J.P. Morgan 54th Annual Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference

May 19, 2026

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

All right. Good morning, good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for joining. Cory Carpenter, Internet Analyst at J.P. Morgan. Pleased to have the full Xometry team with us here today. The outgoing soon-to-be Exec Chair, Randy, the incoming CEO, Sanjeev, and CFO, James Miln. Thanks for joining us.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Thanks, Cory. Great to be here.

Sanjeev Singh Sahni
President and Incoming CEO, Xometry

Yeah, great to be here.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

All right, I'll sprinkle questions across the group. To start, I think, Randy, for you, just to level set for everyone on the line and in the room, just maybe start off with a high-level overview of the business and the problem that Xometry's solving.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Xometry is the leading AI-native marketplace for custom manufacturing. Custom manufacturing is a huge industry, hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars, heavily fragmented with millions of buyers and millions of suppliers, and has largely been undigitized. It's been manual and offline. We created a marketplace to bring together buyers and suppliers, and we use AI to create pricing for both buyers and suppliers and to optimize the match. I co-founded the company in 2013. We've been growing rapidly. J.P. Morgan helped take us public in 2021. We had, you know, things were going great, and we had an accelerated growth in our last quarter.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

Great. Sanjeev, maybe for you're getting set to take over the CEO role, I think, in a few weeks. Obviously, you've been at the company for a while. Before we dive into the business, thought it'd be helpful just for investors to hear a bit on your background and your priorities as incoming CEO.

Sanjeev Singh Sahni
President and Incoming CEO, Xometry

Sure. Thank you. I joined early last year. I came in with most of my experience around scaling larger high-growth opportunities in companies that are around the e-commerce topic and are around logistics and supply chain, with experience at Wayfair and McKinsey being the two prominent ones. To me, we've said this before, the destination's not changing, the person on the seat is changing as far as the CEO transition is considered. Our priorities that we've actually been talking about for a good part of last year around product-led growth, around making sure that we continue to deepen our data and AI moat, continuing to drive category and enterprise experiences, and then international growth, they all remain the same.

I think we are continuing to make sure that the momentum on all of those areas, continues to pick up, and we have, more opportunities to deliver.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

Randy, you alluded to this in your first answer, just, you know, the manufacturing industry, it's obviously massive. You, I think you said hundreds of billions, but maybe put a finer point on that. How do you think about the addressable market and just where the industry's at in terms of online penetration?

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Yeah. I think you take a step back in manufacturing, we put it into sort of two big, maybe three big buckets. One bucket is contract manufacturing, that's when you're making millions and millions of something. That is a very efficient low-margin industry, mature industry. The second would be off-the-shelf parts, common parts that you'd buy. That's also where you see e-commerce players like a Grainger or Fastenal, folks like that, MSCs of the world. You have the custom parts. Think about a aerospace company, a medical device company, a robotics company that's making parts that are specific for their product. That's also a huge industry. Because it's custom manufacturing, it's not a commoditized product, it has turned into a very fragmented industry, with every manufacturer being good at a very specific thing.

The long tail of the internet hasn't really touched custom manufacturing because it's hard to figure out who's good at what and who is the right person to choose at a given time. Because of this, it has remained offline. What is the choice? What does the customer usually do? They go to their local manufacturer, or they go to the manufacturer who they know. That may not be the best manufacturer for that particular order, but that's all they know. The supplier lives and dies with their local customers. If you're, you know, in Houston, Texas, you're gonna be about oil and gas, or if you're in Southfield, Michigan, you're gonna be about automotive.

Even if there's a great aerospace customer in Southern California who's desperate for your, for your capacity and your capabilities, you wouldn't know about that because this is custom. That's where AI is so important, to bring it together. You know, we'll talk about this later on, our proprietary algorithms and data, and that's enabling us to actually then create a lot more efficiency and transparency for both the buyer and the supplier. It's one of these rare marketplaces where it's a win for both sides.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

A lot of disruption in the supply chains globally in recent years, tariffs, geopolitical conflicts. How is that, you know, impacting or is that accelerating the shift to digital? You know, how is that impacting buyer behavior in your business?

