The ExOne Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(dollars in thousands, except per-share and share amounts)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Organization
The ExOne Company (“ExOne”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. ExOne was formed on January 1, 2013, when The Ex One Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, merged with and into a Delaware corporation, which survived and changed its name to The ExOne Company (the “Reorganization”). As a result of the Reorganization, The Ex One Company, LLC became ExOne, the common and preferred interest holders of The Ex One Company, LLC became holders of common stock and preferred stock, respectively, of ExOne, and the subsidiaries of The Ex One Company, LLC became the subsidiaries of ExOne. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ExOne, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ExOne Americas LLC (United States); ExOne GmbH (Germany); ExOne Property GmbH (Germany); ExOne KK (Japan); and through December 2018, ExOne Italy S.r.l (Italy). Collectively, the consolidated group is referred to as the “Company”.
The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-223690) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2018. The purpose of the Form S-3 was to register, among other securities, debt securities. Subsidiaries of the Company are co-registrants with the Company (“Subsidiary Guarantors”), and the registration statement registered guarantees of debt securities by one or more of the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Subsidiary Guarantors are 100% owned by the Company and any guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantors will be full and unconditional. There have been no transactions undertaken subject to the Form S-3 since its initial filing.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. The December 31, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in connection with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which includes all disclosures required by GAAP.
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make certain judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Areas that require significant judgments, estimates and assumptions include accounting for accounts receivable (including the allowance for doubtful accounts); inventories (including the allowance for slow-moving and obsolete inventories); product warranty reserves; contingencies; income taxes (including the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets and liabilities for uncertain tax positions); equity-based compensation (including the valuation of certain equity-based compensation awards issued by the Company); and testing for impairment of long-lived assets (including the identification of asset groups by management, estimates of future cash flows of identified asset groups and fair value estimates used in connection with assessing the valuation of identified asset groups). The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Certain amounts relating to contract liabilities – net of current portion ($527) in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018, have been reclassified from other noncurrent liabilities to conform to current period presentation, following the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 (further described below).
Certain amounts relating to the lessor current portion of net investment in sales-type leases ($302) and lessor net investment in sales-type leases – net of current portion ($1,351) in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018, have been reclassified from accounts receivable and other noncurrent assets, respectively, to conform to current period presentation following the adoption of FASB ASU 2016-02 (further described below).
Related to the reclassifications further described above, amounts within the condensed statement of consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 associated with these changes have also been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This ASU created a comprehensive framework for all entities in all industries to apply in the determination of when to recognize revenue and, therefore,
6
supersedes virtually all existing revenue recognition requirements and guidance. This framework is expected to provide a consistent and comparable methodology for revenue recognition. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this principle, an entity should apply the following steps: identify the contract(s) with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract(s), determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s), and recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective approach. Revenue from the Company’s sale of three-dimensional (“3D”) printing machines and 3D printed and other products, materials and services continues to generally be recognized when the related machines, products or materials are delivered or accepted by the Company’s customers or as the related services are performed by the Company. As such, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company has included the enhanced disclosures required by this guidance in its condensed consolidated financial statements (Note 5).
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” This ASU requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet for leases classified as operating leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability. Additionally, when measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, optional payments should be included only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease, exercise a purchase option, or not exercise an option to terminate the lease. A right-of-use asset represents an entity’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability represents an entity’s obligation to make lease payments. Previously, an asset and liability only were recorded for leases classified as capital leases (financing leases). The measurement, recognition, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from leases by a lessee remains the same. In connection with the adoption of this guidance, the Company has completed an assessment resulting in an accumulation of all of its leasing arrangements and has validated the information for accuracy and completeness. Upon adoption of the new lease guidance, management recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability, each in the amount of approximately $400, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for various types of operating leases, including certain machinery and other equipment and vehicles. This amount is equivalent to the aggregate future minimum lease payments on a discounted basis. The Company has also elected to apply the package of transitional practical expedients of the new lease guidance by allowing the Company to not: (1) reassess if expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases; (2) reassess lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. Additionally, in July 2018, the FASB issued guidance to provide for an alternative transition method to the new lease guidance, whereby an entity can choose to not reflect the impact of the new lease guidance in the prior periods included in its consolidated financial statements. The Company has utilized this alternative transition method in connection with its adoption on January 1, 2019. The Company has included the enhanced disclosures required by this guidance in its condensed consolidated financial statements (Note 11).
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” This ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of consolidated cash flows. The standard provides guidance in a number of situations including, among others, settlement of zero-coupon bonds, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and distributions received from equity method investees. The ASU also provides guidance for classifying cash receipts and payments that have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The adoption of this ASU did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued by the FASB. Recently issued ASUs not listed below either were assessed and determined to be not applicable or are currently expected to have no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” This ASU added a new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this ASU, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses. The CECL model applies to most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and other loan commitments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
7
The Company has incurred a net loss in each of its annual periods since its inception. As shown in the accompanying condensed statement of consolidated operations and comprehensive loss, the Company incurred a net loss of $4,844 and $13,129 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. At September 30, 2019, the Company had $4,756 in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.
Since its inception the Company has received cumulative unrestricted net proceeds from the sale of its common stock (through its initial public offering and subsequent secondary offerings) of $168,361 to fund its operations. In March 2018, the Company entered into a three-year, $15,000 revolving credit facility with a related party (Note 13) to provide additional funding for working capital and general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2019, $13,000 remained available under the related party revolving credit facility. In June 2018, the Company initiated a 2018 global cost realignment program focused on a reduction in the Company’s production overhead costs and operating expenses in an effort to drive efficiency in its operations and preserve capital.
Management believes that the Company’s existing capital resources will be sufficient to support the Company’s operating plan. If management anticipates that the Company’s actual results will differ from its operating plan, management believes it has sufficient capabilities to enact cost savings measures to preserve capital (in addition to the costs savings measures associated with the Company’s 2018 global cost realignment program further described above). The Company may also seek to raise additional capital to support its growth through additional debt, equity or other alternatives (including asset sales) or a combination thereof.

Foreign currency translation adjustments consist of the effect of translation of functional currency financial statements (denominated in the euro and Japanese yen) to the reporting currency of the Company (United States dollar) and certain long-term intercompany transactions between subsidiaries for which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future.
There were no tax impacts related to income tax rate changes and no amounts were reclassified to earnings for either of the periods presented.
Note 4. Loss Per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted loss per common share amounts. Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during the applicable period.
As the Company incurred a net loss during each of the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, basic average common shares outstanding and diluted average common shares outstanding were the same because the effect of potential shares of common stock, including stock options (828,059 – 2019 and 513,970 – 2018) and unvested restricted stock issued (66,513 – 2019 and 67,001 – 2018), was anti-dilutive.
