"We are pleased that, amidst the continued unprecedented global slowdown that has led to the reduction in our revenue compared with the 2008 periods, sales of our systems and proprietary materials improved during the second quarter sequentially," said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems' President and Chief Executive Officer.
"Notwithstanding the challenging environment in which we are operating, our gross profit margin for the quarter increased and our operating expenses decreased compared to the second quarter of 2008. These improvements have now demonstrated sustainability for three successive quarters," continued Reichental.
Systems' revenue increased sequentially by $1.0 million led by an 89% rebound in large-frame systems but declined to $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2009 from $11.5 million in the 2008 quarter. 3-D Printer sales benefited from the launch of the new V-Flash(r) Desktop Printer and sustained demand for the ProJet(tm) Professional Printer aided in part by continued growth in the dental applications' installed base.
Materials' sales grew by $1.1 million sequentially, indicating a modest recovery across the installed base, but declined some 28% relative to the second quarter of 2008. This decrease was a result of the combined effect of lower demand from service providers and a decline in end-user consumption, reflecting the recessionary business conditions. Sales of integrated materials represented 30% of total materials revenue in the second quarter of 2009.
Service revenue decreased some 20% year over year to $7.1 million for the quarter primarily as a result of a significant drop in maintenance and warranty revenue, reflecting the trailing 12-month cumulative impact of the decline in large-frame systems' revenue that began during the first quarter of 2008. The decrease in service revenue partially reflects the company's continued efforts to improve the profitability of its service revenue by culling less profitable components that resulted in a 22.1 percentage point improvement in Field Service gross profit margin from 15.7% to 37.8%.
Both foreign currency translation and weak global demand, particularly in the automotive sector, negatively impacted revenue in the second quarter of 2009. This negative impact was particularly strong in Japan.
The company ended the quarter with total backlog of approximately $1.6 million, consistent with normal operating trends of its business.
"During the second quarter of 2009, we began commercial shipments of our V-Flash(r) Desktop Printer," added Reichental. "We are very pleased with the initial marketplace reception that this sub-$10,000 3-D Printer is enjoying, particularly within educational and MCAD applications due to its superior speed, part quality and durability. Consistent with our plan, we expect shipments of V-Flash(r) Desktop Printers to increase during the third quarter. Our V-Flash(r) activities during the second quarter negatively affected our total gross profit margin by 2.1 percentage points for the quarter, consistent with our prior comments regarding their anticipated short-term effects. More information on the V-Flash(r) Desktop Printer is available at www.modelin3d.com.
"While the near-term economic outlook remains uncertain, we believe that market conditions may have begun to stabilize and that our revenue decline may have bottomed out during the first quarter of this year.
"We remain committed to our long-term growth objectives and expect to benefit competitively from our new and expanded product portfolio and stronger financial position. Given the progress we have made over the past three quarters, we are confident in our ability to execute on our plan and provide value to our customers and stockholders," concluded Reichental.
