voxeljet AG (NASDAQ: VJET) (the “Company”, or “voxeljet”), a provider of high-speed, large-format 3D printers and on-demand parts services to industrial and commercial customers, today announced consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Highlights - First Quarter 2023

• Total revenues for the first quarter increased 29.6% to kEUR 6,015 from kEUR 4,640
• Gross profit margin decreased from 34.3% to 31.9%, while gross profit increased from kEUR 1,591 to kEUR 1,917
• Systems revenues increased 122.8% to kEUR 3,159 from kEUR 1,418
• Services revenues decreased 11.4% to kEUR 2,856 from kEUR 3,222
• Reaffirm full year 2023 guidance

Dr. Ingo Ederer, Chief Executive Officer of voxeljet, commented: “In our on-demand printing Services segment, demand continues to be very robust - both in Europe and the US. This high demand is driven by large production orders, which is very exciting. Based on those high revenues from on-demand printing Services, we expect higher revenues for Systems as customers move from buying parts to running their own 3D printers and producing more cost-effectively.”

First Quarter 2023 Results

Revenues for the first quarter of 2023 increased by 29.6% to kEUR 6,015 compared to kEUR 4,640 in the first quarter of 2022.

Revenues from our Systems segment, which focuses on the development, production and sale of 3D printers, increased 122.8% to kEUR 3,159 in the first quarter of 2023 from kEUR 1,418 in last year’s first quarter. The Company delivered one new 3D printer in the first quarter of 2023, compared to one new printer delivered in last year’s first quarter. Systems revenues also include all Systems-related revenues from consumables, spare parts and maintenance. The increase of revenues from our Systems segment was mainly due to higher revenues from the sale of 3D printers as we sold a larger scale platform in the first quarter of 2023, compared to a smaller scale platform in the comparative period. In addition, Systems-related revenues increased, reflecting the higher installed base of our 3D printers in the market. Systems revenues represented 52.5% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 30.6% in last year’s first quarter.

Revenues from our Services segment, which focuses on the printing of on-demand parts for our customers, decreased 11.4% to kEUR 2,856 in the first quarter of 2023 from kEUR 3,222 in the comparative period of 2022. This was mainly due to lower revenue contributions from our German operation as well as from our subsidiary voxeljet China Co. Ltd (“voxeljet China”). This was partially offset by slightly higher revenue contributions from our subsidiary voxeljet America Inc. (“voxeljet America”).

Cost of sales were kEUR 4,098 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to kEUR 3,049 for the first quarter of 2022.

Gross profit and gross profit margin were kEUR 1,917 and 31.9%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to kEUR 1,591 and 34.3%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022.

Gross profit for our Systems segment increased to kEUR 1,059 in the first quarter of 2023 from kEUR 246 in the first quarter of 2022. This improvement was mainly related to the increase in revenues. Also gross profit margin for this segment increased to 33.5% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 17.3% in the first quarter of 2022 mainly due to a more favorable product mix, especially regarding the 3D printer sale. The sale of larger scale platforms usually provides higher gross profit (margins) compared to smaller platforms.

Gross profit for our Services segment significantly decreased to kEUR 858 in the first quarter of 2023 compared to kEUR 1,345 in the first quarter of 2022. The gross profit margin for this segment also significantly decreased to 30.0% in the first quarter of 2023 from 41.7% in the first quarter of 2022. Both, the decrease of gross profit as well as gross profit margin were mainly related to the overall decrease in revenues which resulted in a lower utilization of our German and Chinese service centers which was less cost efficient.

Selling expenses increased to kEUR 1,919 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to kEUR 1,637 in the first quarter of 2022, mainly related to higher distribution expenses, in line with the increase in revenues. Expenses such as shipping and packaging vary from quarter to quarter depending on quantity and types of products being sold, as well as the destinations where those goods are being delivered.

Administrative expenses were kEUR 1,507 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to kEUR 1,677 in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease is mainly related to lower legal advisor and regulatory fees related to our stock market listing as well as our communication with financial institutions.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses increased to kEUR 1,599 in the first quarter of 2023 from kEUR 1,441 in the first quarter of 2022. The increase of kEUR 158 was mainly due to higher personnel expenses, higher usage of external services as well as higher material expenses.

