Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Proto Labs, Inc. (Protolabs, the Company, we, us or our) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, these adjustments consist of normal, recurring items. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. For further information, refer to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 16, 2024.
The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a full set of financial statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 16, 2024 as referenced above.
Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company did not recently adopt any accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, that enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by expanding annual disclosure requirements related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company is required to adopt this guidance for its annual year ending December 31, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, that updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses and information used to assess segment performance on an annual and interim basis. The Company is required to adopt this guidance for its annual year ending December 31, 2024 and all interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures.
Note 3 – Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had potentially dilutive common shares been issued and reduced by the number of shares the Company could have repurchased from the proceeds from issuance of the potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include stock options and other stock-based awards granted under stock-based compensation plans and shares committed to be purchased under the employee stock purchase plan. Performance stock units are excluded from the calculation of dilutive potential common shares until the performance conditions have been satisfied. Anti-dilutive options were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding and were 452,239 and 380,848 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 371,313 and 407,119 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Intangible assets allocated to the Protolabs Network entities consisted of intangible assets of €11.6 million in Europe and $16.6 million in the United States as of the date of the acquisition. The Euro denominated intangible assets are translated at the end of each period using the current exchange rates resulting in a foreign currency translation adjustment that is recorded as a component of Other Comprehensive Income. Foreign currency unrealized losses related to intangible assets were $1.7 million and $1.3 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $0.9 million and $1.5 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.9 million and $3.1 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standards Codification, Fair Value Measuremen t (ASC 820), defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company's assets and liabilities that are required to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company’s cash consists of bank deposits and cash equivalents consist primarily of money market mutual funds. The Company determines the fair value of these investments using Level 1 inputs. The Company's marketable securities consist of short-term and long-term agency, municipal, corporate and other debt securities. Fair value for the corporate debt securities is primarily determined based on quoted market prices (Level 1). Fair values for the U.S. municipal securities, U.S. government agency securities, certificates of deposit and U.S. treasury securities are primarily determined using dealer quotes or quoted market prices for similar securities (Level 2).
The following table summarizes financial assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Note 8 – Stock-Based Compensation
Under the Amended and Restated Proto Labs Inc. 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Company has the ability to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and cash incentive awards, which was approved by the Company's shareholders at a Special Meeting of Shareholders on August 29, 2022 and was amended and restated by the Company's shareholders at its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 23, 2024 (as amended and restated, the 2022 Plan) to increase the number of shares available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2022 Plan by an additional 430,000 shares, add a minimum vesting requirement, and extend the expiration date so that the term of the 2022 Plan runs for ten years from the date of the shareholder approval. Awards under the 2022 Plan have a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant. The compensation committee may provide that the vesting or payment of any award will be subject to the attainment of specified performance measures in addition to the satisfaction of any continued service requirements and the compensation committee will determine whether such measures have been achieved. The per-share exercise price of stock options and SARs granted under the 2022 Plan generally may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant.
The Company also has outstanding awards under the 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the 2012 Plan), although the plan expired in February 2022 and no additional awards have since been or will be made under the 2012 Plan. The 2012 Plan provided the Company the ability to grant stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and cash incentive awards. Awards under the 2012 Plan that subsequently expired, were forfeited or cancelled, or settled in cash after August 29, 2022 became available for awards under the 2022 Plan.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) allows eligible employees to purchase a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock each offering period at a discount through payroll deductions of up to 15 percent of their eligible compensation, subject to plan limitations. The ESPP provides for six-month offering periods with a single purchase period ending May 15 and November 15, respectively. At the end of each offering period, employees are able to purchase shares at 85 percent of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the last trading day of the offering period.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense was $4.2 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $8.5 million and $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Performance Stock
Performance stock units (PSUs) are expressed in terms of a target number of PSUs, with anywhere between 0 percent and 200 percent of that target number capable of being earned and vesting at the end of a three-year performance period depending on the Company’s performance in the final year of the performance period and the award recipient’s continued employment. Certain PSUs granted by the Company in 2021 are based on performance conditions and the related compensation cost is based on the probability that the performance conditions will be achieved. The Company’s PSUs granted in 2022, 2023, 2024 and certain PSUs granted in 2021 are based on market conditions and the related compensation cost is based on the fair value at grant date calculated using a Monte Carlo pricing model.