The information used to compute basic and diluted net loss per common share was as follows for the periods indicated:

Note 5. Revenue
The Company derives revenue from the sale of 3D printing machines and 3D printed and other products, materials and services. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation(s) under a contract (either implicit or explicit) by transferring the promised product or service to a customer either when (or as) the customer obtains control of the product or service. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services. As such, revenue is recorded net of returns, allowances, customer discounts, and incentives. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net (excluded from revenue) basis. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.
Certain of the Company’s contracts with customers provide for multiple performance obligations. Sales of 3D printing machines may also include optional equipment, materials, replacement components and services (installation, training and other services, including maintenance services and/or an extended warranty). Certain other contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer products or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the Company’s best estimate of stand-alone selling price for each distinct product or service in the contract, which is generally based on an observable price.
The Company’s revenue from products is transferred to customers at a point in time. The Company’s contracts for 3D printing machines generally include substantive customer acceptance provisions. Revenue under these contracts is recognized when customer acceptance provisions have been satisfied. For all other product sales, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time in which the customer obtains control of the product, which is generally when product title passes to the customer upon delivery. In limited cases, title does not transfer and revenue is not recognized until the customer has received the products at its physical location.
The Company’s revenue from service arrangements includes deferred maintenance contracts and extended warranties that can be purchased at the customer’s option. The Company generally provides a standard one-year warranty on the Company’s 3D printing machines, which is considered an assurance type warranty, and not considered a separate performance obligation (Note 10). Revenue associated with deferred maintenance contracts is generally recognized at a point in time when the related services are performed where sufficient historical evidence indicates that the costs of performing the related services under the contract are not incurred on a straight-line basis, with such revenue recognized in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred. Revenue associated with extended warranties is generally recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the related contract period.
The Company’s revenue from service arrangements includes contracts with the federal government under fixed-fee, cost reimbursable and time and materials arrangements (certain of which may have periods of performance greater than one year). Revenue under these contracts is generally recognized over time using an input measure based upon labor hours incurred and provisional rates provided under the contracts. As such, the nature of these contracts may give rise to variable consideration, primarily based upon completion of the Company’s annual Incurred Cost Submission filing as required by the federal government. Historically, amounts associated with variable consideration have not been significant.
The Company’s revenue from service arrangements includes certain research and development services. Revenue under research and development service contracts is generally recognized over time using an output measure, specifically units or parts delivered, based upon certain customer acceptance and delivery requirements. Revenue recognized over time using an output measure is not significant.

Revenue from 3D printing machines includes leasing revenue whereby the Company is the lessor of 3D printing machines to its customers. Leasing revenue is accounted for under ASU 2016-02 (Note 11).
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and deferred revenue and customer prepayments (contract liabilities) in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company considers a number of factors in its evaluation of the creditworthiness of its customers, including past due amounts, past
9
payment history, and current economic conditions. For 3D printing machines, the Company’s terms of sale vary by transaction. To reduce credit risk in connection with 3D printing machine sales, the Company may, depending upon the circumstances, require customers to furnish letters of credit or bank guarantees or to provide advanced payment (either partial or in full). For 3D printed and other products and materials, the Company’s terms of sale generally require payment within 30 to 60 days after delivery, although the Company also recognizes that longer payment periods are customary in certain countries where it transacts business. Service arrangements are generally billed in accordance with specific contract terms and are typically billed in advance or in proportion to performance of the related services. There were no other significant changes in contract liabilities during the three months or nine months ended September 30, 2019. Contract assets are not significant.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized revenue of $1,714 related to contract liabilities at January 1, 2019.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $25,800 of remaining performance obligations (including contract liabilities), which is also referred to as backlog, of which approximately $21,700 was expected to be fulfilled during the twelve months following such date.
The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient associated with incremental costs of obtaining a contract, and as such, sales commission expense is generally expensed when incurred because the amortization period would be one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.
Accounts receivable and net investment in sales-type leases (Note 11) are reported at their net realizable value. The Company carries its investment in sales-type leases based on discounting the minimum lease payments by the interest rate implicit in the lease and less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable and net investment in sales-type leases is based on the Company’s evaluation of customer accounts with past-due outstanding balances or specific accounts for which it has information that the customer may be unable to meet its financial obligations. Based upon review of these accounts, and management’s analysis and judgment, the Company records a specific allowance for that customer’s accounts receivable or net investment in sales-type lease balance to reduce the outstanding balance to the amount expected to be collected. The allowance is re-evaluated and adjusted periodically as additional information is received that impacts the allowance amount reserved. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $481 and $225, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded net provision (recoveries) for bad debts of $414 and ($3), respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded net provision (recoveries) for bad debts of $264 and ($40), respectively.
Note 6. Restructuring
Houston, Texas
In August 2018, the Company committed to a plan to consolidate certain of its 3D printing operations from its Houston, Texas facility into its Troy, Michigan facility. These actions were taken as part of the Company’s efforts to optimize its business model and maximize its facility utilization. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a charge of $28 split between cost of sales ($15) and selling, general and administrative expense ($13) associated with involuntary employee terminations related to this plan. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded an additional charge of $1 (to cost of sales) associated with asset impairments related to this plan. There are no additional charges expected to be incurred associated with this plan in future periods. The Company settled all amounts associated with involuntary employee terminations during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
In September 2019, the Company reached agreement with a third party for the sale of certain property and equipment ($822 included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet for each of the periods presented) associated with the former Houston, Texas facility. The Company expects to receive net proceeds from the sale of the property and equipment of approximately $1,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2019 and to record a corresponding gain on the sale of approximately $200 from the disposal.
Desenzano del Garda, Italy
In December 2017, the Company committed to a plan to consolidate certain of its 3D printing operations from its Desenzano del Garda, Italy facility into its Gersthofen, Germany facility. These actions were taken as part of the Company’s efforts to optimize its business model and maximize its facility utilization. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a charge of $72 split between cost of sales ($19) and selling, general and administrative expense ($53) associated with involuntary employee terminations related to this plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded an additional charge of $245 associated with other exit costs ($17) and asset impairments ($228) related to this plan. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded an additional charge of $13 associated with asset impairments related to this plan. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a gain from disposal of certain property and equipment of $51 (recorded to cost of sales in the accompanying condensed statement of consolidated operations and comprehensive loss). Charges associated with other exit costs recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2018 were recorded to cost of sales in the
10
accompanying condensed statement of consolidated operations and comprehensive loss. Charges associated with asset impairments recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were recorded to cost of sales as a component of depreciation expense in the accompanying condensed statement of consolidated operations and comprehensive loss. Other exit costs relate to the remaining facility rent due under a non-cancellable operating lease following the cessation of operations at the facility in January 2018. Asset impairment charges relate to certain leasehold improvements associated with the exited facility and other equipment which was abandoned by the Company. There are no additional charges expected to be incurred associated with this plan in future periods. The Company settled all amounts associated with involuntary employee terminations and other exit costs (remaining facility rent payments) during 2018.
Note 7. Impairment
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, as a result of continued operating losses and cash flow deficiencies, the Company identified a triggering event requiring a test for the recoverability of long-lived assets held and used at the asset group level. Assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets held and used requires significant judgments and estimates by management.
