COVID-19
InMarch 2020 , theWorld Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. It is not possible to accurately predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations due to the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent of its impact across industries and geographies and numerous other uncertainties. For example, we face uncertainties about the duration and spread of the outbreak, additional actions that may be taken by governmental entities, and the impact it may have on the ability of us, our customers, our suppliers, our manufacturers and our other business partners to conduct business. Governments in affected regions have implemented, and may continue to implement, safety precautions which include quarantines, travel restrictions, business closures, cancellations of public gatherings and other measures as they deem necessary. Many organizations and individuals, including our company and employees, are taking additional steps to avoid or reduce infections, including limiting travel and staying home from work. These measures are disrupting normal business operations and have had significant negative impacts on businesses and financial markets worldwide. We continue to monitor our operations and government recommendations and have made modifications to our normal operations because of the COVID-19 pandemic, including requiring most non-engineering or operations-related team members to work remotely, utilizing heightened cleaning and sanitization procedures, implementing new health and safety protocols and reducing non-essential travel. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused us to experience several adverse impacts, including extended sales cycles to close new orders for our products, delays in shipping and installing orders due to closed facilities and travel limitations and delays in collecting accounts receivable. The rapid development and uncertainty of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. However, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the measures taken to contain it, present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance and financial results. In particular, businesses across an array of vertical markets are temporarily reducing capital expenditure budgets globally as they seek to preserve liquidity to ensure the longevity of their own operations, which in turn may lead to reductions in purchases of our additive manufacturing solutions. Further, office closures may prevent organizations from reaching typical utilizations of our additive manufacturing solutions, resulting in reductions in purchases of consumable materials. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic may contribute to facility closures at our third-party contract manufacturers and key suppliers, causing delays and disruptions in product manufacturing, which could affect our ability to ship products purchased by our customers in a timely manner. Disruptions in the capital markets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic may also adversely affect our business if these impacts continue for a prolonged period and we need additional liquidity.
In the long-term, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic will encourage organizations to reassess their supply chain structure and may accelerate their adoption of solutions such as additive manufacturing, which could allow for greater flexibility and a reduced reliance on overseas manufacturing.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
We believe that our performance and future success depend on many factors that present significant opportunities for us, but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in "Risk Factors" section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Commercial Launch of Products
Several of our products began commercial shipments in late 2020 and early 2021, with more in the late stages of development and scheduled to begin commercial shipments in 2021. Prior to commercialization, we must complete final testing and manufacturing ramp-up of these products, both in-house and at our third-party contract manufacturers. Any delays in successful completion of these steps may impact our ability to generate revenue from these products. 40

Adoption of our Additive Manufacturing Solutions
We believe the world is at an inflection point in the adoption of additive manufacturing solutions and that we are well-positioned to take advantage of this opportunity across an array of industries due to our proprietary technologies and global distribution capabilities. We expect that our results of operations, including revenue and gross margins, will fluctuate for the foreseeable future as businesses continue to shift away from conventional manufacturing processes towards additive manufacturing for end-use parts. Our turnkey and volume production solutions are designed to empower businesses to realize the full benefits of additive manufacturing at-scale, including geometric and design flexibility, mass customization and supply chain engineering, among others. Both the speed with which and the degree to which potential and current customers recognize these benefits and invest in our solutions will affect our financial results.
Pricing, Product Cost and Margins
Our comprehensive portfolio of additive manufacturing solutions spans multiple price points, materials, throughput levels, operating environments and technologies to enable customers to find the solution that achieves their specific goals. We also expect to commercialize additional previously announced products over the course of 2021. Pricing for these products may vary by region due to marketspecific supply and demand dynamics and product lifecycles, and sales of certain products have, or are expected to have, higher gross margins than others. As a result, our financial performance depends, in part, on the mix of products we sell during a given period. In addition, we are subject to price competition, and our ability to compete in key markets will depend on the success of our investments in new technologies and cost improvements as well as our ability to efficiently and reliability introduce costeffective additive manufacturing solutions for our customers.
We believe that we are a leader in mass production and turnkey additive manufacturing solutions, offering breakthrough technologies that enable high throughput and easeofuse through our broad product portfolio. Our performance is significantly dependent on the investment we make in our research and development efforts and on our ability to be at the forefront of the additive manufacturing industry. It is essential that we continually identify and respond to rapidly evolving customer requirements, develop and introduce innovative new products, enhance existing products and generate customer demand for our solutions. We believe that investment in our additive manufacturing solutions will contribute to longterm revenue growth, but it may adversely affect our nearterm profitability.
Acquisitions and Transaction-Related Costs
As part of our growth strategy, we intend to continue to acquire or make investments in other business, patents, technologies, products or services. Our growth relies heavily on the successful integration of acquired companies, including our ability to realize the anticipated business opportunities from combining operations in an efficient and effective manner. We expect that the results of our operations will fluctuate as we continue to integrate these businesses, and the technologies, products, and services that they offer. Additionally, our results of operations will be impacted by non-recurring transaction-related costs, including integration costs, associated with these acquisitions. 41 Table of Contents Results of Operations

