Nano Dimension (TASE:NNDM, NASDAQ:NNDM), a leader in the area of 3D printed electronics, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Management Comments
“The successful delivery of an additional six DragonFly 2020 3D printers during the first quarter doubled our number of beta sites around the world, bringing us one step closer to our primary objective of commercialization. With thousands of unsolicited requests for information on our products, I am confident that we are on track to meet our goal to begin commercial sales of our DragonFly 2020 3D printer by year end,” commented Amit Dror, Nano Dimension’s CEO. “Our printers have now been integrated by industry leaders in the fields of defense, technology, medical devices, smart transportation and manufacturing, among others. The feedback that we have received from these early adopters has been extremely positive and informs our processes as we work to transition from beta testing to commercial sales.”
First Quarter 2017 Financial Results

• Total revenues for the first quarter of 2017 were $118,000 (NIS 430,000), compared to $46,000 (NIS 175,000) in the fourth quarter of 2016. The fourth quarter of 2016 was the first quarter that Nano Dimension generated revenues. The increase in revenues in the first quarter of 2017 is attributed to additional beta printer deliveries, and longer periods of customer use compared to the previous quarter.
• Research and development (R&D) expenses for the first quarter of 2017 were $2,508,000 (NIS 9,112,000), compared to $436,000 (NIS 1,642,000) in the first quarter of 2016 and $2,470,000 (NIS 9,498,000) in the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2016 is a result of the cessation of the capitalization of development cost in the fourth quarter of 2016.

The R&D expenses for the first quarter of 2017 are presented net of government grants in the amount of $21,000 (NIS 76,000).

• General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2017 were $1,270,000 (NIS 4,612,000), compared to $1,176,000 (NIS 4,429,000) in the first quarter of 2016 and $1,422,000 (NIS 5,468,000) in the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2016 resulted primarily from an increase in professional services expenses and in payroll and related expenses.
• Net loss for the first quarter of 2017 was $4,489,000 (NIS 16,306,000), or $0.09 (NIS 0.33) per share, compared to $1,790,000 (NIS 6,741,000), or $0.05 (NIS 0.18) per share, in the first quarter of 2016 and $3,858,000 (NIS 14,837,000), or $0.08 (NIS 0.30) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2016 was mainly attributed to the increase in R&D expenses as described above.

Balance Sheet Highlights

• Cash totaled $8,914,000 (NIS 32,376,000) as of March 31, 2017, compared to $12,379,000 (NIS 47,599,000) on December 31, 2016. The decrease compared to December 31, 2016 reflects the cash used in operations during the first quarter of 2017.
• Shareholders’ equity totaled $16,392,000 (NIS 59,537,000) as of March 31, 2017, compared to $19,302,000 (NIS 74,218,000) as of December 31, 2016.

First Quarter Corporate Highlights:

• Successful supply of six additional DragonFly 2020 3D printers. As of today, a total of 13 beta customers now include leaders in the defense, medical devices, manufacturing, technology and transportation sectors.
• On track to transition to commercial sales by year end. The Company recently completed training with Flex Ltd. (previously Flextronics). Flex will serve as the Company’s primary manufacturer of the DragonFly2020 printer.
• Filed a patent application for the development of 3D bio-printing of cells and connective tissues. Nano Dimension announced that it intends to create a platform for 3D bio-printing to form biological structures that function as human kidneys.
• Filed a patent application for a process to print a series of multilayered rigid PCBs, connected through printed flexible conductive connections.
• Filed a patent application for the printing process of electrical circuits with embedded electrical components.
• Received approval for a $370,000 grant from the Israel Innovation Authority to develop processes related to 3D printing of advanced ceramic materials in inkjet technology.
• Following the lawsuit that was previously filed against the Company by XJet Ltd., a settlement was reached whereby the parties agreed that the legal proceedings will end, and the lawsuit against the Company will be dismissed, without any material effect on the Company’s activity.
