PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including those relating to the Merger. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report may include, for example, statements about:
our projected financial information, growth rate and market opportunity;
the ability to maintain the listing of our common stock and the public warrants on the NYSE, and the potential liquidity and trading of such securities;
the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Merger, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees;
costs related to the Merger;
changes in applicable laws or regulations;
the inability to develop and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting;
our ability to raise financing in the future;
our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors;
the period over which we anticipate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements;
the potential for our business development efforts to maximize the potential value of our portfolio;
regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries;
the impact of laws and regulations;
our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional financing;
our financial performance;
the effect of COVID-19 on the foregoing; and
other factors detailed under the section entitled “Risk Factors”.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
3


statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the section entitled “Risk Factors”. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Some of these risks and uncertainties may in the future be amplified by the COVID-19 outbreak and there may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or which are unknown. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Velo3D, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Velo3D” ), formerly known as JAWS Spitfire Acquisition Corporation (“JAWS Spitfire”), produces metal additive three dimensional printers (“3D Printers”) which enable the production of components for space rockets, jet engines, fuel delivery systems and other high value metal parts, which it sells or leases to customers for use in their businesses. The Company also provides support services (“Support Services”) for an incremental fee. Velo3D’s subsidiary, Velo3D US, Inc., formerly known as Velo3D, Inc. (“Legacy Velo3D”), was founded in June 2014 as a Delaware corporation headquartered in Campbell, California. The first commercially developed 3D Printer was delivered in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Unless otherwise stated herein or unless the context otherwise requires, references in these notes to the “Company” refer to (i) Legacy Velo3D prior to the consummation of the Merger (as defined below); and (ii) Velo3D and its consolidated subsidiary following the consummation of the Merger.
On September 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date” or the “Reverse Recapitalization Date”), JAWS Spitfire completed the previously announced merger with Legacy Velo3D, with Legacy Velo3D surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAWS Spitfire (the “Merger” or the “Reverse Recapitalization”). In connection with the Merger, JAWS Spitfire was renamed “Velo3D, Inc.”, and Legacy Velo3D was renamed “Velo3D US, Inc.”
Please refer to Note 3, Reverse Recapitalization, for further details of the Merger.
Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in the unaudited condensed financial statements of Velo3D represents the accounts of Legacy Velo3D. The shares and Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted, prior to the Merger, have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”) established in the Merger (0.8149 shares of Velo3D common stock for 1 share of Legacy Velo3D common stock, par value $0.00001 (the “Common Stock”). All fractional shares were rounded.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the related notes included in our prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the SEC on October 28, 2021, which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company. These condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as its annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, or for any other interim period or for any other future year.
Financial Condition and Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. On September 29, 2021, the Company consummated the Merger, which resulted in the Company receiving approximately $278.3 million in total net proceeds, including $155.0 million from the PIPE Financing (as defined in Note 3,

Reverse Recapitalization). Since inception, the Company has not achieved profitable operations or generated positive cash flows from operations. The Company’s operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown and there can be no assurance that the current operating plan will be achieved in the time frame anticipated by the Company, and it may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned. If adequate funds are not available to the Company on a timely basis, it may be required to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate certain commercial efforts, or pursue merger or acquisition strategies, all of which could adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s stockholders. The Company has incurred net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in every year since inception and expects this to continue for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $215.4 million.
As of November 16, 2021, the issuance date of the accompanying financial statements, the Company believes that the cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash the Company obtained from the Merger and the PIPE Financing, together with cash the Company expects to generate from future operations, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Other than policies noted below, there have been no significant changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the audited condensed financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited accompanying financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results and outcomes could differ significantly from the Company’s estimates, judgments, and assumptions. Significant estimates include determining useful lives of long-lived assets, the determination of the incremental borrowing rate used for operating lease liabilities, standalone selling price for performance obligations in contracts with customers, the valuation of redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants and common stock warrants, the fair value of common stock and other assumptions used to measure stock-based compensation, the fair value of contingent earnout liabilities, inventory reserves, and the valuation of deferred income tax assets and uncertain tax positions.
These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Changes in these estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could materially differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable, net. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in domestic cash accounts with large, creditworthy financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents through deposits with federally insured commercial banks and at times cash balances may be in excess of federal insurance limits.