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

So what's interesting is over the last couple of years, it's changed just recently, but manufacturing has been in decline. Like, the overall market has declined. Again, just to put that in perspective, it is a huge market. Cory, I didn't quite answer your question before about how, what percentage of the market is digitized. Very small portion of it in terms of the supply chain. We've still been growing at a very robust rate because we're taking market share as people understand that digital makes a lot of sense. When you think about our customers, they're buying so many other things digitally, that of course manufacturing should be the same way.

When you see all these supply chain shocks, whether it's, you know, COVID or it's geopolitical issues or wars, et cetera, that just reinforces for people the need to have resilient supply chains, to have ones that they can make changes. If you're sourcing in a particular part of the world and something happens there, how do I quickly switch or diversify so I can protect my end customers? Of course, Xometry being natively digital, having these supply chains in the United States but also around the world, giving customers that flexibility becomes a logical choice for them. I think it becomes a flight to, hey, where can I get the best resiliency? As we've grown as a company and matured, where is the safest choice? More and more, we're that choice.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

Just on competition, you know, I think that's a question we get a lot from investors. I mean, offline's clearly the biggest competitor still, but what does the competitive environment look like on the digital side? Just as we think longer term, you know, is the competitive intensity increasing, or is this more of a winner take all or take most type of market?

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Well.

Sanjeev Singh Sahni
President and Incoming CEO, Xometry

I can-

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

You can respond to that.

Sanjeev Singh Sahni
President and Incoming CEO, Xometry

Sure.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Yeah.

Sanjeev Singh Sahni
President and Incoming CEO, Xometry

Yeah, I can take that. I would say just to put a number on the percentage of market that's online, we believe less than 1% is. Offline fragmented job shop around the corner, that's 99% of where custom manufacturing happens today. There's a lot of headroom, we believe, for the online penetration to even get to the, you know, numbers that you typically see in e-commerce. That said, from a digital online marketplace perspective, if you look around, you'll see there's a combination of manufacturers with some online capabilities. There are some really small online marketplaces as well. The key differentiator in my mind is, you know, it happens in all network-based flywheel businesses where data is at the core, and the more data you collect, the better your flywheel works.

In our case, we've been around for over a decade, AI native from day one, so our focus was always in making sure our data was structured such that we can continue to build on that flywheel. At this point, we believe we have enough data for millions and millions of parts that we've produced, and the lead time models that we've built, we recently said that we updated our lead time models to now use 4x the data sets that we used to before. We believe that that's just going to continue to accelerate our ability to take more and more market share.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

You may have kind of answered this next question with that, with that one, but just with all the focus on AI, investors are looking at every company trying to think about what's the disruption risk. As we think about your moat, you know, why is the Xometry marketplace not something that could be like, you know, vibe coded overnight?

Sanjeev Singh Sahni
President and Incoming CEO, Xometry

Right. It's a really important question, I think one that a lot of us have answered about every possible internet business that we see out there or SaaS business. For us, if you look at the core AI models that we have, which is our pricing models, our manufacturing models, and our supplier network and how we manage that, those models are built on files provided by our customer, which is a custom part for that particular customer. Those are converted into geometric data that's based on our algorithm, that data is retained in our tooling till the manufactured product is given to the customer, it gets augmented by manufacturability information. That data, that proprietary data, sits with us. That's not something that's available on a public domain.

You can't go write, get an LLM to get you data that would convert that into a price, a price that the LLM will guarantee to manufacture that product at, you know, the margins that we deliver. Our view is very clearly what sits with us in our core AI data models is all proprietary data. You can of course write an LLM, likely it'll point you back to coming to Xometry to get it manufactured and to get it made.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

Great. Okay. Wanna talk about your partnership you announced at earnings a few weeks ago. Strategic partnership with Siemens and embed Xometry directly into Siemens Xcelerator in a couple of other things.

Could you just help us understand the scope of this partnership and how transformational you think it could be for the company?

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Go ahead.

