Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 –Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Proto Labs, Inc. (Protolabs, the Company, we, us or our) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, these adjustments consist of normal, recurring items. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. For further information, refer to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 16, 2024.

The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a full set of financial statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 16, 2024 as referenced above.

Note 2 –Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company did not recently adopt any accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, that enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by expanding annual disclosure requirements related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company is required to adopt this guidance for its annual year ending December 31, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, that updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses and information used to assess segment performance on an annual and interim basis. The Company is required to adopt this guidance for its annual year ending December 31, 2024 and all interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures.

Note 3 –Net Income per Common Share

Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had potentially dilutive common shares been issued and reduced by the number of shares the Company could have repurchased from the proceeds from issuance of the potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include stock options and other stock-based awards granted under stock-based compensation plans and shares committed to be purchased under the employee stock purchase plan. Performance stock units are excluded from the calculation of dilutive potential common shares until the performance conditions have been satisfied. Anti-dilutive options were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding and were 466,127 and 393,592 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 450,275 and 372,353 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The table below sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:

Note 5 –Fair Value Measurements

Accounting Standards Codification, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820), defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that arenot active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company's assets and liabilities that are required to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company’s cash consists of bank deposits and cash equivalents consist primarily of money market mutual funds. The Company determines the fair value of these investments using Level 1 inputs. The Company's marketable securities consist of short-term and long-term agency, municipal, corporate and other debt securities. Fair value for the corporate debt securities is primarily determined based on quoted market prices (Level 1). Fair values for the U.S. municipal securities, U.S. government agency securities, certificates of deposit and U.S. treasury securities are primarily determined using dealer quotes or quoted market prices for similar securities (Level 2).

The following table summarizes financial assets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Note 6 –Marketable Securities

The Company invests in short-term and long-term agency, municipal, corporate and other debt securities. The securities are categorized as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value. The following table summarizes information regarding the Company’s short-term and long-term marketable securities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Certificates of deposit/time deposits249——249
Total marketable securities$27,434$—$(402)$27,032

Fair values for the corporate debt securities are primarily determined based on quoted market prices (Level 1). Fair values for the U.S. municipal securities, U.S. government agency securities, certificates of deposit and U.S. treasury securities are primarily determined using dealer quotes or quoted market prices for similar securities (Level 2).

Classification of marketable securities as current or non-current is based upon the security’s maturity date as of the date of these financial statements.

The September 30, 2024 balance of available-for-sale debt securities by contractual maturity is shown in the following table at fair value. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

Note 7 –Inventory

Inventory consists primarily of raw materials, which are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the standard cost method, which approximates first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for slow-moving, damaged and discontinued items and provides allowances to reduce such items identified to their recoverable amounts.

The Company’s inventory consisted of the following as of the dates indicated:

Note 8 –Stock-Based Compensation

Under the Amended and Restated Proto Labs Inc. 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Company has the ability to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and cash incentive awards, which was approved by the Company's shareholders at a Special Meeting of Shareholders on August 29, 2022 and was amended and restated by the Company's shareholders at its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 23, 2024 (as amended and restated, the 2022 Plan) to increase the number of shares available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2022 Plan by an additional 430,000 shares, add a minimum vesting requirement, and extend the expiration date so that the term of the 2022 Plan runs forten years from the date of the shareholder approval. Awards under the 2022 Plan have a maximum term often years from the date of grant. The compensation committee may provide that the vesting or payment of any award will be subject to the attainment of specified performance measures in addition to the satisfaction of any continued service requirements and the compensation committee will determine whether such measures have been achieved. The per-share exercise price of stock options and SARs granted under the 2022 Plan generally may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant.

