These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of IBA cover the six months ended June 30, 2022 (unaudited). 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, 2021 (audited).
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on August 29 2022.
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, 2021 (audited), except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2022.
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 2022, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.
Only amendments and/or interpretations of IAS 37 are relevant to the group, the nature and the impact are described below:
The amendments clarify that the 'costs of fulfilling a contract', when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making, comprise both:
General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract.
These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. Since the group's current practice is in line with the amendments, the Group does not expect any effect on its consolidated financial statements.
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.

1.1.3 Current and expected impact of the current economic situation on the financial position, performance and cashflows
The 6 months period ending June 30, 2022 remained mixed due to the COVID-19 pandemic which continues to delay the execution of some of our projects, the scarcity of certain materials or components, the high inflation, and the effects of the armed conflict in Ukraine. The challenges experienced in 2021 remained in the first half of 2022 however considerable resilience was shown across all of the business lines.
As a global business, the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdown restrictions particularly impacted the signing and installation of new contracts. The following elements related to the pandemic significantly impacted the Company:
All of the above was partially compensated by continuing lower level of travel both on equipment and service contracts and in SG&A.
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. We have analyzed the impact of these sanctions to assess whether IBA Group still has on the 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. This conclusion is based upon the following three aspects:
these activities is currently guaranteed taking into account the current facts and circumstances (the current state of the EU sanctions against Russia). Management believes that IBA has still the ability to obtain dividend from Russian entity.
The analysis of the impact of macro-economic and geopolitical challenges on IBA's financial position and cash-flow is summarized below:
Despite the difficult situation induced by the pandemic, the armed conflict in Ukraine, the scarcity of certain components and raw materials, and the high inflation, thanks to a cost saving program launched early into the pandemic, prudent investments and spending, resilient customers and a close follow-up of its balance sheet positions, IBA has been able to maintain a good cash position and remains net cash positive as at June 30, 2022 (unaudited).
IBA has credit lines available from its financing institutions worth EUR 37 million that are not drawn down and was not in breach of its bank covenants at June 30, 2022 (unaudited).
The Company had performed an impairment test of goodwill as at December 31, 2021 (audited), which led to no impairment being necessary as of December 31, 2021 (audited). Despite the uncertainty in the business outlook generated by the parameters mentioned in paragraph 1.1.3, the business of the group remained in line with 2021 and the activities of the CGU Dosimetry (which the goodwill relate to) remained profitable during the first half of the year ending June 30, 2022 (unaudited). On that basis, the Group concluded that the current economic situation does not represent an indicator of impairment on the goodwill; it will perform a more detailed analysis as at December 31, 2022.
IBA has assessed that the current economic situation has not led to any indication of impairment of assets and therefore concluded that none of the impairment indicators in IAS 36 have been triggered.
As of June 30, 2022 (unaudited), the recoverability of deferred tax assets has been assessed based on the latest information available. This has not led to any impairment of deferred tax assets related to losses carried forward.
Despite the global crisis and inflation, the Group has maintained its hedge accounting policies as defined in the 2021 year-end financial statements. As IBA has not identified any trigger for hedge disqualification due to the current economic situation, the financial result has not been impacted as at June 30, 2022 (unaudited). The company will continue to review its positions going forward to identify any potential new trigger for hedge disqualification.
The Company has also considered the impact of the current economic situation on the expected credit loss of its financial instruments (mainly loans, trade and other receivables (short-term and long-term)). The amount and timing of the expected credit losses, as well as the probability assigned thereto, has been based on the available information at the end of the first half-year 2022. As a result of this review no significant additional credit losses directly related to these events have been recorded in the first half-year 2022.
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.

