Materialise Reports Fourth Quarter 2014 Results

LEUVEN, Belgium, March 4, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Materialise NV (Nasdaq: MTLS ), a leading provider of additive manufacturing software and of sophisticated 3D printing services, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2014.

Highlights – Fourth Quarter 2014

  • Total revenue increased 20.9% from the fourth quarter of 2013 to 23,591 kEUR.
  • 3D Printing software sales increased 50.8% from the fourth quarter of 2013.
  • Total software sales were 35.1% of total revenue.
  • Significant acceleration of R&D (increase of 1,758 kEUR) and S&M (increase of 2,641 kEUR).
  • Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-cash stock based compensation expenses, was 927 kEUR for a 3.9% margin.

Executive Chairman Peter Leys commented, "Our first year as a public company has been very encouraging and we accomplished our plans operationally and financially. In the fourth quarter, we accelerated the deployment of funds we raised in our initial public offering, while continuing to execute our growth initiatives, in order to capitalize on exciting new opportunities in the 3D sector, taking steps to both strengthen and broaden our global sales force and to pursue an even wider array of promising R&D programs. The launch of our build processors, the solid progress we have made in our X-ray guide project, our acquisition of OrthoView, the extension of our technology offering to metal printing for medical purposes, the opening of a new sales and development office in China and the start of the i.materialise franchise program are just a few examples of the way in which we have been implementing our strategy. We are pleased that, in addition to launching these many initiatives, which should form the basis for our company's future growth, we succeeded in significantly growing our business during 2014."

Fourth Quarter 2014 Results

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased by 20.9% to 23,591 kEUR compared to 19,505 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2013, driven by a very strong gain in the software segment and solid double-digit growth in the medical and industrial production segments. Excluding revenue from OrthoView, total revenue for the quarter increased 16.1%. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding stock-based compensation expenses, decreased from 2,315 kEUR to 927 kEUR, reflecting ongoing investments in both research and development ("R&D"), which increased by 1,758 kEUR to 19.8% of total revenue, and sales and marketing, which increased by 2,641 kEUR to 39.5% of total revenue. The Adjusted EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter was 3.9% compared to 11.9% in the fourth quarter in the last year.

Revenues from the 3D Printing Software segment, which offers proprietary software worldwide through programs that enable and enhance the functionality of 3D printers and 3D printing operations, increased by 50.8% to 5,424 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2014 from 3,597 kEUR for the same quarter last year. Growth was fueled by a significant increase in new license sales across all regions, showing accelerated growth in revenue generated with Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs"). EBITDA increased from 1,283 kEUR to 1,665 kEUR while the EBITDA margin declined to 30.7% from 35.7% last year due to significant increases in both sales and marketing ("S&M") and R&D expenses, which, in line with the company's announced strategy, collectively increased 62% year-over-year.

Revenues from the Medical segment, which offers both a medical software platform and a portfolio of medical devices and clinical engineering services, increased by 18.0% to 8,813 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to 7,470 kEUR for the same period in 2013. Excluding the impact of the OrthoView acquisition on our fourth quarter 2014 results, organic growth in revenue was 5.4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. These results continue to reflect the impact of the conversion from perpetual to annual licenses and the maturation of the knee guide business. Sales of medical software increased 80.1% to 2,651 kEUR from 1,472 kEUR mainly due to the inclusion of OrthoView license revenue. Organic revenue from medical software licenses increased 16.4% as a result of the increase in annual licenses, which now represent 46% of new license sales as compared to 14% in last year's period. Revenues from the direct sale of guides and implants increased by 53.5% from the prior-year period and represented 18% of total medical revenues in the fourth quarter. EBITDA decreased from 1,120 kEUR to 501 kEUR and the EBITDA margin fell to 5.7% from 15.0% due to significant investments in S&M and R&D expenses (up 39% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013), including the company's investments in metal printing and X-ray guide technology, among others, which directly impacted profitability.

Revenues from the Industrial Production segment, which primarily offers 3D printing services to industrial and commercial customers, increased 14.0% to 9,563 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2014 from 8,389 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2013. Growth in the quarter was largely driven by higher sales of the company's early-stage growth businesses (i.materialise and RapidFit), which collectively increased their revenue by 76%. Sales of end parts rose 40.2% in the fourth quarter of 2014 from the same period in the prior year. EBITDA declined to a loss of 38 kEUR from a profit of 293 kEUR and the EBITDA margin dropped to -0.4% from 3.5% for the fourth quarter of the prior year. Excluding the growth businesses, the EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter was 13.1% as compared to 16.4% the fourth quarter of the prior year.

