ROCK HILL, S.C., May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
- Q1 2026 revenue of $95.5 million increased 1% year-over-year, or 11% excluding the impact of divestitures, driven by strong performance in the Healthcare business and double‑digit growth across key markets, including Dental, Med Tech, and Aerospace & Defense.
- GAAP EPS loss narrowed to $(0.03), or $(0.01) on a non-GAAP basis, while Adjusted EBITDA improved to $2.1 million, reflecting the benefits of higher sales volumes and continued execution of cost reduction initiatives.
- Robust growth in Dental and Med Tech, each exceeding approximately 20% year-over-year, drove Healthcare to a scale that now rivals the Company's Industrial segment.
- Early success of recently launched products in Dental and Aerospace & Defense markets, including advanced printing systems for monolithic dentures and high‑performance metal components, is expected to support sustained long‑term revenue growth.
- Amid ongoing global risks, the Company remains focused on building top-line momentum in key markets over the coming quarters, while maintaining disciplined cost management to achieve our goal of full-year break-even Adjusted EBITDA.

Summary Comments on Results
Dr. Jeffrey Graves, President and Chief Executive Officer of 3D Systems, said, “We are pleased with our first‑quarter performance on both the top and bottom line, which exceeded our initial expectations. Revenue growth was driven by strength in our key markets, including Dental, Med Tech, and Aerospace & Defense. These customers continue to rapidly adopt 3D printing as a core manufacturing technology and expand the range of applications they deploy. In the first quarter, this momentum drove growth rates of more than 20% in our Dental (excluding aligners), Med Tech, and Aerospace & Defense markets. This performance highlights the market‑leading breadth of our additive manufacturing portfolio, spanning direct metal printing and all five major polymer technologies, combined with our deep expertise in advanced applications.”
Dr. Graves concluded, “As the additive manufacturing industry begins to emerge from a multi‑year downturn, our sustained investments in research and development are enabling us to introduce a broad pipeline of new products that are gaining increasing customer traction. While the global economic environment remains uncertain, we are optimistic that, as capital investment activity strengthens, we are well positioned to benefit from the resulting expansion in global manufacturing capacity.”
“Adjusting for divestitures completed in 2025, total revenue increased 11% year over year, demonstrating a return of core revenue growth as we move into 2026” said Phyllis Nordstrom, Chief Financial Officer of 3D Systems. “Strong sales across key product areas, along with a focus on margin expansion, profitability, and efficient cost management, positively contributed to our performance in the quarter. We remain committed to managing costs while making targeted investments in our priority markets to drive profitable growth.”
First Quarter 2026 Results
Total revenue increased 1% to $95.5 million compared to the prior year period. Adjusting for software divestitures completed in 2025, including Geomagic, 3DXpert and Oqton, total revenue increased by 11%.
Healthcare Solutions revenue increased approximately 21% to $50.1 million compared to the prior year period.
Industrial Solutions revenue decreased approximately 15% to $45.4 million compared to the prior year period. Adjusting for divestitures, Industrial Solutions revenue increased 2% year over year.
Gross profit margin increased to 35.9% compared to 34.6% in the prior year period. Non-GAAP gross profit margin increased to 36.1% compared to 35.0% in the prior year period. Adjusting for software divestitures, non-GAAP gross profit margin increased by 600 basis points.
Net loss attributable to 3D Systems Corporation decreased by $32.6 million to $4.4 million compared to the prior year period. The improvement was primarily driven by lower operating expenses, higher sales volume, and favorable revenue mix.
Adjusted EBITDA turned positive, improving by $25.9 million to $2.1 million compared to the prior year period, driven by strong sales, favorable revenue mix, and the impact of prior cost reduction actions. Adjusting for software divestitures, Adjusted EBITDA improved $28.2 million.
Financial Liquidity
At March 31, 2026, the Company had total cash of $86.5 million, which included cash and cash equivalents of $85.1 million and restricted cash of $1.4 million. A total of $3.9 million in principal amount of debt is scheduled to mature in the fourth quarter of 2026, with the remaining $92.0 million principal maturing in 2030.
