The ExOne Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(dollars in thousands, except per-share and share amounts)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Organization
The ExOne Company (“ExOne”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the state of
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. The December 31, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in connection with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which includes all disclosures required by GAAP.
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make certain judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Areas that require significant judgments, estimates and assumptions include accounting for accounts receivable (including the allowance for doubtful accounts); inventories (including the allowance for slow-moving and obsolete inventories); product warranty reserves; contingencies; revenue (including the allocation of a sales contract’s total transaction price to each performance obligation for contracts with multiple performance obligations); and equity-based compensation (including the valuation of certain equity-based compensation awards issued by the Company). The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Merger Transaction
On August 11, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Desktop Metal, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DM”), Texas Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of DM (“Merger Sub I”) and Texas Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of DM (“Merger Sub II”).
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub I will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of DM (the “First Merger”) and immediately thereafter, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II surviving the subsequent merger (the “Second Merger”, and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”).
On October 20, 2021, the Company and DM received clearance from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, a foreign investment regulatory authority, that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have been cleared pursuant to section 58a paragraph 1 of the German Foreign Trade and Payments Ordinance. Additionally, the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, expired on October 28, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Accordingly, the Company and DM have now received all regulatory approvals required as a condition to consummate the Mergers.
On November 9, 2021, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders. At that special meeting, the ExOne stockholders voted to approve the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the proposed transaction may close as soon as three business days following the date of the special meeting of ExOne stockholders, subject to customary closing conditions.

COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus a global pandemic (“COVID-19”) and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The impact of COVID-19 and the related economic, business and market disruptions were wide-ranging and continue to be significant. As a result of COVID-19, the Company was required to temporarily close its operations at its North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania facility for the period from March 23 through March 30, 2020. In response to COVID-19, the Company has incurred incremental costs associated with protecting the health and safety of the Company’s global workforce, enhanced sanitization of the Company’s global operating facilities, and information technology capabilities for employees operating remotely. Beginning in March 2020, restrictions imposed by various governmental authorities on both domestic and international shipping and travel have caused disruptions to the timing of delivery and installation of the Company’s three-dimensional (“3D”) printing machines, resulting in negative impacts to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The duration and severity of the outbreak and its long-term impact on the Company’s business remain uncertain. The Company is unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on its future financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). Recently issued ASUs not listed below either were assessed and determined to be not applicable or are currently expected to have no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, “Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options”. This ASU clarifies the accounting treatment for freestanding equity-classified written call options that are modified or exchanged as part of or directly related to a modification or an exchange of existing debt. This ASU becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. This guidance would only be applicable to the consolidated financial statements of the Company in the event that freestanding equity-classified written call options were modified or exchanged as a part of or directly related to the modification or exchange of existing debt. As no such transactions have occurred during the current year and no such transactions are anticipated, management determined that the adoption of this ASU will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” This ASU added a new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses. The CECL model applies to most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and other loan commitments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. As a smaller reporting company pursuant to Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, these changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Note 4. Loss Per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted loss per common share amounts. Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the applicable period.
As the Company incurred a net loss during each of the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, basic average common shares outstanding and diluted average common shares outstanding were the same because the effect of potential shares of common stock, including stock options (

Note 5. Revenue
The Company derives revenue from the sale of 3D printing machines and 3D printed and other products, materials and services. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation(s) under a contract (either implicit or explicit) by transferring the promised product or service to a customer, which is when (or as) the customer obtains control of the product or service. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services. As such, revenue is recorded net of returns, allowances, customer discounts, and incentives. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net (excluded from revenue) basis. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.
Certain of the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. Sales of 3D printing machines may also include optional equipment, materials, replacement components and services (installation, training and other services, including maintenance services and/or an extended warranty). Certain other contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer products or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using
8
the Company’s best estimate of stand-alone selling price for each distinct product or service in the contract, which is generally based on an observable price.
When the Company sells products to customers, revenue is recognized at a point in time. The Company’s contracts for 3D printing machines generally include substantive customer acceptance provisions. Revenue under these contracts is recognized when customer acceptance provisions have been satisfied. For all other product sales, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time in which the customer obtains control of the product, which is generally when product title passes to the customer upon delivery. In certain cases, title does not transfer and revenue is not recognized until the customer has received the products at its physical location.
The Company’s revenue from service arrangements includes deferred maintenance contracts and extended warranties that can be purchased at the customer’s option. The Company generally provides a standard one-year warranty on the Company’s 3D printing machines, which is considered an assurance type warranty, and not considered a separate performance obligation (Note 8). Revenue associated with deferred maintenance contracts is generally recognized at a point in time when the related services are performed where sufficient historical evidence indicates that the costs of performing the related services under the contract are not incurred on a straight-line basis, with such revenue recognized in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred. Revenue associated with extended warranties is generally recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the related contract period.