Other operating expenses in the first quarter of 2023 were kEUR 459 compared to kEUR 158 in the prior year period. This was mainly related to higher losses from foreign currency transactions, amounting to kEUR 456 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to kEUR 59 in the last year’s first quarter.

Other operating income was kEUR 736 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to kEUR 2,204 for the first quarter of 2022. The reduction was mainly due to the first quarter 2022 one-off impact from the reclassification of the foreign currency translation reserve, which was previously recognized in other comprehensive income on consolidation of voxeljet UK accounts. This amount was reclassified to profit and loss account on deconsolidation amounting to kEUR 1,475, related to the finalization of the wind-up of voxeljet UK Ltd, our UK subsidiary, on February 17, 2022. In addition, gains from foreign currency transactions decreased from kEUR 433 for the first quarter of 2022 compared to kEUR 159 for the first quarter of 2023. This was partially offset by higher other operating income from reimbursement of research and development costs amounting to kEUR 312 for the first quarter of 2023, compared to kEUR 81 for the comparative period. Moreover, other operating income included kEUR 201 from the receipt of government grants awarded for research and development project funding for the first quarter of 2023 compared to kEUR 45 for the first quarter of 2022.

The changes in foreign currency losses and gains were primarily driven by the valuation of the intercompany loans granted by the parent company to our US subsidiary.

Operating loss was kEUR 2,831 in the first quarter of 2023 compared to an operating loss of kEUR 1,118 in the comparative period in 2022. This was primarily related to the net impact of the quarter over quarter changes in other operating expenses and other operating income, which was kEUR 1,769 negative. In addition, selling expenses as well as research and development expenses increased. This was partially offset by an increase in gross profit and slightly lower administrative expenses.

Financial result was negative kEUR 420 in the first quarter of 2023, compared to a financial result of positive kEUR 351 in the comparative period in 2022. This was mainly due to lower income from revaluation of derivative financial instruments related to the performance participation interest related to the loan received from the European Investment Bank (the ‘EIB’) amounting to kEUR 0 for the first quarter of 2023, compared to kEUR 1,316 for the comparative period in 2022. Those derivative financial instruments were revalued on each balance sheet date, with changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded within the financial result of the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. An increase in our share price resulted in a finance expense, while a decrease led to a finance income, holding other parameters constant. In October 2022, the loan granted by EIB including all interest was early settled and consequently the loan as well as the related derivative financial instruments were derecognized.

In addition, interest expense on lease liabilities amounted to kEUR 292 for the first quarter of 2023, compared to kEUR 36 for the comparative period in 2022. This increase was related to the sale and leaseback transaction regarding voxeljet AG’s properties located in Friedberg, Bavaria, Germany. The transaction closed on October 31, 2022 and the lease term commenced on November 1, 2022. As a result of completion of this transaction, the Company derecognized a carrying amount of kEUR 14,062 relating to land and buildings and recognized a right of use asset and lease liability at an amount of kEUR 9,161 and kEUR 17,263, respectively.

This increase was partially offset by lower interest expense from long term debt, which amounted to kEUR 122 for the first quarter of 2023, compared to kEUR 567 for the first quarter of 2022. This significant decrease was related to the early repayment of the EIB loan in October 2022 as well as further loans which were granted by Sparkasse Schwaben-Bodensee, Germany (formerly Kreissparkasse Augsburg) in August and October 2022. In addition, finance expense related to the change in fair value of bond funds decreased from kEUR 443 for the first quarter of 2022 to kEUR 0 for the first quarter of 2023.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was kEUR 3,251 or EUR 0.35 per share, as compared to net loss of kEUR 753 or EUR 0.10 per share, in the first quarter of 2022.

Business Outlook

Our revenue guidance for the second quarter of 2023 is expected to be in the range of kEUR 4,250 to kEUR 5,750.

We reaffirm our guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2023:

- Full year revenue is expected to be in the range of kEUR 27,500 to kEUR 32,500

- Gross margin for the full year is expected to be above 31.5%

- Operating expenses for the full year are expected as follows: selling and administrative expenses are expected to be in the range of kEUR 14,000 to kEUR 16,000 and R&D expenses are projected to be between approximately kEUR 7,500 and kEUR 8,500. Depreciation and amortization expense is expected to be between kEUR 3,000 and kEUR 3,250.

- Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023 is expected to be slightly negative to neutral. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), as calculated under IFRS accounting principles before interest (income) expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and excluding other operating (income) expense resulting from foreign exchange gains or losses on the intercompany loans granted to the subsidiaries.

- Capital expenditures for the full year are projected to be in the range of kEUR 3,750 to kEUR 4,250, which primarily includes ongoing investments in our subsidiaries.

Our total backlog of 3D printer orders at March 31, 2023 was kEUR 9,249, which represents twelve 3D printers. This compares to a backlog of kEUR 9,975 representing eleven 3D printers, at December 31, 2022. As production and delivery of our printers is generally characterized by lead times ranging between three to nine months, the conversion rate of order backlog into revenue is dependent on the equipping process for the respective 3D printer as well as the timing of customers’ requested deliveries.

At March 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of kEUR 8,285, additionally we held restricted cash of kEUR 2,986 and held kEUR 3,680 of term deposits, which are included in current and non-current other financial assets on our consolidated statements of financial position.

Non-IFRS Measure

Management regularly uses both IFRS and non-IFRS results and expectations internally to assess its overall performance of the business, making operating decisions, and forecasting and planning for future periods. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial measure to the Company’s investors as it helps investors better understand and evaluate the projections our management board provides. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled financial measures reported by other peer companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute to financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure of its financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), as calculated under IFRS accounting principles, interest (income) expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and excluding other (income) expense resulting from foreign exchange gains or losses on the intercompany loans granted to the subsidiaries. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA to be an important financial measure because it excludes the effects of fluctuating foreign exchange gains or losses on the intercompany loans granted to its subsidiaries. We are unable to reasonably estimate the potential full-year financial impact of foreign currency translation because of volatility in foreign exchange rates. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation to our forward-looking guidance for non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA without unreasonable effort as certain information necessary to calculate such measure on an IFRS basis is unavailable, dependent on future events outside of our control and cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts by the Company.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Preparation of financial statements

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of voxeljet AG and its wholly-owned subsidiaries voxeljet America Inc. (‘voxeljet America’) and voxeljet India Pvt. Ltd. (‘voxeljet India’), as well as voxeljet China Co. Ltd. (‘voxeljet China’), where voxeljet AG holds 88.52%, which are collectively referred to herein as the ‘Group’ or the ‘Company’, which is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market (‘NASDAQ’). The liquidation of voxeljet UK Ltd. (‘voxeljet UK’), our UK subsidiary, was finalized on February 17, 2022, upon submission of final account by liquidators to the Companies House, the affairs of voxeljet UK were fully wound up. Therefore, voxeljet UK accounts were deconsolidated in the first quarter of 2022.

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in compliance with all applicable measurement and presentation rules contained in International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as set forth by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’) and Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (‘IFRIC’). The designation IFRS also includes all valid International Accounting Standards (‘IAS’); and the designation IFRIC also includes all valid interpretations of the Standing Interpretations Committee (‘SIC’). Specifically, these financial statements were prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements and the measurement principles for interim financial reporting purposes specified by IAS 34. Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

The IASB issued a number of new IFRS standards which are required to be adopted in annual periods beginning after December 31, 2022.

The adoption of standards effective 01/2023 did not have a material impact on the interim financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company has not yet conclusively determined what impact the new standards, amendments or interpretations effective 01/2024 will have on its financial statements, but does not expect they will have a significant impact. The Company has not early adopted any of these new and amended standards and interpretations and intends to adopt them, if applicable, when they become effective.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were authorized for issue by the Management Board on May 17, 2023.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

voxeljet has recognized continuous net losses during the three months ended March 31, 2023, full year 2022, 2021 and 2020 amounting to kEUR 3,251, kEUR 11,409, kEUR 10,586 and kEUR 15,481, respectively. Additionally, voxeljet had negative cash flows from operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2023, full year 2022, 2021 and 2020 of kEUR 3,102, kEUR 9,184, kEUR 6,537 and kEUR 6,598, respectively, mainly due to continuous net losses.

