On-demand digital manufacturing providerProtolabshas reported its financial earnings for the second fiscal quarter of 2020.
截至2020年6月30日的期间的收入为1.065亿美元，毛利率为49.2％。这可以与2019年第三季度的1.159亿美元和51.9％的比较比较。2019年第一季度报告的2020年第二季度的净收入从1610万美元下降到1,260万美元。
Protolabs对其支出的严格控制使IT能够提供相对平坦的收入绩效，尽管与Covid-19相关的挑战持续了挑战。其他3D印刷公司，例如3D系统为了管理他们的支出，提出了削减成本措施，例如休假员工。
On a call with investors and analysts, the focus was on the impact of the COVID-19, and the company’s internal and external responses. “A crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity for Protolabs to demonstrate the value that our digital business model can provide,” said Vicki Holt, President, and CEO of Protolabs. “Our purpose is to accelerate innovation from development through commercialization, and we’ve been able to deliver on that purpose during this crisis.”
“I would like to express how proud I am of this Protolabs team, and how we’ve handled the first-half of 2020,” Holt continued, “I would like to thank them all for what they do to make Protolabs a great organization.”
Protolabs的Q2 2020性能
Protolabs reports revenue across four segments: Injection Molding, CNC Machining, 3D Printing, and Sheet Metal. Injection Molding accounted for more than half of the company’s total revenue, posting $57.8 million for Q2 2020, a 4.3 percent increase on the comparative of $55.4 million.
CNC加工报告报告了2020年第一季度的2870万美元收入，去年同期发布的3880万美元下降了35.2％。Protolabs的钣金收入也下降了，第二季度的收入为460万美元，而2019年第二季度为540万美元。
The company’s 3D Printing segment delivered $14.2 million in revenue for Q1 2020, a 7.2 percent decrease against $15.2 million for the same quarter last year. Protolabs still reported an increased income for its 3D Printing business across H1 2020 though, with revenues up to $30.1 million from $29.7 million in H1 2019. This growth was largely achieved in an令人印象深刻的第一季度与2019年第1季度相比，该公司的3D打印收入增长了10.1％。
| Revenue (USD) | Q2 2020 | 2019年第2季度 | H1 2020 | H1 2019 |
| Injection Molding | $57.8m | 5540万美元 | 1.126亿美元 | $110.7m |
| CNC加工 | $28.7m | $38.8m | 6660万美元 | $76.7m |
| 3D打印 | 1,420万美元 | 1520万美元 | $ 3010万 | $29.7m |
| 钣金 | 460万美元 | 540万美元 | 1,030万美元 | 10040万美元 |
| 其他 | 100万美元 | 80万美元 | $1.8m | $1.6m |
| TOTAL | $106.5m | $115.9m | 2.216亿美元 | 2.293亿美元 |
第二季度收入持平company across Europe and the United States, when compared to Q2 2019. In the United States, Protolabs’ revenue fell from $91.1 million in Q2 2019 to $86.8 million for the same period this year. Similarly, the business’ European revenue marginally dropped in the first quarter, from $17.1 million in Q2 2019 to $16.7 million in Q2 2020.
尽管宏观经济气候挑战性，但该公司的总收入在2020年的上半年下降了3％，而2019年H1则下降了，在美国仅下降了1.1％。在2020年第2季度，Protolabs通过将其运营费用从2019年第2季度的4060万美元降低到2020年代第二季度的3810万美元，并在此期间将其营销支出减少了13.8％，从而减轻了其最重要的收获。Protolabs的研发支出没有削减，该研发支出从2019年第2季度的810万美元增加到2020年代第二季度的860万美元，表明该公司仍在计划长期计划。
| Operating Expenses (USD) | Q2 2020 | 2019年第2季度 | H1 2020 | H1 2019 |
| 市场营销与销售 | $16.9m | $19.2m | 3510万美元 | 3780万美元 |
| 研发 | 860万美元 | $8.1m | $17.6m | 1610万美元 |
| 一般和管理员 | $12.5m | $13.2m | 2660万美元 | $26m |
| TOTAL | 3810万美元 | $40.6m | 7930万美元 | 8000万美元 |
从Covid-19踢
During the earnings call, Holt explained that following Q2 2020, the company had expected a decline in revenue, but highlighted that its income had “rebounded” since the start of June. Protolabs’ reduced income was offset slightly by the $5 million earned via COVID-19-related orders in April, and its aerospace division in particular recorded “really strong” revenues in Q2 2020.
