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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 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 July 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) which aligns the disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of codification topics with the SEC’s regulations. Company adopted this guidance upon its issuance, which has not had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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.

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

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 Income (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. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases with terms shorter than twelve months.

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 September 30, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term for the Company’s leases was 3.1 years, and weighted-average discount rate was 4.7%.

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.

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:

September 30, December 31,
       2019        2018
U.S. $ in thousands
Deferred revenue*              68,956              72,387

*Includes $15.7 million and $18.4 million under long-term deferred revenue in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Revenue recognized in 2019 that was included in deferred revenue balance as of January 1, 2019 was $10.9 million and $42.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

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 September 30, 2019, the total RPO amounted to 89.4 million. The Company expects to recognize $70.1 million of this RPO during the next 12 months, $14.0 million over the subsequent 12 months and the remaining $5.3 million 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the deferred commission amounted to $3.7 million and $3.1 million respectively.

Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Changes in the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill for the nine-months ended September 30, 2019 were as follows:

      U.S. $ in thousands
Goodwill as of January 1, 2019 $                   385,849
Foreign currency translation adjustments (517 )
Goodwill as of September 30, 2019 $ 385,332

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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

During the third 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.

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 4.5 million shares and 4.2 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 10.3% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to an effective tax rate of 9.2% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, and a negative effective tax rate of 54.8% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to a negative effective tax rate of 21.5% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The Company’s effective tax rate as of September 30, 2019 was primarily impacted by the geographic mix of its earnings and losses, as well as a valuation allowance on losses of the Company's US subsidiaries.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

Financial instruments measured at fair value

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

September 30, 2019       December 31, 2018
      (U.S. $ in thousands)
Assets:

Liabilities:
Foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments (184 ) (196 )
Foreign exchange forward contracts designated as hedging instruments - (628 )
$ 1,229 $ (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, bank loan, accounts payable and other current liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values.

Note 9. Derivative instruments and hedging activities

Since the Company conducts its operations globally, it is 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. The Company enters into transactions involving foreign currency exchange derivative financial instruments. 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 does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes.

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”), Euro, Korean Won, Chinese Yuan 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 following table summarizes the consolidated balance sheets classification and fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments:

Fair Value Notional Amount
September 30, December 31, September 30, December 31,
      Balance sheet location       2019       2018       2019       2018

$ 1,229 $ (450 ) $ 105,068 $ 130,423

As of September 30, 2019, the notional amounts of the Company’s outstanding exchange forward contracts, not designated as hedging instruments, were $88.1 million, and were used to reduce foreign currency exposures. With respect to such derivatives, gains of $3.2 million and $0.6 million were recognized under financial income (expense), net for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and gains of $4.5 million and $1.5 million were recognized under financial income (expense), net for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Such gains or losses partially offset the foreign currencies revaluation changes of the balance sheet items. These foreign currencies revaluation changes are also recognized under financial income (expense), net.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had in effect foreign exchange forward contracts, designated as cash flow hedge for accounting purposes, for the conversion of $17.0 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 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 June 2020.

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. While the Company does not believe that the reasonably possible losses from this proceeding will be material to the Company's financial statements, those losses (if any) cannot be estimated at the current time.

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, profitability or cash flows of the Company.

Discussion of Results of Operations

Revenues

Our products and services revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, as well as the percentage change reflected thereby, were as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30,
2019       2018 % Change

Products $ 106,346 $ 109,647 -3.0 %
Services 51,114 52,402 -2.5 %
$     157,460 $     162,049 -2.8 %

Products Revenues

Products revenues (including systems and consumable materials) decreased by $3.3 million, or 3.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in products revenues was driven by a decrease in our systems revenues.

Systems revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased by 9.5% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in systems revenues was driven primarily by a decrease in sales to the automotive and the industrial machinery markets in Europe.

2


Consumables revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased by 3.3% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in consumables revenues reflected the utilization of our installed base of system and was partially offset by the unfavorable exchange rate.

Services Revenues

Services revenues (including SDM, maintenance contracts, spare parts and other services) decreased by $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, or 2.5%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. Within services revenues, customer support revenue, which includes revenue generated mainly by maintenance contracts on our systems, increased by 3.3%, driven primarily by growth in our installed base of systems.