The Company generates certain revenues through the sale of research and development services. Revenue under research and development service contracts is generally recognized over time where progress is measured in a manner that reflects the transfer of control of the promised goods or services to the customer. Depending on the facts and circumstances surrounding each research and development service contract, revenue is recognized over time using either an input measure (based on the entity’s direct costs incurred in an effort to satisfy the performance obligations) or an output measure (specifically units or parts delivered, based upon certain customer acceptance and delivery requirements).
A portion of the Company’s service revenue is generated through contracts with the federal government under fixed-fee, cost reimbursable and time and materials arrangements (certain of which may have periods of performance greater than one year). Revenue under these contracts is generally recognized over time using an input measure based upon direct costs incurred.
The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue by product group for the periods indicated:

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and deferred revenue and customer prepayments (contract liabilities) in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company considers a number of factors in its evaluation of the creditworthiness of its customers, including past due amounts, past payment history, and current economic conditions. For 3D printing machines, the Company’s terms of sale vary by transaction. To reduce credit risk in connection with 3D printing machine sales, the Company may, depending upon the circumstances, require customers to furnish letters of credit or bank guarantees or to provide advanced payment (either partial or in full). For 3D printed and other products and materials,
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $
The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient associated with incremental costs of obtaining a contract, and as such, sales commission expense is generally expensed when incurred because the amortization period would be one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.
Accounts receivable and net investment in sales-type leases are reported at their net realizable value. The Company carries its investment in sales-type leases based on discounting the minimum lease payments by the interest rate implicit in the lease, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable and net investment in sales-type leases is based on the Company’s evaluation of customer accounts with past-due outstanding balances or
9
specific accounts for which it has information that the customer may be unable to meet its financial obligations. Based upon review of these accounts, and management’s analysis and judgment, the Company records a specific allowance for that customer’s accounts receivable or net investment in sales-type lease balance to reduce the outstanding balance to the amount expected to be collected. The allowance is re-evaluated and adjusted periodically as additional information is received that impacts the allowance amount reserved. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $

Note 9. Contingencies and Commitments
Contingencies
On March 1, 2018, the Company’s ExOne GmbH subsidiary notified Voxeljet AG that it had materially breached a 2003 Patent and Know-How Transfer Agreement and asserted its rights to set-off damages as a result of the breaches against the annual license fee due from the Company under the agreement. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a contingency, if any, related to this matter.
The Company is subject to various litigation, claims, and proceedings which have been or may be instituted or asserted from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of any pending or threatened matters will have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
Commitments

Paycheck Protection Program Loan
On April 18, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) with an unrelated United States bank (the “Lender”) reflecting a loan in the principal amount of $
Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Loan bore interest at a rate of

the PPP, the Loan, or a portion thereof, could be forgiven if Loan proceeds were used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, such as payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage interest payments, rent and utilities. The Company used all of the Loan proceeds for qualifying expenses.
During June 2021, the Company submitted an application to the SBA requesting full forgiveness of the Loan. On July 8, 2021, the Company received notice from the SBA that the Loan had been forgiven in full, including forgiveness of all interest accrued to date. This formal notice from the SBA legally released the Company of any obligations under the Loan. As a result, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of the PPP loan of $

The Company has provided a valuation allowance for certain of its net deferred tax assets as a result of the Company not generating consistent net operating profits in certain jurisdictions in which it operates. As such, certain benefits from deferred taxes in the periods presented have been fully offset by changes in the valuation allowance for the related net deferred tax assets. The Company continues to assess its future taxable income by jurisdiction based on recent historical operating results, the expected timing of reversal of temporary differences, various tax planning strategies that the Company may be able to enact in future periods, the impact of potential operating changes on the business and forecast results from operations in future periods based on available information at the end of each reporting period. To the extent that the Company is able to reach the conclusion that net deferred tax assets are realizable based on any combination of the above factors in a single, or in multiple, taxing jurisdictions, a reversal of the related portion of the Company’s existing valuation allowances may occur.

