The increasing installed base of 212 325 6668 production printers directly drives demand for MTLS software, and peer on- [email protected] demand parts data suggest this market will remain quite strong. Charles Clarke 212 538 7095 ■ Why Materialise over Other 3D Plays? MTLS is a hardware-agnostic play [email protected] on market growth; its software is compatible with nearly all printer types, alleviating the need for investors to pick technological winners and losers. MTLS has high exposure to key industry drivers such as medical devices, shifting mix toward production parts, and less cyclical software. ■ Significant Potential Upside from Medical: We think MTLS is an excellent way to play the long-term adoption of patient-specific medical devices and virtual surgical planning, given close existing relationships with major device OEMs, high-density medical software IP, scope for metal device penetration (currently testing), and 40% revenue exposure to Medical. We are encouraged by the high growth in medical software (+19% in Q114) relative to hardware and think this will yield improved mix, with a significantly larger contribution from higher-margin software. Medical software also creates a cross-selling opportunity for the high-margin 3D Printing Software segment. ■ Valuation. We base our analysis on EV/sales (of peers) and DCF, giving a slight premium to MTLS versus peers for Medical exposure, 75%+ EBITDA from recurring-type software businesses, significant potential margin upside relative to peers, and untapped metals on-demand parts market.

Where Does Materialise Play in the 3D Printing Process? An engineer designs (or scans) an object in three dimensions using CAD (computer-aided design) software. Proprietary software from Materialise takes the engineer’s CAD design and mathematically slices it into cross sections. The software then determines the dimensions of the cross sections, inserts the necessary support structures, and communicates the order of assembly to the machine. The machine builds the object layer by layer (or point by point), typically using the materials provided by a print head and forming each cross section using the specifications from the CAD design. The finished product may require polishing or other final treatment.

■ 3D Printing Software segment licensing revenue is recognized per printer operator, and thus the increasing number of professional & production printer units directly drives demand for software (rather than absolute number of customers), although we acknowledge that one operator can manage multiple printers and some degree of undergrowth is possible in a mature state. ■ On-demand parts markets are currently growing 20-30% as well; therefore, we expect the Industrial Production segment to grow in-line with major OEMs given broad capacity by printer type, increasing share of sales from higher value end-use parts, and scope for penetration into metals. ■ Finally, the Medical segment could see above-industry average growth in the long term, consistent with current trends (DDD highlights health care as the fastest-growing 3D end market at 40%+ annually) as patient-specific medical devices and virtual surgical planning increase in popularity.

Potential Risks by Division: Price competition is intensifying in 3D Printing Software as 3D OEMs and open-source players focus more on file conversion software. Industrial Production could be affected by prototyping pricing pressure from competitors and sales loss as more customers invest in their own printing capacity. Medical is potentially at risk from device manufacturing competition as consolidation in that industry progresses and as customers increase their own 3D capacity. Further challenges include Materialise's on-demand parts and medical hardware capability being underexposed to metal and the near-term revenue impact from the transition to a longer-term Medical licensing model.

Materialise (MTLS) 7 21 July 2014 Addressable Market Overview Driven by Printer Hardware Materialise's addressable market is software (driven by the installed base of printers) and on-demand parts. At a high level, we estimate that on-demand parts is currently a ~$1bn opportunity and software is a ~$0.1bn market. We see significant scope for both markets to grow rapidly as production printers rise as a share of sales and the metals market takes off. (Production printers are generally used by manufacturers and thus more often require a more complete software solution). Broadly speaking, we believe that 3D Printing Software will grow nearly in-line with total Printers sales. In Exhibit 12, we show our forecasts for the total 3D printing market by type and expect the market to grow at a 25% CAGR over 2014-16.

Printing Software An Integral Part of the 3D Printing Process Software is a vital component of the printing process; it repairs and optimizes 3D models, inserts necessary support structures, facilitates process planning, and logistically organizes shipping of the finished product to the customer. Furthermore, certain printer manufacturers rely on third-party software vendors to provide operating software for their printers. 3D OEMs Have Adopted an Open Interface Virtually all 3D printer manufacturers allow for an open interface, where third-party software applications for designing and building parts are fully compatible with machine software and systems. When 3D printers are used in a professional environment, they generally run third-party software, with advantages including:

■ More efficient printer operations from multiple manufacturers, and

■ Potential to create more advanced and specialized end-user applications.

Competition in the additive manufacturing software market is based on factors such as product quality, the variety of AM printing system types supported, the level of customization available to customers, integration with various types of CAD files, the quality of maintenance, support services and price.

Software Demand Linked to 3D Printer Sales—Increasing Share of Production Systems and Metals The 3D Printing Software market is driven by the global installed base of 3D printing systems, and penetration of additive manufacturing as a production method used in industry. As end use parts become a large share of the parts produced by 3D printers, we

Materialise (MTLS) 9 21 July 2014 expect software penetration to improve. Part quality and machine throughput are major advantages of MTLS software, and these concerns are more relevant to production parts rather than parts for prototyping applications. Medical The Medical market is driven by demand for patient-specific medical devices such as surgical drill guides and customized implants. Third-party estimates suggest that several key medical devices represent an addressable opportunity of ~$600mn annually by 2017 (hardware only).

