As anticipated, our first half of this year was weaker compared to the same period last year with sales in constant exchange rates declining by 2 percent. Actions are in place to further improve profitability, and after a period of strong decline we saw orders improving in China. We have reached our target of providing access to 300 million people in underserved markets.

Successful product launches

As anticipated, we faced a challenging first half of the year with reduced sales and lower earnings. Our top priority remains to enhance our profitability. We have implemented price increases and are actively pursuing cost reductions, which are beginning to show results, with further improvements expected. Our latest linear accelerator, Elekta Evo, now also CE-marked and submitted for FDA approval, has been well received by customers and is projected to positively impact margins and sales by the end of this the fiscal year.

Ongoing activities to improve the gross margin

Net sales in constant exchange rates declined by 4 percent in Q2, driven by weak performance in Europe and Latin America. However, after a period of strong decline, we saw orders improving in China, and even if we remain cautious in our near-term outlook for the Chinese market, we are confident in returning to previous growth.

The adjusted gross margin declined to 35.7 percent (36.0) mainly driven by changed market mix, with increased volumes in Ukraine, where we have delivered on our commitment to support Ukrainian cancer patients. Our equipment will improve access to radiation therapy for the almost one million people in Ukraine living with cancer. In addition, increased material and salary costs impacted the gross margin negatively. With our ongoing activities, involving price increases, cost reductions and launching new products, I am convinced that we will be able to improve the gross margin.

Most comprehensive product portfolio in the industry During ASTRO in Washington DC, we introduced Elekta Evo alongside the additions to our software suite, Elekta ONE, to the American market. The customer feedback on

our new products has been very encouraging, and we are now installing the first Evo linacs and Elekta ONE.

I am just back from the MR-Linac Consortium meeting in Singapore, which further underlined the importance of a full range adaptive portfolio, presenting the most recent advances on MR guided adaptive treatments and how it is continuously pushing the boundaries of cancer care.

We have continued to make significant investments in R&D, and all our solutions are now fully image guided and adaptive. We have the industry's most competitive and comprehensive product portfolio, which we will leverage to drive profitable growth moving forward. Furthermore, I am pleased to announce that we have reached our target of providing access to 300 million people in underserved markets.

Grow and expand margins

As previously communicated, we expect sales and profitability to pick up during the second half of the year as a result of new product launches and productivity measures. Net sales for Elekta are expected to grow by mid-single digit for the full year of 2024/25 with an improved EBIT margin. Beyond this fiscal year, we are driving for an EBIT margin of 14 percent or higher as we are experiencing strong customer interest in our industryleading offerings and a long-term underlying demand for world-leading cancer care solutions.

Financial highlights

Net sales

  • 4 percent decrease in constant exchange rates mainly due to Europe and Latin America
  • U.S. showed growth in constant exchange rates
  • Sales in China decreased by 1 percent strong order growth in the quarter

Based on constant exchange rates, Elekta's net sales decreased by 4 percent in the second quarter. The development was mainly driven by weak performance in Europe and Latin America while the U.S. showed growth. Reported net sales decreased by 8 percent amounting to SEK 4,341 M (4,732).

APAC sales was in line with last year. Despite the negative impact of the anti-corruption campaign, China's decline was limited to 1 percent. In the Americas, growth in the U.S. was fully offset by decreased sales in Latin American countries. Sales in EMEA declined by 5 percent compared to last year when the region grew by 16 percent driven by large installations in Spain, Italy and the UK. Most markets in the Middle East and Africa showed growth.

Service showed growth of 4 percent based on constant exchange rates with positive development in most of the business lines and regions. Solutions decreased by 10 percent in constant exchange rates mainly due to lower sales in Europe and Latin America.

Book-to-bill development

The book-to-bill ratio was 0.99 (1.05) in the second quarter while the rolling twelve months ended at 1.09 (1.09). Gross order intake in the second quarter amounted to SEK 4,317 M (4,989), a decrease by 13 percent in SEK and 9 percent based on constant exchange rates. In the quarter, China delivered strong order growth compared to last year's low level.

