Minneapolis & Rehovot, Israel, May 2, 2019 — Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS) announced financial results for the first quarter of 2019.

Q1 2019 Financial Results Summary:

Revenue for the first quarter of 2019 was $155.3 million, compared to $153.8 million for the same period last year.

● GAAP gross margin was 49.2% for the quarter, unchanged from the same period last year.

● Non-GAAP gross margin was 52.0% for the quarter, compared to 52.8% for the same period last year.

● GAAP operating loss for the quarter was $3.3 million, compared to operating loss of $6.5 million for the same period last year.

● Non-GAAP operating income for the quarter was $6.8 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $4.9 million for the same period last year.

● GAAP net loss for the quarter was $2.3 million, or ($0.04) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $13.0 million, or ($0.24) per diluted share, for the same period last year.

● Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $5.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $2.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, reported for the same period last year.

● The Company generated $4.6 million of cash from operations during the first quarter and ended the period with $367.8 million of cash and cash equivalents.

“We are pleased with our first quarter top-line results, and are particularly encouraged by the continuation of the strong performance we have seen in North America over the last several quarters, demonstrating steady adoption of our systems and materials in our largest market,” said Elchanan (Elan) Jaglom, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Stratasys. “We are also pleased with our non-GAAP profitability in the first quarter, demonstrating our continued commitment to controlling expenses and delivering shareholder value. Our recent new product introductions are generating significant interest from our customers and expanding our addressable markets, and we look forward to additional announcements as we move through 2019 and into 2020.”

Recent Product Announcements

At the recent Additive Manufacturing User Group conference, the Company made the following announcements of new products and features that it believes will expand its addressable markets and strengthen its leadership in rapid prototyping, manufacturing, and high-realism multi-color, multi-material 3D printing.

● F120 3D Printer – an industrial-grade system targeting customers new to additive manufacturing. Offering the benefits of the Stratasys F123 platform at an affordable price with reliable, accurate, and repeatable 3D printing, it is specifically designed for designers, engineers and educators.

● V650 Flex Stereolithography 3D Printer – Stratasys’ first commercially-available entry into the stereolithography marketplace, combining the power of a large-scale system with an open, configurable environment and fine-tuning across a broad range of available resins.

● Stratasys J750 and J735 Printers are now the first and only 3D printing systems with technology officially recognized as “Pantone-Validated” – allowing for synchronized color communication between designers, modelers and manufacturers.

Financial Guidance:

Stratasys today reiterated the following information regarding the Company’s guidance for projected revenue and net income for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019:

● Revenue guidance of $670 to $700 million.

● GAAP net loss of $22 to $12 million, or ($0.40) to ($0.22) per diluted share.

● Non-GAAP net income of $30 to $38 million, or $0.55 to $0.70 per diluted share.

Stratasys also reiterated the following guidance regarding the Company’s projected performance and strategic plans for 2019:

● Non-GAAP operating margins of 5.5% to 6.5%.

● Capital expenditures are projected at $45 to $60 million.

Given the expected ongoing negative impact of not recording a tax benefit on U.S. tax losses on the Company’s non-GAAP net income, the Company believes that the rate of growth in its non-GAAP operating income is the best measure of its performance.