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 the reporting period, IBA participated in the set-up of a Joint Venture called "Spin-off Ac 225" together with SCK-CEN (StudieCentrum voor Kernenergie - Centre d'Étude de l'énergie Nucléaire), the Belgian nuclear research centre with a contributiuon to the share capital of EUR 0.3 million. 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 a transaction closed on 29 April 2022, the Group acquired 100% of the shares of Modus Medical Devices Inc.
With a development center in Canada and 17 team members, Modus has an international presence and is at the forefront of quality assurance in the field of advanced radiotherapy and medical imaging. Modus has earned the trust of the world's leading medical physicists by creating phantoms and software that help them fulfill their responsibilities with the utmost confidence.
This transaction qualifies as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3 and is therefore accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
The consideration transferred by the Group to acquire Modus includes:
Company) depending on the sales of certain products realized by Modus over 1 May 2022 to 30 April 2032;
The fair value of the contingent consideration amounts to CAD 2.5 million at acquisition date and remained unchanged at the reporting date.
The fair value categorized as level 3 has been estimated based on a model in which the possible outcomes are probability weighted.
The unobservable input to which this fair value is most sensitive is the estimated sales of Modus over the reference period.
At acquisition date, the Group has estimated the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Modus for a net amount of CAD 2.8 million (EUR equivalents of EUR 2.1 million), the excess of consideration represents a goodwill on acquisition for CAD 11.1 million (EUR equivalents of EUR 8.3 million). The goodwill is attributable to the business segment of Dosimetry. The excess price paid is supported by the strategy of the Group with this acquisition, which is twofold, first to boost and extend the sales of the product commercialised by Modus to additional markets where IBA already has experience, second to take advantage of some cost savings opportunities. At this stage, IBA has not made an in-depth assessment on the tax deductibility of the goodwill.
The fair values reported below result from a first preliminary exercise and have been determined on a provisional basis as IFRS 3 permits an acquirer to finalise the acquisition accounting and the purchase price allocation over a maximum period of 12 months from the date of acquisition. As a result of a later and more in-depth purchase price allocation, the goodwill may be adjusted and reduced against an additional intangible asset.
The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Modus as well as the consideration transferred and the resulting goodwill are set in the table below with the net cash flow effect at acquisition date:
| ASSETS | |
|---|---|
| Cash | 3 |
| Trade receivables | 899 |
| Other receivables and prepaid expenses | 210 |
| Inventories | 797 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 12 |
| Intangible assets | 866 |
| TOTAL ASSETS | 2 787 |
| Trade payables | 4 |
| TOTAL LIABILITIES | 4 |
| Net Assets acquired | 2 783 |
| Goodwill arising from acquisition | 11 111 |
| Paid in cash at acquisition date | 11 000 |
| Earn Out payments expected over ten years after acquisition date | 2 500 |
| Working capital adjustment paid in cash after acquisition date | 394 |
| Total purchase consideration | 13 894 |
| 11 391 |
From the date of acquisition, the contribution of Modus to the Group's revenue and net profit before tax is not deemed material as only 2 months of operations are included.
There was no disposal during the first 6 months of 2022.
During the first half of the year, the Group faced the bankruptcy of Rutherford Estates Ltd, a health services provider based in the United Kingdom, operating 3 PT centres with another 2 that were not yet operational. Following the bankruptcy, IBA unwound the contracts and retained the down-payments received to date as compensation for the terminated contracts, partially covering the costs of the cancelled service contracts and existing allowances for bad debts, with a net positive impact of EUR 5.5 million. In addition, the Group also held a stake in the capital of Rutherford Estates Ltd, for an amount of EUR 11.1 million. The Fair Value of this existing investment was reduced to zero at the end of June and the adjustment is recognised in the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income.
Besides the direct impact on the 2022 Financial Statements, the backlog related to the related service contracts was reduced to zero, a reduction of EUR 81.1 million.
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.
As at June 30, 2022 (unaudited), the Group had accumulated net operating losses of EUR 163.9 million (June 2021: EUR 148.3 million) usable to offset future profits taxable mainly in Germany. The Company recognized deferred tax assets of EUR 5.4 million with the view to use these tax losses carried forward.
The temporary differences for EUR 41.3 million mainly originate in the United States, Belgium, China, Germany and Russia. The temporary differences recognized as gross deferred tax assets amount to EUR 3.8 million and as gross deferred tax liabilities amount to EUR -0.1 million.
The negative result of the Group in June 30, 2022 (unaudited) does not significantly affect the existing budgeted plan of German entities which remained in profit for the period. A net deferred tax asset is recognized on these entities on usable tax losses carried forward and there is therefore 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.
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 (Proteus Plus). The contract applies to the mainland territory of the People's Republic of China. The agreement includes the sale of a license, the supply of proton therapy equipment and the provision of relevant support and training for a total value of EUR 100 million. Under IFRS 15, Management determined that the contract has 3 performance obligations:
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 a maximum value of EUR 15 million, 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 amount of variable consideration that is highly susceptible 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 it was mutually agreed to reduce it further to EUR 5 million in December 2022 in the event if unused. At the very latest the bond will expire at the earliest of 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, 2022 (unaudited).
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:

After reviewing the type of assets and liabilities included in the table above, we have decided to remove the "prepaid expenses" from "Other short term receivables" and "deferred income" from "Other short-term liabilities" as we do not consider these to be financial assets and liabilities. To ensure comparability, 2021 figures were re-stated (respectively EUR -5.2 million and EUR 18.5 million) compared to the published 2021 financial statements
At December 31, 2021 (audited) and June 30, 2022 (unaudited), the net carrying value of these financial assets and liabilities did not differ significantly from their fair value.
The headings "Hedging derivative products" and "Derivative products – other" in assets and liabilities include 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 HIL Applied Medical Ltd valued at fair value at Level 2.
The value of these investments has significantly decreased as a result of the bankruptcy of Rutherford Estates Limited (previously Proton Partners International (PPI)). The value of this equity investment has been reduced to EUR 0 generating a loss of EUR 11 million recorded in the other comprehensive income.
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, 2022 (unaudited).
New financial instruments were acquired and are classified in level 2 (derivatives) and in level 3 (the contingent consideration for the acquisition of Modus, see note 2.3.1).

The net movement on cash-flow hedges concerns 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 amount per the end of
June 2022 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 strengthened against the EUR.
As at June 30, 2022 (unaudited), the allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables amount to EUR 8.3 million (June 2021: EUR 3.9 millions). The increase is primarily driven by the bankruptcy of Rutherford Estates Limited as described in note 2.3.3.
To calculate the expected credit losses, the group applies the overall matrix described in the accounting policies. The credit loss is then reviewed in detail to take into consideration other customer specific factors such as renegotiation, customer refinancing, and guarantees received.
IBA identified its Management Team as its CODM (Chief Operating Decision Maker) because this is the committee that decides how to allocate resources and assesses performance of the components of the Group.
On the basis of its internal financial reports to the Board of Directors and given the Group's primary source of risk and profitability, IBA has identified two levels of operating information:
The operating segments are defined based on the information provided to the Management 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, fabrication 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.

As at June 30, 2022 (unaudited), the Group recognised revenue for EUR 160.0 million, representing an increase of 17% from 2021 (EUR 137.2 million).
As at June 30, 2022 (unaudited), the Group's gross margin improved compared to the same period last year, despite the effects of the current economic situation.
The revenue and gross margin for the two operating segments are detailed in the table above and can be explained as follows:
As at June 30, 2022 (unaudited), the Group had incurred operating expenses for EUR 58.0 million which show an increase of 31% compared to 2021. These expenses include General and Administrative expenses for EUR 26.8 million, Sales and Marketing expenses for EUR 11.4 million and Research and Development net of research credit for EUR 19.9 million. The increase is mainly caused by R&D and is the result of IBA maintaining
strategic R&D on both operating segments to ensure IBA's technological leadership in all business lines. In addition, there was a significant impact from inflation on the Operating Expense per the end of June 2022.
As at June 30, 2022 (unaudited), the other operating result (cost) of EUR -2.4 million was primarily composed of the one-off past service cost of EUR 1.3 million related to the pension plan transfer (further details in note 6.11), the costs of the two stock options plans the Group issued in 2020 and 2021, and bad debt.
As at June 30, 2022 (unaudited), the financial result (expenses) was EUR -1.9 million (2021: EUR -0.4 million), primarily composed of:
As at June 30, 2022, there were no costs related to the equity-accounted entities. There were no activities in the newly set up entity (the "Spin-off Ac 225") and the book value of Cyclhad SAS and Normandy Hadrontherapy SAS has previously been reduced to EUR 0 (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).

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 (EUR per share) | -0.0657 | -0.0589 |
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 2021 and 2022, 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.

In 2022, the group mainly invested in general asset maintenance and in the research and development facility. The largest part of additions to Right of Use assets relates to the lease of new vehicles. The goodwill increases with an amount of EUR 8.3 million following acquisition of Modus Medical Devices Inc. based in Canada.
An intangible of EUR 0.6 million has been temporarily recognized for the backlog acquired. In line with the IFRS standards, a more detailed allocation of the purchase price will be prepared within one year of the acquisition.
The loss for the 6-month period ending June 30, 2022 (unaudited) 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 2022 interim condensed financial statements.

The other long-term assets have slightly increased compared to December 31, 2021 (audited).
The main driver of the increase is a long-term receivable acquired as part of the dissolution of the Temporary Association with Mantovani (EUR 2.5 million). The receivable will be fully collected by 2028. This results in minor impacts in the income statements including the receipts of interests, the unwinding of the discounted asset and the net expected net gain
Work in progress relates to production of inventory for which a customer has not yet been secured, while contracts in progress (note from the negotiation with the curator of Mantovani
IBA also recognised a long term receivable for EUR 1 million being retained by a customer for the construction of a building on a Proton Therapy project.

