“Our consolidated top line results this quarter reflect continued positive traction in high-end system and materials sales for our PolyJet and FDM technology platforms, primarily in North America, offset partially by the impact late in the quarter of the government shutdown in the United States and what we believe is temporary weakness in the Automotive sector in Europe.”

Financial Guidance:
Stratasys today provided the following information regarding the Company’s guidance for projected revenue and net income for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019:
- Revenue guidance of $670 to $700 million.
- As the Company stated on the earnings call today, revenue is expected to grow during the first half of 2019, excluding the impact of 2018 divestitures. The Company clarifies that it expects the 2nd half of 2019 will represent 51%-53.5% of the 2019 revenue. Revenue is subject to the variability that may be caused by the shifting of large orders.
- GAAP net loss of $22 to $12 million, or ($0.40) to ($0.22) per diluted share.
- Non-GAAP net income of $30 to $38 million, or $0.55 to $0.70 per diluted share.
Stratasys also provided the following guidance regarding the Company’s projected performance and strategic plans for 2019:
- Non-GAAP operating margins of 5.5% to 6.5%.
- Capital expenditures are projected at $45 to $60 million.
Given the expected ongoing negative impact of not recording a tax benefit on U.S. tax losses on the Company’s non-GAAP net income, the Company believes that the rate of growth in its non-GAAP operating income is the best measure of its performance.
Non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes $32 million of projected amortization of intangible assets; $20 to $22 million of share-based compensation expense; reorganization related and other expense of $1 to $2 million; and includes ($3) to ($4) million in tax expenses related to non-GAAP adjustments.
“We are entering into 2019 with an impressive roadmap of new technology and products, and continued, steady progress in customer adoption of our additive manufacturing solutions for advanced applications in our target verticals of aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and high-realism rapid prototyping,” continued Jaglom. “We are excited about our recent and upcoming new product introductions and believe that we will see accelerated growth beginning in 2020.”