3D Printed Medical Parts Increasing Product Functionality Allows for Greater Design Complexity For many medical applications, the quality of plastic (or metal devices) manufactured by a 3D printer often matches or exceeds the part quality achieved by a traditional subtractive process. An implant design is based specifically on patient medical image data and therefore enables better tailoring of a medical procedure.

Materialise (MTLS) 10 21 July 2014

3D printing a device yields virtually no limitations on geometry as well as increased functional performance at virtually no increase in manufacturing costs. Incremental complexity is free, thus medical device companies are increasing using AM technology to design new devices.

Medical Currently Represents a Small Portion of the 3D Market While 3D printing is being increasingly utilized in medical planning and procedures, it still represents only a small proportion of the overall medical technologies market as well as the 3D printing market. Industry consultant Roland Berger estimates that the medical field accounted for 16% of the total global additive manufacturing market in 2012 (see Exhibit 18), while MarketsandMarkets expects it to reach 18% in 2017, growing at a CAGR of 17% from 2012 to 2017.

Opportunities Exist Across a Range Medical Devices

Replacements & Implants Frost & Sullivan estimates the global medical technologies market generated $343 billion in 2012 and will likely reach $476 billion by 2017. Within this, Frost & Sullivan estimates that the largest single sector in medical devices is orthopedics, accounting for 14% of the market equivalent to $48 billion in 2012. The two largest segments of the orthopedic market are knee and hip replacements, which globally generated >$8 billion and >$5 billion, respectively, during 2012. There were more than 730,000 knee implant procedures and more than 470,000 hip implant procedures in the United States alone in 2011 according to Frost & Sullivan, which also anticipates that the global orthopedic implant market will likely grow at an annual rate of 12%. This highlights the scale of the potential addressable market for AM manufacturing. AM offers advantages with regard to manufacturing time, materials, and geometric fit. In the case of skull implants, this can lead to faster recovery and reduced operating time. In the example of hip and knee implant procedures, the Credit Suisse health care research team estimates that, of the ~2.8m performed globally in 2013, currently less than 1% will involve a patient-specific implant. However, based on the aforementioned factors that indicate that an AM part can potentially produce better results, there is significant scope for market penetration.

Materialise (MTLS) 11 21 July 2014

Dental AM holds a large share of the dental crowns and bridges market. Aided by CAD scanning, more than 30m crowns, copings, and bridges have already been made on AM machines over the past six years, according to Roland Berger. This penetration and market share of AM should increase, as AM is currently estimated by Roland Berger to produce 10,000 copings every day, while one AM machine can produce 450 crowns per day versus a dental technician who can produce 40.

Hearing Aids Research to produce hearing aids using AM printing began in ~2001 with a collaboration between Siemens and Phonak. Since then, penetration has grown. We believe ~90%+ of current hearing aid shells produced today are AM printed Given the high penetration of AM printing within the manufacturing of hearing aids, we see this market growing at a midsingle-digit rate over the medium term and would not consider it a major growth opportunity for AM. In the context of the $3bn AM printing market today, hearing aids represent only ~3% of the market. To our understanding, hearing aids have become a "razor-blade" model (i.e., a bigger aftermarket), in which materials and other aftermarket services are a larger proportion of annual AM business.

Industrial On-Demand Parts Printing We think the 3D printed on-demand parts market is currently a $1bn opportunity, driven by CAD-proficient engineers, decreasing prototyping costs (cheaper printers), and increasing customer demand for end-use production-part manufacturing On-demand printed parts range from prototyping plastics to metal parts and sand molds. This allows customers who do not want to own and operate an AM system to print and receive custom parts.

There are also a variety of independent service bureaus or businesses that purchase 3D printers from OEMs and supply on-demand parts to a variety of customers. Most service bureaus offer CNC machining and injection molding in addition to additive manufacturing services. 3D Systems, for example, started its on-demand parts businesses via the acquisition of independent service bureaus, and we expect consolidation and vertical integration to continue. OEMs have a significant cost and service advantage in this market (as OEMs get printers and high-margin materials at cost), especially for 3D printing-focused service bureaus.

On-Demand Parts Sales Are Trending Positively Historically, the service provider facilities housed one or two AM technologies, with growth limited by a lack of access to capital. Maturity of the market has improved access to capital, with service providers allowing a much broader offering. In addition, there has also been

Materialise (MTLS) 13 21 July 2014 the evolution of a new type of service provider combining content, co-creation tools, and manufacturing services. Examples of this include and i.materialise, through which designers can upload their AM creations (as well as offering their design for sale), choose materials and color, view prices, and order the parts.

Materialise (MTLS) 14 21 July 2014 3D Printing Software Segment (20% of Sales) The 3D Printing Software segment develops proprietary software that enhances the functionality of almost all types of 3D printers (Arcam, 3D Systems & Stratasys, for example). The primary software function is to convert CAD files into a format that is ready to print. MTLS also offers software that efficiently organizes 3D printing workflow and logistics (i.e., "factory" automation for a group of printers). A key advantage of Materialise software is that it is compatible with almost all 3D printers. Revenue is generated through software license sales; these are either sold independently (via the sales force or online website) or, more typically, alongside a 3D printer. A very limited number of 3D printer OEMs provide their own software, opting for a closed ecosystem. However, we believe that the MTLS software portfolio gives customers flexibility in their 3D printing setups, and that the market is moving towards increasingly complex integrations of 3D printer types which favor this structure. Products Materialise has a number of software products (Exhibit 26) The flagship product within this segment is "Magics," which accounts for the largest number of licenses and focuses on file preparation before printing. In Exhibit 25, we show a basic overview of its functionality.

