Prodways Group: a rewarding long-term strategy
The strategic axis implemented since 2013 have proven their relevance
Since its creation, Prodways Group has focused on technologies serving industrial production for mass manufacturing. The company's expertise in printers was quickly complemented by the development of 3D materials and print-on-demand activities. The joint work of these teams, for nearly 10 years, has enabled Prodways to offer one of the most reliable technologies on the market for industrial production. The performance and quality of Prodways Machines & Materials have enabled the group to win international tenders in Europe, the USA and Asia-Pacific.
Prodways has also been able to focus at the right time on supportive markets in 3D printing. In particular, it has focused on the needs of the medical sector since 2014, which is now the largest consumer of 3D printing and offers significant opportunities against the backdrop of the digitalization of its processes. Prodways Group is now one of the world's reference players in 3D printing for the dental sector. Overall, customers in the medical sector now represent nearly 50% of Prodways' revenues.
These development paths have enabled Prodways to build up a significant base of recurring revenues, representing around 65% of revenues at the end of June 2022. These include recurring consumption of 3D materials, which has been rising sharply for several years, as well as recurring orders from numerous customers equipped with Prodways solutions, such as the network of over 1,000 audiologists in France.
A long-term strategy of growth and profitability that is bearing fruit
The strong revenue growth of 22% in the first half of 2022 was accompanied by a clear improvement in Prodways Group's profitability across all its indicators (current EBITDA, operating profit, cash generation). Prodways' strategy of pursuing both revenue growth and profitability is now proving its relevance in a context of rising interest rates and concerns about the sustainability of certain 3D printing companies that are still loss-making.

Since the launch of its activities in 2014, Prodways has achieved an average revenue growth of +46% per year, combining organic and external growth. At the same time, the current EBITDA margin has increased from -42% in 2014 to +19% in the first half of 2022, reaching €7.9 million. This result materialized in cash generation of +6.9 M€2 , 16% more than for the full year 2021. This financial performance makes Prodways the most profitable company among the main listed 3D companies3 .
This financial strength confers significant competitive advantages to accelerate its growth trajectory, such as:
- The ability to convince customers to commit to ambitious long-term industrial projects
- Continued targeted investment in R&D
- The ramping up of commercial efforts to accelerate organic growth
- The pursuit of external growth.

Revenues of the first half 2022: +22% growth compared to the first half 2021
Prodways Group achieved strong revenue growth in the first half of 2022, driven by both organic growth of +15% and the momentum of external growth. This performance is the combined result of:
- The ramp-up in industrial production resulting in significant sales of printers and materials.
- A record half-year for the Software activity, which benefited in Q1 2022 from anticipated orders, securing part of the revenue for the year.
- Solid growth in on-demand printing services, both organically and through the successful integration of Creabis in 2021.
- A good level of revenue from medical applications, which remains close to that of the first semester 2021 despite the unfavorable base effect (significant catch-up effect in H1 2021 when medical practices reopened).
More details on the evolution of revenues are available in the dedicated press release of July 25, 2022.
Record profitability
Prodways Group generated current EBITDA of €7.9 million in the first half of 2022, up 75% compared to the first half of 2021.
This improvement is the result of several factors:
- The capacity to maintain a gross margin of over 50%, reflecting good execution of operations and control of supplies in a context of global tensions.
- Significant operating leverage thanks to the investments made in recent years and the reorganization carried out in 2020-2021. Prodways' current industrial structure should enable the group to generate more revenues and pursue its growth trajectory.
- The growing contribution of 3D materials sales, with high added-value
- The benefit of a debt waiver in the United States in connection with public support during the health crisis, generating +€0.9 million in income for the period4 .
As a result, Prodways' operating profit for the first half of the year was five times higher than in the first half of 2021, at €5.1 million
The consolidated financial statements are available in the appendix at the end of this press release.
4 As a reminder, Prodways Group also benefited from a waiver of €0.9 million in the first half of 2021.
Record cash generation and a solid balance sheet
Prodways is positioned as one of the few profitable companies in the 3D printing sector and has consolidated its balance sheet to support the foundations of sustainable growth. The Group's cash flow from operations reached €6.9 million in the first half of 2022, more than three times the amount generated in the first half of 2021 and already 16% higher than the amount generated over the full year 2021.
This performance is partially offset by the higher-than-normal change in working capital (+€3.4 million in H1 2022, to €3.8 million). This increase is explained by a rise in inventories as a precautionary measure for production needs, as well as the impact of the change in seasonality due to anticipated sales in the Software activity. The level of working capital should decrease by the end of the year back to a normal level of around 3% to 4% of annual revenues.
In the end, the Group is still in a positive net cash position (of €1.8 million), with €19 million of cash available at the end of June 202.

