Ness Ziona, Israel, May 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nano Dimension Ltd., a leading additive electronics provider (Nasdaq, TASE: NNDM), today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. 

Nano Dimension reported revenues of $1,689,000 for the first quarter of 2019. The Company ended the quarter with $10,222,000 in cash, while total loss for the first quarter was $1,476,000.

First Quarter 2019 Financial Results

• Total revenues for the first quarter of 2019 were $1,689,000, compared to $1,705,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018, and $635,000 in the first quarter of 2018. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2018 was attributed to higher commercial sales of DragonFly Pro systems.
  

• Research and development (R&D) expenses for the first quarter of 2019 were $2,152,000, compared to $2,021,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018, and $2,548,000 in the first quarter of 2018. The increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 was mainly attributed to an increase in materials expenses. The decrease compared to the first quarter of 2018 was mainly attributed to a decrease in payroll and related expenses and a decrease in rent expenses, mainly due to shifting resources from R&D to manufacturing and operations.
  

• Sales and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2019 were $1,364,000, compared to $1,220,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018, and $786,000 in the first quarter of 2018. The increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 was mainly attributed to an increase in payroll and related expenses. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2018 was mainly attributed to an increase in payroll and related expenses and marketing and advertising expenses.
  

• General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2019 were $1,791,000, compared to $685,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018, and $885,000 in the first quarter of 2018. The increase is attributed to our February 2019 public offering, in which we issued warrants and rights to purchase, that were classified as financial liability, resulting in issuance expenses of approximately $1,224,000 that were recognized as G&A expense.
  

• Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $1,476,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to $3,967,000, or $0.04 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2018, and $4,123,000, or $0.05 per share, in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease is attributed to finance income of approximately $3,500,000 that was recognized in the first quarter of 2019 as a result of the change in the fair value of warrants and rights to purchase that were issued in our February 2019 public offering. See details below under the Balance Sheet Highlights.

Balance Sheet Highlights

• In February 2019 we issued, pursuant to a public offering in the United States, an aggregate of 80,000,000 ordinary shares (16,000,000 American Depositary Shares (“ADS”)), 80,000,000 non-tradable warrants (exercisable into 80,000,000 ordinary shares or 16,000,000 ADS) and 60,000,000 non-tradable rights to purchase (exercisable into 60,000,000 ordinary shares or 12,000,000 ADS). The rights to purchase and the warrants contained a cashless exercise mechanism and therefore are classified as financial liability that is measured at fair value through profit and loss. The total gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $12,000,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering-related expenses. The total net proceeds from the offering were approximately $10,560,000. From the gross issuance consideration, a total of approximately $10,200,000 was attributed to the fair value of the financial liability in respect to the rights to purchase and warrants. The remainder, approximately $1,800,000, was attributed to the issued shares. The value of the financial liability in respect to the rights to purchase and warrants was measured as of March 31, 2019, at an amount of approximately $6,500,000, and the difference between the fair value as of the issuance date and the fair value as of March 31, 2019, was recognized as finance income in an amount of approximately $3,600,000.
  

• On January 1, 2019, we adopted IFRS 16 using the cumulative effect method, and recognized a right of use asset in an amount of $1,891,000 and a lease liability in an amount of $2,192,000. Accordingly, we recognized depreciation and amortization expenses in respect of a right-of-use asset, and recognized financing expenses. Therefore, as from the date of initial application, lease payments relating to assets leased under an operating lease, which were presented as part of the different sections of expenses in the income statement, are capitalized to assets and are recognized as depreciation and amortization expenses at the same sections.
  

• Cash and cash equivalents totaled $10,222,000 as of March 31, 2019, compared to $3,753,000 on December 31, 2018. The increase compared to December 31, 2018 mainly reflects proceeds received from the sale of ADSs in the first quarter of 2019, less cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
  

• Shareholders’ equity totaled $16,145,000 as of March 31, 2019, compared to $15,572,000 as of December 31, 2018.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other Federal securities laws. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Because such statements deal with future events and are based on Nano Dimension’s current expectations, they are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and actual results, performance or achievements of Nano Dimension could differ materially from those described in or implied by the statements in this press release. For example, Nano Dimension is using forward-looking statements when it discusses that its global expansion continues in accordance with its growth plan, and that the company believes that its advantage as a first mover in additive electronics, with the growing maturity of its product and its increasing global expansion are the key for immediate and long-term growth. The forward-looking statements contained or implied in this press release are subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Nano Dimension’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2019, and in any subsequent filings with the SEC. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: Nano Dimension’s ability to increase sales and revenue, its burn rate, and its ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the projected cash flows and our cash balances as of March 31, 2019, Nano Dimension’s management is of the opinion that without further fund raising it will not have enough resources to enable it to continue advancing its activities for a period of at least 12 months. As a result, there is substantial doubt about Nano Dimension’s ability to continue as a going concern. Except as otherwise required by law, Nano Dimension undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. References and links to websites have been provided as a convenience, and the information contained on such websites is not incorporated by reference into this press release.
