On October 23, 2023, Fathom appointed Carey Chen as Chief Executive Officer of the company succeeding Ryan Martin. Mr. Chen has significant global manufacturing experience and an extensive background in supporting companies across the industrial landscape. He has served as a member of Fathom’s Board of Directors since April 2021 and as a Director to Fathom’s predecessor companies since 2019.

“I am optimistic that there are opportunities to return to revenue growth and sustainable profitability over time. We’ve added new sales and operating leadership,” said Carey Chen, Fathom’s Chief Executive Officer. “Together with the valued employees throughout Fathom, we will move with urgency to optimize the performance of the company.”

In commenting on the third quarter financial results, Mark Frost, Chief Financial Officer, said, “Revenue in the quarter came in at the low-end of our expectations. We saw more stable order rates as the quarter progressed and believe we are set up to return to profitable growth in 2024 as we realize the full benefits of our cost optimization efforts.”

Year Over Year Summary of Financial Results – (Third Quarter and Nine Months)

Revenue for the third quarter of 2023 was $31.5 million compared to $40.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of 21.8% due to lower order volumes, primarily impacting Fathom’s production precision sheet metal and CNC product lines. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenue totaled $100.9 million versus $122.7 million compared to the comparable period last year.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 totaled $8.3 million, or 26.3% of revenue, compared to $15.1 million, or 37.5% of revenue, in the same period a year ago. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $30.7 million, or 30.5% of revenue, compared to $42.6 million, or 34.7% of revenue, which includes approximately $3.2 million in non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, for the same period in 2022.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2023 was $(8.6) million compared to a net loss of $(1,039.0) million in the third quarter of 2022. Excluding the revaluation of Fathom warrants and earnout shares, stock compensation expense, optimization plan expenses, and other costs, Fathom reported an adjusted net loss in the third quarter of 2023 of $(7.2) million compared to an adjusted net income of $5.4 million for the same period in 2022.

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $(17.2) million compared to net loss of $(985.7) million in the comparable period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the adjusted net loss was $(18.3) million compared to the adjusted net income of $6.1 million for the same period in 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2023 was $3.1 million versus $7.1 million for the same period in 2022 primarily due to lower volume leverage, partially offset by cost savings from the execution of Fathom’s optimization plan. The Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter was 9.8%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were $12.0 million and 11.9%, respectively, compared to Adjusted EBITDA loss of $21.9 million and 17.8% for the same period in 2022.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this press release are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “estimates,” “projects,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “future,” “propose,” “target,” “goal,” “objective,” “outlook” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside the control of Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation (“Fathom”) that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include: the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of our business combination with Altimar Acquisition Corp. II; changes in general economic conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or any future outbreaks of other highly infectious or contagious disease; the implementation of our optimization plan could result in greater costs and fewer benefits than we anticipate; the outcome of litigation related to or arising out of the business combination, or any adverse developments therein or delays or costs resulting therefrom; the ability to meet the New York Stock Exchange’s listing standards following the consummation of the business combination; costs related to the business combination and additional factors discussed in Fathom’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 7, 2023, as amended on May 1, 2023, as well as Fathom’s other filings with the SEC. If any of the risks described above materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by our forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that Fathom does not presently know or that Fathom currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Fathom’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Fathom’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. Fathom undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements made by management or on its behalf whether as a result of future developments, subsequent events or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful in evaluating our operating performance, as they are similar to measures reported by our public competitors and regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not intended to be a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

We define and calculate Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) before the impact of any change in the estimated fair value of the company’s warrants or earnout shares, tax receivable agreement liability, optimization plan expenses, goodwill impairment, stock-based compensation, and certain other non-cash and non-core items, as described in the reconciliation included in the appendix to this press release. We define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before the impact of interest income or expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the following items: change in the estimated fair value of the company’s warrants or earnout shares, tax receivable agreement liability, optimization plan expenses, goodwill impairment, stock-based compensation, and certain other non-cash and non-core items, as described in the reconciliation included in the appendix to this press release. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain expenses that are required in accordance with U.S. GAAP because they are non-recurring (for example, in the case of optimization plan expenses), non-cash (for example, in the case of depreciation, amortization, goodwill impairment, and stock-based compensation) or are not related to our underlying business performance (for example, in the case of interest income and expense). Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. We include these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate Fathom’s core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments.

Information reconciling forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP financial measures is unavailable to Fathom without unreasonable effort. The company is not able to provide reconciliations of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP financial measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of Fathom’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the provision for income taxes. Preparation of such reconciliations would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to Fathom without unreasonable effort. Fathom provides a range for its Adjusted EBITDA forecast that it believes will be achieved, however it cannot accurately predict all the components of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation. Fathom provides an Adjusted EBITDA forecast because it believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the company’s results under GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted above. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating activities as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity.
