Customer Concentration

Our operating results for the foreseeable future will continue to depend on sales to a small group of customers. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, sales to the top three customers accounted for 47.0% and 24.5% of our revenue, respectively. Of the top three customers for the year ended December 31, 2024, all three customers were different from the top three customers for the comparable period in 2023. 

While our objective is to diversify our customer base, we believe that we could continue to be susceptible to risks associated with customer concentration. See “Risk Factors–Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital–We expect to rely on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our near-term revenue”, and see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies–Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties, in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. 

Continued Investment and Innovation

We continue to be a customer-focused company working to develop innovative solutions to address customers’ needs and focus on our customers to identify the most impactful areas for research and development as we seek to further improve the capabilities of our AM solutions. We believe this process has contributed significantly to our development of the most advanced metal AM systems in the world. We believe that continued investments in our products are important to our future growth and, as a result, we expect our research and development expenses to continue to increase, which may adversely affect our near-term profitability. 

Macroeconomic Conditions and Other World Events

General economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, inflation, foreign currency fluctuations, international tariffs, social, political and economic risks and acts of war or terrorism (including, for example, the ongoing military conflicts in Israel and in Ukraine and the economic sanctions related thereto), have added uncertainty in timing of customer orders and supply chain constraints. In 2024, we implemented a number of supply chain and manufacturing improvements in response and intend to continue to focus on driving further operational improvements during 2025 to reduce operating costs.

See “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—Market conditions, economic uncertainty or downturns could adversely affect our business and operating results” and “—We may be adversely affected by the effects of inflation or possible stagflation.”