Earnings

  • Adjusted gross margin declined mainly related to lower sales and changed market mix
  • Selling and admin expenses decreased driven by the cost-reduction initiative
  • Higher amortization costs following recent product launches

Gross income development

The adjusted gross income was SEK 1,551 M (1,703), representing an adjusted gross margin of 35.7 percent (36.0). The decline was attributed to changed market mix, with increased volumes in Ukraine, where Elekta has delivered a major part of the order won last year. In addition, increased material and salary costs both in Services and Solutions impacted the gross margin negatively. Changes in foreign exchange rates also had a negative impact.

Gross income amounted to SEK 1,542 M (1,695), which represented a margin of 35.5 percent (35.8).

EBIT development

Adjusted EBIT came in at SEK 423 M (542), representing a margin of 9.8 percent (11.5). The decline in the adjusted EBIT margin derives from the lower gross income and higher net R&D expenses.

EBIT amounted to SEK 388 M (525), which represented a margin of 8.9 percent (11.1). Items affecting comparability in the second quarter mainly consisted of personnelrelated costs and amounted to SEK 35 M (17), whereof SEK 8 M (8) impacted gross margin.

Operating expenses, excluding items affecting comparability and based on constant exchange rates, increased by 6 percent during the second quarter. The increase was mainly driven by higher amortization of intangible assets following recent product launches and lower R&D capitalization. This was partly offset by lower selling and administrative expenses resulting from the cost-reduction initiative.

Net income development

Net income amounted to SEK 215 M (344) and earnings per share to SEK 0.55 (0.90) before and after dilution. Net financial items increased to SEK -113 M (-83) explained by higher interest expenses. Taxes amounted to SEK -61 M (-97), representing a tax rate of 22 percent (22).

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Earnings

Cost-reduction initiative

During the second quarter, Elekta has continued to drive cost-reduction initiatives with the aim of lowering structural costs and enhancing productivity across the organization. The target is to generate annual run rate savings by around SEK 250 M at the end of the fiscal year 2024/25, at an estimated implementation cost of SEK 250 M.

In the first half of 2024/25, annual run rate savings of SEK 150 M were achieved, with a SEK 34 M savings impact in the first six months. The implementation costs amounted to SEK 144 M and are reported as items affecting comparability, see page 27-28.

Employees

The average number of employees during the second quarter ending on October 31, 2024, was 4,580 (4,541). This figure includes employees from AnSheng, which was consolidated as of September 1, 2024. At the end of fiscal year 2023/24 the average number of employees amounted to 4,607.

Shares

Total number of registered shares on October 31, 2024, was 383,568,409, of which 14,980,769 were A-shares and 368,587,640 B-shares. On October 31, 2024, 1,485,289 shares were treasury shares held by Elekta. Earnings per share was SEK 0.55 (0.90) before and after dilution.

Cash flow and financial position

  • Cash flow impacted by lower EBITDA, increased working capital and investments
  • Rolling twelve months net working capital as a percentage of net sales improved
  • Increased net debt driven by continued investments and acquisitions

Cash flow

Cash flow after continuous investments amounted to SEK -31 M (211). This was mainly driven by lower EBITDA, increased net working capital, and higher investments. The impact of lower customer advances was partially offset by reductions in accounts receivable and inventories. Rolling twelve months net working capital as a percentage of net sales improved to -5 percent (-3).

Investments in intangible assets amounted to SEK 422 M (367) and were mainly related to R&D investments in new product solutions and software. Investments in tangible assets increased to SEK 66 M (45). Cash conversion in the second quarter was 65 percent (78).

Review report

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Elekta AB as of October 31, 2024 and for the six months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.

Note 2 – Segment reporting

Elekta applies geographical segmentation. Net sales and contribution margin for the respective regions are reported to Elekta's CFO and CEO (chief operating decision makers). The regions' expenses are directly attributable to the respective regions' reported figures including cost of products sold. Global costs for R&D, marketing, management of product supply centers and Parent Company are not allocated per region. Currency exposure is concentrated to product supply centers. The majority of exchange differences in operations are reported in global costs.

Elekta's operations are characterized by significant quarterly variations in volumes and product mix, which have a direct impact on net sales and profits. This is accentuated when the operation is split into segments, as is the impact of currency fluctuations between the years. In general, revenue from Solutions is recognized at a point in time and revenue from Services are recognized over time.
