Summary of Third Quarter 2025 Results 

Revenue was $13.6 million. 3D Printer and parts revenue increased compared to the third quarter of 2024, driven by product mix and the number of systems sold. While system sales are expected to remain the primary driver of revenue in 2025, the Company anticipates that, under its new go-to-market strategy, its RPS parts production business will contribute an increasing share of revenue. 

Gross margin for the third quarter was 3.2% compared to 49.4% in the third quarter of 2024. Third quarter 2024 revenue included an one-off license revenue of $5 million which lifted overall gross margin significantly. Gross margin improved sequentially from the second quarter gross margin of (11.7%). The Company expects gross margin to continue to improve going forward as historical factors become a less significant driver of margin and as a result of operational efficiencies and an anticipated ramp-up of its RPS business. 

Operating expenses for the third quarter were $11.1 million compared to $22.9 million in the third quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expense of $2.0 million, were $9.0 million, down from $19.7 million in the third quarter of 2024. 

GAAP net loss for the third quarter was ($11.8) million compared to ($23.1) million in the third quarter of 2024. 

Non-GAAP net loss was ($9.2) million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was ($7.3) million compared to ($9.7) million in the year ago quarter.

About Velo3D:

Velo3D is a metal 3D printing technology company. 3D printing—also known as AM—has a unique ability to improve the way high-value metal parts are built. However, legacy metal AM has been greatly limited in its capabilities since its invention almost 30 years ago. This has prevented the technology from being used to create the most valuable and impactful parts, restricting its use to specific niches where the limitations were acceptable.

Velo3D has overcome these limitations so engineers can design and print the parts they want. The Company's solution unlocks a wide breadth of design freedom and enables customers in space exploration, aviation, power generation, energy, and semiconductor to innovate the future in their respective industries. Using Velo3D, these customers can now build mission-critical metal parts that were previously impossible to manufacture. The fully integrated solution includes the Flow print preparation software, the Sapphire family of printers, and the Assure quality control system—all of which are powered by Velo3D's Intelligent Fusion manufacturing process. The Company delivered its first Sapphire system in 2018 and has been a strategic partner to innovators such as SpaceX, Honeywell, Honda, Chromalloy, and Lam Research. Velo3D was named as one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies for 2024. For more information, please visit Velo3D.com, or follow the Company on LinkedIn or X.
