CEO Yoav Stern states in his message to shareholders: “The efforts of our newly assembled Go-To-Market organization are indeed showing results, manifested by an impressive growth in revenue. It includes Nano Dimension’s network of marketing, sales, pre and post sales application engineers and customer care engineers across Europe and the U.S. Their efforts are indeed substantial and effective, especially with the occurrences of unforeseen events, especially the slowdown in Europe resulting from the industrial players’ reaction to the evolving war in Ukraine as well as the crisis in electronic components’ supply chain.

We see our role to either prepare for unpredicted circumstances, or at least to react to them swiftly. As part of this commitment to act, in mid-August 2022, we replaced our President of the Americas with Mr. Dale Baker. Dale, an ex-General Electric executive and ex-CEO of seven companies, has worked with us before in similar roles in other exponential growth situations. Dale is already heading the expansion of Nano Dimension’s U.S. operations as well as taking the leadership role in AME worldwide sales and marketing activity and gearing up to execute the Company’s current organic and M&A growth strategy.

Our vision continues to evolve as we look to transform AM, AM Electronics & adjacent industrial non-digitized sectors into an environmentally friendly & economically efficient additive manufacturing Industry 4.0 – enabling a one production-step-conversion of digital designs into functioning mechanical & electronic devices, on-demand, anytime, anywhere. We aim to build an ecofriendly and intelligent distributed secured network of 3D printers & roll-in adjacent industrial machine-learning-led-digitized manufacturing and self-learning and self-improving machines.

As we have mentioned in the last quarter, the business plan aimed at reaching the above has been expanded with a wider field of view, to fit new arising opportunities. If contraction of multiples and valuations will be sustained, we expect to take advantage of our frugal approach to cash management during the unreasonable “market-inflation” during 2020 to early 2022.

Indeed, in early Q3/2022 we leveraged the shrinking valuations and bought Admatec Europe B.V. and Formatec Technical Ceramics B.V. in Europe (a leading developer and manufacturer of 3D metal/ceramic printing systems and a service provider for ceramic/metal end-user parts), at approximately 2.5 times revenue. We have also established ourselves, at a value of approximately 2 times revenue, as a shareholder of Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS), in a strategic investment (which may be increased or decreased, subject to market conditions and other economic factors). If acquisitions will withstand more reasonable prices, which have not been available over the last two years, we hope to show attractive synergistic growth from M&A activity.”