Note 13. Equity-Based Compensation
On January 24, 2013, the Board adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). In connection with the adoption of the Plan,
Stock options and restricted stock issued by the Company under the Plan are generally subject to service conditions resulting in annual vesting on the anniversary of the date of grant over a period typically ranging between one and
On February 5, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board adopted the 2020 Annual Incentive Program (the “2020 Program”) as a subplan under the Plan. The 2020 Program provided an opportunity for performance-based compensation to senior executive officers of the Company, among others. The target annual incentive for each 2020 Program participant was expressed as a percentage of base salary and was conditioned on the achievement of certain financial goals (as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board). The Compensation Committee of the Board retained negative discretion over amounts payable under the 2020 Program. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded

The 2021 Program provided an opportunity for performance-based compensation to senior executive officers of the Company, among others. The target annual incentive for each 2021 Program participant was expressed as a percentage of base salary and was conditioned on the achievement of certain financial and/or individual performance goals (as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board). The Compensation Committee of the Board retained negative discretion over amounts payable under the 2021 Program. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded $
On February 2, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board adopted the 2021 Executive Stock Performance Program (the “ESPP”) as a subplan under the Plan. The ESPP provided an opportunity for senior executive officers of the Company to earn performance-based compensation based on the performance of the Company’s common stock over a one-year period ending December 31, 2021. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded $

Volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price consistent with the expected term of the awards. The average risk-free rate is based on a weighted average yield curve of risk-free interest rates consistent with the expected term of the awards. Expected dividend yield is based on historical dividend data as well as future expectations. Expected term is calculated using the simplified method as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise experience upon which to base an estimate.

(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)
The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act with respect to our future financial or business performance, strategies, or expectations.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we assume no duty, and do not undertake, to update forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance.
In addition to the risk factors previously disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the items described under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, the following factors, among others, could cause results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: the severity and duration of world health events, including the COVID-19 outbreak and the related economic repercussions and operational challenges; the ability of Desktop Metal, Inc., a Delaware corporate (“DM”) and us to consummate the proposed transaction (the planned merger transaction with DM further described in the “Merger Transaction” section below) in a timely manner or at all, including the ability to secure regulatory approvals; impact to our business if the transaction is not consummated; successful integration of DM’s and our businesses and realization of synergies and benefits; the ability of DM to implement business plans, forecasts and other expectations following the completion of the transaction; risk that actual performance and financial results following completion of the transaction differ from projected performance and results; business disruption following the transaction; our ability to consistently generate operating profits; fluctuations in our revenues and operating results; our competitive environment and its competitive position; our ability to enhance our current 3D printing machines and technology and to develop and introduce new 3D printing machines; our ability to qualify more industrial materials in which it can print; demand for our products; the availability of skilled personnel; the impact of loss of key management; the impact of customer specific terms in machine sale agreements in determining the period in which we recognize revenue; risks related to global operations including effects of foreign currency and COVID-19; dependency on certain critical suppliers; nature or impact of alliances and strategic investments; reliance on critical information technology systems; the effect of litigation, contingencies and warranty claims; liabilities under laws and regulations protecting the environment; the impact of governmental laws and regulations; operating hazards, cyberattacks, war, terrorism and cancellation or unavailability of insurance coverage; the impact of disruption of our manufacturing facilities or ExOne Adoption Centers; the adequacy of our protection of our intellectual property; expectations regarding demand for our industrial products, and other matters with regard to outlook; and other factors beyond our control, including the impact of COVID-19. For additional information about other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results of the proposed transaction to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements in this communication of ExOne’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects generally, please refer to the Company’s reports filed with the SEC, including without limitation the “Risk Factors” and/or other information included in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A relating to the proposed transaction filed with the SEC on October 8, 2021, definitive additional materials and other filings by the Company in connection with the proposed transaction and such other reports as ExOne has filed or may file with the SEC from time to time. For additional information about risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results of the proposed transaction to differ materially from those described, please refer to DM’s reports filed with the SEC, including without limitation the “Risk Factors” and/or other information included in such reports. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the proxy statement/prospectus will be considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, neither DM nor ExOne will update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.
Overview
We are a global provider of 3D printing machines and 3D printed and other products, materials and services to industrial customers. Our business primarily consists of manufacturing and selling 3D printing machines and printing products to specification for our customers using our global installed base of 3D printing machines. Our machines serve direct (metal) and indirect (sand) applications. Direct printing produces a component; indirect printing makes a tool to produce a component. We offer pre-production collaboration and print products for customers through our network of EACs. We also supply the associated materials, including consumables and replacement parts, and other services, including training and technical support, that are necessary for purchasers of our 3D printing machines to print products. We believe that our ability to print in a variety of industrial materials, as well as our
17
industry-leading volumetric output (as measured by build box size and printing speed), uniquely position us to serve the needs of industrial customers.
