MAPLE PLAIN, Minn. – February 10, 2023 – Proto Labs, Inc. (the "Company" or "Protolabs") (NYSE: PRLB), the world’s leading provider of digital manufacturing services, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights include:

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $115.6 million, representing a 6.5 percent decrease compared to revenue of $123.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

●

Revenue generated from our digital network powered by Hubs was $14.8 million in the fourth quarter, representing growth of 49.6 percent over the fourth quarter of 2021 and 22.2 percent sequential growth compared to the third quarter of 2022.

●

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $115.1 million, or ($4.24) per diluted share, driven by a goodwill impairment charge of $118.0 million.

●

Non-GAAP net income was $7.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Expanded Share Repurchase Program:

●

On February 7, 2023, Protolabs' Board of Directors approved $50 million increase to existing Share Repurchase Program, bringing the total amount authorized under the program to $250 million.

●

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has purchased $117.7 million under the program, which expires December 31, 2024.

●

With the increased authorization, the Company has $132.3 million remaining to repurchase shares under the expanded program.

“In a challenging economic environment, impacted by inflation, slowing growth and continued supply chain challenges, our Protolabs and Hubs teams continued to delight our customers as together we build the most comprehensive digital manufacturing capabilities in the world,” said Rob Bodor, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Following the launch of several new offers in 2022 and early 2023, we are well-positioned to extend our market differentiation with quality internal manufacturing at speed and the expansive breadth and depth afforded by our curated network of manufacturing partners.”

Full Year 2022 Highlights include:

●

Record annual revenue of $488.4 million in 2022.

●

Protolabs served 56,333 unique product developers during the year.

●

Gross margin was 44.1 percent of revenue in 2022, compared to 45.6 percent in 2021.

●

Cash and investments balance was $106.5 million as of December 31, 2022.

“As we narrow our focus in 2023 on growth of our Injection Molding business and accelerating growth from the integrated Protolabs and Hubs CNC offer, we are managing expenses to enable continued strategic investments which we expect to drive profitable revenue growth,” said Dan Schumacher, Chief Financial Officer. “Combined with a healthy financial position and strong cash balance, disciplined cost management will help fuel growth of the business while returning capital to our shareholders.”

Expanded Share Repurchase Program

Under the expanded $250 million Share Repurchase Program, shares of the Company’s common stock may be repurchased periodically, including in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. The actual timing, manner, number, and value of shares repurchased under the program will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on several factors, including the market price of Proto Labs’ common stock, general market and economic conditions, applicable requirements, and other business considerations. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of shares of the Company’s stock.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has included non-GAAP revenue growth by region and by service line that excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and revenue earned from our acquisition of Hubs (collectively, “non-GAAP revenue growth”). Management believes these metrics are useful in evaluating the underlying business trends and ongoing operating performance of the Company.

The Company has included earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA, adjusted for goodwill impairment charges, stock-based compensation expense, unrealized (gain) loss on foreign currency, costs related to the Japan closure activities and transaction costs (collectively, “Adjusted EBITDA”), in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s financial results. The Company has also included earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin (“EBITDA margin”) and EBITDA margin, adjusted for goodwill impairment charges, stock-based compensation expense, unrealized (gain) loss on foreign currency, costs related to the Japan closure activities and transaction costs (collectively, “Adjusted EBITDA margin”), in this press release to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s financial results.

For the three-month and year-ended periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, income tax effects were calculated using the effective tax rate for the relevant jurisdictions. The Company's non-GAAP tax rates differ from its GAAP tax rates due primarily to the mix of activity incurred in domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions and removing effective tax rate benefits from stock-based compensation activity in the quarter.

¹ Revenue for the three-month and year-ended periods ended December 31, 2022 has been recalculated using 2021 foreign currency exchange rates in effect during comparable periods to provide information useful in evaluating the underlying business trends excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

² Revenue for the year-ended period ended December 31, 2022 has been recalculated to exclude revenue earned from the Company's acquisition of Hubs, Inc. for the period from January 1, 2022 to January 21, 2022 to provide information useful in evaluating the underlying business trends excluding the impact of acquisitions. The Hubs, Inc. acquisition occurred on January 22, 2021 and was included in 2021 revenue after that date.

³ This column presents the percentage change from GAAP revenue for the three-month and year-ended periods ended December 31, 2021 to GAAP revenue for the three-month and year-ended periods ended December 31, 2022.

⁴ This column presents the percentage change from GAAP revenue for the three-month and year-ended periods ended December 31, 2021 to non-GAAP revenue for the three-month and year-ended periods ended December 31, 2022 (as recalculated using the foreign currency exchange rates in effect during the three-month and year-ended periods ended December 31, 2021, excluding the impact of Hubs, Inc. acquisition) in order to provide a constant-currency comparison.
