MINNEAPOLIS & REHOVOT, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS), the 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions company, announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2015.

Q4-2015 Financial Results Summary:

Fiscal 2015 Financial Results Summary:

“Our fourth quarter results reflect the impact of a market environment that is consistent with conditions we have observed throughout the year,” said David Reis, chief executive officer of Stratasys. “Despite this challenging environment, we remain focused on our strategic initiatives. We are also making progress in optimizing our company’s cost structure and improving working capital management, and were satisfied to observe a favorable trend in operating expenses and positive cash flow from operations during the quarter.”

Recent Business Highlights:

“We have entered a transformative new phase in our company’s development,” continued Reis. “Our goal is to maintain our leadership position in prototyping, while developing a solutions-based business model that targets key vertical markets and emerging applications for end-use parts. We believe our comprehensive new strategy will help grow our markets and is essential for maintaining our leadership position.”

Financial Guidance:

Stratasys today provided the following information regarding the company’s projected revenue and net income for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016:

Stratasys provided the following additional information regarding the company’s performance and strategic plans for 2016:

The company believes that it can achieve a significant improvement in its operating structure in 2016 that will translate into improved operating profit compared to the prior year. Given the expected ongoing negative impact on net income of the planned accounting treatment for valuation of deferred tax assets, the company believes operating profit growth will be the best measure of performance in 2016.

“Given the current environment, we recognize the importance of optimizing our cost structure and improving our financial performance, and have made those goals a priority for 2016. In addition, we are committed to developing the many growth opportunities we have identified, including MakerBot, as well as investing aggressively in initiatives to support long-term growth, such as software, corporate IT infrastructure, and vertical market development. We remain excited about our company’s future,” Reis concluded.

Non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $59.0 million of projected amortization of intangible assets; $25.0 to $27.0 million of share-based compensation expense; $7.0 million in merger and acquisition related expense; $4.0 to $5.0 million in reorganization and other related costs; and includes $5.0 million in tax expenses related to non-GAAP adjustments.

Appropriate reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are provided in a table at the end of this press release. The table provides itemized detail of the non-GAAP financial measures.
