Going concern
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
voxeljet has recognized continuous net losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, full year 2020, 2019 and 2018 amounting to kEUR 11,633, kEUR, 15,481, kEUR 13,978 and kEUR 8,747, respectively. Additionally, voxeljet had negative cash flows from operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, full year 2020, 2019 and 2018 of kEUR 5,880, kEUR 6,598, kEUR 6,592, kEUR 7,331, respectively, mainly due to continuous net losses.
Since the global outbreak of COVID-19, the Company has experienced lower demand in both the Systems and the Services segment compared to before the COVID-19 situation. voxeljet’s clients have postponed larger investments and therefore, the demand for 3D printers decreased. In addition, the COVID-19 situation could cause further delays in installation of 3D printers at customers’ facilities, which could lead to postponed revenue recognition for those transactions. Since the third quarter of 2020, the Company experienced a gradual recovery of demand and this positive trend has continued into the third quarter of 2021. The ability to offer service visits worldwide was very limited during the peak of the pandemic. This situation also eased over the last quarters and voxeljet is currently able to offer installations and service visits in most regions of the world, not without mentioning that there are still some constraints and obstacles. In spite of the recovery as well as the positive trends, the continuing prevalence of the COVID-19 pandemic in the certain countries as well as globally still increases the risk and likelihood for further lockdowns, travel restrictions and drops in demand. Further actions taken by government institutions, such as lockdowns, could result in a decrease in market demand, which could potentially result in lower cash inflows. Such risks have been evaluated by management and consequently have been considered in the Company’s liquidity forecast, which assumes voxeljet’s business plan is executed appropriately and sales track as expected. Management updates the liquidity forecast on an ongoing basis.
