DTM Corporation Reports Record Second Quarter Income of $0.11 Per Share And Record Revenue of $10.3 MillionAUSTIN, Texas, July 18 DTM Corporation today announced that net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was $763,000, or $0.11 per share. This was an increase of 159% from 1999's second quarter income of $295,000, or $0.04 per share. DTM's revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 were $10.3 million, a 36% increase over the comparable prior period revenues of $7.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net income was $1,125,000, or $0.16 per share. This was an increase of 98% from 1999's first half net income of $569,000, or $0.09 per share. DTM's revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $18,486,000, a 19% increase over the comparable prior year period revenues of $15,571,000. John S. Murchison, III, DTM's President and CEO, said, "This was a very good quarter. Top line growth was exceptional with good contribution from both continuing revenues and machine sales. Continuing revenues include service contracts, support services and sales of sintering materials and were at a record level for the second quarter. Machine shipments were also at a record level. While sales were good in all of our primary geographic markets, they were particularly strong in the Pacific Rim and Europe as a result of machines purchased by customers in each of those areas. This overall strength in our business led to a record for second quarter earnings." "During the quarter we continued to make good progress with new product and market initiatives. Beta testing of our new metal powder, LaserForm ST- 100, has been very positive and the product launch is scheduled for later this year. We believe that applications for this powder, which include metal functional prototypes and tooling, will allow us to continue to grow the prototype market segment. In addition, there is also a growing interest in the use of DTM's selective laser sintering products for small lot manufacturing. We believe DTM's selective laser sintering products are well suited for such applications and that this market will become an increasingly important part of our business." About DTM Corporation DTM develops, manufactures, and markets advanced rapid prototyping and manufacturing systems that include the Sinterstation(R) 2500plus. All Sinterstation systems utilize a process called SLS(R) selective laser sintering and any of several plastic or metal SLS materials to create three-dimensional objects from CAD designs. Leading manufacturers throughout the world, in a range of industries, use Sinterstation systems to rapidly create production-quality parts, functional prototypes, and tooling for their products. Sinterstation users can realize numerous benefits as they develop and manufacture products: ability to efficiently produce low-volume/high-value products or to even customize every product to the customer's exact needs; time savings; lower development costs, more efficient testing; capability to prototype and test more design options; and the competitive advantage associated with bringing new products to market faster. Additionally, product designers can design complex part shapes that could not be fabricated under conventional methods. Unlike competing technologies and systems that are used primarily to create visualization models, DTM's systems address industry's growing need for rapidly produced, durable, testable prototypes and end-use parts.
