Proto Labs Reports Record Revenue and Net Income for the Second Quarter 2015

 

Quarterly Revenue Increases 21% Year over Year to $64.0 Million

Record Quarterly Net Income of $11.7 Million

 

MAPLE PLAIN, Minn. – July 23, 2015 – Proto Labs, Inc. (NYSE: PRLB), a leading online and technology-enabled, quick-turn, on-demand manufacturer, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

 

Highlights include:

 

 

Revenue for the second quarter of 2015 increased to a record $64.0 million, 21 percent above revenue of $52.9 million in the second quarter of 2014. On a constant currency basis, revenue was up 25 percent versus the prior year.

 

Revenue from additive services (3D printing) through the Fineline acquisition completed in April 2014 totaled $5.4 million, an increase of 86 percent from the second quarter of 2014.

 

Revenue growth reflected a 28 percent increase in the number of unique product developers and engineers served over the prior year period.

 

Net income for the second quarter of 2015 was a record $11.7 million, or $0.44 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income, excluding the after-tax expense of stock compensation, amortization of intangibles, and non-cash unrealized foreign currency losses, was $13.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” below.

 

“Our second quarter results reflected strong execution in many areas,” said Vicki Holt, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue in North America grew 23 percent, driven primarily by growth in additive manufacturing and Firstcut services. We were especially pleased with the growth in European revenue, up 33.5 percent on a constant currency basis, 12 percent when translated to dollars. Japan also executed well, generating an increase in revenue of 33 percent on a constant currency basis, 12 percent as reported. The growth across all regions reflected the actions we took earlier in the year to strengthen the leadership team and drive more focused marketing and sales efforts.”

 

Additional Highlights include:

 

 

Gross margin was 58.7 percent of revenue for the second quarter of 2015 compared with 61.8 percent during the same quarter last year. The current period reflects a lower gross margin on the additive business, representing approximately 90 basis points. Foreign currency exchange rates had an 80 basis point impact year over year with the remaining difference driven by capacity additions and business mix.

 

GAAP operating margin was 27.1 percent of revenue during the second quarter of 2015 compared to 30.2 percent for the second quarter of 2014.

 

Cash generated from operations during the second quarter totaled $12.4 million. Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $142.0 million at June 30, 2015 compared with $137.2 million at March 31, 2015.

  

 
 

 

 

“We continue to focus on our priorities – to enhance our targeted sales and marketing efforts worldwide, expand our envelope of manufacturing services and continually improve customer service. We are making progress on each of these initiatives. In the second half of the year, we anticipate growing demand for our recently introduced materials and processes, including lathe-turned parts in North America and Europe, the full launch of additive manufacturing in Europe in the third quarter and the introduction of the lathe process in Japan later in 2015. Our expanded sales and marketing focus is beginning to gain traction. While there is much work ahead, we remain committed to our continued execution and believe our success will result in strong, consistent revenue growth and profitability,” concluded Ms. Holt.

 

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The company has included non-GAAP adjusted revenue growth that excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates from total revenues in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the company’s financial results. Management believes this metric is useful in evaluating the underlying business trends and ongoing operating performance of the company.

 

The company has also included non-GAAP net income, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, and non-cash unrealized foreign currency activity (collectively, “non-GAAP net income”), 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 to net income, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP net income 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 provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