Second Quarter 2026 Outlook
Revenue: $93 - $95 million
Adjusted EBITDA: ($4) million - ($2) million
3D Systems does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain measures on a GAAP basis. The Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because certain items, including litigation expenses, acquisition expenses, stock-based compensation expense, intangible amortization expense, restructuring expenses, and goodwill impairment, are difficult to predict and estimate. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and as such, any associated estimate and its impact on GAAP performance could vary materially.

Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
Presentation of Information in this Press Release
3D Systems reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. Management also reviews and reports certain non-GAAP measures, including: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP diluted income (loss) per share, non-GAAP operating expense and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that management does not view as part of 3D Systems’ core results as they may be highly variable, may be unusual or infrequent, are difficult to predict and can distort underlying business trends and results. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures provide useful additional insight into underlying business trends and results and provide meaningful information regarding the comparison of period-over-period results. Additionally, management uses the non-GAAP measures for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance, including allocating resources and evaluating results relative to employee compensation targets. 3D Systems’ non-GAAP measures are not calculated in accordance with or as required by GAAP and may not be calculated in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should thus be considered as supplemental in nature and not considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
To calculate the non-GAAP measures, 3D Systems excludes the impact of the following items:
- amortization of intangible assets, a non-cash expense, as 3D Systems’ intangible assets were primarily acquired in connection with business combinations;
- costs incurred in connection with acquisitions and divestitures, such as legal, consulting and advisory fees;
- stock-based compensation expenses, a non-cash expense;
- charges related to restructuring and cost optimization plans, impairment charges, including goodwill, and divestiture gains or losses;
- the impact of software divestitures, which were previously included in our Industrial Solutions segment, for pre-divestiture periods in 2025; and
- costs, including legal fees, related to significant or unusual litigation matters.
Amortization of intangibles and acquisition and divestiture-related costs are excluded from non-GAAP measures as the timing and magnitude of business combination transactions are not predictable, can vary significantly from period to period and the purchase price allocated to amortizable intangible assets and the related amortization period are unique to each acquisition. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. While intangible assets contribute to the company’s revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the sale of the company’s products or services. Additionally, intangible assets amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of the company’s acquisition activity. Accordingly, the company believes excluding the amortization of intangible assets enhances the company’s and investors’ ability to compare the company’s past financial performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to certain of our employees, the expense is non-cash in nature, and we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation; therefore, it is excluded from non-GAAP measures. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods. Charges related to restructuring and cost optimization plans, impairment charges, including goodwill, divestiture gains or losses, and the costs, including legal fees, related to significant or unusual litigation matters are excluded from non-GAAP measures as the frequency and magnitude of these activities may vary widely from period to period. Additionally, impairment charges, including goodwill, are non-cash. Furthermore, the company believes the costs, including legal fees, related to significant or unusual litigation matters are not indicative of our core business' operations. Finally, 3D Systems excludes contingent consideration recorded as compensation expense related to the 2021 Volumetric acquisition from non-GAAP measures as management evaluates financial performance excluding this expense, which is viewed by management as similar to acquisition consideration.
The matters discussed above are tax effected, as applicable, in calculating non-GAAP diluted income (loss) per share.
Adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income, plus income tax (provision) benefit, interest and other income (expense), net, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation expense, and other non-GAAP adjustments, all as described above, is used by management to evaluate performance and helps measure financial performance period-over-period.
Furthermore, in this press release, 3D Systems reports certain non-GAAP financial measures further adjusted to remove the operating activity related to (i) Geomagic, which the Company divested on April 1, 2025, for $119.4 million in cash, and (ii) 3DXpert and Oqton, which the Company divested on October 31, 2025, for $3.3 million in cash plus a revenue-based royalty of up to $12.9 million (together with Geomagic, the "Software Divestitures"), for periods non-comparable on a year over year basis. The Company believes excluding non-comparable periods allows it to include the operating activity related to Software Divestitures only to the extent that results are comparable year over year.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the accompanying schedules.
Certain columns may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in thousands.
3D Systems does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain measures on a GAAP basis. The Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because certain items, including litigation costs, acquisition expenses, stock-based compensation expense, intangible assets amortization expense, restructuring expenses, and goodwill impairment charges, are difficult to predict and estimate. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and as such, any associated estimate and its impact on GAAP performance could vary materially.
