Materialise NV (NASDAQ:MTLS), a leading provider of additive manufacturing and medical software and of sophisticated 3D printing services, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Highlights – Third Quarter 2022

  • Total revenue increased 11.7% to 58,288 kEUR compared to 52,195 kEUR for the third quarter of 2021.
  • Total deferred revenue from annual software sales and maintenance fees increased by 3,214 kEUR to 38,359 kEUR compared to December 31, 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was 5,072 kEUR, compared to 9,739 kEUR for the 2021 period.
  • Net profit for the third quarter of 2022 was 1,413 kEUR, or 0.02 EUR per diluted share, compared to 8,657 kEUR, or 0.15 EUR per diluted share, for the 2021 period.

Executive Chairman Peter Leys commented, “Demand for the products and solutions of each of our three segments remained solid even in these uncertain macro-economic times. Materialise’s revenue increased by almost 12% compared to the same period last year and our deferred revenue from annual software sales and maintenance fees increased by almost 10% compared to December 31, 2021. As a result of our continued investment in our growth businesses, but also because of inflation and, in particular our increased labor costs, our Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was 5,072 kEUR compared to 9,739 kEUR for the third quarter of 2021. Our results included operational investments in Identify3D, a developer of AM cloud security systems that we acquired on September 1, 2022.”

2022 Guidance

Mr. Leys concluded, “The revenue growth posted by each of our segments during the first nine months of this year strengthens our confidence that our full year 2022 revenues will be at least 10% higher than in 2021. While inflation and pressure on the labor market, which are higher and more persistent than we expected at the beginning of 2022, weigh on our results, we continue to make prudent investments in select growth businesses. As a result, we continue to expect that our consolidated EBITDA for the full year 2022 will be in the range of 20 mEUR to 25 mEUR.”

Non-IFRS Measures

Materialise uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental financial measures of its financial performance. EBITDA is calculated as net profit plus income taxes, financial expenses (less financial income), shares of profit or loss in a joint venture and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by adding share-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related expenses of business combinations, impairments and revaluation of fair value due to business combinations to EBITDA. Management believes these non-IFRS measures to be important measures as they exclude the effects of items which primarily reflect the impact of long-term investment and financing decisions, rather than the performance of the company’s day-to-day operations. As compared to net profit, these measures are limited in that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the company’s business, or the charges associated with impairments. Management evaluates such items through other financial measures such as capital expenditures and cash flow provided by operating activities. The company believes that these measurements are useful to measure a company’s ability to grow or as a valuation measurement. The company’s calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net profit or any other performance measure derived in accordance with IFRS. The company’s presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