The Company also has outstanding awards under the 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the 2012 Plan), although the plan expired in February 2022 and no additional awards have since been or will be made under the 2012 Plan. The 2012 Plan provided the Company the ability to grant stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and cash incentive awards. Awards under the 2012 Plan that subsequently expired, were forfeited or cancelled, or settled in cash after August 29, 2022 became available for awards under the 2022 Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) allows eligible employees to purchase a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock each offering period at a discount through payroll deductions of up to 15 percent of their eligible compensation, subject to plan limitations. The ESPP provides forsix-month offering periods with a single purchase period ending May 15 and November 15, respectively. At the end of each offering period, employees are able to purchase shares at 85 percent of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the last trading day of the offering period.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense was $4.2 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $12.7 million and $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Stock Options

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2024:

Options outstanding at September 30, 2024463,214$51.46
Exercisable at September 30, 2024189,816$70.28

The outstanding options generally have a term often years. For employees, options granted become exercisable ratably over the vesting period, which is generally a period offour years, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the employee’s continuing service to the Company.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options that were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $18.15.

Performance Stock

Performance stock units (PSUs) are expressed in terms of a target number of PSUs, with anywhere between 0 percent and 200 percent of that target number capable of being earned and vesting at the end of athree-year performance period depending on the Company’s performance in the final year of the performance period and the award recipient’s continued employment. Certain PSUs granted by the Company in 2021 are based on performance conditions and the related compensation cost is based on the probability that the performance conditions will be achieved. The Company’s PSUs granted in 2022, 2023, 2024 and certain PSUs granted in 2021 are based on market conditions and the related compensation cost is based on the fair value at grant date calculated using a Monte Carlo pricing model.

Note 10 –Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income tax in multiple jurisdictions and the use of estimates is required to determine the provision for income taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $8.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The income tax provision is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate for the year applied to pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 27.1 percent compared to 25.9 percent in the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate increased by 1.2 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a reduction in expenditures that qualify for the research and development credit. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 31.9 percent compared to 43.2 percent in the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate decreased by 11.3 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the prior year one-time tax impact of the foreign currency translation loss from the closure of our Japan business.

The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0 percent due to various factors, including operating in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions partially offset by tax credits for which the Company qualifies.

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits totaling $3.7 million as of September 30, 2024 and $3.6 million as of December 31, 2023, respectively, that if recognized would result in a reduction of the Company’s effective tax rate. The liabilities are classified as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense and reports the liability in current or long-term income taxes payable as appropriate.

Note 11 –Segment Reporting

The Company’s reportable segments are based on the internal reporting used by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (CODM), to assess operating performance and make decisions about the allocation of resources. The Corporate Unallocated and Japan category includes non-reportable segments, as well as research and development and general and administrative costs, that the Company does not allocate directly to its operating segments.

Intercompany transactions primarily relate to intercontinental activity and have been eliminated and are excluded from the reported amounts. The difference between income from operations and pre-tax income relates to foreign currency-related gains and losses and interest income on cash balances and investments, which are not allocated to business segments.

Revenue and income from operations by reportable segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Note 12 –Subsequent Event

On October 21, 2024, the Board of Directors of Proto Labs, Inc. approved a plan related to the Company's manufacturing facilities in Germany. The plan includes the closure of the Company's prototype injection molding manufacturing facility in Eschenlohe, Germany, and the discontinuation of Direct Metal Laser Sintering 3D printing services through its Putzbrunn, Germany, 3D printing facility. Affected employees in Germany will receive severance and other transition assistance that meet or exceed local requirements. The Company expects to substantially complete the plan within the next year.

The Company will continue offering all its manufacturing services to customers across Europe, including injection molding and metal 3D printing. These services will be fulfilled through internal manufacturing facilities and a network of manufacturing partners, consistent with the Company's recently announced global operations organization.

The approved plan is expected to lead to total restructuring charges in the range of $4.5 million to $6.0 million consisting of approximately $2.5 million to $3.5 million in severance and other employee-related costs, and $2.0 million to $2.5 million in fixed asset and facility related write-down expenses. The company expects to incur approximately $4.0 million of the total restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of 2024, with the remaining charge to be incurred throughout the remainder of the restructuring process.

The total cash expenditures associated with the plan are expected to be in the range of $3.0 million to $4.0 million, consisting primarily of severance and other employee related costs.
