legacy operations as well as in our Alphaform business. We are also beginning to see traction from our expanded sales and marketing efforts of 3D printing in Europe and anticipate this business will continue to grow throughout the year.”

 

 
 

 

 

Additional Second Quarter 2016 Highlights include:

 

 

Gross margin was 56.4 percent of revenue for the second quarter compared with 58.7 percent for the second quarter of 2015 and 54.6 in the first quarter of 2016. Alphaform had a 310 basis point negative impact on gross margin in the second quarter of 2016.

 

GAAP operating margin was 19.8 percent of revenue during the second quarter of 2016 compared to 27.1 percent for the second quarter of 2015. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin was 23.6 percent. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

 

Cash generated from operations during the second quarter was $19.9 million. Cash and investments increased $7.1 million during the quarter to $164.3 million at June 30, 2016.

 

“Over the next several quarters, we will be focused on driving actions to improve our sales performance and efficiency through our operations and we expect to see improvement in sales growth, especially in the Americas, over time. We remain confident in the fundamentals in our business - our market size, differentiated proposition and excellent customer experience.” Ms. Holt concluded.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The company has included non-GAAP adjusted revenue growth that excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and legacy revenue excluding the revenue contribution from Alphaform from total revenues in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the company’s financial results. Management believes these metrics are useful in evaluating the underlying business trends and ongoing operating performance of the company.

 

The company has also included non-GAAP net income, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, unrealized foreign currency activity, impairment on assets and charges related to the exit of facilities (collectively, “non-GAAP net income”), in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the company’s financial results.

 

The company has also included a reconciliation of non-GAAP condensed consolidated statement of operations to GAAP condensed consolidated statement of operations. The non-GAAP condensed consolidated statement of operations provides non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income, which are used by the company’s management and board of directors to understand and evaluate operating performance and trends and provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of the company’s business. Accordingly, the company believes that non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
