Read MoreHide Full Article
Stratasys (SSYS - Free Report) reported fourth-quarter 2021 non-GAAP earnings of a penny per share in contrast to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of a penny per share. The bottom line came in lower than the year-ago quarter’s earnings of 13 cents per share.
The company’s revenues jumped 17.3% year over year to $167 million and surpassed the consensus mark of $165.4 million. This year-over-year top-line growth was driven by strength in the Systems performance.
Quarter in Detail
Segment-wise, Product revenues were up 19% from the year-ago quarter to $118 million. Within Product revenues, System revenues climbed 25.9% and Consumables revenues jumped 12.3% year over year.

Stratasys’ non-GAAP gross profit increased 10.8% from the year-ago period to $81.3 million. However, non-GAAP gross margin contracted 80 basis points (bps) to 48.7%, mainly due to raw material inflation and rising logistic costs. This was partially offset by a higher mix of Systems and Consumables revenues in sales.
Non-GAAP operating expenses flared up 28% year on year to $79.6 million. As a percentage of revenues, it expanded 40 bps to 47.7%. The increase was mainly driven by factors like a return to five-day work with higher expenses, higher operating costs and commissions due to more revenues and Xaar 3D acquisition-related expenses in the fourth quarter.
Non-GAAP operating income of $1.7 million was down 6.6% from the year-ago quarter’s $8.3 million. Consequently, the margin also fell by 490 bps to 1%.
Adjusted EBITDA plunged 45.9% to $7.9 million.
