ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Item 1. Business
General
3D Systems Corporation (“3D Systems” or the “Company” or “we,” "our" or “us”) markets our products and services through subsidiaries in North America and South America (collectively referred to as “Americas”), Europe and the Middle East (collectively referred to as “EMEA”) and Asia Pacific and Oceania (collectively referred to as “APAC”). We provide comprehensive 3D printing and digital manufacturing solutions, including 3D printers for plastics and metals, materials, software, and services, including maintenance, advanced manufacturing and applications engineering. Our solutions support advanced applications in two key industry verticals: Healthcare Solutions (which includes dental, medical devices, personalized health services and regenerative medicine) and Industrial Solutions (which includes aerospace, defense, transportation and general manufacturing). We have over 35 years of experience and expertise, which have proven vital to our development of an ecosystem and end-to-end digital workflow solutions that enable customers to optimize product designs, transform workflows, bring innovative products to market and drive new business models.
Business Strategy
Accelerating Additive Manufacturing Adoption
We partner with customers to enable them to adopt and scale additive manufacturing in their production environments. We believe that our additive manufacturing capabilities can help customers solve a number of design and manufacturing challenges - such as improved lead times, enhanced design freedom, part consolidation and the ability for mass customization. We believe that we have both the scale and the breadth of technologies, encompassing hardware platforms, materials and software, that our customers require for the successful implementation of additive manufacturing into their design and manufacturing processes. Using a strong application focus in each of our two business segments, our Applications Innovation Group integrates our printer hardware, materials, software and professional and technical services in unique combinations to solve a customer’s product need. Once complete, we can scale the process for the customer to a certain production level through our Advanced Manufacturing solutions, and, with increasing demand, we can enable a customer to continue scaling to high volumes within their own production facilities. This transfer of the workflow involves providing the printing systems, materials and software, along with the process definition and other technical expertise, that enables a seamless transfer of capability to the manufacturer. We expect the result of this approach to drive recurring revenue streams as customers adopt additive manufacturing solutions and consume materials to produce parts, utilize software to manage the print process and manufacturing operations, and make use of our service offerings for application development, maintenance and upgrades. Our proficiency in providing industry focused application and solution development for customers includes a number of internal assets and capabilities, including:
a.A full range of additive manufacturing hardware technologies and materials to address needs in metals and plastics (including biocompatible materials for medical use), wax and bioprinting
b.An Application Innovation Group that includes industry and technology application experts, customer innovation and advanced manufacturing centers and post-sale service and support
c.A software suite that enables end-to-end additive manufacturing including design, simulation, process management and manufacturing execution
d.Scale that includes significant and diverse experience in production parts and applications combined with a global reach to service our customers worldwide
Investing in Regenerative Medicine
As an early and continuing innovator in additive manufacturing, we have significant experience in bringing this technology to new markets. Within our Healthcare Solutions segment, a portion of our business focuses on opportunities for additive manufacturing to be applied to regenerative medicine. To date, our efforts in the area of regenerative medicine have consisted primarily of pre-commercial bio-technology research and development ("R&D") in the areas described below.
Each year, end-stage organ failure kills millions of people, and the supply of donated organs is insufficient to meet the needs of patients seeking transplantation. Accordingly, our first area of focus is the use of additive manufacturing for human organ transplantation. In 2017, we entered into an arrangement that combined our 3D printing expertise and capabilities in human tissue engineering with the regenerative medicine and biotechnology expertise of a key strategic partner, with a long-term goal of developing the capability to 3D print lungs that will allow patients with end-stage lung disease to receive transplants that will enable them to enjoy long and active lives. In 2021, this program was expanded to also focus on developing the capability to print scaffolds for livers and kidneys, for which research continued through the start of 2024. Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, due to changes to our arrangement with and funding from our key strategic partner, the Company’s continuing organ program returned to focusing on developing the capability to print human lung scaffolds, for which the related R&D efforts will continue to be primarily funded by our key strategic partner. Given the loss of funding for research on kidneys and liver from our key strategic partner, those programs were discontinued during the first quarter of 2024.
Our second area of focus seeks to utilize our bio-printing capabilities to design and manufacture 3D-printed vascularized “organs-on-chips” for use in drug development by pharmaceutical industry customers. Currently, drug development is an expensive and time-consuming process, and many drug therapies that appear promising during pre-clinical trials fail during human clinical trials. We believe that “organs-on-chips” can accelerate the drug development process and reduce the cost of pre-clinical drug testing, as well as reduce the pharmaceutical industry’s reliance on animal testing. During 2024, our wholly-owned biotech company, Systemic Bio, continued its R&D work in this area with pharmaceutical industry customers. We are engaged in a review of strategic alternatives for Systemic Bio. During this review we plan to continue to provide internal funding to support Systemic Bio, including for product development and customer acquisition activities.
Products
We offer our customers a comprehensive range of 3D printers, materials, software, and digital design tools.
3D Printers and Materials
Our 3D printers transform digital data input generated by 3D design software, Computer Aided Design (“CAD”) software or other 3D design tools, into printed parts using several unique print engines that employ proprietary, additive layer by layer building processes with a variety of materials. As part of our solutions-oriented strategy, we offer a broad range of 3D printing technologies including Stereolithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering, Direct Metal Printing, MultiJet Printing, ColorJet Printing, polymer extrusion, and extrusion and SLA based bioprinting. Our printers utilize a wide range of materials, the majority of which are proprietary materials that we develop, blend, and market. Our comprehensive range of materials includes plastic, nylon, metal, composite, elastomeric, wax, polymeric dental materials and biocompatible materials. We augment and complement our portfolio of engineered materials with materials that we purchase or develop with third parties under private label and distribution arrangements.
We work closely with our customers to optimize the performance of our materials in their applications. Our expertise in materials science and formulation, combined with our processes, software and equipment, enables us to provide unique solutions and help our customers select the material that best meets their needs with optimal cost and performance results.
As part of our solutions approach, our currently offered printers, with the exception of direct metal printers and bioprinters, have built-in intelligence to make them integrated, closed systems. For these integrated printers, we furnish materials specifically designed for use in those printers, which are packaged in smart cartridges and utilize material delivery systems. These integrated materials are designed to enhance system functionality, productivity, reliability and materials' shelf life, in addition to providing our customers with a built-in quality management system and a fully integrated workflow solution.
Software and Related Products
We provide digital design tools, including software, scanners and haptic devices. We offer solutions for product design, simulation, mold and die design, 3D scan-to-print, reverse engineering, production machining, metrology, inspection and manufacturing workflows. These products are designed to enable a seamless workflow for customers. We also offer proprietary software to prepare and optimize CAD data and manage the additive manufacturing processes. These software products provide automated support building and placement, build platform management, print simulation and print queue management capabilities. The outcome is the ability to improve the quality of prints, optimize design structure, shorten design to manufacturing lead time and minimize manufacturing costs.
Since the acquisition of Oqton, Inc. ("Oqton") in 2021, we have also offered an intelligent, cloud-based "manufacturing operating system" ("MOS") platform to customers that need to integrate a broad range of advanced manufacturing and automation technologies, including additive manufacturing solutions, in their production workflows. Many of 3D System’s legacy stand-alone software applications are integrated into Oqton’s legacy MOS, so that we can offer our customers a complete cloud-based software solution to automate and control their entire digital manufacturing process from order to delivery.
In December 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of its Geomagic software business to Hexagon AB for $123 million, subject to customary adjustments. The divestiture of Geomagic is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2025, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. Geomagic represents only a portion of the Company’s broader software business, and its products primarily consist of reverse engineering, design and inspection software. Following the sale of Geomagic, the Company’s remaining software business and continued investment and development efforts will primarily focus on software solutions and platforms that accelerate the adoption of 3D printing technologies in large-scale, production application environments. These software platforms specifically include 3D Sprint, 3DXpert, which are core to the Company’s metal and polymer additive manufacturing solutions, and Oqton Industrial Manufacturing OS, which helps customers move from prototyping to a repeatable and high-quality production additive manufacturing process. Through these platforms, the Company will continue to offer software solutions for design, build preparation simulation, automation of repetitive tasks, inspection, preparing and optimizing CAD and polygon data, increasingly leveraging the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to drive efficiency, improved workflows, higher productivity, repeatability, and quality.
For purposes of our accompanying consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Geomagic business that we plan to sell have been reclassified and separately reported as held for sale in our balance sheet. Consistent with the remainder of our software business, Geomagic’s operating results historically have been, and continue to be, included in the financial results reported for our Industrial Segment. Geomagic has not been separately reported as a discontinued operation in our accompanying consolidated financial statements, as the sale of this component of our software business does not represent a shift away from providing software products to our customers.

Seasonality
Historically, our results of operations have been subject to seasonal factors. Stronger demand for our products has historically occurred in our fourth quarter primarily due to our customers’ capital expenditure budget cycles and our sales compensation incentive programs. Our first and third quarters have historically been our weakest quarters for overall unit demand. The first quarter has typically been a slow quarter for capital expenditures in general.
Production and Suppliers
In order to carry out the assembly and refurbishment of our 3D printer hardware, we utilize a combination of in-house operations and a limited outsourcing arrangement with a contract manufacturing company in Belgium from which we purchase finished printers pursuant to forecasts and customer orders that we supply. This supplier carries out quality control procedures on our printers prior to their shipment to customers and has responsibility for procuring the components and sub-assemblies either from us or third-party suppliers, which are sourced from a geographically diverse mix of countries. While the outsourced supplier of a small mix of our printers has responsibility for the supply chain and inventory of components for the printers they assemble, the components, parts and sub-assemblies that are used in our printers are generally available from several potential suppliers. During 2024, we completed our work to in-source the manufacturing of multiple printing platforms from contract manufacturing partners in order to realize improvements in production quality, cost efficiency, and inventory management, which resulted in the termination of outsourcing arrangements in the U.S. and Switzerland.
We produce materials at our facilities in Rock Hill, South Carolina, Marly, Switzerland and Soesterberg, Netherlands. We also have arrangements with third parties who blend certain materials according to our specifications that we sell under our own brand names, and we purchase certain complementary materials from third parties for resale to our customers.
Our equipment assembly and materials blending activities, advanced manufacturing services and certain R&D activities are subject to compliance with applicable federal, state and local provisions regulating the storage, use and discharge of materials into the environment. Our facilities engaged in such activities are subject to periodic compliance audits by applicable regulatory authorities. We believe that we are in compliance, in all material respects, with such regulations as currently in effect, and we expect continued compliance with them will not have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, results of operations or financial position.
As a company with global operations, we are subject to the laws of the U.S. and multiple foreign jurisdictions in which we operate and the rules and regulations of various governing bodies, which may differ among jurisdictions. Compliance with these laws, rules and regulations is not expected to have a material effect on our capital expenditures, results of operations or financial position.
Research and Development
The 3D printing industry continues to experience rapid technological change and developments in hardware, software and materials. Consequently, we have ongoing R&D programs to develop new products and to enhance our portfolio of products and services, as well as to improve and expand the capabilities of our solutions. Our efforts are often augmented by development arrangements with research institutions, including universities, customers, suppliers, assembly and design firms, engineering companies, materials companies, governments and other partners.
We are also engaged in various R&D efforts related to regenerative medicine. These efforts include the application of 3D printing technologies to the development of transplantable organs and non-organ human applications. These efforts are expected to result in new products that we will market directly or in conjunction with development or channel partners.
In addition to our internally developed technology platforms, we have acquired products and technologies developed by others by acquiring business entities that held ownership rights to such products and technologies. In other instances, we have licensed or purchased the intellectual property rights of technologies developed by third parties through agreements that may obligate us to pay a license fee or royalty, typically based upon a dollar amount per unit or a percentage of the revenue generated by such products.
Intellectual Property
We regard our technology platforms and materials as proprietary and seek to protect them through copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets. At December 31, 2024 and 2023 we held 1,247 and 1,381 patents worldwide, respectively. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had 300 and 350 pending patent applications worldwide, respectively. The principal issued patents covering aspects of our various technologies will expire at varying times through the year 2034.
In addition, we are a party to various licenses that have had the effect of broadening the range of the patents, patent applications and other intellectual property available to us.
We have also entered into licensing or cross-licensing arrangements with various companies in the U.S. and other countries that enable those companies to utilize our technologies in their products or that enable us to use their technologies in our products. Under certain of these licenses, we are entitled to receive, or we are obligated to pay, royalties for the sale of licensed products in the U.S. or in other countries. The amount of such royalties was not material to our annual results of operations or financial position for the three-year period ended December 31, 2024.
We believe that, while our patents and licenses provide us with a competitive advantage, our success also depends on our marketing, business development, applications know-how and ongoing R&D efforts. Accordingly, we believe the expiration of any of the patents, patent applications, or licenses discussed above would not be material to our business or financial position.
Competition
We compete with other suppliers of 3D printers, materials, software and healthcare solutions as well as with suppliers of conventional manufacturing solutions. We compete with these suppliers for customers as well as channel partners for certain of our products. Development of new technologies or techniques not encompassed by the patents that we own or license may result in additional future competition.
Our competitors operate both globally and regionally, and many of them have well-recognized brands and product lines.
We believe principal competitive factors include the functionality and breadth of our technology and materials, process and application know-how, total cost of operation of the solution, product reliability and the ability to provide a complete solution to meet customer needs. We believe that our future success depends on our ability to provide high-quality solutions, introduce new products and services to meet evolving customer needs and market opportunities, and to extend our technologies to new applications.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully read the following discussion of significant factors, events and uncertainties when evaluating our business and the forward-looking information contained in this Form 10-K. The events and consequences discussed in these risk factors could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, liquidity or financial condition. While we believe we have identified and discussed below the key risk factors affecting our business, these risk factors do not identify all the risks we face, and there may be additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know or that we do not currently believe to be significant that may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, liquidity or financial condition in the future.
