First Quarter 2015 Results
Total revenue for the first quarter of 2015 increased by 24.9% to 23,348 kEUR compared to 18,693 kEUR for the first quarter of 2014, driven by a very strong gain in the 3D Printing Software segment and double-digit growth in the Medical and Industrial Production segments. Excluding revenue from OrthoView, which we acquired in
Revenues from the 3D Printing Software segment, which offers proprietary software worldwide through programs that enable and enhance the functionality of 3D printers and 3D printing operations, increased by 51.6% to 6,116 kEUR for the first quarter of 2015 from 4,035 kEUR for the same quarter last year. Growth was fueled by our expanded product portfolio, which now includes our build processors, accelerated growth in revenue generated with original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and a significant increase in new license sales across all regions, particularly in
Revenues from the Industrial Production segment, which primarily offers 3D printing services to industrial and commercial customers, increased 25.4% to 9,384 kEUR for the first quarter of 2015 from 7,483 kEUR for the first quarter of 2014. Growth in the quarter was driven by higher sales of end parts, which rose 41.7% in the first quarter of 2015 from the same period in the prior year. Segment EBITDA increased to a loss of 40 kEUR from a loss of 71 kEUR and the segment EBITDA margin increased to -0.4% from -0.9% for the same quarter of the prior year. Excluding the firm's growth businesses, i.materialise and RapidFit, the segment EBITDA margin for the first quarter was 10.0% as compared to 12.2% the same quarter of the prior year.
Gross profit was 13,467 kEUR for the first quarter of 2015 compared to 11,054 kEUR for the first quarter of 2014. The gross profit margin decreased to 57.7% for the first quarter of 2015 from 59.1% for the first quarter of the prior year. This decrease was largely due to a substantial increase in depreciation expense associated with the Company's purchase of 17 new printers over the past four quarters.
R&D expenses increased by 41.8% to 4,507 kEUR for the first quarter of 2015 from 3,179 kEUR for the same period in the prior year, reflecting continued investment with a number of active projects in various stages of development, including in particular in the software and medical businesses. All of the company's R&D spending was expensed and none was capitalized.
S&M and general and administrative expenses were 12,790 kEUR for the first quarter of 2015 compared to 8,396 kEUR for the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 52.3%. This 4,394 kEUR increase is partially related to the inclusion of OrthoView, and partially reflects the substantial increase in number of new employees in the sales and marketing organization of all three segments.
Other operating income increased by 838 kEUR to 1,908 kEUR in the first quarter of 2015 from 1,070 kEUR in the same period of the prior year. For the first quarter of 2015, 1,097 kEUR of the 1,908 kEUR consisted of withholding tax exemptions for qualifying researchers and partial funding of R&D projects, as compared to 861 kEUR for the first quarter of 2014.
Financial income for the first quarter of 2015 rose to 1,921 kEUR from 33 kEUR in the same period in the prior year due to a foreign exchange gain on the portion of the company's initial public offering proceeds held in U.S. dollars.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2015 was (888) kEUR, compared to a profit of 82 kEUR for the same period in the prior year. Total comprehensive income for the first quarter of 2015, which reflects exchange differences on translation of foreign operations, was 425 kEUR compared to a profit of 42 kEUR for the same period in the prior year.

2015 Guidance
As detailed in our year-end 2014 press release, in fiscal 2015 Materialise is investing heavily in a variety of R&D and S&M initiatives intended to strengthen the company's market leadership and take advantage of high-growth opportunities in the rapidly evolving 3D printing market. Management continues to expect consolidated revenue for fiscal 2015 to be between 99,000 kEUR and 101,000 kEUR and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to be between 4,000 kEUR and 5,000 kEUR.
Non-IFRS Measures
Materialise uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental financial measures of its financial performance. EBITDA is calculated as net profit plus income taxes, financial expenses (less financial income), shares of loss in a joint venture and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by adding non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and non-recurring IPO related expenses to EBITDA. Management believes these non-IFRS measures to be important measures as they exclude the effects of items which primarily reflect the impact of long-term investment and financing decisions, rather than the performance of the company's day-to-day operations. As compared to net profit, these measures are limited in that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the company's business, or the charges associated with impairments. Management evaluates such items through other financial measures such as capital expenditures and cash flow provided by operating activities. The company believes that these measurements are useful to measure a company's ability to grow or as a valuation measurement. The company's calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net profit or any other performance measure derived in accordance with IFRS. The company's presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