The Company relies on four key suppliers for products and services. While alternative providers could be identified, the Company is subject to supply and pricing risks.
Impact of COVID-19
The Company continues to operate its business through the COVID-19 pandemic and has taken additional precautions to ensure the safety of its employees, customers, and vendors with which it operates. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operating results has added uncertainty in timing of customer orders creating longer lead times for sales and marketing.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company has applied the framework for measuring fair value which requires a fair value hierarchy to be applied to all fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices observed in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 — Significant unobservable market inputs for the asset or liability.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, warrants for redeemable convertible preferred stock, common stock warrants and contingent earnout liabilities were the only liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The long-term debt (including convertible notes) with variable interest at market rates is carried at amortized cost, which approximates its fair value and was classified as Level 2. Please refer to Note 14, Long-Term Debt and Note 15, Convertible Notes Payable, for further information. Warrants for redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible notes payable were classified as Level 3.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, are classified as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may be invested in money market funds and are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value.
In June 2021, in conjunction with the new 80,000+ square foot facility to begin production of the Company’s Sapphire XC in late 2021, the Company issued a one-year letter of credit for $1.2 million to the landlord to secure the agreement. The Company has restricted cash to secure the letter of credit and the agreement will allow for reductions to the letter of credit limit based on the Company’s revenue achievements.
In September 2021, in connection with a 3D Printer system delivery, a customer requested a bank guarantee to be issued for $1.3 million as a condition of delivery acceptance to protect the customers prepayment of $1.3 million (included in Contract Liabilities). The bank guarantee expires upon the return of the bank guarantee document to the issuance bank or on October 10, 2021. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the restricted cash in other assets was returned to operating cash and cash equivalents.

Information by Segment and Geography
The Company manages its operations and allocates resources as a single operating segment. Further, the Company manages, monitors, and reports its financial results as a single reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on an entity-wide basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources. The Company has no segment managers who are held accountable by the CODM for operations, operating results, and planning for levels of components below the entity- wide level.
The Company currently sells its products in the United States and other locations. No long-lived assets are located outside the U.S. Revenue by geographic area based on the billing address of the customers were as follows:

Contracts Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables and are recorded when revenue is recognized in advance of scheduled billings to the Company’s customers. A contract asset is recognized when products or services are transferred to a customer and the right to consideration is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract liabilities include amounts billed or collected which is related to remaining performance obligations. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied. It includes unearned revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods
The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2021 included in contract liabilities as of June 30, 2021 was $0.3 million. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2020 that was included in contract liabilities as of June 30, 2020 was $0.2 million.
The amount of revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020 was $0.8 million. The amount of revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 that was included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2019 was $0.7 million.
Common Stock Warrants Liabilities
The Company assumed 8,625,000 publicly-traded warrants (the “Public Warrants”) and 4,450,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Common Stock Warrants”) issued to Spitfire Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) upon the Merger, all of which were issued in connection with JAWS Spitfire’s initial public offering (“IPO”) and subsequent over-allotment and entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were no Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants exercised. The Public Warrants are publicly traded and are exercisable for cash, unless certain conditions occur, such as redemption by the Company under certain circumstances, at which time the Public Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable for cash so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants are redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
The Company evaluated the Common Stock Warrants and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified within stockholders’ equity. The warrant agreement governing the Common Stock Warrants includes a provision, the application of which could result in a different settlement value for the Common Stock Warrants depending on their holder. Because the holder of an instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on the Common Stock, the Private Placement Warrants are not considered to be “indexed to the Company’s own stock.” In addition, the warrant agreement includes a provision that provides that in the event of a tender or exchange offer accepted by holders of more than 50.0% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, all holders of the Common Stock Warrants (both the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants) would be entitled to receive cash for all of their Common Stock Warrants. Specifically, in the event of a qualifying cash tender offer (which could be outside of the Company’s control), all Common Stock Warrant holders would be entitled to cash,
16


Velo3D, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
while only certain of the holders of the Common Stock may be entitled to cash. These provisions preclude the Company from classifying the Common Stock Warrants in stockholders’ equity.
The Company classifies its Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging–Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. As the Common Stock Warrants meet the definition of a derivative, the Company recorded these warrants within Warrant liabilities on the condensed balance sheet at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss at each reporting date.
Contingent Earnout Liability
In connection with the Reverse Recapitalization and pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, eligible former Legacy Velo3D equity holders are entitled to receive additional shares of Common Stock upon the Company achieving certain Earnout Triggering Events (as described in the Business Combination Agreement) (the “Earnout Shares”). The Earnout Shares are not indexed to the Common Stock and therefore are accounted for as a liability at the Reverse Recapitalization Date and subsequently remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded as a component of gain on fair value of contingent earnout liabilities in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The estimated fair value of the contingent earnout liability was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation using a distribution of potential outcomes on a monthly basis over the Earnout Period (as defined in Note 16) prioritizing the most reliable information available. The assumptions utilized in the calculation are based on the achievement of certain stock price milestones, including the current Company Common Stock price, expected volatility, risk free rate, expected term and dividend rate. The contingent earnout liability is categorized as a Level 3 fair value measurement (see “Fair Value Measurements” as described above) because the Company estimates projections during the Earnout Period utilizing unobservable inputs. Contingent earnout liabilities involve certain assumptions requiring significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“Topic 740”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating some exceptions to the general approach in Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes. It also clarifies certain aspects of the existing guidance to promote more consistent application. This standard is effective for the Company in fiscal year 2021, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2020 and there is no material impact on its condensed financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“Topic 848”),” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning on March 12, 2020 and the amendments will be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2021 and there is no material impact on its condensed financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). This ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP.
Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more redeemable convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years

