2022 Guidance:

Mr. Leys concluded, “Our thoughts today are focused on the safety and security of our Ukrainian collaborators, and we are taking a variety of actions to assist them. At the same time, we believe that a war between countries where Materialise has no significant sales will not impact the fundamentals of our global business model.

“Particularly after our record performance in 2021, we believe our more mature lines of business, in particular in our Materialise Software and Materialise Medical segments, have the potential to continue to grow solidly with a healthy margin, and we plan to support these businesses accordingly. Simultaneously, we plan to increase our spending significantly, especially in R&D and in S&M, to accelerate the development of our new growth businesses, in particular our software cloud platform and our medical and wearable verticals.

“We expect our annual revenue for 2022 (including the results of Link3D) to grow by at least 10% compared to 2021. As we will be allocating significant portions of the expanding EBITDA margins of some of our more mature business lines to investments in our newer growth businesses (in particular the Link3D product portfolio), we expect our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to decrease by approximately 10%.

“However, the recent onset of hostilities in Ukraine is adding complexity to our outlook for 2022, as we currently cannot assess how the global economy will react to the sanctions that are being imposed on Russia. We hope to have more visibility on these events and their potential short-term impact on our business when we release our first-quarter results.”