For purposes of testing long-lived assets for recoverability, the Company operates as three separate asset groups: United States, Europe and Japan. In assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets held and used, the Company determined the carrying amount of long-lived assets held and used to be in excess of the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows of the related assets. The Company proceeded to determine the fair value of its long-lived assets held and used, principally through use of the market approach. The Company’s use of the market approach included consideration of market transactions for comparable assets. Management concluded that the fair value of long-lived assets held and used exceeded their carrying value, and as such, no impairment loss was recorded.
A significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset, adverse change in the use or condition of a long-lived asset, adverse change in the business climate or legal or regulatory factors impacting a long-lived asset and continued operating losses and cash flow deficiencies associated with a long-lived asset, among other indicators, could cause a future assessment to be performed which may result in an impairment of long-lived assets held and used, resulting in a material adverse effect on the financial position and results of operations of the Company.

of completion. Finished goods consist of 3D printing machines and other products prepared for sale in accordance with customer specifications.
At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the allowance for slow-moving and obsolete inventories was $3,684 and $4,143, respectively, and has been reflected as a reduction to inventories (principally raw materials and components).
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a charge of $561 to cost of sales in the accompanying condensed statement of consolidated operations and comprehensive loss attributable to certain industrial microwave inventories based on a sustained absence of demand for such curing solutions and a decision by the Company to discontinue future manufacturing of such industrial microwaves.
Note 10. Product Warranty Reserves
Substantially all of the Company’s 3D printing machines are covered by a standard twelve-month warranty. Generally, at the time of sale, a liability is recorded (with an offset to cost of sales) based upon the expected cost of replacement parts and labor to be incurred over the life of the standard warranty. Expected cost is estimated using historical experience for similar products. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of the product warranty reserves based on changes in these factors and records any necessary adjustments if actual experience indicates that adjustments are necessary. Future claims experience could be materially different from prior results because of the introduction of new, more complex products, a change in the Company’s warranty policy in response to industry trends, competition or other external forces, or manufacturing changes that could impact product quality. In the event that the Company determines that its current or future product repair and replacement costs exceed estimates, an adjustment to these reserves would be charged to cost of sales in the period such a determination is made.
The following table summarizes changes in product warranty reserves, which amounts were reflected in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet for the periods indicated:

Note 11. Leases
Lessee
The Company leases machinery and other equipment and vehicles under operating lease arrangements (with initial terms greater than twelve months), expiring in various years through 2026. In addition, the Company leases certain equipment and vehicles under finance (previously capital) lease arrangements, which are not significant.
For all operating lease arrangements (with the exception of short-term lease arrangements), the Company presents at the commencement date: a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.
The Company has elected, as a practical expedient, not to separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead account for each separate component as a single lease component for all lease arrangements, as lessee. In addition, the Company has elected, as a practical expedient, not to apply lease recognition requirements to short-term lease arrangements, generally those with a lease term of less than twelve months, for all classes of underlying assets. In determination of the lease term, the Company considers the likelihood of lease renewal options and lease termination provisions. As a result, lease payments under these short-term lease arrangements are recognized in the accompanying condensed statement of consolidated operations and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments, as the implicit rate of the lease arrangements is generally not readily determinable.
Through July 2019, certain of the Company’s operating lease arrangements were with related parties under common control (Note 18). Lease cost under operating lease agreements with related parties, included within short-term lease cost below, was $4 and $28 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Lessor
The Company leases machinery and equipment to customers (principally 3D printing machines and related equipment) under lease arrangements classified as either operating leases or sales-type leases. The Company’s operating lease arrangements have initial terms generally ranging from one to five years, certain of which may contain extension or termination clauses, or both. Such operating lease arrangements also generally include a purchase option to acquire the related machinery and equipment at the end of the lease term for either a fixed amount as determined at inception, or a subsequently negotiated fair market value. At September 30, 2019, the Company estimated that the total fair market value significantly exceeded the related net book value of the machinery and equipment held under the Company’s operating lease arrangements. The Company’s sales-type lease arrangements generally include transfer of ownership at the end of the lease term, and as such, the Company’s net investment in sale-type lease arrangements presented in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet generally does not include an amount of unguaranteed residual value.
The Company has elected, as a practical expedient, not to separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead account for each separate component as a single lease component for all lease arrangements, as lessor. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net (excluded from lease income) basis. In determination of the lease term, the Company considers the likelihood of lease renewal options and lease termination provisions. Additionally, certain of the Company’s lease arrangements do not qualify as sale-type leases as collectability is not reasonably assured.

Note 12. Contingencies and Commitments
Contingencies
On March 1, 2018, the Company’s ExOne GmbH subsidiary notified Voxeljet AG that it had materially breached a 2003 Patent and Know-How Transfer Agreement and asserted its rights to set-off damages as a result of the breaches against the annual license fee due from the Company under the agreement. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a contingency, if any, related to this matter.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various litigation, claims, and proceedings which have been or may be instituted or asserted from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of any pending or threatened matters will have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
Commitments
In the normal course of its operations, ExOne GmbH issues short-term financial guarantees and letters of credit to third parties in connection with certain commercial transactions requiring security. ExOne GmbH maintains a credit facility with a German bank which provides for various short-term financings in the form of overdraft credit, financial guarantees, letters of credit and collateral security for commercial transactions for an aggregate of approximately $1,400 (€1,300). In addition, ExOne GmbH may use the credit facility for short-term, fixed-rate loans in minimum increments of approximately $100 (€100) with minimum terms of at least 30 days. The overdraft credit interest rate is fixed at 10.2% while the interest rate associated with commercial transactions requiring security (financial guarantees, letters of credit or collateral security) is fixed at 1.75%. The credit facility has an indefinite term and is subject to cancellation by either party at any time upon repayment of amounts outstanding or expiration of commercial transactions requiring security. There is no commitment fee associated with the credit facility. There are no negative covenants associated with the credit facility. The credit facility has been guaranteed by the Company. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no outstanding borrowings in the form of overdraft credit or short-term loans under the credit facility. At September 30, 2019, total outstanding financial guarantees and letters of credit issued by ExOne GmbH under the credit facility were $857 (€785) with expiration dates ranging from October 2019 through March 2020. At December 31, 2018, total outstanding financial guarantees and letters of credit issued by ExOne GmbH under the credit facility were $1,044 (€912).
In addition to amounts issued by ExOne GmbH under the credit facility, from time to time, ExOne GmbH enters into separate agreements with the same German bank for additional capacity for financial guarantees and letters of credit associated with certain commercial transactions requiring security. Terms of the separate agreements are substantially similar to those of the existing credit facility. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, ExOne GmbH had a singular financial guarantee outstanding under a separate agreement for $87 (€80) and $96 (€80), respectively, with an expiration date of February 2023. Related to this separate agreement, the requirement for cash collateral was waived by the German bank as it also represents the counterparty in the related transaction.