beginning after December 15, 2023 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company early adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective method. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“Topic 326”)”, and has since released various amendments including ASU No. 2019-04. The guidance modifies the measurement of expected credit losses on certain financial instruments. This guidance is effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on its financial statements and disclosures.
In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, “Leases (“Topic 842”) Lessors — Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments”, that amends the lessor’s lease classification for leases that include any amount of variable lease payments that are not variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate as an operating lease at lease commencement if classifying the lease as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease would result in the recognition of a selling loss. This guidance is effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on its financial statements and disclosures.
3. Reverse Recapitalization
On September 29, 2021, Merger Sub merged with Legacy Velo3D, with Legacy Velo3D surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Velo3D. Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger:
• all issued and outstanding 6,738,651 shares of Legacy Velo3D outstanding Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock was converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Velo3D common stock on a 1:2.178 basis:
• all issued and outstanding 8,386,456 shares of Legacy Velo3D outstanding Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock was converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Velo3D common stock on a 1:2.273 basis:
• all issued and outstanding 8,513,343 shares of Legacy Velo3D outstanding Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock was converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Velo3D common stock on a 1:2.372 basis:
• all issued and outstanding 101,042,757 shares of Legacy Velo3D outstanding Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock was converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Velo3D common stock on a 1:1.000 basis:
In connection with the Merger, shares of Legacy Velo3D redeemable convertible preferred stock were converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Velo3D common stock at their respective conversion ratios and concurrently recast into 126,310,700 shares of Common Stock.
As of September 30, 2021 and after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio, there were 183,163,826 shares of Common Stock outstanding, comprised of the 126,310,700 shares of Common Stock issued in respect of the Legacy Velo3D redeemable convertible preferred stock, 16,443,994 shares of Common Stock issued in respect of Legacy

Velo3D common stock, and 40,409,132 shares of Common Stock issued to public shareholders of JAWS Spitfire, the JAWS Spitfire initial shareholders, and third-party PIPE Investors (as defined below).
At the Merger, eligible former Legacy Velo3D equity holders received or had the right to receive shares of Common Stock at a deemed value of $10.00 per share after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio of 0.8149 as defined in the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, immediately following the consummation of the Merger, Legacy Velo3D common stock exchanged into 142,754,694 shares of Common Stock, 66,830,878 shares of Common Stock were reserved for the issuance of Common Stock upon the potential future exercise of Legacy Velo3D stock options, common stock warrants, and shares of Common Stock issuable under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, JAWS Spitfire entered into separate subscription agreements (each a “Subscription Agreement”) with a number of investors (each a “PIPE Investor”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, and JAWS Spitfire agreed to sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 15,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $155.0 million, in a private placement pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (the “PIPE Financing”). The PIPE Financing closed simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger.
In connection with the Merger, 8,625,000 of JAWS Spitfire Class B ordinary shares originally purchased by the Sponsor were exchanged for shares of Common Stock prior to the Closing (the “Founder Shares”).
Pursuant to JAWS Spitfire’s Articles of Association, JAWS Spitfire’s public shareholders were entitled to elect to redeem their public shares for cash even if they had approved the Merger. As of September 24, 2021, the final day of the redemption period, public shareholders had redeemed 18,215,868 Class A ordinary shares of JAWS Spitfire for cash at the redemption price of $10.00 per share, based on funds held in the trust account for an aggregate payment of $182.2 million (the “Redemptions”).
The number of shares of Common Stock issued immediately following the consummation of the Merger was:

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, JAWS Spitfire was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of Velo3D are represented as a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy Velo3D, with the Merger being treated as the equivalent of Legacy Velo3D issuing stock for the net assets of JAWS Spitfire, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of JAWS Spitfire are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Merger are those of Legacy Velo3D in future reports.
Legacy Velo3D has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances as of the Closing: (1) Legacy Velo3D’s stockholders have a majority of the voting power of
19

Velo3D; (2) the board of directors of Velo3D initially has twelve members, and Legacy Velo3D has the ability to nominate the majority of the initial members of the board of directors; (3) Legacy Velo3D’s senior management is the senior management of Velo3D and is responsible for day-to-day operations; (4) Velo3D has assumed the Velo3D name; and; (5) the current strategy and operations of Velo3D continue to be Legacy Velo3D’s strategy and operations to develop the next generation of AM printers.
In connection with the Merger and the PIPE Financing, the Company received $298.2 million of gross proceeds including the contribution of $345.0 million of cash held in JAWS Spitfire’s trust account from its IPO, redemptions of JAWS Spitfire public shareholders of $182.2 million, and $155.0 million of cash in connection with the PIPE Financing. The gross proceeds were net of $19.6 million of costs incurred by JAWS Spitfire prior to the Closing. The Company incurred $19.9 million of transaction costs, consisting of banking, legal, and other professional fees, of which $19.1 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital of proceeds (“APIC”), and the remaining $0.8 million was expensed in the condensed statements of operations. The total net cash proceeds to the Company were $278.3 million.