Sanjeev Singh Sahni
President and Incoming CEO, Xometry

I can start and Randy, feel free to join in.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Of course.

Sanjeev Singh Sahni
President and Incoming CEO, Xometry

We think that partnership is completely transformative, one of a kind that we've not done ourselves before, but also nobody else has done in the market. Typically the way getting price in a design tool today, if you think about the top CAD tooling that exists out there, only three or four super large players, the way that pricing works today is that once you're done designing your file, you either mail it to a provider, the offline provider we're talking about, to get a price, or you actually download an add-on, one of them would be Xometry's, install it on your local software, and then actually try to get a price through that.

As you can imagine in today's age of cybersecurity and the confidentiality that every customer and company wants to maintain, it is generally an act of Congress to get a third-party add-on approved by your IT team to go be installed behind your firewall, right? Typically, it's not happening. What Siemens partnership that we are doing is completely changing it by converting our core AI model into a native of the software. In the future, when their design center software used by engineers for CAD tooling, when that ships, inbuilt with it would be an EXE for Xometry.

As an engineer, as you're designing your tool, you could get a price that Xometry will guarantee to manufacture it if you so wish to place your order right then, or if you plan to make four or five changes right there to see what the price change is, you get real time in the native tool feedback without having to go to your IT team to get an approval to install anything, without your file and your confidentiality ever leaving your system. This is a game changer because it just completely changes the way you get price and the way you're able to maintain security and confidentiality. Of course, that's one big thing that we're excited about in the partnership.

The other thing that we are working with them is, on the Supplyframe business that they have, which is a business in which they take the bill of materials from companies and help price those for them to show what opportunity exists to address, you know, cost in those bill of materials.

We can provide both custom part pricing in that through our, you know, custom marketplace, but we also have a services business, the Thomas business, which actually has lots of off-the-shelf partner information. We can help them with those data as points as well. One design center, two Supplyframe, and then finally the third part of that partnership is to integrate all of the information and updates straight into their PLM. Technically, the Siemens Designcenter and PLM user never really has to leave their ecosystem and still be able to get the entire value of Xometry for us. We think it's super exciting because it changes the way customers buy, but it opens up a whole new channel for us in terms of marketing and getting more customers.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

For the tech investor, I'll bucket myself in that crowd, who may be less familiar with Siemens, maybe give us a sense of, you know, their size and scope in the market, and then what is the kind of integration roadmap look like in terms of getting the product live?

James Miln
CFO, Xometry

Siemens overall is in multiple different domains. The specific business that we're speaking to here is the one that's focused on digital industry software. The aim of that digital industry software is to truly aggregate capabilities around manufacturing and design so that they have tooling from CAD design to life cycle management and the ability to actually push that orders into the manufacturer's backend. It's all around digital software.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

It's Siemens, and it's huge.

I think the leading industrial software company, you know, you're talking, you know, millions of users that use Siemens software. Just put that perspective, we're very proud of last quarter. You know, we had, you know, obviously the highest number of users we've ever had, but also a record net add quarter-over-quarter since, I think nine quarters. We're at 85,000 users. Just going back to Sanjeev's excitement and all of our excitement about this, you know, this has a chance to really be a big multiplier when you look at their install base. It's much larger than ours, and they're a big player.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

I'm actually gonna jump Randy, I think one of the questions a couple or at Q4 earnings when you announced the transition to Executive Chair is what is Randy gonna be doing?

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Right.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

I think I now know what you've been doing.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Yeah.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

I guess as we look forward, you know, where do you see potential for more You know, how much more partnership opportunities are there? Is there any sort of exclusivity element to this we should be aware of?

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Yeah. We have a very special relationship with Siemens, but that doesn't prevent us from building other relationships. We think, just as you said, Cory, I'm not riding up in the sunset. I'm the Executive Chairman. You know, I'm still very, very engaged with Xometry. Obviously, Sanjeev is running the business as our CEO. There are lots of other partnership opportunities, lots of other places around the ecosystem, and we are actively working on that. You know, we think that Xometry has the opportunity to become that rail that's connecting buyers and suppliers, that's helping in this digitization, getting to that final part of that digital thread to actual procurement and delivery, and there's lots of players in there.

