The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of 3D Systems Corporation and all majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which a controlling interest is maintained (the “Company”).

A non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is considered an ownership interest in a majority-owned subsidiary that is not attributable to the parent. The Company includes noncontrolling interest as a component of total equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests are presented as an adjustment from net income used to arrive at net income attributable to 3D Systems Corporation in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).  

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s annual reporting period is the calendar year.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

All amounts presented in the accompanying footnotes are presented in thousands, except for per share information.