Note 13. Related Party Revolving Credit Facility
On March 12, 2018, ExOne and its ExOne Americas LLC and ExOne GmbH subsidiaries, as guarantors (collectively, the “Loan Parties”), entered into a Credit Agreement and related ancillary agreements with LBM Holdings, LLC (“LBM”), a company controlled by S. Kent Rockwell, who was the Executive Chairman of the Company (a related party) at such date and is currently Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, relating to a $15,000 revolving credit facility (the “LBM Credit Agreement”) to provide additional funding for working capital and general corporate purposes. The LBM Credit Agreement provides for a term of three years (through March 12, 2021) and bears interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 500 basis points (7.0% and 7.5% at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively). The LBM Credit Agreement requires a commitment fee of 75 basis points, or 0.75%, on the unused portion of the facility, payable monthly in arrears. In addition, an up-front commitment fee of 125 basis points, or 1.25% ($188), was required at closing. Borrowings under the LBM Credit Agreement are required to be in minimum increments of $1,000. ExOne may terminate or reduce the credit commitment at any time during the term of the LBM Credit Agreement without penalty. ExOne may also make prepayments against outstanding borrowings under the LBM Credit Agreement at any time without penalty. Borrowings under the LBM Credit Agreement have been collateralized by the accounts receivable, inventories and machinery and equipment of the Loan Parties. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the total estimated value of collateral was in significant excess of the maximum borrowing capacity under the LBM Credit Agreement.
The LBM Credit Agreement contains several affirmative covenants including prompt payment of liabilities and taxes; maintenance of insurance, properties, and licenses; and compliance with laws. The LBM Credit Agreement also contains several negative covenants including restricting the incurrence of certain additional debt; prohibiting future liens (other than permitted liens); prohibiting investment in third parties; limiting the ability to pay dividends; limiting mergers, acquisitions, and dispositions; and limiting the sale of certain property and equipment of the Loan Parties. The LBM Credit Agreement does not contain any financial
15
covenants. The LBM Credit Agreement also contains events of default, including, but not limited to, cross-default to certain other debt, breaches of representations and warranties, change of control events and breaches of covenants.
LBM was determined to be a related party based on common control by S. Kent Rockwell. Accordingly, the Company does not consider the LBM Credit Agreement indicative of a fair market value lending. Prior to execution, the LBM Credit Agreement was reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board and subsequently by a sub-committee of independent members of the Board. At the time of execution of the LBM Credit Agreement, the $15,000 in available loan proceeds was deposited into an escrow account with an unrelated, third party financial institution acting as escrow agent pursuant to a separate Escrow Agreement by and among the parties. Loan proceeds held in escrow are available to the Company upon its submission to the escrow agent of a loan request. Such proceeds will not be available to LBM until payment in-full of the obligations under the LBM Credit Agreement and termination of the LBM Credit Agreement. Payments of principal and other obligations will be made to the escrow agent, while interest payments will be made directly to LBM. Provided there exists no potential default or event of default, the LBM Credit Agreement and Escrow Agreement prohibit any acceleration of repayment of any amount outstanding under the LBM Credit Agreement and prohibit termination of the LBM Credit Agreement or withdrawal from escrow of any unused portion of the available loan proceeds under the credit facility, by LBM.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company borrowed $2,000 under the LBM Credit Agreement which remained outstanding at September 30, 2019. There were no borrowings by the Company under the LBM Credit Agreement during any period prior to the three months ended September 30, 2019 from its inception (March 12, 2018).
The Company incurred $265 in debt issuance costs associated with the LBM Credit Agreement (including the aforementioned up front commitment fee paid at closing to LBM).
During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded interest expense relating to the LBM Credit Agreement of $65 and $165, respectively. Included in interest expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $22 and $66, respectively, associated with amortization of debt issuance costs. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, remaining debt issuance costs were $129 and $195, respectively (of which $88 was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets for both periods and $41 and $107, respectively, was included in other noncurrent assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet). Also included in interest expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $43 and $99, respectively, associated with interest on borrowings and the commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $20 and $10, respectively, was included in accounts payable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts payable to LBM at September 30, 2019 and December 2018 were settled by the Company in October 2019 and January 2019, respectively.
During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded interest expense relating to the LBM Credit Agreement of $51 and $110, respectively.
Note 14. Income Taxes
The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $15 and $17, respectively. The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was ($686) and $52, respectively. The Company has completed a discrete period computation of its provision (benefit) for income taxes for each of the periods presented. The discrete period computation was required as a result of jurisdictions with losses before income taxes for which no tax benefit can be recognized and an inability to generate reliable estimates for results in certain jurisdictions as a result of inconsistencies in generating net operating profits (losses) in those jurisdictions.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 0.3% (provision on a loss) and 5.6% (provision on a loss), respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 5.0% (benefit on a loss) and 0.4% (provision on a loss), respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the effective tax rate differs from the United States federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to net changes in valuation allowances for the periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the effective tax rate differs from the United States federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the reversal of previously recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions (further described below) and net changes in valuation allowances for the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the effective tax rate differs from the United States federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to net changes in valuation allowances for the periods.
The Company has provided a valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets as a result of the Company not generating consistent net operating profits in jurisdictions in which it operates. As such, any benefit from deferred taxes in any of the periods presented has been fully offset by changes in the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets. The Company continues to assess its future taxable income by jurisdiction based on recent historical operating results, the expected timing of reversal of temporary differences, various tax planning strategies that the Company may be able to enact in future periods, the impact of potential operating changes on the business and forecast results from operations in future periods based on available information at the end of each reporting period. To the extent that the Company is able to reach the conclusion that its net deferred tax assets are realizable based on any combination of
16
the above factors in a single, or in multiple, taxing jurisdictions, a reversal of the related portion of the Company’s existing valuation allowances may occur.
The Company has a liability for uncertain tax positions related to certain intercompany transactions.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits (including accrued interest and penalties) was as follows for the periods indicated:

The Company includes interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of the provision (benefit) for income taxes in the accompanying condensed statement of consolidated operations and comprehensive loss. There were no such interest or penalties included in the provision (benefit) for income taxes for any of the periods presented.
At December 31, 2018, there was $820 in unrecognized tax benefits (including accrued interest and penalties) that if recognized would affect the annual effective tax rate. Such amounts were included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018. There were no such unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2019.
At December 31, 2018, the Company’s ExOne GmbH (2010-2013) and ExOne Property GmbH (2013) subsidiaries were under examination by local taxing authorities in Germany. In January 2019, this examination was concluded by the local taxing authorities in Germany without significant adjustment to previously established tax positions. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded a reversal of certain of its previously recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $1,075, of which $257 was offset against net operating loss carryforwards.
