NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – BASIS OF PREPARATION

1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of IBA cover the six months ended June 30, 2020. 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, 2019.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES

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 31 December 2019, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2020.

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 2020, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of a Business

The amendment to IFRS 3 clarifies that to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Furthermore, it clarified that a business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, but may impact future periods should the Group enter into any business combinations.

Amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 9 and IAS 39: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

The amendments to IFRS 9 and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement provide a number of reliefs, which apply to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected if the reform gives rise to uncertainties about the timing and or amount of benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group as it does not have any interest rate hedge relationships.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material

The amendments provide a new definition of material that states "information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity." The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, either individually or in combination with other information, in the context of the financial statements. A misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of, nor is there expected to be any future impact to the Group.

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued on 29 March 2018

The Conceptual Framework is not a standard, and none of the concepts contained therein override the concepts or requirements in any standard. The purpose of the Conceptual Framework is to assist the IASB indeveloping standards, to help preparers develop consistent accounting policies where there is no applicable standard in place and to assist all parties to understand and interpret the standards. The revised Conceptual Framework includes some new concepts, provides updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Amendment to IFRS 16 Leases Covid 19-Related Rent Concessions

On 28 May 2020, the IASB issued Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions - amendment to IFRS 16 Leases (the amendment). The IASB amended the standard to provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic.

1.2 TRANSLATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS

1.3 Current and expected impact of the COVID-19 situation on the financial position, performance and cash-flows.

IBA has put measures in place to protect the health and wellbeing of its employees and other key stakeholders, especially its customers and their patients, while remaining focused on ensuring business critical activities are properly maintained.

  • ➢ Backlog conversion into revenue was affected by COVID-19 in all businesses, and particularly in Proton Therapy, with several projects, particularly in Asia, delayed by several months. Activity in the Other accelerators business was also affected by the pandemic as installations have been delayed to H2 and in some cases to 2021
  • ➢ No new order intake was recorded in Proton Therapy in the first half of 2020, despite an encouraging pipeline of new opportunities in all regions
  • ➢ There was no major impact on customer services as all active proton therapy centers remain fully operational and continue to treat patients
  • ➢ Manufacturing and supply chain have remained fully operational and in constant contact with IBA's global network of key suppliers and manufacturing partners, identifying potential risks in time and taking appropriate measures to ensure minimal disruption to production and delivery

The analysis of the impact of the COVID- 19 pandemic on IBA's financial position and cash-flow is summarized below:

1.3.1 Liquidity

Despite the difficult situation induced by the pandemic, thanks to a cost saving program launched early into the pandemic, prudent investments and spending 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, 2020.

IBA has applied for certain support measures issued by governments or other public institutions and in particular, the possibility to postpone the repayment of some bank borrowings by 6 months in Belgium, temporary unemployment measures in Belgium and Germany to cope with a drop in activity mainly related to installation delays and support activities and access to loans under the Paycheck Protection Program in the USA.

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, 2020.

1.3.2 Goodwill impairment

The Company has performed an impairment test of goodwill, which led to no impairment being necessary as of 30 June 2020, despite the uncertainty in the business outlook generated by the pandemic. Goodwill is allocated to the CGU Dosimetry and this CGU was not impacted by COVID-19 as at June 30, 2020.

1.3.3 Tangible and intangible assets, Other Investments and Other Long-Term Financial Assets

IBA has assessed that the COVID-19 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.

1.3.4 Deferred taxes

As of 30 June 2020, the recoverability of deferred tax assets has been assessed based on the latest information available and resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. This has not led to any impairment of deferred tax assets related to losses carried forward.

1.3.5 Hedge accounting

The Company has maintained its hedge accounting policies as defined in the 2019 year-end financial statements. As IBA has not identified any trigger for hedge disqualification due to COVID-19, the financial result has not been impacted as at June 30, 2020. The company will continue to review its positions going forward to identify any potential new trigger for hedge disqualification.

1.3.6 Expected credit loss

The Company has also considered the impact of COVID-19 pandemic 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 2020. As a result of this review no significant credit losses have been recorded in the first half-year 2020.

In June 2019, IBA ownership in Normandy Hadrontherapy SAS changed following the agreement signed to transfer intellectual property to this entity to further develop Hadrontherapy. IBA retains 39.81% (100% as at December 31, 2018) of this entity following financing by several public and private investors. This entity was a subsidiary until 2018 and is since June 2019 accounted as an equity accounted investment.

IBA does not account for its share of the loss in Cyclhad SAS above the value of its investment (no commitment to participate in any potential future capital increase).