Exhibit 25: Magics Software Role in the 3D Printing process

Source: Company data, Credit Suisse estimates.

The key differentiating factor for Magics is that it can accommodate files for almost all 3D printers based on its open format. As the setup of 3D printers used in production becomes increasingly complex (different printers from different OEMs), machine-neutral software is becoming more important. A newer product that complements Magics (and an upsell opportunity for existing Magics customers) is Streamics. Streamics enhances printer communication across the

Materialise (MTLS) 15 21 July 2014 production process; we see this as "factory automation" for a group of 3D printers. Looking forward, this has the potential to be a faster-growth product as more advanced product planning software (like Streamics) becomes more necessary as the volumes running through 3D printers increases.

Revenue Types At the end of 2013, Materialise's installed base of licenses was >8,000, which were to >4,000 customers. Of software sales, 80% are through Materialise's own sales force, while 20% are sold through system manufacturers. There are three identifiable revenue streams from licenses in this division:

■ Software Licenses: These are either on a time basis or a perpetual basis;

■ Maintenance Contracts: These are predominantly offered as annual maintenance contracts, which give software updates on existing licenses; and

■ Custom Software Development Services: These are charged either on a time and material basis or on a fixed-cost basis.

Software Comprises Perpetual and Time-Based Licenses Software revenue for Materialise comprises both perpetual and time-based licenses, as well as maintenance revenue and software development service fees.

■ Perpetual Licenses: Customers pay an initial fee for a perpetual license and subsequently pay fees for maintenance under separate maintenance contracts, generally on an annual basis, as well as technical support and product updates.

■ Time-Based Licenses: These are generally annual licenses in which the customer pays equal periodic fees to keep the license active. Time-based licenses entitle the customer to corrective maintenance and product updates without additional charge.

Advantages of Materialise's 3D Printing Software Software is an integral and vital component of the AM printing process, from:

■ preparing data files to be printed (including import and processing of files in a different format),

■ repairing and optimizing AM models and CAD files,

■ designing support structures,

■ facilitating process planning controlling the AM printing process,

■ organizing and order routing within a "factory" of multiple printer brands and types, and

■ shipping of the finished product through to the customer.

Customers In 3D printing Software, we do not see an issue from customer consolidation, with the top ten customers in 2013 accounting for just 13% of revenues. In our view, this is not at a level at which we see a material risk of volume or price declines from key customers implementing bargaining power. Key customers include BMW, Toyota, Airbus, Boeing, and MobeLife. The software is sold either directly to the end user of the 3D printers (industrial companies) or it is sold with 3D printers produced by OEMs. (See Exhibit 30.) Service bureaus are 3D print production lines that use Materialise software to print products for industrial companies. We view it as an advantage that Materialise serves all of the large players with software (systems partners include almost all 3D OEMs such as DDD, SSYS, XONE, and EOS) because, as shown in Exhibit 31, market shares remain volatile and the industry structure is likely to change again in the future owing to technological advances.

Sales Forecasts Our 3D Printing Software forecasts reflect our view that revenues will likely grow just shy of the total industry through 2016. We currently model average annual growth of ~27% in 2014-16, slightly below the 3D OEM total company organic growth guidance of 30%+. For context, revenues increased 30% in Q114.

Key to greater adoption of AM is the transition from a focus on prototypes and small production runs to volume production. This in particular drives 3D printing software that organizes and integrates a "factory" of multiple printer types and brands in which throughput is much more important relative to prototyping applications.

Exhibit 34: Recent OEM Commentary for On-Demand Production Parts Company Date Commentary SSYS March 3, 2014 ...revenue driven by demand for large and complex production parts SSYS March 3, 2014 Hardware driven by production demand for Production Series printers DDD February 28, 2014 Increasing demand for direct metal printers for industrial-grade production Source: Company data, Credit Suisse estimates.

Historically, the additive manufacturing market has been skewed towards plastic, with metal accounting for just 10% of total revenue. Looking ahead, we believe that the potential for the metals market is significant, and could deliver a growth rate above that of plastic. The key to greater adoption is the reduction in overall production costs, with production speed being a key driver of this. Metal AM equipment providers such as Arcam and SLM Solutions continue to introduce new machines with increasing rates of build speed. We think these metal printers are very likely to enter a factory / production environment and therefore increase the probability of metal customer demand for more advanced software such as that offered by MTLS.

Growth Drivers

■ 3D Printing Software Revenue Growth Correlated to 3D Printing System Sales The demand for Materialise's 3D printing software, which allows interface with virtually all 3D printers, is likely to grow as sales of 3D printing systems (particularly for professional use) continue to grow. Looking ahead, we believe that an increasing level of parts in the automotive, aerospace, and industrial markets will be 3D printed. This would drive a growth in 3D printer demand and likely software would track this growth. Printed Parts have grown their share of the additive manufacturing market to 35% in 2013.

