Quarterly Revenue Increases 25% Year over Year to $37.3 Million

Quarterly Net Income Increases 73% Year over Year to $8.3 Million

MAPLE PLAIN, Minn.—April 25, 2013— Proto Labs, Inc. (NYSE: PRLB), a leading online and technology-enabled quick-turn manufacturer, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Highlights include:

 

   

Revenue for the first quarter of 2013 increased to a record $37.3 million, 25 percent above revenue of $30.0 million in the first quarter of 2012.

 

   

During the quarter, revenue from 710 new customer companies totaled $3.1 million and revenue from 3,528 existing customer companies totaled $34.2 million.

 

   

Net income for the first quarter of 2013 increased to a record $8.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income, excluding the after tax expense of stock compensation, was $8.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted share. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” below.

“We are pleased to report that our United States, European and Japanese operations each achieved record quarterly revenues for the first quarter of 2013, a consistent theme for our teams. Our marketing and sales strategies combined with efficient operations continue to make us a very fast growing and highly profitable company,” said Proto Labs’ President and CEO Brad Cleveland.

Additional highlights include:

 

   

Gross margin was 62.4 percent of revenue in the first quarter of 2013 compared with 59.1 percent during the same quarter in 2012.

 

   

During the first quarter of 2013, spending on research and development, including the Protoworks initiatives, totaled $2.6 million, or 7.0 percent of revenue. This compares to $1.7 million, or 5.5 percent of revenue during the first quarter of 2012.

 

   

Operating margin was 30.5 percent of revenue during the first quarter of 2013 compared to 25.5 percent in the first quarter of 2012.

 

   

Cash generated from operations totaled $11.1 million during the first quarter of 2013. Expenditures on capital equipment were $2.5 million during the quarter.

“As we have discussed in the past, one of our ongoing challenges is building awareness among the millions of global product developers. Our first quarter results demonstrate the success of our worldwide marketing and sales teams, and we believe these efforts will continue to drive revenue as we move ahead,” concluded Mr. Cleveland.


Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The company has included non-GAAP net income, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the company’s financial results. The company has provided below a reconciliation of non-GAAP net income, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, to net income, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP net income, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, is used by the company’s management and board of directors to understand and evaluate operating performance and trends and provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the company’s business. Accordingly, the company believes that non-GAAP net income, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