Non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $32 million of projected amortization of intangible assets; $20 to $22 million of share-based compensation expense; reorganization related and other expense of $1 to $2 million; and includes tax adjustments of ($3) to ($4) million on the above non-GAAP items.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The statements in this press release regarding Stratasys' strategy, and the statements regarding its projected future financial performance, including the financial guidance concerning its expected results for 2019, are forward-looking statements reflecting management's current expectations and beliefs. These forward-looking statements are based on current information that is, by its nature, subject to rapid and even abrupt change. Due to risks and uncertainties associated with Stratasys' business, actual results could differ materially from those projected or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the degree of market acceptance of our 3D printers, high-performance systems and consumables, and the software and technology included in those systems; potential declines in the demand for, or the prices of, our products and services, or volume of our sales, due to decreased demand either for them specifically or in the 3D printing market generally; potential shifts in our product mix to lower-margin products or in our revenues mix towards our AM services business; the impact of competition and new technologies; potential further charges against earnings that we could be required to take due to impairment of additional goodwill or other intangible assets; potential failure to successfully consummate acquisitions or investments in new businesses, technologies, products or services; risks related to our relationships with our suppliers, resellers and independent sales agents, and our operations at our manufacturing sites; risks related to the international scope of our operations and regulatory compliance (including reporting, environmental, anti-corruption and other regulatory compliance) related to that scope of operations; risks related to the security of our information systems (including risks related to potential cyber-attacks); changes in the overall global economic environment or in political and economic conditions in the countries in which we operate; changes in our strategy; costs and potential liability relating to litigation and regulatory proceedings; and those additional factors referred to in Item 3.D “Key Information - Risk Factors”, Item 4, “Information on the Company”, Item 5, “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” and all other parts of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 7^th, 2019. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made throughout our 2018 Annual Report and the Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K that attaches Stratasys’ unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements as of, and for the quarter ended, March 31, 2019, and its review of its results of operations and financial condition for that period, which has been furnished to the SEC on or about the date hereof, and our other reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, which are designed to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Any guidance provided, and other forward-looking statements made, in this press release are made as of the date hereof, and Stratasys undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures

The non-GAAP data included herein, which excludes certain items as described below, are non-GAAP financial measures. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful information for investors and shareholders of our Company in gauging our results of operations (x) on an ongoing basis after excluding mergers, acquisitions and divestments related expense or gains and reorganization-related charges or gains, and (y) excluding non-cash items such as stock-based compensation expenses, acquired intangible assets amortization, including intangible assets amortization related to equity method investments, impairment of long-lived assets, and the corresponding tax effect of those items. These non-GAAP adjustments either do not reflect actual cash outlays that impact our liquidity and our financial condition or have a non-recurring impact on the statement of operations, as assessed by management. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance for internal planning and forecasting purposes. The limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures are that they provide a view of our results of operations without including all items indicated above during a period, which may not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies in our industry. Investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table below.

SLIDE 1 & 2: TITLE SLIDES

SPEAKER: Operator

Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to today’s conference call to discuss Stratasys’ first quarter 2019 financial results.

My name is [INSERT], and I’m your operator for today’s call. [INSERT RELEVANT INSTRUCTIONS].

And now, I’d like to hand the call over to Yonah Lloyd, Vice President of Investor Relations for Stratasys. Mr. Lloyd, please go ahead.

SLIDE 3 & 4: FLS & NON-GAAP DISCLOSURE

SPEAKER: Yonah Lloyd

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us to discuss our 2019 first quarter financial results. On the call with us today are Elan Jaglom, Interim CEO, David Reis, Vice-Chairman and member of our Board’s Oversight Committee, and Lilach Payorski, CFO. David is joining us remotely by phone.

Now I would like to turn the call over to our Interim CEO, Elan Jaglom. Elan?

SLIDE 5: OPENING SUMMARY

SPEAKER: Elan Jaglom

Thank you Yonah.

Good morning everyone and thank you for joining today’s call.

We are pleased with our first quarter top line results, and particularly encouraged by the continuation of the strong performance we have been seeing in North America over the last several quarters, demonstrating steady and continuing adoption of our systems and materials in our largest market. Overall, revenue was unfavorably impacted relative to the corresponding prior period by unfavorable changes to foreign exchange rates.

We are also pleased with our non-GAAP profitability in the first quarter, as we continue to show our commitment to control expenses and deliver shareholder value.

We are excited about our recent new product introductions, such as the F120 and V650 printers, which we believe will expand our addressable markets, and we look forward to sharing more about our portfolio roadmap later in the year.

I will return later in the call to provide an update on our search for a new Chief Executive Officer, and David will provide more details regarding the quarter and recent product announcements, but first I will turn the call over to our CFO, Lilach Payorski, who will review the details of our financial results.

Lilach?

SLIDE 6 & 7: FINANCIAL RESULTS SUMMARY

SPEAKER: Lilach Payorski

Thank you, Elan, and good morning, everyone.

Total revenue in the first quarter was $155.3 million compared to $153.8 million for the same period last year.

After adjusting for the sale of our divested entities during 2018, on a like-for-like basis total revenue was up 3% for the first quarter, and 5% after also adjusting for foreign-currency exchange rate changes.

GAAP operating loss for the first quarter was $3.3 million, compared to a loss of $6.5 million for the same period last year.