Operational & Financial Risk Factors
Current macro-economic trends and geopolitical landscape have been adversely affecting, and could continue to adversely affect, our business, results of operations and financial condition due to their impact on the industries in which we and our customers operate, and due to the unknown speed, extent and nature of the reversal of those trends.
Certain global macro-economic trends have been adversely impacting the global economic environment and have contributed towards inflationary pressures on many goods, commodities and services globally. The high rates of inflation globally have caused governments and central banks to act to curb inflation, including by raising interest rates, which is intended to temper economic activity and which, if more powerful than intended, could trigger recessionary conditions in individual countries or regions, or globally. These macro-economic trends have been impacting our target markets and our results of operations. For example, rising interest rates, which are meant to slow down inflation, have been worsening credit/financing conditions for our customers and adversely impacting their ability to purchase our products.
While we believe that we are well-positioned to withstand the current adverse macro-economic trends, given our balance sheet (primarily due to our reserves of cash and cash equivalents) and our emphasis on operational efficiencies and execution, we continue to monitor the situation, assessing further implications for our operations, supply chain, liquidity, cash flow and customer orders, in an effort to mitigate potential new adverse consequences should they arise. However, there is no assurance that we will succeed at doing so.
Current or future downturns could also have a material adverse impact on our business partners 'stability and financial strength. Given the uncertainties associated with these trends in the current macro-economic environment, it is difficult to fully assess the magnitude of their effects on our, and our business partners.' business, financial condition and results of operations. The trends associated with the current economic environment may also have the effect of amplifying many of the other risks described herein.
Current political relations could potentially impact trade and tariff restrictions, which could adversely affect our operations, supply chains, and profitability. Changes in trade policies or political relations between countries may result in delays, increased costs, or disruptions in our ability to source materials, manufacture, or distribute products, which could have a material negative impact on our business.
The loss of, continued reduction or substantial decline in revenue from larger clients could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability and liquidity.
We have experienced revenue concentration with a large customer that for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 represented approximately 16%, 15% and 23% of our consolidated revenue, respectively. The further loss of revenue from, deterioration of the financial condition of, or a significant change to the business of this customer could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, this concentration exposes us to concentrated credit risk, as a significant portion of our accounts receivable may be from a single customer. If we are unable to collect our receivables, or are required to take additional reserves, our results of operations and cash flow from operations will be adversely affected.
Changes in business conditions may cause our goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived tangible assets, or right-of-use assets to become impaired.
Goodwill is subject to an impairment test on an annual basis and when circumstances indicate that an impairment is more likely than not. Long-lived assets - consisting of tangible assets, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets - are assessed for recoverability and tested for impairment at the asset group level, and testing is required when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable. Circumstances that may require goodwill to be tested more frequently than the annual impairment test, or indicate that a long-lived asset group is not recoverable, include a significant adverse change in the business climate, current-period operating or cash flow losses combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses, projections or forecasts that demonstrate continuing losses, or a decision to dispose of a business or product line. We face some uncertainty in our business environment due to a variety of challenges, including changes in customer demand and in the trading price of our common stock and market capitalization during the three month period ended September 30, 2024. While we recorded impairment charges of $145.0 million related to goodwill, intangible assets, tangible assets, and right-of-use assets during 2024 and an impairment charge of $302.8 million related to our goodwill and intangible assets during 2023, we may experience additional unforeseen circumstances that adversely affect the value of these assets and trigger an evaluation of their
carrying amounts. Future impairments of goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived tangible assets, or right-of-use assets could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our uneven sales cycle makes planning and inventory management difficult and future financial results less predictable.
Our quarterly sales often have reflected a pattern in which a disproportionate percentage of each quarter’s total sales occur towards the end of the quarter, in particular for sales of hardware and software products. This uneven sales pattern makes predicting net revenue, earnings, cash flow from operations and working capital for each financial period difficult, increases the risk of unanticipated variations in our quarterly results and financial condition and places pressure on our inventory management and logistics systems. If predicted demand is substantially greater than orders, there may be excess inventory. Alternatively, if orders substantially exceed predicted demand, we may not be able to fulfill all of the orders received in each quarter and such orders may be canceled. Furthermore, depending on when they occur in a quarter, developments such as an information systems failure, component pricing movements, component shortages or global logistics disruptions could adversely impact our inventory levels and results of operations in a manner that is disproportionate to the number of days in the quarter affected.
The variety of products that we sell could cause significant quarterly fluctuations in our gross profit margins, and those fluctuations in margins could cause fluctuations in operating income or loss and net income or loss.
We regularly work to expand and improve our products, materials and services offerings, geographic areas in which we operate and the distribution channels we use to reach various target product applications and customers. This variety of products, applications, channels and regions involves a range of gross profit margins that can cause substantial quarterly fluctuations in gross profit and gross profit margins depending upon the mix of product shipments from quarter to quarter. Additionally, the introduction of new products or services may further heighten quarterly fluctuations in gross profit and gross profit margins due to manufacturing ramp-up and start-up costs. We may experience significant quarterly fluctuations in gross profit margins or operating income or loss due to the impact of the mix of products, offerings, geographic areas and distribution channels we use to sell our products, materials and offerings from period to period.
Our products and services may experience quality problems from time to time that can result in decreased sales and operating margin, product returns, product liability, and warranty or other claims that could result in significant expenses and harm to our reputation.
We sell complex hardware and software products, materials and services that can contain undetected design and manufacturing defects or errors when first introduced or as enhancements are released that, despite testing, are not discovered until after the product has been installed and used by customers. Sophisticated software and applications, such as those sold by us, may contain “bugs” that can unexpectedly interfere with the software’s intended operation. Defects may also occur in components and products we purchase from third parties. There can be no assurance we will be able to detect and fix all defects in the hardware, software, materials and services we sell. Failure to do so could result in lost revenue, product returns, product liability, delayed market acceptance of those products and services, claims from distributors, end-users or others, increased end-user service and support costs, and significant warranty claims and other expenses to correct the defects. Additionally, such quality problems may result in a diversion of management time and attention and harm to our reputation.
We also sell end-use parts to customers in the aerospace, medical, and semiconductor industries and 3D printing systems to customers in the aerospace industry, which carry with them a greater potential for liability claims against us. In the case of end-use parts, our sales to customers in the aerospace, medical, and semiconductor industries, in particular, make us more susceptible to product and other liability claims, which characterize operations in those industries. Sales of our 3D printing systems to customers in the aerospace industry similarly carry with them potential liability claims if the parts produced by those systems do not function properly. Any such claims that are not adequately covered by insurance or for which insurance is not available may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We depend on external vendors and suppliers for the components and spare parts for our 3D printers and for chemicals and packaging used in our materials. Supply and logistical disruptions occur periodically for many of our supply chain partners. If these relationships were to terminate or these or other disruptions, such as extreme weather events, worsen, our business could be disrupted while we locate alternative sources of supply and our expenses may increase.
We purchase components and sub-assemblies for our printers from third-party suppliers that we provide to our customers as spare parts. Additionally, we purchase raw chemicals and packaging that are used in our materials, as well as certain of those materials, from third-party suppliers.
While there are typically several potential suppliers of parts for our products, we currently choose to use only one or a limited number of suppliers for several of these items, including our lasers, materials and certain jetting components. Our reliance on a single or limited number of suppliers involves many risks, including, among others, the following:
•Potential shortages of some key components;
•Disruptions in the operations of these suppliers;
•Product performance shortfalls; and
•Reduced control over delivery schedules, assembly capabilities, quality and costs.
Increased occurrence of extreme weather events, increased temperature, and related disruptions may impact our ability to reliably procure key inputs from third-party suppliers, which could increase our costs and interrupt supply and adversely impact our business.
Periodic delays on the inbound supply chain at our partners and our own facilities have also created challenges. We continue to identify alternative solutions, but an inability to source from alternative suppliers in a timely manner could impact our ability to fulfill demand.
While we believe that, if necessary, we can obtain all the components necessary for our spare parts and materials from other manufacturers, we require any new supplier to become “qualified” pursuant to our internal procedures, which could involve evaluation processes of varying durations. Our spare parts and raw chemicals used in our materials production are subject to various lead times. In addition, at any time, certain suppliers may decide to discontinue production of a part or raw material that we use, or may not have supplies available due to supplier business disruption. Any unanticipated change in the sources of our supplies, or unanticipated supply limitations, could increase production or related costs and consequently reduce margins.
If our forecasts exceed actual orders, we may hold large inventories of slow-moving or unusable parts, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flow, profitability and results of operations. Inversely, we may lose orders if our forecast is low and we are unable to meet demand. There is considerable uncertainty on the business impact from labor and supply limitations on our vendors, suppliers, and partners. If disruptions to global businesses continue or worsen it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations related to our operations and the use of our systems and materials, including requirements imposed due to use of our products by our customers, which could subject us to compliance costs and/or potential liability in the event of non-compliance.
In areas of operations that involve handling hazardous materials, failure to maintain safe working conditions could result in workplace injuries, regulatory penalties, and reputational harm, as well as increased costs related to litigation, insurance, and compliance.
The export of our products internationally subjects us to environmental laws and regulations concerning the import and export of chemicals and hazardous substances such as the United States Toxic Substances Control Act, or TSCA, and the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical Substances, or REACH. These laws and regulations require the testing and registration of some chemicals that we ship along with, or that form a part of, our systems and other products. If we fail to comply with these or similar laws and regulations, we may be required to make significant expenditures to reformulate the chemicals that we use in our products and materials or incur costs to register such chemicals to gain and/or regain compliance. Additionally, we could be subject to significant fines or other civil and criminal penalties should we not achieve such compliance.
We are furthermore subject to extensive environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and permitting requirements in multiple jurisdictions due to our use of chemicals and production of waste materials as part of our operations and in connection with the operation of our systems by our customers. In certain cases, the required compliance with health or safety regulations is imposed by our customers themselves. These laws, regulations and requirements (which include the Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment of the European Union (EU) and the EU Directive on Restriction of Use of Certain Hazardous Substances) govern, among other things, the generation, use, storage, registration, handling and disposal of chemicals and waste materials, the presence of specified substances in electrical products, the emission and discharge of hazardous materials into the ground, air or water, the cleanup of contaminated sites, including any contamination that results from spills due to our failure to properly dispose of chemicals and other waste materials and the health and safety of our employees. Under these laws, regulations and requirements, we could also be subject to liability for improper disposal of chemicals and waste materials, including those resulting from the use of our systems and accompanying materials by end-users.
These or future laws and regulations could potentially require the expenditure of significant amounts for compliance or remediation. If our operations fail to comply with such laws or regulations, we may be subject to fines and other civil, administrative or criminal sanctions, including the revocation of permits and licenses necessary to continue our business activities. In addition, we may be required to pay damages or civil judgments in respect of third-party claims, including those relating to personal injury (including exposure to hazardous substances that we generate, use, store, handle, transport, manufacture or dispose of), property damage or contribution claims. Some environmental laws allow for strict, joint and several liabilities for remediation costs, regardless of fault. We may be identified as a potentially responsible party under such laws. If we fail to comply with any such regulations or are subject to related liability, such developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we do not generate net cash flow from operations and if we are unable to raise additional capital, our financial condition could be adversely affected and we may not be able to execute our business strategy.
We cannot assure you that we will generate cash from operations or identify and secure other potential sources to fund future working capital needs and meet capital expenditure requirements.
If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring or incurring additional debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to obtain additional capital or refinance any indebtedness will depend on, among other things, our ability to find a buyer for the assets and the capital markets, our financial condition at such time and the terms and conditions of any such financing or indebtedness. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms.
The lack of additional capital resulting from any inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise equity or debt financing could force us to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that any necessary funds, if available, would be available on attractive terms or that they would not have a significantly dilutive effect on our existing stockholders. If our financial condition were to worsen and we become unable to attract additional equity or debt financing or enter into other strategic transactions, we would not be able to execute our business strategy and we could default on our debt obligations, become insolvent or be forced to declare bankruptcy.
Our business could be adversely impacted in the event of a failure of our information technology infrastructure or a successful cyber-attack.
We extensively rely on information technology systems and networks to operate our Company and meet our business objectives. Due to evolving cybersecurity threats, it has and will continue to be difficult to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity incidents. We experience cybersecurity threats, threats to our information technology infrastructure, and unauthorized attempts to gain access to our sensitive information. We face threats that vary from those common to most industries, to more advanced and persistent threats from highly organized adversaries who target us because of the products and services we provide. We also rely on information technology and third-party vendors to support our operations, including our secure processing of personal, confidential, sensitive, proprietary and other types of information. To date, risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previous cybersecurity incidents, have not materially affected us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, but we face ongoing risks from cybersecurity threats that may from time to time in the future cause material adverse impacts on our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Despite ongoing efforts to continually improve our and our vendors’ ability to protect against cybersecurity threats and the implementation of various safeguards, including increasing our cyber insurance, regularly conducting Company-wide cybersecurity awareness training, and establishing a dedicated team of personnel to address cyber-based threats, we may not be able to fully protect all information systems, and such incidents may lead to reputational harm, revenue and customer loss, and legal action, among other consequences.