Revenues by Region

Revenues and the percentage of revenues by region for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, as well as the percentage change in revenues in each such region reflected thereby, were as follows:

The increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by a gain of $7.0 million from the sale of our former subsidiary Solidscape during the three months ended September 30, 2018, which reduced our selling general and administrative expenses during that quarter, and which was not repeated during the corresponding period in 2019.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating income (loss) and operating income (loss) as a percentage of our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, were as follows:

Operating loss amounted to $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to operating income of $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in operating loss was primarily attributable to higher selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, mainly as a result of the sale of Solidscape.

Financial Income (expense), net

Financial income, net, which was primarily comprised of foreign currencies effects, interest income and interest expense, amounted to $0.3 million, compared to financial expense, net of $0.04 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in financial income, net is mainly due to lower financial expenses as a result of the full repayment of our loans in the first quarter of 2019 and due to higher interest yields on our cash investments.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, our proportionate share of the losses of our equity method investments was $0.7 million compared to $3.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in our share in the losses of unconsolidated entities is due to sale of LPW during 2018 and in-process research and development (IPR&D) write-off recorded in 2018.

Net Loss Attributable to Stratasys Ltd. and Net Loss Per Share

Net loss attributable to Stratasys Ltd., and diluted net loss per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, were as follows:

Supplemental Operating Results on a Non-GAAP Basis

The following non-GAAP data, which excludes certain items as described below, are non-GAAP financial measures. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful information for investors and shareholders of our company in gauging our results of operations (x) on an ongoing basis after excluding merger and acquisition related expense and reorganization-related charges or gains, and (y) excluding non-cash items such as stock-based compensation expenses, acquired intangible assets amortization, including intangible assets amortization related to equity method investments, impairment of long-lived assets and the corresponding tax effect of those items. These non-GAAP adjustments either do not reflect actual cash outlays that impact our liquidity and our financial condition or have a non-recurring impact on the statement of operations, as assessed by management. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance for internal planning and forecasting purposes. The limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures are that they provide a view of our results of operations without including all items indicated above during a period, which may not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies in our industry. Investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table below.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period 393,734 329,359
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period $ 347,191 $ 349,465

Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances decreased to $347.2 million on September 30, 2019 from $393.7 million on December 31, 2018. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to net cash used by financing activities in an amount of $22.1 million, and $18.3 million used in investing activities, as described below.

During the corresponding period of 2018 our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances increased to $349.5 million at September 30, 2018 from $329.4 million at December 31, 2017.

Cash flows from operating activities

We used $7.8 million of cash from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This cash used by our operating activities reflects our $8.2 million net loss for this period, as well as downwards adjustments to reflect the unfavorable changes in our working capital balances and to eliminate non-cash changes in our other assets and liabilities, in an aggregate amount of $49.0 million, partially offset by adjustments to eliminate non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization of $37.9 million and stock-based compensation expenses of $15.8 million. The unfavorable impact of our working capital balances was driven by proactive steps to increase inventory levels in order to decrease lead time and support product demand.

We generated $45.0 million of cash from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. That cash generated by our operating activities reflected our $17.5 million net loss for that period, as adjusted to eliminate non-cash charges such as $45.9 million of depreciation and amortization and $11.7 million of stock-based compensation expense and share in losses of associated companies of $11.2 million, as well as $0.7 million of changes in our working capital balances and other assets.

Cash flows used in investing activities

We used $18.3 million of cash in our investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Cash was primarily used to invest $16.5 million to purchase property and equipment, and $4.5 million of investing in unconsolidated entity which was offset mainly by proceeds of $4.9 million from the sale of our subsidiaries and unconsolidated entity. Our principal property and equipment purchases were for our new buildings complex under construction in Rehovot, Israel. The new facility in Rehovot, Israel, which will contain two buildings, houses our Israeli headquarters, research and development facilities and certain marketing activities.

We used $20.2 million of cash in our investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Cash was primarily used to invest $18.9 million to purchase property and equipment, (primarily for our new buildings complex under construction in Rehovot, Israel).

Cash flows used in financing activities

We used $22.1 million of cash in our financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Cash used for financing activities was mainly attributable to the early repayment of the full outstanding principal amount of our loan in an amount of $27.3 million as described below under “Long-Term Bank Loan and Credit Line.” Cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to proceeds of $5.2 million from the exercise of stock options.