Results by division
Systems Division: an exceptional semester
Reliable technologies that set the standards in the market
Prodways' Systems Division achieved a number of successes this semester, particularly in its Machines & Materials activity. The performance of the MovingLight® LD printers, the second generation of this technology, combined with Prodways' proprietary 3D resins (such as the Absolute Aligner resin), is now recognized by many players in the dental sector worldwide. The productivity of the machines, their precision over several years and the quality of the finished products are setting references in the market and have enabled Prodways to win industrial projects for multi-machine production sites. In addition to new customers, almost all of the group's existing customers are increasing their consumption of materials, taking advantage of the buoyant medical market.
These commercial successes, following on from those of 2021, have led to a strong expansion of Prodways' international business. France now accounts for only 12% of Machines & Materials revenues, while North America now accounts for 1/3 of revenues.
Breakdown of Machines & Materials revenues, evolution compared to 2020

Strong structural growth enhanced by exceptional items
The Systems Division's revenues are up by +22% this half-year compared to the first half of 2021. This performance is the combined result of:
- A +20% growth in the medical sector
- A +17% increase in revenues generated by the other industrial sectors
- +€0.9 million in sales achieved earlier than expected in the first half of the year, initially expected in the second half of the year5 .
On the back of this strong revenue growth, this division achieved a current EBITDA margin of 23% this half-year, up +6 pts compared with the 1st half of 2021. This profitability is supported by good control of gross margins, the reduction in indirect costs as a proportion of revenues and the growing contribution of material sales. It was enhanced this halfyear by the waiver of a debt in the United States in the context of public support during the health crisis, representing an impact of +€0.9 million.
Products Division: continuous progress since the end of 2021
Digital Manufacturing (3D printing on demand): robust and growing demand
This activity, which was slow to recover from the crisis last year, has grown organically by +8% and +47% including the acquisition of Creabis. This activity benefits from four growth levers:
- The adoption of Prodways' services by a growing number of customers: more than 150 new accounts since the beginning of the year.
5 Revenues generated in H1 2022 by customers who should have renewed their SOFTWARE licenses mainly in H2 2022.
- A 13% increase in the average order size, illustrating the gradual penetration of our technologies in manufacturing processes.
- The success of the 3D Molding offer, with more than 60 projects since the beginning of the year, compared to about 15 last year. This innovative technique enables to produce a mold in 3D printing and then inject the parts in the right material, thus freeing the clients from the costs, design constraints and lead times of traditional injection tools.
- The volume of orders has increased by 85% via the digital platform Prodline, which allows customers to submit their digital models directly and order their parts.
The development of this activity has been accelerated by the acquisition of Creabis, whose successful integration is generating twice as many synergies as initially planned. The pooling of resources has made the new entity's offering more attractive and has resulted in a cross-selling volume that is well above expectations.
In total, nearly 55% of the Digital Manufacturing business' revenues are now generated from French customers and nearly 45% from foreign customers, notably in Germany, Italy and Switzerland.
Integrated medical activities: strong momentum in audiology
Integrated medical activities, in which Prodways offers complete digital solutions from impression taking to delivery to the client (practitioner or end user), are driven by the performance of audiology. It accounts for nearly 75% of the revenues of this segment, taking into account the recent acquisition.
Revenue growth was driven in particular by past commercial successes, which are having an impact this half-year. Prodways forged some twenty new partnerships with emblematic customers (such as EDF, Bouygues, Yves Rocher, Aéroports de Paris, SNCF, Derichebourg, Colas, BIC, etc.) to equip their employees with hearing protection. This momentum is now reinforced by the acquisition of Auditech Innovations, completed in early July 2022.
Significant improvement in results
Along with the 21% revenue growth, the Products division generated a current EBITDA of €2.3 million in the first half of the year, up 64%. The current EBITDA margin reached 15% and reflects:
- The improvement of the gross margin thanks to good price and cost control.
- Operating leverage, with indirect costs decreasing in proportion to revenues. Past investments, notably in the Annecy production site, give the existing industrial tool the capacity to generate more revenues in the future.
Thanks to this progress, the Products Division has achieved generated the highest income from ordinary operations of its history with €0.8 million.
Guidance 2022
At the end of July 2022, Prodways Group raised its revenue guidance for the year 2022, now targeting growth of around +15% including recent acquisitions (compared with "around 10%" previously).
The group's profitability, adjusted for exceptional items in the first half of the year, should remain at its current level. Prodways Group is therefore targeting a current EBITDA margin of between 15% and 20% for the full year 2022.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The condensed half-year consolidated financial statements of the PRODWAYS GROUP cover a period of six months, from 1 January to 30 June 2022. They were approved by the Board of Directors on 14 September 2022.
The Group notes seasonal variations in its activities that may affect the level of revenue from one half-year to another. Thus, the interim results are not necessarily indicative of those that can be expected for the full year.
The highlights of the first half of the year are described in the activity report.
NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
1.1 Accounting principles
The Group prepares half-year consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim financial information". They do not include all the information required for the preparation of the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended on 31 December 2021, as they appear in the Universal Registration Document approved by the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des Marchés Financiers – AMF) on 27 April 2022.
The accounting principles used for the preparation of the half-year consolidated financial statements comply with the regulations and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union as of 30 June 2022. These accounting principles are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended on 31 December 2021.