■ Software Key in Integrating Increasingly Complex 3D Printing Setups

Materialise (MTLS) 20 21 July 2014

The industry is shifting toward 3D operations running a more complex mix of machines from different OEMs. To facilitate this, we believe there will be an increasing shift in focus toward software to integrate machines and designs. Materialise continues to invest in R&D to further compatibility with almost all 3D printers on the market, which is a key competitive advantage.

■ Asia Focus Materialise will continue to invest in sales and marketing to increase software utilization across its customers global production footprints. We believe that Asia is currently a region where MTLS is underrepresented, with customers and looking to expand.

Profit Forecasts 3D Printing Software margins increased in 2013, benefitting from strong revenue growth driving better overhead absorption and improved operational gearing. While we forecast strong EBITDA growth, R&D investment will mean EBITDA margins decline through 2016. We believe that operational leverage should begin to return in 2016+ following heavy growth investment. We see no reason why historical margins (like the ~38% in 2013 and 42% in Q114) are not achievable after that point.

Competition

Direct Competition Autodesk, Dassault Systems, PTC, and netfabb are the most direct competitors. Materialise's advantage is that it creates an open system compatible with almost all types of 3D printers. We think netfabb is the only one of these competitors with a similar focus, but this player is significantly smaller. Netfabb states on its Web site that a key feature of its software is to "view files on various triangulated formats as well as on most CAD formats". The key differentiating factor in its software is that Materialise offers open systems that can link 3D printers from a number of OEMs. (The only other competitor to do this is netfabb.) Other 3D printer producers that also produce software focus on closed systems that only serve their products.

Materialise (MTLS) 21 21 July 2014

Indirect Competition Software is also manufactured by 3D printing OEMs. These OEMs often produce more 'closed eco-systems' that are only focused only on their own machines, rather than integrating multiple brands and printer hardware types. 3D systems is as an example of an OEM targeting a closed eco-system approach to software sold with their machines. Other challenges include system manufacturers bundling their own software solutions with their system sales (and tailored to the customer's needs) and therefore removing the need for an independent software offering. The Threat of Free Software Within 3D printing software, barriers to entry for new competitors are coming down, as evidenced by the availability of devices with increased performance at progressively lower prices. Furthermore, certain open-source software applications are being offered free of charge or for a nominal fee, as evidenced by the recent launch of a free open-source software platform by Autodesk.

Materialise (MTLS) 22 21 July 2014 Medical Segment (40% of Sales) We see Medical as one of the largest opportunities for accelerated growth in the 3D printing space. DDD, for instance, has highlighted that health care is its fastest-growing end market, growing organic revenues at 40%+ per year. MTLS produces both physical custom medical devices and software for (a) making custom devices and (b) helping doctors plan surgeries prior to an operation. There are still relatively few medical devices that are 3D printed (primarily surgical guides); however, we expect the applications to expand greatly in coming years, particularly as the FDA approves a broader use of these devices. Medical segment sales are divided into two primary categories.

■ Clinical Services (We Estimate 50% of Medical Revenues): Analysis of 3D medical images of patients, providing doctors with virtual surgical planning and also the 3D printing of surgical guides that uniquely fit a specific patient.

■ Medical Software (We Estimate 50% of Medical Revenues): Medical image-based analysis, allowing 3D models to be segmented accurately from medical image data (CT or MRI scans). Products Exhibit 39 shows the key services and software provided by type. In clinical services, the key revenue-generating product is surgical guides for knee implants, and Mimics is the key revenue driver in software. Materialise sell guides that are distributed under the brands of large medical device names (e.g., Zimmer).

Additionally, in Clinical Services, Materialise has its Mobelife (implants for complex fractures of joint reconstruction) and OBL (facial titanium inserts) offerings. These products have gained traction with key opinion leaders and will see increased investment going forward. Revenue is generated from software and medical devices. Within Clinical Services, (1) compensation structures vary and include upfront fees, royalties, and milestone payments; and (2) some of the products / software have exclusive licenses, with customers having first refusal on future development.

Exhibit 43 outlines how Clinical Services operates. Doctors provide 3D medical images of patients through Materialise's SurgiCase software. Materialise's clinical engineers turn these in to virtual surgery plans. These engineers have the benefit of historical data when looking at options (evidence-based medicine). These are viewed by doctors to run scenarios on surgical procedures. Based on the images, Materialise then prints 3D guides that are distributed under the name of their collaborative partners (e.g., Zimmer), along with the partner-produced implant. These guides improve accuracy during surgery (guides sit on the skin at the start of operations to accurately guide the surgeon on where planned incisions are). Medical Software The key product is the Mimics software, which segments medical images from CT and MRI scans for highly accurate models of patients anatomy for use in 3D printing. These files can then be converted in to the 3-Matics software, which is used to design patient-specific implants of surgical guides.

Materialise (MTLS) 25 21 July 2014

Exhibit 44: Functionality of Flagship Medical Software Product—Mimics

Source: Company data, Credit Suisse estimates.