2.3 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND OTHER CHANGES IN THE COMPOSITION OF IBA GROUP

2.3.1 ACQUISITIONS OF COMPANIES

There were no acquisition during the 6 first months of 2020.

2.3.2 DISPOSAL OF COMPANIES

There were no disposal during the 6 first months of 2020.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom 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.

3.1 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In 2018, IBA had announced that it had decided to explore new strategic alternatives for IBA Dosimetry and following the announcement, IBA initiated a disposal process and determined that all criteria of IFRS 5 had been met in order to present the assets and liabilities of IBA Dosimetry as held for sale and its result as discontinued operations in its 2018 annual report and 2019 interim report.

On December 17, 2019, IBA announced that it had sold RadioMed Corporation ("RadioMed"), IBA's VISICOIL™ fiducial markers business, to IZI Medical Products LLC, a leading interventional medical device company.

This concluded the strategic exercise with the decision to retain the remainder of the Dosimetry division within IBA Group. With the continued growth of the radiotherapy and proton therapy markets, which require strong dosimetry capabilities, the Board concluded that the retention of the remaining component of the Dosimetry division provides the most compelling strategic rationale for the Company and its stakeholders. As only a part of the dosimetry segment was sold, which does not on its own meet the definition of discontinued operations, the income statement has been represented in order to show all transactions as continuing operations in these IFRS interim condensed consolidated financial statements for both periods ending June 30 (2019 and 2020).

3.2 INCOME TAX – DEFERRED TAX

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.

The June 30, 2020 income statement was positively impacted by the increase of German usable tax losses carried forward by EUR 0.90 million and the decrease of deferred tax liabilities on temporary differences for EUR 0.03 million partially compensated by the decrease of deferred tax assets on temporary differences in the United-States for EUR -0.35 million.

As at June 30, 2020, the Group had accumulated net operating losses of EUR 152.2 million usable to offset future profits taxable mainly in Belgium, Germany and in Russia, temporary differences for deferred tax assets amounting to EUR 8.5 million mainly in the United States, in China and in Germany and temporary differences for deferred tax liabilities amounting to EUR -4.2 million mainly in Germany, in China and in Singapore. The Company recognized deferred tax assets of EUR 5.37 million with a view to use the tax losses carried forward and EUR 2.15 million as temporary differences.

The negative result of June 30, 2020 does not significantly affect the existing budgeted plan of Germany entities for which a deferred tax asset of EUR 5.23 million is recognized on usable tax losses carried forward and there is therefore no indicator that would trigger the reassessment of the deferred tax assets.

3.3 REVENUE RECOGNITION

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.

(a) Equipment and installation considered as one performance obligation

As indicated in the accounting policies section, IBA assessed that its promises under the equipment and the installation services is to transfer a combined item to which the equipment and the installation are inputs but they do not represent separate performance obligations.

(b) Estimating the progress under the equipment and installation services contract

The Group recognises 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 recognises the revenue of the contract based on the progress estimated in percentage.

3.4 ESTIMATING THE VALUE IN USE OF INTANGIBLE AND TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

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 negative result of June 30, 2020 does not significantly affect the existing budgeted plan and there is therefore no indicator that would trigger an impairment test as of June 30, 2020.

3.5 LOCAL TAXES IN COUNTRIES OTHER THAN BELGIUM

In 2015, the Company initiated an analysis on the Group exposure in countries other than Belgium to be potentially obliged to pay certain local taxes whereas the payment of those taxes has been transferred to the Group's customers. Exposure identified as of December 31, 2015, was reduced as a result of further investigation performed in 2016 and 2017. Based on the data available, it is still not possible to make a reliable estimate of the remaining exposure and therefore no provision has been accrued for in the Group financial statements.

3.6 DETERMINING THE LEASE TERM OF CONTRACTS WITH RENEWAL AND TERMINATION OPTIONS – Group as lessee

The Group determines the lease term as the noncancellable 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.

3.7 LEASES – ESTIMATING THE INCREMENTAL BORROWING RATE

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 entity-specific estimates (such as the subsidiary's stand-alone credit rating).

3.8 FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The assets and liabilities of the Group are valued as follows:

At December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020, 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 from third companies, depending on the evolution of its strategy. Equity investments included in ''Other investments'' relate primarily to Rutherford Estates Limited (previously Proton Partners International (PPI)) for which a loss of EUR 0.9 million has been recorded in the other comprehensive income (Level 1 since 2019 following introduction on a listed market) and HIL Applied Medical Ltd (Level 2).

3.9 CATEGORIES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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.

  • ➢ Level 1 : fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • ➢ Level 2 : fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
  • ➢ Level 3 : fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques for which the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

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, 2020.