We may also need to expend additional resources to adapt our cybersecurity program to the evolving threat landscape and to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other identified risks. Given the persistence, sophistication, volume, and novelty of threats we face, we may not be successful in preventing or mitigating cybersecurity threats that could have a material adverse effect on us. The costs related to cybersecurity threats or other disruptions may also not be fully insured or indemnified by other means. Such events could result in the loss of competitive advantages derived from our R&D efforts or other intellectual property, which could result in early obsolescence of our products and services. The occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect our internal operations, the services we provide to our customers, impact our financial results and reputation, or result in litigation, fines, and penalties.
We are subject to numerous laws, regulations, and contractual obligations designed to protect our regulated data, and that of our customers. These include complex and evolving laws, rules, regulations, and standards in many jurisdictions, as well as contractual obligations, relating to cybersecurity and data privacy. Such laws, rules, regulations, and standards pose increasingly complex compliance challenges and potential costs. Any loss of sensitive information and failure to comply with these requirements or other applicable laws and regulations in this area, could result in significant regulatory non-compliance exposure or other penalties and legal liabilities.
Servicing or refinancing our debt may require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash or the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "Notes") in cash, repay the Notes at maturity, or repurchase the Notes as required following a fundamental change.
As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $214.4 million outstanding of the Notes. Our ability to service or refinance our remaining indebtedness, including the Notes, or to make cash payments in connection with any conversions of the Notes, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt, or obtaining additional debt financing or equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations. In addition, any of our future debt agreements may contain restrictive covenants that may prohibit us from adopting any of these alternatives.
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the Notes is triggered, holders of Notes will be entitled to convert the Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their Notes, we would be required to settle any converted principal through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.
In addition, holders of the Notes have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the applicable indenture governing the Notes) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased. If the Notes have not previously been converted or repurchased, we will be required to repay such Notes in cash at maturity.
Our ability to make required cash payments in connection with conversions of the Notes, repurchase the Notes in the event of a fundamental change, or to repay or refinance the Notes at maturity will depend on market conditions and our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control. As a result, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to repurchase or repay the Notes or pay cash with respect to Notes being converted.
The indenture governing the Notes (the "Indenture") contains covenants that impose significant restrictions on us, and the failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default under these instruments.
The indenture governing the Notes contains customary covenants, events of default and other provisions. A breach of the covenants or other provisions under the Indenture could result in an event of default under the Notes, which, if not cured or waved, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, including through the imposition of special interest. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company became non-compliant with certain terms of the Indenture due to its failure to file its 2023 Form 10-K and its Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and provide them to the Trustee by the applicable deadline under the terms of the Indenture. These defaults did not become an event of default under the terms of the Indenture given that the Company filed its 2023 Form 10-K and its Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024 prior to the end of the cure period provided by the Indenture, which cure period was not initiated by the Trustee or holders of the Notes. The Company did not incur any special interest as a result of the defaults, nor did the Notes become subject to any other actions by the Trustee or the holders. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in Compliance with all of the covenants included within the Indenture.
Our operations and business performance could suffer if we are unable to attract and retain senior management or other key employees.
Our success depends largely on our ability to attract, hire, develop, and retain senior management and key employees, such as engineers, scientists, and other key skilled employees supporting our products and services. The engagement and retention of our global teams is dependent on maintaining an inclusive culture where our people feel valued, respected, and have equal opportunities for growth and development.
Our senior management team is critical to the leadership of our business operations and the development and execution of our business strategy. When changes occur within senior management or within key employee roles, we are required to manage the continuity of our business, and typically incur incremental costs including search costs, relocation costs, and timing associated with onboarding and knowledge transfer. High demand exists for senior management and other key employees with experience in additive manufacturing and certain technical skills, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain such talent. We experience intense competition for qualified talent.
While we aim to provide competitive compensation packages to attract and retain senior management and key employees and engage in regular succession planning for these positions, larger competitors with more resources available to them can make it difficult for us to successfully compete for key talent. If we cannot attract and retain sufficiently qualified talent, such as engineers, scientists, and other key technically skilled employees, or have an adequate succession plan in place, we may be unable to develop, commercialize, and sell new or existing products and services. Furthermore, increasing competition for critical technical skills in the regions surrounding our facilities could require us to pay more to hire and retain key employees, thereby increasing labor costs.
Business Strategy Risk Factors
We have made, and may make in the future, strategic acquisitions and divestitures that may involve significant risks and uncertainties. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions and integration of these acquisitions may disrupt our business and divert management attention. Likewise, our potential future divestitures may be unsuccessful and negatively impact our business.
As a result, from time to time, we evaluate acquisition candidates that fit our business objectives. Acquisitions involve certain risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the following:
•The inability to successfully improve operating efficiency and reduce costs through our restructuring initiatives;
•Difficulty in integrating newly acquired businesses and operations in an efficient and cost-effective manner, which may also impact our ability to realize the potential benefits associated with the acquisition;
•The risk that significant unanticipated costs or other problems associated with integration may be encountered;
•The risk that we do not fully integrate our acquisitions, which could drive greater complexity and higher costs in our business operations;
•The challenges in achieving strategic objectives, cost savings and other anticipated benefits;
•The risk that our marketplaces do not evolve as anticipated and that the technologies acquired do not prove to be those needed to be successful in the marketplaces that we serve;
•The risk that we assume significant liabilities that exceed the limitations of any applicable indemnification provisions or the financial resources of any indemnifying party;
•The inability to maintain a relationship with key customers, vendors and other business partners of the acquired businesses;
•The difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies during the transition and integration;
•The potential loss of key employees of the acquired businesses;
•The risk of diverting management attention from our existing operations;
•Difficulties in coordinating geographically disparate organizations and corporate cultures and integrating management personnel with different business backgrounds;
•The potential failure of the due diligence process to identify significant problems, liabilities or other challenges of an acquired company or technology;
•The risk that we incur significant costs associated with such acquisition activity that may negatively impact our operating results before the benefits of such acquisitions are realized, if at all;
•The entry into marketplaces where we have no or limited direct prior experience and where competitors have stronger marketplace positions;
•The exposure to litigation or other claims in connection with our assuming claims or litigation risks from terminated employees, customers, former shareholders or other third parties; and
•The risk that historical financial information may not be representative or indicative of our results as a combined company.
Historically, we have grown organically and from acquisitions, and we intend to continue to grow in such manner. Our infrastructure will require, among other things, continued development of our financial and management controls and management information systems, management of our sales channel, continued capital expenditures, the ability to attract and retain qualified management personnel and the training of new personnel. We cannot be sure that our infrastructure, systems, procedures, business processes and managerial controls will be adequate to support the growth in our operations. Any delays in, or problems associated with, implementing, or transitioning to, new or enhanced systems, procedures, or controls to accommodate and support the requirements of our business and operations and to effectively and efficiently integrate acquired operations may adversely affect our ability to meet customer requirements, manage our product inventory, and record and report financial and management information on a timely and accurate basis. These potential negative effects could prevent us from realizing the benefits of an acquisition transaction or other growth opportunity.
Likewise, we have in the past, and may in the future, divest certain business operations. Divestitures involve a number of risks, including the diversion of management's attention, significant costs and expenses, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, the loss of customer relationships and cash flow, and the disruption of operations in the affected business. Failure to timely complete or consummate a divestiture may negatively affect valuation of the affected business or result in restructuring charges.
In the event of an unsuccessful acquisition or divestiture, our competitive position, revenues, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We believe that our future success depends on our ability to deliver products and services that meet changing technology and customer needs.
Our business may be affected by rapid technological change, changes in user and customer requirements and preferences, frequent new product and service introductions embodying new technologies and the emergence of new standards and practices, any of which could render our existing products and proprietary technology obsolete. Accordingly, our ongoing R&D programs are intended to enable us to maintain technological leadership. We believe, to remain competitive, we must identify product needs in the market, effectively define product specifications and performance to satisfy market needs, and timely launch new products to market. However, there is a risk that we may not be able to:
•Develop or obtain leading technologies useful in our business;
•Enhance our existing products;
•Develop new product, service and technology capabilities that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of prospective customers, particularly in the area of printer speeds, materials functionality and environmental impacts.
•Respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis; or
•Recruit or retain key technology employees.
If we are unable to meet changing technology and customer needs, our competitive position, revenue, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
The success of our regenerative medicine efforts depends on developing and commercializing products, either ourselves or in conjunction with development partners, that are subject to technical and market risks.
Our regenerative medicine program requires us to develop products that enable the application of additive manufacturing to human organ transplantation and organ models used for drug discovery and development. These initiatives may require significant investment and technical achievement of viable product candidates may not be achieved. Despite significant investment requirements, our regenerative medicine efforts may result in only nominal revenue with no guarantee of future revenue growth. Our development efforts remain subject to risks including but not limited to, ongoing funding commitments from our development partners and unanticipated technical or other hurdles to commercialization. For example, in the first quarter of 2024, revised funding arrangements with our key strategic partner refocused the Company’s continuing organ program on developing the capability to print human lung scaffolds, and away from developing the capability to print scaffolds for livers and kidneys. Any products developed through our research efforts are subject to safety, regulatory and efficacy risks that may result in delays to commercialization, cause us to incur additional expenses or fail to achieve commercialization. In addition, any products that achieve commercialization and regulatory approval are subject to market risks including reimbursement from third-party payers and competition from existing or new products that aim to address similar indications. In addition, difficulties in our research efforts may lead to disputes our strategic partners and other third parties, such as the dispute with former shareholders of Volumetric described under the heading “Termination of Volumetric Milestones Related to Potential Earnout Payments” in Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements.
Regulatory, Legislative and Legal Risk Factors
We are subject to U.S. and other anti-corruption laws, trade controls, economic sanctions, privacy regulations, and other similar laws and regulations. Our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could subject us to civil, criminal and administrative penalties and harm our reputation.
Doing business on a worldwide basis requires us to comply with the laws and regulations of the U.S. government and various other foreign jurisdictions. These laws and regulations place restrictions on our operations, trade practices, partners and investments.
In particular, our operations are subject to U.S. and foreign anti-corruption and trade control laws and regulations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and United Kingdom Bribery Act (the “Bribery Act”), export controls and economic sanctions programs, including those administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (“DDTC”) and the Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) of the Department of Commerce. As a result of doing business in foreign countries and with foreign customers, we are exposed to a heightened risk of violating anti-corruption and trade control laws and sanctions regulations.
As part of our business, we may deal with state-owned business enterprises, the employees of which are considered foreign officials for purposes of the FCPA’s prohibition on providing anything of value to foreign officials for the purposes of obtaining or retaining business or securing any improper business advantage. In addition, the provisions of the Bribery Act extend beyond bribery of foreign public officials and also apply to transactions with individuals that a government does not employ. Some of the international locations in which we operate lack a developed legal system and have higher than normal levels of corruption. Our continued expansion outside the U.S., including in Brazil, China, India and developing countries, and our development of new partnerships worldwide, could increase the risk of FCPA, OFAC or Bribery Act violations in the future.
As an exporter, we must comply with various laws and regulations relating to the export of products and technology from the U.S. and other countries having jurisdiction over our operations. In the U.S., these laws include the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) administered by the DDTC, the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) administered by the BIS and trade sanctions against embargoed countries and destinations administered by OFAC. The EAR governs products, parts, technology and software which present military or weapons proliferation concerns, so-called “dual use” items, and ITAR governs military items listed on the United States Munitions List. Any failures to comply with these laws and regulations could result in fines, adverse publicity and restrictions on our ability to export our products, and repeat failures could carry more significant penalties.
Violations of anti-corruption and trade control laws and sanction regulations are punishable by civil penalties, including fines, denial of export privileges, injunctions, asset seizures, debarment from government contracts and revocations or restrictions of licenses, as well as criminal fines and imprisonment and could harm our reputation, create negative shareholder sentiment and affect our share value. We have established policies and procedures designed to assist our compliance with applicable U.S. and international anti-corruption and trade control laws and regulations, including the FCPA, the Bribery Act and trade controls and sanctions programs administered by OFAC, the DDTC and BIS, and have trained our employees to comply with these laws and regulations. However, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, consultants, agents or other associated persons will not take actions in violation of our policies and these laws and regulations. Additionally, there can be no assurance that our policies and procedures will effectively prevent us from violating these regulations in every transaction in which we may engage or provide a defense to any alleged violation. In particular, we may be held liable for the actions that our joint venture partners take inside or outside of the United States, even though our partners may not be subject to these laws. Such a violation, even if our policies prohibit it, could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, various state and municipal governments, universities and other investors maintain prohibitions or restrictions on investments in companies that do business with sanctioned countries, persons and entities, which could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
Many governments, regulators, investors, employees, customers, and other stakeholders are increasingly focused on environmental considerations relating to businesses, including climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as use of plastic materials. We monitor new and changing international, federal, and state environmental reporting obligations. As new or increased regulations take effect, these changing requirements may impose significant operational costs to comply, and expand compliance requirements for our products, our operations, and our supply chain, which could negatively impact our competitive position.
In addition, we have operations globally and are subject to various privacy and data protection laws, which encompasses the collection, use, disclosure, and storage of personal information and personally identifiable health information. This requires us to dedicate resources to implement controls and infrastructure to protect personal and health information needed to conduct our business activities. Failure to do so could subject us to potential regulatory fines, penalties, litigation, and could negatively impact our business and reputation.
We are subject to complex government laws and regulations relating to certain product sets and failure to meet the stringent requirements could impact our business operations and financial position.
Our medical device business is subject to extensive global regulations and enforcement, including in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S., and other governmental authorities for which our product is distributed. There are complex approvals for medical devices to be placed on the market, as well as ongoing responsibilities under these regulations. Failure to comply with the applicable regulation for which the medical device applies could result in corrective actions, recalls, removal of local authority approvals, ceasing business activities, fines, and criminal prosecution.
