Stratasys (NASDAQ:SSYS), a leader in 3D printing technology, has announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2024, highlighting the impact of a tough macroeconomic climate on its performance.
The company's revenue fell to $138 million, down from $159.8 million in the same period last year.
Despite the overall revenue decline, Stratasys reported a promising increase in recurring consumables revenue, which grew by 6.3% year-over-year.
This suggests robust utilization of the company's printers.
During the period under review, Stratasys posted a GAAP net loss of $25.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, and reported negative free cash flow of $5.4 million after using $2.4 million in cash operations during the period.
In response to these challenges, the company announced a strategic restructuring plan aimed at streamlining operations and focusing on high-growth product areas.
This plan includes a workforce reduction of about 15%, anticipated to result in annual savings of approximately $40 million starting from the first quarter of 2025.
Following the earnings release, the company's share price dropped by over 13% to $6.62 in early trading.