Outlook
We are the global leader in industrial 3D printers utilizing binder jetting technology. Our continued focus is to achieve profitable growth via three strategic initiatives:
|
- |
Expand Both Our Customer and Application Focus. We intend to leverage our substantial experience in binder jetting technology to focus on the highest value industries and applications. We have made a significant investment in our global commercial operations to drive our growth in this area. |
|
- |
Extend the Capabilities of Our Core Technology. We intend to expand our core binder jetting technology through our machine platforms while at the same time lowering the total cost of ownership of our systems for our customers. We are also focused on driving modularity among our various machine platforms for both direct (metal) and indirect (sand) applications. |
|
- |
Execute on Recurring Revenue Growth. We intend to execute on our plan to expand our offerings for 3D printed and other products, materials and services while better leveraging our growing global installed base of 3D printers. |
The impact of COVID-19 and the related economic, business and market disruptions were wide-ranging and continue to be significant. As a result of COVID-19, we were required to temporarily close our operations at our North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania facility for the period from March 23 through March 30, 2020. In response to COVID-19, we have incurred incremental costs associated with protecting the health and safety of our global workforce, enhanced sanitization of our global operating facilities, and information technology capabilities for employees operating remotely. Beginning in March 2020, restrictions imposed by various governmental authorities on both domestic and international shipping and travel have caused disruptions to the timing of delivery and installation of our 3D printing machines, resulting in negative impacts to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The duration and severity of the outbreak and its long-term impact on our business remain uncertain. We are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our future financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Our operating results continue to be impacted by a prolonged downturn in global manufacturing trends as a result of COVID-19 which has influenced the capital expenditure investments of our customers. Despite these headwinds, we ended the third quarter of 2021 with a backlog balance of approximately $57,300. We expect the combination of our backlog at September 30, 2021 and an acceleration in market adoption of our binder jetting technology, including our latest printer platforms (our X1 25Pro, X1 160Pro and InnoventPro® for metal applications, our S-Max Pro for sand applications, and the office-friendly ExOne Metal DesignlabTM printer for metal or ceramic parts), to provide the basis for our operating stability and growth for the remainder of 2021 and into 2022 despite continuing negative macroeconomic trends for global manufacturing, including the impact of COVID-19.
Merger Transaction
On August 11, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Desktop Metal, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DM”), Texas Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of DM (“Merger Sub I”) and Texas Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of DM (“Merger Sub II”).
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub I will merge with and into us, with ExOne surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of DM (the “First Merger”) and immediately thereafter, we will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II surviving the subsequent merger (the “Second Merger”, and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”).
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, our stockholders will receive, in exchange for each share of our common stock held immediately prior to the Mergers, (i) $8.50 in cash and (ii) a number of shares of DM common stock, equal to the Exchange Ratio (defined below).
The “Exchange Ratio” shall be determined based on DM’s 20-day average closing stock price three trading days prior to closing: (i) if the average closing DM stock price is greater than or equal to $9.70, then the Exchange Ratio shall be set at 1.7522; (ii) if the average closing DM stock price is less than or equal to $7.94, then the Exchange Ratio shall be set at 2.1416; (iii) if the average closing DM stock price is less than $9.70 but greater than $7.94, then the Exchange Ratio shall be equal to 1.9274 multiplied by the quotient of (x) $8.82 divided by (y) the average closing DM stock price.
On October 20, 2021, we and DM received clearance from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, a foreign investment regulatory authority, that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have been cleared pursuant to section 58a paragraph 1 of the German Foreign Trade and Payments Ordinance. Additionally, the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, expired on October 28, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Accordingly, we and DM have now received all regulatory approvals required as a condition to consummate the Mergers.
On November 9, 2021, we held a special meeting of stockholders. At that special meeting, our stockholders voted to approve the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the proposed transaction may close as soon as three business days following the date of the special meeting of our stockholders, subject to customary closing conditions.
18
During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred expenses associated with the planned merger transaction of $3,376 and $3,477, respectively, all of which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompany condensed statement of consolidated operations and comprehensive loss.
Backlog
At September 30, 2021, our backlog was approximately $57,300 of which approximately $50,700 is expected to be fulfilled during the next twelve months notwithstanding uncertainty related to the impact of COVID-19 (further discussed above) including, but not limited to, domestic and international shipping and travel restrictions brought about by COVID-19, which could have an adverse effect on the timing of delivery and installation of products and/or services to customers. At December 31, 2020, our backlog was approximately $39,400 and at September 30, 2020 our backlog was approximately $42,600.
Seasonality
Purchases of our 3D printing machines are often subject to the capital expenditure cycles of our customers. Generally, 3D printing machine sales are higher in our third and fourth quarters than in our first and second quarters; however, as acceptance of our 3D printing machines as a credible alternative to traditional methods of production grows, we expect to limit the seasonality we experience.
