These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of IBA cover the six months ended June 30, 2023 (reviewed). They have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at December 31, 2022 (audited).
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on August 28 2023.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 (audited), except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2023.
The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2023, but only the amendment to IAS 12 has an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.
The standards that became effective in 2023 but that do not impact the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group are the new of IFRS 17, Insurance contracts, which is mainly applicable to companies providing insurance; the amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors which primarily brings clarifications to the differences between accounting estimates and accounting policies ; and the amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies relates to the disclosure of material accounting policies, will be applied in the group's consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2023.
In May 2021, the Board issued amendments to IAS 12, which narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12, so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
The amendments have been applied to transactions that occur on or after January 1, 2023 with no material impacts on both the current period and the previous periods presented as comparatives.
All monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities (including goodwill) are translated at the closing rate. Income and expenses are translated at the rate of the transaction date (historical rate) or at an average rate for the month.

Early 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine, leading to a myriad of economic and other sanctions against Russia, some of which also impact the functioning of IBA.
IBA has a subsidiary in Russia employing about 25 employees, whose operations have been maintained to ensure the operation and maintenance of a proton therapy center in Dimitrovgrad; the maintenance contract for this center was renewed in 2022 for another year. At the same time, the installation of the last treatment room is still ongoing.
We have analyzed the impact of these sanctions on the control of IBA SA on its Russian subsidiary from a consolidation scope perspective and access to its resources, and the indicators of asset impairment the conflict may raise:
We have reviewed whether IBA Group still has control over its Russian subsidiary (Ion Beam Applications LLC, a 100% subsidiary of IBA SA). We have concluded that IBA Group still has control over its subsidiary based upon the following three aspects:
To assess whether IBA Russia is able to fulfill its obligations under the contract, we have considered the following:
Management has also made the assessment that cash can be repatriated in the form of dividend as these are not blocked under the current sanctions and therefore, IBA has access to the liquidities kept in Russia and the ability to receive a return from its Russian subsidiary.
The non-current assets of the Russian subsidiary represent RUB 45.6 million (EUR 0.5 million) and are composed of some deferred tax assets on temporary differences and some property, plant and equipment.
The current assets represent RUB 378.3 million (EUR 3.9 million) and are the following:
In conclusion, IBA has assessed that there is no risk of impairment on IBA Russia's assets, noting that the net assets of IBA Russia amounts to RUB -270.9 million (EUR -2.8 million).
Management has considered whether the conflict has an impact on the impairment test performed on the goodwill and whether it is an indicator of impairment for other non-financial assets.
Goodwill impairment test: the 5-year strategic plan used as a basis for the impairment test was prepared in December 2022 using the latest inflation forecasts taking into account energy and transport price increases, as well as a higher discount rate. Despite these prudent inputs, the group has sufficient headroom in the impairment test to conclude that the risk is relatively low.
The conflict was assessed as having little impact on IBA's global supply chain; the high energy prices and other materials costs were considered when applying inflation in the strategic forecasts of the group. The assessment has led to the conclusion that the current economic situation does not represent an indicator of impairment on IBA group's assets.
IBA does not have cash flow hedge derivatives with respect to its activities in Russia, therefore no further consideration has been given to the application of hedge accounting.
IBA also considered whether the conflict could have an impact on its customers and their ability to pay the balances due to IBA; no significant additional credit losses were recognised in the year ended June 30, 2023 (reviewed)
Management has considered several factors related to the macro-economic environment and their impact on impairment of non-financial assets, expected credit losses, provisions, revenue recognition, hedge accounting, pension plans, deferred tax and going concern.
When preparing the budget for 2023 and the medium-term strategic plan, the macroeconomic conditions were taken into account when preparing the assumptions and forecast transactions. Despite a slower order intake in the first half of the year, IBA's baklog remains strong, therefore reducing uncertainty on future revenues. In addition, the cash position of the group remains solid with EUR 103.3 million gross cash (EUR 61.7 million net). Management has concluded that going concern is not at risk for the group and its entities and that the deferred tax assets are recoverable.
The most impactful macro-economic factors are inflation and high interest rates. Disclosures made in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2022 remain relevant and the group has revised the significant accounting estimates with the most current inflation and interest rates as at June 30, 2023, leading to no or no significant adjustments to goodwill, expected credit losses, onerous contracts provisions and assets impairment.
IBA Group consists of IBA S.A. and a total of 27 companies and associated companies in 15 countries. Of these, 23 are fully consolidated and 4 are accounted for using the equity method.