Revenue is generated via three methods in software:

■ Software Licenses: These are either on a time basis or a perpetual basis);

■ Maintenance Contracts: These give updates on existing installed software; and

■ Custom Software Development Services: These are charged either on a time and material or on a fixed-cost basis. In term of the licenses Materialise is currently in the process of transitioning a portion of customers to a time based (annual) software license from them previously having perpetual licenses. At the end of FY13 Materialise had an installed base of >2,000 medical software licenses to over 1,200 customers.

Customers Clinical Services Customers Biomet, DJO surgical, Synthes, and Zimmer account for ~64% of Medical segment sales. (See Exhibit 45.) Materialise sells a combination of guides and software to these customers. We estimate that, of the 64% of sales to these customers, the split is 40% guides and 24% software. Despite the high level of customer consolidation, we believe Materialise has a degree of protection from bargaining power. This is due to (1) the value-added clinical engineers; (2) the benefits of their historical data on guides and implants, which benefits the surgical planning procedure; and (3) the SurgiCase Connect software tool. One customer risk is that a very high proportion of surgical guide revenues are derived from knee implant surgery. Key medical device players and customers of Materialise (e.g., Zimmer) have now launched their own surgical knee guides approved by the FDA. A further customer risk is that, on April 24, 2014, Zimmer agreed to buy Biomet for $13bn, further consolidating Materialise's customer base. In the near term, this is likely to result in lower combined sales of Medical guides to these two customers. Materialise has already acknowledged there are reports of lower activity among Biomet sales representatives since the deal was announced.

As of April 2014, Materialise adopted a new model whereby, except for research and academic centers, medical software will only be offered through time-based licenses (and no longer on a perpetual basis). While over the longer term this is likely to be beneficial to revenue, over the short term, it will provide a headwind as the transition is implemented, and the cost of an annual software license is just 40% of a perpetual license. Over the short term, growth for Materialise's Medical business is likely to be below the market average as Zimmer acquires Biomet. Both are key customers for Materialise, with the deal expected to close in Q1 2015. Ahead of this date, we see scope for disruption (particularly at Biomet), as uncertainty likely persists over how Zimmer will structure sales synergies from the deal. Over the long term, however, we think that MTLS is well positioned with customers that represent the vast majority of market share in key areas such as hips and knees.

Sales Forecasts While we believe that the long-term prospects for Medical are quite strong, our current estimates reflect the risk of competition from medical device producers as well as decreased near-term revenues while consolidation runs its course and the temporary impact moving customers to annual licenses from perpetual. We forecast ~9% growth CAGR in 2014-16E. We see scope for the rate of revenue growth to be less in 2014 (and 2015). We think that 2014 will be the worst hit year, given the expected closing of Biomet is not until Q115. After this closing, we assume some modest uptick in FY15 from the resumption of normalizing medical device manufacturer operations. We note also that almost all MTLS medical hardware is surgical guides (~90%+); thus, we see substantial scope for upside potential to sales forecasts if medical device manufacturers diversify substantively into other types of devices highlighted earlier in this note.

Medical Revenue Growth to See Short-Term Impact from Customer Merger and Change in Contract Structure Materialise's medical software is modular, with some modules licensed out as a perpetual license (which include a maintenance scheme), while the newer modules are licensed on an annual basis. The switch to an annual basis yields more long-term revenues but less up front, and thus is a temporary hit. Revenue from new annual and perpetual licenses grew 16% YoY in 2013 A key revenue driver comes from collaboration partnerships with medical device companies (particularly Biomet, DJO Surgical, Synthes, and Zimmer) that utilize Materialise's medical image-based analysis and engineering to provide the most effective solutions and the accompanying medical devices (mostly AM printed surgical guides) to facilitate medical implants predominantly for the orthopedic market.

Growth Drivers

■ Medical Market Moving Toward Patient-Specific Devices (Both Custom Procedural Tools and Implants) There is a trend toward patient-specific medicine focusing on solutions for individuals depending on shape, size, and lifestyle. Increasing use of surgical guides feeds into this trend. Materialise is well placed to benefit from this. Previously, the company has focused on guides for knee implants but now have expanded to shoulder and hip guides. Materialise's OBL and Mobelife applications for knee implants and rare conditions should also gain further traction against this backdrop of increasing focus on patient-specific solutions. These Materialise products are currently supported by academics but do not currently have widespread commercial use.

■ Increasing Focus on Using Software to Plan Surgeries (and Reduce Doctor Error) With medical procedures becoming increasingly complex, there is increasing focus to customize patient care and minimize invasive surgery. In-depth analysis of medical images using dedicated software and engineering expertise is becoming increasingly important for surgical preparation and the selection of appropriate medical instruments and devices. In conjunction, regulatory authorities and third-party payers particularly in the U.S. are increasingly stressing the need for evidence-based medicine, thereby escalating the need for images and associated medical research.

■ Continued Product Launches and Ongoing Product Innovation (X-Ray Conversion) Within medical software, innovation remains a key focus. An example of this is the current investment in software that can produce 3D printable models from X-ray images. (The current software uses MRI or CT images.) Given the widespread use of X-rays versus MRI and CT, we view this as a significant midterm opportunity for Materialise (software to be launched in 2014).