Change in fair value of warrant liability during the six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, were a$56.6 million loss and$0 , respectively. The decrease in fair value is the result of the remeasurement of the Private Placement Warrant liability prior to the cashless exercise of the Private Placement Warrants. The warrant liability increased$56.6 million as a result of the remeasurement, which resulted in the$56.6 million loss. As ofMarch 2, 2021 , all Private Placement Warrants were exercised and there was no outstanding warrant liability. Interest Expense Interest expense during the six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020 was$0.1 million and$0.2 million , respectively, a decrease of$0.1 million . Interest expense decreased primarily due to the payoff of the term loan inJune 2021 .
Interest and Other Income, Net
Interest and other income, net during the six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020 and was$0.6 million and$0.9 million , respectively, a decrease of$0.3 million , or 33%. Interest income decreased primarily due to a decrease in cash available for investment. Income Taxes We recorded an income tax benefit of$32.2 million during the six months endedJune 30, 2021 compared to no provision for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 . The increase was due to the partial release of the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax liability acquired in the EnvisionTEC and Adaptive 3D acquisitions. We have provided a valuation allowance for all of our deferred tax assets as a result of our historical net losses in the jurisdictions in which we operate, except forGermany . 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 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.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the below non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operational performance. We use this non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors in assessing our operating performance. The non-GAAP financial information excludes, as applicable, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets included in cost of sales, acquisition-related and other transactional charges included in general and administrative expense, and change in fair value of warrant liability. These items are normally included in the comparable measures calculated and 47 Table of Contents
presented in accordance with GAAP. Our management excludes these items when evaluating our ongoing performance and/or evaluating earnings potential, and therefore excludes them when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our GAAP results. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense relating to stock-based awards issued to executive officers, employees, and outside directors, consisting of options and restricted stock units. We exclude this expense because it is a non-cash expense and we assess our internal operations excluding this expense and believe it facilitates comparisons to the performance of other companies in our industry.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets is a non-cash expense that is impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions. We believe the assessment of our operations excluding these costs is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and to comparisons with the performance of other companies in our industry.
Acquisition-related and other transactional charges included in general and administrative expenses are direct costs related to potential and completed acquisitions, including transaction fees, due diligence costs, severance, professional fees, and integration activities. Other transactional charges include third-party costs related to structuring unusual transactions. The occurrence and amount of these costs will vary depending on the timing and size of acquisitions. We believe excluding acquisition-related costs facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results and to other companies in our industry. In-process research and development assets acquired are direct costs related to assets acquisitions where the intangible assets acquired were determined to have no alternative future use. This is a non-recurring expense and we believe excluding acquired in-process research and development facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results and to other companies in our industry. Change in fair value of investments is a non-cash gain or loss impacted by the fair value of investments. We believe the assessment of our operations excluding this activity is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and to comparisons with the performance of other companies in our industry. Change in fair value of warrant liability is a non-cash gain or loss impacted by the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants. We believe the assessment of our operations excluding this activity is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and to comparisons with the performance of other companies in our industry. We use the below non-GAAP financial measures, and we believe that they assist our investors, to make period-to-period comparisons of our operational performance because they provide a view of our operating results without items that are not, in our view, indicative of our core operating results. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help illustrate underlying trends in our business, and we use the measures to establish budgets and operational goals for managing our business and evaluating our performance. We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures also affords investors a view of our operating results that may be more easily compared to the results of other companies in our industry that use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. 48 Table of Contents The items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures often have a material impact on our financial results and such items often recur. Accordingly, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following tables reconcile each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most closely comparable GAAP measure in our financial statements for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020: For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months EndedJune 30 ,June 30 ,

We define "EBITDA" as net loss plus net interest income, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense.
We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA adjusted for change in fair value of warrant liability, stock-based compensation expense, warrant expense and transaction costs associated with acquisitions.
We believe that the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends because it eliminates the effect of financing, capital expenditures, and non-cash expenses such as stock-based compensation and warrants, and provides investors with a means to compare our financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, you should be aware when evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA that we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of these measures, especially Adjusted EBITDA, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate these measures in the same fashion. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. 49 Table of Contents The following table reconciles net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA during the six months ended: For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months EndedJune 30 ,June 30 ,