The fair value of the private placement warrant liability, redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability and contingent earnout liability are based on significant unobservable inputs, which represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. In determining the fair value of the private placement warrant liability, the Company used the Binomial-Lattice Model that assumes optimal exercise of the Company’s redemption option at the earliest possible date. In determining the fair value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value using unobservable inputs including the expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield (please refer to Note 16, Equity Instruments). In determining the fair value of the contingent earnout liability, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model using a distribution of potential outcomes on a monthly basis over the Earnout Period using the most reliable information available (please refer to Note 16, Equity Instruments).

Conversion of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock at a conversion ratio of 3:1 and Issuance of Series D Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
In March and early April 2020, the Company notified the existing holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock of (i) a planned initial closing of Legacy Velo3D Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock and (ii) the amount assigned to each of them based on their pro rata holdings in the Company’s outstanding equity on a fully diluted basis. In addition, these existing holders were notified that, as a condition of the Legacy Velo3D Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock financing, the Company would amend its articles to implement a special mandatory conversion provision if the holders failed to invest their pro rata amount in such initial financing of Legacy Velo3D Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock.
On April 13, 2020, in connection with the Company’s issuance of Legacy Velo3D Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock, the Company amended its articles to implement the special mandatory conversion provision and, contemporaneously, certain existing holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock who failed to invest their full pro rata amount or did not participate in the financing were automatically converted into the Company’s common stock at a conversion ratio of three to one. The amendment and forced conversion were recognized as an extinguishment of the redeemable convertible preferred stock.
As a result, 2,167,198 shares of Legacy Velo3D Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock, 1,999,348 shares of Legacy Velo3D Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock and 289,702 shares of Legacy Velo3D Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock were converted into 1,210,513 shares of Legacy Velo3D common stock. The carrying value of the converted shares of the redeemable convertible preferred stock is $13.3 million, whereas the fair value of the shares of common stock issued in the conversion was $0.2 million. Because the fair value of the consideration transferred (i.e., the fair value of the shares of common stock issued) was less than the carrying amount of the shares of the redeemable convertible preferred stock surrendered, the Company recognized an extinguishment of the redeemable convertible preferred stock converted in the amount of $13.1 million. The $13.1 million was a deemed capital contribution to the holders of the Company’s common stock that was a decrease to the net loss attributable to common stockholders and a decrease to accumulated deficit. Accordingly, the Company recorded a decrease of $13.3 million to redeemable convertible preferred stock, and a corresponding increase of $0.2 million in additional paid-in capital and a decrease of $13.1 million in accumulated deficit.
In addition, on April 13, 2020, the Company issued 44,794,885 shares of Legacy Velo3D Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock at $0.37534 per share for gross proceeds of $16.8 million.

the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were as follows: volatility of 35.0% to 45.0%, term of 0.2 years, and risk-free interest rate of 0.1% to 1.0%.
Warrants for common stock of 13,075,000 and 214,033 were exercisable 1-to-1 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Warrants to purchase a total of 13,075,000 shares of common stock were initially recognized as a liability recorded at fair value upon issuance and were subject to remeasurement to fair value at each balance sheet date. As part of the Merger, all Legacy Velo3D common stock warrants were exercised for shares of common stock in accordance with their terms for the number of exercisable shares, each adjusted using the Exchange Ratio. At that time, the Legacy Velo3D common stock warrants were remeasured and reclassified to Legacy Velo3D additional paid-in capital.
Private placement warrants and public warrants on common stock (as defined below) are liability classified and recorded at fair value on the issue date with periodic remeasurement.
Private Placement Warrants
Concurrently with JAWS Spitfire’s IPO, 4,450,000 Private Placement Warrants were issued to the Sponsor at $2.00 per unit. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Subject to certain exceptions, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. As of September 30, 2021, the number of Private Placement Warrants issued was 4,450,000.
Public Warrants
In conjunction with the JAWS Spitfire IPO, 34,500,000 units were issued to public investors at $10.00 per unit. Each unit consisted of one JAWS Spitfire Class A ordinary share and one-fourth of one warrant. Each Public Warrant is exercisable to purchase share of Common Stock at $11.50 per share. As of September 30, 2021, the number of Public Warrants issued was 8,625,000.
Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of the Merger and (b) 12 months from the closing of the IPO on December 7, 2020. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Merger or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Warrant Liabilities - Common Stock
The liability associated with the Private Placement Warrants was subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date using the Level 3 fair value inputs and the Public Warrants was subject to remeasured at each balance sheet date using Level 1 fair value inputs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, all warrants for redeemable preferred stock were converted prior to the Merger into 13,362 shares of Legacy Velo3D Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock and 160,000 shares of Legacy Velo3D Series C redeemable preferred stock. The shares of redeemable preferred stock were net settled and converted into Legacy Velo3D common stock for Series A on a 1:2.178 basis and Series C of 1:2.372 basis.
As of December 31, 2020, warrants for redeemable convertible preferred stock was 173,362. After the conversion to common stock and Exchange Ratio, the impact of dilution triggered by the warrants for redeemable convertible preferred stock if converted into common stock was 243,195 shares of common stock.
Warrants on redeemable convertible preferred stock were issued to lenders in connection with borrowings. The fair value on the date of issue is recorded as a debt issue cost (contra-liability) and a liability because the warrant was liability classified. The fair value of the warrants are remeasured each reporting period using Level 3 inputs with the increase or decrease recorded in other income (expense), net in the statements of operations.
The liability for warrants on redeemable convertible preferred stock (carried at fair value) was as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Contingent Earnout Liabilities
The contingent earnout liability is for Earnout Shares for pre-closing Legacy Velo3D equity holders (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement as holders of Legacy Velo3D shares, Legacy Velo3D warrants, Legacy Velo3D convertible notes and Legacy Velo3D options immediately prior to the closing date) (“Eligible Legacy Velo3D Equityholders”). The Eligible Legacy Velo3D Equityholders will be entitled to Earnout Shares, pursuant to which they will receive (i) 5.0% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Closing if the shares of Common Stock trade at or above $12.50 for 20 or more trading days in any 30 trading-day period, and (ii) an additional 5.0% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Closing if the shares of Common Stock trade at or above $15.00 for 20 or more trading days in any 30 trading-day period (the “Triggering Events”). The earnout is subject to a five-year earnout period and early trigger upon certain change of control events.
During the time period between Closing and the five-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Eligible Legacy Velo3D Equityholders may receive up to 21,758,148 shares of additional Common Stock, which is based on two tranches or 10,879,074 per tranche as noted above.
The estimated fair value of the contingent earnout liabilities at the Closing Date was $120.8 million based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model using a distribution of potential outcomes on a monthly basis over the Earnout Period using the most reliable information available. The change in fair value of contingent earnout liabilities was a gain of $2.0 million recognized in the condensed statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021 the contingent earnout liabilities were $118.7 million.

