Materialise NV (MTLS) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

You're looking at how Materialise NV can drive more sales from its current customer base, which is the heart of market penetration. This means getting existing enterprise clients to use more Magics software licenses, for instance, or getting current hospital accounts to use more of the Medical segment services.

For the Software segment, the transition to subscription-based licensing is a key penetration driver. In the second quarter of 2025, 84% of Software sales came from recurring revenue, which was an increase from 80% in the first quarter of 2025. This shift helps lock in existing users for higher lifetime value.

The Medical segment shows strong existing customer traction. Revenue for this segment hit 33,296 kEUR in the third quarter of 2025, marking a 10.3% year-over-year growth. This contrasts with the overall consolidated revenue decline of 3.5% to 66,259 kEUR in the same period.

Driving utilization of 3D printing capacity falls under the Manufacturing segment, which has seen significant headwinds. Revenue for this segment was 22,677 kEUR in the third quarter of 2025, a drop of 17.1% compared to the third quarter of 2024. The full year 2024 revenue for Manufacturing was 106,508 kEUR. A focused digital campaign aims to reverse this trend by increasing throughput from current industrial users.

To support these efforts, Materialise NV is focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet. The net cash position stood at 67,744 kEUR as of the end of the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 6,724 kEUR since December 31, 2024. The company projects full-year revenues for 2025 to be in the range of 270,000 to 285,000 kEUR.

Here's a look at the recent segment revenue performance in thousands of Euros (kEUR):

Implementing a loyalty program for Manufacturing customers directly addresses the need to boost repeat orders and stabilize the segment, which saw its Adjusted EBITDA margin fall to (3.7)% in Q3 2025 from 2.6% in Q3 2024. The goal is to secure more consistent volume from the existing base.

Strategies to deepen penetration into existing customer bases include:

• Increase Magics software seat count within current enterprise accounts.
• Drive adoption of new Medical software features like the thoracic planning tool.
• Targeted upselling of higher-tier service contracts to existing Medical clients.
• Incentivize underutilized Manufacturing customers to increase print volume commitments.

The total deferred revenues from software maintenance and license fees were 48,870 kEUR at the end of the first quarter of 2025, showing a quarterly increase of 1,921 kEUR, which is a direct measure of success in retaining and expanding software revenue from current users.

Materialise NV (MTLS) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

You're looking at how Materialise NV can take its existing offerings-the proven Medical segment and the established software platform-into new geographic territories and industrial applications. This is Market Development, and the numbers from 2025 show where the current strength lies, which should guide where you deploy new sales efforts.

Here's a quick look at the top-line performance through the first three quarters of 2025, which sets the stage for these expansion moves:

The Medical segment is clearly the engine, showing double-digit growth across the first three quarters of 2025, hitting 18.7% in Q1 and 16.7% in Q2. This momentum supports the push into emerging Asian markets like China and India.

For China, the 'Made in China 2025' policy explicitly targets biological medicine. While specific Materialise NV revenue from China/India isn't broken out, the goal for local medical device usage in Chinese county-level hospitals was set at 70% by 2025, indicating a significant policy tailwind for medical solutions there.

To target the automotive and aerospace sectors in the US with existing certified manufacturing services, you can point to the established infrastructure. Materialise NV operates service centers in the US. Furthermore, product updates in 2025, like the release of Magics software, specifically address key challenges to advance the use of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in industries like aerospace and automotive.

Licensing the software platform to new geographic regions needs to align with the ongoing shift to recurring revenue. In Q2 2025, recurring revenue accounted for 84% of Software sales, up from 80% in Q1. This subscription focus makes licensing more attractive.

The introduction of new software tiers in November 2025 directly supports expansion into new regions and verticals:

• CO-AM Professional delivers workflow automation and traceability for high mix, low volume AM.
• CO-AM NPI accelerates New Product Introduction (NPI) workflows.
• CO-AM Enterprise is designed for scaling production across sites.
• These are powered by CO-AM Brix and the CO-AM Build Platform.

Establishing a dedicated sales team to introduce existing software to new industrial verticals, like consumer electronics, can leverage the success of the new modular framework. Materialise NV has historically served customers in the consumer electronics sector. The new Next-Generation Build Processors feature a fully open, modular framework, enabling manufacturers to integrate diverse tools and strategies into their workflows, which is a key selling point for new industrial adoption.

Materialise NV (MTLS) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at the core of Materialise NV's future growth, which is heavily weighted on launching new products and evolving existing ones, especially in software. This strategy is backed by significant investment, as seen in the fiscal year 2024 Research and development ("R&D") expenses which reached 44,400 kEUR, a notable increase of 16.5% from the 38,098 kEUR spent in 2023.

The push for new software capabilities is evident. In November 2025, Materialise NV unveiled the next phase of its open software ecosystem strategy, introducing three tailored CO-AM solutions: CO-AM Professional, CO-AM NPI, and CO-AM Enterprise. These are powered by new enabling technologies, including CO-AM Brix, which is described as a new low-code, node-based automation technology for automating and optimizing manufacturing workflows. This directly addresses the need for automated design optimization in the Manufacturing segment, building on prior automation efforts like the e-Stage software introduced in 2008 for automatic support structure generation.

The medical side is also seeing product evolution. Materialise NV has been providing personalized healthcare solutions since 1992, including titanium 3D-printed skull implants launched as far back as 2006. Today, the company reports that it recently helped 60,000 patients annually with personalized solutions, having created over 500,000+ patient-specific models, guides, and implants based on analyzing 6 million patient scans with their software. Surgeons can receive certain patient-specific implants in as few as seven business days for orbital procedures, showing enhanced product delivery speed.

