STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
- 1 -
The director presents the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the company is to market and service rapid 3D printing, prototyping and manufacturing systems and related products and materials that enable complex three-dimensional objects to be produced directly from computer data without tooling, which greatly reduces the time and costs required to produce prototypes or customised production parts.
Results for the year
Although revenue for the year decreased by 8.8% from £14.7m in 2022 to £13.4m in 2023, gross profit increased by 47.8% to £2.8m. This can be attributed to an improved gross profit margin of 21.1% in 2023 compared to 13.0% in 2022.
Review of the development, performance and position of the business
Within the expanding 3D printing industry, our USA based parent continues to be cognisant of the increased competition from other manufacturers. The company monitors new products entering the market and develops its product offering accordingly.
We believe that our future success depends on our ability to provide high-quality solutions, introduce new products and services to meet evolving customer needs and market opportunities, and to extend our technologies to new applications. Accordingly, our ongoing R&D programmes are intended to enable us to continue technology advancement and develop innovative new solutions for the marketplace.
Group strategy also includes investing in regenerative medicine to enable the use of additive manufacturing for human organ transplantation, the development of bio-printing technology for non-organ human applications, and introducing more bio-printing technologies into research labs, providing advanced printing systems and unique biological materials to those that advance the science of medicine.
Europe, including 3D Systems Europe Limited as a significant contributing region to the success of 3D Systems globally, will actively participate in the implementation of these strategies and benefit from the outcomes.
Principal risks and uncertainties
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We seek to minimise these risks through regular operating activities as appropriate.
Where possible the company minimises its exposure to credit related losses. The company has implemented procedures that require appropriate credit checks on customers before sales commence.
We expect that future competition may arise from the development of allied or related techniques for equipment and materials that are not encompassed by our group companies patents. Some of our parent company patents have expired and others will expire in the coming years. Upon expiration we may see incremental competition as competitors introduce products using technology that was previously protected by the expired patents. Our parent will continue to follow a strategy of continuing product development to enhance our position to the extent practical.
We have historically made strategic acquisitions that involved significant risks and uncertainties. We may not realise the anticipated benefits of these, and the integration of these acquisitions may disrupt our business and divert management attention. To minimise ongoing risk all acquisitions are subject to 3D Systems’ internal controls and procedures with immediate effect.
Key performance indicators
The business uses various KPI's to monitor the results of the business on an ongoing basis. Financial measures include revenue, cost of sales, and gross margin, which are all line items disclosed on the face of the profit and loss account.

Upholding Responsible Business Practices
Governance: We operate in a responsible and ethical manner and leverage corporate governance standards to operate with resiliency and to sustain the long-term value of our company. We leverage this foundation to influence our sustainability strategy, including utilising our governance structure for oversight of our sustainability programme.
Our sustainability programme is led by our Chief People Officer and Chief Administrative Officer, and the Board of Directors has delegated oversight of the Company’s sustainability programme to its Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee.
Metrics: We are committed to being responsible stewards of the environment as we operate our business. We measure our scope 1 and scope 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption across our sites globally. Our internal metrics are used to provide insights to management as we evaluate environmental strategies around further reducing GHG emissions and conserving energy. These environmental strategies include assessing our real estate portfolio for opportunities to implement energy efficiency measures and looking for investments into renewable energy sources where feasible.
2022 Methodology and 2023 Improvements:
In 2022, the company used a simplified method that measured only energy consumption. Consequently, comparative numbers for some metrics introduced in 2023, including greenhouse gas emissions and intensity metrics, are not available for 2022. In 2023, however, the sustainability reporting function of the group was strengthened, and we adopted more advanced and comprehensive metrics. This shift reflects our evolving commitment to robust sustainability practices and provides a clearer, more accurate reflection of our environmental impact.
Below are the metrics for the company, which is the only entity in scope within the group for this fiscal year 2023 report.
Energy Consumption: Electricity consumption was 103,116 kWh (2022: 101,946 kWh) and natural gas consumption was 3,881 therms for fiscal year 2023.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Scope 1 GHG emissions were 22.54 metric tonnes CO2e and Scope 2 GHG emissions were 21.35 metric tonnes CO2e for fiscal year 2023.
Intensity Metric: The greenhouse gas intensity metric, calculated as Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions per million pounds of annual revenue, stands at approximately 3.27 metric tonnes of CO2e per million pounds of revenue in 2023, based on total emissions of 43.89 metric tonnes of CO2e and annual revenue of £13,415,000.
In 2023, we updated the methodology we used to calculate greenhouse gas emission calculations. Greenhouse Gas inventories were calculated based on requirements defined by the World Resource Institute's (WRI) Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. We used the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s factor to calculate scope 1 emissions for natural gas, and Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to calculate scope 2 emissions for electricity.

DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
- 7 -
The director is responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
3D SYSTEMS EUROPE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF 3D SYSTEMS EUROPE LIMITED
- 8 -
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of 3D Systems Europe Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the profit and loss account, the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its loss for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The director is responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
the information given in the strategic report and the director's report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the strategic report and the director's report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
3D SYSTEMS EUROPE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF 3D SYSTEMS EUROPE LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the director's report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of director
As explained more fully in the director's responsibilities statement, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the director is responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. These included, but were not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and tax legislation.
We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements and the financial report (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate entries including journals to overstate revenue or understate expenditure and management bias in accounting estimates.
Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
discussions with management, including considerations of known or suspected instances of non- compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
gaining an understanding of management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; and
identifying and testing journal entries.
3D SYSTEMS EUROPE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF 3D SYSTEMS EUROPE LIMITED (CONTINUED)
- 10 -
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non- compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Company information
3D Systems Europe Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 2nd Floor, West & South Wing, The Maylands Building, 200 Maylands Avenue, Hemel Hempstead, Herts, HP2 7TG.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £000's.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:
Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’: Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and disclosures;
Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instrument Issues: Interest income/expense and net gains/losses for financial instruments not measured at fair value; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income;
Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’: Compensation for key management personnel.
The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of 3D Systems Corporation.
Consolidation
The company has taken the exemption conferred by Section 401 of the Companies Act 2006 not to produce consolidated financial statements as it is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of 3D Systems Corporation. Copies of the consolidated financial statements of 3D Systems Corporation are publicly available from 333 Three D Systems Circle, Rock Hill, SC 29730, USA or from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. These financial statements therefore present the results of the company only.
1.2
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making the assessment, the director has prepared detailed trading and cashflow forecasts for the next twelve months from the date of signing the financial statements and believes that the company can continue to trade for the foreseeable future. The director has also reviewed the financial status of the wider group and is satisfied it has the resources available to continue to supply the company's products.true

1.3
Turnover
Turnover, which excludes value added tax and trade discounts, represents the invoiced value of the goods and services supplied.
Revenue is recognised when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products or services. The company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Many of the contracts with customers include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative stand-alone selling price (“SSP”). Revenue is recognised net of allowances for returns.
The majority of revenue is recognised at the point when products are shipped or services are delivered.
1.4
Intangible fixed assets - goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the company's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired business at the date of acquisition. Gains and losses on the disposal of a business include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the business sold. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill amortisation is calculated by applying the straight-line method to its estimated useful life. If a reliable estimate cannot be made, the useful life of goodwill is presumed to be 5 years.
Estimates of the useful economic life of goodwill are based on a variety of factors such as the expected use of the acquired business, the expected useful life of the cash generating units to which the goodwill is attributed, any legal, regulatory or contractual provisions that can limit useful life and assumptions that market participants would consider in respect of similar businesses.
1.5
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Leasehold improvements
over the term of the lease
Plant and equipment
4-5 years straight line
Fixtures and fittings
5 years straight line
Computers
5 years straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
1.6
Fixed asset investments
Interests in subsidiaries are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

1.7
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
1.8
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In general, cost is determined on a first in, first out basis and includes all direct expenditure. Where necessary, provision is made for obsolete, slow moving or defective stocks.
1.9
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.10
Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and loans from fellow group companies are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.11
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

1.12
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
1.13
Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.14
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.15
Share-based payments
Where share-based awards are granted to employees, the fair value of the awards at the date of grant are charged to the income statement over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each balance sheet date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of awards that eventually vest.
The fair value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the company keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme).
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.

Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.
1.17
Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.
2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In determining the carrying amounts of investments and intercompany debtors, the company makes assumptions of the effects of uncertain future events on those assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. The company's estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and expectation of future events and are reviewed periodically. This disclosure excludes uncertainty over future events and judgments in respect of measuring financial instruments.

Share-based payment transactions
The company participates in 3D Systems Corporation's Stock Incentive Plans under which certain employees are provided with equity-settled share-based payments in the form of share awards.
Share awards granted vest by one third each year for three years provided the awardee remains an employee of 3D Systems. In addition at times additional shares are issued to qualifying employees which vest immediately. The fair value of share awards is based on the number of shares granted and 3D Systems Corporation's quoted share price at the date of grant less the amount paid by the recipient. The expense is recognised, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting period of the awards on a straight-line basis. The expense taken to the profit and loss account for 2023 was £680,000 (2022: £1,175,000).
