Overview
We are one of the world’s largest, fastest and most comprehensive digital manufacturers of custom parts. Our vision is accelerating innovation by revolutionizing manufacturing. Our mission is to shape the future by bringing customer ideas to life across every stage of their product cycle. We accomplish this by offering a variety of manufacturing capabilities fulfilled through a combination of owned manufacturing factories and a worldwide network of premium manufacturing partners. Our automated quoting and manufacturing systems are highly integrated with our manufacturing and fulfillment systems, which allow us to offer a vast array of manufacturing technologies in a variety of materials across a continuum of lead times and prices. Our technology-enabled digital engineering and manufacturing applications enable us to produce commercial-grade plastic, metal, and liquid silicone rubber parts in as fast as one day.
Our customers conduct the majority of their business with us via our Internet-based eCommerce platform. We target our products to the millions of product developers and engineers who use three-dimensional computer-aided design (3D CAD) software to design products across a diverse range of end-markets, to the procurement and supply chain professionals seeking to easily and efficiently source custom parts on-demand, and to a wide variety of customers seeking to purchase custom parts. We believe our use of advanced technologies enable us to offer significant advantages at competitive prices to many customers and is the primary reason we have become a leading supplier of custom parts.
We have established our operations in the United States and Europe. On October 21, 2024, the Company's board of directors approved a plan related to the Company's manufacturing facilities in Germany. The plan includes the closure of the Company's prototype injection molding manufacturing facility in Eschenlohe, Germany, and the discontinuation of Direct Metal Laser Sintering 3D printing services through its 3D printing facility in Putzbrunn, Germany. The Company expects to substantially complete the plan during fiscal year 2025. The Company intends to continue offering all of its manufacturing services to customers across Europe, including injection molding and metal 3D printing. These services will be fulfilled through internal manufacturing facilities and a network of manufacturing partners.
Our primary manufacturing product lines currently include Injection Molding, CNC Machining, 3D Printing and Sheet Metal. We continually seek to expand the range of sizes and geometric complexity of the parts we can make with these processes, to extend the variety of materials we are able to support, and to identify additional manufacturing processes to which we can apply our technology or incorporate into our manufacturing network in order to better serve the evolving preferences and needs of our customers. With the addition of the Protolabs Network in 2021, our global network of premium manufacturing partners significantly expands the breadth and depth of our manufacturing capabilities, enabling us to offer customers a wider variety of lead times and pricing options, and an expanded envelope of parts (complexity, size, etc.).
President and Chief Executive Officer Transition
On May 21, 2025, the Company announced that the Company’s board of directors appointed Suresh Krishna to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, effective May 20, 2025 (the “Transition Date”), succeeding Robert
Bodor, who ceased to be the President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company effective as of May 20, 2025. The board also appointed Mr. Krishna to serve as a director of the Company, filling the vacancy left on the Board by Dr. Bodor’s departure, until the earlier of the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor is elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation, or removal.
Key Financial Measures and Trends
Revenue
Our operations are comprised of two geographic operating segments in the United States and Europe. On October 21, 2024, the Company's board of directors approved a plan related to the Company's manufacturing facilities in Germany. The plan includes the closure of the Company's prototype injection molding manufacturing facility in Eschenlohe, Germany, and the discontinuation of Direct Metal Laser Sintering 3D printing services through its 3D printing facility in Putzbrunn, Germany. The Company expects to substantially complete the plan during fiscal year 2025. The Company intends to continue offering all of its manufacturing services to customers across Europe, including injection molding and metal 3D printing. These services will be fulfilled through internal manufacturing facilities and a network of manufacturing partners.
Revenue is derived from the sale or parts fulfilled through our owned manufacturing factories and worldwide network of premium manufacturing partners. Our product lines consist of Injection Molding, CNC Machining, 3D Printing and Sheet Metal. Injection Molding revenue consists of sales of custom injection molds and injection-molded parts. CNC Machining revenue consists of sales of CNC-machined custom parts. 3D Printing revenue consists of sales of 3D-printed parts. Sheet Metal revenue consists of sales of fabricated sheet metal custom parts. Our revenue is generated from a diverse customer base and our historical and current efforts to increase revenue have been directed at gaining new customers and selling to our existing customer base by increasing marketing and selling activities, including:
- expanding the breadth and scope of our products by adding more sizes and materials to our offerings;
- the introduction of our 3D Printing product line through our acquisition of FineLine in 2014;
- expanding 3D Printing to Europe through our acquisition of Alphaform in 2015;
- the introduction of our Sheet Metal product line through our acquisition of Rapid Manufacturing Group, LLC in 2017;
- continuously improving the usability of our product lines such as our web-centric applications; and
- providing customers with on-demand access to a global network of premium manufacturing partners through our acquisition of Hubs in 2021.
