CEO MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dear Shareholders, Exciting times are ahead, as your company continues to improve from the top to the bottom line. Additionally, a transformational M&A definitive agreement is expected to change our scale, makeup and merits of the business model, exponentially. On our business as it is today The first point to highlight is this year's quarterly revenue of $15.0 million. This is a record, especially in the context of alleged macroeconomic headwinds and high interest rates that seemingly all companies in our industry attest to as being meaningfully challenging. Our exposure to markets indicates "headwinds" mostly in central Europe, at this point. But we are not only resting on our laurels. We see continued improvements in our financial strength as we move below the top-line and into our cash flow. This has been the focus of our leadership team since we announced our Reshaping Nano Initiative in Q3/2023. Our efforts are bearing fruit. In comparing our H1 figures for 2024 vs. 2023, we see a 183 bps improvement in gross margin and a $40 million reduction in net cash burn. The latter is a monumental change and a reflection of the hard work of our team to realize synergies and organizational efficiencies. It is also important to call out that our improved financial strength has not come at the expense of innovation. In Q2/2024, we saw our industrial AI group, DeepCube, along with our respective materials and software teams, all work on new developments that will advance the impact of our products and services for our customers. Our Additive Electronics team implemented a new Integrated Inspection System (I2S), which brings together pick-and-place functionality with inline inspection. The team at Global Inkjet Systems Ltd. ("GIS") also announced a new partnership with Esko-Graphics BV and Fiery, LLC that combines the partners' respective workflow automation, prepress, color management, and job management solutions with GIS's advanced print control systems, creating a streamlined process for Industry 4.0 smart printing. Outlook, moving forward: There is more to do. While our employees should be proud of what they have achieved, management should not rest. The future of Nano Dimension will undoubtedly be shaped by the eventual closing of our agreement to acquire Desktop Metal, Inc. ("DM"), which we worked on initially since late 2022, again in late 2023, and announced on July 3rd, 2024. This acquisition will create a leader in AM. The combined company will bring together outstanding teams and one of the most advanced portfolios in AM for mass production. I also believe this combination is compelling as the products and services portfolio can be characterized as having long term high growth potential. Together, we will accelerate our industry's transition to integrated digital manufacturing solutions. Now that the deal is signed, the team is committed to preparing for realizing synergies to the greatest extent possible and as soon as possible. To do this, we are working on a post-merger integration plan to ensure a seamless transition from day one after closing of the transaction. I believe this acquisition was secured at an exceptionally compelling valuation for our shareholders with the total consideration being at most $183 million, and, with some potential adjustments, as low as $135 million. This creates a pro forma company that, based on the last full year figures from 2023, had revenue of $246 million with 28% of that generated from recurring revenue associated with consumables and services. Having said that, we intend, if needed, to forgo inflating the top line, for the benefit, if possible, of improved EBITDA and reduction of negative cash flow while driving toward cash generation and positive profits. In closing, with our recent and continued financial advancements along with a definitive agreement to acquire DM, our team is "laser focused" on generating returns and expanding value for our shareholders. We will continue to pursue operational excellence and a M&A strategy that complements our offerings, supporting our journey to becoming leaders in digital manufacturing.

non-IFRS measure and is defined as income before taxes, excluding depreciation and amortization expenses and interest income. We believe that EBITDA, as described above, should be considered in evaluating the Company's operations. EBITDA facilitates the Company's performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, and the age and depreciation charges and amortization of fixed and intangible assets, respectively (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense, respectively), and EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company's operating performance without regard to the items mentioned above. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before other financial income, income tax, depreciation and amortization, share-based payments and other extraordinary income, net, which consists of additional compensation for damaged fixed assets. Other financial expenses (income), net includes exchange rate differences as well as finance income or revaluation of assets and liabilities. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, as described above, should also be considered in evaluating the company's operations. Like EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting other financial expenses (income), net), and the age and depreciation charges and amortization of fixed and intangible assets, respectively (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense, respectively), as well as from share-based payment expenses, and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company's operating performance without regard to non-cash items, such as expenses related to share-based payments. Adjusted gross profit, excluding depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expenses, is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as gross profit excluding amortization expenses. We believe that adjusted gross profit, as described above, should also be considered in evaluating the Company's operations. Adjusted gross profit facilitates gross profit and gross margin comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in amortization of inventory and intangible assets. Adjusted gross profit is useful to an investor in evaluating our performance because it enables investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company's performance without regard to non-cash items, such as amortization expenses. Adjusted gross margin is calculated by dividing the adjusted gross profit by the revenues. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted gross profit do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Other companies may calculate these measures differently than we do. Net Income / Loss excluding changes in Company's holdings in Stratasys' shares. We believe that by excluding the value of the Company's holdings in Stratasys' shares we neutralize the volatility of these shares and provide investors an additional measurement to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and its liquidity. This measurement should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance or as a measure of our liquidity. This measurement should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Net cash burn is a non-IFRS measure and defined as the change in cash, cash equivalents and deposits net of treasury shares repurchase and Stratasys shares. We believe that net cash burn, as described above, should be considered in evaluating the Company's financial strength. Net cash burn gives a sense of how our use of cash and cash flow has changed overtime. Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs

Nano Dimension Announces Q2/2024 and H1/2024 Results By Investing.com

Continued Improvement in Financial Strength and Transformational M&A Transaction Definitive Agreement Announced to Acquire Desktop Metal Following Quarter End Creating a Leader in Additive Manufacturing Company improves Net cash burn1 by further reduction of expenses : Details regarding Adjusted GM, Net Income / Loss excluding changes in Company's holdings on Stratasys' shares, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Cash Burn can be found below in this press release under non-IFRS measures. ____ 1 Change in cash, cash equivalents and deposits net of treasury shares repurchase. Exciting times are ahead, as your company continues to improve from the top to the bottom line. Additionally, a transformational M&A definitive agreement is expected to change our scale, makeup and merits of the business model, exponentially. On our business as it is today The first point to highlight is this year's quarterly revenue of $15.0 million. This is a record, especially in the context of alleged macroeconomic headwinds and high interest rates that seemingly all companies in our industry attest to as being meaningfully challenging. Our exposure to markets indicates headwinds mostly in central Europe, at this point. But we are not only resting on our laurels. We see continued improvements in our financial strength as we move below the top-line and into our cash flow. This has been the focus of our leadership team since we announced our Reshaping Nano Initiative in Q3/2023. Our efforts are bearing fruit. In comparing our H1 figures for 2024 vs. 2023, we see a 183 bps improvement in gross margin and a $40 million reduction in net cash burn. The latter is a monumental change and a reflection of the hard work of our team to realize synergies and organizational efficiencies. It is also important to call out that our improved financial strength has not come at the expense of innovation. In Q2/2024, we saw our industrial AI group, DeepCube, along with our respective materials and software teams, all work on new developments that will advance the impact of our products and services for our customers. Our Additive Electronics team implemented a new Integrated Inspection System (I2S), which brings together pick-and-place functionality with inline inspection. The team at Global Inkjet Systems Ltd. (GIS) also announced a new partnership with Esko-Graphics BV and Fiery, LLC that combines the partners' respective workflow automation, prepress, color management, and job management solutions with GIS's advanced print control systems, creating a streamlined process for Industry 4.0 smart printing. Outlook, moving forward: There is more to do. While our employees should be proud of what they have achieved, management should not rest. The future of Nano Dimension will undoubtedly be shaped by the eventual closing of our agreement to acquire Desktop Metal, Inc. (DM), which we worked on initially since late 2022, again in late 2023, and announced on July 3rd, 2024. This acquisition will create a leader in AM. The combined company will bring together outstanding teams and one of the most advanced portfolios in AM for mass production. I also believe this combination is compelling as the products and services portfolio can be characterized as having long term high growth potential. Together, we will accelerate our industry's transition to integrated digital manufacturing solutions. Now that the deal is signed, the team is committed to preparing for realizing synergies to the greatest extent possible and as soon as possible. To do this, we are working on a post-merger integration plan to ensure a seamless transition from day one after closing of the transaction. I believe this acquisition was secured at an exceptionally compelling valuation for our shareholders with the total consideration being at most $183 million, and, with some potential adjustments, as low as $135 million. This creates a pro forma company that, based on the last full year figures from 2023, had revenue of $246 million with 28% of that generated from recurring revenue associated with consumables and services. Having said that, we intend, if needed, to forgo inflating the top line, for the benefit, if possible, of improved EBITDA and reduction of negative cash flow while driving toward cash generation and positive profits. In closing, with our recent and continued financial advancements along with a definitive agreement to acquire DM, our team is laser focused on generating returns and expanding value for our shareholders. We will continue to pursue operational excellence and a M&A strategy that complements our offerings, supporting our journey to becoming leaders in digital manufacturing.