For the purpose of the interim condensed consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents are comprised of the following:

At June 30, 2022 (unaudited), the restricted cash represents cash that Management has repatriated, a EUR 7.3 million payment from its Russian subsidiary. Given the current environment, the Belgian authorities have temporarily blocked these moneys as part of a review measure under the current embargo environment. These moneys are held on an account that is legally held and controlled by IBA. Based on a detailed analysis, including with outside council, Management believes that they can respond to any inquiries from the authorities and have these funds unblocked within a reasonable timeframe for cash and cash equivalents, therefore Management concluded that they have a documented and reasonable basis to account for these funds under cash and cash equivalents.

Until the end of June 2021, IBA managed its pension plans through Insurance company Intégrale (now Monument Re). Given this entity started having solvency problems and in the end was put under supervision of the National Bank of Belgium, IBA prepared a transfer of its pension assets and moved to AG per the 1st of July 2021. For a variety of reasons, the effective transfer of the plan assets occurred several months later. In addition, management opted to account for the change in fair value of the plan asset at the same time of the effective transfer. As the result of the above, the plan changes were accounted for as January 1st 2022.
The Intégrale Defined Contribution plans were converted into Cash Balance plans; this was necessary to be able to continue guaranteeing the same conditions for the employees, both the actives and the inactives. A consequence of this change-over to a cash balance plan was that the plan return is guaranteed up until the retirement age, for all past and present employees included in the plan.
The effect of the transfer of the plan is reported in the June 2022 numbers as the transfer of the plan was only finalized early 2022. The P&L impact amounts to around EUR 2 million, which is composed of the normal budget premiums (the standard contributions) for an amount of around EUR 0.7 million and a past service cost of EUR 1.3 million. The latter, a one-off impact, is triggered by the fact that additional guarantees until retirement have been granted to all employees, actives and inactives, see previous paragraph and has been recognised in other operating expenses (note 6.13). The pension provision as such decreased significantly, with EUR 3.4 million, mainly because of the increased discount factor used to discount both the plan assets and the defined benefit obligation. Both these components of the provision increased though, the first as a result of the additional contributions made (EUR 2.5 million), the latter because of the inclusion of the obligation for the inactive ('deferred') population (EUR 2 million). The inclusion of the deferred population largely explains the impact that is shown in OCI (EUR 2.9 million).
The provisions for warranties have increased as the utilisations (EUR 0.6 million) and reversals (EUR -0.5 million) in relation to Proton therapy and other accelerators were lower than the additional provisions made during the period (EUR 2.1 million).
The other provisions mainly include, similar to the prior period, a provision for loss-making contracts.

The contract with CGN, explained in detail in the Group consolidated financial statements for 2020, contains an element of variable consideration in the form of an unconditional and irrevocable performance bond linked to the execution of certain contractual obligations related to the transfer of the license. The customer can draw upon this bond for a maximum value of EUR 15 million. Considering the facts and circumstances of the agreement, IBA's management is of the view that uncertainty associated with the exercise of the performance bond by the customer constitutes a constraint on the recognition of the variable consideration, as the amount of variable consideration is highly susceptible to factors outside the entity's influence (i.e., it depends on action of a third party). Accordingly, the amount of consideration subject to the performance bond (EUR 15 million) was recognized as a refund liability until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. It was reduced with EUR 5 million in 2021, and it has been mutually agreed to reduce it further to EUR 5 million in December 2022 in the event of no claim. At the very latest the bond will expire at the earliest of the shipment of the equipment
components or 48 months from the effective date of the agreement (August 25, 2024).
The "Other" payable at June 30, 2022 (unaudited) includes advances of EUR 1.8 million received from the Walloon Region of Belgium and other miscellaneous payable amounting to EUR 0.3 million.

Overview
The resurgence in the proton therapy market has continued throughout 2022 and IBA has maintained its market leading position with a 60% market share, selling four new systems across Europe, the US and China (through CGNNT). Alongside this, there has been a strong acceleration in backlog conversion in spite of some remaining travel difficulties as a result of ongoing pandemic restrictions. There are currently 24 projects under production or installation (including CGNNT), consisting of nine Proteus®PLUS and 15 Proteus®ONE systems and the pipeline remains highly active with several leads across key geographic regions.
PT Services continued to perform strongly with 11% growth. There are now 38 IBA PT sites generating service revenues worldwide with the first patients being treated at Taipei Proton Therapy Center and Kansas University Medical Center during the period and backlog remains very high at EUR 661 million, decreasing versus last year partly as a result of the bankruptcy of the Rutherford centers in the UK. Services remain an increasingly important recurrent revenue stream for IBA, providing us with visibility on sustainable profitable growth.
IBA is looking at ways to better support customers with the infrastructure element of proton therapy projects. In March, a partnership agreement was signed with Tractebel, a global engineering company, to support IBA's customers through the design and building of their proton therapy projects.
Investment in technological advancements to drive the future growth of PT is a key priority for IBA and we continue to collaborate with key partners to continue to accelerate this. In 2022 to date IBA has made significant progress with its ConformalFLASH® technology. In April, a four-year collaboration was signed with University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) to investigate the potential of the technology for the treatment of early-stage breast cancer.
In June, the ConformalFLASH® Alliance was launched to accelerate the delivery of the technology to patients. The Alliance is the first collaboration of its kind between academia and industry. A further collaboration on the technology was recently announced, involving IBA, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and the University of Washington. As part of the agreement, IBA will equip the proton therapy system and the proton gantry treatment room at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center with ConformalFLASH® research functionality, which will enable preclinical research on FLASH therapy.
Elsewhere, DynamicARC® developments are ongoing at Beaumont Proton Therapy Center. A recent presentation by UMCG at PTCOG showed an increased relevance for PT when using DynamicARC® for head and neck cancers.
IBA is also moving forward in hadron therapy using carbon ions through its subsidiary Normandy Hadrontherapy (NHa) which is currently installing the 400 MeV (megaelectron-volts) multi-particle superconducting isochronous cyclotron in Caen, France.
The company has an ongoing commitment to education and promoting the next steps for proton therapy and hosted its latest Proteus User Meeting in June in Belgium. This year's event gathered 163 participants, representing more than 60 clinical institutions from 17 countries and key industrial partners like Elekta and RaySearch, providing an opportunity to share knowledge and insights.
The importance of training and education is a key aspect of the way IBA relates to its customers. Post-period end, IBA signed a collaboration agreement with Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd, to provide proton therapy training and education programs for IBA customers in Asia.
Finally, post-period end, in August, IBA became the only proton therapy equipment supplier to qualify for the second round of a significant public tender launched by the Spanish Ministry of Health to equip the country with ten additional proton therapy units.
Order intake in the Other Accelerators business was very strong in the first half with 21 systems sold in H1 globally. A further system has also been sold after the end of the period and the pipeline is highly active. Backlog conversion saw a slowdown, however, as a result of ongoing pandemic restrictions and supply chain challenges coupled with the nature of the long lead times. Some of the timing issues are expected to be resolved in the coming months, which should result in an increase in installations. While nine installations started during the period, 18 are expected to start in the second half. The services part of the business continued to perform well, growing by 4%.
The growth of Industrial Solutions is global and is mainly driven by sterilization requirements for Disposable Medical Devices and Bio-Processors, growing from 7 to 10% per year. Today ~90% of this industry relies on two sterilization modalities: ethylene oxide (EtO) (~50%) and Gamma (~40%). Gamma is under supply pressure due to the closure of several nuclear reactors around the world, resulting in a significant shortage and a strong increase in lead times and prices. Ethylene oxide has been adversely affected by toxicity issues and several site closures due to the detection of residues.
These issues have meant that the sterilization market has needed to find alternative solutions like X-ray and electron beam sterilization that are enabled by the IBA Rhodotron®. This is driving increased order volumes which are up strongly and creating an exciting opportunity for the future growth of this business.
Radiopharmaceutical market demand has also continued to increase and IBA continued to collaborate with NorthStar to install beam lines to produce isotopes using a high-energy Ebeam accelerator.
Over the last few years, the increasing demand for diagnosis solutions and theranostics has driven sales of radiopharmaceutical accelerators. In January, IBA launched a new low-energy and compact-size cyclotron, the Cyclone® KEY. This new machine is enabling small and medium-sized hospitals to produce their own radiopharmaceutical products inhouse, whilst providing more widespread global access, particularly in emerging countries, to diagnostic solutions in oncology, neurology and cardiology.
IBA also sold a high-energy Cyclone® IKON in China, confirming the strong world-wide interest in the production of new isotopes for medical applications
The strategic R&D partnership with SCK CEN (Belgian Nuclear Research Center) to enable the production of Actinium-225 (225-AC) continues with several technological achievements and strategic milestones currently in progress.

