CEO MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS:

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

I am pleased to report that we have achieved the strongest third quarter performance in our Company's history. This remarkable accomplishment comes despite the broader market experiencing continued uncertainty in capital spending on manufacturing equipment – a challenge that has notably impacted many of our industry peers.

Crucially, it is not just about the top-line. As part of our “Reshaping Nano Initiative,” we have reduced our net cash burn to $3 million for the quarter. This is 80% less than the same quarter last year and a key milestone on our path to being an EBITDA positive business.

What makes this quarter truly extraordinary is not just our financial performance, but also the strategic milestones we've reached. In Q3 alone, our team successfully announced two transformational M&A agreements – withDesktop Metal, Inc. (on July 3rd, 2024) (“Desktop Metal”) and Markforged Holding Corporation (on September 25th, 2024) (“Markforged”). Each of these deals would be considered landmarks in their own right; to executeboth in a single quarter is a testament to our team's exceptional execution capabilities and our clear strategic vision.

What is surely more exciting is not what we have done, but what the future of Nano Dimension will be and what it is poised to accomplish.

The New Nano Dimension – which includes the business as it is today and Desktop Metal and Markforged – will have:

• An exemplary technology portfolio that spans digital manufacturing solutions with a focus on additive manufacturing systems that are aligned with the strongest expected future growth of our industry, e.g. additively manufactured electronics, binder jetting for metal, fused filament fabrication (“FFF”) for metal and composites, to name a few.
• Revenue of $340 million based on 2023 results that delivers scale and the promise of sizeable financial results that can flow down to the bottom-line.
• A robust capital position of $475 million expected at the time both transactions will have closed, which provides us the flexibility to support our continued development and secure our business well into the future.
• All of this, along with our financial prowess and meaningful post-merger integration strategy, are expected to enable us to be EBITDA positive in Q4 2026.

Importantly, the above is happening in an industry context where others are losing scale and are themselves jeopardized with a weak capital position. Whether the metric is product or financial, we are poised to succeed.

For those that have followed us over the last few years, most, if not all of this, is not a surprise to you. We have indicated or even said we would accomplish this.

Simply put: Promises made. Promises delivered.

I must address an important matter that requires your attention. An activist investor, Murchinson Ltd. (“Murchinson”), who some of you may recall from their activity last year, has emerged yet again. They seek to challenge and constrain our proven program of growth and transformation through proposals at our upcoming Annual General Meeting. While we respect the right of all shareholders to express their views, we believe their approach will put the very initiatives that have delivered our current successes and positioned us for future growth at risk. A look at their proposals will indicate that Murchinson STILL has yet to create the most basic of plans for value creation, providing NO insight into the business and NO executable ideas.

I urge shareholders to protect their investment and vote “FOR” all of Nano Dimension’s proposals. Act fast – voting cut-off is on Sunday, December 1st, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. ET (it may be even earlier, so please check with your broker). To learn more visit: www.ProtectingNanoValue.com.

Thank you for your continued trust and investment in our Company.

Sincerely,
Yoav Stern
Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors of Nano Dimension

• Total revenues for the third quarter of 2024 were $14,856,000, compared to $12,158,000 in the third quarter of 2023. The increase is attributed to increased sales of the Company’s product lines.

Non-IFRS Measures

The following are reconciliations of income before taxes, as calculated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as well as of gross profit, as calculated in accordance with IFRS, to Adjusted Gross Profit:

EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as income before taxes, excluding depreciation and amortization expenses and interest income. We believe that EBITDA, as described above, should be considered in evaluating the Company’s operations. EBITDA facilitates the Company’s performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, and the age and depreciation charges and amortization of fixed and intangible assets, respectively (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense, respectively), and EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to the items mentioned above.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before other financial income, income tax, depreciation and amortization, share-based payments and other extraordinary income, net, which consists of additional compensation for damaged fixed assets. Other financial expenses (income), net includes exchange rate differences as well as finance income or revaluation of assets and liabilities. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, as described above, should also be considered in evaluating the company’s operations. Like EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting other financial expenses (income), net), and the age and depreciation charges and amortization of fixed and intangible assets, respectively (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense, respectively), as well as from share-based payment expenses, and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to non-cash items, such as expenses related to share-based payments.

Adjusted gross profit, excluding depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expenses, is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as gross profit excluding amortization expenses. We believe that adjusted gross profit, as described above, should also be considered in evaluating the Company’s operations. Adjusted gross profit facilitates gross profit and gross margin comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in amortization of inventory and intangible assets. Adjusted gross profit is useful to an investor in evaluating our performance because it enables investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company’s performance without regard to non-cash items, such as amortization expenses. Adjusted gross margin is calculated by dividing the adjusted gross profit by the revenues.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted gross profit do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Other companies may calculate these measures differently than we do.

Net Loss excluding changes in Company’s holdings in Stratasys’ shares. We believe that by excluding the value of the Company’s holdings in Stratasys’ shares we neutralize the volatility of these shares and provide investors an additional measurement to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and its liquidity. This measurement should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance or as a measure of our liquidity. This measurement should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Net cash burn is a non-IFRS measure and defined as the change in cash, cash equivalents and deposits net of treasury shares repurchase and Stratasys shares. We believe that net cash burn, as described above, should be considered in evaluating the Company’s financial strength. Net cash burn gives a sense of how our use of cash and cash flow has changed overtime.

1 Excluding cost of revenues from depreciation and share-based payments expenses.

2 Change in cash, cash equivalents and deposits net of treasury shares repurchase