17. Stock Option Plan and Stock-Based Compensation
Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company adopted its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 EIP”) which provides for the granting of stock options, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has reserved 42,766,048 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 2021 EIP.
In addition, the Company adopted its 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2021 ESPP”). As of September 30, 2021, the Company has reserved 10,989,830 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 2021 ESPP.
Awards granted under both the 2021 EIP and the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) generally expire 10 years from the date of grant, or earlier if services are terminated. The exercise price of stock options grants shall not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant, respectively, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. Awards generally vest based on continuous service over four years. Awards forfeited, cancelled, or repurchased generally are returned to the pool of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan and 2014 Plan, respectively.

Stock-based Compensation Associated with Awards
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company used the Backsolve, or Option Pricing Method (the “OPM”), which is the preferred method when recent securities transactions are considered a relevant input in determining the valuation of a company because it takes into account the economic rights of the recently issued security in relation to the rights of other equity securities within the capital structure.
The weighted-average assumptions in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model used to determine the fair value of stock options granted were as follows:

As of September 30, 2021, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock awards was $3.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.52 years.
18. Income Taxes
The income tax provision is calculated for an interim period by distinguishing between elements recognized in the income tax provision through applying an estimated annual effective tax rate (the “ETR”) to a measure of year-to-date operating results referred to as “ordinary income (or loss),” and discretely recognizing specific events referred to as “discrete items” as they occur. The income tax provision or benefit for each interim period is the difference between the year-to-date amount for the current period and the year-to date amount for the period prior. Under ASC 740-270-30-36, entities subject to income taxes in multiple jurisdictions should apply one overall ERT instead of separate ETRs for each jurisdiction when calculating the interim-period income tax or benefit related to ordinary income (or loss) for the year-to-date interim period, except in certain circumstances. The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% principally as a result of valuation allowances expected to be applied to net operating loss carry-forwards which will not meet the threshold for recognition as deferred tax assets.

19. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company may be involved in various lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, including intellectual property, commercial, securities, and employment matters that arise in the normal course of business. The Company accrues a liability when management believes information available prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates it is probable a loss has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company adjusts its accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company is not aware of any litigation, claim or assessment in which the outcome, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on its financial positions, results of operations, cash flows or future earnings.
The Company’s purchase obligations per terms and conditions with suppliers and vendors are cancellable in whole or in part prior to shipment. If inventory is shipped, the Company will accrue a liability under accrued expenses. The Company has no other commitment and contingencies, except for the operating leases. Please refer to Note 13, Leases, for further discussion.
Certain Sapphire XC purchase obligations (purchase orders) of $26.8 million for parts and assemblies are non-cancellable and are due upon receipts with standard payment terms and will primarily be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.
20. Employee Defined-Contribution Plans
Accrued salaries and benefits included accruals related to the 401(k) plans the Company offers to its employees. In order to qualify for these plans, employees must meet the minimum age requirement (21 years) and begin participating on their entry date which is the first paycheck date in the month following the month of eligibility described above. Employee and employer contributions are immediately 100.00% fully vested. The plans offer employer contributions of 3.0% of an employee’s eligible compensation following safe-harbor rules. The Company’s contribution to the 401(k) plan was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The Company has a defined-contribution plan intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401(k) Plan”). The Company contracted with a third-party provider to act as a custodian and trustee, and to process and maintain the records of participant data. Substantially all of the expenses incurred for administering the 401(k) Plan are paid by the Company. The Company has paid all matching contributions as of December 31, 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides information which our management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with (i) Legacy Velo3D’s historical audited annual financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related notes included in our prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 28, 2021, related to the Merger and (ii) our unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon our current expectations, estimates and projections, and involves numerous risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements due to, among other considerations, the matters discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
We seek to fulfill the promise of additive manufacturing, also referred to as 3D printing (“AM”), to deliver breakthroughs in performance, cost and lead time in the production of high-value metal parts.
We produce a full-stack hardware and software solution based on our proprietary powder bed fusion (“PBF”) technology, which enables support-free production. Our technology enables the production of highly complex, mission-critical parts that existing AM solutions cannot produce without the need for redesign or additional assembly. Our products give our customers who are in space, aviation, defense, energy, and industrial markets the freedom to design and produce metal parts with complex internal features and geometries that had previously been considered impossible for AM. We believe our technology is years ahead of competitors.
Our technology is novel compared to other AM technologies based on its ability to deliver high-value metal parts that have complex internal channels, structures and geometries. This affords a wide breadth of design freedom for creating new metal parts and it enables replication of existing parts without the need to redesign the part to be manufacturable with AM. Because of these features, we believe our technology and product capabilities are highly valued by our customers. Our customers are primarily original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and contract manufacturers who look to AM to solve issues with traditional metal parts manufacturing technologies. Those traditional manufacturing technologies rely on processes, including casting, stamping and forging, that typically require high volumes to drive competitive costs and have long lead times for production. Our customers look to AM solutions to produce assemblies that are lighter, stronger and more reliable than those manufactured with traditional technologies. Our customers also expect AM solutions to drive lower costs for low-volume parts and substantially shorter lead times. However, many of our customers have found that legacy AM technologies failed to produce the required designs for the high-value metal parts and assemblies that our customers wanted to produce with AM. As a result, other AM solutions often require that parts be redesigned so that they can be produced and frequently incur performance losses for high-value applications. For these reasons, AM solutions of our competitors have been largely relegated to tooling and prototyping or the production of less complex, lower-value metal parts.
In contrast, our technology can deliver complex high-value metal parts with the design advantages, lower costs and faster lead times associated with AM, and generally avoids the need to redesign the parts. As a result, our customers have increasingly adopted our technology into their design and production processes. We believe our value is reflected in our sales patterns, as most customers purchase a single machine to validate our technology and purchase additional systems over time as they embed our technology in their product roadmap and manufacturing infrastructure. We consider this approach a “land and expand” strategy, oriented around a demonstration of our value proposition followed by increasing penetration with key customers.
Recent Developments
Closing of Merger
On September 29, 2021, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. In particular, on the Closing Date, JAWS Spitfire filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman
38


Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which JAWS Spitfire was domesticated and continued as a Delaware corporation. Further, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub was merged with and into Legacy Velo3D, with Legacy Velo3D surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAWS Spitfire. Legacy Velo3D was renamed “Velo3D US, Inc.” and JAWS Spitfire was renamed “Velo3D, Inc. In addition, the PIPE Investors, purchased an aggregate of 15,500,000 shares of common stock concurrently with the Closing for an aggregate purchase price of $155,000,000.
In connection with the Merger and the PIPE Financing, the Company received $298.2 million of gross proceeds including the contribution of $345.0 million of cash held in JAWS Spitfire’s trust account from its IPO, redemptions of JAWS Spitfire public shareholders of $182.2 million, and $155.0 million of cash in connection with the PIPE Financing. The gross proceeds were net of $19.6 million of costs incurred by JAWS Spitfire prior to the Closing. The Company incurred $19.9 million of transaction costs, consisting of banking, legal, and other professional fees, of which $19.1 million was recorded as a reduction to APIC, and the remaining $0.8 million was expensed in the condensed statements of operations. The total net cash proceeds to the Company were $278.3 million.
Pursuant to JAWS Spitfire’s Articles of Association, JAWS Spitfire’s public shareholders were entitled to elect to redeem their public shares for cash even if they had approved the Merger. As of September 24, 2021, the final day of the redemption period, public shareholders had redeemed 18,215,868 Class A ordinary shares of JAWS Spitfire for cash at the redemption price of $10.00 per share, based on funds held in the trust account for an aggregate payment of $182.2 million (the “Redemptions”).
The number of shares of common stock issued immediately following the consummation of the Merger was:

On the Closing Date, all existing redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock of Legacy Velo3D was recapitalized into 142,754,694 shares of common stock of Velo3D. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, each stockholder of Legacy Velo3D, after applying the Exchange Ratio, received shares of Velo3D common stock and the contingent right to receive up to 21,758,148 shares of Velo3D common stock (the “Earnout Shares”), for each share of Legacy Velo3D common stock, owned by such Legacy Velo3D stockholder that was outstanding immediately prior to the Closing.
The Legacy Velo3D equity holders will be entitled to the earnout, pursuant to which they will receive (i) 10,879,074 shares of common stock if the shares of common stock trade at or above $12.50 for 20 or more trading days in any 30 trading-day period, and (ii) an additional 10,879,074 shares of common stock if the shares of
39


common stock trade at or above $15.00 for 20 or more trading days in any 30 trading-day period. The earnout is subject to a five-year earnout period and early trigger upon certain change of control events.
The number of shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock presented in the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for periods prior to the Reverse Recapitalization have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the conversion ratio similar to the presentation of a stock-split.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
We believe that our performance and future success depend on many factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section of this Quarterly Report titled “Risk Factors.”
Shipments
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we shipped 15 3D Printers (seven 3D Printers sold to customers and eight 3D Printers leased under the Recurring Payment model described below). For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we shipped nine 3D Printers (seven 3D Printers sold to customers and two 3D Printers leased under the Recurring Payment model).
Commercial Launch of the Sapphire XCTM System
Our Sapphire XCTM system (“Sapphire XC”) is in the late stages of development and scheduled to begin commercial shipments at the end of fiscal year 2021. We expect the new Sapphire XC to have capacity to make parts that are 400% larger and reduce production costs per part by approximately 65% to 80% when compared to the existing Sapphire system. Prior to commercialization, we must complete final testing and manufacturing ramp-up at our in-house assembly location in Campbell, CA, and complete our assembly facilities expansion.
The XC system will be manufactured in a new 80,000+ square foot facility. On November 1, 2021, our lease for this facility commenced with a term of 65 months and a contractual obligation of $10.9 million in base rent and certain reimbursement of lessor’s operating expenses. As of September 30, 2021, we have invested $3.0 million into lab equipment and leasehold improvements. We will invest an additional $4.0 million to $7.0 million in factory equipment and leasehold improvements to begin production of our Sapphire XC systems. Any delays in successful completion of these steps may impact our ability to generate revenue from these products.
As of September 30, 2021, the manufacturing facility lease obligations was not recorded on the balance sheet, and only included under operating leases as a future contractual obligation. We are currently constructing and outfitting the building. As set forth under ASC 842, Leases, the delivery of the building has not been completed as of September 30, 2021, as the landlord was still completing improvements to the facility as per the terms of the agreement.
As of September 30, 2021, we have received customer deposits for 14 firm orders and a further 21 reservations with deposits for manufacturing slots for the Sapphire XC system. These deposits were $12.6 million and $3.2 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are included within contract liabilities. As we bring our products to market, we pay particular attention to forecasts by industry analysts and the adoption curve of new technologies. If we fail to anticipate or respond to market adoption of AM, it could result in decreased revenue.
Adoption of Additive Manufacturing with New and Existing Customers
We work closely with our customers to understand their product roadmaps and strategies. Our customers continuously develop new complex metal parts and explore solutions where production is either outsourced to contract manufacturers or performed in-house. The selection process for AM solutions is lengthy, typically 12 to 24 months, and may require us to incur costs in pursuing opportunities with no assurance that our solutions will be selected, which are included in selling and marketing expenses and research and development expenses. As a result,

the loss of any key customers to adopt our solutions or any significant delay in commercialization of our products could impact our business and future revenue.
Customer Concentration
Our operating results for the foreseeable future will continue to depend on sales to a small group of customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, sales to our top three customers accounted for more than 86.2% of revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, sales to the same three customers accounted for 48.0% of our revenue. While our objective is to diversify our customer base, we believe that we could continue to be susceptible to risks associated with customer concentration. See “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business - Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital - We expect to rely on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our near-term revenue”, and see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties in the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Continued Investment and Innovation
Since our founding, we have been a customer-focused company working to develop innovative solutions to address customers’ needs. We believe this process has contributed significantly to our development of the most advanced metal AM systems in the world. We focus on our customers to identify the most impactful areas for research and development as we seek to further improve the capabilities of our AM solutions. We believe that continued investments in our products are important to our future growth and, as a result, we expect our research and development expenses to continue to increase, which may adversely affect our near-term profitability.
On July 1, 2021, our lease commenced for a 5,000+ square foot R&D facility. The lease has a term of 36 months and with a contractual obligation of $0.5 million in base rent and certain reimbursement of lessor’s operating expenses.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Our revenue is primarily derived from our AM full-stack solution product, which includes the Flow™ print preparation software, Sapphire® metal AM printer using our support-free PBF technology and Assure™ quality validation software (collectively referred to as the “3D Printer”). Contracts for 3D Printers also include post-sale customer support services (“Support Services”), except for our distributor partners, which are qualified to perform support services.
We sell our AM full-stack solution product through two types of transaction models: a 3D Printer sale transaction and a recurring payment transaction (“Recurring Payment”). We define our Recurring Payment transactions as operating leases. 3D Printer sale transactions are structured as a payment of a fixed purchase price for the system. The timeframe from order to completion of the site acceptance test occurs normally over three to six months. As we scale our production, we expect to reduce this timeframe. Contract consideration allocated to the 3D Printer is recognized at a point in time, which occurs upon transfer of control to the customer at shipment.
The initial sales of 3D Printers and Support Services are included in one contract and are invoiced together. Contract consideration is allocated between the two performance obligations based on relative fair value. This allocation involves judgement and is periodically updated as new relevant information becomes available.
The Recurring Payment transactions, which are structured as operating leases, were a small percentage of revenue during 2021 and 2020. Under this model, the customer typically pays a base rent and variable payments based on usage in excess of a defined threshold. Most of our leases have a 12-month term, though in certain cases the lease term is longer.

