"Revenue growth in the third quarter of 2005 continues to reflect the strong underlying trends we mentioned in previous quarters as we move forward with the transformation of our business model, product mix and product portfolio with increasingly positive traction," said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems' president and chief executive officer.
Revenue from systems and other products increased by more than 10% in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 compared with the prior-year periods. These increases reflected continuing strong unit demand from large-frame systems, further fueled by the introduction of new-generation selective laser sintering and stereolithography rapid manufacturing systems and a favorable price/mix effect.
Revenue from engineered materials and composites increased by over 20% in both the third quarter and first nine months, primarily reflecting strong unit growth from VisiJet(R) 3-D printing materials, newly introduced SLA(R) and SLS(R) plastic materials and the company's success in attracting additional customers to its growing portfolio of engineered materials and composites.
Revenue from services declined by approximately 6% and 1% in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, primarily due to lower revenue from customer training, maintenance and upgrade services, reflecting a deliberate shift in the company's marketing strategy to de-emphasize its ongoing support of certain legacy systems.
Revenue By Class of Product and Service ($ in millions) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Third Quarter First Nine Months ------------------------------------------ Product or Service 2005 2004 % Change 2005 2004 % Change ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Systems and other products $12.1 $10.9 11% $34.1 $30.6 11% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Materials $10.9 $8.8 23% $31.9 $26.4 21% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Services $9.3 $9.9 (6)% $29.6 $30.0 (1)% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $32.3 $29.7 9% $95.5 $87.1 10% ----------------------------------------------------------------------
"While on the surface third-quarter revenue growth is somewhat disappointing, it is worth noting that we ended the third quarter with over $9.8 million of orders for shipments to be made in the fourth quarter and in subsequent periods, primarily for the purchase of systems. Over $6.4 million of those orders are scheduled for shipment in the fourth quarter of this year, and the balance of them are scheduled to be shipped in 2006. Given our relatively short lead times for delivery of our systems, we typically end every quarter with little or no backlog. The substantial backlog of orders at the end of the third quarter is of such magnitude that it gives us confidence that our business model is continuing to gain traction and momentum.
"Notwithstanding our successes to date, the kind of business transformation that we are involved in does not come without corresponding investments and costs of the kind reflected in our third-quarter profitability," continued Reichental.
With this higher level of revenue and corresponding investments and costs for the third quarter of 2005:
-- The company reported that operating income declined to $1.5 million in the third quarter from $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2004, primarily reflecting lower margins associated with its service business, higher R&D expenses, and higher SG&A expenses arising primarily from the absence this year of benefits that the company recognized in the 2004 quarter from reductions in various accruals.
-- The company reported that net income available to common stockholders declined to $0.7 million from $1.7 million in the 2004 quarter, primarily due to its lower operating income.
And for the first nine months of 2005:
-- The company reported a fourfold increase in operating income to $4.8 million from $1.2 million in the 2004 period.
-- The company reported that net income available to common stockholders grew to $2.4 million, a $4.4 million improvement over the company's $2.0 million loss in the 2004 period, primarily due to its higher operating income.
Foreign currency translation had a slightly unfavorable effect on consolidated revenue for the 2005 quarter and a 1.1% favorable impact on revenue for the first nine months.
"Our newly introduced state-of-the-art rapid manufacturing systems, our initiatives to increase recurring revenue from materials and composites, continuing growth in our InVision(TM) 3-D printing installed base and the 2004 restructuring of our U.S. sales organization all contributed to the higher level of revenue in the third quarter," added Reichental.
"Sales of new products introduced within the last two years grew to almost 28% of total revenue in the quarter and over 23% of total revenue in the first nine months of the year, validating our accelerated product mix transformation and the investments in R&D and other related field support activities that we have made during the past two years," continued Reichental.
