On an adjusted EBITA (earnings before interest, taxes and amortization), Desktop Metal had a quarterly loss of $25.7 million.

For all of 2021, the company’s revenue totaled $112.4 million, up from $16.5 million in 2020. Revenue excluding the ExOne acquisition totaled $96.9 million.

The company posted a full-year loss of $240.3 million, or 92 cents a share. That included $56.6 million in charges and $25.6 million in costs related to acquisitions. That compares to a year-earlier loss of $34 million, or 22 cents.  Desktop Metal’s adjusted EBITA loss was $96.1 million.

During 2021, Desktop Metal began shipments of Production System P-50, the company’s technology for mass producing end-use metal parts. It also introduced various new lines of printers and brands.