We believe that COVID-19 may have an adverse effect on the future capital expenditure decisions of our customers outside of their normal spending cycles, which may impact the timing and extent of such decisions.
Results of Operations
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $4,907, or $0.22 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $3,273, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in our net loss was primarily due to increases in both selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses (further described below), partially offset by a $2,220 gain on the extinguishment of the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) loan and increases in gross margin (further described below).
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $16,621, or $0.76 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $10,944, or $0.65 per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in our net loss was primarily due to increases in both selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses (further described below) and the absence of a gain of $1,462 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 associated with the sale-leaseback of our European headquarters and operating facility in Gersthofen, Germany. Partially offsetting these increases in net loss was a $2,220 gain on the extinguishment of the PPP loan and increases in gross margin (further described below).

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $19,043, compared with revenue of $17,399 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $1,644, or 9.4%. The increase in revenue resulted from an increase in revenue attributable to both of our product groups.
The increase in revenue from 3D printing machines of $304 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, or 2.9%, as compared to the same period in the prior year, resulted primarily from higher volumes (21 units sold during the three months ended September 30, 2021 versus 13 units sold during the three months ended September 30, 2020), partially offset by an unfavorable mix of machines sold.
The increase in revenue from 3D printed and other products, materials and services for the three months ended September 30, 2021 of $1,340, or 19.4%, resulted primarily from an increase of $680 associated with funded research and development arrangements primarily related to work performed in connection with two larger government projects and an automotive project, an increase of $463
19
in consumable materials and aftermarket revenues based on growth in our global installed base of 3D printing machines and an increase of $383 in sand EAC revenues based on higher customer demand for indirect printed products. Offsetting these increases was a reduction of revenue of $282 from our global metal EACs based on lower customer demand for direct printed products.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $50,846, compared with revenue of $41,881 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $8,965, or 21.4%. The increase in revenue resulted from an increase in revenue attributable to both of our product groups.
The increase in revenue from 3D printing machines of $4,497 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, or 20.7%, resulted primarily from higher volumes (46 units sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 versus 35 units sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2020), partially offset by an unfavorable mix of machines sold.
The increase in revenue from 3D printed and other products, materials and services of $4,468 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, or 22.1%, resulted primarily from an increase of $2,734 in consumable materials and aftermarket revenues based on growth in our global installed base of 3D printing machines and an increase of $2,005 associated with funded research and development arrangements (related to work performed on multiple government and commercial projects). Offsetting these increases were reductions in revenue of $490 from our global EACs (primarily driven by reductions in revenue at the metal EACs) based on lower customer demand for printed products.
Revenue for both product groups was negatively impacted by COVID-19, including disruptions to domestic and international shipping and travel (which caused delays in the timing of delivery and installation of 3D printing machines, driving corresponding delays in revenue recognition) in addition to negative macroeconomic effects on global manufacturing.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $13,721, compared with cost of sales of $13,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $221, or 1.6%. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $5,322, compared with gross profit of $3,899 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $1,423. Gross profit percentage was 27.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared with 22.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher revenue volumes, favorable product warranty experience and higher contribution margin from 3D printing machine sales based on the mix of machines sold, partially offset by higher overhead costs, including higher productive workforce costs due to increased headcount, and the continued impact of operating inefficiencies and challenges driven by the COVID-19 operating environment, resulting in higher input costs.
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $38,648, compared with cost of sales of $31,263 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $7,385, or 23.6%. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $12,198, compared with gross profit of $10,618 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $1,580. Gross profit percentage was 24.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared with 25.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The increase in gross profit during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to higher revenue volumes and favorable product warranty experience, partially offset by higher overhead costs, including higher productive workforce costs due to increased headcount, and the continued impact of operating inefficiencies and challenges driven by the COVID-19 operating environment, resulting in higher input costs.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $2,909, compared with research and development expenses of $2,013 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $896, or 44.5%. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to an increase of $376 in material-related costs incurred associated with systems and materials development of binder jetting technology and an increase of $369 in employee-related costs, principally due to headcount increases.
Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $8,541, compared with research and development expenses of $6,858 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $1,683, or 24.5%. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to an increase of $952 in material-related costs incurred associated with systems and materials development of binder jetting technology and an increase of $819 in employee-related costs, principally due to headcount increases.
