Shares of 3D Systems Corp. (NYSE: DDD) slumped 7.7% after the company reported a first-quarter loss of 9 cents per share, wider than the street projection of 1 cent per share. The top line declined 8% to $152 million, hurt by demand weakness. Analysts were expecting revenues of $166.16 million.
The company reported 90% higher printer unit sales, but as a result of the mix of unit sales, printer revenue decreased 29% year-over-year.
3D Systems has been witnessing a steady deceleration in top-line growth, which has also started affecting its stock.
On a reported basis, net loss widened to 22 cents per share in Q1 from 19 cents per share a year earlier.
CEO Vyomesh Joshi said, “While we expected seasonality in our revenue this year from ordering patterns of enterprise customers, the first quarter was lower than anticipated as a result of shipment timing and additional on-demand weakness.”
