“With record total revenue, organic revenue, and gross margins, the fourth quarter was an exceptional finish to a revolutionary year for Desktop Metal,” stated Ric Fulop, CEO and co-founder of Desktop Metal. “We also recently commenced shipments of our flagship Production System P-50, a major milestone for Desktop Metal and the Additive Manufacturing industry.”
“In addition to the team’s achievement on P-50, we’re entering 2022 with considerable tailwinds toward another year of record growth including continued momentum from the best quarter in company history, robust customer demand across our unmatched AM 2.0 solutions portfolio, and favourable market conditions as the additive market inflects,” continued Fulop. “We believe our strategic priorities in 2022 will ensure continued success toward achieving our goal of double-digit share of the over $100 billion Additive Manufacturing market by the end of the decade.”
For its outlook for the full year 2022, Desktop Metal states that it expects revenue of approximately $260 million for 2022, representing 131% growth from 2021. An adjusted EBITDA of about $(90) million is expected for 2022.
