Going concern
The 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 three months ended March 31, 2022, full year 2021, 2020 and 2019 amounting to kEUR 753, kEUR 10,586, kEUR 15,481 and kEUR 13,978, respectively. Additionally, voxeljet had negative cash flows from operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022, full year 2021, 2020 and 2019 of kEUR 1,724, kEUR 6,537, kEUR 6,598, kEUR 6,592, respectively, mainly due to continuous net losses.
The impacts from the global outbreak of COVID-19, like lower demand in both, the Systems and the Services segment due to postponements of larger investments and lower business activities from voxeljet’s clients, or travel restrictions which prohibited or hindered visits to the Company’s customers, lessened throughout fiscal year 2021 and into the first quarter of 2022. The worldwide market demand recovered to the same level compared to before the outbreak of the pandemic and the Company is able to offer installations and service visits in most regions of the world. In spite of the recovery as well as the positive trends, the continuing prevalence of the COVID-19 pandemic in certain countries as well as globally continues to pose 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.
During 2021, in January, February and July, the Company successfully completed three registered direct offerings and sales of a total of 2,190,711 ADSs, which provided voxeljet with total gross proceeds of approximately USD 32.0 million (€ 26.6 million) before deducting fees and expenses.
Those capital increases improved the Company’s liquidity as well as equity ratio significantly. In spite of this success, voxeljet has significant financial obligations related to the repayment of tranche A including the performance participation interest from the loan received from the EIB. Tranche A will become due in December 2022 amounting to € 14.6 million reduced or increased by fair value changes of the performance participation interest. Additionally, the Company has to ensure, compliance with all covenants in the Finance Contract, including a Minimum Cash/Cash Equivalents requirement (the “Minimum Cash Covenant”).
