Shapeways Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results

- Expanded gross margins sequentially from the second quarter -
- Secured several multi-year contracts with enterprise customers in key target industries -

NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shapeways Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHPW) (“Shapeways” or the “Company”), a leader in the large and fast-growing digital manufacturing industry, announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“As we navigate the dynamic landscape of the digital manufacturing industry, Shapeways continues to expand its enterprise and software businesses, while our eCommerce operations remain stable, providing a solid foundation for our growth initiatives,” said Greg Kress, Shapeways’ Chief Executive Officer. “In the third quarter we expanded our gross margin sequentially, as we saw a greater contribution from higher margin software sales. Furthermore, we have initiated a number of cost reduction measures to better align with the current environment. We remain encouraged by our growing traction of SaaS contract commitments on our refreshed MFG platform, increased customer acquisition, retention, lifetime value and new initiatives such as MFG Materials which was launched in the second quarter. Through MFG Materials, we believe we are providing a very compelling return to our customers by helping them save on raw material costs.

“In addition, our increased customer focus on middle market and enterprise opportunities has translated into several exciting new multi-year customer contracts in our target industries. While we are encouraged with our progress, and have a growing pipeline of orders, the length of the sales cycle to these customers is typically longer. As a result, our ability to recognize about $0.5 million in revenue from three enterprise contracts shifted from the third quarter to the fourth quarter.

“We remain dedicated to meeting evolving customer needs and the ongoing shift towards digital manufacturing solutions, and to demonstrating continued leadership in the industry.”

Business Updates

The Company made progress on each of its key initiatives:

Software tools and services continues to scale – Shapeways’ software offering is one of its key growth drivers, and is continuing to make progress. Notable highlights during and subsequent to quarter-end include:

Enterprise manufacturing growth – Shapeways continues to increase its customer focus towards middle market and enterprise opportunities, and anticipates seeing accelerating benefits from these investments in the coming quarters.

Cost Alignment Initiatives and Strategic Alternatives – While the Company remains encouraged by its momentum, in light of the elongated sales cycle and near term macroeconomic uncertainty, Shapeways management initiated a number of cost reduction measures in the quarter. These included a reduction in force completed in October 2023, a reduction of new hires, and a reduction in non-critical capital and discretionary operating expenditures. In addition, the Company has been working with advisors in considering the strategic alternatives available to the Company. Potential strategic alternatives may include, without limitation, a merger, a business combination, a sale of a material portion of the Company’s assets, a capital raise or other strategic transaction. The Company has not made a decision to pursue or not pursue any particular strategic alternative, and there can be no assurance that this process will result in any transaction.

Certain statements included in this press release are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "should," "would," "plan," "predict," "potential," "seem," "seek," "future," "outlook," and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this press release, regarding the Company's strategy, future operations, outlook, prospects, expectations regarding revenue, customer uptake of new offerings, ability and anticipated timeline to achieve profitability, objectives of management and ability to implement additional cost-reduction measures or consummate capital raises or strategic alternatives are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, financial, geopolitical, legal, and market conditions, including supply chain disruptions and inflationary or recessionary pressures; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; difficulties integrating acquired companies; ability to retain customers of acquired companies or otherwise expand its customer base; the risk that Shapeways has a history of losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future; the risk that the Company faces significant competition and expects to face increasing competition in many aspects; the risk that the digital manufacturing industry is a relatively new and emerging market and it is uncertain whether it will gain widespread acceptance; the risk that the Company's new and existing solutions and software do not achieve sufficient market acceptance; the loss of key personnel; the inability to timely and effectively scale the Company's platform; and those factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in Shapeways’ most recent Form 10-K, most recent Form 10-Q, and other documents Shapeways has filed, or will file, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company does not presently know, or that the Company currently believes are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company's expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's assessments of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to Shapeways’ results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), Shapeways believes that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, is useful in evaluating its operational performance. Shapeways uses this non-U.S. GAAP financial information to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Shapeways believes that this non-U.S. GAAP financial information, when reviewed collectively with its U.S. GAAP results, may be helpful to investors in assessing its operating performance.

Shapeways defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding interest expense, net of interest income, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, change in fair value of earnout liabilities, acquisition costs, restructuring costs, impairment costs, write-offs and other (which includes other income and non-operating gains and losses).

Shapeways believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends because it eliminates the effect of financing and capital expenditures and provides investors with a means to compare its financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to investors. However, you should be aware that when evaluating Adjusted EBITDA Shapeways may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, Shapeways’ presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Shapeways compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its U.S. GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Shapeways’ business.