1 Subsidiary acquired in March 2023

|---|---|---|---|
| Cyclhad SAS | France | 33.33% | 33.33% |
| Normandy Hadrontherapy SAS | France | 39.81% | 39.81% |

IBA does not account for its share of the loss in Cyclhad SAS and Normandy Hadrontherapy SAS above the value of its investment (no commitment to participate in any potential future capital increase).
In 2022, IBA participated in the set-up of a Joint Venture called "Pantera NV/SA" together with SCK-CEN (StudieCentrum voor Kernenergie - Centre d'Étude de l'énergie Nucléaire), the Belgian nuclear research centre with an initial contribution to the share capital of EUR 0.3 million. As at June 30, 2023 (reviewed), both entities participate for 50% of the share capital. The JV will be active in the nuclear medicine, more specifically it will develop, produce and distribute the isotope Ac.225.
In July 2023, the share capital of Pantera NV/SA was increased with a further contribution from IBA for EUR 20.4 million, and the same amount contributed by SCK-CEN, maintaining a 50% - 50% ownership structure between IBA and SCK-CEN.
In a transaction closed on March 3, 2023, the Group acquired 100% of the shares of Fluidomica LD.A.
The consideration paid is EUR 0.2 million, the variable consideration is still to be estimated and will be payable in 2026 for an amount of maximum EUR 0.4 million.
There was no disposal during the first 6 months of 2023.
On January 1st, 2023, the Group acquired 7 500 shares of Invest.BW S.A. As IBA was already holding 150 shares from a previous capital increase, IBA is now holding 25% of the issued shares of Invest.BW SA.
InvestBW is providing financing and support to entrepreneurs in Walloon Brabant, as a venture capital partner InvestBW is an investment fund representing equity and subordinated or convertible loan to entrepreneurs.
Although it is presumed that, with 25% of the shares, IBA has a significant influence over InvestBW, we have rebutted the significant influence on the basis that IBA currently has made the choice to not participate in the decision making process of InvestBW. The investment is accounted for as an equity investment financial asset under IFRS9, at fair value with gains and losses recorgnised in Other Comprehensive Income. Given that the shares were recently acquired, the price paid is considered as the fair value of the investment.
In 2016, the Group invested USD 2.0 million (EUR 1.8 million) in HIL Applied Medical Ltd, a private Israeli developer of laser-based proton therapy systems which is developing a novel, patented approach to particle acceleration and delivery, combining nano-technology with ultrahigh-intensity lasers and ultra-fast magnets.
As at December 31, 2022, IBA has recorded a value increase of the investment by EUR 1.0 million against the Group's Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, based on a valuation exercise using the DCF method and future cash flow forecasts. In July 2023, the investee has formally informed the stakeholder of the financial difficulties encountered and the start of a voluntary dissolution. As a result, the value of the investment has been decreased to zero (against the group's Statement of Other Comprehensive Income).
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldomly equal the related actual results. We present below estimates and assumptions that could cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
The Group recognizes deferred tax assets on unused losses carried forward to the extent that the taxable profit against which these assets are available can be used. The amounts recognized in the financial position are prudent estimates made on the basis of recent financial plans approved by the Board of Directors and depend on certain judgments with respect to the amounts and location of the future taxable profits of the Group's subsidiaries and parent company.
In 2022, a deferred tax asset of EUR 10.9 million was recognised on the tax losses carried forward in Belgium which was previously not recognised and has been maintained in the consolidated financial position as at June 30, 2023 (unaudited) as no updated financial plan has been prepared in the 6 months period. The deferred tax asset will be fully reassessed at the end of each financial year when updated financial plans are available and approved.
As at June 30, 2023 (reviewed), the Group had accumulated net operating losses of EUR 193.2 million (June 2022: EUR 163,9 million) usable to offset future profits taxable mainly in Belgium and Germany and temporary differences for EUR 58.4 million (June 2022: 41,3 million) mainly originating from the United States, Belgium, China, Germany, India and Russia. The Group recognized deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward for EUR 15.8 million with the view using these in future years and EUR 2.5 million as deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences.
The negative result of the Group in June 30, 2023 (reviewed) does not significantly affect the existing budgeted plan of German entities which remained in profit for the period and the remaining planned profit for the future years in the Belgian entity remained sufficient to support the deferred tax asset recognised.
A net deferred tax asset is recognized on these entities on usable tax losses carried forward and there is no indicator that would trigger the reassessment of the deferred tax assets.
IFRS 15 requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers.
The Group is in the business of providing equipment and installation (reported as "Sales"), and operation and maintenance services (reported as "Services"). In applying IFRS 15, IBA makes the following significant judgements and estimates.
(i) Equipment and installation considered as one performance obligation
MID YEAR REPORT 2023// 15 As indicated in the accounting policies section, IBA assessed that its commitment under the equipment and the installation service is to transfer a combined item to which the equipment and the installation are inputs but these elements do not represent separate performance obligations.
(ii) Estimating the progress under the equipment and installation services contract
The Group recognizes revenue over time under such contracts and the progress is measured by reference to the costs incurred when comparing it to the costs to complete. The costs to complete is a significant estimate because it determines the progress made since the inception of the contract and IBA recognizes the revenue of the contract based on the progress estimated in percentage.
(iii) Performance obligations in the licensing contract with CGN and the performance bond
In August 2020, the group signed a technology license agreement with CGN Dasheng Electron Accelerator Technology Co., Ltd for the provision of goods and services related to its Multi-Room Proton Therapy System. The contract applies to the mainland territory of the People's Republic of China.
Given the contract contains an element of variable consideration in the form of an unconditional and irrevocable performance bond the customer can draw upon for an inital maximum value of EUR 15 million (reduced to EUR 10 million in December 2021 and to EUR 5 million in December 2022), management decided not to recognize the full revenue of the license, given the level of uncertainty linked to this type of sale (unique in its kind for IBA). Instead, the remaining amount of variable consideration that is highly sensitive to factors outside the entity's influence is recognized as a refund liability until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
In December 2021, both parties have agreed to reduce the performance bond to EUR 10 million and to further reduce it to EUR 5 million in December 2022 if un-used. As a result, IBA Group has released EUR 5 million of the variable consideration in its Income Statement in both years.
The remaining uncertainty is expected to be resolved at the expiration date of the performance bond (at the earliest per the shipment of the equipment components or 48 months from the effective date of the agreement (August 25, 2024)).
When management considers that there is a risk of impairment, the recoverable amounts of tangible and intangible fixed assets are determined on a "value in use" basis. Value in use is determined on the basis of cash-flows coming from IBA's most recent business plans, as approved by the Board of Directors. These plans incorporate various assumptions made by management and approved by the Board as to
how the business, profit margins, and investments will evolve.
The loss of the current period does not significantly affect the existing budgeted plan and the subsequent quarterly reforecasts and there is therefore no indicator that would trigger an impairment test as of June 30, 2023 (reviewed).
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to
exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate.
The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group 'would have to pay', which requires estimation when no observable rates are available (such as for subsidiaries that do not enter into financing transactions) or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease (for example, when leases are not in the subsidiary's functional currency).
The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entityspecific estimates (such as the subsidiary's stand-alone credit rating).
The assets and liabilities of the Group are valued as follows:

