Revenue guidance of $645 to $680 million.

Stratasys provided the following additional guidelines regarding the company’s projected performance and strategic plans for 2017:

Non-GAAP operating margins of 3% to 5%.
Capital expenditures are projected at $40 to $50 million.

Given the expected ongoing negative impact of not recording a tax benefit on U.S. tax losses on the Company non-GAAP net income, the Company believes that the rate of growth in its non-GAAP operating income will be the best measure of performance.

Non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $34 million of projected amortization of intangible assets; $18 to $20 million of share-based compensation expense; $2 to $3 million in merger and acquisition related expense; and $8 to $10 million in reorganization and other related costs; and includes $3 to $4 million in tax expenses related to non-GAAP adjustments.