The Group has applied all standards, amendments and interpretations that are mandatory for financial years beginning after 1 January 2022:
New standards and interpretations without significant impact on the consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2022
- amendments to IFRS 3 Business combinations: references to the conceptual framework;
- amendments to IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment: recognition of revenue generated before commissioning;
- 2018-2020 cycle of annual IFRS improvements;
- amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, contingent assets and liabilities: onerous contracts, notion of costs directly related to the contract.
The new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards and applicable to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 were not adopted early by the Group on 1 January 2022. They concern:
standards adopted by the European Union:
- amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of the financial statements and Practical application guide 2: disclosures on accounting policies,
- amendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies, changes in estimates and errors: definition of accounting estimates,
- IFRS 17 and amendments Insurance contracts;
standards not adopted by the European Union:
- amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of the financial statements: classification of current and non-current liabilities,
- amendments to IAS 12 Income tax: deferred tax on assets and liabilities arising from the same transaction.
These new standards are being analyzed by the Group when they are applicable to it.
1.2 Valuation methods and rules
The financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, with the exception of derivative instruments and available-for-sale financial assets, which have been measured at fair value. Other financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Hedging instruments are measured at fair value.
The preparation of the financial statements requires that Executive Management of the Group or the subsidiaries make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position, the reported amounts of income and expense items on the income statement and the commitments relating to the period under review. Actual subsequent results may differ.
The above-mentioned assumptions mainly concern:
- the calculation of the recoverable amounts of assets;
- the measurement of provisions for risks and charges;
- the calculation of income upon completion of work in progress;
- the valuation of pension obligations;
- the recoverability of deferred taxes;
- the valuation of the allocation of free shares.
As the Group's consolidated companies operate in different sectors, the valuation and impairment methods used for certain items may vary according to the sector.
The valuation methods and rules applied to the half-year consolidated financial statements are similar to those described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for 2021 (please see the Company's Universal Registration Document approved by the AMF on 27 April 2022).
NOTE 2 SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION
The full list of consolidated companies is included in Note 14.
The Group did not experience any change in the scope of consolidation during the half-year.
NOTE 3 SEGMENT INFORMATION
In accordance with IFRS 8 – Operating segments, the segment information presented below is based on the internal reporting used by Executive Management to assess the performance of and allocate resources to the various segments. Executive Management is the principal operational decision maker within the meaning of IFRS 8.
The two divisions defined as operating segments are the following (main companies):
- PRODUCTS division: INITIAL, CREABIS, CRISTAL, PODO 3D, INTERSON PROTAC;
- SYSTEMS division: PRODWAYS PRINTERS, DELTAMED, SOLIDSCAPE, AVENAO group.
The key indicators by division presented in the tables below are the following:
- the backlog, which corresponds to revenue yet to be recognized in respect of orders recorded;
- revenue includes revenue made with other divisions;
- current EBITDA;
- operating result;
- operating income;
- the Research and Development expenses recognized in the assets during the financial year;
- other tangible and intangible investments.
3.1 Reconciliation of the non-IFRS indicators and segment indicators with the consolidated operating income
The Group uses non-IFRS financial information for the purposes of information, management and planning because they offer a better assessment of its long-term performance. This additional information is not a substitute for any IFRS measures of operating and financial performance.
Operating income includes all income and expenses other than:
- interest income and expenses;
- other financial income and expenses;
- corporate income tax.
To make it easier to compare financial years and monitor operating performance, the Group has decided to isolate certain items of operating income and present an "Operating result" (formerly "Current operating income"). It also uses a current EBITDA indicator. These non-accounting indicators do not constitute financial aggregates defined by IFRS; they are alternative performance indicators. They may not be comparable to similarly named indicators by other companies, depending on the definitions used by them.
- The operating result is the operating income before "Other items of operating income", which include the restructuring costs, recognized or fully provisioned if they are liabilities arising from a Group obligation to third parties, which stem from a decision taken by a competent body, and which materialize before the reporting date through the announcement of said decision to third parties and provided the Group no longer expects consideration for these costs. These costs consist primarily of compensation for termination of employment contracts, severance pay, as well as miscellaneous expenses. The other items included on this line of the income statement concern the costs of free share allocations, the costs of acquisition and disposal of activities, amortization of acquired intangible assets recorded under business combinations impairment of goodwill, and all unusual items by their occurrence or amount.
- Current Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) are defined by the Group as operating income before "Net depreciation, amortization and provisions", "Group share of the earnings of affiliated companies" and "Other items of operating income".
The 2022 and 2021 segment income statements are reconciled below with the Group's consolidated financial statements. They are prepared in accordance with the Group's operational reporting.
The aggregates between operating income and net income are not tracked by segment in the Group's operational reporting.