At December 31, 2022 (audited) and June 30, 2023 (reviewed), the net carrying value of these financial assets and liabilities did not differ significantly from their fair value.
The heading "Hedging derivative products" includes the fair value of forward exchange contracts and currency swaps.
The Group may acquire non-controlling interests in other companies, depending on the evolution of its strategy. Equity investments included in ''Other investments'' relate primarily to Scandidos A.B. valued at fair value at Level 1 and InvestBW valued at fair value at Level 2.
Fair value is the price that would be received (to sell an asset) or paid (to transfer a liability) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In conformity with IFRS 9 all derivatives are recognized at fair value in the financial position.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is either the quoted market price or is calculated using pricing models taking into account current market rates. Fair values of hedging instruments are determined by valuation techniques widely used in financial markets and are provided by reliable financial information sources. Fair values are based on the trade dates of the underlying transactions.
The fair value of these instruments generally reflects the estimated amount that IBA would receive on the settlement of favorable contracts or be required to pay to terminate unfavorable contracts at the balance sheet date, and thereby takes into account any unrealized gains or losses on open contracts.
As required by IFRS 13 Fair value measurement, the following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
During the 6 first months of the year, there was no transfer between the various categories for the financial instruments existing as of June 30, 2023 (reviewed).
New financial instruments were acquired and are classified in level 2 such as derivatives as well as shares in InvestBW acquired in January 2023, for which the consideration paid remained a recent transaction and is an observable input for fair value determination. The financial asset related to the group's investment in HIL Applied Medical Ltd measured at fair value at level 3 has been reduced to zero as described in Note 3.3.4.