The company experienced strong revenue growth from its operations in the U.S., which rose almost 28% in the third quarter and 17% in the first nine months of 2005 as the company realized the benefits of the 2004 restructuring and realignment of its U.S. sales organization. Revenue from European operations increased only modestly in the first nine months because of unfavorable economic conditions in several European countries and reflected a slight increase for the quarter. Although revenue from Asia-Pacific operations in the first nine months was almost 8% ahead of last year's period, it decreased by 14% in the third quarter compared to 2004 levels, reflecting the lumpy effect that large-frame systems' sales can have on parts of our business in a given reporting period.

Gross profit increased by 6% to $14.9 million for the 2005 quarter and by 10% to $42.2 million in the first nine months of 2005. Gross profit margin declined by 1.5 percentage points in the third quarter compared to last year's quarter reflecting primarily the effect of our shift in service strategy but increased by a modest amount in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the 2004 period.
Product cost of sales continued to benefit from outsourcing activities but was adversely impacted during the nine-month period by the unfavorable effect of foreign currency transaction items and higher warranty costs. Service cost of sales was adversely affected by increased spending for field service and training activities associated with the significant number of new product introductions and a special compensation-related charge.
Gross Profit Margins ($ in millions) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Third Quarter First Nine Months ------------------------------------------ 2005 2004 % Change 2005 2004 % Change ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Products $12.1 $9.9 $32.5 $27.0 % Revenue 53% 50% 22% 49% 47% 20% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Services $2.8 $4.1 $9.7 $11.4 % Revenue 30% 42% (34)% 33% 38% (14)% ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $14.9 $14.1 $42.2 $38.4 % Revenue 46% 47% 6% 44% 44% 10% ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total operating costs increased by 1.8 percentage points to 41% of revenue in the third quarter but declined by 3.6 percentage points to 39% of revenue in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the corresponding period of 2004.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million in the third quarter primarily due to the absence in the 2005 period of the benefit in 2004 of reductions in certain accruals. The $0.4 million decrease during the first nine months arose predominantly from lower legal fees.
Strategic and tactical R&D expenditures increased to $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2005 from $2.6 million in 2004, and increased by $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2005. In both periods, these costs related to activity with selected R&D projects and R&D costs associated with new products. The company expects R&D expenditures to be in the range of 7.5% to 8.5% of total revenue for the full year 2005.
"We believe that we are benefiting increasingly from our strategic initiatives, and it is worth noting that on a year-to-date basis we are achieving far greater results from comparable expenditures," continued Reichental. "We are very pleased with the positive and enthusiastic reception we experienced from early adopters of our new Sinterstation(R) Pro and Viper(TM) Pro systems and with the continued strong top-line growth in the third quarter from our rapid manufacturing and 3-D printing initiatives, validating our ongoing investments in R&D and other related field service operations. We believe that the continued strong growth of our materials' revenue justifies the cost of our investment in previous quarters in connection with marketing campaigns to attract additional customers to our new and differentiated value proposition," said Reichental.
Despite investments of $9.5 million during the quarter in inventory, progress payments to contract manufacturers and R&D associated with new product roll-out and development, cash and cash equivalents declined only $2.1 million during the quarter to $26.0 million at September 30, 2005. Accounts receivable days' sales outstanding increased by less than one day compared to 2004's third-quarter.
"We are very fortunate to have the resources that enable us to make substantial investments to enhance our overall business model, further optimize our cost structure and continue to improve our customer's overall satisfaction and bottom line.
"In keeping with our objectives, we are announcing separately today that we are embarking on a program to move to a new headquarters and R&D facility that will combine our Valencia, California and Grand Junction, Colorado facilities. This program should enable us to effect cost savings, gain further efficiencies and enhance customer responsiveness. We are also currently devoting significant resources to converting our global information technology systems to an Oracle-based ERP system. We expect this system to be implemented during the first and second quarters of 2006. And we are continuing with substantial R&D spending for new systems and new engineered materials and composites," concluded Reichental.
3D Systems will discuss its operating results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2005, as well as its relocation plans, on a conference call and audio web cast to be held at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (8:00 a.m. Pacific Time) today. Details are set forth below.

