Read MoreHide Full Article
3D Systems (DDD - Free Report) delivered strong third-quarter 2021 results, wherein both earnings and revenues not only surpassed the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate but also improved significantly year over year.
The company reported non-GAAP earnings of 8 cents per share beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 5 cents per share. The bottom line compared favorably with the year-ago quarter’s loss of 3 cents per share. Strong bottom-line performance was primarily driven by higher revenues and cost savings achieved from restructuring initiatives.
In the third quarter of 2021, the company reported revenues of $156.1 million, up 14.6% from the year-ago quarter but down 4% from the previous quarter. Excluding the impact of business divestments in 2020 and 2021, revenues surged 35.9% year over year.
The top line outpaced the consensus mark of $146.3 million. The year-over-year increase in top-line results reflect continued strength in the Industrial segment, growing demand from Healthcare customers and acceleration beyond pre-pandemic performance levels.
Product revenues, representing 69.8% of the total revenues, were $108.9 million, up 39.1% year over year. Meanwhile, revenues from Services, which accounted for 30.2% of revenues, plunged 18% year over year to $47.2 million.