The net movement on cash-flow hedges relates to hedges that have been concluded in order to safeguard future revenues from currency fluctuations and results in a high cash flow hedge impact on the statement of Other Operating Income. The net fair value of these
assets and liabilities per the end of June 2023 has increased primarily as a result of hedges in CNY (for 3 projects in the People's Republic of China) and to a lesser extent USD, two currencies which over the past 6 months weakened against the EUR.
As at June 30, 2023 (reviewed), the allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables amounts to EUR 3.5 million (December 31, 2022: EUR 3.4 millions).
To calculate the expected credit losses, the group applies the overall matrix described in the

The operating segments are defined based on the information provided to the Management
MID YEAR REPORT 2023// 19 Team. On the basis of its internal financial reports and given the Group's primary source of risk and profitability, IBA has identified two operating segments. In accordance with IFRS 8 Operating segments, the business segments on which segment information is based are (1) Proton therapy and other accelerators and (2) Dosimetry.
Distinct financial information is available for these reporting segments and is used by the Management Team to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.
▪ Proton therapy and other accelerators: This segment constitutes the technological basis of the Group's many businesses and encompasses development, manufacturing and services associated with medical and industrial particle accelerators and proton
therapy systems as well as proton therapy licensing.
▪ Dosimetry: this segment includes the activities that offer a full range of innovative high-quality solutions and services that maximize efficiency and minimize errors in radiation therapy and medical imaging Quality Assurance and calibration procedures.
The segment results, assets and liabilities include the items directly related to a segment, as well as those that may be allocated on a reasonable basis.
The segment investment expenses include the total cost of investments incurred during the period of acquisition of tangible and intangible assets investments, except goodwill.

For the year-ended June 30, 2023 (reviewed), the Group revenue was EUR 169.4 million, a 5.9% increase from 2022 (2022: EUR 160.0 million), primarily composed of:
For the year-ended June 30, 2023 (reviewed), the Group gross margin (26.6%) degraded compared to 2022 (39.1%); the latter was positively impacted by Rutherford's bankruptcy.
For the year-ended June 30, 2023 (reviewed), Group operating expenses were EUR 65.3 million, a 12.6% increase from 2022 (2022: EUR 58.0 million). These expenses include General and Administrative expenses for EUR 27.1 million, Sales and Marketing expenses for EUR 14.0 million and Research and Development net of research credit for EUR 24.2 million. Despite efficient control of overheads costs, careful spending and IBA's cost control measures, the increase is to be observed on all three types of expenses which reflects both the conditions of the general macro-economic environment (primarily the high inflation at all levels) as well as a growing support infrastructure, gearing the Group up for the future expected growth. The cost increases also demonstrate the strategic
efforts that IBA is making on both operating segments to maintain its technological leadership in all business lines.
For the year-ended June 30, 2023 (reviewed), the other operating result (loss) was EUR -0.5 million (2022: EUR -2.4 million) and includes the costs incurred for the Stock Option plan. The other operating result (cost) of 2022 was also impacted by a one-off past service cost of EUR 1.3 million related to the pension plan transfer and loss on bad debt.
The REBIT of both segments was impacted by high inflationary environment, as well as increased investment into R&D, infrastructure, digital technologies and sustainability to maintain IBA's leading offering and invest in its future growth.
For the year-ended June 30, 2023 (reviewed), the financial result (expenses) was EUR -1.9 million, in line with 2022 and primarily composed of:
As at June 30, 2023 (reviewed), there were little costs related to the equity-accounted entities. There were limited activities in the newly set up entity (PanTera SA/NV); the book value of Cyclhad SAS and Normandy Hadrontherapy SAS had previously been reduced to zero. IBA does not account for its share of the loss in these entities above the value of its investment as the Group has no commitment to participate in any potential future capital increase of these two affiliates.
As at June 30, 2023 (reviewed), the Group recognises a tax expense for an amount of EUR -4.6 million representing 20.3% of the loss before tax. In the Proton Therapy and Other Accelerators segment, the tax charge results from the progress on installation projects and the recognition of the related revenue and margin in some countries with a relatively high tax rate.

