Desktop Metal reports Q1 EPS (16c), consensus (6c)

Reports Q1 revenue $40.6M, consensus $40.8M. “We started 2024 on a solid foot, despite persistent challenges across the capital investment backdrop, which has been a headwind to our overall demand function. The DM team has shown a continued ability to improve operational performance as we decrease our operating expenses for the ninth consecutive quarter,” said Ric Fulop, CEO. “We are continuing to see strong demand for our production binder jet systems that produce metal, sand and ceramic parts, as well as a constructive environment for the value of Additive Manufacturing 2.0 systems. Looking ahead to the balance of 2024, we are confident in achieving positive adjusted EBITDA in the second half of 2024. Given our strategic cost-outs, we expect strong leverage as sales growth returns.”
