Note 1. Organization, Nature of the Business, and Risks and Uncertainties

Organization and Nature of Business

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company” and “Markforged” refer to the consolidated operations of Markforged Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries. References to “AONE” refer to the company prior to the consummation of the Merger and references to “Legacy Markforged” refer to MarkForged, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Merger.

Legacy Markforged was founded in 2013 to transform the manufacturing industry with high strength, cost effective parts using additive manufacturing. Markforged produces and sells 3D printers, materials, software, and other related services worldwide to customers who can build parts strong enough for the factory floor with significantly reduced lead time and cost. The printers print in plastic, nylon, metal, and the parts can be reinforced with carbon fiber for industry leading strength at an affordable price point.

On February 23, 2021, one, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“AONE”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Caspian Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AONE (“Merger Sub”), and Legacy Markforged, pursuant to which (i) AONE would deregister as a Cayman Islands company and domesticate as a corporation in the State of Delaware and would be renamed “Markforged Holding Corporation” (the “Domestication”) and (ii) Merger Sub would merge with and into Legacy Markforged with Legacy Markforged surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Markforged Holding Corporation (the “Merger”). AONE's shareholders approved the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement on July 13, 2021, and the Domestication and the Merger were completed on July 14, 2021 (the "Closing").

Cash proceeds of the merger were funded through a combination of AONE’s $132.5 million of cash held in trust (after redemptions of $64.2 million) and an aggregate of $210.0 million in fully committed common stock transactions at $10.00 per share. Immediately prior to the Closing, Legacy Markforged repurchased shares of common stock from certain of its stockholders, for a total value of $45.0 million, referred to as the “Employee Transactions”. Total net proceeds upon Closing, net of the Employee Transactions and transaction costs paid at Closing of $27.1 million, were $288.8 million.

Liquidity

The Company has funded its operations to date primarily through the sale of convertible preferred stock, the proceeds from the Merger, including the sale of common stock, and the sale of its products. Management believes that existing cash will be sufficient to fund operating and capital expenditure requirements through at least one year after the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Currently we generate negative operating cash flows and may continue to do so as we focus on pursuing commercialization and product development. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 we generated net negative cash flows from operations of $21.9 million and $30.7 million, respectively. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, the timing and the amount of cash received from customers, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, expenses associated with our international expansion, the introduction of platform enhancements, the continuing market adoption of The Digital Forge platform, and the outcome of litigation. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that we require additional financing, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We have enacted, and intend to continue to enact, cost savings measures to preserve capital. In November 2023, we announced a cost restructuring initiative that included an approximately 10% workforce reduction and other operational savings measures expected to deliver operating costs savings of approximately $9 - $12 million in 2024. Further, in August 2024, we announced an approximately $25 million cost reduction initiative that is expected to reduce the Company’s operating expenses to a yearly run rate of approximately $70 million. We expect that most of these cost reduction initiatives will be completed in the second half of fiscal year 2024. We are currently evaluating other potential initiatives we may undertake to reduce our operating expenses and manage our cash flows. These initiatives could include rationalizing our product portfolio, workforce adjustments based on changes to the business, improving our supply chain and logistics, and improving our inventory management. These initiatives may not be successful, and they

may not generate the cost savings we expect. Certain future events, such as a global recession, a material supply chain disruption or other events outside our control, may occur and could negatively impact our operating results and cash position and may require us to use our existing capital resources more quickly than we currently anticipate. These events may cause us to undertake additional cost savings measures or seek additional sources of financing.

Risks and Uncertainties

We continue to monitor, analyze, and respond to evolving developments regarding supply chain disruptions and the economic downturn. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact that these factors will have on the business, future results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The potential risks to the Company including certain accounting estimates around its supply chain, accounts receivable, inventory and related reserves, and intangible assets, were assessed and had no material impact as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. There may be changes to those estimates in future periods, and actual results could differ from those estimates.