Group revenue in the period was EUR 160 million, a 17% increase from H1 2021, largely driven by strong order intake and improved backlog conversion, in spite of ongoing macro challenges. Order intake has been very high across all business units in 2022, particularly driven by the increasing adoption of E-beam/Xray solutions for sterilization. Backlog conversion remains somewhat impacted by COVID-19 restrictions, particularly in the Other Accelerators business but an increase in installations is expected in the second half of the year, with the number of installations starting over the period expected to double vs H1.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 39.1% (H1 2021: 32.9%), with the improvement driven strongly by product mix, forex gains on operations in USD and the one-off recognition of indemnities following the Rutherford bankruptcy. The 31% increase in operating expenses reflects a rise in activity and large investments for future growth and also reflects the many current macro-economic challenges, alongside increasing levels of inflation. Sales and marketing activities have started to return to pre-pandemic levels as restrictions have North America and added one of the most comprehensive dosimetry QA "phantom" offerings on the market
In March, IBA and Elekta signed a collaborative agreement to optimize QA solutions. Radiation therapy departments and clinics using Elekta's treatment delivery systems will now be able to benefit from QA solutions that are designed for these devices by streamlining workflows and improving access to measurement data.
Post-period end, IBA continued to strengthen its position in the Dosimetry market with the announcement of a strategic alliance with ScandiDos under which IBA subscribed to the company's entire new share issue, acquiring 9.1% of the company. This collaboration will also include, but will not be limited to, distribution of products in selected markets, marketing efforts and product development.
eased worldwide, enabling travel and business congresses. G&A and R&D experienced peaks as the Group utilized high cash reserves to invest heavily in supply chain reinforcement, infrastructure and new developments for future growth such as digitalization projects and product lifecycle management, but also to face more demanding compliance requirements such as the European Medical Device Regulation, with a significant number of new hires.
The recurring operating profit before interest and taxes (REBIT) line stood at EUR 4.6 million (H1 2021: EUR 0.7 million), driven by the revenue increase and margin improvement, somewhat offset by the increase in operating expenses detailed above.
Other operating loss of EUR 2.4 million included mainly share-based payment plan costs, the adjustment of past service costs on pension funds and some write-offs. The net financial loss of EUR 1.9 million predominantly included net interest expenses and forex and hedging impacts in particular on the USD, CNY and RUB.
As a result of the above, IBA reported a net loss of EUR 1.7 million (H1 2021: net loss EUR 1.9 million).
Operating cash flow generated was EUR 25.2 million, up strongly from EUR 11.2 million last year affected by large down payments from customers and commitments to suppliers in order to secure inventory.
Cash flow used in investing activities was EUR 11 million driven by increasing acquisition of assets as part of infrastructure and R&D investments, as well as by the acquisition of Modus.
IBA's strong performance across all business lines has continued throughout 2022. Order intake has rapidly accelerated across the business and our pipeline remains extremely active, particularly in the US and Asia. Looking ahead, we see the potential for order intake to further accelerate, especially in the Proton Therapy and Sterilization businesses, further bolstering our high backlog and providing us with great visibility for future growth. In addition, our strong balance sheet will support us as we seek value-enhancing opportunities to further drive sustainable growth. We have launched a extensive investment plan to bolster our infrastructure, supply chain and logistics, reinforce our digital ambitions and continue to maintain our market-leading technology.
Although the Group is in a strong position, there remain several challenging external factors, which imply that caution is warranted. The
Cash flow used in financing activities was EUR 11.8 million, which included repayments on financial borrowings and the acquisition of treasury shares.
The balance sheet continued to remain strong, with a record gross cash position at period end of EUR 202 million and a net cash position of EUR 137 million. IBA has EUR 37 million undrawn short-term credit lines still available and all bank covenants have been complied with.
geopolitical situation in Europe remains complex and has resulted in supply chain and inflationary pressures for businesses around the globe. IBA is managing these issues proactively, expanding its roster of suppliers, increasing its manufacturing capacity and enhancing its logistics operations through internal hires and external partners and updating contracts with customers where necessary, however, there is uncertainty with regards to how the situation will continue to unfold.
The nature of IBA's business is such that it operates in long cycles and as a result of this and the above factors it is not practicable to give detailed financial guidance until there is more clarity and predictability. As soon as IBA is able to provide reliable guidance to the market it will do so.

On the occasion of the 2022 Annual General Meeting, the following mandates were renewed at the level of the management of the Company:
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.
