FRIEDBERG, Germany — (BUSINESS WIRE) — January 20, 2015 — voxeljet AG (NYSE: VJET) (the “Company”, or “voxeljet”), a leading provider of high-speed, large-format 3D printers and on-demand parts services to industrial and commercial customers, today issued financial guidance for the year ending December 31, 2015.
Financial Guidance for the Year Ending December 31, 2015
With respect to the year ending December 31, 2015, we expect revenue to be in a range of between kEUR 23,000 and kEUR 24,000. This compares to revenue guidance for the year ended December 31, 2014 of between kEUR 15,000 and kEUR 16,000, provided on November 13, 2014, which the Company is affirming. The revenue guidance for 2015 is exclusive of any contributions from potential acquisitions during the year.
The primary drivers of the Company’s anticipated revenue growth for the year ending December 31, 2015 are expected to be: (1) increased global Systems sales; (2) continued Services revenue growth at its facility in Friedberg, Germany; (3) contribution from Voxeljet of America Inc., the Company’s Services facility in Canton, Michigan, which began operating in January 2015; and (4) a full year’s contribution from Voxeljet UK, the Company’s Services facility outside London, England. Based on these factors, the Company expects Services revenue growth to outpace Systems revenue growth in 2015.
The company will release its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014 after the closing of the financial markets on Thursday, March 26th.
Voxeljet of America Inc. Update
The Company began printing and delivering parts to customers from its Canton, Michigan facility in January 2015. The Company expects to install additional sand and plastic printers during the first half of the year. The Company anticipates its Canton, Michigan facility having similar printing capacity to its Friedberg, Germany service center by the end of 2016.
Rudi Franz, Chief Financial Officer of voxeljet, commented, “We enter 2015 with momentum in both of our business segments, which is reflected in our revenue guidance for the year. Our long-term targeted revenue growth rate is in the range of 50%, with gross margins in the range of 45 to 50%. Our long-term EBITDA and EBIT margins targets remain between 25% and 30% and 10% to 15%, respectively. We believe that our continued robust investment in research and development will be the biggest factor in helping us to achieve these operating margins, and our plan is to continue to invest accordingly.”