New financial instruments were acquired and are classified in level 2.

3.10 Expected credit loss

As at June 30,2020, no significant credit losses have been recorded by the Group on its financial instruments (mainly loans, trade and other receivables (short-term nd 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 2020.

4. OPERATING SEGMENTS

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:

  • ➢ Operating segment-based information (Level 1);
  • ➢ Entity wide disclosure information (Level 2) not presented in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

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.
  • 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, 2020, Group revenue was EUR 109.7 million, a 14.3% decrease from 2019 (2019: EUR 128.1 million), primarily composed of:

  • ➢ revenues for the Proton Therapy and Other Accelerators segment of EUR 85.5 million, an decrease of -16.8% from 2019 (2019: EUR 102.8 million) explained by weakness in the PT equipment revenue line as a result of delays associated with the ongoing pandemic partially compensated by continued strong growth in Services
  • ➢ revenues for the Dosimetry segment of EUR 24.2 million, a -4.3% decrease from 2019 (2019: EUR 25.3 million) explained by the exclusion of Radiomed sales in 2020 following the disposal of this business in Q4 2020 and by the effects of COVID that are delaying backlog conversion. On a like-for-like basis, analyzing Dosimetry revenues without Radiomed, they increased by 3% compared to 2019. Order intake remained strong, up 17% from the previous year

As at June 30, 2020, Group gross margin remained quite flat compared to last year, despite the effects of the pandemic.

As at June 30, 2020, Group operating expenses were EUR 44.9 million, a -2.2% decrease from 2019 (2019: EUR 45.9 million). This decrease is explained:

➢ by continuing strong cost control measures and careful spending whilst maintaining strategic R&D investment to maintain IBA's technological leadership in all business lines

As at June 30, 2020, the other operating result (expenses) was EUR -0.49 million (2019: EUR 1.64 million income), primarily composed of:

  • ➢ reorganizational costs incurred in early 2020 as part of the ongoing efficiency measures for EUR - 0.23 million, costs related to specific projects for EUR -0.17 million for the Proton Therapy and Other Accelerators segment
  • ➢ sale price adjustment (Working capital) on the disposal of RadioMed for EUR -0.09 million for the Dosimetry segment

As at June 30, 2020, the financial result (expenses) was EUR -0.68 million (2019: EUR -0.92 million expenses), primarily composed of:

  • ➢ interest paid on debts for EUR -1.07 million, commission/bank charges for EUR -0.34 million and other financial expenses for EUR -0.13 million partially compensated by interest revenues in relation to proton therapy projects for EUR 0.42 million and net foreign exchange differences for EUR 0.58 million for the Proton Therapy and Other Accelerators segment
  • ➢ interest paid on debts for EUR -0.06 million and commission, bank charges for EUR -0.08 million for the Dosimetry segment

As at June 30, 2020, the share of the loss of equityaccounted entities included costs from IBA's minority interest in Normandy Hadrontherapy.

5.2 DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

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 2014, the Company had two categories of potential dilutive ordinary shares: stock options and the SRIW reverse convertible bond. Since end 2015, the Company has only one category of potential dilutive ordinary shares: 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 June 30, 2019 June 30, 2020
Weighted average number of ordinary shares 29 448 157 29 598 776
Average share price over period 13.87 9.13
Weighted average diluted shares 50 207 0
Weighted average number of ordinary shares for diluted earnings per share 29 498 364 29 598 776
Earnings attributable to parent equity holders (EUR 000) -5 317 -12 043
Diluted earnings per share from continuing and discontinued operations (EUR per share) -0.1806 -0.4069
Earnings from continuing operations attributable to parent equity holders (EUR 000) -5 317 -12 043
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (EUR per share) -0.1806 -0.4069
Earnings from discontinued operations attributable to parent equity holders (EUR 000) 0.000 0.000
Diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations (EUR per share) 0.000 0.000

(*) 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).

6. OTHER SELECTED DISCLOSURES

6.1 SEASONALITY OR CYCLICALITY OF INTERIM OPERATIONS

IBA's business is not subject to any seasonal or cyclical effect.

6.2 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On July 20, 2018, IBA announced that it has decided to explore new strategic alternatives for IBA Dosimetry which could include a sale, merger, initial public offering, or retention of the business. Following the announcement, IBA initiated a disposal process and as of December 31, 2018 it has determined that all criteria of IFRS 5 have been met in order to present the assets and liabilities IBA Dosimetry as held-for-sale.

Consequently, IBA presented those assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position on a separate line items as "Assets held-for-sale" and "Liabilities directly related to assets held-for-sale" as of December 31, 2018.

