ExOne net loss and machine sales success
At ExOne overall net loss was $4.9 million for Q3 2017, an increase on figures for the same period in 2016 when overall net loss was $3.6 million.
The $1.3 million difference is largely attributable to increased expenditure in both R&D and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs, $0.5 million of which “are not expected to recur in the fourth quarter.”
The total loss created by operations costs (R&D and SG&A combined) increased by $1.2 million on the same period in 2016 to a total of $4,836 K.
Net loss for the company equates to a 15% change in the diluted EPS between Q3 2017 and the same period in 2016. For Q3 2017 diluted EPS were $0.30, and in Q3 2016 these were $0.23.
ExOne’s best selling machine in this period is the Exerial Industrial Production 3D Printer, first launched in 2015. Q3 2017 saw ExOne close the sale of four Exerial systems for a total of $2.8 million. The company highlights this deal as a key contributor to Q3 2017 gross margin of 25.8 %.