Note 10 – Income Taxes
The Company is subject to income tax in multiple jurisdictions and the use of estimates is required to determine the provision for income taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $5.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The income tax provision is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate for the year applied to pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 38.3 percent compared to 117.1 percent in the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate decreased by 78.8 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the prior year one-time tax impact of the foreign currency translation loss from the closure of our Japan business. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 35.0 percent compared to 68.7 percent in the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate decreased by 33.7 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the prior year one-time tax impact of the foreign currency translation loss from the closure of our Japan business.
The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0 percent due to various factors, including operating in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions partially offset by tax credits for which the Company qualifies.
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits totaling $3.6 million as of June 30, 2024 and $3.6 million as of December 31, 2023, respectively, that if recognized would result in a reduction of the Company’s effective tax rate. The liabilities are classified as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense and reports the liability in current or long-term income taxes payable as appropriate.

Note 11 – Segment Reporting
The Company’s reportable segments are based on the internal reporting used by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (CODM), to assess operating performance and make decisions about the allocation of resources. The Corporate Unallocated and Japan category includes non-reportable segments, as well as research and development and general and administrative costs, that the Company does not allocate directly to its operating segments.
Intercompany transactions primarily relate to intercontinental activity and have been eliminated and are excluded from the reported amounts. The difference between income from operations and pre-tax income relates to foreign currency-related gains and losses and interest income on cash balances and investments, which are not allocated to business segments.

Overview
We are one of the world’s largest, fastest and most comprehensive digital manufacturers of custom parts. Our vision is accelerating innovation by revolutionizing manufacturing. Our mission is to empower companies to bring new ideas to market by offering the fastest and most comprehensive digital manufacturing service in the world. We accomplish this by offering a variety of manufacturing capabilities fulfilled through a combination of owned manufacturing factories and a worldwide network of premium manufacturing partners. Our automated quoting and manufacturing systems are highly integrated with our manufacturing and fulfillment systems, which allow us to offer a vast array of manufacturing technologies in a variety of materials across a continuum of lead times and prices. Our technology-enabled digital engineering and manufacturing applications enable us to produce commercial-grade plastic, metal, and liquid silicone rubber parts in as fast as one day. We utilize injection molding, computer numerical control (CNC) machining, 3D printing and sheet metal fabrication to manufacture custom parts for our customers.
Our customers conduct nearly all of their business with us over the Internet. We target our products to the millions of product developers and engineers who use three-dimensional computer-aided design (3D CAD) software to design products across a diverse range of end-markets, to the procurement and supply chain professionals seeking to easily and efficiently source custom parts, and to a wide variety of customers seeking to purchase custom made parts. We believe our use of advanced technology enables us to offer significant advantages at competitive prices to many customers and is the primary reason we have become a leading supplier of custom parts.
We have established our operations in the United States and Europe. Our primary manufacturing product lines currently include Injection Molding, CNC Machining, 3D Printing and Sheet Metal. We continually seek to expand the range of sizes and geometric complexity of the parts we can make with these processes, to extend the variety of materials we are able to support, and to identify additional manufacturing processes to which we can apply our technology or incorporate into our manufacturing network in order to better serve the evolving preferences and needs of our customers. With the addition of the Protolabs Network in 2021, our global network of premium manufacturing partners significantly expands the breadth and depth of our manufacturing capabilities, enabling us to offer customers a wider variety of lead times and pricing options, and an expanded envelope of parts (complexity, size, etc.).
Key Financial Measures and Trends
Revenue
Our operations are comprised of two geographic operating segments in the United States and Europe. On May 27, 2022, the Company's board of directors approved a plan for the closure of our manufacturing facility in Japan and announced an intention to cease operations in the region. The Company dissolved its Japan operations in December 2023. Revenue is derived from our Injection Molding, CNC Machining, 3D Printing and Sheet Metal product lines. Injection Molding revenue consists of sales of custom injection molds and injection-molded parts. CNC Machining revenue consists of sales of CNC-machined custom parts. 3D Printing revenue consists of sales of 3D-printed parts. Sheet Metal revenue consists of

