Velo3D Announces First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

FREMONT, Calif., May 13, 2025- Velo3D, Inc. (OTCQX: VLDX), a leader in additive manufacturing (AM) technology known for transforming aerospace and defense supply chains through world-class metal AM, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Recent Business Developments

“Momentum is building across our business as we implement a number of strategic initiatives that we believe position Velo3D for sustainable, long-term growth and a return to profitability,” said Arun Jeldi, CEO of Velo3D. “We are seeing early results from our new go-to-market strategy, which is gaining significant traction with both new and existing customers, particularly in the defense and aerospace industries where domestic supply chain resiliency is a priority.”

Jeldi, continued, “A $15 million, five-year MSA with Momentus, along with our exclusive supply agreement with Amaero, further validates our RPS offering and underscores our expanding role in reshoring critical manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. RPS is designed to address the growing demand for scalable, high-quality parts by providing a seamless path from design to production. It reduces design cycles, accelerates production qualification and ensures consistent output through a U.S.-based supply chain. Awareness and interest are

accelerating among top-tier companies in defense, aerospace and technology, and we believe RPS could account for up to 40% of our revenue by 2026.”

Jeldi continued, “We further strengthened our leadership team with the appointment of retired U.S. Army Green Beret Brice Cooper as Vice President of Defense and Government Relations and welcomed Rear Admiral Jason Lloyd and Kenneth Thieneman to our Board of Directors. Their deep industry and defense expertise will be instrumental as we expand our presence in key strategic markets.”

Jeldi, concluded, “With a number of initiatives in motion, we believe we are in a strong position to execute our strategy and reclaim our leadership in additive manufacturing. We are already seeing measurable improvements in performance and expect sequential quarterly progress throughout 2025.”

Summary of First Quarter 2025 Results

Revenue was $9.3 million. System revenue decreased compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by a modest decrease in the number of printer sales, consistent with our strategy of maintaining Average Selling Price (ASP) by targeting high-value customers. While system sales are expected to remain the primary driver of revenue in 2025, the company anticipates that, under its new go-to-market strategy, its RPS parts production business will contribute an increasing share of revenue beginning in the second half of the year.

Gross margin for the first quarter was 7.5% compared to negative 28.8% in the first quarter of 2024. The improvement is a result of continued Build of Materials (BOM) cost reduction as well as manufacturing process optimization. The company expects gross margin to improve throughout 2025 as a result of operational efficiencies and an anticipated ramp-up of its Rapid Production Solutions business.

Operating expenses for the first quarter were $12.6 million compared to $18.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which excludes stock-based compensation expense of $3.9 million, were $8.8 million, down from $14.1 million in the first quarter of 2024.

GAAP net loss for the first quarter was $25.4 million compared to a loss of $28.3 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP net loss was $8.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, which excludes the non-cash loss from the warrant cancellation transaction that eliminated significant future liabilities. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was negative $6.9 million. For more information regarding the company’s non-GAAP financial measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $3.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1.2 million as of December 31, 2024.

About Velo3D:

Velo3D is a metal 3D printing technology company. 3D printing—also known as additive manufacturing (AM)—has a unique ability to improve the way high-value metal parts are built. However, legacy metal AM has been greatly limited in its capabilities since its invention almost 30 years ago. This has prevented the technology from being used to create the most valuable and impactful parts, restricting its use to specific niches where the limitations were acceptable.

Velo3D has overcome these limitations so engineers can design and print the parts they want. The company’s solution unlocks a wide breadth of design freedom and enables customers in space exploration, aviation, power generation, energy, and semiconductor to innovate the future in their respective industries. Using Velo3D, these customers can now build mission-critical metal parts that were previously impossible to manufacture. The fully integrated solution includes the Flow print preparation software, the Sapphire family of printers, and the Assure quality control system—all of which are powered by Velo3D’s Intelligent Fusion manufacturing process. The company delivered its first Sapphire system in 2018 and has been a strategic partner to innovators such as SpaceX, Honeywell, Honda, Chromalloy, and Lam Research. Velo3D has been named as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies for 2024. For more information, please visit Velo3D.com, or follow the company on LinkedIn or Twitter.

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 1996. 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 years 2025 and 2026 (including the company’s estimates for revenue and gross margin), the company’s expectations regarding its ability to achieve profitability in the first half of 2026, the company’s expectations about future demand, the company's strategic realignment and initiatives, the company’s expectations regarding its liquidity and capital requirements, the company’s expectations regarding its potential cost savings, the company’s expectations about its market strategy and financial and operational position, 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, 2024 (the “FY 2024 10-K”) 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, and (7) other risks and uncertainties described in the FY 2024 10-K, 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The information in the table below sets forth the non-GAAP financial measures that the company uses in this release. We believe these non-GAAP financial performance and liquidity measures are helpful in identifying trends in our day-to-day performance because the items excluded have little or no significance on our day-to-day operations. These measures provide an assessment of core expenses and afford management the ability to make decisions which are expected to facilitate meeting current financial goals as well as achieve optimal financial performance.

Each of our non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools. Because of these limitations, “Non-GAAP Net Loss”, “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Non-GAAP Operating Expenses”, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using Non-GAAP Net Loss, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Non-GAAP 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.

The following tables reconcile Net income (loss) to Non-GAAP Net Loss, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA and Total Operating Expenses to Non-GAAP Operating Expenses during the periods below:
