3D Systems (DDD) reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 11, 2025, delivering a strong performance that exceeded expectations. The company returned to profitability with a net income of $104.44 million, a 482.5% increase from a net loss of $-27.30 million in the same period last year, and guided for continued cost savings and positive cash flow by 2026.

Revenue
The company reported total revenue of $94.84 million in the second quarter of 2025, a 16.3% decline compared to $113.25 million in the year-ago period. Within the revenue breakdown, the Healthcare Solutions segment accounted for $45.02 million, while the Industrial Solutions segment generated $49.82 million, representing the company’s two core business lines.

Earnings/Net Income
3D Systems returned to profitability with an EPS of $0.79 in Q2 2025, a dramatic turnaround from a loss of $0.21 per share in Q2 2024, marking a 476.2% positive change. The company’s net income surged 482.5% year-over-year to $104.44 million, driven by cost-cutting initiatives and improved operational efficiencies.

Price Action
The stock price of 3D Systems fell 1.12% on the latest trading day but posted a 6.67% gain for the week. However, the stock dropped 3.30% month-to-date, reflecting mixed investor sentiment.

Post-Earnings Price Action Review
Investors relying on a strategy of buying 3D Systems shares on earnings release days and holding for 30 days saw poor returns over the past three years. The average return was -15.4%, with a range from -27.3% to -5.6%, underscoring the challenges of using earnings performance alone as a basis for investment.

CEO Commentary
Dr. Jeffrey Graves, President and CEO of 3D Systems, attributed the improved results to cost-reduction efforts, including workforce restructuring and facility consolidation. These initiatives helped reduce operating expenses and improve gross margins, despite $1 million in added costs from tariffs during Q2. He noted sequential revenue growth of 8% (excluding Geomagic) and strong performance in the Medical Technology and Aerospace & Defense sectors.

Guidance
The company expects continued cost savings through its restructuring programs, which are scheduled to extend through mid-2026. 3D Systems anticipates achieving positive cash flow in 2026 and expects tariff impacts to persist through the remainder of 2025. The company sees growth opportunities in Med Tech, particularly in orthopedic and trauma applications, and in Aerospace & Defense, driven by demand for its end-to-end 3D printing capabilities.