霍尔特说：“我认为我们真的没有任何惊讶。”欧洲的康复非常缓慢。我们的一些猜测是，许多欧洲经济体非常注重出口，因此随着出口经济体较弱，即使他们正在开放一点，也可能会影响欧洲。”
Holt also provided an update on “key strategic initiatives” for future growth such as Protolabs’ 2.0 systems project. The program, which aims to enhance the company’s e-commerce platform and the interconnectivity of its back-end systems, remains on course for the European launch by the end of 2020. “I am so proud of our teams and their work on Protolabs 2.0 to date. The level of teamwork across all functions and regions, all while transitioning to a remote working environment, is extremely impressive,” said Holt.
Echoing the CEO’s statement, CFO John Way said: “Many of our customers have been impacted by COVID-19 stay-at-home orders and business shutdowns.” Despite this, Way emphasized that the company still has a “strong balance sheet” with no outstanding debt and that he expects the business’ June recovery to continue into July. Way also underlined that recovering the company’s sales volume was key to returning it to gross profitability during the fourth quarter of 2021.
Given the company’s strong revenue performance in Q1, it continued to invest in its facilities and expanding its product range throughout Q2. In May 2020 for instance, Protolabs invested £10.5m in the construction of a新的3D打印设施。开放后，德国的5000平方米工厂将使公司的生产能力提高50％。其次是发射新的钴镀铬超合金其金属激光烧结过程的印刷材料。protolabs预计，该粉末会破坏许多行业，包括石油和天然气，而以前无法定制的钴镀铬零件。
Protolabs的第三季度2020年计划
在下一季度，Protolabs致力于其营销策略的数字化。霍尔特解释说：“我们一直在市场营销中转移到更多的数字外观，这是我们拥有的优势之一。由于我们是一家数字公司，因此我们可以很容易地在数字上旋转。”
今年剩余的时间将使Protolabs寻求减少支出机会。CFO Way指出，许多相关费用是一次性的，并且不会复发。“我们在第二季度的费用与员工的安全性有关，确保我们有口罩和防护设备以及类似的东西，” Way说。“我们现在有大部分东西。”
该公司的许多大型工业测试设施也保持关闭，而Protolabs仍在考虑何时重新开放。在该公司最近进行的调查中，有73％的受访者表示他们正在远程工作。结果，其某些工厂将保持关闭或重新开放。霍尔特说：“我们真的很想了解客户，尤其是我们的产品开发人员以及他们如何在此期间完成工作的情况。”
她补充说：“他们的开发周期已被赶出或减少了资金，因此该调查帮助我们了解了产品开发人员正在发生的事情。”他们今天的项目越来越少，这就是我们收入中潜在的弱点所反映的。”
In her closing remarks, Holt summarized that the challenge of COVID-19 was far from over, but reiterated that the company was confident that its staff and business model would “push forward” in the coming quarter: “We are committed to pushing this company forward through the challenges and changes,” she concluded. “We will continue to improve our offering, our company culture, and our financial performance. In the near-term, we will continue to adapt and grow as an organization, and over the long-term, we’re committed to driving great shareholder value.”
自从宣布其第一季度业绩以来，Protolabs的股票一直在稳步上升，从每股93.58美元的低点提高到137.93美元。自第2季度数字发布以来，该公司的股票再次下跌，但仅略低于118.48美元。