Non-GAAP operating income for the first quarter was $6.8 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $4.9 million for the same period last year.

GAAP net loss for the quarter was $2.3 million, or ($0.04) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $13.0 million, or ($0.24) per diluted share, for the same period last year.

Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $5.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $2.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, reported for the same period last year.

SLIDE 8: REVENUE

Product revenue in the first quarter was $105.1 million, an increase of 1% compared to the same period last year. Excluding the divested entities, product revenue increased by 4%.

Within product revenue, system revenue for the quarter was up 1%, and increased by 4% after adjusting for the divested entities, compared to the same period last year.

Consumables revenue for the quarter increased by 1% compared to the same period last year and increased by 3% after excluding the divested entities.

Services revenue in the first quarter was $50.2 million, an increase of 1% compared to the same period last year. The exclusion of the divested entities had no meaningful impact on the overall services revenue growth rate.

Within services revenue, customer support revenue, increased by 1% compared to the same period last year, and 2% excluding divested entities.

SLIDE 9: GROSS MARGIN TRENDS

GAAP gross margin was 49.2% for the quarter, unchanged from the same period last year.

Non-GAAP gross margin was 52.0% for the first quarter, compared to 52.8% for the same period last year, driven by the mix of revenue sources.

SLIDE 10: OPERATING EXPENSES & OPERATING INCOME

GAAP operating expenses decreased by 3% to $79.7 million for the first quarter, as compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the exclusion of our divested entities.

Non-GAAP operating expenses decreased by 3% to $73.9 million for the first quarter as compared to the same period last year, driven by a continued focus on administrative cost controls, R&D project timing and the impact of divestments.

SLIDE 11: BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY & CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS

The Company generated $4.6 million of cash from operations during the first quarter, as compared to $27.1 million of cash generated in the first quarter last year. The reduced cash generation compared to last year is primarily due to timing of tax payments, and proactive steps to increase inventory levels in order to improve fulfillment time and support product demand.

We ended the first quarter with $367.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $393.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease in our cash balance relative to the prior quarter is primarily due to a mortgage repayment.

SLIDE 12: FINANCIAL SUMMARY

To recap:

1.	We are pleased with our first quarter results and encouraged by the continuation of the strong performance we have been seeing in North America over the last several quarters in both systems and materials.
2.	Our results reflect a continuation of strong non-GAAP earnings, demonstrating the success of our ongoing effort to maintain operational discipline and expense management.
3.	We continue to enjoy a healthy balance sheet and are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities moving forward.

I would now like to turn the call back over to Elan.

SLIDE 13: UPDATE ON CEO SEARCH / CEO ANNOUNCEMENT

Thank you, Lilach.

Our search for a new CEO is moving ahead and we continue our dialogue with candidates.

While we had hoped to finalize the process by now, we are happy to have a strong, experienced oversight committee reporting to me that has done an excellent job advising our team during the interim period.

We believe that the diligence and careful consideration we are taking during the search process will be well-rewarded once we make a decision and we look forward to completing the process and announcing our new CEO.

I would now like to ask David to provide more detailed information regarding the results of the quarter, David?

SLIDE 14 - 15: Q1 2019 UPDATE

Thank you, Elan.

Our first quarter results reflect a continuation of the trends we observed in the fourth quarter of last year, with strong hardware and consumables growth in the US, our largest market.

In the US we had a very good quarter for our high-end Fortus FDM production systems, driven in part through continued adoption by aerospace OEMs. As we have mentioned before, our high-end platforms generate more utilization per unit, which we believe will lead to accelerated future annuity streams from materials and services.

The US also saw a strong quarter for our F123 platform, with continued interest in our new Elastomer TPU material-enabled edition.

Overall, we continue to see increased adoption in our target verticals of aerospace, automotive, and healthcare and dental.

We are pleased with the early traction we are seeing from our new products launched last year, including the F380 Carbon Fiber Edition, and the previously mentioned Elastomer TPU-enabled version of our F123 Printer. We also began shipping the new MakerBot Method at the end of the first quarter, after showing strong pre-order demand.

