Compared to the first six months of last year, ExOne's (XONE) total sales have fallen 17% to $15.3 million. Along with these results, released earlier this month, management also reiterated that it expects ExOne to generate $58 million to $66 million in full-year sales.
Based on first-half sales, it implies that management believes ExOne will generate between $42.7 million and $50.7 million during the second half.