Basic earnings are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the Company shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of ordinary shares excludes shares purchased- by the Company and held as treasury shares.
| BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE | June 30, 2022 (reviewed) | June 30, 2023 (reviewed) |

| Weighted average number of ordinary shares | 29 175 732 | 29 105 806 |
| Basic earnings per share (EUR per share) | -0.0589 | -0.9367 |
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
In 2022 and 2023, the Company had only one category of dilutive potential on ordinary share: stock options.
The calculation is performed for the stock options to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company's shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding stock options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the stock options.

| Diluted earnings per share (EUR per share) | -0.0589 | -0.9367 |
In compliance with IAS33, which stipulates that the diluted earnings per share does not take into account assumptions for conversion, financial year, or other issuing of potential ordinary shares which may have an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings per share (shares whose conversion involves a decrease in the loss per share).
IBA's business is not subject to any seasonal or cyclical effect.

In 2023, the group mainly invested in intangible assets with further costs (EUR 2.1 million) capitalised related to the compliance effort to renew a licence to sell medical devices in Europe in line with the new European Medical Device Regulation ("Medical Device Regulation"). The additions to Intangible also include further development costs in the configuration of the "Product Life Management" software used in R&D for EUR 1.3 million).
The largest additions to Right of Use assets relate to the lease of new vehicles for EUR 2.1 million and to new and renewed leases for buildings (EUR 2.0 million), primarily in Germany.
The loss for the 6-month period ending June 30, 2023 (reviewed) does not significantly affect the existing budgeted plan and the subsequent quarterly reforecasts. No impairment losses are therefore recognized on property, plant and equipment or intangible assets in the 2023 interim condensed financial statements.

MID YEAR REPORT 2023// 25
The other receivables have increased compared to December 31, 2022 (audited). The main drivers of this increase are the increase of advance payments to suppliers for EUR 11.8 million and the increase of VAT to be received for EUR 3.7 million (reported under "Non-trade receivables" in the table above). The increase is partially offset by the EUR 7.3 million cash
repatriated from IBA Russia which was temporarily blocked by the Belgian authorities and released to IBA's bank account early 2023 and by the reclassification of the prepaid investment in shares for EUR 1.6 million to Other financial assets as the ownership of these shares crystalized on January 1st, 2023.

In 2022, IBA fully repaid a term loan of EUR 21 million.
S.R.I.W. and S.F.P.I. are two Belgian public investment funds (respectively, at regional and federal level).
Following the terms of the S.R.I.W. and S.F.P.I. bond agreements, the Group agreed to comply with a financial covenant relating to the IBA Group level of equity, which was met as at June 30, 2023 (reviewed).
As at June 30, 2023 (reviewed), the Group has at its disposal credit facilities amounting to EUR Utilized credit facilities are as follows:
55.6 million of which 25.9% are used (47.8% in 2022).
The bank facilities at IBA SA level include a EUR 37 million revolving credit facility (maturing in December 2024).
The financial covenants applying to these syndicated facilities consist of (a) a maximum net leverage ratio (calculated as the consolidated net senior indebtedness divided by the consolidated REBITDA over the last 12 months) and (b) a minimum corrected equity level (calculated as the sum of the consolidated equity - with certain reclassifications - and the subordinated indebtedness). Both covenants were complied with as at June 30, 2023 (reviewed).
In China, the CNY 35 million overdraft facility (borrower: Ion Beam Applications Co. Ltd) was maintained for the same amount (undrawn as of June 30, 2023 (reviewed)).

The provisions for warranties have decreased as the utilisations (EUR -0.6 million) and reversals (EUR -1.3 million) in relation to Proton therapy and other accelerators were higher than the additional provisions made during the period (EUR 1.5 million).

The "Other" payable at June 30, 2022 (unaudited) includes advances of EUR 1.3 million received from the Walloon Region of Belgium and other miscellaneous payables amounting to EUR 1.6 million.
The deferred income related to maintenance contract represents the periodic invoicing to customers for revenue that is recognised over time on a linear basis. The movement represents the normal billing profile of these contracts.
The increase in social debt relates to some bonus and variable remuneration components from 2022 for which the payment was not yet triggered at the end of the reporting period (the majority is settled in July 2023) as well as the accrued 13th month expense which is settled fully by December 31 every year.
The other operating expenses include a cost of the share-based payments for the option plans
issued in 2020 and 2021 for a total amount of EUR 0.5 million.
The tax charge for the 6-months period can be broken down as follows:
| (EUR 000) | June 30, 2022 (reviewed) | June 30, 2023 (reviewed) |
|---|---|---|
| Current taxes | -2 299 | -3 563 |
| Deferred taxes | 285 | -1 044 |
| TOTAL | -2 014 | -4 607 |
Despite the loss for the period at the group level, the Current tax expense has increased due to the increase of taxable profit in some countries where IBA operates as well as tax expenses that were not foreseen nor accrued at the end of fiscal year 2022. The Deferred tax expense relates to the recognition of additional deferred tax on temporary differences on the accounting treatment of revenue recognition of the Operation and Maintenance contracts, as well as the utilisation of net operating losses available in Germany.
The Group is not involved in any significant litigation currently. The potential risks connected to minor proceedings are deemed to be either groundless or insignificant, or when the risk of payment of potential damages seems actual, are either adequately covered by provisions or insurance policies.
The Group has filed an insurance claim on faulty parts. As the claim does not meet all the criteria to be recognised as an asset on the balance sheet, the group presents this as a contingent asset. The best estimate of Management for the insurance indemnity to be received is EUR 0.5 million.
For more information on employee benefits see annual report note 27 as movements for the six months period ending June 2023 in employee benefits are not significant.
A dividend of EUR 0.21 per share was approved at the Ordinary General Meeting of June 14, 2023.
This dividend was paid in July 2023.

➢ Combined PT/Other Accelerators REBIT of EUR -23.5 million, largely attributable to revenue recognition phasing in PT, and to a lesser extent some PT installations shifting to H2 and some inflationary impacts on equipment and labour costs:

On backlog conversion, five large projects are scheduled for revenue recognition in H2 as expected, while three others shifted to H2 due to customer-related reasons. Four projects also saw moderate cost increases representing around 1.2% of the total equipment cost base, linked to inflation on labor and equipment. Order intake came in late in the period, at the end of Q2. Revenue recognition for IBA's Proton Therapy business unit has therefore been very slow in the first half. However, the equipment for these projects is already available, as demonstrated by the record inventory levels, and the Company is gearing up to ship this equipment in H2 and start installation.
Overall PT revenues decreased by 6.2%, despite higher production levels and growing service revenues. This is largely in relation to the elements mentioned above. In addition, 2022 was positively impacted by the receipt of indemnities related to Rutherford in the UK.
IBA has 35 PT projects under production or installation, consisting of eight Proteus®PLUS and 27 Proteus®ONE systems. The pipeline remains active, with a particular interest from Asia and America. IBA remains the market leader in PT, with 42% market share.
Contract wins during the period include Medtechnica Ltd for two Proteus®ONE solutions. Once installed at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, these will be the first proton therapy systems in Israel. Elsewhere an agreement was secured with CGN Medical Technology for the installation of Proteus®PLUS in Chengdu, China, linked to an existing strategic licensing agreement with the West China International Cancer Treatment Center.
There are 37 IBA PT sites generating service revenues worldwide, with no new sites entering service in the first half. Post-period end, the Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai treated its first patient in August 2023 making it the second operational proton therapy center in India as well as the second IBA center in the country. PT Services had a strong first half, increasing by 10% on H1 2022. Services backlog remains very high at EUR 617 million. Services remain an important recurrent revenue stream for IBA, providing us with visibility on sustainable profitable growth.
Investment into PT research remains a key pillar of IBA's strategy. In June, a research partnership was initiated with Particle Therapy Interuniversity Center Leuven (PARTICLE) to support the development of ConformalFLASH® . Preclinical research will be conducted to evaluate the impact of FLASH on tissue toxicity using IBA's Proteus®ONE system.