■ Surgical Guides for Other Procedures Besides Knee Implants The growth over the last two years has primarily been driven from surgical guides associated with the knee implant business. A surgical guide is a 3D printed patient-specific

Materialise (MTLS) 29 21 July 2014 mold with holes that sits on the skin or bone to guide incisions made during an implant operation. Materialise has recently developed solutions for additional joints and has recently launched guides for shoulders and hips

■ Medical Software Mimics has been the key product driving growth. Increasingly, the medical industry has focused on creating highly accurate 3D models of patient's anatomy to analyze future functionality of implants (i.e., how an individual's lifestyle and potential impact on joints and bone may affect the fitting and durability of an implant).

■ Expansion of Distribution Channels MTLS will invest significantly in its distribution channels, which will benefit the software side of the business. The strategy is to not only target the doctors but also universities, so future doctors are comfortable with the software from an early stage.

■ Geographical Expansion Asia is seen as an opportunity. Hub offices have been set up in China, Japan, and Malaysia, and relationships have been formed with opinion formers in medicine.

Profit Forecasts Medical EBITDA Margin Over 2011-13, the divisional EBITDA margin has averaged 18%. However, the level in 2013 was below the average, as MTLS continued investment in the business. Looking ahead, we expect to see margin contraction in the near term as R&D investment continues. For 2014-16, we forecast this trend to continue, with divisional margins falling to 12.0% in 2016; after this point, we see scope for a strong snap back to the 20%+ level, especially if software share of sales increases.

■ Improving Software / Hardware Mix Should Benefit Margins The Medical Software segment is growing far more rapidly than the Clinical Services business. This should imply positive earnings momentum, given broadly (much) higher margins for software versus hardware at MTLS.

Materialise (MTLS) 30 21 July 2014

If production does shift in-house for device manufacturers, this creates a large software opportunity for MTLS in both the Medical and 3D Printing Software segments to manage a "factory" floor of medical device printers (with strict FDA requirements such as time stamping for each device). This shift could be a source of major long-term upside, driving revenues in two MTLS segments and yielding improved mix, with a significantly larger contribution from higher-margin software.

Competition Clinical Services Within this segment, Materialise compete with (1) companies that provide 3D printed surgical models or medical devices such as Medical Modelling, and (2) medical device companies (Zimmer, Biomet, DJO surgical, Synthes) that are developing in-house capacity to produce medical devices (e.g., surgical guides). We believe the greatest risk is the in-house development of Medical guides from Materialise's customers although current capacity constraints for Zimmer make this a longer-term risk. Furthermore, Zimmer still needs to access Materialise's SurgiCase Connect tool (software through which doctors upload images that starts off the surgical guides production process). This reliance on Materialise's software lowers the risk of a significant sudden revenue decline. Medical Software Key competitors are 3mensia, SimpleWare, and WITHINlab. There is limited information on these competitors; however, in Exhibit 55, we show a brief description and recent news. Both SimpleWare and WITHINlab are targeting international expansion and SimpleWare in Asia.

Materialise (MTLS) 32 21 July 2014 Industrial Production (40% of Sales) In its Industrial Production segment, MTLS uses 3D printers to manufacture end-use parts and prototypes for customers. This is typically referred to as a "service bureau" business model. Within the Industrial Production segment, there are two contributing lines of business:

■ Additive Manufacturing Solutions (89% of Segment Revenue): 3D printing services for industrial customers; and

■ Growth Units (11% of Segment Revenue): RapidFit (fixtures for automotive used in quality testing), and i-materialise (consumers design and upload their own products to be printed, or buy other customer designs) The latter two businesses collectively referred to as the "growth units" are currently loss making due to investment. For FY13 Industrial Production printed >394,000 AM parts and >48,000 parts through vacuum casting for >2,600 customers including Johnson Controls, Jaguar Land Rover, Philips, and Siemens. Capacity for part manufacture is determined by the number of machines, with Materialise increasing its installed base of AM printers from 92 at the end of 2012 to 109 at the end of 2013. Products The key offerings are 3D prototypes and finished parts for customers via Additive Manufacturing Solutions. RapidFit and i-materialise, produce fixtures for Automotive applications (RapidFit) and 3D prints of consumer uploaded designs (i-materialise), respectively.

In Exhibit 57, we show an example of a car bumper prototype printed by MTLS's propriety Mammoth printer that it has developed in-house. The Mammoth is unique due to the size of the products that it can print. In Exhibit 58, we show an example of automotive fixture that is sold through RapidFit. This is a growing business and allows the fit of products produced to by auto suppliers to be quality checked. These can also be used in product development, as fixtures can be printed according to different design specifications.

The key differentiating factors of Materialise's 3D printing service are:

■ The size of printers and the prototypes and parts that it can produce via Mammoth stereolithography printers (e.g., full car bumpers); and

■ The speed and variety in which parts can be produced, with Materialise operating the largest single 3D printing site in the world (Belgium) with six different printing technologies. (See Exhibit 59.) Materialise's aim is to further increase its capacity from the current 109 printers. This has also been an area of investment in 2012-2013, when capacity increased from 92 printers at the end of 2012. The company uses a range of raw materials in its production process, but the primarily materials are epoxy-based photo-curable resins, PA12 based powders, and a suite of thermoplastic filaments like ABS and Ultem.

