The earnings call reflects a negative sentiment due to a significant revenue decline, reduced gross margins, and a net loss. Despite some cost-cutting improvements and new partnerships, the lack of clear guidance on achieving breakeven and the unclear management responses in the Q&A section contribute to investor uncertainty. The positive developments in the dental market and new partnerships are overshadowed by the overall financial performance and market concerns, leading to a likely negative stock price reaction.
Revenue Third quarter revenue was $91.2 million, down 13.8% year-over-year. The decline was attributed to customers' muted CapEx spending for new production capacity due to uncertainty around tariffs.
Industrial Solutions Revenue Revenue of $48 million declined 16% year-over-year or 4.5% excluding Geomagic. The decline was driven by softness in printers and materials sales in consumer-facing end markets, partially offset by nearly 50% growth in aerospace and defense.
Healthcare Solutions Revenue Revenue of $43 million decreased 22% from the prior year, predominantly due to lower sales within dental, with 2024 representing higher purchase volumes from a specific customer. MedTech delivered 8% growth from the prior year and slightly ahead of last quarter.
Gross Margin Non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarter was 33%, compared to 38% in the prior year and 34% when adjusted to exclude Geomagic. The decline was driven by lower sales volume and reduced material sales, partially offset by reduced inventory reserves.
Operating Expenses Non-GAAP operating expenses were $44.7 million, down 24% year-over-year when adjusted to exclude Geomagic and down 4.5% sequentially. This reflects the impact of cost reduction initiatives aimed at optimizing organizational capacity and reducing expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was negative $10.8 million, an improvement of $3.5 million compared to the prior year. This reflects progress in cost reductions across the business.
Net Loss GAAP net loss for the quarter was $18 million or $0.14 per share, an improvement compared to the $1.35 loss per share in the prior year period. The improvement was due to the absence of prior year asset impairment charges, lower amortization expense, and reduced operating expenses.
Cash Position The company closed the quarter with $114 million in total cash, consisting of $95 million in cash and cash equivalents and $19 million in restricted cash. Total debt net of deferred financing costs was $123 million.