SLIDE 16: NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS

Recently, at the Additive Manufacturing User Group conference, we made several announcements:

1.	We introduced the new F120 3D Printer – an industrial-grade system targeting customers new to additive manufacturing. The F120 offers the benefits of our F123 platform at an affordable price, and provides reliable, accurate, and quality 3D printing specifically designed for designers, engineers and educators. The market response has been very positive, and we look forward to shipping the F120 later this year.
2.	We also showcased our new V650 Flex Stereolithography 3D Printer – our first commercially-available entry into this marketplace that combines the power of a large-scale system with an open, configurable environment that is fine-tunable across a broad range of available resins. The V650 gives customers greater accuracy, choice, and lower costs for 3D printed prototyping and part development. Select DSM resins tailored for specific applications will be commercially available directly from Stratasys. Interest has been strong, and we expect to place units at customer sites throughout the year and beyond.
3.	Finally, we announced our collaboration with Pantone – the authority on professional color standards and digital solutions across the design industry. The Stratasys J750 and J735 Printers are now the first and only 3D printing systems with technology officially recognized as “Pantone-Validated” – allowing for synchronized color communication between designers, modelers and manufacturers. We expect to continue to see demand for our high-end PolyJet solutions from industries that require high levels of realism, including the consumer-packaged goods (CPG) and medical segments.

These represent just the beginning of a series of product launches and announcements that we plan to make over the next 18 months and beyond, that we believe, collectively will meaningfully expand our portfolio and contribute to accelerated growth beginning in 2020.

In addition to upcoming new innovations for our FDM and PolyJet portfolios, we expect to increase our manufacturing-focused materials offerings, add additional technologies that expand our addressable markets, and pursue collaborations that enhance our abilities to enter into high requirement industries and applications.

SLIDE 17: AEROSPACE

I would like to briefly mention a significant milestone that we achieved in our key vertical segment of aerospace.

Recently, the National Institute of Aviation Research, or NIAR, published a National Center for Advanced Materials Performance (NCAMP) material specification, process specification and extensive test and analysis reports, which document the performance, or the design allowables, achievable with a Fortus 900mc and ULTEM 9085 in our Aircraft Interior Solution configuration.

While aerospace companies often develop their own processes and standards, this specification document makes it easier for others in industry and supply chain to leverage our technology with a fraction of the testing, qualification and investment needed previously, and without the risk of an unknown outcome. The only way to meet this standard is to run ULTEM from Stratasys on a qualified Fortus production system.

We are extremely excited about reaching this milestone and look forward to the continued adoption of our technology for advanced manufacturing applications in aerospace.

I would now like to turn the call over to our VP of Investor Relations, Yonah Lloyd, who will provide greater details on our 2019 financial guidance. Yonah?

SLIDE 18: REVENUE & EARNINGS GUIDANCE

SPEAKER: Yonah Lloyd

Thank you, David.

We are providing full year guidance for 2019 as follows:

1.	Revenue guidance of $670 to $700 million.
2.	GAAP net loss of $22 to $12 million, or ($0.40) to ($0.22) per diluted share.
3.	Non-GAAP net income of $30 to $38 million, or $0.55 to $0.70 per diluted share.
4.	Non-GAAP operating margin of 5.5% to 6.5%.
5.	Capital expenditures projected at $45 to $60 million.

Our guidance reflects growth combined with a continued showing of operational efficiency, as our profitability will increase relative to the top-line.

Non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $32 million of projected amortization of intangible assets; $20 to $22 million of share-based compensation expense; reorganization related and other expenses of $1 to $2 million; and includes tax adjustments of ($3) to ($4) million on the above non-GAAP items.

The estimated non-GAAP tax rate for 2019 is impacted by the ongoing non-cash valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that we expect to record throughout the year on U.S. losses.

Given the expected ongoing negative impact of not recording a tax benefit on U.S. tax losses on our net income, as well as significant quarter to quarter variability in our non-GAAP tax rate, the Company believes non-GAAP operating income is the best measure of our performance.

Appropriate reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are provided in a table at the end of our press release and slide presentation, with itemized detail concerning the non-GAAP financial measures.

Operator, please open the call for questions.

SLIDE 19: Q&A

SPEAKER: Elan Jaglom

Thank you for joining today’s call. We look forward to meeting those of you that will attend the Rapid TCT conference later this month in Detroit, and to speaking with all of you again next quarter.
