Active Buyers: The number of Active Buyers on the platform reached 64,851 as of September 30, 2024, up 24% from 52,382 as of September 30, 2023. This growth is driven by continued account and buyer engagement and the success of the strategy to attract new buyers.
Percentage of Revenue from Existing Accounts: For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, 97% of the company's revenue was generated from existing accounts, indicating strong repeat purchase activity and substantial revenue visibility.

Active Paying Suppliers: The number of Active Paying Suppliers on the platform was 6,762 as of September 30, 2024, down 9% from 7,415 as of September 30, 2023. The decline is primarily due to the exit from the tools and materials business and the wind down of Thomas non-core services.
New Product Launches: The company continues to expand its basket of supplier services, including advertising and marketing services and Workcenter to help suppliers optimize their productivity.
Future Outlook: The company expects to continue adding suppliers to its platform to meet the needs of buyers and remain highly competitive. The focus will be on increasing the use of existing supplier services and expanding the variety of supplier services offerings over time.
Strategic Initiatives
Xometry, Inc. has undertaken several strategic initiatives to enhance its market position and operational efficiency:
Acquisitions: The company acquired Tridi Teknoloj A.S. in January 2023 to extend its marketplace capabilities in Europe and gain access to the Turkish market. This acquisition is expected to provide synergies and expand the supplier network.
Technology Expansion: Xometry has focused on expanding its AI-enabled technology platform to drive the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, leveraging proprietary machine learning algorithms and datasets to create a sophisticated two-sided marketplace.
Operational Streamlining: The company exited its tools and materials business in the second quarter of 2023 to streamline operations and focus on core competencies.
Capital Management: Xometry issued $287.5 million in convertible senior notes due in 2027, with net proceeds of $278.2 million after debt issuance costs. These notes bear interest at 1% per annum and are convertible into cash, shares of Class A common stock, or a combination of both. The company has also been managing its stock-based compensation plans, with significant grants of restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units to employees and executives. Additionally, Xometry has been investing in capital expenditures, including $13.6 million for property and equipment in the first nine months of 2024, to support its growth initiatives.
Future Outlook: Looking ahead, Xometry plans to continue leveraging its AI-enabled technology platform to drive growth and efficiency in the manufacturing industry. The company aims to expand its supplier network and enhance its marketplace capabilities to meet the evolving needs of buyers and suppliers. Xometry also intends to focus on increasing operational efficiencies and improving margins through strategic investments and cost management. The company expects to continue its capital management activities, including potential future debt issuances or equity offerings, to support its growth initiatives and maintain financial flexibility.
Challenges and Risks
Xometry, Inc. faces several challenges and risks that could impact its business operations and financial performance:
Economic Conditions: Unfavorable conditions in the economy both in the United States and abroad may negatively affect the growth of the business and its results of operations. Macroeconomic events, fluctuations in inflation, geopolitical tensions, and economic uncertainty globally could impact the company's business and its customers' businesses.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk: The company's International operating segment generates revenue outside of the United States that is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in exchange rates can impact results of operations. For example, if the average exchange rate of Euros changed unfavorably by 10%, revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, would have decreased by 1.3%.
Inflation Risk: While inflation has not had a material effect on the business, significant inflationary pressures could harm the company's business, results of operations, and financial condition if higher costs cannot be fully offset through price increases.
Investment Risks: Investing in Xometry's Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. Potential investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the current Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q before making an investment decision.
