ROCK HILL, South Carolina – February 28, 2014 – 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE: DDD) announced today that its fourth quarter revenue grew 52% from the prior year to a record $154.8 million on 34% overall organic growth, resulting in GAAP earnings of $0.11 per share and non-GAAP earnings of $0.19 per share for the fourth quarter.
For the fourth quarter 2013, gross profit increased 53% and gross profit margin remained flat at 51.7% compared to the 2012 fourth quarter, and contributed to GAAP net income of $11.2 million, and non-GAAP net income of $19.7 million.
For the full year 2013, revenue increased 45% to a record $513.4 million on 80% printers and other products growth and 29% organic growth, resulting in GAAP earnings of $0.45 per share and non-GAAP earnings of $0.85 per share for the year. Gross profit increased 48% and gross profit margin expanded 90 basis points to 52.1%.
“We are pleased to report another record revenue quarter on robust professional and advanced manufacturing printers’ demand, increased materials’ growth rate and total unit sales that more than tripled last year’s units,” said Avi Reichental, 3D Systems’ President and Chief Executive Officer.

- 3D printers and other products revenue increased 76% to $73.9 million.
- Print materials revenue grew 39% to $37.2 million.

Full Year 2013 Revenue Highlights (compared to 2012):
- 3D printers and other products revenue increased 80% to $227.6 million.
- Print materials revenue grew 24% to $128.4 million.

“Compared to our late quarter expectations, we are disappointed that our stronger order book didn’t convert to higher revenue, but instead, resulted in a near doubling of last quarter’s backlog. Despite our higher growth, certain revenue categories fell short of our expectations and the concentration of new product announcements deferred sales and suppressed expected gross profit margin for the quarter,” continued Reichental.
Consistent with its prior comments, the company more than doubled its fourth quarter R&D spending from $7.8 million the prior year to $16.6 million for the December quarter and continued to rapidly increase its sales, marketing, infrastructure and talent expenditures in support of its growth initiatives and recently announced joint developments and alliances. The impact of these expenditures was partially reflected in the unveiling of 24 new products between December 1st 2013 and January 9th 2014. The company also continued to expand its manufacturing capacity to accommodate increasing demand.
“Maintaining our historical performance doesn’t require this level of increased expenditures, but planning to double our revenue over the next couple of years does,” said Reichental. Although, in October, we guided for reduced earnings to reflect these actions, our late-quarter expenditures ramp surpassed our expectations.”
Management continues to focus on accelerating the company’s growth and expanding its market share. Consequently, management is prioritizing initiatives and investments that are central to its plans to double its revenue, over the next couple of years, ahead of short-term earnings, in order to deliver the full potential of its business model. Accordingly, management expects 2014 revenue to be in range of $680 million to $720 million and expects GAAP earnings per share in the range of $0.44 to $0.56 and non-GAAP earnings per share to be in the range of $0.73 to $0.85.
“We believe that 3D Printing is at the cusp of accelerated growth and that the ultimate measure of our success will be the sustainable value we create from our share and scale gains over time. While our stepped up actions and investments pressured our quarterly earnings, we believe that our actions set the stage to substantially compress the time it will take us to extend and solidify our leadership position and deliver greater value,” concluded Reichental.
