LEUVEN, Belgium--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 28, 2022-- Materialise NV (NASDAQ:MTLS), a leading provider of additive manufacturing and medical software and of sophisticated 3D printing services, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Highlights – Second Quarter 2022

  • Total revenue increased 14.5% to 58,070 kEUR compared to 50,713 kEUR for the second quarter of 2021.
  • Total deferred revenue from annual software sales and maintenance fees increased by 3,758 kEUR to 38,903 kEUR compared to December 31, 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was 4,240 kEUR, compared to 6,925 kEUR for the 2021 period.
  • Net profit for the second quarter of 2022 was 896 kEUR, or 0.02 EUR per diluted share, compared to 3,367 kEUR, or 0.06 EUR per diluted share, for the 2021 period.

Executive Chairman Peter Leys commented, “Demand for the products and solutions of each of our three segments remained strong in these uncertain macro-economic times. Materialise’s revenue increased by almost 15% compared to the same period last year and our deferred revenue from annual software sales and maintenance fees increased by more than 10% compared to December 31,2021. Encouraged by our solid top-line results, we are continuing to execute on our plan of investing in our growth businesses. As a result of inflation and, in particular, our increased labor costs, our Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was 4,240 kEUR compared to 6,925 kEUR for the second quarter of 2021.”

2022 Guidance

Mr. Leys concluded, “The consecutive revenue growth posted by each of our segments in the first and second quarters of this year strengthens our confidence that our full year 2022 revenues will be at least 10% higher than in 2021. While inflation and effects of the war for talent, which are higher and more persistent than anticipated in the beginning of this year, weigh on our results, we continue to invest in our growth businesses. As a result, we currently expect that our consolidated EBITDA for the full year 2022 will be in the range of 20 mEUR to 25 mEUR.”

Non-IFRS Measures

Materialise uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental financial measures of its financial performance. EBITDA is calculated as net profit plus income taxes, financial expenses (less financial income), shares of profit or loss in a joint venture and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by adding share-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related expenses of business combinations, impairments and revaluation of fair value due to business combinations to EBITDA. Management believes these non-IFRS measures to be important measures as they exclude the effects of items which primarily reflect the impact of long-term investment and financing decisions, rather than the performance of the company’s day-to-day operations. As compared to net profit, these measures are limited in that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the company’s business, or the charges associated with impairments. Management evaluates such items through other financial measures such as capital expenditures and cash flow provided by operating activities. The company believes that these measurements are useful to measure a company’s ability to grow or as a valuation measurement. The company’s calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net profit or any other performance measure derived in accordance with IFRS. The company’s presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