Failure to comply with the terms of our settlement agreements with the U.S. Departments of State, Commerce, and Justice could have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and, even if we comply with those settlement agreements, the costs and burdens of compliance could be significant, and we may face additional investigations and proceedings from other governmental entities or third parties related to the same or similar conduct underlying the agreements.
In October 2017, we received an administrative subpoena from the BIS requesting the production of records in connection with possible violations of U.S. export control laws, including with regard to our former Quickparts.com, Inc. subsidiary. In addition, while collecting information responsive to the above-referenced subpoena, our internal investigation identified potential violations of the ITAR administered by the DDTC and potential violations of the EAR administered by the BIS. On June 8, 2018 and thereafter, we submitted voluntary disclosures to BIS and DDTC identifying potentially unauthorized exports between 2012 and 2017, including to China, of controlled items including technical data. In connection with these matters, in August 2020, we received two federal grand jury subpoenas issued by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The Company responded to these two subpoenas and fully cooperated with the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ“) in the related investigation.
In February 2023, the Company settled these matters with all three agencies. See Note 22, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Compliance with the terms of these agreements, which imposed measures to strengthen the Company’s export compliance programs, could impose additional costs on the Company. If we fail to comply with the terms of these agreements, additional monetary penalties or government actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Since 2018, we have implemented new compliance procedures to identify and prevent potential violations of export controls laws, trade sanctions and government contracting laws and regulations and from November 2018 through October 2024 maintained a separate Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors to further enhance board oversight of compliance risks. As we continue to implement additional compliance enhancements, we may discover additional potential violations of export controls laws, trade sanctions or government contracting laws. If we identify any additional potential violations, we will submit voluntary disclosures to the relevant agencies and cooperate with such agencies on any related investigations. However, if we are found to have violated one or more export control laws, trade sanctions or government contracting laws, we could be subject to various civil or criminal penalties, significant compliance, litigation, settlement costs or other losses, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We may also be subject to negative publicity related to these matters, which could harm our reputation, reduce demand for our products, solutions and services, result in employee attrition and negatively impact our stock price.
As a result of the delayed filing of our 2023 Form 10-K, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company has experienced risks and costs and expects to experience additional risks and costs in the future, including with respect to the SEC's ongoing investigation.
As a result of the circumstances giving rise to the delayed filing of our 2023 Form 10-K, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company has experienced risks and costs and expects to experience additional risks and costs in the future. The audit of the financial statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K was time-consuming, required the Company to incur additional incremental expenses and affected management’s attention and resources. Further, the measures to strengthen internal controls being implemented continue to require and will likely require in the future greater management time and Company resources to implement and monitor. Although we have now filed our 2023 Form 10-K, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, our failure to make these filings in a timely manner has led to further investigation and scrutiny by the SEC, which has been conducting a formal investigation of the Company since April 2022 as a follow on to the previously disclosed SEC voluntary request for documents. Although the Company is cooperating with the SEC, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the SEC’s investigation. Any allegations or adverse findings by the SEC could harm our reputation, negatively impact our stock price and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the expense and distraction to management of cooperating with and responding to the SEC could have a material adverse effect on the Company even if the investigation is ultimately closed or resolved in a manner favorable to the Company. See also the risk factor below entitled “We are no longer eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, which could impair our capital-raising activities.”
We derive a significant portion of our revenue from business conducted outside the U.S. and are subject to the risks of doing business outside the U.S.
We face many risks inherent in conducting business activities outside the U.S. that, unless managed properly, may adversely affect our profitability, including our ability to collect amounts due from customers. While most of our operations outside the U.S. are conducted in highly developed countries, our operations could be adversely affected by, among others, the following:
•Unexpected changes in laws, regulations and policies of non-U.S. governments relating to investments and operations, as well as U.S. laws affecting the activities of U.S. companies abroad;
•Changes in regulatory requirements, including export controls, tariffs and embargoes, other trade restrictions, competition, environmental, corporate practices and data privacy concerns;
•Political policies, political or civil unrest, terrorism or epidemics and other similar outbreaks;
•Fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
•Limited protection for the enforcement of contract and intellectual property rights in some countries;
•Difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
•Operating in countries with a higher incidence of corruption and fraudulent business practices;
•Potentially adverse changes in taxation;
•The impact of public health epidemics on employees and the global economy; and
•Other factors, depending upon the specific country in which we conduct business.
These uncertainties may make it difficult for us and our customers to accurately plan future business activities and may lead our customers in certain countries to delay purchases of our products and services. More generally, these geopolitical, social and economic conditions could result in increased volatility in global financial markets and economies.
The consequences of terrorism or armed conflicts are unpredictable, and we may not be able to foresee events that could have an adverse effect on our market opportunities or our business. We are uninsured for losses and interruptions caused by terrorism, acts of war and similar events.
We seek to minimize the risks associated with interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices through regular operating and financing activities. However, our efforts to minimize our exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices may prove to be insufficient or unsuccessful.
We may incur substantial costs enforcing or acquiring intellectual property rights and defending against third-party claims as a result of litigation or other proceedings.
In connection with the enforcement of our own intellectual property rights, the acquisition of third-party intellectual property rights or disputes related to the validity or alleged infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, including patent rights, we have been, and may in the future be, subject to claims, negotiations or complex, protracted litigation. Intellectual property disputes and litigation may be costly and can be disruptive to our business operations by diverting the attention and energy of management and key technical personnel, and by increasing our costs of doing business. Although we have successfully defended or resolved past litigation and disputes, we may not prevail in any ongoing or future litigation and disputes, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Third-party intellectual property claims asserted against us could subject us to significant liabilities, require us to enter into royalty and licensing arrangements on unfavorable terms, prevent us from assembling or licensing certain of our products, subject us to injunctions restricting our sale of products, cause severe disruptions to our operations or the marketplaces in which we compete or require us to satisfy indemnification commitments with our customers, including contractual provisions under various license arrangements. In addition, we may incur significant costs in acquiring the necessary third-party intellectual property rights for use in our products. Any of these could seriously harm our business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition.
We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights and confidential information, including our digital content, from third-party infringers or unauthorized copying, use or disclosure.
Although we defend our intellectual property rights and endeavor to combat unlicensed copying and use of our digital content and intellectual property rights through a variety of techniques, preventing unauthorized use or infringement of our rights (“piracy attacks”) is inherently difficult. If our intellectual property becomes subject to piracy attacks, our business may be harmed.
Additionally, we endeavor to protect the secrecy of our digital content, confidential information and trade secrets. If unauthorized disclosure of our trade secrets occurs, we could potentially lose trade secret protection. The loss of trade secret protection could make it easier for third parties to compete with our products by copying previously confidential features, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, revenue and operating margins. We also seek to protect our confidential information and trade secrets through the use of non-disclosure agreements. However, there is a risk that our confidential information and trade secrets may be disclosed or published without our authorization, and in these situations it may be difficult and/or costly for us to enforce our rights.
Changes in, or interpretation of, tax rules and regulations may impact our effective tax rate and future profitability.
We are a U.S. based, multinational company subject to taxation in multiple U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions. Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in statutory tax rates or interpretation of tax rules and regulations in jurisdictions in which we do business, changes in the amount of revenue or earnings in the countries with varying statutory tax rates, or by changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
In addition, we are subject to audits and examinations of previously filed income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other domestic and foreign tax authorities. We regularly assess the potential impact of such examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and have reserved for potential adjustments that we expect may result from the current examinations. We believe such estimates to be reasonable; however, there is no assurance that the final determination of any examination will not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial position.
Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements not being prevented or detected, which could affect investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial statements and could negatively impact our stock price and financial condition.
As a public company, we are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If we fail to abide by the applicable requirements of Section 404, regulatory authorities, such as the SEC, could subject us to sanctions or investigation, and our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to an audit of our internal controls. Even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. Accordingly, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of their inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, due to the following material weaknesses.
•We did not design and maintain adequate controls within the revenue process that resulted in material weaknesses, either individually or in aggregate. Contract terms, pricing, standalone selling price models, and determination of timing of revenue recognition were not adequately reviewed prior to entry in the Company’s information systems. In addition, we did not effectively implement an accounting system that appropriately captures the allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations to support revenue accounting;
•We did not design and maintain adequate controls over certain assumptions used in the valuation of indefinite-lived intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets related to an impairment charge, that resulted in material weaknesses, either individually or in aggregate;
•We did not design and maintain adequate controls within the financial close and reporting process that resulted in material weaknesses, either individually or in aggregate. We did not maintain comprehensive formal accounting policies. We also did not maintain controls over manual journal entries, balance sheet account reconciliations, and financial statement disclosures. In part due to an inadequate level of review, such reviews were not always performed on a consistent and timely basis; and
•We did not design and maintain adequate controls over the accounting treatment for certain technical matters, including controls related to complex and/or non-routine transactions and arrangements, that resulted in material weaknesses, either individually or in aggregate.
Certain of the material weaknesses described above (items 1 and 2) were initially identified at December 31, 2020 and continued to exist at December 31, 2024. As further described in Item 9A, Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, we began implementing a remediation plan in January 2021 designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting through the development and implementation of more formal policies, processes and documentation procedures relating to our financial reporting, the hiring of additional accounting personnel, and the training of personnel on proper execution of designed control procedures.
While we believe our remediation plans should remediate the material weaknesses, we cannot provide assurance of when the material weaknesses will be remediated, nor can we be certain of whether additional actions will be required or the costs of any such actions. Moreover, we cannot provide assurance that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. While the material weaknesses discussed in Item 9A, "Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting," did not result in material misstatements of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements, any failure to remediate the material weaknesses, or the identification of new material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements that may continue undetected, negatively impacting the public perception of the Company and our securities and cause us to fail to meet our reporting and financial obligations or incur significant additional costs to remediate the material weaknesses, each of which could negatively affect our stock price, harm our ability to raise capital on favorable terms in the future or otherwise have a negative impact on our financial condition.
We are no longer eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, which could impair our capital-raising activities.
As a result of our failure to timely file our 2023 Form 10-K, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 with the SEC, we are no longer eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement. Further, we are also no longer a “well-known seasoned issuer,” as such term is used in the SEC’s regulations, which otherwise would allow us to, among other things, file automatically effective Form S-3 registration statements. Our eligibility to use a Form S-3 registration statement may not be restored until December 1, 2025, and then only if we have not had any other filing delinquency that would preclude Form S-3 eligibility and satisfy all other requirements for Form S-3 eligibility. During any period when we are not eligible to use Form S-3 or qualify as a “well-known seasoned issuer,” our capital-raising ability may be impaired. Under these circumstances, we would be required to conduct the offering on an exempt basis, such as in accordance with Rule 144A, or file a registration statement on Form S-1. Using a Form S-1 registration statement for a public offering would likely take significantly longer than using a registration statement on Form S-3 and increase our transaction costs, and could, to the extent we are not able to conduct offerings using alternative methods, adversely impact our ability to raise capital or complete acquisitions of other companies in a timely manner.

Recent Developments
Fiscal Year 2023 Restructuring Plan
Restructuring Plan Objectives and Status of Execution
In 2023, the Company commenced a multi-faceted restructuring plan (the “2023 Restructuring Plan”) which was intended to improve operating efficiencies throughout the organization and drive long-term value creation. The key initiatives of the plan were announced in 2023 and included:
•improving manufacturing efficiencies related to the Company’s European metal printer operations by (1) in-sourcing certain metal printer platforms into the Company’s Riom, France manufacturing facility and (2) co-locating the engineering and manufacturing of in-sourced metal printer products in order to improve cycle time from development to production;
•reducing headcount throughout all functions and areas of the Company; and
•rationalizing the Company's geographic footprint through the exit of leased facilities.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has completed its in-sourcing activities. Actions taken to reduce headcount under the 2023 Restructuring Plan commenced during the year ended December 31, 2023 and were completed during the year ended December 31, 2024.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, as part of its efforts to rationalize its geographic footprint, the Company began identifying and evaluating opportunities to exit leased facilities, whether by early termination of a lease, non-renewal of a lease, or ceasing use with an intent to sublease a facility. As part of these restructuring efforts, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company (1) partially or fully exited 18 leased facilities that were identified as part of the Company's plan and (2) commenced active marketing efforts to sublease the available space in facilities that were either partially or fully exited, but have a continuing lease. The Company exited one additional lease in the first quarter of 2025, and has now exited all facilities identified as part of its facilities rationalization plan under the 2023 Restructuring Plan.
2023 Restructuring Plan Costs, Cash Settlements and Recognized Liabilities
Headcount Reductions
We incurred a total of $8.2 million in severance and termination benefit costs related to headcount reductions between inception of our 2023 Restructuring Plan and the completion of headcount reductions under the plan during the year ended December 31, 2024. These costs were generally recognized when probable and estimable because they were typically determined consistent with the Company’s past practices or statutory law. Accordingly, a substantial portion of the severance and termination benefit costs attributable to our 2023 Restructuring Plan were recorded during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, while the execution of the headcount reductions and the settlements of the associated costs continued into and throughout our fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, as a result of a decision to continue operating certain facilities (i.e., a change to the original 2023 Restructuring Plan), the Company reduced its accrual for certain severance and termination benefit costs that had previously been recorded to cost of sales. This reduction to the Company's severance and termination benefits accrual was substantially offset by new accruals for incremental headcount reductions that were recorded to selling, general, and administrative expense and research and development expense. Refer to the tables that follow for additional details.