Note 15. Equity-Based Compensation
On January 24, 2013, the Board adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). In connection with the adoption of the Plan, 500,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan, with automatic increases in such reserve available each year annually on January 1 from 2014 through 2023 equal to the lesser of 3.0% of the total outstanding shares of common stock as of December 31 of the immediately preceding year, or a number of shares of common stock determined by the Board, provided that the maximum number of shares authorized under the Plan could not exceed 1,992,241 shares, subject to certain adjustments. The maximum number of shares authorized under the Plan was reached on January 1, 2017. At September 30, 2019, 654,134 shares remained available for future issuance under the Plan.
Stock options and restricted stock issued by the Company under the Plan are generally subject to service conditions resulting in annual vesting on the anniversary of the date of grant over a period typically ranging between one and three years. Certain stock options and restricted stock issued by the Company under the Plan vest immediately upon issuance. Stock options issued by the Company under the Plan have contractual lives which expire over a period typically ranging between five and ten years from the date of grant subject to continued service to the Company by the participant.
On February 7, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board adopted the 2018 Annual Incentive Program (the “2018 Program”) as a subplan under the Plan. The 2018 Program provided an opportunity for performance-based compensation to senior executive officers of the Company, among others. The target annual incentive for each 2018 Program participant was expressed as a percentage of base salary and was conditioned on the achievement of certain financial goals (as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board) or a combination of financial and non-financial goals. The Compensation Committee of the Board retained negative discretion over amounts payable under the 2018 Program.
On February 6, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board adopted the 2019 Annual Incentive Program (the “2019 Program”) as a subplan under the Plan. The 2019 Program provided an opportunity for performance-based compensation to senior executive officers of the Company, among others. The target annual incentive for each 2019 Program participant was expressed as a percentage of base salary and was conditioned on the achievement of certain financial goals (as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board) or a combination of financial and non-financial goals. The Compensation Committee of the Board retained negative discretion over amounts payable under the 2019 Program. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a net
17
reversal of $376 to equity-based compensation expense based on a change in the estimated outcome of the defined financial goals for 2019 under the 2019 Program.
The following table summarizes the total equity-based compensation expense recognized by the Company for the periods indicated:

For certain stock option awards in which the expected term of the award is less than the period for which the Company has been publicly traded, volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of the Company. For certain stock option awards in which the expected term of the award exceeds the period for which the Company has been publicly traded, volatility is estimated based on the historical volatilities of certain peer group companies. The average risk-free rate is based on a weighted average yield curve of risk-free interest rates consistent with the expected term of the awards. Expected dividend yield is based on historical dividend data as well as future expectations. Expected term is calculated using the simplified method as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise experience upon which to base an estimate.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company made cash payments for taxes of $68 relating to the net settlement of certain equity-based awards. There were no cash payments for taxes or net settlement of equity-based awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Note 16. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.
19
The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 |
|
Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Company has the ability to access. |
|
|
|
Level 2 |
|
Inputs include: |
|
|
|
|
|
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
|
|
|
|
|
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; |
|
|
|
|
|
Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
|
|
|
|
|
Inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means. |
|
|
|
Level 3 |
|
Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The Company is required to disclose its estimate of the fair value of material financial instruments, including those recorded as assets or liabilities in its consolidated financial statements, in accordance with GAAP.
At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no financial instruments (assets or liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The carrying values and fair values of other financial instruments (assets and liabilities) not required to be recorded at fair value were as follows as of the dates indicated:

(b) |
Carrying values at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $21 and $25, respectively. |
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and current portion of long-term debt approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of long-term debt – net of current portion has been estimated by management based on the consideration of applicable interest rates (including certain instruments at variable or floating rates) and other available information (including quoted prices of similar instruments available to the Company). Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were classified as Level 1; Current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt – net of current portion were classified as Level 2.
Note 17. Concentration of Credit Risk
During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company conducted a significant portion of its business with a limited number of customers, though not necessarily the same customers for each respective period. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s five most significant customers represented 30.2% and 34.6% of total revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s five most significant customers represented 23.8% and 17.9% of total revenue, respectively. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, accounts receivable from the Company’s five most significant customers were $638 and $2,344, respectively.
Note 18. Related Party Transactions
Purchases of products and/or services from related parties during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, were $5 and $4, respectively. Purchases of products and/or services from related parties during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, were $63 and $16, respectively. Purchases of products and/or services by the Company during each of the respective periods primarily included website design services and leased office space (through July 2019) from related parties under common control by S. Kent Rockwell (currently the Chairman of the Board of the Company and previously the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive
20
Officer of the Company). Also included in purchases of products and/or services by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was the purchase of a 3D printing machine and certain ancillary equipment for $30 from an educational institution determined to be a related party on the basis that S. Kent Rockwell serves as a trustee of the educational institution.
None of the transactions met a threshold requiring review and approval by the Audit Committee of the Board.
Amounts due to related parties associated with the purchase of products and/or services at December 31, 2018 were $1 and are reflected in accounts payable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. There were no amounts due to related parties associated with the purchase of products and/or services at September 30, 2019.

In addition to items described under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, the following factors, among others, could cause results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: our ability to consistently generate operating profits; fluctuations in our revenue and operating results; our competitive environment and our competitive position; our ability to enhance our current 3D printing machines and technology and develop new 3D printing machines; delays in customer capital equipment spending due to macroeconomic factors; our ability to qualify more industrial materials in which we can print; demand for our products; the availability of skilled personnel; the impact of loss of key management; the impact of market conditions and other factors on the carrying value of long-lived assets; our ability to continue as a going concern; the impact of customer specific terms in machine sale agreements on the period in which we recognize revenue; risks related to global operations including effects of foreign currency; the adequacy of sources of liquidity; the amount and sufficiency of funds for required capital expenditures, working capital, and debt service; dependency on certain critical suppliers; nature or impact of alliances and strategic investments; reliance on critical information technology systems; the effect of litigation, contingencies and warranty claims; liabilities under laws and regulations protecting the environment; the impact of governmental laws and regulations; operating hazards, war, terrorism and cancellation or unavailability of insurance coverage; the impact of disruption of our manufacturing facilities or ExOne Adoption Centers (“EACs”); the adequacy of our protection of our intellectual property; and expectations regarding demand for our industrial products, operating revenue, operating and maintenance expenses, insurance expenses and deductibles, interest expenses, debt levels, and other matters with regard to outlook.
Overview
Our Business
We are a global provider of 3D printing machines and 3D printed and other products, materials and services to industrial customers. Our business primarily consists of manufacturing and selling 3D printing machines and printing products to specification for our customers using our installed base of 3D printing machines. Our machines serve direct and indirect applications. Direct printing produces a component; indirect printing makes a tool to produce a component. We offer pre-production collaboration and print products for customers through our network of EACs. We also supply the associated materials, including consumables and replacement parts, and other services, including training and technical support, that are necessary for purchasers of our 3D printing machines to print products. We believe that our ability to print in a variety of industrial materials, as well as our industry-leading volumetric output (as measured by build box size and printing speed), uniquely position us to serve the needs of industrial customers.