Growth Businesses RapidFit This business provides the automotive market with highly customized, highly precise, and in certain cases patent-protected measurement and fixing tools.

What Does It Produce? It primarily 3D prints automotive fixtures that are used to test that car parts (e.g., bumpers) produced on the automotive production line are to the correct specification. It also 3D prints fixtures that can be used in product development to allow for parts to be fitted (or removed) more quickly on future models.

What Is the Competitive Edge? The 3D printed designs allows for fixture design to be more flexible than traditional fixture methods currently used (e.g., Welding). We think RapidFit will grow organically (driven by the number of new model designs rather than by automotive production). Acquisitions will also likely be a growth driver, as this is a

Materialise (MTLS) 35 21 July 2014 fragmented market. In September 2013, the company acquired a local tool shop in Detroit in this business. i.materialise This is the second of the growth businesses and allows online users to upload their own designs and produce their own 3D products. There is also an online shop on which users can buy prints from a catalogue of designs, with a high-end 3D product offering from designer MGX.

What Does It Produce? Customer designs are primarily of jewelry and other smaller consumer items, and the user can choose from various materials / finishes. However, MGX products include larger household products such as furniture and lamps.

What Is the Competitive Edge? I-materialise was featured in Wired magazine in 2013 as standing out from competitors as users can view and scale files and choose a wide range of materials, and it also had excellent customer service. I-materialise products appear to be more expensive than competitors but of a higher quality. Revenues nearly doubled in 2013, and the strategy now is to focus on the home professional market and, in terms of regions, increase its presence in the United States. A further source of growth can come from the i-materialise app, which should allow more regular access, as 60% of orders received currently are repeat orders from existing customers.

Customers Customers are primarily large industrial companies. (See Exhibit 60.) At the end of 2013, in this segment, Materialise had 2,600 customers, and the top ten customers in this segment accounted for ~18% of revenues. We think there is a trend among MTLS customers to purchase 3D printing capacity once customer orders have reached a certain volume. At this point, MTLS can provide software for these products as well as offering capacity for spillover (i.e., customer production in excess of their installed capacity) or specialty orders that customers do not have the breadth of printer technology to fulfill (such as very large build volume). Within the RapidFit business, the key customers are Tier 1 automotive suppliers. (We estimate ~2-3, but we believe a greater number are currently studying the advantages of using RapidFit technology.)

Materialise (MTLS) 38 21 July 2014

Growth Drivers Over the last three years, there has been increased use of additive manufacturing for prototyping. We believe Aerospace and Automotive have been the key industries driving this growth. Going forward, we believe a significant key growth driver will shift to printing parts, rather than prototypes. Printed parts currently account for 20% of revenues, and this could rise to ~50% by the end of 2015 in our view.

■ Increased 3D Printing of Manufactured Parts (Capacity Additions) Since 2003, direct 3D printed parts has risen as a percentage of the total market from 4% in 2003 to 35% in 2013. We believe this share will continue to increase as further applications are found for 3D printed parts in Industry and drive demand for Materialise's AM solutions. To meet this demand, Materialise will invest part of the IPO proceeds, adding production lines of 3D printers.

■ Investment in Sales Teams Knowledge of 3D printed parts applications in Industry is relatively specialized, and we believe Materialise benefits from its 21 specialized sales managers. In our view, having specialized sales people close to decision makers in large industrial organizations will be key in developing solutions with customers.

■ Further Expansion of Growth Businesses RapidFit & i-materialise Currently, these businesses account for €3mn of revenues (4% of group) but have grown at a CAGR of 35% over the last three years versus the group at 16%. RapidFit There is scope for organic growth as Tier 1 suppliers further integrate 3D printed fixtures but there is also an opportunity for acquisitions in this fragmented industry. This is one of the primary areas we believe management will look to acquire post raising funds. I-materialise We believe that it provides interesting optionality on the longer-term trend of consumers adopting 3D products, but the initial focus is on home professionals.

Profitability Since 2011, earnings have been relatively depressed for the Industrial Profit segment as the company invests in growth initiatives. If you parse out the underlying EBITDA margin of the Additive manufacturing solutions business (~90% of segment sales), it was 14.6% in 2013. The EBITDA of the growth businesses (RapidFit and i-materialise) in 2013 was a €2.5 million loss, creating a large overall margin drag. Management believes this business will break even by the end of 2015. The ramp in our EBITDA margin forecasts is largely attributable to the reversal of losses in the Growth Units. We assume modest margin improvement in the underlying business from leverage and production part mix impact.

Materialise (MTLS) 41 21 July 2014

Key Items ■ Prototypes Are Currently Experiencing Pricing Pressure While pricing in 3D parts for Industry is more stable, prototypes are seeing price deflation. We believe parts' revenue share will increase in this business, which should positively affect margins for Additive Manufacturing Solutions. Margins declined in 2012 because of a dependence on the automotive prototype market, whereas Materialise saw pricing pressure in 2012.

■ Positive Impact from Shift to Increasing Share of Production Parts Currently 80% of 3D prints are for prototypes in Industry, while 20% are for Industrial parts. This is continuing to shift, and we believe that, by the end of 2015, this will be closer to 50% / 50% prototypes / parts. After Q1, management highlighted positive trends in this regard.