As part of its restructuring projects initiated in 2020, the Group scrapped these impaired assets during the half-year for €1.6 million.
4.3 Trade receivables, contract assets and liabilities
Trade receivables are invoiced receivables entitling the issuer to payment.
"Contract assets" and "Contract liabilities" are determined on a contract-by-contract basis. "Contract assets" correspond to contracts in force for which the value of created assets exceeds the advances received. "Contract liabilities" correspond to all contracts in a situation where the assets (receivables in progress) are less than the liabilities (advances from clients and deferred income recorded when the invoices issued exceed the revenue recognized to date). These headings result from the application of IFRS 15.
The backlog (revenue to be recognized) is indicated by division in Note 3.1.
| (in thousands of euros) | 30/06/2022 | 30/06/2021 | 31/12/2021 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trade receivables | 13,786 | 12,161 | 12,798 |
| Impairment losses | (723) | (931) | (623) |

| Deferred income related to the Research Tax Credit | 3,488 | 3,015 |
| TOTAL OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES | 11,731 | 12,273 |
The deferred income includes subsidies and research tax credits (RTC), which partially or totally cover the cost of an asset, and are recognized in the income statement at the same rate as the asset's depreciation.
4.6 Leases
The leases restated under IFRS 16 had a total asset value of €6.9 million and a very limited impact of €124 thousand on the income statement (Group share). In accordance with IFRS 16, the lease expenses are replaced by a depreciation expense for assets known as "Right-of-use assets" amounting to €1,114 thousand (of which €67 thousand relating to finance leases that would have been valued in accordance with IAS 17) and by an interest charge on liabilities related to leases amounting to €42 thousand at 30 June 2022. Over the half-year, reversals of provisions amounting to €131 thousand were recorded following the termination of several property contracts. The movements during the half-year are detailed in the table below:
| (in thousands of euros) | Property | Other property, plant and equipment |
Prepaid payments | Total net assets | Lease liabilities on the liabilities side of the statement of financial position |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT 1 JANUARY 2022 | 6,021 | 1,228 | (38) | 7,212 | 7,477 |

| of which lease liabilities due in less than one year | 1,701 | ||||
of which lease liabilities due in more than one year 5,356
The application of IFRS 16 therefore has a significant impact on EBITDA as defined by the Group (see Note 3.1), with no significant impact on operating income and even less significant on net income. The current EBITDA for the half-year, which amounted to €7,886 thousand, would have amounted to €6,738 thousand without the application of IFRS 16.

The long-term provisions related solely to retirement benefits for an amount of €690 thousand. For this half-year, the assumptions used were the same as at 31 December 2021 except for the benchmark IBOXX 10+ discount rate, which changed from 0.98% to 3.22%. The impact on shareholders' equity for the period, due to this rate increase, was -€325 thousand (SORIE).
5.3 Share-based payments
PRODWAYS GROUP set up free share allocation plans in 2016, 2019 and 2021.
Definitive acquisitions of new PRODWAYS GROUP shares for which the vesting conditions were met took place in April 2019 (261,900 shares of the 2016 plan) and in February 2021 (186,408 shares of the 2019 plan).

PRODWAYS GROUP SA
Registered office: 30 rue de Gramont – 75002 PARIS Public limited company with capital of €25,631,975.50
In accordance with the mission entrusted to us by your Shareholders' Meeting and pursuant to Article L. 451 1 2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code, we have:
- conducted a limited review of the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements of PRODWAYS GROUP, relating to the period from 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022, as attached to this report;
- verified the information given in the half-year activity report.
These condensed half-year consolidated financial statements were prepared under the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
I - Conclusion on the financial statements
We conducted our review in accordance with the professional standards applicable in France.
A limited review consists mainly of meeting with the members of management in charge of accounting and financial aspects and implementing analytical procedures. This work is less extensive than that required for an audit conducted in accordance with the professional standards applicable in France. Consequently, the assurance that the financial statements, taken as a whole, are free from material misstatement obtained during a limited review is a moderate assurance, lower than that obtained in the context of an audit.
Based on our limited review, we did not identify any material misstatements that would call into question the compliance of the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements with IAS 34, the IFRS standard as adopted in the European Union, on interim financial information.
II - Specific verification
We have also verified the information provided in the half-year management report commenting on the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements on which our limited review was based.
We have no matters to report as to their fair presentation and their consistency with the consolidated financial statements.