Outlook
We plan to grow our market leading position with respect to 3D printing solutions for customers and continue advancing our innovations in direct and indirect printing, principally through an expansion of our fine powder (less than 20 micron) direct printing capabilities and development activities associated with large format direct and indirect 3D printing machines. Our focus continues to be industrial markets for utilization of binder jetting technologies for non-polymer based materials. Our strength in industrial markets is rooted in our diverse material capabilities, our lower cost of adoption versus other competing technologies, our faster printing speeds and our scalability to larger product size.
22
At September 30, 2019, our backlog was approximately $25,800 of which approximately $21,700 was expected to be fulfilled during the twelve months following such date. At December 31, 2018, our backlog was approximately $12,300.
Seasonality
Purchases of our 3D printing machines are often subject to the capital expenditure cycles of our customers. Generally, 3D printing machine sales are higher in our third and fourth quarters than in our first and second quarters; however, as acceptance of our 3D printing machines as a credible alternative to traditional methods of production grows, we expect to limit the seasonality we experience.
Results of Operations
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $4,844, or $0.30 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $323 or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was $13,129, or $0.81 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $14,745 or $0.91 per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
The increase in our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 was principally due to a reduction in our revenues and gross profit, as well as the absence of a gain from an insurance recovery for a 3D printing machine damaged by a third party freight company while in transit (all changes further described below).
The decrease in our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was principally due to a decrease in our operating expenses (research and development and selling, general and administrative expense) mostly due to our 2018 global cost realignment program and a tax benefit associated with the reversal of previously recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions, offset by a reduction in our revenues and gross profit and the absence of the aforementioned gain from an insurance recovery (all changes further described below).

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $10,884, compared with revenue of $16,589 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $5,705, or 34.4%. The decrease in revenue resulted from a decrease in revenue attributable to our 3D printing machines product group, offset by an increase in revenue attributable to our 3D printed and other products, materials and services product group. The decrease in revenues from 3D printing machines resulted from a lower volume of units sold (nine 3D printing machines sold during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 15 3D printing machines sold during the three months ended September 30, 2018), and an unfavorable mix of machines sold, with a greater share of direct printers sold as compared to indirect printers (such indirect printers generally bearing a higher average selling price as compared to direct printers). The increase in revenues from 3D printed and other products, materials and services principally resulted from an increase in aftermarket sales (maintenance services and replacement components) based on an increased global installed base of 3D printing machines offset by a decrease in materials (mostly due to reductions in pricing).
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was $35,742 compared with revenue of $39,339 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $3,597, or 9.1%. The decrease in revenue resulted from a decrease in revenue attributable to both of our product groups. The decrease in revenues from 3D printing machines resulted from a lower average selling price of units sold (primarily due to the mix of 3D printing machines sold), offset by a slightly higher volume of units sold (30 3D printing machines sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 28 3D printing machines sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2018). The decrease in revenues from 3D printed and other products, materials and services principally resulted from a decrease in revenues from our direct EAC printing operations (mostly due to the timing of orders from a key customer), indirect EAC printing operations (mostly due to lower volumes of printed products and the impact of our exit of our Houston, Texas facility in August 2018, such facility contributing approximately $900 in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2018) and
23
materials (mostly due to reductions in pricing based on external competition) offset by an increase in aftermarket sales based on an increased global installed base of 3D printing machines. Revenue was also impacted by approximately $700 due to unfavorable exchange rates (principally the euro versus the United States dollar) during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $8,006, compared with cost of sales of $10,016 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $2,010, or 20.1%. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $2,878, compared with gross profit of $6,573 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Gross profit percentage was 26.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared with 39.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in our gross profit was primarily due to a decrease in our volume of products sold resulting in a reduction in leverage of our fixed cost base.
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $25,080, compared with cost of sales of $28,560 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $3,480, or 12.2%. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $10,662, compared with gross profit of $10,779 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Gross profit percentage was 29.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared with 27.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in our gross profit was primarily due to a decrease in our volume of products sold resulting in a reduction in leverage of our fixed cost base and net negative experience related to product warranties of $367. These decreases were offset by cost savings associated with our 2018 global cost realignment program (primarily costs associated with our former Houston, Texas facility). In addition, we realized net benefits in cost of sales relating to a reduction in net charges associated with slow-moving, obsolete and lower of cost or net realizable value inventories of $873 (principally due to the $561 charge associated with our industrial microwave inventories recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2018) and the absence of $223 in exit costs associated with our Desenzano del Garda, Italy and Houston, Texas facility consolidations.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $2,430, compared with research and development expenses of $2,444 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $14, or 0.6%. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to decreases in amounts expected to be awarded under our 2019 Program of $47 based on a change in the estimated outcome of the defined financial goals for 2019 under the 2019 Program. This decrease was offset by an increase in material costs and consulting and professional fees of $22, primarily associated with our development of the X1 25PROTM direct 3D printing machine and S-MAX PROTM indirect 3D printing machine.
Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, were $7,399 compared with research and development expenses of $8,474 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $1,075, or 12.7%. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to decreases in employee-related costs (principally salaries and benefits) of $353 and consulting and professional fees of $841 (both reductions primarily as a result of our 2018 global cost realignment program) and a decrease in amounts expected to be awarded under our 2019 Program of $87. These decreases were offset by an increase in material costs of $238, primarily associated with our development of the X1 25PROTM direct 3D printing machine and S-MAX PROTM indirect 3D printing machine.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $5,326, compared with selling, general and administrative expenses of $5,200 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $126, or 2.4%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was principally due to a net provision for bad debts of $414 during the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to net recoveries of $2 during the three months ended September 30, 2018. The net provision for bad debts recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2019 included a specific customer provision of $416 associated with a leasing arrangement based on deterioration in credit quality of the lessee. This increase was offset by a decrease of $239 associated with a reduction in equity-based compensation and other amounts expected to be awarded under our 2019 Program based on a change in the estimated outcome of the defined financial goals for 2019 under the 2019 Program.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $16,916, compared with selling, general and administrative expenses of $17,755 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $839, or 4.7%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was principally due to a decrease in employee-related costs (salaries and benefits) of $1,524 (including $708 in employee termination costs associated with the change in our Chief Executive Officer and our 2018 global cost realignment program, recorded during the three months ended June 2018) and $240 of amounts expected to be awarded under our 2019 Program. These decreases were offset by increases associated with equity-based compensation of $675 (principally associated with changes in executive management), net provision for bad debts of $304 (further discussed above) and selling costs (sales promotion, trade show and external commissions) of $222, primarily associated with our investment in the GIFA international foundry show in Dusseldorf, Germany (a once every four-year event).
24
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $85, compared with interest expense of $73 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $12, or 16.4%. The increase in interest expense was principally due to interest incurred in connection with our related party revolving credit facility ($65 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $51 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018) based on borrowings of $2,000 under the related party revolving credit facility during the three months ended September 30, 2019. There were no such borrowings during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $227, compared with interest expense of $179 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $48, or 26.8%. The increase in interest expense was principally due to interest incurred in connection with our related party revolving credit facility entered into on March 12, 2018 ($165 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, including interest expense associated with the aforementioned borrowings during the three months ended September 30, 2019 further discussed above, as compared to $110 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018).
