Atomic Layer of the Day:
3D Systems is once again facing challenges with the timely publication of its quarterly report. This time, the financial report for the third quarter of 2024 has not been released due to the need for an additional, unplanned valuation of the company’s goodwill and long-lived assets.
The company stated that this was necessary due to market changes and weak stock performance as of the end of September 2024. This process, typically conducted in the fourth quarter, was expedited, requiring additional effort and causing delays in finalizing the report.
For now, 3D Systems has announced that it expects third-quarter 2024 revenues to be approximately $113 million, representing a decline of $10.9 million compared to $123.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease is attributed to a drop in machine sales, though revenues from consumable materials have increased, showing a +10% year-over-year growth and a +9% sequential increase from the previous quarter.
The full financial results for the third quarter of 2024 are expected to be announced in the final week of November.
