Systems revenue increased 83% to kEUR 6,343 in 2013 from kEUR 3,464 in 2012 as the company sold a total of nine 3D printers in 2013 compared to six 3D printers (excluding four test machines in 2012) in the prior year period. Generally, the 3D printers sold in 2013 were larger systems than in prior years, which also contributed to higher revenue as the larger systems are generally sold at higher prices. Systems revenue represented 54.3% of total revenue in 2013 compared to 39.8% in 2012. Systems revenue also includes all revenue from consumables, spare parts and maintenance.
Revenue from our Services segment increased approximately 2%, to kEUR 5,345 in 2013 compared to kEUR 5,247 in 2012, as we continued to experience strong demand for on demand parts, and continued to be constrained by capacity limitations.
Gross profit increased to kEUR 4,643 in 2013 from kEUR 3,754 in 2012. The gross profit margin decreased to 39.7% in 2013 from 43.1% in 2012. Cost of sales was kEUR 7,045 in 2013. Embedded in cost of sales were expenses of kEUR 340 related to our LTCIP.

The increase in gross profit was primarily related to higher sales of our 3D printers in 2013 and improved product mix, while the decrease in gross profit margin resulted from a higher cost of sales because of increased personnel expenses related to the LTCIP and increased headcount required to pursue our business growth strategy. Cost of sales related to the LTCIP was kEUR 188.

R&D expenses increased to kEUR 2,651 in 2013 from kEUR 1,573 in 2012, an increase of kEUR 1,078.
