Recent Developments and Updates Regarding Strategic Initiatives

2025 Restructuring Plan

In 2025, in response to continuing macroeconomic challenges impacting the Company’s financial performance, the Company implemented a series of cost savings and restructuring initiatives (the "2025 Restructuring Plan") as part of its ongoing multi-faceted transformation strategy. The Company does not expect to incur significant additional restructuring charges in 2026 related to the 2025 Restructuring Plan.

Divestitures

In December 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Hexagon AB for the sale of its Geomagic software business ("Geomagic"), which was included in our Industrial Solutions segment. On April 1, 2025, the Company completed the sale of Geomagic and received $119.4 million in cash, which reflected applicable purchase price adjustments under the Asset Purchase Agreement and Business Transfer Agreement. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $125.7 million from the sale of Geomagic in the second quarter of 2025.

In September 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Hubb Global Holdings, LLC for the sale of its 3DXpert and Oqton businesses, which were included in our Industrial Solutions segment. On October 31, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the 3DXpert and Oqton businesses for $3.3 million in cash, which reflected applicable purchase price adjustments, plus a revenue-based royalty receivable which had a present value of $7.1 million.

Background

We earn revenue from the sale of products and services through our Healthcare Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments. The product categories include 3D printers and corresponding materials, digitizers, software licenses, 3D scanners and haptic devices. The majority of materials used in our 3D printers are proprietary. The services categories include maintenance contracts and services on 3D printers, software maintenance, software as a service subscriptions and healthcare solutions services.

Given the relatively high price of certain 3D printers and a corresponding lengthy selling cycle, as well as relatively low unit volume of the higher-priced printers in any particular period, a shift in the timing and concentration of orders and shipments from one period to another can materially affect reported revenue in any given period.

In addition to changes in sales volumes, there are two other primary drivers of changes in revenue from one period to another: (i) the combined effect of changes in product mix and average selling prices and (ii) the impact of fluctuations in foreign currencies. As used in this MD&A, the price and mix effects relate to changes in revenue that are not able to be specifically attributed to changes in unit volume or changes in foreign exchange rates.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Certain statements contained in this discussion may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in any forward-looking statements. See "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A and "Forward-Looking Statements." All amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts, or as otherwise indicated.

"Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" ("MD&A") in our fiscal 2024 Form 10-K. Our fiscal 2024 Form 10-K was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025.

Business Overview

3D Systems Corporation ("3D Systems" or the "Company" or "we," "our" or "us") markets our products and services through subsidiaries in North America and South America ("Americas"), Europe and the Middle East ("EMEA") and Asia Pacific and Oceania ("APAC"). We provide comprehensive 3D printing and digital manufacturing solutions, including 3D printers for plastics and metals, materials, software, and services, including maintenance, advanced manufacturing and applications engineering.

Our solutions support advanced applications in two key industry verticals which are our reportable segments: Healthcare Solutions (which includes dental, medical devices, personalized health services and regenerative medicine) and Industrial Solutions (which includes aerospace, defense, transportation and general manufacturing). We have more than 35 years of experience and expertise, which have proven vital to our development of an ecosystem and end-to-end digital workflow solutions that enable customers to optimize product designs, transform workflows, bring innovative products to market and drive new business models.

Recent Developments

2025 Restructuring Plan

In March 2025, the Company authorized the next phase of its multi-faceted cost savings and restructuring initiative (the "2025 Restructuring Plan"). The 2025 Restructuring Plan includes initiatives to deliver sustainable growth and profitability, enabled by a streamlining of both infrastructure and business processes, while consistently investing in core research and development ("R&D") activities to support long-term growth opportunities. Additionally, in May 2025, in response to the uncertain macroeconomic environment, the Company announced an incremental cost reduction initiative focused on labor force reductions to deliver incremental cost savings.

We incurred $8.5 million in severance and termination benefit costs related to headcount reductions during the year ended December 31, 2025. These costs were primarily cash charges and were generally recognized when probable and estimable consistent with the Company’s past practices or statutory law. The Company does not expect to incur significant additional restructuring charges in 2026 related to the 2025 Restructuring Plan.

Divestitures

In December 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Hexagon AB for the sale of its Geomagic software business ("Geomagic"), which was included in our Industrial Solutions segment. On April 1, 2025, the Company completed the sale of Geomagic and received $119.4 million in cash, which reflected applicable purchase price adjustments. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $125.7 million from the sale of Geomagic in the year ended December 31, 2025.

In September 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of its 3DXpert and Oqton businesses to Hubb Global Holdings, LLC. On October 31, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the 3DXpert and Oqton businesses for $3.3 million in cash, which reflected applicable purchase price adjustments, plus a revenue-based royalty receivable which had a present value of $7.1 million.

Neither of these divestitures is presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements because they do not represent a strategic shift that will have a major impact on the Company's operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Results of Operations

Revenue

The following table sets forth changes in our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue decreased $53.2 million, or 12.1%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a decline in product revenue of $55.8 million driven by lower materials volume to customers in the dental, service bureaus, and jewelry markets, and the impact of divestitures. Service revenue increased $2.6 million due to increased volume and the impact of foreign currency translation which was partially offset by the impact of the divestitures. Service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was also impacted by an $8.7 million reversal of revenue due to a cumulative catch-up adjustment under a collaboration arrangement as the Company determined that incremental revenue attributable to milestone payments that are contingent upon the achievement of contractual development criteria are no longer probable of being earned.

Cost of sales and gross profit

For the year ended December 31, 2025, cost of sales decreased to $255.9 million compared to $275.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decline was primarily attributable to a lower volume of printer and material sales. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $33.1 million, or 20.2%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to a combination of lower materials sales volumes and the impact of the divestitures. Gross profit margin decreased to 33.9% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 37.3% for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the divestitures and lower sales volumes.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2025, SG&A decreased $48.8 million, or 23.2%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The year-over-year decline in SG&A was primarily due to:

•$21.3 million decrease in compensation and benefits expense primarily related to lower compensation expense due to the impact of our restructuring actions and lower stock-based compensation expense;

•$19.0 million decrease in third-party service provider and consulting costs due to the increased cost to complete our fiscal 2023 audit during the year ended December 31, 2024, and decreased legal fees; and

•$10.2 million decrease in intangible asset amortization expense due to lower intangible asset balances in 2025 because of the impairment charges assessed during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, as described further below;

•partially offset by a $4.7 million increase due to severance costs associated with our restructuring actions.

Research and development expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2025, R&D decreased $21.4 million, or 24.8%, compared to year ended December 31, 2024. The year-over-year decline in R&D was primarily due to:

•$15.8 million decrease in compensation and benefits expense and other R&D expenses primarily due to improved operating efficiency and cost reductions realized from our restructuring activities.

Asset impairment charges

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a $0.6 million impairment of a right of use asset related to a lease of a facility that was exited as part of its 2025 Restructuring Plan and could not be subleased. The impairment is included within Asset impairment charges in our consolidated statements of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $101.4 million related to the Healthcare Solutions reporting unit. This charge resulted from an interim impairment test performed during the three months ended September 30, 2024, which indicated the reporting unit's carrying value exceeded its fair value due to revised long-range cash flow forecasts prepared during the Company’s annual planning process. The impairment is included within Asset impairment charges in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