20
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $9,585, compared with selling, general and administrative expenses of $4,825 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $4,760, or 98.7%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due an increase of $3,431 in consulting and professional fees (principally due to $3,376 in expenses related to the planned merger transaction), an increase in employee-related costs of $949 due to investments in our commercial infrastructure, an increase of $148 in sales promotion and trade show expenses, and an increase of $107 in travel-related expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $22,676, compared with selling, general and administrative expenses of $15,476 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $7,200, or 46.5%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase of $4,197 in consulting and professional fees (principally due to $3,477 in expenses related to the planned merger transaction), an increase in employee-related costs of $1,239 due to investments in our commercial infrastructure, and an increase in commissions of $468 based on higher revenues. There was also an increase of $434 in sales promotion and trade show expenses, a $267 increase in equity-based compensation expense, and a $251 increase in insurance expense due to increased coverage and higher premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $2, compared with interest expense of $54 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $52, or 96.3%. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the absence of $34 in interest expense associated with the related party revolving credit facility recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and the absence of $18 in interest expense associated with the building note payable recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The related party revolving credit facility was terminated (Note 10) and the building note payable was extinguished (Note 11) during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $169, compared with interest expense of $171 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $2, or 1.2%. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the absence of interest expense associated with the related party revolving credit facility following its termination during the three months ended March 31, 2021 (Note 10) and the absence of interest expense associated with the building note payable following its extinguishment during the three months ended March 31, 2021 (Note 11). We recognized interest expense of $113 associated with the related party revolving credit facility and $55 of interest expense associated with the building note payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. These decreases in interest expense were mostly offset by a $105 loss on the extinguishment of debt recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the termination of the related party revolving credit facility and a $14 loss on extinguishment of debt recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the extinguishment of the building note payable.
Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company received notice of full forgiveness of the PPP loan. As a result, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of the PPP loan of $2,220 during the three months ended September 30, 2021 (Note 11). The total gain on extinguishment of debt of $2,220 was comprised of $2,194 related to the forgiveness of principal and $26 related to the forgiveness of accrued interest.
Other (Income) Expense – Net
Other (income) expense – net for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was ($48), compared with other expense (income) – net of $314 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The change of $362 was principally due to favorable foreign exchange rate changes and the related impact on certain intercompany transactions between subsidiaries for which settlement has occurred or is planned.
Other expense (income) – net for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $63, compared with other expense (income) – net of $319 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease of $256 was principally due to favorable foreign exchange rate changes and the related impact on certain intercompany transactions between subsidiaries for which settlement has occurred or is planned.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $1 and ($34), respectively. The (benefit) provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was ($410) and $200, respectively. We have completed a discrete period computation of our provision (benefit) for income taxes for each of the periods presented. The discrete period computation was required as a result of jurisdictions with losses before income taxes for which no tax benefit can be recognized and an inability to generate reliable estimates for results in certain jurisdictions as a result of inconsistencies in generating net operating profits (losses) in those jurisdictions.
21
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was 0.0% (provision on a loss) and 1.0% (benefit on a loss), respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was 2.4% (benefit on a loss) and 1.9% (provision on a loss), respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the effective tax rate differed from the United States federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to net changes in valuation allowances for the period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the effective tax rate differed from the United States federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to net changes in valuation allowances for the period and recognition of a discrete income tax benefit of $412 related to the carryback of net operating losses in Japan. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we received confirmation from Japanese tax authorities that ExOne KK met the definition of a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) under Japanese tax regulations, eliminating certain restrictions on the use of net operating losses to offset taxable income. ExOne KK filed amended tax returns related to tax years 2016 through 2019 to carryback net operating losses, resulting in total tax refunds of $412.
We have provided a valuation allowance for certain of our net deferred tax assets as a result of our inability to generate consistent net operating profits in certain jurisdictions in which we operate. As such, certain benefits from deferred taxes in the periods presented have been fully offset by changes in the valuation allowance for the related net deferred tax assets. 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 net 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.
Impact of Inflation
Our results of operations and financial condition are presented based on historical cost. While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our results of operations and financial condition are not significant.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred a net loss in each of our annual periods since our inception. We incurred a net loss of $4,907 and $16,621 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. At September 30, 2021, we had $122,809 in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.
Common Stock Offerings
Since our inception we have received cumulative unrestricted net proceeds from the sale of our common stock (through our initial public offering and subsequent public offerings, including at-the-market offerings) of $303,255 to fund our operations.
In September 2020, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Canaccord Genuity LLC (“Canaccord”) pursuant to which Canaccord agreed to act as sales agent in the sale of up to $25,000 in the aggregate of our common stock in “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In February 2021, we terminated the Equity Distribution Agreement. At the time of the termination of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the remaining maximum offering capacity was $9,269. We did not sell any shares of our common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement during 2021 prior to its termination. There were no fees or penalties incurred by us in connection with the termination of the Equity Distribution Agreement.
