For the third quarter of 2017, the company reported revenue of $152.9 million compared to $156.4 million in the third quarter of the previous year. The company reported a third quarter GAAP loss of $0.34 per share compared to a loss of $0.19 per share in the prior year and a non-GAAP loss of $0.20 per share compared to non-GAAP earnings of $0.14 per share in the third quarter of 2016.

"While third quarter results did not meet our expectations, we believe actions taken during the quarter both organizationally and operationally better position the company for long term success," commented Vyomesh Joshi (VJ), Chief Executive Officer, 3D Systems. "During the quarter, we reorganized the go to market team, changing key leadership positions in both the Americas and the Asia Pacific region while shifting to a worldwide go to market structure. We also completed a deep and comprehensive review of our portfolio based on year to date demand, market trends and a solid understanding of where we meet and will continue to meet customers' expectations."

Demand from healthcare and industrial customers as well as strong execution in EMEA was more than offset by softer sales in the Americas and Asia Pacific regions.

The company reported gross profit margin of 38.3% for the third quarter of 2017, which included a $12.9 million charge to write down products and parts as a result of a comprehensive review of the portfolio and inventory. Gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2016 was 44.1%, which included $10.7 million of expenses related to discontinuation of projects and products.

For the third quarter of 2017, operating expenses were $90.9 million compared to $91.0 million in the prior year. SG&A expenses increased 3% to $66.5 million, which included continued investment in go to market and IT transformation. R&D expenses decreased 7% over the third quarter of 2016 to $24.4 million. The third quarter of 2017 included accelerated investments in printers, materials and software for both plastic and metal solutions in support of products the company plans to launch over the next several months. R&D expenses in the third quarter of 2016 included $6.1 million of expenses related to portfolio realignment and discontinuation of projects.

"We continued with our strategic investments in IT, go to market, quality, reliability and innovation, which we believe are critical to the company to drive long term growth," commented John McMullen, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "While we are reducing expenses where appropriate, we continue to be focused on actions and decisions we believe are necessary to best-position the company for long term success."

During the quarter, the company used $0.7 million of cash in operations and ended the quarter with $138.3 million of cash on hand.

For the first nine months of 2017, revenue increased $1.8 million to $468.8 million compared to $467.0 million in the first nine months of 2016. The company reported a GAAP loss of $0.50 per share for the first nine months of 2017 compared to a loss of $0.39 per share in the same period of the prior year and reported a non-GAAP loss of $0.06 per share in the first nine months of 2017 compared to a non-GAAP earnings of $0.31 per share in the same period of 2016.

"We have increased investments and resources to resolve legacy quality and reliability issues faster and have implemented organizational changes to continue to improve execution. We have made significant progress in many areas over the first nine months of this year and are taking additional actions necessary to position the company for long term success. At the same time, we continue to innovate for the future, and plan to bring to market a series of new and exciting products over the coming months," concluded Joshi.

Full Year 2017 Guidance
Management is focused on building the company for long term growth, profitability and success. This includes significant transformational work in solving for legacy issues while at the same time addressing current and go forward execution. Predictability has been difficult in this environment, and therefore, management believes it is prudent to withdraw guidance at this time.