The following table provides details regarding the net severance, termination benefit and other employee costs that were incurred (or reversed) under our 2023 Restructuring Plan and amounts that were settled with cash during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, as well as the related accrued liability balances included in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:
(in thousands) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Balance at beginning of period $ 3,933 $ -
Costs incurred and other adjustments to accrued liability during the period (30) 8,242
Amounts settled with cash (3,416) (4,309)
Balance at the end of period $ 487 $ 3,933
The financial statement impacts of (1) severance, termination benefits and other employee costs that were incurred under our 2023 Restructuring Plan during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and (2) adjustments recorded with respect to the liability recognized under the 2023 Restructuring Plan during the year ended December 31, 2024 are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as follows:
Year Ended

Total cost of sales a

Selling, general and administrative
370 5,598
Research and development
385 1,243
Total
$ (30) $ 8,242
a.Only restructuring costs recorded to cost of sales have been included in our reported segment results, as gross profit is our measure of segment profitability. All severance and termination costs recorded to costs of sales are included in our Healthcare segment and, accordingly, are reflected in the Healthcare segment's reported gross profit. There were no facility termination costs or impairment costs included in the amounts reported for consolidated or segment cost of sales. See Note 21 for the reported gross profit for each of our reportable segments.
Facilities Rationalization
Since inception of the 2023 Restructuring Plan, we have incurred $0.6 million in lease termination costs. During 2023, we recorded $0.6 million in incremental impairment charges related to certain fixed assets that have been retired in connection with the Company’s restructuring. However, since inception of our 2023 Restructuring Plan, with the exception of certain amounts paid to terminate certain leases early, our consolidated financial statements have not reflected material transactions or charges resulting from the decisions to cease the use of facilities for our own operations because the facilities for which we have a continuing leases (and any related assets, as applicable) generally have not yet qualified to be measured for impairment separate from the asset group to which they have historically belonged, which typically occurs when we have entered into a sublease.
Other Strategic Business Decisions and Cost Saving Initiatives
Geomagic
In December 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of its Geomagic software business ("Geomagic"), which is included in our Industrial Solutions segment, to Hexagon AB for $123 million, subject to customary adjustments. The divestiture is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2025, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. The Company determined that the associated assets and liabilities met the held for sale criteria during December 2024. Accordingly, the Company classified $3.2 million of assets and $10.3 million of liabilities as held for sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. No loss was recognized to measure the disposal group at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The disposal group has not been presented as a discontinued operation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because the sale of Geomagic does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations.
Oqton
The Company previously disclosed during the year ended December 31, 2023 that it is more likely than not that Oqton, Inc. ("Oqton") MOS would be sold or otherwise disposed of. In connection with the expectation to sell or otherwise dispose of Oqton MOS, management previously assessed whether the carrying value of this asset group’s long-lived assets was recoverable, and determined that it was not recoverable. As a result, the Company recorded a $13.6 million charge to recognize the full impairment of the asset group's intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2023.
During May 2024, the Company completed the sale of the portion of the Oqton MOS business that was focused on the dental market ("Oqton Dental") in exchange for a de minimis amount of cash, resulting in the transfer of a limited portion of Oqton MOS's personnel and a de minimis amount of fixed assets. The sale of Oqton Dental did not qualify as a discontinued operation, as it did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's overall business operations; however, the transfer of personnel is expected to provide cost savings from the date of the disposal of Oqton Dental. The Company continues to evaluate strategic alternatives related to the remaining portion of Oqton MOS that the Company continues to hold.
2025 Restructuring Plan
In March 2025, the Company authorized the next phase of its multi-faceted cost savings and restructuring initiative (the “2025 Restructuring Plan”). The 2025 Restructuring Plan includes initiatives to deliver sustainable growth and profitability, enabled by a streamlining of both infrastructure and business processes, while consistently investing in core research and development activities to support long-term growth opportunities. The expected annual savings from the 2025 Restructuring Plan are significant and will begin to be realized beginning in the first half of 2025.
Acquisitions/Investments
The Company made the following significant acquisitions and investments during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.
Acquisition of Wematter
In July 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Wematter AB (“Wematter”), a Swedish 3D printer manufacturer, for which post-acquisition results are included in our Industrial Solutions segment. The acquisition broadens 3D Systems’ Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) portfolio. Consideration for this acquisition consisted of approximately $10.2 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The Company also may be required to pay an additional €2.0 million in cash, contingent upon the achievement of certain post-closing performance conditions and the continued employment of certain key employees of Wematter for two years after the closing date of the acquisition. As of December 31, 2024, management does not believe that achievement of the post-closing performance conditions is probable.
Theradaptive, Inc.
In June 2023, we made an $8.0 million investment in Theradaptive, Inc. ("Theradaptive") via the purchase of Series A Preferred Stock. Theradaptive is currently developing a protein that encourages bone growth. This biotechnology could be applied to 3D printed metal splints for patients who otherwise may require amputation of a limb because the lost bone is too vast to replace with a splint. The Company has accounted for its investment in Theradaptive on a cost basis, subject to assessment for impairment, as the fair value of Theradaptive's equity is not readily determinable, and the investment is not subject to the equity method of accounting due to the Company's lack of significant influence.
National Additive Manufacturing Innovation ("NAMI") Joint Venture
In March 2022, the Saudi Arabian Industrial Investments Company (“Dussur”) and 3D Systems signed an agreement to form a joint venture intended to expand the use of additive manufacturing within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and surrounding geographies, including the Middle East and North Africa. The joint venture is to enable the development of Saudi Arabia's domestic additive manufacturing production capabilities, consistent with the Kingdom’s ‘Vision 2030,’ which is focused on diversification of the economy and long-term sustainability. Upon entering into the agreement with Dussur, 3D Systems committed to an initial investment in the joint venture of approximately $6.5 million. In February 2023, the Company became a shareholder in the joint venture and owns 49% of the joint venture's common stock. During April 2023, $3.4 million held in escrow, as well as the additional amount of approximately $3.1 million owed to the joint venture, was deposited into a bank account of the joint venture for use in its operations. In May 2024, the Company and Dussur each made an incremental investment of $2.5 million in the joint venture. During December 2024, the Company entered into a short-term non-interest-bearing loan agreement with NAMI whereby NAMI borrowed $2.0 million to finance its working capital and capital expenditure requirements. Additional future investments in the joint venture are contingent upon agreement by the parties to the joint venture to invest additional capital.
Enhatch Inc.
In March 2022, we made a $10.0 million investment in Enhatch Inc. (“Enhatch”), the developer of the Intelligent Surgery Ecosystem, in exchange for shares of Enhatch convertible preferred stock, a warrant to purchase common shares of Enhatch, and the right to purchase in the future the remaining shares of Enhatch that 3D Systems does not own if certain revenue targets are achieved (the “call option”). We simultaneously entered into a collaboration and supply agreement with Enhatch. Enhatch's Intelligent Surgery Ecosystem provides technologies which streamline and scale the design and delivery of patient-specific medical devices by automating the process. Incorporating these capabilities into 3D Systems’ workflow for patient-specific solutions, which includes advanced software, expert treatment planning services, custom implants, instrumentation design, and industry-leading production processes, will help more efficiently meet the growing demand for personalized medical devices.
In December 2024, the Company entered into an amended and restated warrant agreement with Enhatch which restated the terms of the warrant received in connection with the Company's March 2022 investment in their entirety by increasing the number of Enhatch common shares that may be purchased, decreasing the exercise price, modifying the exercise conditions, eliminating the net settlement feature, and accelerating the expiration date to June 1, 2025. In December 2024 and January 2025, the Company exercised the first tranche of the warrant for $0.6 million in cash and the second tranche of the warrant for $0.6 million in cash, respectively. The Company initially measured and recorded the Enhatch common shares purchased upon the exercise of the first and second tranche of the warrant at their estimated acquisition date fair values. Effective upon the exercise of the first tranche of the amended and restated warrant agreement in December 2024, due to the Company's ability to exert significant influence over the financial and operating policies of Enhatch, the Company began accounting for its investment in Enhatch common shares under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company is required to recognize its proportionate share of Enhatch's reported net income or loss, which the Company recognizes on a one quarter lag. If the remaining underlying exercise conditions of the warrant are achieved, the Company may be required to pay up to an additional $0.9 million of cash to purchase Enhatch common shares prior to the warrant expiration on June 1, 2025.
Investing in Regenerative Medicine
Within our Healthcare Solutions segment, a portion of our business focuses on opportunities for additive manufacturing to be applied to regenerative medicine. To date, our efforts in the area of regenerative medicine have consisted primarily of pre-commercial bio-technology research and development (“R&D”) in the areas described below.
Our first area of focus is the use of additive manufacturing for human organ transplantation, with a long-term goal of helping patients with end-stage disease receive transplants that will enable them to enjoy long and active lives. This program combines our 3D printing expertise and capabilities in human tissue engineering with the regenerative medicine and biotechnology expertise of a key strategic partner. Through the start of 2024, our program focused on developing the capability to print organ scaffolds for human lungs, kidneys and livers. However, beginning in the first quarter of 2024, due to changes to our arrangement with and funding from our key strategic partner, the Company’s continuing organ program shifted its focus to developing the capability to print human lung scaffolds, for which the related R&D efforts will continue to be primarily funded by our key strategic partner.
Our second area of focus seeks to utilize our bio-printing capabilities to design and manufacture 3D-printed vascularized “organs-on-chips” for use in drug development by pharmaceutical industry customers through our wholly-owned biotech company, Systemic Bio. We believe that “organs-on-chips” can accelerate the drug development process and reduce the cost of pre-clinical drug testing, as well as reduce the pharmaceutical industry’s reliance on animal testing. Systemic Bio combines 3D Systems’ legacy expertise in high-resolution 3D printing with advanced capabilities in bioprinting and biomaterials to design and market 3D-printed, vascularized “organs-on-chips”. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Systemic Bio entered into its first commercial contracts with pharmaceutical industry customers.
Background
We earn revenue from the sale of products and services through our Healthcare Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments. The product categories include 3D printers and corresponding materials, digitizers, software licenses, 3D scanners and haptic devices. The majority of materials used in our 3D printers are proprietary. The services categories include maintenance contracts and services on 3D printers, software maintenance, software as a service subscriptions and healthcare solutions services.
Given the relatively high price of certain 3D printers and a corresponding lengthy selling cycle, as well as relatively low unit volume of the higher-priced printers in any particular period, a shift in the timing and concentration of orders and shipments from one period to another can materially affect reported revenue in any given period.
In addition to changes in sales volumes, there are two other primary drivers of changes in revenue from one period to another: (1) the combined effect of changes in product mix and average selling prices and (2) the impact of fluctuations in foreign currencies. As used in this MD&A, the price and mix effects relate to changes in revenue that are not able to be specifically attributed to changes in unit volume or changes in foreign exchange rates.

Products revenue
For the year ended December 31, 2024, products revenue decreased by $49.6 million, or 15.1%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Industrial Solutions products revenue decreased $31.7 million primarily due to lower sales volume. The decrease in products sales volumes in our Industrial Solutions segment was reflective of lower materials sales to customers in the service bureaus and jewelry markets and lower printer sales to customers in the consumer auto and academic markets.
Healthcare Solutions products revenue decreased by $17.9 million, or 14.4% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to a decline in printer sales volume in the dental market, including lower printer sales to a key customer, and unfavorable price/mix due to a significant increase in the volume of material sales to our key customer in the dental industry at lower pricing. These declines were partially offset by an overall increase in materials sales volumes.
Services revenue
For the year ended December 31, 2024, services revenue increased by $1.6 million, or 1.0%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Higher sales volume resulted in an increase of $10.8 million, which was partially offset by an $8.7 million reversal of revenue in the year ended December 31, 2024 due to a change in estimate under a collaboration arrangement in the Healthcare Solutions segment as discussed below. Services revenue increased $7.2 million in our Industrial Solutions segment, which was partially offset by a decline of $5.6 million in our Healthcare Solutions segment.
The volume increase in our Healthcare Solutions services revenue was due to higher personalized healthcare solutions revenue and printer service maintenance agreements of $3.2 million. The volume increase in our Healthcare Solutions services revenue was more than offset by an $8.7 million reversal of revenue in the year ended December 31, 2024 due to a cumulative catch-up adjustment under a collaboration arrangement as the Company determined that incremental revenue attributable to milestone payments that are contingent upon the achievement of contractual development criteria are no longer probable of being earned.
The volume increase in our Industrial Solutions services revenue was primarily related to increases in revenue generated from parts manufacturing and hardware maintenance services.
Total revenue
Total consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by $47.9 million, or 9.8%, to $440.1 million, compared to $488.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by the $31.7 million impact of lower products sales volumes and the $17.0 million unfavorable impact of price/mix on products revenue, which was partially offset by the $2.1 million impact of the increase in services revenue. Refer to the detailed discussions above.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased $32.2 million, or 16.4%, to $164.2 million, compared to $196.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased to 37.3%, as compared to 40.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by the decrease in both our products and services gross profit margin (as discussed in greater detail below).
Products gross profit and gross profit margin
For the year ended December 31, 2024, gross profit from products sales decreased by $22.2 million, or 17.7%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The most significant contributors to the decrease in our products gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 were (1) a $6.0 million increase in the provision recorded for inventory obsolescence during the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, (2) lower sales volume and (3) unfavorable manufacturing variances.