Other Income – Net
Other income – net for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $134, compared with other income – net of $838 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Other income – net for the three months ended September 30, 2019 includes $136 in net foreign exchange gains on commercial transactions and certain intercompany transactions between subsidiaries either settled or planned for settlement in the foreseeable future (principally due to the appreciation of the United States dollar against the euro). Other income – net for the three months ended September 30, 2018 includes $39 in net foreign exchange gains on commercial transactions and certain intercompany transactions between subsidiaries either settled or planned for settlement in the foreseeable future (principally due to the appreciation of the United States dollar against the euro) and $819 of a realized gain associated with an insurance recovery for a 3D printing machine damaged by a third party freight company while in transit.
Other income – net for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $65, compared with other income – net of $936 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Other income – net for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes $85 in net foreign exchange gains on commercial transactions and certain intercompany transactions between subsidiaries either settled or planned for settlement in the foreseeable future (principally due to the appreciation of the United States dollar against the euro). Other income – net for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes $138 in net foreign exchange gains on commercial transactions and certain intercompany transactions between subsidiaries either settled or planned for settlement in the foreseeable future (principally due to the appreciation of the United States dollar against the euro) and $819 of a realized gain associated with an insurance recovery for a 3D printing machine damaged by a third party freight company while in transit.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $15 and $17, respectively. The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was ($686) and $52, respectively. We have completed a discrete period computation of our provision (benefit) for income taxes for each of the periods presented. The discrete period computation was required as a result of jurisdictions with losses before income taxes for which no tax benefit can be recognized and an inability to generate reliable estimates for results in certain jurisdictions as a result of inconsistencies in generating net operating profits (losses) in those jurisdictions.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 0.3% (provision on a loss) and 5.6% (provision on a loss), respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 5.0% (benefit on a loss) and 0.4% (provision on a loss), respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the effective tax rate differs from the United States federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to net changes in valuation allowances for the periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the effective tax rate differs from the United States federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the reversal of previously recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions (further described below) and net changes in valuation allowances for the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the effective tax rate differs from the United States federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to net changes in valuation allowances for the periods.
We have provided a valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets as a result of our inability to generate consistent net operating profits in jurisdictions in which we operate. As such, any benefit from deferred taxes in any of the periods presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements has been fully offset by changes in the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets. We continue to assess our future taxable income by jurisdiction based on our recent historical operating results, the expected timing of reversal of temporary differences, various tax planning strategies that we may be able to enact in future periods, the impact of potential operating changes on our business and our forecast results from operations in future periods based on available information at the end of each reporting period. To the extent that we are able to reach the conclusion that net deferred tax assets are realizable based on any combination of the above factors in a single, or multiple, taxing jurisdictions, a reversal of the related portion of our existing valuation allowances may occur.
25
At December 31, 2018, our ExOne GmbH (2010-2013) and ExOne Property GmbH (2013) subsidiaries were under examination by local taxing authorities in Germany. In January 2019, this examination was concluded by the local taxing authorities in Germany without significant adjustment to previously established tax positions. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded a reversal of certain of our previously recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $1,075, of which $257 was offset against net operating loss carryforwards.
Restructuring
In August 2018, we committed to a plan to consolidate certain of our 3D printing operations from our Houston, Texas facility into our Troy, Michigan facility. These actions were taken as part of our efforts to optimize our business model and maximize our facility utilization. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a charge of $28 split between cost of sales ($15) and selling, general and administrative expense ($13) associated with involuntary employee terminations related to this plan. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded an additional charge of $1 (to cost of sales) associated with asset impairments related to this plan. There are no additional charges expected to be incurred associated with this plan in future periods. We settled all amounts associated with involuntary employee terminations during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
The consolidation of our 3D printing operations from our Houston, Texas facility into our Troy, Michigan facility is expected to result in a reduction in our annual revenues of approximately $1,400. Revenues associated with our Houston, Texas facility were $153 and $944 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018. We expect annualized cost savings related to this consolidation of approximately $1,800, with approximately $1,600 in the form of cash cost savings (principally employee-related and other operating costs) and approximately $200 in the form of reduced depreciation expense. Cost savings associated with the exit of this facility are expected to benefit cost of sales by approximately $1,600 and selling, general and administrative expenses by approximately $200. We expect to invest these cost savings into technological or process advancements that support either long-term cost benefits or revenue growth.
In September 2019, we reached agreement with a third party for the sale of certain property and equipment ($822 included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet for each of the periods presented) associated with the former Houston, Texas facility. We expect to receive net proceeds from the sale of the property and equipment of approximately $1,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2019 and to record a corresponding gain on the sale of approximately $200 from the disposal.
In December 2017, we committed to a plan to consolidate certain of our 3D printing operations from our Desenzano del Garda, Italy facility into our Gersthofen, Germany facility. These actions were taken as part of our efforts to optimize our business model and maximize our facility utilization. As a result of these actions, during the three months ended December 31, 2017, we recorded a charge of $72 split between cost of sales ($19) and selling, general and administrative expense ($53) associated with involuntary employee terminations related to this plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded an additional charge of $245 associated with other exit costs ($17) and asset impairments ($228) related to this plan. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded an additional charge of $13 associated with asset impairments related to this plan. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a gain from disposal of certain property and equipment of $51 (recorded to cost of sales in the accompanying condensed statement of consolidated operations and comprehensive loss). Charges associated with other exit costs recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2018 were recorded to cost of sales in the accompanying condensed statement of consolidated operations and comprehensive loss. Charges associated with asset impairments recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were recorded to cost of sales as a component of depreciation expense in the accompanying condensed statement of consolidated operations and comprehensive loss. Other exit costs relate to the remaining facility rent due under a non-cancellable operating lease following the cessation of operations at the facility in January 2018. Asset impairment charges relate to certain leasehold improvements associated with the exited facility and other equipment which we abandoned. There are no additional charges expected to be incurred associated with this plan in future periods. We settled all amounts associated with involuntary employee terminations and other exit costs (remaining facility rent payments) during 2018.
The consolidation of our 3D printing operations from our Desenzano del Garda, Italy facility into our Gersthofen, Germany facility is not expected to have a significant impact on our revenues in future periods. We expect annualized cost savings related to this consolidation of approximately $875, with approximately $600 in the form of cash cost savings (principally employee-related and other operating costs) and approximately $275 in the form of reduced depreciation expense. Cost savings associated with the exit of this facility are expected to benefit cost of sales by approximately $625 and selling, general and administrative expenses by approximately $250. We expect to invest these cost savings into technological or process advancements that support either long-term cost benefits or revenue growth.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, as a result of continued operating losses and cash flow deficiencies, we identified a triggering event requiring a test for the recoverability of long-lived assets held and used at the asset group level. Assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets held and used requires significant judgments and estimates by management.

