Shapeways Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:SHPW) ("Shapeways" or the "Company"), a leader in the large and fast-growing digital manufacturing industry, announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

"We have continued to make targeted investments and are making progress on our strategic priorities in order to drive long-term growth," said Greg Kress, Shapeways' Chief Executive Officer. "So far this year, we've deployed additional additive manufacturing hardware, further expanded our business development team, and completed three strategic acquisitions. Specifically, the acquisitions closely align with our objectives of accelerating our Otto™ software go-to-market plan, adding complementary manufacturing capabilities, and deepening our reach into our key target verticals."

Mr. Kress continued, "We see a tremendous opportunity to aggressively expand our share of wallet and add skilled talent to our team. Our customer pipeline remains robust and is growing, and we expect to continue to pursue selective acquisitions to enable us to accelerate our product roadmap, develop new distribution channels and capture additional market share in a disciplined manner. Additionally, the industry verticals we're targeting are large, healthy, and growing."

Business Updates

The Company continued its deployment of additional Desktop Metal solutions which further expands its global manufacturing footprint across metals, elastomers, polymers, composites, and digital casting applications. The Company anticipates deploying additional Desktop Metal hardware as the year progresses.

The Company continued to build on its Otto™ Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") offering by rolling out the software to its traditional small and midsize manufacturing clients and expanding features to help manage their internal processes. The first phase of Otto provides traditional manufacturers with a simpler, faster, and more flexible path to access 3D printing for industrial-grade production.

The Company expanded its go-to-market strategy by targeting middle market and enterprise customers both geographically and by vertical using its expanded sales team.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company completed three strategic acquisitions which advance its objectives of accelerating its Otto™ software go-to-market plan, adding complementary manufacturing capabilities, and deepening reach into key target verticals. These acquisitions include:

MFG.com: Helps custom part manufacturers grow their business by making it easy for them to be discovered on its cloud-based Request for Quote ("RFQ") management platform and helps buyers to ﬁnd the best possible manufacturer that ﬁts their needs through a set of supplier and buyer marketplaces mainly for traditional manufacturing. MFG.com ﬁts well into Shapeways software strategy, adds immediate features with its marketplace products, and is expected to accelerate Otto's phased rollout.
MakerOS: Offers a SaaS service to facilitate design, prototype, and production processes for manufacturers and service providers. MakerOS brings features to Otto's product vision, particularly enhanced quoting, project management, and customer communications tools.
Linear AMS: An expert in plastics molding, tooling, and production, predominantly in the automotive industry. Headquartered in Michigan, Linear AMS has blue chip automotive customers, certifications, and access to their respective suppliers.

Revenue was $7.6 million compared to $8.8 million for the same period in 2021
Gross profit was $3.4 million compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2021

The investments are expected to result in a ramp in sales in the back half of the year and are anticipated to pressure margins in the coming quarters.

For the second quarter of 2022, the Company anticipates revenue to be in the range of $8.2 million to $8.5 million.

All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this press release, regarding the Company's strategy, future operations, impact of recent acquisitions, outlook, and prospects are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; failure to realize the anticipated benefits acquisitions; ability to retain customers of acquired companies; the risk that Shapeways has a history of losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future; the risk that the Company faces significant competition and expect to face increasing competition in many aspects; the risk that the digital manufacturing industry is a relatively new and emerging market and it is uncertain whether it will gain widespread acceptance; the risk that the Company's new and existing solutions and software do not achieve sufficient market acceptance; the loss of key personnel; the inability to timely and effectively scale our platform; and those factors discussed, under the heading "Risk Factors" in Shapeways' most recent Form 10-K, most recent Form 10-Q, and other documents Shapeways has filed, or will file, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or the Company's assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's assessments of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to Shapeways' results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), Shapeways believes that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, is useful in evaluating its operational performance. Shapeways uses this non-U.S. GAAP financial information to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Shapeways believes that this non-U.S. GAAP financial information, when reviewed collectively with its U.S. GAAP results, may be helpful to investors in assessing its operating performance.

Shapeways defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding debt forgiveness, interest expense, net of interest income, income tax benefit, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and other (which includes other income and non-operating gains and losses).

Shapeways believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends because it eliminates the effect of financing and capital expenditures and provides investors with a means to compare its financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to investors. However, you should be aware that when evaluating Adjusted EBITDA Shapeways may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, Shapeways' presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Shapeways compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its U.S. GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Shapeways' business.