During 2021, in January, February and July, the Company completed three registered direct offerings and sales of a total of 2,190,711 ADSs, which provided voxeljet with total gross proceeds of approximately USD 32.0 million (€ 26.6 million) before deducting fees and expenses. Further, on October 13, 2022, the Company announced that it has completed another registered direct offering and sale of 1,279,070 ordinary shares in the form of ADSs at a purchase price of USD 3.44 (€ 3.60) per share. The gross proceeds of the offering amounted to approximately USD 4.4 million (€ 4.6 million).

On October 31, 2022 the Company closed a sale and leaseback transaction (the “Sale-Leaseback”) regarding voxeljet AG’s properties located in Friedberg, Free State of Bavaria, Germany with IntReal International Real Estate Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH, which was initiated on August 11, 2022. Under this agreement, voxeljet was entitled to receive proceeds from the sale amounting to € 26.5 million and entered into a long-term lease contract. Simultaneously, on August 11, 2022, voxeljet initiated the full settlement of the Finance Contract entered into with the European Investment Bank (the “EIB”), dated November 9, 2017 (the “Finance Contract”), including the repayment of tranche A and B1 thereunder, including all interest for a fixed amount of € 22.0 million. In addition, the Company initiated the early settlement of certain loans for which the sold properties were collateralized, which were granted by Sparkasse Schwaben-Bodensee, Germany (formerly Kreissparkasse Augsburg) (“Sparkasse”) with a settlement of € 0.8 million in August 2022 and € 3.1 million in October 2022. Consequently, the Company has written down the bifurcated embedded derivative financial instruments relating to the performance participation interest for tranche A and tranche B. The write-down resulted from the early repayment of the Finance Contract with EIB in October 2022. The write-down of the bifurcated embedded derivative financial asset relating to the performance participation interest for tranche A resulted in finance expense amounting to kEUR 2,827, and the bifurcated embedded derivative financial liability for the performance participation interest for tranche B1 resulted in finance income of kEUR 516.

The closing process of the transaction, which began through the initiation of the Sale-Leaseback at the notary on August 11, 2022, was successfully finalized on October 31, 2022. The closing included the receipt of the proceeds from IntReal International Real Estate Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH, the settlements with EIB and Sparkasse and the subsequent initiation of the release process for land charges and commencement of the long-term lease contract on November 1, 2022. These steps further improved voxeljet’s liquidity and financial flexibility, and released the Company from all covenants in the Finance Contract, including a Minimum Cash/Cash Equivalents requirement (the “Minimum Cash Covenant”).

In December 2022, the Company privately placed 828,943 ADSs, each representing one ordinary share, at a purchase price of USD 2.16 (€ 2.04), with the institutional investor Anzu Ventures II LLC (“Anzu”). The capital increase was registered on December 22, 2022 and the private placement was completed when voxeljet received the remaining portion of the related funds amounting to USD 0.9 million (€ 0.9 million) in January 2023. The first portion of USD 0.9 million (€ 0.8 million) was received in December 2022. This capital increase provided the Company with gross proceeds of USD 1.8 million (€ 1.7 million) before deducting fees and expenses.

In January 2023, the Company issued a promissory note to Anzu (the “Anzu Note”), in a principal amount of USD 3.2 million (€ 3.0 million). The Anzu Note matures on January 3, 2028, and includes interest payable monthly at a rate of 3% per annum. In addition, the Anzu Note includes a voluntary prepayment right for voxeljet, and, in the case of fundamental changes including a change of control in voxeljet, a right by voxeljet to repay the Anzu Note and a right by Anzu to require that voxeljet repurchases the Anzu Note. The aforementioned rights are considered to be embedded derivatives that have to be bifurcated. A one-time interest payment equal to the above principal amount of USD 3.2 million (€ 3.0 million) is required to be paid upon maturity or at time of prepayment. The terms of the Anzu Note include certain covenants and events of default.