We think there's lots of opportunities to build those and as I said, we are working on those.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

That's where you're spending your time.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

That's where I'm spending my time.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

Marketplace revenue, it's accelerating, accelerated 3 quarters in a row, I mean, in a pretty meaningful way from 20% to close to 40%. What do you attribute this to? How do you think about the sustainability of this growth trajectory?

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Even to cover his ears, but, you know, Sanjeev joined us in January of last year, and he has been running a large portion of the business ever since. I think as he talked about, you know, he brought this. This is why we wanted Sanjeev as our next CEO, this product-led growth mentality. We've really leaned into that. When you look at the number of product releases we've had, the enhancements we've made in our buyer and supplier experience, that has accelerated a pace that we never had at Xometry. Lots of marketing innovation. We've made lots of great changes. I think you're seeing proof of that, and that's why you're seeing that acceleration that's happening, been happening now quarterly. It's just the right way to go.

When you think about such a large TAM, going back to our penetration, still so small, the way to do that at scale and to accelerate is through the product. We're getting there in large part because of Sanjeev's leadership. We did bring in some other folks together with Sanjeev that he had worked with that had similar experience in scaled businesses. You know, very proud of where we've gotten with Xometry, but as we get, you know, not going quickly to $1 billion and beyond the run rate, we needed people who had been there, done that, and done $10 billion and more than that. We've got many more people in the organization now for that, and that's helping us in accelerate.

James Miln
CFO, Xometry

I'd just add like the revenue, you know, the active buyer growth we saw, you know, has been accelerating as well. That was our highest net adds, you know, for a couple of years. That's, you know, driving 20%, and that's on the back of what Randy was talking about, all the product innovation, the marketing improvements, and go-to-market. We also saw revenue per buyer grow, accelerated rate as well as 17% year-over-year. I think I'd line that up with all of the great initiatives on enterprise and all the progress we've been making there. We've, you know, penetrating more and more accounts. At the end of last year, we had more than 140 with $500,000 or more on the platform.

You know, seeing the continued acceleration both on the buyers and on the revenue per buyer, as well as then international growing at an accelerated pace too in the quarter of 42%. These are all, you know, core initiatives that we've been driving, increasingly driven by our pace of product innovation.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

Sanjeev, maybe you could talk about some of the products that you've rolled out that have, you know, had the biggest impact, and then what you can tell us about the roadmap as well.

Sanjeev Singh Sahni
President and Incoming CEO, Xometry

We continue to focus on changing the way the experiences of all of our customers are happening, right? To me, one of the fundamental beliefs of the product roadmap has been that nobody wants clunky B2B software anymore. In your B2B buying experiences, everybody now wants to have the same seamless experience of a B2B engine. Just like you and I buy on Amazon, and we feel comfortable that the experience, that we find the product easily, that the buying will be instant, and the follow-up will be super, we believe that's where all of the B2B softwares are going, and in general, the commerce experience. Everybody instantly expects it to be tomorrow. I think we are building towards that. We've had some fantastic launches.

You heard about the injection molding auto-quoting capability that we launched earlier last year, where we've now added 6 more materials. We've, you know, increased the number of quoting capabilities such that we saw 15% more quoting in that interaction. As you know, injection molding is a big, big TAM in our space. We continue to focus on driving product capabilities to drive category expansion, customer experiences, and partner experiences. Very recently we spoke about the depth of the data models that we are working on. Increasing our lead time model, having it use 4x the data points to actually drive more accuracy, but that accuracy is also leading to us launching things like one-day shipping. Now you can actually get a custom part uploaded today and have it shipped to you tomorrow.

We'll continue to drive selection, speed, and pricing through all of these new innovations that you'll see. Lots of exciting things to come.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

I want to talk about enterprise for a bit. I mean, one of the debates for years I feel like was the, you know, prototype versus largest production run. It's been less of a debate in recent quarters. The enterprise business has clearly been a growth driver for you, and the numbers you've given keep going higher in terms of, you know, how you're defining how big a customer can get. Could you just talk about what's working on the enterprise side, and how have you been able to get that deeper penetration?

