Balance Sheet Highlights
As part of Nano Dimension's preparations and actual commencement of commercial shipments of its new DragonFly Pro 3D printer during 2018, the company increased its work-in-progress and finished goods inventory and ended the year with a combined inventory of more than $3 million. The company expects a portion of this inventory to convert to revenue in the ordinary course of the coming months.
Cash totaled $3,753,000 as of December 31, 2018, compared to $6,103,000 on December 31, 2017. The decrease compared to December 31, 2017 mainly reflects the proceeds received from the issuance of the company's ordinary shares in the second quarter of 2018, less the cash used in operations and the cash used for the acquisition of fixed assets during the year ended December 31, 2018. On February 2019, Nano Dimension announced the closing of a public offering of American Depositary Shares, with total gross proceeds of $12 million.