As IBA Dosimetry was presented as a separate operating segment, management concluded that it also meets the criteria of discontinued operations until June 2019.

On December 17, 2019, IBA announced that it had sold RadioMed Corporation ("RadioMed"), IBA's VISICOIL™ fiducial markers business, to IZI Medical Products LLC, a leading interventional medical device company in a deal that is worth between USD 14 and 16 million to IBA. Following this disposal, IBA decided to retain the remainder of the Dosimetry segment which continued to perform strongly in the second half of 2019. With the continued growth of the radiotherapy and proton therapy markets, which require strong dosimetry capabilities, the Board concluded that the retention of the remaining component of the Dosimetry division provides the most compelling strategic rationale for the Company and its stakeholders.

Consequently, IBA is not presenting these assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position of this IFRS interim condensed consolidated financial statements on a separate line items as "Assets held-forsale" and "Liabilities directly related to assets held-forsale" for both comparative periods.

As only a part of the dosimetry segment has been sold and does not on its own meet the definition of discontinued operations, the income statement has been represented in order to show all transactions as continuing operations for the periods ending June 30, 2019 and 2020 in these IFRS interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

1 Including 2 subordinated loans and 1 bond for EUR 17.14 million from S.R.I.W. and 1 subordinated bond of EUR 5 million from S.F.P.I. at June 2020.

In December 2019, IBA successfully closed a refinancing, extending the average maturity of the Group's indebtedness, while maintaining an adequate level of flexibility to accommodate for short-term working capital fluctuations.

To this effect, the refinancing transactions included the following:

  • ➢ An extension of the repayment profile of the S.R.I.W. and S.F.P.I. subordinated bonds to December 2026 (7 years maturity)
  • ➢ The signature by IBA SA as borrower of EUR 67 million syndicated facilities with 5 leading Belgian and international banks, comprising (i) a EUR 30 million amortizing term loan (5 years maturity) (EUR 9 million drawn as at December 31, 2019) and (ii) EUR 37 million revolving credit facilities (3 years, with extension options up to 5 years) (no amount drawn as at December 31, 2019)
  • ➢ The cancellation of the then-existing short-term credit lines (which amounted to EUR 67 million and was reduced to EUR 37 million in September 2019)
  • ➢ The prepayment of the then-outstanding EUR 3 million investment loan as at December 31, 2019

Bank and other borrowings

As at June 30, 2020, the bank and other borrowings include unsecured subordinated bonds from S.R.I.W. for a total of EUR 17.14 million (EUR 17.14 million in 2019), an unsecured subordinated bond from S.F.P.I. for EUR 5 million (unchanged), unsecured treasury notes for EUR 5.25 million (unchanged), a 5-year term loan for EUR 28.5 million (EUR 9 million in 2019), a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program in the US for EUR 4.47 million and used overdraft facilities in India for EUR 2.13 million.

As at June 30, 2020, the Group also benefits from unused revolving (short term) credit facilities for EUR 37 million and unused overdraft facilities in India and China for EUR 4.59 million.

As detailed above, new borrowings related to a EUR 21.0 million drawdown under the new EUR 30 million 5 year term loan, a EUR 4.47 million loan under the Paycheck Protection Program in the US and a EUR 2.13 million drawdown on a overdraft facility in India.

Repayment of borrowings of EUR 1.5 million under the 5-years term loan was made during the 6 first months of 2020.

S.R.I.W. and S.F.P.I.

The S.R.I.W. and S.F.P.I. are two leading Belgian public investment funds (respectively, at regional and federal levels).

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 IBA SA's level of equity, which was met as at December 31, 2019.

Bank credit facilities

As outlined above, the existing bank facilities at the level of IBA SA were refinanced by EUR 67 million syndicated facilities comprising (i) a EUR 30 million amortizing term loan (5 years maturity) and (ii) EUR 37 million revolving credit facilities (3 years, with extension options up to 5 years).

The financial covenants applying to these facilities consist of (a) a maximum net senior 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 December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020.

In addition, the bank overdraft facility in India (borrower: IBA Particle Therapy India Private Limited) was maintained at INR 220 million and its maturity extended to 2020 in order to support local working capital fluctuations. As at June 30, 2020, INR 180 million of this bank overdraft facility has been used (undrawn as of December 31, 2019).

In 2019, a new bank overdraft facility has been set up in China (borrower: Ion Beam Applications Co. Ltd.) for the same reason, for an amount of CNY 35 million (undrawn as of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020).

