Protolabs Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Record Quarterly Revenue of $115.9 million, an increase of 6% over Q2 2018

MAPLE PLAIN, Minn. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 25, 2019 — Proto Labs, Inc. (NYSE: PRLB), a leading online and technology-enabled, quick-turn, on-demand manufacturer, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Second Quarter 2019 Highlights include:

“Protolabs continues to be a leader in digital manufacturing and achieved record revenue of $115.9 million in the second quarter,” said Vicki Holt, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to focus on serving our customers by expanding our differentiated offering as we launched a metal 3D printing production offer and custom color matching for injection molding.”

Additional Second Quarter 2019 highlights include:

“Protolabs grew 5.7% in the quarter despite currency headwinds, softness in automotive and industrial markets, and the challenge of transforming our newly acquired RAPID business to Protolabs’ business model,” said John Way, Chief Financial Officer. “We continue to focus on delighting our customers, driving sequential improvement in our business, and generating strong cash flows to allow us to continue to invest in future growth.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company has included non-GAAP revenue growth that excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (collectively, “non-GAAP revenue growth”). Management believes these metrics are useful in evaluating the underlying business trends and ongoing operating performance of the company.

The company has included earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and unrealized (gain) loss on foreign currency (collectively, “Adjusted EBITDA”), in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the company’s financial results.

The company has included non-GAAP operating margin, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and amortization expense (collectively, “non-GAAP operating margin”), in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the company’s financial results.

The company has included non-GAAP net income, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, unrealized (gain) loss on foreign currency, and disposal of businesses (collectively, “non-GAAP net income”), in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the company’s financial results.

The company has provided below reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA, the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are used by the company’s management and board of directors to understand and evaluate operating performance and trends and provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of the company’s business. Accordingly, the company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

2 For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, income tax effects were calculated using the effective tax rate for the relevant jurisdictions. Our non-GAAP tax rates differ from our GAAP tax rates due primarily to the mix of activity incurred in domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions and removing effective tax rate benefits from stock-based compensation activity in the quarter.
