CEO MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS:
Dear Shareholders,
Exciting times are ahead, as your company continues to improve from the top to the bottom line. Additionally, a transformational M&A definitive agreement is expected to change our scale, makeup and merits of the business model, exponentially.
On our business as it is today
The first point to highlight is this year’s quarterly revenue of $15.0 million. This is a record, especially in the context of alleged macroeconomic headwinds and high interest rates that seemingly all companies in our industry attest to as being meaningfully challenging. Our exposure to markets indicates “headwinds” mostly in central Europe, at this point.
But we are not only resting on our laurels. We see continued improvements in our financial strength as we move below the top-line and into our cash flow. This has been the focus of our leadership team since we announced our Reshaping Nano Initiative in Q3/2023. Our efforts are bearing fruit. In comparing our H1 figures for 2024 vs. 2023, we see a 183 bps improvement in gross margin and a $40 million reduction in net cash burn. The latter is a monumental change and a reflection of the hard work of our team to realize synergies and organizational efficiencies.
It is also important to call out that our improved financial strength has not come at the expense of innovation. In Q2/2024, we saw our industrial AI group, DeepCube, along with our respective materials and software teams, all work on new developments that will advance the impact of our products and services for our customers. Our Additive Electronics team implemented a new Integrated Inspection System (I2S), which brings together pick-and-place functionality with inline inspection. The team at Global Inkjet Systems Ltd. (“GIS”) also announced a new partnership with Esko-Graphics BV and Fiery, LLC that combines the partners’ respective workflow automation, prepress, color management, and job management solutions with GIS’s advanced print control systems, creating a streamlined process for Industry 4.0 smart printing.
Outlook, moving forward:
There is more to do. While our employees should be proud of what they have achieved, management should not rest. The future of Nano Dimension will undoubtedly be shaped by the eventual closing of our agreement to acquire Desktop Metal, Inc. (“DM”), which we worked on initially since late 2022, again in late 2023, and announced on July 3rd, 2024. This acquisition will create a leader in AM.
The combined company will bring together outstanding teams and one of the most advanced portfolios in AM for mass production. I also believe this combination is compelling as the products and services portfolio can be characterized as having long term high growth potential. Together, we will accelerate our industry’s transition to integrated digital manufacturing solutions.
Now that the deal is signed, the team is committed to preparing for realizing synergies to the greatest extent possible and as soon as possible. To do this, we are working on a post-merger integration plan to ensure a seamless transition from day one after closing of the transaction.
I believe this acquisition was secured at an exceptionally compelling valuation for our shareholders with the total consideration being at most $183 million, and, with some potential adjustments, as low as $135 million. This creates a pro forma company that, based on the last full year figures from 2023, had revenue of $246 million with 28% of that generated from recurring revenue associated with consumables and services.
Having said that, we intend, if needed, to forgo inflating the top line, for the benefit, if possible, of improved EBITDA and reduction of negative cash flow while driving toward cash generation and positive profits.
In closing, with our recent and continued financial advancements along with a definitive agreement to acquire DM, our team is “laser focused” on generating returns and expanding value for our shareholders. We will continue to pursue operational excellence and a M&A strategy that complements our offerings, supporting our journey to becoming leaders in digital manufacturing.
Thank you,
Yoav Stern
Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors Nano Dimension