For purposes of testing long-lived assets for recoverability, we operate as three separate asset groups: United States, Europe and Japan. In assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets held and used, we determined the carrying amount of long-lived assets held and used to be in excess of the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows of the related assets. We proceeded to determine the fair value of our long-lived assets held and used, principally through use of the market approach. Our use of the market approach included consideration of market transactions for comparable assets. Management concluded that the fair value of long-lived assets held and used exceeded their carrying value and as such no impairment loss was recorded.
A significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset, adverse change in the use or condition of a long-lived asset, adverse change in the business climate or legal or regulatory factors impacting a long-lived asset and continued operating losses and cash flow deficiencies associated with a long-lived asset, among other indicators, could cause a future assessment to be performed which may result in an impairment of long-lived assets held and used, resulting in a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
Impact of Inflation
Our results of operations and financial condition are presented based on historical cost. While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our results of operations and financial condition are not significant.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
We have incurred a net loss in each of our annual periods since our inception. In addition, we incurred a net loss of $4,844 and $13,129 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. At September 30, 2019, we had $4,756 in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.
We have received cumulative unrestricted net proceeds from the sale of our common stock (through our initial public offering and subsequent secondary offerings) of $168,361 to fund our operations. In March 2018, we entered into a three-year, $15,000 revolving credit facility with a related party (further described below) to provide additional funding for working capital and general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2019, $13,000 remained available under the related party revolving credit facility. In June 2018, we initiated a 2018 global cost realignment program focused on a reduction in our production overhead costs and operating expenses in an effort to drive efficiency in our operations and preserve capital.
We believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to support our operating plan. If we anticipate that our actual results will differ from our operating plan, we believe we have sufficient capabilities to enact cost savings measures to preserve capital (in addition to the costs savings measures associated with our 2018 global cost realignment program further described above). We may also seek to raise additional capital to support our growth through additional debt, equity or other alternatives (including asset sales) or a combination thereof.
Related Party Revolving Credit Facility
On March 12, 2018, we and our ExOne Americas LLC and ExOne GmbH subsidiaries, as guarantors (collectively, the “Loan Parties”), entered into a Credit Agreement and related ancillary agreements with LBM Holdings, LLC (“LBM”), a company controlled by S. Kent Rockwell, who was our Executive Chairman (a related party) at such date and is currently Chairman of our Board of Directors (the “Board”), relating to a $15,000 revolving credit facility (the “LBM Credit Agreement”) to provide additional funding for working capital and general corporate purposes. The LBM Credit Agreement provides for a term of three years (through March 12, 2021) and bears interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 500 basis points (7.0% and 7.5% at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively). The LBM Credit Agreement requires a commitment fee of 75 basis points, or 0.75%, on the unused portion of the facility, payable monthly in arrears. In addition, an up-front commitment fee of 125 basis points, or 1.25% ($188), was required at closing. Borrowings under the LBM Credit Agreement are required to be in minimum increments of $1,000. We may terminate or reduce the credit commitment at any time during the term of the LBM Credit Agreement without penalty. We may also make prepayments against outstanding borrowings under the LBM Credit Agreement at any time without penalty. Borrowings under the LBM Credit Agreement have been collateralized by the accounts receivable, inventories and machinery and equipment of the Loan Parties. At inception and September 30, 2019 the total estimated value of collateral was in significant excess of the maximum borrowing capacity under the LBM Credit Agreement.
The LBM Credit Agreement contains several affirmative covenants including prompt payment of liabilities and taxes; maintenance of insurance, properties, and licenses; and compliance with laws. The LBM Credit Agreement also contains several negative covenants including restricting the incurrence of certain additional debt; prohibiting future liens (other than permitted liens); prohibiting investment in third parties; limiting the ability to pay dividends; limiting mergers, acquisitions, and dispositions; and limiting the sale of certain property and equipment of the Loan Parties. The LBM Credit Agreement does not contain any financial
27
covenants. The LBM Credit Agreement also contains events of default, including, but not limited to, cross-default to certain other debt, breaches of representations and warranties, change of control events and breaches of covenants.
LBM was determined to be a related party based on common control by S. Kent Rockwell. Accordingly, we do not consider the LBM Credit Agreement indicative of a fair market value lending. Prior to execution, the LBM Credit Agreement was reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board and subsequently by a sub-committee of independent members of the Board. At the time of execution of the LBM Credit Agreement, the $15,000 in available loan proceeds was deposited into an escrow account with an unrelated, third party financial institution acting as escrow agent pursuant to a separate Escrow Agreement by and among the parties. Loan proceeds held in escrow are available to us upon our submission to the escrow agent of a loan request. Such proceeds will not be available to LBM until payment in-full of the obligations under the LBM Credit Agreement and termination of the LBM Credit Agreement. Payments of principal and other obligations will be made to the escrow agent, while interest payments will be made directly to LBM. Provided there exists no potential default or event of default, the LBM Credit Agreement and Escrow Agreement prohibit any acceleration of repayment of any amount outstanding under the LBM Credit Agreement and prohibit termination of the LBM Credit Agreement or withdrawal from escrow of any unused portion of the available loan proceeds under the credit facility, by LBM.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we borrowed $2,000 under the LBM Credit Agreement which remained outstanding at September 30, 2019. There were no borrowings by us under the LBM Credit Agreement during any period prior to the three months ended September 30, 2019 from its inception (March 12, 2018).

Operating Activities
Net cash used for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $4,196, compared with net cash used for operating activities of $8,889 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The net decrease in outflows of $4,693 was due to a decrease in our net loss (changes further described above) net of noncash items and a net decrease in working capital attributable to a decrease in net cash outflows related to inventory production of our 3D printing machines and the timing of payments to our suppliers and vendors for our production and operating expenses.
Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $610, compared with net cash used for investing activities of $1,115 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Activity for both periods included cash outflows for capital expenditures (consistent with our operating plans), offset by proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.
We expect our remaining 2019 capital expenditures to be limited to spending associated with sustaining our existing operations and strategic asset acquisition and deployment (additional estimated spending of less than $500).
In September 2019, we reached agreement with a third party for the sale of certain property and equipment associated with the former Houston, Texas facility. We expect to receive net proceeds from the sale of the property and equipment of approximately $1,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2019.
28
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $2,100, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $137 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities included cash inflows of $2,000 associated with borrowings under our related party revolving credit facility and $289 associated with proceeds from the exercise of stock options by employees. These amounts were offset by cash outflows of $111 in principal payments on long-term debt and $68 associated with taxes related to the net settlement of equity-based awards.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities included cash inflows of $521 associated with proceeds from the exercise of stock options by employees. This amount was offset by cash outflows of $106 in principal payments on long-term debt and $265 in debt issuance costs associated with our related party revolving credit facility.
