Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures provided in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial tables included at the end of this press release. An explanation of these measures and how they are calculated is also included under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
"We ended the year strong, with record quarterly revenues, as demand for The Digital Forge continued to grow worldwide despite a challenging operating environment. Supply chain disruption remains a key catalyst for growth, as manufacturers shorten their supply chains through point of need industrial production," said Shai Terem, President and CEO of Markforged. "We made pivotal progress in 2022 on our strategy to achieve profitable growth. We materially expanded our addressable market organically, through the introduction of the FX20, and inorganically through our successful acquisitions of Teton Simulation and Digital Metal, and we are confident we will see material growth as a result in the coming years. And each step along the way we continued to develop operational efficiencies and implement cost controls to keep us on our path to profitability."
Business Highlights
- Strength in the APAC and EMEA region. Macroeconomic uncertainty led manufacturers to delay purchase decisions. However, Markforged still executed on its growth strategy in both the EMEA and APAC regions in the fourth quarter of 2022, with revenues growing 36% in EMEA and 20% in APAC year-over-year.
- Robust FX20 demand. In 2022 Markforged began commercializing the FX20, its largest solution for manufacturers requiring parts of industrial strength and high temperature resistance. Demand for the FX20 continues to exceed the Company's expectations. In its first year of general availability, Markforged received multi-system orders for the FX20 from multiple customers.
- Two successful acquisition integrations. Markforged successfully executed on its M&A strategy in 2022, acquiring Teton Simulation and Digital Metal, whose products are expected to expand the Company's addressable market opportunity in 2023 and beyond. In November 2022, Markforged integrated Teton's technology into The Digital Forge, through a feature known as Simulation, and rolled out a free beta trial to all of its customers. The response from customers has been positive with thousands of trial registrations to-date. The Company expects to offer Simulation as a component of a tiered software-as-a-service subscription offering that it plans to launch this year. The newest system from Digital Metal, the PX100, doubles the speed and build size from its previous model, driving higher volume and lower cost per part in the production of end use metal parts.
- Cost Savings and building operational efficiency. Markforged met its operating cost targets in the fourth quarter of 2022 and, since the second quarter of 2022, removed nearly $20 million out of its cost structure, after giving effect to the Teton Simulation and Digital Metal acquisitions. Key infrastructure investments the Company has made over the past 18 months have begun to yield financial and operational leverage. The Company expects this effect to become even more apparent in 2023 as the Company expects a decline in cash burn, on the path toward profitability.
Guidance
Markforged anticipates full year 2023 revenues to be within the range of $101.0 million - $110.0 million. This guidance assumes a continuation of the existing global economic uncertainties and challenges but does not assume a deep recession in 2023. Markforged expects to continue to generate strong gross margins, with full year non-GAAP gross margins expected to be in the range of 47% - 49%. Markforged expects operating expenses to decline as a percentage of revenues, including the impact of the two acquisitions we completed in 2022, resulting in a non-GAAP operating loss in the range of $55.0 million - $58.0 million for the year. This translates into non-GAAP EPS results for the full year to be a loss in the range of $0.27 - $0.29 per share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we believe that non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating profit (loss), and non-GAAP earnings per share, each a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful in evaluating the performance of our business.
These non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool. We do not, nor do we suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that the non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies, including other companies in our industry.
We recommend that you review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release, and that you not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Additionally, to the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations.
Investors should note that beginning with the second quarter of 2022, we have modified the presentation of "non-recurring costs" included in non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating profit (loss), non-GAAP net profit (loss) and non-GAAP earnings per share metrics to include certain non-recurring litigation costs. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, we have modified the presentation to remove the impact of the amortization of our intangible assets. We use these metrics to provide an understanding of the results of our core business performance and believe these litigation and amortization costs are not indicative of the performance of our core business' operations. This change increases "non-recurring costs' by $0.6 million, $1.0 million, $0.8 million, and $1.4 million in the first through fourth quarters of 2022, respectively, and by $3.7 million, $0.9 million, $0.3 million, and $0.4 million in the first through fourth quarters of 2021, respectively. The exclusion of amortization increases non-GAAP net profit (loss) by $0.1 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, and does not change the presentation of the year ended December 31, 2021. To conform to the current period's presentation, we have included non-recurring litigation costs as "non-recurring costs" when presenting the foregoing non-GAAP figures for the year to date period and periods presented for 2021.
The following are the non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this press release and presented in the tables below:
- Non-GAAP gross margin is defined as GAAP operating profit (loss), less stock-based compensation expense, amortization, and certain non-recurring costs, divided by revenue.
- Non-GAAP operating profit (loss) is defined as GAAP operating profit (loss) less stock-based compensation expense, amortization, and certain non-recurring costs.
- Non-GAAP net profit (loss) is defined as GAAP net profit (loss) less stock-based compensation expense, net change in fair value of warrant liabilities and contingent earnout liabilities, amortization, and certain non-recurring costs.
- Non-GAAP earnings per share is defined as GAAP net profit (loss) less stock-based compensation expense, net change in fair value of warrant liabilities and contingent earnout liabilities, amortization, and certain non-recurring costs, divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the period.