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred a net loss in each of our annual periods since our inception. We incurred net losses of$102.3 million and$45.6 million during the six months endedJune 20, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As ofJune 30, 2021 , we had$514.5 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. We completed the Business Combination inDecember 2020 , receiving$534.6 million net cash proceeds as a result of the transaction. Additionally, during the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , we received$170.7 million in net cash proceeds from the exercise of public warrants. We expect both to support our operations and investments in the near term. Since inception, we have received cumulative net proceeds from the Business Combination and the sale of our preferred and common stock of$973.4 million to fund our operations. As ofJune 30, 2021 , our principal sources of liquidity were our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of$514.5 million which are principally invested in money market funds and fixed income instruments. InJune 2018 , we entered into a three-year,$20.0 million term loan, which provided$10.0 million immediately with the remaining principal balance available to be drawn in up to three draws of not less than$2.0 million for 12 months from close of the facility. We entered into this loan to fund capital expenditures associated with our corporate office. The loan was repaid in full inJune 2021 .
In
In connection with the acquisition of EnvisionTEC, we acquired$1.2 million in PPP loans. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan which is dependent upon the Company having initially qualified for the loan. Furthermore, the loan is subject to forgiveness to the extent loan proceeds are used for payroll costs, certain rents, utilities, and mortgage interest expense. The PPP loan has a maturity date ofApril 3, 2022 and an interest rate of 1%. Principal and interest are payable monthly commencing on a date determined by the lender following the determination of the amount of the PPP loan to be forgiven or potentially earlier, as determined under applicableSmall Business Administration rules. The outstanding borrowings may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. OnMay 14, 2021 , the outstanding loan balance was communicated as forgiven. There is no outstanding PPP loan balance for EnvisionTEC as ofJune 30, 2021 . In connection with the acquisition of Adaptive 3D, we acquired$0.3 million in PPP loans. As ofJune 30, 2021 ,$0.3 million of the PPP loans is classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet. As ofJune 30, 2021 , forgiveness of the loan has been requested and remains outstanding. 50 Table of Contents We believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to support our operating plan and cash commitments for at least the next 12 months. As ofJune 30, 2021 , we had$188.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, and$326.3 million in short-term liquid investments. This liquid asset balance significantly exceeds our current liabilities of$41.5 million as of the same date. 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.
We expect net losses to continue in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue to invest in commercialization and new product development. Additionally, we may engage in future acquisitions which may require additional capital.
Cash Flows
Since inception, we have primarily used proceeds from the Business Combination, issuances of preferred stock and debt instruments to fund our operations and complete acquisitions. The following table sets forth a summary of cash flows for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020: For the Six Months Ended June 30, (Dollars in thousands) 2021 2020

$ 8,486 Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was$71.9 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , primarily consisting of$102.3 million of net losses, adjusted for non-cash items, which primarily included loss on change in fair value of warrant liability of$56.6 million , gain on change in fair value of investment of$19.5 million , depreciation and amortization expense of$9.4 million and stock-based compensation expense of$6.2 million , as well as a$20.1 million increase in cash consumed by working capital. The increase in cash consumed by working capital was primarily driven by an increase in certain assets including accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses and other current assets, alongside a decrease in certain liabilities including accounts payable and customer deposits. This increase in cash consumed by working capital was partially offset by an increase in certain liabilities including accrued expenses and other current liabilities and deferred revenue. Net cash used in operating activities was$40.3 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , primarily consisting of$45.6 million of net losses, adjusted for certain non-cash items, which primarily included depreciation and amortization expense of$4.5 million and stock-based compensation expense of$2.3 million , as well as a$1.8 million increase in cash consumed by working capital. The increase in cash consumed by working capital was primarily driven by an increase in certain assets including inventory. This increase in cash consumed by working capital was partially offset by a decrease in certain assets including accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other current assets and an increase in certain liabilities including accounts payable, customer deposits and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The majority of our inventory consists of finished goods. Inventory balances may fluctuate during cycles of new product launch, commercialization and planned growth of production and sales of products.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was$387.6 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , primarily consisting of purchases of marketable securities of$281.4 million , offset by proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities of$66.7 million . We also paid$168.0 million for acquisitions, and$5.9 million to acquire in-process research and development. We purchased$3.6 million in convertible promissory notes and purchased$1.2 million of property and equipment. 51 Table of Contents

for$1.8 million . Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities was$164.3 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , consisting primarily of$170.6 million in proceeds from the exercise of public warrants and$3.6 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset by the repayment of the term loan for$10.0 million . Net cash provided by financing activities was$0.1 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , consisting of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates
Other than as described below, there were no material changes in the first six months of 2021 to the information provided under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 .
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their respective estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. While we use our best estimates and judgments, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. We continue to collect information and reevaluate these estimates and assumptions quarterly and record any adjustments to our preliminary estimates to goodwill provided that we are within the measurement period. The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to the assets acquired, as well as the estimated useful life of each asset, can materially impact the consolidated statements of operations of the periods subsequent to the acquisition through depreciation and amortization, and in certain instances through impairment charges, if the asset becomes impaired in the future. In determining the estimated fair value for intangible assets, we typically utilize the income approach, which discounts the projected future net cash flow using a discount rate deemed appropriate by management that reflects the risks associated with such projected future cash flow. Significant estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, royalty rates, discount rates, and tax amortization benefit. Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment, as different types of intangible assets will have different useful lives and certain assets may even be considered to have indefinite useful lives.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements and do not utilize any "structured debt," "special purpose" or similar unconsolidated entities for liquidity or financing purposes.