Other Accelerators had a solid H1, with eight systems sold globally and an order intake of EUR 29 million. Equipment revenues increased by EUR 4.3 million (+20.2%), due to good backlog conversion. 10 installations started in the first half, with 21 additional installations expected to initiate by the full year. The services part of the business performed extremely well, growing by 49.7% due to an increased installed base, several upgrades to existing machines and a strong replacement parts business.
Order intake for Industrial Solutions in the period was impacted by macroeconomic factors, yet interest in IBA's Rhodotron® machines remains high, particularly for use in sterilization settings. Revenue in the first half rose significantly, 72.3% on the same period last year, on the back of high order intake from 2022.
Demand for IBA's RadioPharma Solutions remains strong. May saw the launch of AKURACY® , an integrated solution for Cardiac PET imaging, an increasingly sought-after clinical tool. AKURACY® combines PET production equipment with a streamlined production process of the radiotracer 13Nammonia. IBA continues to support the development of new theranostic solutions, particularly for cancer. Recently IBA successfully installed a Cyclone® 30XP at in Julich, Germany, for the production of the radioisotope astatine-221.
PanTera, IBA and SCK CEN's joint venture focussed on the production of the radioisotope actinium-225 (225Ac) to meet growing global demand, has made good progress in the past six months and in June a strategic partnership was secured with TerraPower Isotopes for early production of 225Ac. The collaboration is focussed on both increasing the near-term production of 225Ac for use in ongoing clinical trials, as well as ensuring the large-scale supply of the radioisotope in the long term. PanTera will continue to share updates as significant milestones are reached.
Post period end, IBA sold three additional machines in the Other Accelerator segment, bringing order intake to a total of 11 machines. These included a TT1000, IBA's unique X-ray Rhodotron® , and an agreement with Grand Pharmaceutical Group for a Cyclone® KIUBE cyclotron in China. Alongside the cyclotron, a strategic collaboration was signed for the production of radioisotopes for cancer diagnosis, such as Fluorine-18, Copper-64, and Zirconium-89.

