Nano Dimension Reports 2020 Third Quarter Financial Results

 Conference call to be held today at 9:00 a.m. EST

Sunrise, Florida, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- – Nano Dimension Ltd. (Nasdaq: NNDM), a leading Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME)/PE (Printed Electronics) provider, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. 

Nano Dimension reported revenues of $438,000 for the third quarter of 2020. The Company ended the quarter with a cash and deposits balance of $45,720,000 (including short and long-term unrestricted bank deposits), while net loss for the third quarter was $20,716,000 and negative adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $3,373,000.

“These are not disappointing results per se,” said Yael Sandler, Chief Financial Officer of Nano Dimension. “As we have projected starting April 2020, the reduced revenues in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic being prolonged and re-emerging crises, were in fact expected to be lower than we have achieved. Actually, in APAC, the revenues have seemed to already start a modest recovery in the fourth quarter of 2020. We believe that the United States is still in a process of downswing of capital expenditures under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, and European prospective customers are sinking back toward a commercial stand still, under the effects of its second wave. As the market stagnation is prolonged, understandably hesitant and/or careful customers tend to delay investments in breakthrough, new prototyping and fabrication technologies of unique Hi-PEDs™ (High Performance Electronic Devices). While the phenomena are clear and present, they are probably temporary,” concluded Ms. Sandler.

Mr. Yoav Stern, Chief Executive Officer and President of Nano Dimension commented: “The expectation of our market growth has not changed, and we believe that this is a interim delay. We expect the mid-term slow-down effect to act like a “sling shot” once COVID-19 will start to phase-out.¹ The pressure of the trade struggles with the East is already creating an interest for reshoring electronic manufacturing. Nano Dimension technology is ideally positioned as our 3D printing machines for Hi-PEDs™ are an environmentally friendly non-polluting fabrication and overnight prototyping methodology, fitting for setting up fabrication facilities in-house on the western continents.”

Mr. Stern concluded: “As per above, we are not judging, at this point, our success by quarterly revenues. That will come later. Nano Dimension operates along an expected fail-safe investment model, where upside may resemble Biotech investments, but, contrary to those, downside in case of failure at any stage is somewhat hedged and hence protected. We have sold 60 machines already, mostly to leading blue chip defense, academic and commercial organizations worldwide. It is reasonable to assume that in case a decision is made at the right time, a sale of our existing business at improving multiples, as per future stages, is a doable task. On the upside, an exponential growth post COVID-19 may lead us to an unprecedented leadership role. Our future “Stages” as defined at this point (subject to adjustment based on advancement in R&D) are: Stage I: Materials at Commercial-Specs, Stage II: Materials at Industrial-Specs, Stage III: Materials at Mil-Specs, Stage IV: Low Production Volume 3D-System, Stage V: Medium Production Volume 3D-System.” 

¹IDTechEX (2019): The total market for 3D printed electronics will be worth $2.3 billion by 2029 and will be dominated by the professional PCB prototyping market segment. The educational and industrial production market segments will continue to grow steadily.
The market for professional PCB prototyping is currently growing very rapidly, almost entirely due to market leader Nano Dimension, and has already overtaken the consumer and education. This growth will slow but this market segment will become the largest by 2020.
DataM Intelligence (2018): Analysts predict 3D printed electronics will be the next high-growth application for product innovation: 2017 3D printed electronics market size is estimated at $176 million, expected to reach $592 million in 2021 and up to $2.4 billion by 2025.
Transparency Market Research (2018): The global 3D printed electronics market was valued at US$ 137.1 million in 2017 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 44.46% from 2018 to 2026, reaching $ 3.9 billion by the end of the forecast period. 
  
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

• Total revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $438,000, compared to $288,000 in the second quarter of 2020, and $2,243,000 in the third quarter of 2019. The decrease is attributed to continuing delays in identified transactions of DragonFly systems, which the Company primarily attributes to the impact of COVID-19.

• Research and development (R&D) expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $2,556,000, compared to $1,895,000 in the second quarter of 2020, and $2,083,000 in the third quarter of 2019. The increase compared to both the second quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019 is attributed to an increase in payroll and related expenses, as the Company is temporarily shifting resources from sales and marketing to product enhancements, as well as an increase in share-based payment expenses.

• Sales and marketing (S&M) expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $2,475,000, compared to $930,000 in the second quarter of 2020, and $1,217,000 in the third quarter of 2019. The increase compared to both the second quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019 is attributed to an increase in share-based payment expenses.

• Net loss for the third quarter of 2020 was $20,716,000, or $0.45 per share, compared to $8,265,000, or $0.27 per share, in the second quarter of 2020, and $4,308,000, or $1.21 per share, in the third quarter of 2019. The increase compared to both the second quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019 is mainly attributed to share-based payment expenses of approximately $15,852,000 that were recognized in the third quarter of 2020. 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Financial Results

• Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $1,428,000, compared to $5,093,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is attributed to less sales of DragonFly systems, which the Company primarily attributes to the impact of COVID-19.

• R&D expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $6,153,000, compared to $6,557,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in payroll and related expenses and materials expenses, partially offset by an increase in share-based payment expenses.        

• S&M expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $4,224,000, compared to $4,088,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

• G&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $16,748,000, compared to $2,389,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is mainly attributed to an increase in share-based payment expenses. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized share-based payment expenses of approximately $13,617,000 with respect to warrants granted to our CEO and President and to one of our directors.         

• Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $31,055,000, or $1.11 per share, compared to $6,972,000, or $2.08 per share, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Balance Sheet Highlights 

• Cash and cash equivalents, together with short and long-term bank deposits totaled $45,720,000 as of September 30, 2020, compared to $3,894,000 as of December 31, 2019. The increase compared to December 31, 2019, mainly reflects proceeds received from the sale of American Depositary Shares representing the Company’s ordinary shares, less cash used in operations, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. 

• Shareholders’ equity totaled $52,691,000 as of September 30, 2020, compared to $11,602,000 as of December 31, 2019.

Non-IFRS measures

The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net loss:

EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before interest expense (income), income tax, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA, as described above, should be considered in evaluating the Company’s operations. EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expenses (income), net), and the age and depreciation charges and amortization of fixed and intangible assets, respectively (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense, respectively) and EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to the items mentioned above.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before non-cash financial expense (income), income tax, depreciation and amortization, and share based payments. Non-cash financial expenses (income), net include exchange rate differences, finance expense (income) for revaluation of liability in respect of government grants, finance expense (income) for revaluation of liability in respect of warrants and rights to purchase, as well as changes in lease liability. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, as described above, should also be considered in evaluating the Company’s operations. Like EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting non-cash financial expenses (income), net), and the age and depreciation charges and amortization of fixed and intangible assets, respectively (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense, respectively), as well as from share-based payment expenses, and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it’s widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to non-cash items, such as expenses related to share based payments.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.