In February 2021, following the termination of the Equity Distribution Agreement, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, Canaccord and certain other underwriters pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell up to 1,666,667 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $54.00 per share. Under the agreement, we agreed to pay underwriting discounts and commissions of $2.835 per share, as well as reimburse the underwriters for certain expenses. In addition, we granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 205,907 shares of our common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters exercised their option to purchase 205,907 shares of our stock in-full.
22
As a result of this common stock offering, during February 2021, we sold 1,872,574 shares of our common stock and received net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions) of $95,725. We incurred expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions) associated with the common stock offering of $266, all of which was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
We have not sold any shares of our common stock through common stock offerings subsequent to the February 2021 common stock offering.
Related Party Revolving Credit Facility
On March 12, 2018, we and our ExOne Americas LLC and ExOne GmbH subsidiaries, as guarantors (collectively, the “Loan Parties”), entered into a Credit Agreement and related ancillary agreements with LBM Holdings, LLC (“LBM”), a company controlled by S. Kent Rockwell, who was our Executive Chairman (a related party) at such date and is currently our Chairman, relating to a $15,000 revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) to provide additional funding to us for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement provided a credit facility for a term of three years (through March 12, 2021), bearing interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 500 basis points. The Credit Agreement required a commitment fee of 75 basis points, or 0.75%, on the unused portion of the facility, payable monthly in arrears. In addition, an up-front commitment fee of 125 basis points, or 1.25% ($188), was required at closing. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were collateralized by the accounts receivable, inventories and machinery and equipment of the Loan Parties.
On February 18, 2020, the Loan Parties and LBM entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) which (i) reduced the available capacity under the revolving credit facility to $10,000, (ii) extended the term of the credit facility until March 31, 2024, (iii) increased the commitment fee to 100 basis points, or 1.00%, on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, and (iv) provided a process for the replacement of the LIBOR index after 2021. In addition, the accounts receivable of ExOne GmbH no longer served as collateral for borrowings under the amended revolving credit facility.
Under the terms of the amended credit facility, we could make prepayments against outstanding borrowings, reduce the credit commitment or terminate the credit commitment at any time without penalty.
On March 5, 2021, we terminated the related party revolving credit facility. There were no penalties associated with our termination of the related party revolving credit facility. Due to the termination, we accelerated the amortization of the remaining debt issuance costs associated with the related party revolving credit facility, resulting in recognition of a $105 loss on the extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
As the credit facility was terminated in March 2021, we did not recognize any interest expense related to the credit facility recognized subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2021. There were no borrowings under the credit facility during 2021 prior to its termination.
Paycheck Protection Program
On April 18, 2020, we entered into an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) with an unrelated United States bank (the “Lender”) reflecting a loan in the principal amount of $2,194 (the “Loan”). The Loan was granted pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) administered by the United States Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Loan bore interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum and matured on April 18, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). Under the terms of the Note, principal and interest payments on the Loan were deferred until November 18, 2020, at which time equal installments of principal and interest would have been due and payable monthly through the Maturity Date. Subsequent to us entering into the Note, in June 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 was enacted, which extended the deferral of principal and interest payments on the Loan from November 2020 to August 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the PPP, the Loan, or a portion thereof, could be forgiven if Loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, such as payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage interest payments, rent and utilities. We used all of the Loan proceeds for qualifying expenses.
During June 2021, we submitted an application to the SBA requesting full forgiveness of the Loan. On July 8, 2021, we received notice from the SBA that the Loan had been forgiven in full, including forgiveness of all interest accrued to date. This formal notice from the SBA legally released us of any obligations under the Loan. As a result, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of the PPP loan of $2,220 during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The total gain on extinguishment of debt of $2,220 was comprised of $2,194 related to the forgiveness of principal and $26 related to the forgiveness of accrued interest.
Building Note Payable
On May 21, 2012, we entered into a building note payable with an unrelated United States bank. Terms of the building note payable included monthly payments of $18, including interest at 4.00% through May 2017, and subsequently, monthly payments of $19
23
including interest at the monthly average yield on United States Treasury Securities plus 3.25% for the remainder of the term through May 2027.