The following table summarizes our unique customer contacts and revenue per customer contact:
| Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | 2024 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue (in thousands) | $135,063 | $125,631 | $261,268 | $253,521 |
| Customer contacts | 21,775 | 22,456 | 33,136 | 34,338 |
| Revenue per customer contact1 | $6,203 | $5,595 | $7,885 | $7,383 |
1 Revenue per customer contact is calculated using the revenue recognized during the respective period divided by the actual number of customer contacts served during the same period. Customer contacts are product developers, engineers, procurement and supply chain professionals and other individuals who place an order, and that order is shipped and invoiced during the period. The Company believes revenue per customer contact is useful to investors in evaluating the underlying business trends and ongoing operating performance of the Company.
Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Cost of revenue consists primarily of raw materials, equipment depreciation, employee compensation including benefits and stock-based compensation, facilities costs, overhead allocations associated with the manufacturing process for molds and custom parts, and costs to procure parts through our network of premium manufacturing partners. We expect our personnel-related costs to increase in order to retain and attract top talent and remain competitive in the market. Overall, we expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars.
We define gross profit as our revenue less our cost of revenue, and we define gross margin as gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. Our gross profit and gross margin are affected by many factors, including our mix of revenue produced in our internal manufacturing operations and outsourced to our external manufacturing partners, pricing, sales volume, manufacturing costs, the costs associated with increasing production capacity, the mix between domestic and foreign revenue sources, the mix of revenue by product line, and foreign currency exchange rates.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of marketing and sales, research and development and general and administrative expenses. Personnel-related costs are the most significant component in each of these categories.
Our business strategy is to continue to be a leading online and technology-enabled manufacturer of quick-turn, on-demand injection-molded, CNC-machined, 3D-printed and fabricated sheet metal custom parts for prototyping and low-volume production. In order to achieve our goals, we anticipate continued substantial investments in technology and personnel, resulting in increased operating expenses in the future.
Marketing and sales. Marketing and sales expense consists primarily of employee compensation, benefits, commissions, stock-based compensation, marketing demand generation costs such as electronic, print and pay-per-click advertising, trade shows and other related overhead. We expect sales and marketing expense to increase in the future as we increase the number of marketing and sales professionals and marketing demand generation costs targeted to increase our customer base and grow revenue.
Research and development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel and outside service costs related to the development of new processes and product lines, enhancement of existing product lines, development of software for internal use, maintenance of internally developed software, quality assurance and testing. Costs for internal use software are evaluated by project and capitalized where appropriate under ASC 350-40, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software. We expect research and development expense to increase in the future as we seek to enhance our e-commerce interface technology, internal software and supporting business systems, and continue to expand our product lines.
General and administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of employee compensation, benefits, stock-based compensation, professional service fees related to accounting, tax and legal, and other related overhead. We expect general and administrative expense to increase in the future as we continue to grow and expand as a global organization.
Costs related to disposal and exit activities. Costs related to disposal and exit activities is driven by our decision to close certain manufacturing facilities in Germany. The expenses consist primarily of operating expenses, including employee severance, write-down of fixed assets and facility-related charges. Benefits may result from adjustments to initial estimates regarding the nature and timing of disposal and exit activities.
Other Income, net
Other income, net primarily consists of foreign currency-related gains and losses and interest income on cash balances and investments. Our foreign currency-related gains and losses will vary depending upon movements in underlying foreign currency exchange rates. Our interest income will vary each reporting period depending on our average cash balances during the period, composition of our marketable security portfolio and the current level of interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes is comprised of federal, state, local and foreign taxes based on pre-tax income. Overall, our effective tax rate for 2025 and beyond may differ from historical effective tax rates due to increases in losses in foreign operations that are not eligible for tax benefits on account of valuation allowances, as well as any future tax law changes that may impact our effective tax rate.

| Total revenue | $135,063 | 100.0% | $125,631 | 100.0% | $9,432 | 7.5% |
Our revenue increased $9.4 million, or 7.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The growth in revenue was primarily driven by an increase in average order value for our larger customers in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. By reportable segment, revenue in the United States increased $12.2 million, or 12.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Revenue in Europe decreased $2.7 million, or 10.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. International revenue was favorably impacted by $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 as a result of foreign currency movements, primarily due to the strengthening of the British Pound and Euro relative to the United States Dollar.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we served 21,775 unique customer contacts, which is a decrease of 3.0% from the same period in 2024.

The increase in the cost of revenue of $6.2 million was primarily driven by higher revenue volumes resulting in increases of $4.0 million in raw material and production and fulfillment related costs, and $2.4 million in personnel and related costs, primarily due to overtime, medical related costs and incentive compensation, during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, partially offset by decreases in equipment and facility-related costs of $0.2 million.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Gross profit increased $3.2 million, or 5.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Gross margin decreased from 45.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 44.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Operating Expenses, Other Income, net and Provision for Income Taxes
Marketing and Sales. Our marketing and sales expenses increased $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to increases in personnel and related costs of $1.4 million, primarily due to merit increases and incentive compensation related to commissions.