Gross profit was 14,048 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to 10,611 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2013. The gross profit margin increased to 59.5% for the fourth quarter of 2014 from 54.4% for the fourth quarter of the prior year. This increase was largely due to a greater mix of software revenue.

R&D expenses increased by 60% to 4,679 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2014 from 2,921 kEUR for the same period in the prior year, reflecting continued investment with a number of active projects in various stages of development, including metal printing and X-ray. All of the company's R&D spending was expensed and none was capitalized.

Sales, general and administrative expenses were 12,500 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to 7,866 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of 58.5%. This 4,614 kEUR increase is partially related to the inclusion of OrthoView in the fourth quarter numbers, and partially the result of the substantial increase in number of new recruits in the sales and marketing organization of all three segments.

Other operating income increased by 572 kEUR to 2,230 kEUR in the fourth quarter of 2014 from 1,658 kEUR in the same period of prior year. For the fourth quarter of 2014, 1,288 kEUR out of the 2,230 kEUR consisted of withholding tax exemptions for qualifying researchers and partial funding of R&D projects, as compared to 602 kEUR for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Financial income for the fourth quarter of 2014 rose to 368 kEUR from a loss of (491) kEUR in the same period in the prior year due to a foreign exchange gain on the portion of initial public offering proceeds kept in U.S. dollars .

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2014 was (546) kEUR, versus a profit of 1,224 kEUR for the same period in the prior year. Total comprehensive loss for the fourth quarter of 2014, which reflects exchange differences on translation of foreign operations, was (657) kEUR compared to a profit of 1,303 kEUR for the same period in the prior year.

At December 31, 2014, the company had cash and equivalents of 51,019 kEUR, not including 10,000 kEUR held to maturity investments, together representing an increase of 48,421 kEUR since December 31, 2013, largely due to cash received from the company's initial public offering. Cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter of 2014 was (419) kEUR.

Net shareholders' equity at December 31, 2014 was 85,167 kEUR, an increase of 67,432 kEUR since December 31, 2013.

Full Year 2014 Results

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased by 18.4% to 81,355 kEUR as at December 31, 2014 compared to 68,722 kEUR for the year ended December 31, 2013, driven by a strong performance of the software and industrial production segments. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased from 11.1% for the year ended December 31, 2014 to 7.1% for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of 1,858 kEUR. This decrease is the combined result of a 42.4% increase in R&D expenses and a 23.2% increase in S&M expenses.

Revenues from the 3D Printing Software segment increased by 34.7% to 18,095 kEUR for the twelve months of 2014 compared to 13,432 kEUR for 2013. This growth was fueled by a 48% increase in new licenses and a 54% increase of sales to OEM's. The EBITDA margin decreased from 38.3% in 2013 to 36.4% in 2014, as a result of the 40% increase in S&M and R&D expenses.

Revenues from the medical segment showed a 7.3% growth by the end of Dec 2014 to 30,034 kEUR from 27,992 kEUR by the end of 2013, driven by an 8.8% increase in revenue from medical software and a 43% increase in direct sale of guides and implants. EBITDA margin decreased from 17.8% to 9.7% resulting from the 21% increase in S&M and R&D expenses.

Revenues from the industrial production segment increased from 27,239 kEUR for the twelve months of 2013 up to 33,222 kEUR by the end of 2014, a growth of 22%. Revenue from end parts increased by 47%. EBITDA margin decreased from 3.8% in 2013 to 3.4% in 2014 as a result of our investments made in the two growth businesses (i.materialise and RapidFit). Excluding the growth businesses, the EBITDA margin for the full year 2014 was 14.5% as compared to 14.2% for the full year 2013.

Net profit decreased from 3,412 kEUR for 2013 to 1,872 kEUR for 2014.

2015 Guidance

In executing its long-term growth plans, Materialise expects to continue investing heavily in research and development and sales and marketing initiatives in fiscal 2015, building on programs begun in fiscal 2014 and implementing new initiatives intended to strengthen the company's market leadership and take advantage of high-growth opportunities in the rapidly evolving 3D market. The new initiatives include the launch of new software solutions addressing the growing demand for manufacturing of end parts; the integration of the company's 3D planning solutions in the OrthoView product portfolio; and the launch of metal printing for industrial purposes. Reflecting the accelerated pace of investment planned for 2015, management expects consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2015 to be between 4,000 kEUR and 5,000 kEUR. For fiscal 2015, management expects to report consolidated revenue between 99,000 kEUR and 101,000 kEUR.

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 loss in a joint venture and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by adding non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and non-recurring IPO related expenses 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 may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net profit or any other performance measure derived in accordance with IFRS. The company's presentation of EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