The capital increases described above improved voxeljet’s liquidity as well as equity ratio significantly. Also the financing received through the Anzu Note had a positive impact on the Company’s cash reserves. In addition, the closing of the Sale-Leaseback in connection with the early settlement of certain loans, released voxeljet from significant financial obligations mainly related to the repayment of tranche A thereunder, including the performance participation interest from the loan received from the EIB. Tranche A would have become due in December 2022 amounting to approximately € 14.6 million reduced or increased by the fair value of the performance participation interest. The early settlement further released the Company from all the covenants in the Finance Contract with the EIB, including the Minimum Cash Covenant.

In spite of this success, according to the Group’s current liquidity forecasts, voxeljet will require further funding in the second half of 2023 to maintain its operations. Therefore, management is taking steps to raise additional funds, including meetings with potential new and existing investors and banks, which may include debt and/or equity financing, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise further funds on terms favorable to the Company, if at all.

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine raises further risks and uncertainties. The heightened use of trade restrictions and sanctions, including tariffs or prohibitions on technology transfers to achieve diplomatic ends could impact voxeljet’s ability to conduct its business as planned. A spill-over of the conflict to neighboring countries, the European Union or NATO members could result in further adverse impacts on the Company’s business, including a drop in market demand, price increases for raw materials and energy or delays in the global supply chain.

These events and conditions described above raise material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon voxeljet’s ability to continue as a going concern. Despite the ongoing losses, reduced cash flow as well as with the existing financial obligations, management assumes that voxeljet will continue as a going concern. However, the going concern is dependent upon management and the Company being successful in:

Those assumptions are included in the Company’s current liquidity forecasts and management believes that the Company has the ability to meet its financial obligations for at least the next 12 months from the authorization for issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 by the Management Board on May 17, 2023 and therefore continues as a going concern.

Correction of error

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company corrected the other comprehensive income (loss) that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss, which was misstated in the first quarter of 2022, relating to reclassification of the foreign currency translation reserve to profit and loss accounts on deconsolidation of voxeljet UK amounting to kEUR 1,475, related to the finalization of the wind-up on February 17, 2022.

As a result, the amount of other comprehensive loss that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss for the first quarter of 2022 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was increased. Accordingly, total comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 amounts to kEUR 2,316, (thereof kEUR 2,251 attributable to the owners of the Company and kEUR 65 attributable to non-controlling interest) and kEUR 4,323 (thereof kEUR 4,282 attributable to the owners of the Company and kEUR 41 attributable to non-controlling interest), respectively.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements are set out in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2022, which can be found in its Annual Report on Form 20-F that was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2023. These policies have been applied to all financial periods presented.

3. Share based payment arrangements

Option Plan 2017

On April 7, 2017, voxeljet AG established a share option plan (Option Plan 2017) that entitles key management personnel and senior employees of voxeljet AG and its subsidiaries to purchase shares of the parent company.

Total options available under the share option plan are 372,000. 279,000 options (75%, tranche 1) were granted on April 7, 2017. 93,000 options (25%, tranche 2) were granted on April 12, 2018.

The vesting conditions include a service condition (the options vest after a period of four years of continued service from the respective grant date) and a market condition (the options may only be exercised if the share price exceeds the exercise price over a period of 90 consecutive days by at least 20% in the period between the grant date and the respective exercise time frame) of which both conditions must be met. The options from tranche 1 and tranche 2 have an expiration date of April 7, 2027 and April 12, 2028, respectively.

In order to avoid insider trading, there are defined trading windows during which the options can be exercised. When those trading windows are closed, the exercise of options is not possible.

The fair value of the employee share option plan has been measured for tranches 1 and 2 using a Monte Carlo simulation. The market condition has been incorporated into the fair value at grant date.

The inputs used in the measurement of the fair value at grant date are as follows:

The respective expected volatility has been based on an evaluation of the historical volatility of the Company’s share price as of the grant date. As of March 31, 2023 265,050 options are exercisable and 353,400 options are outstanding. The weighted-average contractual life of the options at March 31, 2023 amounts to 4.3 years (March 31, 2022: 5.3 years).

The expenses recognized in the profit and loss statement related to Option Plan 2017 totaled kEUR 0 in the three months ended March 31, 2023 (three months ended March 31, 2022: kEUR 43).

Option Plan 2022
