Protolabs Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2021

Record Revenue of $125.3 million in the Third Quarter of 2021, an increase of 17% year-over-year

Proto Labs, Inc. (NYSE: PRLB), the world’s leading provider of digital manufacturing services, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Highlights include:

  • Revenue for the third quarter of 2021 was $125.3 million, representing a 16.6 percent increase compared to revenue of $107.5 million in the third quarter of 2020.
  • Hubs generated $8.8 million of revenue in the third quarter.
  • Net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $4.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share.
  • Non-GAAP net income was $9.7 million, or $0.35 per diluted share. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

“We achieved record revenue in the third quarter amidst a difficult backdrop of global supply chain issues and labor and materials constraints. During the quarter, we also received external recognition of our best-in-class digital manufacturing capabilities as the World Economic Forum announced our induction into their Global Lighthouse Network, recognizing our industry leading efforts to implement Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies,” noted Rob Bodor, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to focus on the long-term market opportunities and invest in the business to serve the evolving needs of our customers.”

Additional Third Quarter 2021 Highlights include:

  • Protolabs served 23,457 unique product developers during the quarter, representing a 24.8 percent increase over the third quarter of 2020.
  • Gross margin in the third quarter of 2021 was 44.1 percent of revenue; Non-GAAP gross margin was 44.9 percent of revenue. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
  • EBITDA margin was 13.7 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 2021; adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.1 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 2021. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
  • Cash and investments balance was $83.9 million as of September 30, 2021.

“Our earnings in the third quarter were impacted by post pandemic-related cost inflation, as well as continued investments in our systems and product offering in order to maintain our position as the largest and fastest provider of digital manufacturing services,” added John Way, Chief Financial Officer. “We have a very strong balance sheet with $84 million in cash and investments and no debt, allowing us to continue to invest in future growth and return capital to our shareholders.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company has included non-GAAP revenue growth that excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and revenue earned from our acquisition of Hubs (collectively, “non-GAAP revenue growth”). Management believes these metrics are useful in evaluating the underlying business trends and ongoing operating performance of the company.

The company has included earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, unrealized (gain) loss on foreign currency, and transaction costs (collectively, “Adjusted EBITDA”), in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the company’s financial results.

The company has included non-GAAP operating margin, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, and transaction costs (collectively, “non-GAAP operating margin”), in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the company’s financial results.

The company has included non-GAAP net income, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, unrealized (gain) loss on foreign currency, and transaction costs (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 reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA, the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are used by the company’s management and board of directors to understand and evaluate operating performance and trends and provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of the company’s business. Accordingly, the company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

3 For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, income tax effects were calculated using the effective tax rate for the relevant jurisdictions. Our non-GAAP tax rates differ from our GAAP tax rates due primarily to the mix of activity incurred in domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions and removing effective tax rate benefits from stock-based compensation activity in the quarter.