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Maybe, yeah, James, why don't you give the stats, and then Sanjeev and I can give the commentary around that.

James Miln
CFO, Xometry

On the enterprises we talked about, you know, we've got Over $50,000 accounts are, you know, the top of the enterprise funnel, and that's been growing very healthily over the last few years. What we've been talking about last year and this year was those accounts over $500,000. They've been growing more than 40%. We had 100 at the end of 2024, now we've got 140 at the end of 2026. We think that all of those have the capability, have the capacity to do $10 million+, really putting out a billion-dollar-plus target that we see on enterprise in the next few years. We had at the end of last year, four of those accounts be over $10 million.

We've been making a lot of really great traction within the business.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Just to frame up those companies, as James has said, we've been raising the bar of what we consider a successful account. 50,000 when we went public, now 500,000, now we've got that $10 million bogey. People often ask, "Is $10 million a lot?" These companies are some of the biggest companies in the world. $10 million, we're proud of $10 million, it's also a sad number, as my 19-year-old would say. Like, they're a much bigger number. These are companies, some of them are spending billions of dollars on manufacturing, our slice of it, going back to the TAM, could be hundreds of millions of that.

One of the things that's been helping us on the enterprise side is, you know, first of all, we've got a great sales team there, a great sales leader. We made a change a couple years ago and really pivoted and started changing our sales team to orient more towards enterprise. There's also been a, and this is what's been critical, a lot of technology releases that we've done that have speeded up that growth. I'll mention one, then I'll hand it over to Sanjeev. We added something called Teamspace, and this enabled historically, in the beginning, Xometry was more of a one-to-one experience between one buyer and Xometry, so you're, you know, understandably gonna be buying single parts. As Xometry was growing, we were doing more assemblies.

As we were getting more enterprise customers, they were saying, "Hey, -e've got teams of people working on this. There's multiple parts involved. There's multiple assemblies. I need to have procurement. I need to have purchasing. I need to have all these different people involved." We came out with Teamspace. Since our launch, we've had thousands and thousands of teams launched, and so that's been a key software launch that's helped us grow within our enterprises. Sanjeev.

Sanjeev Singh Sahni
President and Incoming CEO, Xometry

Again, I think enterprise, as you know, is a B2B business that just doesn't shop on a website, right? You have to be present in the journey where they're actually doing their shopping. Design, Siemens is one example of that, you push that forward, integrations into ERP tooling, availability of punch-out solutions, that's been the other focus. For us, the enterprise pie is not limited to what we can get somebody to come to our site, but we are making very concentrated effort to be present in their journeys, whether it's design or procurement, and making sure that we are actually forefront in the recognition that they have there.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

I wanna come back to international. James, you called it out as a growth driver earlier. You know, maybe give us a sense of your footprint today on the international side, and then I think the Siemens partnership, you know, they're certainly a global company. How could that help with your international expansion?

James Miln
CFO, Xometry

Yeah. Enterprise grew 42% year-over-year in the first quarter, we really, you know, love that growth. We made progress getting to 100 million-plus run rate internationally faster than in the U.S. What's really exciting as well is we're seeing very similar buyer and supplier demands and expectations of what a digital marketplace needs to look like. We're seeing similar unit economics with the gross margin. We're in, you know, we have 18 different languages across Europe and Asia. We've been taking learnings from the U.S. and being able to pull those into Europe, such as Teamspace. We've also launched injection molding auto-quoting in Europe too.

