CEO MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS:

Dear Shareholders,

Nano Dimension’s momentum continues, and the second quarter and first half of 2023 are no exception. The financial results prove that the people, initiatives, business plan and M&A strategy we have put in place are delivering exceptional revenue and gross margin improvements. Moreover, the 47% organic revenue growth since Q3/2022, across different product lines, is a testament of our unique and synergistic business model.

When many, if not all other businesses, in our space have top-lines that are stagnating or declining, our revenues are growing 33% quarter-over-quarter and 38% half-over-half for 2023. When many of our peers have had to lower prices to compete and/or pay more for an inefficiently managed supply chain, our gross profits are increasing:

• Up 81% from Q2/2022

• Up 185% from H1/2022

We strongly believe that this is only the beginning. We have the right people, technologies, and products for this business to continue to deliver strong results. During the most recent 3-4 quarters, however, I am not focusing on quarterly results, as good as they are – but rather looking at annual trends, aiming for improvements in margins, and potentially, in the not too far future, a positive EBITDA and bottom line. I am confident of this trajectory based on our strong R&D achievements, especially in materials’ developments, pipeline and customer relationships, as well as build-up of sales & marketing infrastructure.

Considerations for Profitability and Cash Flow:

We prudently continue to invest in R&D and Go-to-Market. Those are larger investments than what a company at our present size can typically afford, should it wish to be profitable in near term quarters. However, we are growing steadily – and that’s what we aim to do. Negative cashflows are temporary investments which are meticulously calculated and aimed to match the significant organic growth we expect and the upcoming consolidation waves that we foresee in our industry.

We are prioritizing long-term value creation with a horizon of a few quarters, rather than nearer-term profitability at the expense of the Company’s future potential. If we cut expenses and maximize profit now, an alternative that is definitely doable, we would be sacrificing a substantially increased valuation for the Company down the road. Hence, investors with a different investment-event-horizon, may join us by stretching their timeline slightly, and their expected returns will emerge.

We are not where we are by accident, in particular the cash on our balance sheet was and is preplanned. We are here because we have always respected our fiduciary responsibility to our shareholders, which has led us to spend your capital more prudently than others.

Our disciplined approach to capital allocation has enabled us to enter the next phase of this marketplace - when capital is tight for many - and fully execute on our strategic growth plans. Nano has the cash firepower to continue to build our business and we see significant opportunities ahead, such as the acquisition we announced last week of U.K.-based Additive Flow's technology and intellectual property, which covers solutions for 3D design simulation and optimization.

There will be a few leaders that emerge as dominating the digital manufacturing fields, and we are ideally positioned to act as a consolidator in the highly fragmented market landscape with numerous attractive potential targets. It is hard to imagine who is better positioned than we are.

Nano’s Performance 2020-2023:
Nano’s ambitious and focused M&A strategy, combined with strong organic growth, has already driven significant value creation in recent years:

• $4.4M revenue run rate in 2020 - 2021, up to $60M annual revenue run-rate in H1/2023

• 47% organic growth since Q3/2022

• Adjusted gross margins approaching 50%

• 6 synergistic product lines with hundreds of machines sold across four continents:

  • AME

  • Additive Electronics

  • AM for Metal and Ceramic

  • Micro-Additive Manufacturing

  • Ink Systems

  • Deep Learning AI for Industrial, AM, AME, and other applications

• 6 integrated acquisitions and $1.1 billion of cash, cash equivalents, deposits, and investments

• 5 R&D and manufacturing centers in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, the UK, and Israel

• Sales & marketing and operations in Boston (USA), Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and Australia.

Upcoming Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (“Annual Meeting”):

As many of you are aware, Murchinson Ltd. (“Murchinson”), a small non-institutional fund trying to establish itself as a legitimate “activist,” is threatening to derail the Company’s progress and future value creation opportunity at our upcoming Annual Meeting on September 7^th, 2023. Murchinson’s goal is to remove 9 directors – 7 of whom are independent – all of whom have diverse skills and expertise that are critical to Nano’s future success.

Murchinson has presented NO strategic plan and NO vision for Nano’s future. We believe Murchinson’s campaign is a blatant attempt to elevate the fund’s profile as an “activist” on the account of Nano Dimension and make a quick profit by gaining access to the Company’s significant cash reserves, at the expense of substantial long-term value creation potential for other shareholders.

Murchinson's efforts to manipulate Nano’s stock, with the help of collaborators, has resulted in its cost basis of (estimated) $2.50 per share. The fund stands to generate an (estimated) 60% return in (estimated) 12 months by seeking to liquidate the Company at $4.00 per share. Doing so would deprive you of the considerable upside as Nano continues to execute on its strategy.

They now falsely claim that the cash value of ~$4.00 per share today should be the maximum value of your company, and wish to take it over, liquidate and distribute what will end up less than $4.00 per share to 170,000 (estimated number) retail shareholders. Most of those have cost-basis which is much higher than that, and they will be deprived of the opportunity to reach value which is much more than $4.00 per share.

Those eccentric-pseudo-activist shareholders are attempting to oust our board, replace it with their own nominees (which were already paid $250,000 in non-refundable cash in advance, just to be participants in this predator’s scheme, even if they are not voted to be directors; just to lend their names to a derogatory proxy fight).

We hope results like today will also resonate with shareholders since they validate the success of our business model and strategic initiatives as we continue to build on our leadership in the industry. Nano, under the existing Board and management team, has a bright future ahead, with a multi-pronged growth strategy buoyed by strong fundamentals, including disciplined M&A objectives and strong organic growth from leading technology development and innovation efforts. We hope existing and prospective shareholders will see the opportunity as we continue to deliver strong results annually.

However, this will not continue if Murchinson has its way. As previously announced, I intend to resign as the Company's CEO if EVEN ONE of the Murchinson nominees are elected to the Board. A large number of Nano’s senior management indicated similar intentions. I believe Murchinson’s involvement will derail the Company’s strategic direction and I (and others) simply refuse to work with any representative of Murchinson, when I believe their intention is to dismantle Nano Dimension.

Murchinson nominees have all accepted inducement payments of $50,000 each to simply stand for election, a clear mechanism to buy their loyalty.

I urge shareholders to vote to protect their investment and the significant value creation opportunity that Nano represents and vote FOR the current Nano Board.

Thank you for your support.

Yoav Stern
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

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:

	For the Six-Months Period Ended June 30,		For the Three-Months Period Ended June 30,
	2023
	In thousands of USD		In thousands of USD
Net income (loss)	12,553		(9,406	)
Tax expenses	152		78
Depreciation and amortization	2,963		1,540

Share-based compensation expenses	11,542		5,418
Adjusted EBITDA (loss)	(47,181	)	(23,509	)

	For the Six-Months Period Ended June 30,		For the Three-Months Period Ended June 30,
	2022	2023	2022	2023
Gross profit	4,581	13,061	3,580	6,495
Depreciation and amortization	3,298	186	436	120
Share-based compensation expenses	743	812	419	390
Adjusted gross profit	8,622	14,059	4,435	7,005

EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as income before taxes, excluding depreciation and amortization expenses and amortization of assets recognized in business combination 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 income before taxes, excluding depreciation and amortization expenses and amortization of assets recognized in business combination, interest income, finance income for revaluation of assets and liabilities, exchange rate differences and share-based payments. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, as described above, should also be considered in evaluating the Company’s operations. Like EBITDA, Adjusted 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), as well as from revaluation of assets and liabilities, exchange rate differences and share-based payment expenses. 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 revaluation, exchange rate differences and 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.