General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses increased $2.2 million, or 13.0%, during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to increases of $1.8 million in personnel and related costs, primarily related to the previously disclosed CEO transition that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025, $0.2 million in administrative costs and $0.2 million in professional services.
Costs related to exit and disposal. Our decision to exit and close certain operations in Germany resulted in a $0.2 million expense related to the write-down of fixed assets and $0.1 million in personnel and related cost benefits during the three months ended June 30, 2025. These items are the result of changes from the estimated amounts accrued in 2024 and the timing of employee separation payments. We had no costs related to exit and disposal activities during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Other income, net. We recognized other income, net of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $0.3 million compared to other income, net of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2025 primarily consisted of $1.1 million in interest income on investments, $0.5 million of foreign currency gains and $0.1 million of other income. Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily consisted of $1.5 million in interest income on investments and other income, partially offset by $0.1 million of foreign currency losses.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate of 33.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased 4.6% compared to 38.3% for the same period in 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in tax expense from the vesting of restricted stock units and the exercise of stock options. Our income tax provision of $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $0.6 million as compared to our income tax provision of $2.8 million for the same period in 2024.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Gross profit increased from $114.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $115.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Gross margin decreased from 45.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 44.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Operating Expenses, Other Income, net and Provision for Income Taxes
Marketing and Sales. Our Marketing and sales expenses increased $2.0 million, or 4.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was driven by increases in personnel and related costs of $1.8 million, primarily due to merit increases and incentive compensation related to commissions, and marketing program cost increases of $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024.
Research and Development. Our research and development expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 were flat primarily due to personnel and related cost increases of $0.4 million, primarily related to incentive compensation, being offset by decreases of $0.2 million in operating costs and $0.2 million in professional services.
General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses increased $2.7 million, or 8.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to increases of $1.5 million in personnel and related costs, primarily related to the previously disclosed CEO transition that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025, $1.2 million in administrative costs and $0.2 million in professional services, partially offset by decreases of $0.1 million in stock-based compensation and $0.1 million intangible amortization costs.
Costs related to exit and disposal. Our decision to exit and close certain operations in Germany resulted in a $0.2 million expense related to the write-down of fixed assets and $0.1 million in personnel and related cost benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2025. These items are the result of changes from the estimated amounts accrued in 2024 and the timing of employee separation payments. We had no costs related to exit and disposal activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Other loss, net. We recognized other income, net of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $0.9 million compared to other income, net of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily consisted of $2.3 million in interest income on investments, $0.5 million of foreign currency gains and $0.4 million of other income. Other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily consisted of $2.6 million in interest income on investments and other income, partially offset by a $0.3 million of foreign currency losses.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate of 36.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased 1.6% compared to 35.0% for the same period in 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to an increase in losses in jurisdictions that are not eligible for tax benefits due to valuation allowances. Our income tax provision of $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $0.6 million compared to our income tax provision of $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:
(dollars in thousands)
| Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $28,963 | $35,781 |
| Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities | (3,552) | 3,665 |

Sources of Liquidity
Historically, we have primarily financed our operations and capital expenditures through cash flow from operations. We had cash and cash equivalents of $90.4 million as of June 30, 2025, an increase of $1.3 million from December 31, 2024. The increase in our cash was primarily due to cash provided by operating activities of $29.0 million and proceeds from call redemptions and maturities of marketable securities of $10.2 million, partially offset by $24.0 million in repurchases of common stock, $11.1 million for purchases of marketable securities and $2.7 million for purchases of property, equipment and other capital assets.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Critical Accounting Estimates
We have adopted various accounting policies to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgements and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included Part II, Item 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Foreign Currency Risk
As a result of our foreign operations, we have revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies. We generate revenue and incur production and sourcing costs and operating expenses in British Pounds and Euros.
Our operating results and cash flows are adversely impacted when the United States Dollar appreciates relative to foreign currencies. Additionally, our operating results and cash flows are adversely impacted when the British Pound appreciates relative to the Euro. As we expand internationally, our results of operations and cash flows will become increasingly subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
We have not used forward contracts or currency borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency risk. Foreign currency risk can be assessed by estimating the change in results of operations or financial position resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates. We believe such a change would generally not have a material impact on our financial position, but could have a material impact on our results of operations. We recognized foreign currency gains of $0.5 million and foreign currency losses of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We recognized foreign currency gains of $0.5 million and foreign currency losses of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The changes in foreign exchange rates had a favorable impact on consolidated revenue of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and a favorable impact on consolidated revenue of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