The shift in monetization for software is a key product strategy change. Materialise NV is actively moving away from perpetual licenses. By May 15, 2024, the Magics software only supported subscription-based licensing for new seats or modules. This transition is reflected in the financial data, where recurrent revenue (license and maintenance fees) grew by 2.7 million EUR (or 9.1%) in the year ended December 31, 2024, while non-recurrent revenue (perpetual fees and services) decreased by 3.2 million EUR (or 21.9%). The success of this transition is also visible in the balance sheet, with total deferred revenues from software maintenance and license fees increasing by 1,921 kEUR in the first quarter of 2025, reaching 48,870 kEUR.

To accelerate the development of specialized tools, Materialise NV has been actively expanding its ecosystem through partnerships. For instance, they expanded their ecosystem through collaborations with Ansys, nTop, and EOS in June 2024, and with Raplas and One Click Metal in April 2025, which included announcing Next-Generation Build Processors.

Here's a look at how the Software segment revenue is tracking during this strategic shift:

The Product Development focus is clearly driving investment, though the immediate impact on the Software segment revenue has been negative as the transition occurs. The Materialise Medical segment, however, shows strong product traction, growing 14.8% in FY 2024 and showing 18.7% growth in Q1 2025 and 16.7% growth in Q2 2025.

The investment in R&D relative to the segment performance is summarized below:

• R&D Expenses (FY 2024): 44,400 kEUR.
• FY 2024 Materialise Software Revenue: 43,899 kEUR.
• FY 2024 Materialise Medical Revenue: 116,358 kEUR.
• Gross Profit Margin (FY 2024): 56.5%.
• Gross Profit Margin (Q2 2025): 58.3%.

The company is clearly prioritizing future recurring revenue streams, which often depresses short-term top-line figures for the segment undergoing transition. The decrease in Software segment Adjusted EBITDA margin to 12.7% in 2024 from 16.8% in 2023 is explicitly linked to further investing in R&D expenses and this cloud/subscription transition.

Materialise NV (MTLS) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how Materialise NV can expand beyond its current strongholds, which is smart given the mixed signals from the market. The Medical segment is clearly carrying the load, posting a 10.3% revenue increase in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024, while the Manufacturing segment revenue fell 17.1% to 22,677 kEUR in Q3 2025. This divergence shows where the immediate growth is and where new markets are needed.

Acquire a company specializing in post-processing automation to offer a complete, end-to-end manufacturing solution.

This is a classic diversification play, moving into a related but distinct part of the value chain. Materialise NV has made capital explicitly available for this. As of June 30, 2025, the company held 116,712 kEUR in cash and cash equivalents, resulting in a net cash position of 63,045 kEUR. Furthermore, the CFO confirmed drawing €20 million from a €50 million loan facility specifically to position capital for potential acquisitions (M&A) or capital expenditures. The last known acquisition was FEops in July 2024, showing a history of inorganic growth to bolster capabilities.

Enter the industrial robotics market by integrating Materialise NV's control software into new hardware offerings.

Materialise NV is actively building out its software ecosystem to support broader industrialization, which naturally leads toward integrating with other automation hardware like robotics. In November 2025, the company unveiled new CO-AM solutions: CO-AM Professional, CO-AM NPI, and CO-AM Enterprise. These are powered by CO-AM Brix and CO-AM Build Platform. This move is supported by a July 2025 partnership with Synera to integrate the Magics SDK into an AI-driven design platform, targeting end-to-end workflow automation. The Software segment revenue in Q3 2025 was 10,286 kEUR, so expanding its reach via new hardware partnerships could significantly boost this area, which saw a 7.4% revenue decrease year-over-year in Q3 2025.

Develop a new line of sustainable, bio-based 3D printing materials for the consumer goods market.

While the Medical segment is thriving, the Manufacturing segment, which serves industrial and potentially consumer goods clients, is under pressure. Materialise NV already supports the consumer goods end-user market with its existing materials portfolio. The current materials include production-grade thermoplastics like ABS-M30 and high-performance alloys such as Titanium (Ti₆Al₄V) and Inconel (IN718). The general 3D Printing Materials Market is seeing growth driven by adoption in sectors including Consumer Goods. Developing a new line would be a product development diversification, leveraging their existing material science expertise to capture market share in the sustainability-focused consumer space.

Here's a look at the materials context Materialise NV operates within:

Launch a consulting service that helps non-3D printing companies integrate additive manufacturing into their supply chain.

This service leverages Materialise NV's three decades of experience to sell expertise, a high-margin service offering. The company already serves industries like automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods. The need for this service is underscored by the fact that the Adjusted EBIT margin for the entire company in Q3 2025 was only 4.4% of consolidated revenue, amounting to 2,918 kEUR. A dedicated consulting arm could help stabilize the volatile Manufacturing segment, which saw a negative Adjusted EBITDA of (845) kEUR in Q3 2025.

The key focus areas for such a consulting service would align with their software strengths:

• Automating file repair and support generation.
• Ensuring traceability for high-mix, low-volume production.
• Integrating the Next-Generation Build Processor framework.
• Reducing build failures and enhancing part quality.

The full year 2025 revenue guidance for Materialise NV is between 270,000 kEUR and 280,000 kEUR. A successful consulting push could help secure the high end of that range, or better. Finance: draft the projected revenue contribution from a new consulting service line for Q4 2025 by next Tuesday.
