On-demand manufacturing service supplier Fathom Digital Manufacturing (FTHM) has reported its income grew by 33% in Q1 2022.
More from the News
Over the course of the interval, which marked the primary full quarter as a public firm on the NYSE, the agency generated $40.5 million, $10 million greater than the $30.5 million it reported in Q1 2021.

“Fathom delivered positive results in its first full quarter as a public company,” he stated. “We are an industry pioneer with a history of profitability and cash generation, and extended this tradition in Q1 as we continue to benefit from the strong demand for our broad capabilities in the fast-growing digital manufacturing market.”
Fathom’s Q1 2022 monetary outcomes
Fathom usually studies its income throughout 5 key product segments: Additive Manufacturing, Injection Molding, CNC Machining, Precision Sheet Metal, and ‘Other Revenue.’
Over the course of Q1 2022, the agency’s best-performing division was Precision Sheet Metal, which introduced in $14.6 million and accounted for 36% of complete income generated in the course of the interval. This improve was largely pushed by getting into into a brand new multimillion-dollar settlement with a world semiconductor firm to supply low quantity sheet metallic manufacturing, which adopted earlier work with the client relating to CNC machining.
The firm’s subsequent highest income generator was its CNC Machining division, which introduced in $13.three million in Q1 2022, 11.9% greater than it did in Q1 2021. Following this was Injection Molding at $6.Eight million, Additive Manufacturing at $4.1 million, and Other Revenue at $1.6 million.
On the earnings name, Fathom’s CFO Mark Frost stated that whereas its Additive Manufacturing section was down 8.6% in comparison with Q1 2021, the agency maintained its pricing self-discipline in the course of the quarter and is constant to put money into new additive applied sciences, remaining “bullish” on the long-term progress of its additive platform.
“In addition to seasonal factors, our Q1 revenue was impacted by a domestic slowdown in early January due to the spread of the Omicron variant, which reduced additive revenue,” he stated. “We also experienced a reduction in our outsource business stemming from the COVID lockdowns in Asia, which impacted particularly our injection molding shipments.”
Frost additionally added that Q1 tends to be its lowest revenue-generating quarter primarily based on its ‘customer and commercial behaviors’, and though its natural income grew 6% throughout Q1 2022, $7.7 million of the agency’s Q1 income was the results of 5 acquisitions accomplished in the course of the interval; one home injection molding agency and 4 extra acquisitions targeted on CNC machining.
Regarding profitability, Martin stated the agency delivered a “profitable quarter” on account of adjusted EBITDA in the course of the quarter totaling $6.2 million, representing a 15.2% margin. Frost added that whereas Fathom incurred a dilution impression from the CNC acquisitions on its gross margin in comparison with the prior yr, which decreased the adjusted EBITDA of profit, this had been constructed into the corporate’s EBITDA expectations for the quarter.

During Q1, Fathom labored with an unnamed present buyer, described as a world chief in fuel measurement, devices, and applied sciences, to ramp up manufacturing of its product from 25 models per thirty days to just about 75, leveraging its CNC machining and Wire EDM choices.
“This is yet just another example of how Fathom is able to identify and capitalize on new organic growth opportunities that expand our share of wallet, build entrenched, long-lasting partnerships with enterprise customers and generate attractive reoccurring revenue streams that benefit not only our company, but our shareholders,” Martin stated.
Fathom additionally labored with prospects throughout the robotics, client electronics, semiconductor, and agricultural gear industries to cut back considerably cut back their time-to-market and rework their provide chains.
Throughout Q1 2022, Fathom labored with two corporations, one within the client electronics vertical and the opposite inside agricultural gear, to extend their adoption of additive manufacturing. For the patron electronics agency, Fathom solved its buyer labor scarcity by leveraging a Manufacturing As A Service (MAAS) settlement with its 3D printing applied sciences, whereas Fathom’s additive manufacturing prevented a “down line situation” anticipated to final 5 days at the agricultural gear agency with its additive manufacturing providing.
Projecting progress forward of Evolve Step launch
Off the again of its Q1 2022 financials, Fathom has reiterated its beforehand said steering of income between $182 million and $192 million for FY 2022. If achieved, this might signify a rise of round 23%.

Frost additionally repeated the agency’s intention to additional strengthen its additive manufacturing capabilities all through the remainder of 2022 with the industrial launch of its new Evolve Step expertise halfway via the yr.
“This advancement in additive manufacturing is another example of Fathom leading the transition from prototyping into additive production as this technology dramatically reduces lead times for parts compared to traditional injection molding tools and parts,” he stated. “In addition, we lately put in a brand new laser sintering system with two high-powered lasers for Polymer 3D printing, enabling the speedy manufacturing of elements.
“This is a major step up from predecessor systems leading to greater efficiencies, and productivity.”
