Desktop Metal, Inc., a global leader in Additive Manufacturing 2.0 technologies for mass production, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
“Since the beginning of 2022, Desktop Metal has worked tirelessly to align our cost structure with macroeconomic realities, making hard decisions about the business. By the end of Q1 we had delivered nine quarters of non-GAAP opex reduction and brought our cash burn down dramatically. I am proud of the progress we have shown,” said Ric Fulop, Founder and CEO of Desktop Metal.
“However, despite these efforts, we've faced an increasingly challenging business environment as a result of rising rates, slowing capex budgets and other macro related challenges. We began to notice a concerning trend towards the end of this quarter with customers becoming hesitant to engage in closing deals due to our weakening financial outlook making it more difficult to reach our targets.
“This feedback from the market was a clear signal that we needed to take action. The proposed combination with Nano Dimension represents the best path forward for Desktop Metal and all of our stakeholders. This merger offers several key benefits that we expect will strengthen our competitive position and preserve shareholder value.”