These things will be much you know, help us on that journey to getting over the long term, this marketplace to be consistent with other marketplaces, sort of 30%-40% of the total revenue. Siemens is a very global company. I think a great partner for us for all the reasons we've said, but particularly from an international perspective as well. Helps on that journey of continuing to increase our awareness and our buyer penetration as we grow.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

I think the exciting thing about the international growth; it has really primarily been EMEA that's been driving that. We are now, as we've indicated, beginning to get more and more traction in Asia. I think you have, you know, obviously those markets independent could be both huge and are comparable to the United States. I think if as we're getting both of those cranking, not just EMEA, that could, to James' point, get us faster to that 30% to 40% number that we think ultimately international will be as a mix of the overall revenue of the company.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

Great. If anyone has a question, by the way, feel free to raise your hands. Otherwise, I will keep going. I think, I think this is for you, James. You raised your revenue outlook quite materially last quarter, but it does still imply a slowdown in growth in the back half of the year. Maybe you could just talk about your assumptions that are embedded in the guide-

James Miln
CFO, Xometry

Yeah

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

around macro, around Siemens, you know, are you seeing any change in demand, or how should we think about that?

James Miln
CFO, Xometry

Yeah, we had a fantastic first quarter, and it's just been, you know, seeing the acceleration over the last few quarters, and those trends have continued to remain strong into Q2. The Siemens partnership is really exciting. I think it, you know, has a lot of potential in it. It's not in our guidance, not in our numbers for 2026. I think we'll come back, you know, as the milestones are hit, you know, to update you on that as we go. As you say, Cory, we significantly raised our revenue growth. We're now looking at 27%-28% for the year from an initial look of around 21%. That's just really reflecting the robust Q1. We raised Q2. It does imply higher growth in the second half as well.

We're excited about those trends. There's nothing one-off to call out in terms of, you know, what happened last year or as we think about the year ahead. It's really about the drivers we've been talking about, the strategic drivers, the product-driven growth, the strength in enterprise and in international. I think we couldn't be more excited about the, you know, long-term opportunity here.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Yeah, I think just, you know, as we publicly said when we released earnings recently, you know, Q2 has started strong, you know, we'll look at the second half of the year as we report to Q2. We'll give updates. People can look at our history. We've been, you know I think we've been good at updating that and we've seen acceleration and so, more good things to come.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

We've talked about a few of the investor debates over the years. I think the last one we haven't hit on is marketplace gross margin. I think it's fair to say when you went public, there was probably skepticism that you'd hit your 35%-40%. Actually, I think it was lower. I think you may have raised it.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

30-35 was initially, yeah.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

Target. You're at the low end of the upwardly revised target now. My question is, you know, what's driven the expansion that you think investors may have underestimated or missed, and, you know, how should we think about the gross margin trajectory in the coming years?

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

I mean, this really is a data AI-driven solution here, and data is the key. We've got these algorithms, these proprietary algorithms. We continue to enhance those algorithms and expand those algorithms. They need data. This is custom manufacturing. What we've always explained to people is, as we get more data, we're gonna be more accurate, and that will enable us to improve those gross margins. That is, in fact, what's happened. Likewise, as we expand the size of our network, that will also help with that and be embedded deeper within our manufacturers. When you sort of see those different factors coming together, you've been seeing our gross margin improve. As you alluded to, Cory, we went public, we were at 25% in 2021.

Last year, we had almost 35% gross margin for the year, I think 34.7 or something. It's been steadily growing every year, 100 plus basis points. As we get more data, as our networks continue to expand, we expect to continue to see, you know, year-over-year improvement in those gross margins. This is again, such an inefficient market, opaque market. We have such a large opportunity. Again, it's providing value for both the buyer and the supplier. That's what makes me, I think our team so excited. We're creating so much value here for both sides that that's special. You don't see that in a lot of marketplaces or a lot of businesses, frankly.

Cory Carpenter

James, you've talked about 20% incremental margins as, like, your target as you scale to the $1 billion of revenue. Why is that the right level for the business? Is that the right level? Does that change with the Siemens partnership or as you know, scale up? You're getting close to that $1 billion dollar mark.