3D Systems' complete suite of customer solutions includes:
-- 3-D Printing systems, which accept digital input from a three-dimensional CAD station, convert the digital file one horizontal slice at a time. The standard (SR) and high-resolution (HR) printers jet hot-melted plastic material in an additive layer-by-layer build-up to create a solid part. The LD unit uses layered deposition (LD) technology to build complex geometrical shapes one slice thickness at a time. 3-D Printers enable designers, engineers, architects and marketers to communicate their concepts frequently, and to substantially reduce the time it takes to bring new products to market.
-- Stereolithography or SLA(R) systems convert proprietary materials and composites into solid cross-sections, layer by layer, until the desired parts are built. SLA(R) systems are capable of making multiple parts of different geometries and shapes at the same time and are designed to produce prototypes, patterns or end-use parts that have a wide range of sizes and shapes.
-- Selective Laser Sintering or SLS(R) systems use heat to melt and fuse, or sinter, powdered materials into solid cross-sections, layer by layer, until the desired parts are complete. SLS(R) systems can create parts from a variety of plastic and metal materials and composites and are capable of processing multiple parts within the same build cycle.
-- Engineered materials and composites that the company blends and markets under a variety of brand names for use in all of the company's systems to produce high-quality models, prototypes and parts. Stereolithography materials are marketed under the Accura(R) brand, selective laser sintering materials under the DuraForm(R), LaserForm(TM) and CastForm(TM) brands, and 3-D printing materials under the VisiJet(R) brand. The company also distributes additional materials and composites that are manufactured by DSM Somos(R) and Dreve in order to enhance the portfolio of solutions available from the company.
-- Software for proprietary part preparation for use on personal computers and engineering workstations. These proprietary software packages generate the information required by the company's SLS(R), SLA(R) and 3-D printing systems to create three-dimensional models and parts.
-- Services that the company provides include a suite of comprehensive customer services and local field support that are provided on a worldwide basis for all of the company's systems. Such services and support include extended system warranties, an extensive menu of annual service agreement options, and a wide variety of software and hardware upgrades and performance enhancement packages for legacy systems.
Broad Applications and End-Uses:
-- 3-D Printing system solutions are used for concept-modeling and three-dimensional printing applications. 3-D printed parts are used primarily for visualizing and communicating mechanical design applications. They are also used for other applications including supply-chain management, architecture, art, surgical modeling, marketing and entertainment.
-- Rapid prototyping system solutions are used for rapid prototyping applications, including the generation of product concept models, functional prototypes and master-casting and tooling patterns that are often used as an efficient, cost-effective means of evaluating product designs.
-- Rapid manufacturing system solutions are used for rapid manufacturing applications to manufacture end-use parts, jigs, fixtures, tools and patterns directly from a digital image. The company's rapid manufacturing customers produce end-use parts without the need for expensive tooling or molds and without lengthy set-ups, resulting in significant savings, flexibility and mass customization capabilities.

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005, shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock and convertible subordinated debentures were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive; that is, they would have increased net income per share. Weighted average shares outstanding for the quarterly and year-to-date periods used to calculate diluted net income per share include the effect of the assumed exercise of 1,753 and 1,978, respectively, of in-the-money stock options outstanding throughout each respective period together with the dilutive effect of those in-the-money stock options that were canceled or exercised in each period, prorated for the period of time they remained outstanding. Pursuant to the treasury-stock method, the assumed exercise of these options resulted in the inclusion of a net 1,076 and 1,141 diluted shares of common stock, respectively. At September 30, 2005, there were 4,887 potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted calculation comprised of 50 out-of-the-money stock options, 2,617 shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock and 2,220 shares issuable upon conversion of the 6% convertible subordinated debentures. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible preferred stock and convertible subordinated debentures were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive; that is, they would have increased net income per share or reduced net loss per share available to common stockholders. In-the-money stock options were included for the three months ended September 30, 2004, but were excluded for the nine-month period then ended.