Services gross profit and gross profit margin
For the year ended December 31, 2024, gross profit from services sales decreased $10.1 million, or 14.2%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in services gross profit was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue recognized under a collaboration arrangement as the Company determined that incremental revenue attributable to milestone payments that are contingent upon the achievement of contractual development criteria are no longer probable of being earned. As there was no direct cost associated with the milestone revenue under the collaboration arrangement; therefore, the entire $8.7 million reversal of revenue in the year ended December 31, 2024 contributed to a decrease in our reported gross profit.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased $0.1 million to $210.1 million, compared to $210.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The primary drivers of the $0.1 million decrease in SG&A expense are as follows:

Volumetric earnout
Prior to the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had been accruing for a $65 million potential earnout payment (compensation expense) because the Company had concluded that a non-financial, scientific milestone included in the acquisition agreement related to the Company's December 2021 acquisition of Volumetric was probable of achievement. However, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company concluded that this non-financial, scientific milestone was no longer probable of achievement given a reduction in the budgeted funding for the related R&D efforts. As a result, the Company reversed all of the previously recognized earnout expense related to the milestone during the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company did not recognize any earnout expense related to the milestone during the year ended December 31, 2024, and as a result of events that have occurred during the year, the Company notified the sellers of Volumetric that they are no longer eligible to earn any of the milestone-based earnout payments contemplated in the Volumetric acquisition agreement. Refer to the discussions in Note 17 and Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding the Company's cancellations of the Volumetric sellers' rights to future earnout payments, as well as actions taken in response to these cancellations.
Compensation and benefits
Compensation and benefits costs decreased by $20.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by a $13.7 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense (excluding the Volumetric earnout expense subject to settlement in shares of our common stock and discussed above), and a $5.1 million decrease in severance expense. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 is primarily due to (1) the delayed grant of fiscal year 2024 annual share-based payment awards under the Company's 2015 Incentive Plan until September and October of 2024, as compared to fiscal year 2023 annual share-based payment award grants occurring in April 2023, and (2) a decrease in the overall grant date fair value of 2024 annual share-based payment awards under the Company's 2015 Incentive Plan, as compared to previous years' awards that vested during or before the year ended December 31, 2024.
Severance expense decreased by $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 due to higher severance and termination benefit costs that were recorded to SG&A expense during the year ended December 31, 2023 in connection with our 2023 Restructuring Plan. Under our 2023 Restructuring Plan, employee severance and termination benefit costs generally were recognized when probable and estimable because they are typically being determined consistent with the Company’s past practices or statutory law. Furthermore, the classification of these severance and termination benefit costs in our consolidated statements of operations is based upon the classification of the ordinary compensation expense attributable to the impacted employees.
Audit, legal and third-party consulting costs
Audit, legal and third-party consulting costs increased $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, due to the significant increases in the cost to complete our fiscal year 2023 audit, including costs paid to our former independent registered public accounting firm and third-party accounting and finance consulting support costs. The increases in audit and third-party consulting costs were partially offset by lower acquisition-related legal costs as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
Consolidated research and development expense
R&D expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased $3.0 million, or 3.3%, to $86.5 million, as compared to $89.5 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily driven by a $3.9 million decrease in employee compensation and benefit costs, a $1.9 million decrease in materials costs and a $0.6 million decrease in external workforce cost. These decreases were partially offset by a $3.8 million increase in R&D expense related to the Company's discontinued kidney and liver regenerative medicine program.
Asset impairment charges
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded aggregate impairment charges of $145.0 million related to intangible assets (inclusive of goodwill) and tangible assets as compared to $302.8 million in impairment charges recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023. The following table summarizes the impairment charges recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Impairment charges recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024
As a result of the significant decline in the trading price of our common stock and our market capitalization during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as well as reduced long-term cash flow forecasts prepared in connection with the Company's long-range planning process, the Company concluded that the performance of an interim period goodwill impairment test was required as of September 30, 2024. Upon completion of this interim period goodwill impairment test, the Company concluded that the carrying value of the Healthcare Solutions reporting unit exceeded its fair value by $101.4 million and recognized this amount within asset impairment charges on our consolidated statement of operations.
In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company concluded that there were indicators that the primary asset group underlying the Company's core operations should be tested for recoverability based on reported losses and negative cash flows for both current and historical reporting periods, combined with the significant decline in the Company's stock price during the period. Upon assessing this asset group for recoverability, the Company concluded that the asset group's carrying value exceeded the undiscounted cash flows that the asset group was expected to generate over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset group's primary asset, which was deemed to be acquired technology. Accordingly, the Company further tested this asset group for impairment as of September 30, 2024. As a result of concluding that the carrying value of the primary asset group underlying the Company's core operations exceeded the fair value of the asset group as of September 30, 2024, the Company recorded an aggregate impairment loss of $42.3 million within asset impairment charges on our consolidated statement of operations. After consideration of the relative carrying values of the long-lived assets comprising this asset group, as well as the long-lived asset fair values below which asset carrying amounts should not be impaired, the Company recorded impairment charges of $31.2 million, $5.9 million, and $5.2 million (representing the allocation of the aggregate impairment charge of $42.3 million) to intangible assets; property and equipment; and right-of-use assets, respectively. An additional intangible asset impairment charge of $1.2 million was recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2024.
Impairment charges recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023
The $279.8 million goodwill impairment charge recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023 reflected the impairment of goodwill that had been assigned to our Industrial Solutions reporting unit based upon the result of our annual goodwill impairment test. This outcome of our annual goodwill impairment test reflected the significant and sustained drop in the Company's stock price and market capitalization leading up to and as of the testing date, as well as the significantly higher carrying value (including the goodwill balance) of our Industrial Solutions reporting unit compared to our Healthcare Solutions reporting unit. Refer to Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional details on the 2024 and 2023 impairment charges.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized impairment charges related to (1) our indefinite-life intangible asset balance, consisting solely of dp polar's IPR&D, and (2) certain of our finite-life intangible assets, consisting of intangible assets included in our Oqton MOS and dp polar asset groups. These impairment charges were triggered by the Company's decision to cease the development of dp polar's IPR&D for the foreseeable future and the Company's conclusion that it would more likely than not sell or otherwise dispose of Oqton MOS. Based upon a determination that the dp polar and Oqton MOS intangible assets were no longer expected to produce or contribute to the production of positive cash flows for the Company, the Company recorded impairment charges to write their carrying values down to $0. Refer to our discussion of "Other Strategic Business Decisions and Cost Saving Initiatives" and Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional details.
Consolidated operating loss
Our operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $277.4 million, compared to a $406.0 million operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in our operating loss was primarily attributable to a decrease in non-cash impairment charges of $157.8 million, which was partially offset by a $32.2 million decrease in gross profit. Refer to the discussions of our financial statement line items above for additional details.
Non-Operating Income for the Year Ended December 31, 2024 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2023

Total non-operating income
$ 27,404 $ 43,692
Foreign exchange gain (loss), net
Foreign exchange gain (loss), net increased $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to realized and unrealized gains related to our foreign operations.
Interest income
For the year ended December 31, 2024, interest income decreased as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 due to the Company's lower cash and cash equivalent balances during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Interest expense
For the year ended December 31, 2024, interest expense decreased due to the Company's repurchases of debt in December 2023 and March 2024. In connection with each of these repurchases of debt, the Company wrote off a portion of the unamortized debt issuance costs, which resulted in lower amortization of debt issuance costs within interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Other income, net
For the year ended December 31, 2024, other income, net, decreased $12.1 million primarily due to the recognition of a $21.5 million gain on the extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the recognition of a $32.2 million gain on the extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2023.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we reported income tax expense of $2.2 million, as compared to an income tax benefit of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company's effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were significantly below blended U.S. and foreign jurisdictions' statutory tax rates due to (1) the Company's reported losses and (2) the maintenance of a valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets based upon the Company's conclusion that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized in various tax jurisdictions.
The decrease in the net loss attributable to 3D Systems for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the net loss attributable to 3D Systems for the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily driven by the period-over period decrease in the Company's consolidated operating loss reported for the year ended December 31, 2024, partially offset by lower non-operating income reported for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. In addition, the Company reported a $3.4 million loss on equity method investment, net of income taxes, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to a $1.3 million loss on equity method investment for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Healthcare Solutions
Revenue
For the year ended December 31, 2024, Healthcare Solutions revenue decreased $23.5 million, or 11.0%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease in segment revenue was primarily due to a decrease in products revenue of $17.9 million, primarily reflective of our lower sales to the dental market, but also inclusive of lower printer sales to customers in the medical devices and other non-dental markets. Service revenue was down $5.6 million driven by a decrease in the estimated recognizable variable consideration related to a collaboration agreement which was partially offset by higher personalized healthcare solutions revenue and printer service maintenance agreements.
Gross Profit
For the year ended December 31, 2024, gross profit for our Healthcare Solutions segment decreased $11.7 million, or 13.7%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to (1) a decrease in the estimated recognizable variable consideration related to a collaboration arrangement (2) our lower sales to the dental market, including the segment's lower printer sales to a key customer, (3) the decrease in products revenue from other markets, and (4) unfavorable price/mix on the segment's products revenue, which was partially offset by increases in materials revenue in the dental market and increases in services revenue.
Industrial Solutions
Revenue
For the year ended December 31, 2024, Industrial Solutions revenue decreased $24.5 million, or 8.9%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a $31.7 million decrease in products revenue reflective of lower materials sales to customers in the service bureaus and jewelry markets and lower printer sales to customers in the consumer auto and academic markets, which were partially offset by the favorable impact of price/mix primarily related to materials sales. The decrease in products revenue was partially offset by a $7.2 million increase in services revenue related to parts manufacturing and hardware maintenance services.
Gross Profit
For the year ended December 31, 2024, gross profit for our Industrial Solutions segment decreased $20.6 million, or 18.5%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, which was primarily driven by the unfavorable impact of volume on products revenue, partially offset by the increase in services revenue.
Segment Financial Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
The following table presents the revenue and gross profit amounts reported by each of our segments for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Healthcare Solutions
Revenue
For the year ended December 31, 2023, Healthcare Solutions revenue decreased $47.8 million, or 18.3%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. This decrease in segment revenue was primarily due to a $48.2 million, or 31.9%, decrease in sales to the dental market, including lower printer sales to a key customer. Total product revenue for the segment decreased by $55.6 million, primarily reflective of our lower sales to the dental market, but also inclusive of lower printer sales to customers in the medical devices and other non-dental markets.
The decrease in product sales for the segment was partially offset by a $7.8 million increase in services revenue for the segment. The increase in services revenue was partially driven by the recognition of incremental variable consideration revenue, inclusive of a $4.5 million cumulative catch-up adjustment, that related directly to the inclusion of $6.5 million of additional milestone payments (representing variable consideration) in the total transaction price of a regenerative medicine collaboration and licensing revenue agreement during the year ended December 31, 2023. The additional milestone-based payments were deemed probable of being earned under revised contract terms that took effect upon the execution of an amendment to the collaboration and licensing revenue agreement during the year ended December 31, 2023. Our Healthcare Solutions' services revenue also increased due to higher personalized healthcare solutions revenue.
Gross Profit
For the year ended December 31, 2023, gross profit for our Healthcare Solutions segment decreased $13.6 million, or 13.8%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to lower sales to the dental market, including lower printer sales to a key customer, and the decrease in products sales into other markets. This was partially offset by the increase in our services revenue which includes $4.5 million of incremental variable consideration revenue recognized by our Healthcare Solutions segment on a cumulative catch-up basis, upon concluding that additional milestone-based payments related to a collaboration and licensing revenue agreement were probable of being earned. As there were no direct costs (e.g., costs of goods sold) associated with this incremental collaboration and licensing revenue, the entire $4.5 million contributed to an increase in our reported gross profit
Industrial Solutions
Revenue
For the year ended December 31, 2023, Industrial Solutions revenue decreased $2.2 million, or 0.8%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. This decrease in segment revenue is primarily attributable to a $11.1 million decrease in products revenue reflective of (1) lower printer sales to customers in the jewelry market, resulting from a delay in the Company's release of a new printer model, and (2) an unfavorable impact of price/mix, primarily due to discounted pricing on certain product classes in response to competition and to increase future revenue. The decrease in product revenue was partially offset by an $8.9 million increase in services revenue related to parts manufacturing and hardware maintenance services.
Gross Profit
For the year ended December 31, 2023, gross profit for our Industrial Solutions segment decreased $4.2 million, or 3.6%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, which was primarily driven by lower printer sales volume and unfavorable price/mix on products revenue, partially offset by the increase in services revenue.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table sets forth the Company's operating working capital at December 31, 2024, and 2023.
Change
(Dollars in thousands) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 $ %

Operating working capital $ 294,490 $ 476,069 $ (181,579) (38.1) %
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. In doing so, we review and analyze our current cash on hand, the number of days our sales are outstanding, inventory turns, capital expenditure commitments and accounts payable turns. Our cash requirements, excluding acquisitions, primarily consist of funding working capital and capital expenditures. Differences between the amounts of working capital item changes in the cash flow statement and the balance sheet changes for the corresponding items are primarily the result of foreign currency translation adjustments.
At December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $171.3 million and decreased $160.2 million since December 31, 2023. This decrease resulted primarily from the use of $87.2 million for the early extinguishment of long-term debt, cash used in operations of $44.9 million, acquisitions and other investments, net of cash acquired of $3.0 million, and capital expenditures of $16.1 million.
Cash held outside the U.S. at December 31, 2024 was $63.8 million, or 37.3%, of total cash and cash equivalents, compared to $65.8 million, or 19.8%, of total cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2023. As our previously unremitted earnings have been subjected to U.S. federal income tax, we expect any repatriation of these earnings to the U.S. would not incur significant federal and state taxes. However, these dividends are subject to foreign withholding taxes that are estimated to result in the Company incurring tax costs in excess of the cost to obtain cash through other means. Cash equivalents are comprised of funds held in money market instruments and are reported at their current carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. We strive to minimize our credit risk by investing primarily in investment grade, liquid instruments and limit exposure to any one issuer depending upon credit quality. See “Cash flow” discussion below.