We used $3.0 million of cash in our financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Cash used in financing activities was mainly attributable to the $3.9 million used for quarterly repayments of our long-term loan.

Capital resources and capital expenditures

Our total current assets amounted to $683.0 million as of September 30, 2019, of which $347.2 million consisted of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Total current liabilities amounted to $174.0 million. Most of our cash and cash equivalents are held in banks in Israel and the U.S.

The credit risk related to our accounts receivable is limited due to the relatively large number of customers and their wide geographic distribution. In addition, we seek to reduce the credit exposure related to our accounts receivable by imposing credit limits, by conducting ongoing credit evaluation, and by implementing account monitoring procedures, as well as credit insurance for many of our customers.

We believe that we will have adequate cash and cash equivalents to fund our ongoing operations and that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our capital expenditure for the next twelve months.

Long-Term Bank Loan and Credit Line

In December 2016, our company entered into a secured loan agreement with Bank Hapoalim Ltd. in connection with our new office facility in Israel, which agreement we refer to as the Bank Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Bank Loan Agreement, our company borrowed $26 million initially in December 2016, which we refer to as the Bank Loan, and secured a credit line for an additional $24 million, or the Credit Line. Any loans to be drawn upon the Credit Line were to be under similar terms as the Bank Loan. The Bank Loan was to mature in December 2023 and was payable in equal consecutive quarterly principal installments of principal and accrued interest. Any early repayment of the Bank Loan was subject to, within the initial three-year term of the Bank Loan, a maximum 1% penalty of the amount prepaid. The repayment of the Bank Loan was secured by a first-priority lien on all of our company’s rights in the property of our new office facility in Israel. The Bank Loan bore interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3.35%. The Bank Loan Agreement contained customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and negative covenants, which included, without limitation, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, and certain dispositions with respect to the property secured by the lien.

The Bank Loan Agreement also contained customary events of default that entitled the lender to cause any or all of our company's indebtedness to become immediately due and payable and to foreclose on the lien and included customary grace periods before certain events were to be deemed events of default. Borrowings under the Bank Loan Agreement were available mainly for the financing of our new facility in Israel.

As indicated above (under “Cash flows used in financing activities”), in the first quarter of 2019, we repaid the full outstanding principal amount of the Bank Loan, in an aggregate amount of $27.3 million, plus all interest accrued thereon, thereby fulfilling all of our remaining obligations under the Bank Loan Agreement. In connection with the repayment, the first-priority lien on all of our rights with respect to the property of our new office facility in Israel was removed.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This has required us to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affected the amounts we reported. Actual results may differ from those estimates. To facilitate the understanding of our business activities, certain accounting policies that are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s subjective judgments are described in our 2018 Annual Report. We base our judgments on our experience and various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations

Certain information included in or incorporated by reference into the Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K to which this Operating and Financial Review and Prospects is appended, or the Form 6-K, may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “project,” “plan,” “assume” or other similar expressions, or negatives of those expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our future strategy, future operations, projected financial position, proposed products, estimated future revenues, projected costs, future prospects, the future of our industry and results that might be obtained by pursuing management’s current plans and objectives.

You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Our forward-looking statements are based on the information currently available to us and speak only as of the date of this Form 6-K. Over time, our actual results, performance or achievements may differ from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, and such difference might be significant and materially adverse to our shareholders. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Important factors that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements include, among other things:

the extent of our success at introducing new or improved products and solutions that gain market share;
 
the extent of growth of the 3D printing market generally;
 
changes in our overall strategy, including as related to any reorganization activities and our capital expenditures;
 
the impact of shifts in prices or margins of the products that we sell or services we provide;
 
the impact of competition and new technologies;
 
impairments of goodwill or other intangible assets in respect of companies that we acquire;
 
the extent of our success at efficiently and successfully integrating the operations of various companies that we have acquired or may acquire;
 
global market, political and economic conditions, and in the countries in which we operate in particular;
 
government regulations and approvals;

16



litigation and regulatory proceedings;
 
infringement of our intellectual property rights by others (including for replication and sale of consumables for use in our systems), or infringement of others’ intellectual property rights by us;
 
the extent of our success at maintaining our liquidity and financing our operations and capital needs;
 
impact of tax regulations on our results of operations and financial condition; and
 
those factors referred to in Item 3.D, “Key Information - Risk Factors”, Item 4, “Information on the Company”, and Item 5, “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our 2018 Annual Report, as well as in the 2018 Annual Report generally.

Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made throughout the Form 6-K, our 2018 Annual Report, and in our other reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, which are designed to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Reference is made to Item 11, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our 2018 Annual Report.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to various litigation and other legal proceedings. For a discussion of certain of these matters that we deem to be material to our company, see Note 11-“Contingencies” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 6-K.

The computation of diluted net loss per share excluded share awards of 4.5 million shares and 4.2 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on the diluted net loss per share

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is as follows:

Weighted Average
      Number of Options       Exercise Price
Options outstanding as of January 1, 2019 2,551,743 $ 30.82

Options exercisable as of September 30, 2019                  1,600,304 $     35.90

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company issued 242,317 shares and 87,158 shares, respectively, upon the exercise of stock options. This resulted in an increase in equity of $5.2 million and $1.7 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

As of September 30, 2019, the unrecognized compensation cost of $5.1 million related to all unvested, equity-classified stock options is expected to be recognized as an expense over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

A summary of the Company’s RSUs and PSUs activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is as follows:

Weighted Average
      Number of RSUs and PSUs       Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested as of January 1, 2019 1,422,887 $ 20.17

Forfeited (251,574 ) 22.19
Unvested as of September 30, 2019                              2,431,087 $ 24.07

The fair value of RSUs and PSUs is determined based on the quoted price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the date of the grant.

As of September 30, 2019, the unrecognized compensation cost of $45.1 million related to all unvested, equity-classified RSUs and PSUs is expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years.

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. While the Company does not believe that the reasonably possible losses from this proceeding will be material to the Company's financial statements, those losses (if any) cannot be estimated at the current time.

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, profitability or cash flows of the Company.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Changes in the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill for the nine-months ended September 30, 2019 were as follows:

      U.S. $ in thousands
Goodwill as of January 1, 2019 $                   385,849
Foreign currency translation adjustments (517 )
Goodwill as of September 30, 2019 $ 385,332

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 third 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.

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.

Derivative instruments and hedging activities

Note 9. Derivative instruments and hedging activities

Since the Company conducts its operations globally, it is 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. The Company enters into transactions involving foreign currency exchange derivative financial instruments. 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 does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes.

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”), Euro, Korean Won, Chinese Yuan 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 following table summarizes the consolidated balance sheets classification and fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments:

Fair Value Notional Amount

$ 1,229 $ (450 ) $ 105,068 $ 130,423

As of September 30, 2019, the notional amounts of the Company’s outstanding exchange forward contracts, not designated as hedging instruments, were $88.1 million, and were used to reduce foreign currency exposures. With respect to such derivatives, gains of $3.2 million and $0.6 million were recognized under financial income (expense), net for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and gains of $4.5 million and $1.5 million were recognized under financial income (expense), net for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Such gains or losses partially offset the foreign currencies revaluation changes of the balance sheet items. These foreign currencies revaluation changes are also recognized under financial income (expense), net.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had in effect foreign exchange forward contracts, designated as cash flow hedge for accounting purposes, for the conversion of $17.0 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 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 June 2020.

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:

September 30, December 31,
       2019        2018
U.S. $ in thousands
Deferred revenue*              68,956              72,387

*Includes $15.7 million and $18.4 million under long-term deferred revenue in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Revenue recognized in 2019 that was included in deferred revenue balance as of January 1, 2019 was $10.9 million and $42.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

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 September 30, 2019, the total RPO amounted to 89.4 million. The Company expects to recognize $70.1 million of this RPO during the next 12 months, $14.0 million over the subsequent 12 months and the remaining $5.3 million 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the deferred commission amounted to $3.7 million and $3.1 million respectively.

In July 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) which aligns the disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of codification topics with the SEC’s regulations. Company adopted this guidance upon its issuance, which has not had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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 Income (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. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases with terms shorter than twelve months.

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 September 30, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term for the Company’s leases was 3.1 years, and weighted-average discount rate was 4.7%.

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.
