"We are pleased with the progress made in 2016, evidenced by solid growth in machine revenue. While expected recognition of revenue on certain machines slipped from the 2016 fourth quarter into 2017, we are not discouraged by the comparison to a strong 2015 fourth quarter. We have made a considerable effort to understand in what stage of adoption our customers are, with respect to our binder jet printing technology, and believe that 2017 marks an inflection point in our evolution. We have customers who were in the early stages of adoption two years ago and are now reaching more advanced stages, as they discover that our equipment can bring sustainable and differential value to their businesses. This encourages us about our potential for growth," stated Jim McCarley, ExOne's chief executive officer.