The Dosimetry team has advanced several launches and upgrades in the first half. DOSE-X, a next-generation reference class electrometer, was released in April 2023. At ESTRO in May IBA demonstrated upgrades to patient QA software myQA® iON 2.0 and radiation oncology risk management software myQA® PROactive.
The strategic alliance first signed with ScandiDos in August 2022 has resulted in the expansion of IBA's dosimetry footprint and the integration of core technologies. During the period IBA and ScandiDos signed a distribution agreement enabling users to buy the combined myQA® iON and Delta4 phantom+ directly from IBA.
Group revenue in the period was EUR 169.4 million, a 5.9% increase from H1 2022. Growth of revenues was modest, impacted by the H2 phasing of revenue recognition and some PT projects shifting to H2, despite good backlog conversion in Other Accelerators, strong Dosimetry sales and growth in Services. H2 is expected to see a very significant increase in installations and related backlog conversion.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 26.5% (H1 2022: 39.1%), mainly affected by lower absorption of overheads due to low revenue recognition, product mix and to a lesser extent some inflationary increases.
Operating expenses increased by 12.6%. Sales and marketing and R&D costs increased in the period, in relation to recruitment, higher levels of travel and marketing expenditure, as well as investments in the future of the business including digital and product development. General and administrative expenses were on the other hand tightly controlled in the period, beating inflationary increases to salaries.
The recurring operating loss (REBIT) stood at EUR -20.3 million (H1 2022: EUR 4.6 million), strongly impacted by delays in revenue from slower than expected backlog conversion as well as high levels of operating expenditure.
Other operating loss of EUR 0.5 million included stock option costs.
Financial expenses included interest received and paid on bank deposits and loans as well as foreign exchange impacts in particular on the USD, Chinese yuan and Argentine peso.
Taxes were strongly affected by increasing operations in Asia, scope changes and deferred tax impacts in certain geographies.
As a result of the above, IBA reported a net loss of EUR 27.3 million (H1 2022: net loss EUR 1.7 million).
Operating cash flow generated was EUR -43.7 million down from EUR 25.2 million last year, impacted by a large inventory increase and an uptick in downpayments to suppliers as the Company geared up to deliver projects in H2 and beyond, in particular in the Proton Therapy and Industrial businesses.
Cash flow used in investing activities was EUR 6.8 million, driven by increased capital expenditure in IT tools and medical device regulation costs and a small acquisition in the Radiopharma sector.
Cash flow used in financing activities was EUR 3.2 million, mostly comprising lease repayments.
The balance sheet is solid, with a gross cash position at period end of EUR 103.3 million and a net cash position of EUR 61.7 million. At the end of the period, IBA had EUR 41 million undrawn short-term credit lines still available and all bank covenants have been complied with. As part of scheduled renegotiations, unused syndicated revolving credit facilities of EUR 37 million were refinanced in August and increased to EUR 40 million, bringing total credit lines available to EUR 44 million.
IBA continued to progress on its four strategic sustainability streams using its B Corp certification as a tool to operationalize a stakeholder approach. In particular, during the period, IBA started its B Corp recertification process aiming at reaching above 100 points by 2024 (from 90 in 2021) and also started working with EcoVadis, to map out its supply chain ESG risk. Other initiatives during the period included the implementation of eco-design practices on major product line design processes and employee initiatives on mobility and biodiversity to promote sustainability.
The decline in REBIT in the first half was largely attributable to revenue recognition on several projects scheduled in H2 as per initial timelines and to a lesser extent some project shifts, late
order intake and some inflationary pressures. Looking ahead, we are confident that conversion of existing contracts will strongly accelerate in Proton Therapy and Other Accelerators in H2
Operations teams are prioritizing the delivery of inventory to projects in order to accelerate revenue recognition. At present, the Group has very high levels of inventory that is ready to be shipped. We are now expected to deploy this through the second half and already have visibility on the majority of this work in the period. At the Group level IBA continues to keep overhead and OPEX costs under strict control.
IBA reiterates its mid-term guidance laid out at the full-year results, based on the assumption that macro-economic factors normalize over the coming year: supply chain issues stabilize, inflation drops back towards 3%, and challenges accessing certain regions reduce. In addition, guidance is on the basis that order intake

management report includes a fair review of important events and significant transactions with related parties for the first half of 2023 and their impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that the Company faces.
Definition: Gross profit is the difference of the aggregate amount recognized on "Sales" and "Services" after deducting the costs associated with the construction and production of the associated equipment and incurred in connection with the provision of the operation and maintenance services.
Reason: Gross profit indicates IBA's performance by showing how it is able to generate revenue from the expenses incurred in the construction, operation and maintenance of dosimetry, proton-therapy and other accelerators.
Definition: Earning before interests and taxes (''EBIT'') shows the performance of the group (or segment) before financial income/expenses and taxes. It shows all operating income and expenses incurred during the period.
Reason: EBIT is a useful performance indicator as it shows IBA's operational performance of the period by eliminating the impact of the financial transactions and taxes.
Definition: Recurring earning before interests and taxes (''REBIT'') shows the result of the group (or segment) before financial income/expenses and taxes and before the other operating income and other operating expenses. REBIT is an indicator of a company's profitability of the ordinary activities of the group, adjusted with the items considered by the management to not be part of the underlying performance.
Reason: Management considers REBIT as an improved performance indicator for the group allowing year-on-year comparison of the profitability, as cleaned up with transactions not considered part of the underlying performance.
Definition: The net financial debt measures the overall debt situation of IBA.
Reason: Net financial debt provides an indication of the overall financial position strength of the Group and measures IBA's cash position.
