ROCK HILL, S.C., Oct. 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

For the third quarter of 2019, the company reported GAAP revenue of $155.3 million, compared to $164.5 million in the third quarter of the previous year. The company reported a GAAP loss of $0.15 per share in the third quarter of 2019 compared to a GAAP loss of $0.10 per share in the third quarter of 2018, and non-GAAP loss of $0.04 per share in the third quarter of 2019 compared to non-GAAP earnings of $0.02 per share in the third quarter of 2018.

Printer revenue decreased 17.2 percent compared to the third quarter of the prior year, driven by timing of large enterprise customer orders and the softer macro industrial environment. Materials revenue increased 2.8 percent, healthcare solutions revenue increased 6.3 percent including a large enterprise customer and 15.0 percent excluding this same customer. On demand services decreased 12.0 percent and software increased 0.1 percent compared to the prior year.

"Despite continued headwinds in the industry, we achieved modest growth in Materials and Healthcare this quarter, driven by customer demand for our core and new product solutions," commented Vyomesh Joshi ("VJ"), president and chief executive officer, 3D Systems. "We remain focused on cost reductions, cash generation and profitability in the near-term and driving long-term growth with the opportunities we have in our product portfolio and target markets."

The company reported GAAP gross profit margin of 43.3 percent for the third quarter of 2019 compared to 47.3 percent in the third quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP gross profit margin was 44.4 percent in the third quarter of 2019 compared to 47.4 percent in the third quarter of the prior year.

For the third quarter of 2019, GAAP operating expenses decreased 10.8 percent to $79.2 million compared to $88.8 million in the prior year period. GAAP SG&A expenses decreased 11.2 percent to $58.3 million. GAAP R&D expenses decreased 9.7 percent from the third quarter of the prior year to $20.9 million. The company continues to execute its cost reduction plans, and as a result of these actions, non-GAAP operating expenses decreased 6.0 percent to $69.3 million compared to $73.7 million in the third quarter of 2018.

The company generated $6.5 million of cash from operations during the quarter and had $127.6 million of unrestricted cash on hand at September 30, 2019. Cash generation during the third quarter was driven by improvements in working capital, including planned reductions of inventory.