Table of Contents
sales of fabricated sheet metal custom parts. Our revenue is generated from a diverse customer base and our historical and current efforts to increase revenue have been directed at gaining new customers and selling to our existing customer base by increasing marketing and selling activities, including:
•expanding the breadth and scope of our products by adding more sizes and materials to our offerings;
•the introduction of our 3D Printing product line through our acquisition of FineLine in 2014;
•expanding 3D Printing to Europe through our acquisition of Alphaform in 2015;
•the introduction of our Sheet Metal product line through our acquisition of Rapid Manufacturing Group, LLC in 2017;
•continuously improving the usability of our product lines such as our web-centric applications; and
•providing customers with on-demand access to a global network of premium manufacturing partners through our acquisition of Hubs in 2021.
Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Cost of revenue consists primarily of raw materials, equipment depreciation, employee compensation including benefits and stock-based compensation, facilities costs and overhead allocations associated with the manufacturing process for molds and customer parts. We expect our personnel-related costs to increase in order to retain and attract top talent and remain competitive in the market. Overall, we expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars.
We define gross profit as our revenue less our cost of revenue, and we define gross margin as gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. Our gross profit and gross margin are affected by many factors, including our mix of revenue by product line, pricing, sales volume, manufacturing costs, the costs associated with increasing production capacity, the mix between domestic and foreign revenue sources, the mix between revenue produced in our internal manufacturing operations and outsourced to our external manufacturing partners, and foreign currency exchange rates.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of marketing and sales, research and development and general and administrative expenses. Personnel-related costs are the most significant component in each of these categories.
Our business strategy is to continue to be a leading online and technology-enabled manufacturer of quick-turn, on-demand injection-molded, CNC-machined, 3D-printed and sheet metal custom parts for prototyping and low-volume production. In order to achieve our goals, we anticipate continued substantial investments in technology and personnel, resulting in increased operating expenses in the future.
Marketing and sales. Marketing and sales expense consists primarily of employee compensation, benefits, commissions, stock-based compensation, marketing demand generation costs such as electronic, print and pay-per-click advertising, trade shows and other related overhead.

Closure of Japan business. Closure of Japan business expense is driven by our decision to close the Japan manufacturing facility and exit the Japan market. The expenses consist primarily of operating expense, including employee severance, write-down of fixed assets, facility-related charges and goodwill impairment charges.
Other Income, net
Other income, net primarily consists of foreign currency-related gains and losses and interest income on cash balances and investments. Our foreign currency-related gains and losses will vary depending upon movements in underlying foreign currency exchange rates. Our interest income will vary each reporting period depending on our average cash balances during the period, composition of our marketable security portfolio and the current level of interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes is comprised of federal, state, local and foreign taxes based on pre-tax income. Overall, our effective tax rate for 2024 and beyond may differ from historical effective tax rates due to increases in losses in foreign operations that are not eligible for tax benefits on account of valuation allowances, as well as any future tax law changes that may impact our effective tax rate.

We had cash and cash equivalents of $96.1 million as of June 30, 2024, an increase of $12.4 million from December 31, 2023. The increase in our cash was primarily due to cash provided by operating activities of $35.8 million and proceeds from call redemptions and maturities of marketable securities of $10.4 million, which were partially offset by $6.8 million for purchases of property, equipment and other capital assets, and $26.9 million in repurchases of common stock.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities were $35.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and primarily consisted of net income of $9.8 million, adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization of $18.1 million, stock-based compensation expense of $8.5 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities and other items totaling $3.5 million, which were partially offset by deferred taxes of $4.1 million. Cash flows from operating activities were $31.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and primarily consisted of net income of $2.3 million, adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization of $18.9 million, stock-based compensation expense of $7.4 million and a non-cash foreign currency translation loss of $3.9 million, interest on finance lease obligations of $0.6 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities and other items totaling $4.7 million, which were partially offset by deferred taxes of $5.6 million.
Cash flows from operating activities increased $3.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to increases in net income of $7.5 million, stock-based compensation of $1.2 million and deferred taxes of $1.5 million, which were partially offset by decreases in changes in operating assets and liabilities totaling $1.2 million, interest on finance lease obligations of $0.6 million and depreciation and amortization of $0.8 million.

Critical Accounting Estimates
We have adopted various accounting policies to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgements and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included Pat II, Item 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Currency Risk
As a result of our foreign operations, we have revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies. We generate revenue and incur production and sourcing costs and operating expenses in British Pounds and Euros.
Our operating results and cash flows are adversely impacted when the United States Dollar appreciates relative to foreign currencies. Additionally, our operating results and cash flows are adversely impacted when the British Pound appreciates relative to the Euro. As we expand internationally, our results of operations and cash flows will become increasingly subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
We have not used forward contracts or currency borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency risk. Foreign currency risk can be assessed by estimating the change in results of operations or financial position resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates. We believe such a change would generally not have a material impact on our financial position, but could have a material impact on our results of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a foreign currency translation loss of $3.9 million in connection with substantially completing our closure of our Japan business. We recognized foreign currency losses of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We recognized foreign currency losses of $0.3 million and foreign currency gains of $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The changes in foreign exchange rates had a minimal impact on consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and a positive impact on consolidated revenue of $0.9 million as for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