■ Breakeven Targeted for the Growth Units If the growth units can earn margins in line with the underlying majority of segment sales, we should see significant margin upside to current estimates.

Materialise (MTLS) 42 21 July 2014

Competition The primary competitors in the Industrial Production segment are listed in Exhibit 72. We believe that, in Additive Manufacturing Solutions, Materialise is well positioned because of:

■ Their software knowhow, which improves the efficiency of its processes;

■ Mammoth printing capacity, which is unique because of its size; and

■ It's favoring of open-systems vs. closed (e.g., 3D systems), which results in a wide knowledge and offering of solutions for customers.

Materialise (MTLS) 47 21 July 2014 Risks

■ On-demand printing could to be taken in-house as major Industrial companies invest independently in additional 3D printing capacity

■ Medical device manufacturers investing in AM capability, increasing the competitive threat for Medical

■ Performance in Medical could be further affected from a merger of key customers and transition in the structure of medical licenses

■ A further customer risk is that, on April 24, 2014, Zimmer agreed to buy Biomet for $13bn, further consolidating Materialise's customer base. In the near term, this is likely to result in lower combined sales of Medical guides to these two customers. Materialise has already acknowledged there are reports of lower activity among Biomet sales representatives since the deal was announced.

■ On-demand parts capability is under-exposed to metal and could face competition entering that marketplace

■ Customer risks include a very high proportion of surgical guide revenues being derived from knee implant surgery.

■ Key medical device players and customers of Materialise (e.g., Zimmer) have now launched their own surgical knee guides approved by the FDA.

■ Materialise operates key software research and development and engineering centers in both Malaysia and Ukraine. In Malaysia, the government may exercise substantial control over certain sectors of the economy through regulation and state ownership.

■ In Ukraine, the political situation could provide an ongoing potential risk. While operations are yet to be affected in Ukraine and Materialise does have a contingency plan, it is currently an important software development center employing ~240 people. Employees based in Ukraine have already asked to be relocated to other Materialise facilities outside the country (including Belgium, Malaysia, and China).

Materialise (MTLS) 48 21 July 2014 Key Shareholders & Proceeds Key Shareholders In Exhibit 80, we list the major shareholders of Materialise. As can be seen from the table, the founders still hold 86% of the company.

Proceeds / Structure Exhibit 81 outlines the primary proceeds to be raised from the IPO and the use of these proceeds, which will be split across four separate objectives.

Exhibit 81: Materialise Proceeds Structure and Use Offer size Primary issuance to generate €100m

Use of primary proceeds

1. Expand 3D printing capacity €10-20m 2. Increase worldwide sales and marketing teams €5-10m 3. Fund additional R&D €5-10m 4. General corporate purposes Remaining proceeds Source: Company data, Credit Suisse estimates. 1. Expand AM Printing Service Center Capacity This includes the addition of new printers and additional technologies, as well as software development and engineering centers. This should help alleviate current capacity constraints (facilities running at close to 90% for certain technologies) as well as capitalize on economies of scale and to address certain new applications for customers. Increased capacity in software development and engineering centers would help underpin future innovation for both industrial and medical markets. 2. Increase Sales and Marketing Teams Worldwide Areas of focus will include 3D Printing Software, for which MTLS intends to bring teams closer to their customer base worldwide, which would require investments in the expansion of marketing and sales (particularly South America and China), and in the Medical segment, where the company intends to invest in the expansion of the distribution channels for Clinical Services (Japan, Malaysia, and China). In Industrial Production, investment will be reinforcing the position in Italy and Spain and building up the presence in the USA, which is currently at a low level.

Materialise (MTLS) 49 21 July 2014

3. Fund Additional Research and Development Activities We expect R&D to remain at c15% of group sales over the short to medium term. With barriers to entry into segments such as printing software declining, R&D investment remains key to continue innovation and drive future revenue growth. 4. Remainder Is for General Corporate Purposes This includes potential acquisitions or partnerships. Areas of interest include expanding MTLS exposure within the Japanese medical market.

Price Target: (12 months) for Materialise (MTLS.OQ) Method: Our $15 target price for Materialise is an average of DCF (discounted cash flow) which yields $15, and peer EV/Sales multiples which yields $16. Risk: We think key risks to our $15 target price for Materialise include: Price competition intensifying in 3D Printing Software as 3D OEMs and open source players focus more on file conversion software; Industrial Production could be impacted by prototyping pricing pressure from competitors as well as sales loss as more customers invest in their own printing capacity; Medical is potentially at risk from competition from device manufacturing customers as consolidation progresses and as hardware customers increase their own 3D capacity. Further challenges include Materialise's AM printing capability being underexposed to metal and the near-term revenue impact from transition to a longer-term Medical licensing model.

The price, value of and income from any of the securities or financial instruments mentioned in this report can fall as well as rise. The value of securities and financial instruments is subject to exchange rate fluctuation that may have a positive or adverse effect on the price or income of such securities or financial instruments. Investors in securities such as ADR's, the values of which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume this risk. Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in this report may have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment and, in such circumstances, you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some investments may not be readily realisable and it may be difficult to sell or realise those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed.