Support Services are included with most 3D Printer sale transactions and Recurring Payment transactions. Support services consist of field service engineering, phone and email support, preventative maintenance, and limited on and off-site consulting support. A subsequent Support Service contract is available for renewal after the initial contract period based on the then-fair value of the service, which is paid for separately. Support Service revenue is recognized over the contract period beginning with customer performance test acceptance.
Other revenue included under 3D Printer sales includes parts and consumables, such as filters, powder or build plates, that are sold to customers and recognized when the customer takes title to the product. Other revenue was not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue includes the “Cost of 3D Printers,” “Cost of Recurring Payment” and “Cost of Support Services.”
Cost of 3D Printers includes the manufacturing cost of our components and subassemblies purchased from vendors for the assembly, as well as raw materials and assemblies, shipping costs and other directly associated costs. Cost of 3D Printers also includes allocated overhead costs from headcount-related costs, such as salaries, stock-based compensation, depreciation of manufacturing related equipment and facilities, and information technology costs.
Cost of Recurring Payment includes depreciation of the leased equipment over the useful life of five years less the residual value, and an allocated portion of Cost of Support Services.
Cost of Support Services includes the cost of spare or replacement parts for preventive maintenance, installation costs, headcount-related costs such as salaries, stock-based compensation, depreciation of manufacturing related equipment and facilities, and information technology costs. The headcount-related costs are directly associated with the engineers dedicated to remote and on-site support, training, travel costs and other services costs.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Our gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue and our gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of revenue. The gross profit and gross margin for our products are varied and are expected to continue to vary from period to period due to the mix of products sold through either a 3D Printer sale transaction or a Recurring Payment transaction, new product introductions and efforts to optimize our operational costs. Other factors affecting our gross profit include changes to our material costs, assembly costs that are themselves dependent upon improvements to yield, and any increase in assembly overhead to support a greater number of 3D Printers sold and markets served.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses represent costs incurred to support activities that advance the development of innovative AM technologies, new product platforms and consumables, as well as activities that enhance the capabilities of our existing product platforms. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs for individuals working in our research and development departments, including stock-based compensation, prototypes, design expenses, information technology costs and software license amortization, consulting and contractor costs, and an allocated portion of overhead costs, including depreciation of property and equipment used in research and development activities.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs for individuals working in our sales and marketing departments, including stock-based compensation, costs related to trade shows and events, advertising, marketing promotions, travel costs and an allocated portion of overhead costs, including information technology costs and costs for customer validation.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs for individuals associated with our executive, administrative, finance, legal, information technology and human resources functions, including stock-based compensation, professional fees for legal, audit and compliance, accounting and consulting services, general corporate costs, facilities, rent, information technology costs, insurance, bad debt expenses and an allocated portion of overhead costs, including equipment and depreciation and other general and administrative expenses.
Interest Expense
Interest expense primarily consists of interest incurred under our outstanding debt and finance leases.
Loss on the Convertible Note Modification
Loss on the convertible note modification relates to the convertible note agreement modification that occurred in September 2021.
Gain/(Loss) on Fair Value of Warrants
Loss on valuation of warrant liabilities relates to the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, including liabilities related to the public warrants and private placement warrants, which are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date.
Gain on Fair Value of Contingent Earnout Liabilities
Loss on valuation of contingent earnout liabilities relates to the changes in the fair value of contingent earnout liabilities related to the Earn-Out Shares, which are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income, net includes interest earned on our bank sweep account, gains and losses on disposals of fixed assets and other miscellaneous income/expenses.
Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes consists of an estimate of federal and state and income taxes based on enacted federal and state tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in tax law. Due to the level of historical losses, we maintain a full valuation allowance against U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as we have concluded it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. We do not believe that there is objectively verifiable evidence that the improvement in our results of operations is sustainable to support the release of the remaining valuation allowance. As of September 30, 2021, there was no foreign income taxes or liabilities.
