Conference call to be held today at 09:00 a.m. EDT

NESS ZIONA, ISRAEL / ACCESSWIRE / March 15, 2018 / Nano Dimension Ltd., a leading additive electronics provider (NASDAQ:NNDM ), (TASE: NNDM), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2017.

Nano Dimension reported revenues of $440,000 (NIS 1,525,000) for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $861,000 (NIS 2,984,000) for the full year 2017. The company ended the fourth quarter of 2017 with $6,103,000 (NIS 21,159,000) in cash, while total loss for the fourth quarter was $4,202,000 (NIS 14,568,000).

"During the fourth quarter of 2017, after about three years of intensive product development of our 3D printer, inks and software, and after a year of beta testing, we began commercial sales of our Dragonfly 2020 Pro 3D printer," said Amit Dror, Chief Executive Officer of Nano Dimension.

"We believe that, as first to market with proprietary additive electronics products and services, we are well positioned to capture the expanding demand for rapid design and manufacturing of smart, connected products."

"We expanded our sales team and, recognizing the importance of the U.S. market to our growth and revenue generation, opened a North American headquarters in Silicon Valley and relocated our Chief Business Officer and Co-Founder Simon Fried to lead our expansion," remarked Mr. Dror.

"I am very pleased that, concurrent with our first commercial product launch, we opened two Customer Experience Centers and successfully onboarded our first 10 international value-added resellers – an initial channel foundation that we intend to double in number during 2018."

"During the first quarter of 2018, we added $13.8 million of cash to our balance sheet upon the completion of a public offering. We believe that with this cash infusion, we have the required financial strength and flexibility to scale sales and marketing globally and to expand our channel reach and presence."

"We are encouraged by the quality and strength of our growing reseller channel and the positive product performance feedback provided by our customers. Looking ahead toward the year 2020, we expect revenue CAGR at a rate of 100% and gross profit margin to converge on 50%. With anticipated revenue growth from DragonFly 2020 Pro 3D printers and materials, we expect that cash use in operations could decline by approximately 50% by 2020," concluded Mr. Dror.

Balance Sheet Highlights

• As part of Nano Dimension's preparations and actual commencement of commercial shipments of its new DragonFly 2020 Pro 3D printer during 2017, the company increased its work-in-progress and finished goods inventory and ended the year with a combined inventory of more than $2 million.

The decrease compared to December 31, 2016 mainly reflects the proceeds received from the issuance of the company's ordinary shares in the second quarter of 2017, less the cash used in operations and the cash used for the acquisition of fixed assets during the year ended December 31, 2017. On February 2018, Nano Dimension announced the closing of a public offering of American Depositary Shares, with a total gross proceeds of $13.8 million.
