3D Systems Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

3D Systems Corporation announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

  • Q1 2026 revenue of $95.5 million increased 1% year-over-year, or 11% excluding the impact of divestitures, driven by strong performance in the Healthcare business and double‑digit growth across key markets, including Dental, Med Tech, and Aerospace & Defense.
  • GAAP EPS loss narrowed to $(0.03), or $(0.01) on a non-GAAP basis, while Adjusted EBITDA improved to $2.1 million, reflecting the benefits of higher sales volumes and continued execution of cost reduction initiatives.
  • Robust growth in Dental and Med Tech, each exceeding approximately 20% year-over-year, drove Healthcare to a scale that now rivals the Company's Industrial segment.
  • Early success of recently launched products in Dental and Aerospace & Defense markets, including advanced printing systems for monolithic dentures and high‑performance metal components, is expected to support sustained long‑term revenue growth.
  • Amid ongoing global risks, the Company remains focused on building top-line momentum in key markets over the coming quarters, while maintaining disciplined cost management to achieve our goal of full-year break-even Adjusted EBITDA.

Summary Comments on Results

Dr. Jeffrey Graves, President and Chief Executive Officer of 3D Systems, said, “We are pleased with our first‑quarter performance on both the top and bottom line, which exceeded our initial expectations. Revenue growth was driven by strength in our key markets, including Dental, Med Tech, and Aerospace & Defense. These customers continue to rapidly adopt 3D printing as a core manufacturing technology and expand the range of applications they deploy. In the first quarter, this momentum drove growth rates of more than 20% in our Dental (excluding aligners), Med Tech, and Aerospace & Defense markets. This performance highlights the market‑leading breadth of our additive manufacturing portfolio, spanning direct metal printing and all five major polymer technologies, combined with our deep expertise in advanced applications.”

Dr. Graves concluded, “As the additive manufacturing industry begins to emerge from a multi‑year downturn, our sustained investments in research and development are enabling us to introduce a broad pipeline of new products that are gaining increasing customer traction. While the global economic environment remains uncertain, we are optimistic that, as capital investment activity strengthens, we are well positioned to benefit from the resulting expansion in global manufacturing capacity.”

“Adjusting for divestitures completed in 2025, total revenue increased 11% year over year, demonstrating a return of core revenue growth as we move into 2026” said Phyllis Nordstrom, Chief Financial Officer of 3D Systems. “Strong sales across key product areas, along with a focus on margin expansion, profitability, and efficient cost management, positively contributed to our performance in the quarter. We remain committed to managing costs while making targeted investments in our priority markets to drive profitable growth.”

First Quarter 2026 Results

Total revenue increased 1% to $95.5 million compared to the prior year period. Adjusting for software divestitures completed in 2025, including Geomagic, 3DXpert and Oqton, total revenue increased by 11%.

Healthcare Solutions revenue increased approximately 21% to $50.1 million compared to the prior year period.

Industrial Solutions revenue decreased approximately 15% to $45.4 million compared to the prior year period. Adjusting for divestitures, Industrial Solutions revenue increased 2% year over year.

Gross profit margin increased to 35.9% compared to 34.6% in the prior year period. Non-GAAP gross profit margin increased to 36.1% compared to 35.0% in the prior year period. Adjusting for software divestitures, non-GAAP gross profit margin increased by 600 basis points.

Net loss attributable to 3D Systems Corporation decreased by $32.6 million to $4.4 million compared to the prior year period. The improvement was primarily driven by lower operating expenses, higher sales volume, and favorable revenue mix.

Adjusted EBITDA turned positive, improving by $25.9 million to $2.1 million compared to the prior year period, driven by strong sales, favorable revenue mix, and the impact of prior cost reduction actions. Adjusting for software divestitures, Adjusted EBITDA improved $28.2 million.

Financial Liquidity 

At March 31, 2026, the Company had total cash of $86.5 million, which included cash and cash equivalents of $85.1 million and restricted cash of $1.4 million. A total of $3.9 million in principal amount of debt is scheduled to mature in the fourth quarter of 2026, with the remaining $92.0 million principal maturing in 2030. 

Second Quarter 2026 Outlook

Revenue: $93 - $95 million
Adjusted EBITDA: ($4) million - ($2) million

3D Systems does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain measures on a GAAP basis. The Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because certain items, including litigation expenses, acquisition expenses, stock-based compensation expense, intangible amortization expense, restructuring expenses, and goodwill impairment, are difficult to predict and estimate. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and as such, any associated estimate and its impact on GAAP performance could vary materially.