Cash flow
The Company currently funds its operations, including working capital requirements, capital expenditures and investments by using cash on hand; cash equivalents; cash flow from operations, which can vary widely from quarter to quarter; and financing activities, as necessary. We expect that cash flow from operations, cash and cash equivalents, and other sources of liquidity, such as issuing equity or debt securities, subject to market conditions, will be available and sufficient to meet all foreseeable cash requirements. The following is a summary of the changes in the Company’s cash flows, followed by a brief discussion of these changes:
Year Ended
(in thousands) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Change
Net cash used in operating activities
$ (44,887) $ (80,695) $ 35,808
Cash flow (used in) provided by investing activities
(19,025) 124,784 (143,809)
Cash flow used in financing activities (91,265) (106,469) 15,204
Cash flow from operations
For the year ended December 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $44.9 million compared to $80.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The $35.8 million decrease in cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2024 is primarily due to $15.8 million of cash generated during the year ended December 31, 2024 relating to the Company's efforts to reduce its inventory, as compared to $20.6 million of cash used during the year ended December 31, 2023 as a result of an increase in the Company's inventory on-hand related to the Company's decision to in-source activities from contract manufacturers. Cash flow from operations was also positively impacted by general improvements in working capital management.
Cash flow from investing activities
For the year ended December 31, 2024, cash used in investing activities was $19.0 million compared to $124.8 million of cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023. The investing cash outflows in 2024 included cash used for long-term investments of $3.0 million and capital expenditures of $16.1 million.
The investing cash inflows in 2023 included sales and maturities of short-term investments of $180.9 million, offset by cash used for acquisitions of $29.2 million and capital expenditures of $27.2 million.
Cash flow from financing activities
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the cash flow used in financing activities was $91.3 million primarily due to the use of $87.2 million for the early extinguishment of long-term debt and taxes paid related to the net-share settlement of equity awards of $2.7 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the cash flow used in financing activities was $106.5 million primarily due to the use of $100.6 million for the extinguishment of long-term debt and taxes paid related to the net-share settlement of equity awards of $5.2 million.
Material Cash Requirements
The Company's material cash requirements consist of the following contractual commitments and other obligations:
Indebtedness
At December 31, 2024, we had $214.4 million of outstanding 0% convertible notes which mature in November of 2026. Management may consider pursuing additional long-term financing when it is appropriate in light of cash requirements for operations or other strategic opportunities, which could result in higher financing costs. As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants of the outstanding 0% convertible notes due November 2026.
Purchase Commitments
We have purchase commitments under legally enforceable agreements for goods and services with defined terms as to quantity, price and timing of delivery. The Company has purchase commitments in excess of a year primarily related to printer assemblies, inventory, capital expenditures, and software licenses. As of December 31, 2024, such purchase commitments totaled $15.4 million, with $9.3 million expected to be purchased within the next twelve months.
Leases
The Company had operating and financing lease obligations (inclusive of interest) of $97.6 million at December 31, 2024, primarily related to real estate and equipment leases, of which approximately $15.9 million in payments are expected over the next twelve months. For more information on the Company's leases, refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
National Additive Manufacturing Innovation ("NAMI") Joint Venture
In March 2022, Dussur and 3D Systems signed an agreement to form a joint venture intended to expand the use of additive manufacturing within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and surrounding geographies, including the Middle East and North Africa. The joint venture is to enable the development of Saudi Arabia's domestic additive manufacturing production capabilities, consistent with the Kingdom’s ‘Vision 2030,’ which is focused on diversification of the economy and long-term sustainability. In February 2023, the Company became a shareholder in the joint venture and now owns 49% of its common stock. 3D Systems was committed to an initial investment of approximately $6.5 million of cash into the joint venture, all of which was funded as of December 31, 2023. In May 2024, the Company and Dussur each made an incremental investment of $2.5 million in the joint venture. In December 2024, the Company, along with the majority shareholder, signed a Shareholder Resolution agreeing to continue to support the ongoing business of NAMI for at least the next twelve months. The Company does not expect to make an additional capital contribution in 2025.
The Company accounts for the joint venture under the equity method of accounting, which requires the Company to recognize its proportionate share of the joint venture's reported net income or loss. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company reported a loss on equity method investment in its consolidated statements of operations. The carrying values of the Company's equity method investment at December 31, 2024 and 2023 are $4.3 million and $5.2 million, respectively. During December 2024, the Company entered into a short-term, non-interest bearing loan agreement with NAMI whereby NAMI borrowed $2.0 million to finance its working capital and capital expenditures requirements. The loan matures on June 30, 2025 and is being accounted for at cost, which approximates fair value as of December 31, 2024. During December 2024, NAMI used the loan proceeds to remit payment to the Company for trade receivables outstanding.
Enhatch Inc.
In December 2024, the Company entered into an amended and restated warrant agreement with Enhatch that restated the terms of the original warrant in their entirety by increasing the number of Enhatch common shares that may be purchased, decreasing the exercise price, modifying the exercise conditions, eliminating the net settlement feature, and changing the expiration date to June 1, 2025. In December 2024 and January 2025, the Company exercised the first tranche of the warrant for $0.6 million in cash and the second tranche of the warrant for $0.6 million in cash, respectively. If the underlying exercise conditions are achieved, the Company may be required to pay up to an additional $0.9 million of cash to purchase Enhatch common shares prior to the warrant expiration on June 1, 2025.
Sources of Funding to Satisfy Material Cash Requirements
The Company believes that it has the financial resources needed to meet its cash requirements during the next twelve months. Cash requirements for periods beyond the next twelve months will depend on, among other things, the Company’s profitability and its ability to manage working capital requirements.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business we periodically enter into agreements to indemnify customers or suppliers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of our products. Historically, costs related to these indemnification provisions have not been significant. We are unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on our future results of operations.
To the extent permitted under Delaware law, we indemnify our directors and officers for certain events or occurrences, when the director or officer is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity, subject to limited exceptions. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification obligations is unlimited; however, we have directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage that may enable us to recover future amounts paid, subject to a deductible and to the policy limits. There is no assurance that the policy limits will be sufficient to cover all damages, if any.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). In doing so, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts we reported as assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, gains and losses, as well as related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. In some cases, we reasonably could have applied different estimates or assumptions and changes in our accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between our estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations will be affected. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. We refer to accounting estimates of this type as critical accounting estimates, which we discuss further below. We have reviewed our critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for a summary of our significant accounting policies.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized for the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for products or services when control of those promised products or services is transferred to customers, which generally occurs when the goods have been shipped or delivered to the customer, risk of loss has transferred to the customer, and we have a present right to payment.
We enter into contracts that include various combinations of products and services that are generally capable of being distinct and are accounted for as separate performance obligations. For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation in a contract. In some instances, we estimate SSP using historical transaction data. We use a range of amounts to estimate SSP when we sell each of the products and services separately and need to determine whether there is a discount to be allocated based on the relative SSP of the various products and services. In other instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when the product or service is not sold separately, we determine the SSP using information that may include market conditions, expected cost plus margin and other observable inputs.
In some circumstances, we have more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers, geographic region or other factors. In these instances, we may use information such as the size of the customer and geographic region in determining the SSP. The determination of SSP is an ongoing process, and information is reviewed regularly in order to ensure SSP reflects the most current information or trends.
The nature of our sales and marketing incentives may lead to consideration that is variable in the form of discounts based on volumes purchased, trade in allowances, rebates or other discounts. We estimate variable consideration based on the expected value approach, which required judgment in the identification of possible outcomes and in assessing the probability of those outcomes, or the most likely amount approach, which required judgement to identify the most likely amount in a range of amounts. Our estimates are based on historical experience, contract terms and other factors. Ongoing assessments are performed to determine if updates are needed to the original estimates.
We enter into collaboration arrangements that we may be required to account for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers," because our collaboration partner meets the definition of a customer. When these arrangements provide an opportunity for the Company to earn milestone payments based upon the achievement of agreed-upon contract objectives, we must assess if and when it is appropriate to include those milestone payments, which represent variable consideration, in the contract's transaction price. This assessment, which impacts the timing and the amount of revenue recognized under a collaboration arrangement accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, requires management to conclude that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized with respect to a collaboration agreement will not occur as a result of including one or more milestone payments in the arrangement's transaction price, including when any uncertainty associated with the achievement of such milestones is ultimately resolved. The evaluation of when it is appropriate to include amounts earned upon the achievement of milestones in a contract's transaction price requires the application of significant assumptions and judgments, which management reassesses at the end of each reporting period.
See Note 2 and Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Allowance for credit losses
In evaluating the collectability of our accounts receivable, we assess a number of factors, including specific customers’ abilities to meet their financial obligations to us, the length of time receivables are past due, historical collection experience, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Based on these assessments, we may record a reserve for specific customers, as well as establish an allowance for expected credit losses related to our accounts receivable as a whole. If circumstances related to specific customers change, or economic conditions deteriorate such that our past collection experience is no longer relevant, our estimate of the recoverability of our accounts receivable could be further reduced from the levels provided for in the consolidated financial statements.
We evaluate specific accounts for which we believe a customer may have an inability to meet their financial obligations (for example, aging over 90 days past due or bankruptcy). In these cases, we use our judgment, based on available facts and circumstances, and record a specific reserve for that customer to reduce the receivable to an amount we expect to collect. These specific reserves are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received that impacts the amount reserved.
Income taxes
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes.
Although we believe we have adequately reserved for our uncertain tax positions, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rate in the period in which such determination is made.
The provision for income taxes includes the effect of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate, as well as the related net interest and penalties. In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities which may assert assessments against us. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations and assessments to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.
See Note 2 and Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined using standard costing, which approximates the first-in, first-out method.
The inventory reserve is a critical estimate as there is rapid technological change in our industry impacting the market for our products, and there is significant judgment in estimating the amount of spare parts to keep on hand to service previously sold printers for periods of up to 10 or more years.
See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Business combinations and purchase accounting
We apply purchase accounting to transactions that meet the definition of business combinations. When applying purchase accounting, we are required to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination as of the acquisition date, for which the Company engages a third-party valuation specialist to assist. The application of purchase price accounting oftentimes results in the identification and valuation of intangible assets that may not have been previously recognized on the balance sheet of the acquired company. The amount of purchase price paid in excess of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
The fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities are estimated in accordance with accounting standards which define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Management must apply judgment when identifying the intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, as well as when determining the appropriate valuation technique to be applied to all acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Management also must make significant estimates and assumptions when determining the inputs for inclusion in the related valuation models. The fair values of the net assets acquired are determined primarily using Level 3 inputs (inputs that are unobservable to the marketplace participant).
The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the determination of (1) the fair values of identified intangible assets (e.g., developed technology and trade names) and (2) the period and pattern of amortization for intangible assets that are assigned a definite life. The fair values of acquired intangible assets primarily have been determined based on projected cash flows attributable to the operations of the acquiree. The projected cash flows include various assumptions, including estimated revenue growth rates, operating margins, R&D expenditures, capital expenditures, royalty rates, and appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates used to discount the projected cash flows. The usage of different assumptions would result in the assignment of different fair values to the acquired identifiable intangible assets and, accordingly, also impact the amount of purchase consideration assigned to goodwill. Similarly, changes in the planned usage of the acquired identifiable intangible assets and/or their estimated economic lives, if any, could impact the recoverability of the assets and/or amortization period and expense attributable to the assets in the future.
Goodwill & other long-lived assets, including intangible assets
Long-lived assets, including intangible assets
We review long-lived assets (or asset groups), including intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of assets (or asset groups) held for use based upon a review of undiscounted projected cash flows. Impairment losses, where identified, are measured as the excess of the carrying value of a long-lived asset (or asset group) over its estimated fair value, as determined using discounted projected cash flows. Our estimation of discounted projected cash flows requires us to make certain assumptions, including long-term revenue and expense forecasts, profit margins, discount rates and terminal growth rates.
See Note 2, Note 7, Note 8 and Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for discussion of the long-lived asset impairment charges recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the amount by which the purchase price paid to consummate a business combination exceeds the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination. Goodwill is required to be assigned to a reporting unit for purposes of subsequent measurement and, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, all of our reported goodwill was assigned to our Healthcare reporting unit.
We assess goodwill for impairment at least annually and, between annual impairment assessments, when circumstances indicate that there is a likelihood of greater than 50% that the carrying value of a reporting unit, inclusive of any assigned goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. On a forward-looking basis, such circumstances may include (1) a significant and sustained decrease in the trading price or our common stock that may suggest that the fair value of the Company and, accordingly, the fair value of our Healthcare reporting unit has declined, (2) a significant adverse change in the business climate for our Healthcare reporting unit, (3) a significant adverse change in the performance of our Healthcare reporting unit and/or (4) a decision to dispose of a significant portion of our Healthcare reporting unit.
When required to be performed, a quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the carrying value of a reporting unit to its fair value, and a goodwill impairment charge results when the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. The performance of a quantitative goodwill impairment test requires management to apply significant estimates and judgment - particularly to (1) estimate the fair value of the Company and each of our reporting units and (2) determine the carrying value of each of our reporting units, since we do not maintain separate balance sheets for our reporting units.