On February 26, 2021, we extinguished our building note payable in-full through cash payment of $1,199. We did not incur any prepayment penalties related to the extinguishment of the building note payable in advance of the maturity date (May 2027). At the extinguishment date, the net carrying amount of the building note payable was $1,185. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $14 (included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed statement of consolidated operations and comprehensive loss), which represented the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
As the building note payable was terminated in February 2021, we did not recognize any interest expense related to the building note payable subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Operating Activities
Net cash used for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $18,046, compared with net cash used for operating activities of $12,615 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net cash outflows of $5,431 was due principally to an increase in our net loss, net of noncash items, a decrease in net cash inflows from customers (principally due to the timing of cash collections on 3D printing machine sales) and an increase in net cash outflows related to inventories. Partially offsetting these increases in net cash outflows was an increase in net cash inflows related to the timing of payments to our suppliers and vendors for our production and operating expenses.
Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $3,451, compared with net cash provided by investing activities of $15,457 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Activity for both periods included cash outflows for capital expenditures (consistent with our operating plans).
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash provided by investing activities included $16,229 in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, including the sale-leaseback of our European headquarters and operating facility in Gersthofen, Germany.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $96,460, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $30,556 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities primarily included cash inflows of $95,288 in proceeds from our common stock offerings, net of issuance costs (further discussed above) and $2,429 in proceeds from the exercise of stock options by employees, partially offset by $1,226 in cash outflows associated with the extinguishment of the building note payable (further discussed above).
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities included cash inflows of $27,699 in proceeds from at-the-market offerings of common stock, net of issuance costs (further discussed above), $2,194 in proceeds from
24
borrowings on long-term debt associated with our PPP Loan (further discussed above) and $858 in proceeds from the exercise of stock options by employees.
Financial Condition
The following summarizes the material changes in our financial condition from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021:
Restricted cash increased by $1,362 due to an increase in financial guarantees and letters of credit issued through our credit facility with a German bank, resulting in an increase of $1,270 in required cash collateral associated with those financial guarantees and letters of credit, and due to $92 in additional cash collateral required by a United States bank related to our corporate credit card program.
Accounts receivable increased by $3,487 based on the timing of cash payments by customers (principally the timing of cash collections on 3D printing machine sales).
Inventories increased by $4,516 due to increases in raw material inventories and work in process inventories consistent with our growth in backlog.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased by $1,862, primarily due to increases in prepayments to suppliers for 3D printing machine components and subassemblies and increases in prepaid insurance (primarily due to increased coverage and higher premiums).
Property and equipment – net increased by $1,515, mostly due to capital expenditures of $3,201 and net transfers of 3D printing machines from inventory to property and equipment of $1,610, partially offset by a decrease due to depreciation expense of $2,720 recognized during the period. The remaining decrease was primarily due to the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on property and equipment balances recorded in Germany and Japan.
Operating lease right-of-use assets decreased by $1,554, principally due to the amortization of the right-of-use asset associated with the lease for our European headquarters and operating facility in Gersthofen, Germany during the period.
Accounts payable increased by $3,156 due to the timing of payments to our suppliers and vendors for our production and operating expenses.
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities increased by $1,788, principally due to an increase of $1,668 in accrued professional services fees (primarily the accrual of expenses incurred in connection with the planned merger transaction).
Operating lease liabilities decreased by $1,554, principally due to payments made under the lease agreement for our European headquarters and operating facility in Gersthofen, Germany during the period.
Contract liabilities increased $3,015 based on the timing of cash payments by customers (principally the timing of cash collections on 3D printing machine sales consistent with growth in our backlog). Contract liabilities have also been impacted as a result of disruptions in delivery and installation of our 3D printing machines as a result of COVID-19.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2021. These controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021.
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are subject to various litigation, claims, and proceedings which have been or may be instituted or asserted from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of any pending or threatened matters will have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, other than as follows:
On August 11, 2021, we entered into a Merger Agreement with DM. See Part I, Item 1. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 1. Basis of Presentation of this report. There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in the proxy statement on Schedule 14A relating to the Mergers filed with the SEC on October 8, 2021 other than receiving clearance from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy on October 20, 2021, the expiration of the HSR waiting period on October 28, 2021 and the approval of the Mergers by our stockholders on November 9, 2021.
Item 2. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Compensation Committee of the Board may require or permit participants under the Plan to elect net settlement upon the vesting of restricted stock awards under the Plan in order to satisfy the related tax withholding obligations. Under net settlement, we withhold from the shares that would otherwise be delivered to the participant such number of shares of our common stock having an aggregate fair market value equal to the tax withholding obligation. When we withhold these shares, we are required to remit to the appropriate taxing authorities the aggregate fair market value of the shares withheld, which could be deemed a purchase of the common shares by us on the date of withholding.
A summary of our deemed repurchases of shares of our common stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to the vesting of restricted stock, as described above, during the three months ended September 30, 2021 is as follows:
