NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Business Description and Basis of Presentation

Stratasys Ltd. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a global provider of applied additive technology solutions for a broad range of industries. The Company focuses on customers’ business requirements and seeks to create new value for its customers across their product lifecycle processes, from design prototypes to manufacturing tools and final production parts. The Company operates a 3D printing ecosystem of solutions and expertise, comprised of: 3D printers ranging from entry-level desktop 3D printers to systems for rapid prototyping (“RP”) and large production systems for direct digital manufacturing (“DDM”) based on precise fused deposition modeling (“FDM”) and PolyJet technologies; advanced materials for use with its 3D printers; software with voxel level control; application-based services; on-demand parts; and key partnerships.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Stratasys Ltd. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions, including profits from intercompany sales not yet realized outside the Company, have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated interim financial information herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The reader is referred to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for such year on March 7, 2019.

Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Period

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) which substantially aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to non-employees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees. That ASU also clarifies that any share-based payment issued to a customer should be evaluated based upon the new revenue recognition standard. The new ASU required a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019, which has not had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued an ASU which simplifies the designation and measurement requirements of hedge accounting in certain situations and allows companies to better align their hedge accounting with their risk management activities. The ASU also eases certain hedge effectiveness assessment requirements, expands the eligibility of hedging strategies that may qualify for hedge accounting and modifies certain presentation and disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019, which has not had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new ASU which amended its lease accounting guidance. Under the new lease accounting guidance, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases, including leases classified as operating leases. The lease liability and the right-of-use asset are measured based on the present value of the lease payments. In addition, disclosures of qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements are required. The new lease accounting guidance also contains amended guidance regarding the identification of embedded leases in service contracts and the identification of lease and non-lease components of an arrangement.

The Company adopted the new lease accounting guidance on January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition approach, with certain practical expedients, and as a result did not adjust prior periods. Following the adoption, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of $27.4 million and lease liabilities of $27.9 million for its operating leases. The Company does not have material finance leases. The new lease accounting guidance had no material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and no material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. If an arrangement is a lease, the Company determines whether it is an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company’s lease terms include all non-cancelable periods and may include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All leases with a lease term greater than twelve months result in the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability.

The right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an underlying asset for the lease term. The lease liabilities represent the present value of the Company's future lease payments over the expected lease term, which is determined using the Company's incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. This rate is determined considering factors such as the lease term, credit standing and the economic environment of the location of the lease.

The Company's leases primarily relate to buildings for the Company’s administrative, research and development, sales and marketing, and manufacturing activities, as well as vehicles leases.

As of March 31, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term for the Company’s leases was 3.9 years, and weighted-average discount rate was 5.1%.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. This ASU requires the implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred and recognized over the term of the arrangement, if those costs would be capitalized by the customers in a software licensing arrangement. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that supersedes the existing impairment model for most financial assets to a current expected credit loss model. The new guidance requires an entity to recognize an impairment allowance equal to its current estimate of all contractual cash flows the entity does not expect to collect. The ASU also requires that credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Contract assets are recorded when the Company's right to consideration is conditional on constraints other than the passage of time. The Company had no material contract assets as of March 31, 2019.

Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized, which are primarily related to advanced billings for service type warranty. Contract liabilities are presented under deferred revenues. The Company's deferred revenues as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:

March 31, December 31,
      2019       2018
U.S. $ in thousands
Deferred revenue* 71,304 72,387

*      

Includes $17.3 million and $18.4 million under long term deferred revenue in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Revenue recognized in the first quarter of 2019 that was included in deferred revenue balance as of January 1, 2019 was $17.8 million.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining Performance Obligations ("RPO") represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. As of March 31, 2019, the total RPO amounted to $92.2 million. The Company expects to recognize $74.0 million of this RPO during the next 12 months, $12.0 million over the subsequent 12 months and the remainder thereafter.

Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract

Sales commissions earned mainly by the Company’s sales agents are considered incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, as the Company expects the benefit of those commissions to be longer than one year. The majority of the sales commissions are not subject to capitalization, as the commission expense is recognized as the related revenue is recognized. Sales commissions for initial contracts related to the service type warranty are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected customer relationship period if the Company expects to recover those costs. Amortization expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2019, the deferred commission amounted to $3.3 million.

Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Changes in the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill for the three-months ended March 31, 2019 were as follows:

      U.S. $ in millions
Goodwill as of January 1, 2019 $ 385.8
Translation differences (0.2 )
Goodwill as of March 31, 2019 $                   385.6

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company performed a quantitative assessment for goodwill impairment for its Stratasys-Objet reporting unit.

Following its quantitative assessment, the Company concluded that the fair value of its Stratasys-Objet reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by approximately 8%, with a carrying amount of goodwill assigned to this reporting unit in an amount of $386 million.

When evaluating the fair value of its Stratasys-Objet reporting unit the Company used a discounted cash flow model which utilized Level 3 measures that represent unobservable inputs into the valuation method. Key assumptions used to determine the estimated fair value include: (a) expected cash flows for five years following the assessment date which were based on, among other factors, expected revenue growth, costs to produce, operating profit margins and estimated capital needs; (b) an estimated terminal value that utilized a terminal year growth rate of 3.1% that was determined based on the growth prospects of the reporting unit; and (c) a discount rate of 14.0% based on management’s best estimate of the after-tax weighted average cost of capital. If any of these were to vary materially from the Company's estimates, the Company could face impairment of goodwill allocated to this reporting unit in the future.

Actual results may differ from those assumed in the Company's valuation method. It is reasonably possible that the Company's assumptions described above could change in future periods. If any of these were to vary materially from the Company's plans, it may record impairment of goodwill allocated to this reporting unit in the future.

A hypothetical decrease in the growth rate of 1% or an increase of 1% to the discount rate would have reduced the fair value of Stratasys-Objet reporting unit by approximately $48 million and $80 million, respectively.

Based on the Company’s assessment as of December 31, 2018, no goodwill was determined to be impaired.

During the first quarter of 2019 the Company reaffirmed that no significant events or circumstances occurred that contradict the assumptions and data used in the annual impairment test performed in the fourth quarter of 2018.

STRATASYS LTD.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Determining the fair value of the Stratasys-Objet reporting unit requires significant judgment, including judgments about the appropriate discount rates, terminal growth rates, weighted average costs of capital and the amount and timing of projected future cash flows. The Company will continue to monitor the fair value of its Stratasys-Objet reporting unit to determine whether events and changes in circumstances such as a deterioration in the business climate or operating results, significant decline in the Company's share price, changes in management’s business strategy or downward changes of the Company's cash flows projections, warrant further interim impairment testing.

The computation of diluted net loss per share excluded share awards of 5.1 million shares and 3.3 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on the diluted net loss per share.

Note 7. Income Taxes

The Company had a negative effective tax rate of 48.4% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 compared to a negative effective tax rate of 9.3% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018. The Company’s effective tax rate was primarily impacted by different geographic mixes of earnings and losses, as well as a valuation allowance on losses of the Company's US subsidiaries.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A hierarchy has been established for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.

Observable inputs are inputs that are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and that reflect the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available and that are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three Levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs include inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Financial instruments measured at fair value

The following tables summarize the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis, in its consolidated balance sheets:

March 31, 2019     December 31, 2018
(U.S. $ in thousands)
Assets:
Foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments $ 445 $ 374
Foreign exchange forward contracts designated as hedging instruments 377 -
 
Liabilities:
Foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments (319 ) (196 )
Foreign exchange forward contracts designated as hedging instruments (9 ) (628 )
$                   494 $                        (450 )

The Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts are classified as level 2, as they are not actively traded and are valued using pricing models that use observable market inputs, including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies (Level 2 inputs).

Other financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, current and non-current receivables, net investment in sales-type leases, accounts payable and other financial commitments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values.

Note 9. Derivative instruments and hedging activities

The Company conducts its operations globally and may be exposed to global market risks and to the risk that its earnings, cash flows and equity could be adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As part of the Company’s risk management strategy, the Company enters into transactions involving foreign currency exchange derivative financial instruments. For its non-hedging transactions, the Company manages its foreign currency exposures on a consolidated basis, which allows the Company to net exposures and take advantage of any natural hedging. The transactions are designed to manage the Company’s net exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The Company is primarily exposed to foreign exchange risk with respect to recognized assets and liabilities and forecasted transactions denominated in the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”), the Euro and the Japanese Yen. The gains and losses on the hedging instruments partially offset losses and gains on the hedged items. Financial markets and currency volatility may limit the Company’s ability to hedge these exposures. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes.

The following table summarizes the consolidated balance sheets classification and fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments:

Fair Value Notional Amount
March 31, December 31, March 31, December 31,

(9 ) (628 ) 4,208 41,303
$        494 $               (450 ) $     125,485 $     130,423

As of March 31, 2019, the notional amounts of the Company’s outstanding exchange forward contracts, not designated as hedging instruments, were $94.6 million, and were used to reduce foreign currency exposures related to the Euro, the NIS, Japanese Yen, Korean Won and Chinese Yuan. With respect to such derivatives, gain of $1.2 million and a loss of $2.3 million were recognized under financial income, net for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Such losses or gains partially offset the foreign currencies revaluation changes of the balance sheet items. These foreign currencies revaluation changes are also recognized under financial income, net.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had in effect foreign exchange forward contracts, designated as cash flow hedge for accounting purposes, for the conversion of $30.9 million into NIS. The Company uses short-term cash flow hedge contracts to reduce its exposure to variability in expected future cash flows resulting mainly from payroll and related costs denominated in NIS. The changes in fair value of those contracts are included in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss. These contracts mature through December 2019.

Note 11. Contingencies

Patent Law-Based Claim

On November 23, 2017, a former employee, whose employment had been terminated by the Company in 2008 and who had previously unsuccessfully filed a suit against the Company, brought an additional proceeding against the Company under Section 134 of the Israeli Patent Law seeking compensation and royalties for service inventions he invented while he served as an employee of the Company. In this new proceeding, the former employee claims to be entitled to receive royalties in an amount equal to: (a) 20% of the benefits, revenues and /or savings generated by the Company in the past and in the future, including the rise in the value of the Company, as determined in the merger with Stratasys Inc., which took place in December 2012; (b) 20% of the gross profit generated by the Company in the past and 9% of the gross profit produced and that will be produced by the Company; (c) 20% of the gross profit generated by the Company in the past and the relative share of the former Objet entity of the Company in the total gross profit produced and that will be produced by the Company; or (d) 20% of the value of the service inventions at issue. The former employee further sought an order of accounts. The Company rejects the claims that serve as a basis for the proceeding and is defending against them vigorously.

The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings, the outcome of which, in the opinion of management, will not have a significant adverse effect on the financial position or profitability of the Company.
