Summary of First Quarter 2026 Results
Total Revenue was $13.8 million. 3D Printer and parts revenue increased 60% compared to the first quarter of 2025, driven by an increase in the average selling price, number of systems sold, and an increase in RPS revenues. While system sales are expected to remain the primary driver of revenue in 2026, 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 first quarter was 17.2% compared to 7.5% in the first quarter of 2025. This change was primarily driven by the higher average selling price of Sapphire XC systems and increased RPS volume.
Operating expenses for the first quarter were $9.3 million compared to $12.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation recorded in operating expenses of $1.2 million, were $8.1 million, down from $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2025.
GAAP net loss for the first quarter was ($7.0) million compared to ($25.0) million in the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter was ($5.1) million compared to ($9.0) million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was ($3.6) million compared to ($6.9) million in the first quarter of 2025. For more information regarding the Company's non-GAAP financial measures, see "Non-GAAP Financial Information" below.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $16.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $39.0 million as of December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $12 million in new bookings and ending backlog of $30 million.
"On April 27, 2026, the Company closed a firm commitment underwritten registered direct offering of 3,571,428 shares of its common stock, with gross proceeds of approximately $50 million," said Jim Suva, CFO of Velo3D. "During the first quarter of 2026, the Company also completed debt-to-equity conversions totaling principal of $15 million, including $5 million converted at a premium to the Company's share price on the date of conversion, and full repayment of the secured notes. As a result, we reduced our outstanding debt by approximately 70% to approximately $9 million."
Guidance
Management reiterates expectations for the full year 2026 to include:
-- Revenue in the range of $60 million to $70 million.
-- Sequential improvement in gross margin.
-- Greater than 30% gross margin in second half of 2026.
-- Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses in the range of $45 million to $55
million.
-- Capital expenditures in the range of $40 million to $50 million,
primarily for RPS expansion, subject to the availability of sufficient
financing.
-- Positive EBITDA in the second half of 2026.

Forward-Looking Statements:
This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company's actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as "expect", "estimate", "project", "budget", "forecast", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "may", "will", "could", "should", "believes", "predicts", "potential", "continue", and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company's guidance for fiscal year 2026 (including the Company's estimates for revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, and capital expenditures), the Company's expectations regarding its ability to achieve positive EBITDA in the second half of 2026, the Company's expectations about future demand, growth, profitability, long-term value, capacity requirements and operational efficiencies, scaled production, pipeline of opportunities, customer priorities, positive gross margins, the Company's expectations regarding its liquidity and capital requirements, including plans to raise additional capital to support its expansion and the potential sources and uses of that capital, the Company's expectations regarding its potential cost savings, the Company's expectations about its market strategy and financial and operational position, the Company's expectations that the RPS parts
production business will contribute an increasing share of revenue, and the Company's other expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "FY 2025 10-K") and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Reports") and the other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside the Company's control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the inability of the Company to execute its business plan, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the Company's liquidity position/lack of available cash, the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its key employees; (2) the Company's ability to continue as a going concern; (3) the Company's ability to service and comply with its indebtedness; (4) the Company's ability to raise additional capital in the near-term; (5) the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (6) changes in the applicable laws and regulations; (7) risks related to the Company's exposure to government and defense contracts, including potential delays or reductions in government funding, government shutdowns, changes in defense procurement priorities or spending levels, and the timing and uncertainty of government contract awards and modifications; and (8) other risks and uncertainties described in the FY 2025 10-K and the Quarterly Reports, including those under "Risk Factors" therein, and in the Company's other filings with the SEC. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive and not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, including projections, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by applicable law.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
The information in the table below sets forth the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses in this release. Because of the inherent limitations associated with these non-GAAP financial measures, "Non-GAAP Net Loss", "Non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted share", "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses", should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from, and should not be compared to, similarly named measures used by other companies. The Company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using Non-GAAP Net Loss, Non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business.
Management believes adjusted "Non-GAAP Net Loss", "Non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted share", "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Expenses" are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to the Company's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure the Company's core operating results due to potential variability across periods based on the timing, frequency and magnitude of such items. As a result, management believes that these measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze trends in the Company's business and evaluate the Company's performance relative to peer companies.
Reconciliations of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and their most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are set forth below.
The Company's non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses are calculated by excluding stock-based compensation recorded in operating expenses. The Company's non-GAAP EBITDA is calculated by excluding interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. With respect to the Company's 2026 financial guidance regarding non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses and non-GAAP EBITDA, the Company cannot provide a quantitative reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort due to its inability to make accurate projections and estimates related to certain information needed to calculate some of the adjustments as described above.
