Leadership Insights
Dr. Jeffrey Graves, President and CEO of 3D Systems, commented on the first quarter results, stating, “Our revenue results for the first quarter highlight the ongoing pressures from unfavorable macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, which have impacted hardware printer sales linked to customer capital expenditures. Despite these hurdles, we are observing strong interest in additive applications and some encouraging signs in specific demand markets. This gives us confidence that our top-line performance will improve as the year progresses.”
In the first quarter, the Healthcare Solutions segment saw a revenue decline of 6.8%, totaling $45.4 million, primarily due to decreased printer sales to a major orthodontics client. Meanwhile, revenue from Industrial Solutions dropped by 20.7%, reaching $57.5 million.