James Miln
CFO, Xometry

We are. Yeah, we've delivered about, you know, approximately 20% or above incremental adjusted EBITDA over the last three years. It's really a calibration that reflects, you know, a balance, the, you know, leaning into the growth as we scale the platform, thinking about initiatives like international, but preserving, but also demonstrating the scalability of the platform as we increase the gross margin and as we're able to get leverage more in OpEx. We have some segmentation between U.S. and international. I think, you know, when you break that apart, you can see how consistently we've also grown the U.S. business and seen better than 20% improvement there, while making a, you know, careful investment on the international side to scale that being at an earlier stage.

I think as we scale to $1 billion and above, I think that continued progress on U.S. scaling of international, and as we find abilities using automation, AI, in, you know, in our teams to get, you know, help us reduce our cost to serve and our cost of sales, as we scale on the journey that we've been in. I think where Siemens comes in is that, like other major initiatives, they help us tap into that TAM. As Sanjeev was talking about, we're only at 1%.

There's a lot of growth ahead of us, and as we do that, finding efficient ways to go to market and get our awareness out there, Siemens is a great example of that, where the economics should be very similar on a revenue and gross margin, but the cost to serve should be significantly lower. I think I would line that up with other major initiatives such as injection molding, international, all things that have a lot of opportunity and revenue runway ahead of them, that can help us scale profitably.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Yeah. Just to clarify, our incremental margins, contribution margins from that same business could be another accelerator of our overall profitability.

Cory Carpenter

I thought we had too many questions, but we actually have three minutes left for the last question.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Okay.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

I'm gonna Maybe this is actually for everyone. Everyone has a minute. Just, just to wrap up higher level. Maybe if you could each give the one thing, you're kind of most excited about that no one's talking about today, but you think could really be transformative for the business in the next year or three ahead.

Sanjeev Singh Sahni
President and Incoming CEO, Xometry

We gotta start.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Okay. Okay.

Sanjeev Singh Sahni
President and Incoming CEO, Xometry

I would say one of the most important things that I'm excited about is the data depth and the moat we have there. If you think about the Siemens partnership, one of the core anchors for that, in my mind, is the core AI models that we have and the proprietary data that sits there. Of all of the things that we can do with other conversations and, you know, models to launch, that data can be used to actually further increase collaborations, offerings, ability to actually drive more traction in new customers and categories. I think that to me is the, is the really cool part of our business that's not something we talk about enough.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

I'm gonna give two things. One is just, you know, I'm very excited about just going back to, you know, what we're seeing in this quarter and our overall outlook. The underlying metrics in our business are strong. Like, we're seeing broad-based growth across industries, across customer segments. This is exciting. You're just seeing more and more people coming to us, all those different metrics that build up to ultimately your revenue. I'm excited about how that trend is continuing and even accelerating.

I think the one thing that people don't understand is the journey from quoting to delivery, that is a difficult journey to conquer. We are very methodically and very smartly conquering that each step of the way and creating a digital journey, removing friction, making it easier for both the buyer and the supplier. That's a huge moat. Each part of that is not trivial, and each of that adds up to a successful delivery. I think we're doing a, you know, we're doing a great job in providing that for customers. That is a huge, going back to the data point that Sanjeev made about a competitive moat, just being able to do that is also a huge competitive moat.

Unlike B2C marketplaces, where you've got 1,000 people that are crowding in, this is a hard market to get into, and by us conquering all these different things, we are making this really formidable position for us and preventing other people from conquering us and taking over.

James Miln
CFO, Xometry

Yeah. I think the final thing on that is just the growth of the supplier network, and I think the asset that we have that's hugely valuable there as buyers look for unmatched speed and capacity resilience across the globe. You know, we've been building up this network, the certifications, the sophistication, the quality, and, you know, building on Sanjeev, that workflow and data that can go from design to manufacture. As we help our suppliers get, you know, and read more signals and get more data there, we can match better and better to the optimal supplier, and it could be a great experience for them, great job for them, profitable job for them, and it meets the needs of the buyer, and Xometry is able to create value from that.

Cory Carpenter
Internet Analyst, JPMorgan Chase & Co

Great. We'll leave it there. Thank you, all.

James Miln
CFO, Xometry

Thank you.

Randy Altschuler
Co-founder and Outgoing CEO, Xometry

Thank you.
