Velo3D Q2 Revenue Up 61% to $20M with $128M Profit

CAMPBELL, CA, Aug 15, 2022 – Velo3D, Inc. announced financial results for its second fiscal quarter of 2022.

“Our tremendous success in providing our customers with the industry leading additive manufacturing solutions they need is reflected in our revenue growth, increasing more than 15-fold since the first quarter of 2021,” said Benny Buller, CEO of Velo3D.  “We have accomplished this while the revenue of our peers has been relatively flat over the same period.  As a result, given our expected strength of our business in the second half of the year, it is possible that we will be the industry leader in metal additive manufacturing as we exit 2022, quicker than even we anticipated.”

“Demand for our industry-leading Sapphire family of systems remains high as we booked $18 million in new orders during the quarter and exited the quarter with $55 million in total backlog.  As a result of this strong demand, we now have significant visibility in achieving our revenue guidance this year as more than 95% of our 2022 revenue forecast is now either recognized, booked or recurring revenue. We also expanded our product leadership during the quarter with the recent launch of our Sapphire XC 1MZ.  With part sizes up to 10 cubic feet, we believe this is the world’s largest commercially available metal powder bed fusion production system with initial customer shipments commencing this quarter,” continued Buller.

“Looking forward, given our first half execution, strong second quarter bookings, revenue visibility through our backlog and the further scaling of Sapphire XC production, we are very confident in our ability to meet our 2022 revenue guidance of $89 million,” concluded Buller.

About Velo3D

Velo3D is a metal 3D printing technology company. 3D printing—also known as additive manufacturing (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 end-to-end 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 has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2021.