We estimate the fair value of our reporting units based primarily upon discounted cash flow projections for their underlying operations, which requires us to make significant assumptions regarding estimated cash flows, including long-term revenue and expense forecasts, profit margins, discount rates and terminal growth rates. We develop these assumptions based on the market risks unique to each reporting unit. In addition to the use of discounted cash flow projections, when appropriate, our estimates of the fair values of our reporting units include the results of applying the guideline company valuation method, which is a market approach. The application of the guideline company valuation method requires us to make judgments regarding (1) the appropriate set of comparable publicly traded guideline peer companies for which observable market multiples should be considered and (2) the appropriate multiple(s) to select from the range of multiples that may be observed for those guideline companies. We separately use reasonable and consistent allocation methodologies and approaches to allocate asset and liability balances to our reporting units when an account balance is not directly attributable to a specific reporting unit.
As a result of the goodwill impairment charge recognized in connection with our quantitative interim period goodwill impairment test performed as of September 30, 2024, the carrying value of our Healthcare reporting unit was reduced to equal the fair value of the reporting unit as of such date. Accordingly, the remaining goodwill assigned to our Healthcare reporting unit could become subject to additional impairment upon any decrease in the estimated fair value of the Healthcare reporting unit or any increase in the estimated carrying value of the Healthcare reporting unit. Factors that could result in a decrease in the estimated fair value of the Healthcare reporting unit include, but are not limited to, (1) failure to achieve the forecasted operating results and/or cash flows reflected in the projections utilized for purposes of the September 30, 2024 interim period goodwill impairment test, (2) a downward revision to the cash flows forecasted for future reporting periods, (3) an increase in the discount rate applied to forecasted cash flows due to changes in factors such as market interest rates or the selected company-specific risk premium, (4) a change in the estimated terminal growth rate for our Healthcare reporting unit, and/or (5) changes in observable market multiples for comparable publicly traded guideline peer companies. Due to (A) both the nature of and extensive period of time covered by the cash flow projections developed for purposes of our September 30, 2024 goodwill impairment test and (B) the use of market information as of a point in time to derive other key assumptions required for our September 30, 2024 goodwill impairment test, there is inherent uncertainty and risk in the underlying estimates, assumptions, and judgments that were utilized to estimate the fair value of our Healthcare reporting unit as of September 30, 2024. Accordingly, over time, the key estimates, assumptions, and judgments that were used to estimate the fair value of our Healthcare reporting unit may change due to factors such as changes in market conditions and/or the actual performance of our Healthcare reporting unit. Similarly, over time, the carrying value of our Healthcare reporting unit could increase due to factors such as capital expenditures and/or the composition of the assets and liabilities of the Company and the underlying process and estimates required to allocate assets and liabilities that are not directly attributable to a specific reporting unit between/amongst our reporting units. Any unfavorable changes to the key estimates, assumptions, judgments or inputs utilized in our most recent quantitative goodwill impairment - either on an individual basis or in the aggregate - could result in the recognition of additional impairment charges in the future.
See Note 2 and Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for discussion of the goodwill impairment charges recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Our annual goodwill impairment test performed for the year ended December 31, 2022 did not result in the recognition of a goodwill impairment charge.
Regenerative medicine earnout payments and performance-based stock units
Upon acquiring Volumetric on December 1, 2021, the Company became subject to potential aggregate acquisition-related earnout payments of up to $355.0 million that would be due to Volumetric’s former owners (“Sellers”) if seven individually assessed non-financial milestones were achieved. Each of the seven non-financial milestones, which individually triggered a specific earnout payment if achieved prior to an agreed upon date of either December 31, 2030 or December 31, 2035, was based upon specific advances in regenerative medicine related to lungs or tissue organs. For each milestone, payment was only due to the extent that the Sellers continue to be employed by the Company at the time that a milestone was achieved. As the earnout payments require the continued employment of Volumetric’s Sellers, the Company recognized each individual earnout payment as compensation expense over the period commencing on the date that the related milestone was deemed probable of achievement through the anticipated date of achievement.
In addition, the Company had granted performance-based stock units (“PSUs”), with vesting terms that were based upon four individually-assessed, non-financial milestones, to other employees who worked on advancements in regenerative medicine related to lungs and tissue organs. The PSUs associated with each individual milestone were recognized as compensation expense over the period commencing on the date that the respective milestone was deemed probable of being met through the anticipated date of achievement.
As the milestones that trigger the Volumetric earnout payments and the vesting of the PSUs were (1) based upon scientific and technological advancements that were expected to require multiple years of R&D to achieve and (2) subject to significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties, management was to apply significant assumptions and judgment at each balance sheet date to assess both the probability of achievement and expected timing of achievement. A change in management’s assumptions or estimates regarding the probability and/or timing of achievement of a milestone in connection with management’s quarterly reassessment could materially impact the amount of compensation expense recognized for the respective and future periods as follows:
•A change in assumptions that resulted in a milestone first being deemed probable of achievement would result in the recognition of incremental compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations in the respective period;
•A change in assumption regarding the timing of achievement of a milestone would result in the acceleration or deceleration of the recognition of future compensation expense; and/or
•A change in assumption that results in a milestone no longer being deemed probable of achievement would result in a full reversal of previously recognized expense in the respective period.
Prior to the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had been recognizing compensation expense related to (1) one Volumetric milestone-based payment, for which the potential amount due to the Sellers would be $65.0 million, and (2) one PSU milestone (“the RegMed Awards”), for which the aggregate grant date fair value of the outstanding and unvested awards was $4.5 million as of December 31, 2022, as the related Volumetric earnout and RegMed Award milestone was deemed probable of achievement. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company decided to reduce its budgeted funding for the R&D related to the Volumetric earnout and RegMed Award milestone, which resulted in the Company concluding that it was no longer probable that the milestone would be achieved by the end of the term of the Volumetric earnout arrangement or prior to the expiration and cancellation of the RegMed Awards. In concluding that the Volumetric and RegMed Award milestone would no longer be achieved, the Company reversed all of the previously accrued compensation expense, one half of which was expected to be settled with common shares, which had an income statement impact of $18.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
As a result of the reversal of all previously recognized expense during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not recognize any compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2023 related to (1) the $355.0 million of potential Volumetric earnout payments provided for in the Volumetric acquisition agreement or (2) the outstanding RegMed Awards with an aggregate grant date fair value of $17.2 million. The Company did not recognize any of this expense because none of the related non-financial milestones were deemed probable of achievement as of December 31, 2023.
Additionally, in February 2024, the Volumetric Sellers were informed that four of the seven milestones included in the Volumetric acquisition agreement were terminated. The termination of these milestones, which related to kidney and liver research, was based upon a determination that their achievement was no longer financially viable due to the loss of the funding required from the Company's key strategic partner for the related R&D efforts. As a result of the termination of the four milestones in February 2024, for periods subsequent to December 31, 2023, the Company's maximum liability for the Volumetric earnout payments related to the remaining three milestones was $175.0 million.
Furthermore, on April 29, 2024, the key employees from Volumetric, who were required to be employed at the time of achievement of each science-based milestone outlined in the Volumetric acquisition agreement in order for each related acquisition earnout payment to become payable, resigned from their positions with the Company. As a result of the resignation of the key employees for whom continued employment was required for any of the remaining earnout payments to become payable, the parties to which the remaining three earnout payments totaling $175.0 million were potentially payable were notified that such amount was no longer eligible to be earned. For further information concerning the termination of the Volumetric milestones related to potential earnout payments, refer to Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Further changes to management’s assumptions regarding the probability and/or timing of achievement of the RegMed Award milestones or, alternatively, changes to the arrangements or circumstances that provide for compensation to be paid upon the achievement of the RegMed Award milestones, could significantly impact the amount of compensation expense recognized by the Company in the future.
Systemic Bio Phantom Plan
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we began granting phantom unit awards ("Phantom Units") under a new compensation plan designed for employees and non-employees performing services for Systemic Bio, a wholly-owned subsidiary of 3D Systems. All awards granted under the plan are subsidiary-level awards. The Phantom Units granted under the plan include both a time-based vesting condition (generally 4 years, subject to acceleration in connection with specified liquidity events) and a market condition that is met if (1) the value of Systemic Bio exceeds a specified multiple of the capital invested in this subsidiary (the "hurdle") and (2) the business achieves a specified minimum internal rate of return. The market condition will be assessed upon (A) a trigger event (e.g., change-in-control, IPO, or plan expiration of December 31, 2030) and/or (B) an interim liquidity event (defined as January 1, 2028) that occurs prior to a trigger event. All awards granted under the plan are liability-classified due to our intention to settle these awards with cash; although, we have discretion to partially or fully settle these awards in equity upon vesting. Liability classification of the awards requires them to be remeasured at their estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period. Due to the presence of the market-condition and the fact that Systemic Bio does not have a readily available share price, the awards are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm. This valuation requires significant judgment regarding the input of various assumptions and estimates, which include the projected cash flows of (including projected capital invested in) Systemic Bio, the probability and/or timing of a trigger event or a liquidity event, the expected stock price volatility for selected public companies with comparable characteristics to Systemic Bio, the discount for the lack of marketability of Systemic Bio as a privately-held company, and the risk-free interest rate. A change in management’s judgment regarding these assumptions or estimates can materially impact the periodic measurement of the liability and the related amount of compensation expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices, each of which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We seek to minimize these risks through regular operating and financing activities and, when we consider it to be appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign exchange rates
Because we conduct our operations in many areas of the world and our transactions are denominated in a variety of currencies, our results of operations, as reported in U.S. dollars, may be significantly affected by fluctuations in rates of exchange between currencies. These fluctuations could be significant. In 2024, approximately 42.4% of our net sales and a significant portion of our costs are attributable to entities with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We generally are unable to adjust our non-dollar local currency sales prices to reflect changes in exchange rates between the dollar and the relevant local currency. As a result, changes in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, South Korean Won or other currencies in which we receive sale proceeds have a direct impact on our reported operating results. These impacts are partially offset by expenses incurred in the same currency as the sales. There is normally a time lag between our sales and collection of the related sales proceeds, exposing us to additional currency exchange rate risk.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, a hypothetical change of 10% in foreign currency exchange rates would have caused changes in revenue of $19.0 million, cost of goods sold of $14.4 million, and total operating expenses of $13.8 million, assuming all other variables remained constant.
Commodity prices
We are exposed to price volatility related to raw materials and energy products used in conjunction with our printer assembly and print materials blending processes. Generally, we acquire such components at market prices and do not use financial instruments to hedge commodity prices. For the year ended December 31, 2024, a hypothetical 10% change in commodity prices for raw materials would have caused a change to cost of sales of $12.8 million.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2024, which is the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024 due to the material weaknesses described below.
Notwithstanding the existence of the material weaknesses described below, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) and for performing an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.
Management of the Company assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. Management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("2013 Framework"). Based on this assessment, management has concluded we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting due to the material weaknesses described below.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We have identified the following material weaknesses, which exist or continue to exist as of December 31, 2024:
We did not maintain an effective control environment based on the criteria established in the 2013 Framework and identified deficiencies in the principles associated with the Control Environment component of the 2013 Framework that constitute material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate. We failed to maintain sufficient qualified resources with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training necessary to support accounting and financial reporting processes and controls. This material weakness in the control environment contributed to the following control activities material weaknesses:
•We did not design and maintain adequate controls within the revenue process that resulted in material weaknesses, either individually or in aggregate. Contract terms, pricing, standalone selling price models, and determination of timing of revenue recognition were not adequately reviewed prior to entry in the Company’s information systems. In addition, we did not effectively implement an accounting system that appropriately captures the allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations to support revenue accounting.
•We did not design and maintain adequate controls over certain assumptions used in the valuation of indefinite-lived intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets related to an impairment charge, that resulted in material weaknesses, either individually or in aggregate.
•We did not design and maintain adequate controls within the financial close and reporting process that resulted in material weaknesses, either individually or in aggregate. We did not maintain comprehensive formal accounting policies. We also did not maintain controls over manual journal entries, balance sheet account reconciliations, and financial statement disclosures. In part due to an inadequate level of review, such reviews were not always performed on a consistent and timely basis.
•We did not design and maintain adequate controls over the accounting treatment for certain technical matters, including controls related to complex and/or non-routine transactions and arrangements, that resulted in material weaknesses, either individually or in aggregate.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, who audited the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K issued an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Deloitte & Touche LLP's report is included herein.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Plan for Remediation
We are committed to maintaining strong internal control over financial reporting. Management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, is taking comprehensive actions to remediate the material weaknesses described above. Our remediation plan includes the following:
•We are enhancing the design of existing controls and implementing new controls related to revenue, the financial close and reporting process, complex or non-routine transactions, and valuation of indefinite-lived intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets.
•We are updating documentation, expanding education and training, and ensuring that controls are prepared and reviewed at the appropriate level of precision.
•We designed and implemented manual controls to appropriately capture the allocation of transaction price to the performance obligations.
•We have hired and will continue to hire, accounting and finance personnel with the requisite skills and expertise to strengthen our technical accounting related to complex and/or non-routine transactions, revenue accounting, and financial close and reporting capabilities.
•We will continue to augment our internal resources by engaging external consultants with technical experience in accounting and financial reporting until we add sufficient in-house skills to our staff as mentioned above.
•We have enhanced senior leadership’s oversight and monitoring of the internal control environment and effectiveness of the Company’s ongoing remediation activities.
The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the new and redesigned controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We believe the above measures will remediate the control deficiencies identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. As we continue to evaluate and work to remediate the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weaknesses, we may determine
that additional measures or time are required to address the control deficiencies or that we need to modify or otherwise adjust the remediation measures described above. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of our remediation efforts in connection with our evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting.