Treasury notes

In February 2016, IBA issued 5-year treasury notes for a total amount of EUR 5.75 million. An amount of EUR 0.50 million was repaid to one noteholder in 2018 and the remaining outstanding amount of EUR 5.25 million will be repaid in one single instalment in February 2021. The financial covenants applying to these treasury notes apply to (i.e. a maximum net senior leverage ratio, a maximum gearing ratio and a minimum interest cover ratio) and are verified on an annual basis. They were complied with at December 31, 2019.

Available credit facilities

As at June 30, 2020, the Group has at its disposal credit facilities up to EUR 104.37 million of which 59.9% are used to date.

Total net sales for Proton Therapy and Other Accelerators were down 16.8% in the first half to EUR 85.5 million, due to delays and restrictions related to COVID-19. There were no new orders for PT equipment over the first half of 2020 as a result of delays with finalizing contracts. The restrictions from COVID-19 also meant that backlog conversion has been delayed as site construction and installation were slowed down in varying proportions due to lockdown measures and travel restrictions. In particular, project installations and upgrades were affected in Asia and

the USA. As a result of these effects REBIT for the division fell to EUR -11.2 million, a drop of 56% versus last year.

In spite of the pandemic, IBA's unparalleled expertise in particle acceleration and ability to execute enabled the Group to be selected for a four-room contract in China, with final negotiations in progress. The Chinese Government has also announced an encouraging increase in proton therapy licenses in China from 10 to 16 this year, increasing strongly the number of potential new treatment centers. In addition, IBA was highlighted as the number one vendor for single and multi-room configurations in a technical evaluation by Unicancer, creating new sales opportunities for IBA in France.

Discussions are ongoing for various other potential opportunities in all regions and IBA's continued focus on innovation and seamless and faster execution will continue to be a core driver for success in the tendering process as well as IBA's ability to improve margins.

IBA continues to work diligently to advance proton therapy, in close collaboration with its customers, and through R&D partnerships. This is based upon the technological roadmap of IBA, which is focused on three areas: Motion Management, Arc Therapy and FLASH Irradiation. IBA is also integrating the most advanced capabilities of partners such as Elekta, Philips and RaySearch, and leveraging their recent developments to offer the most sophisticated proton treatment and to assist the Group in driving innovation and growth. This integration results in unequalled performance in terms of quality of treatment functionality, workflow and automation.

In addition, the UMCG Proton Therapy Center in Groningen published in the Radiotherapy & Oncology journal1 its first experience with model-based selection of head and neck cancer patients for proton therapy. The outcome is promising as 35% of the head and neck cancer patients treated with radiation, qualify for protons and these patients have the highest probability to benefit from protons in terms of toxicity prevention.

Encouragingly, momentum in IBA's Other Accelerators division continued in line with 2019 growth despite COVID-19, with five systems sold and a sixth accelerator post-period end, confirming IBA's market leadership in this segment.

The success of RadioPharma solutions is largely due to the IBA's Cyclone® KIUBE cyclotron, which offers the highest production capacity enabling increased diagnostic capabilities. This cyclotron produces the widest range of radioisotopes, enabling it to produce fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG, the most commonly used radiopharmaceutical for cancer diagnosis), Gallium-68 for the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors, and Copper-64 for a more accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer.

IBA's unique and innovative Rhodotron® continues to create strong interest in the market as this solution allows customers to sterilize medical devices either by e-beam or x-ray and enables the industry to break its dependency on chemical or radioactive-based sterilization processes.

The development of the new Rhodotron® TT300 HE electron beam accelerator for production of the radioisotope molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) is progressing well and is in testing in Louvain-la-Neuve.

Services also continued to perform extremely well, noting a 14% increase versus the prior year and more than 19% for Proton Therapy alone. Services now account for more than half the revenue in the business unit. Equipment and Services backlog remains at an alltime high of EUR 1.1 billion.

IBA's commitment to Group wide cost control initiatives meant that operating expenses for the period were down overall, despite inflation. Gross margin was maintained at the same level as last year, which is encouraging given the current situation, with a small improvement in some areas.

The prudent cash conversion strategies have resulted in a strong balance sheet, with a positive net cash position. This careful management of costs enables IBA to continue making strategic investments in R&D.

* Dosimetry numbers re-integrated, following the decision in 2019 to retain the business. 2019 numbers include figures for the RadioMed business which was sold end of 2019

Dosimetry had a strong first half despite effects of COVID-19 slightly delaying backlog conversion versus expectations. In addition, last year numbers included sales from the RadioMed business that was divested at the end of 2019. On a like-for-like basis excluding RadioMed numbers in 2019, the Dosimetry business shows growth of around 3%.

Order intake remained exceptionally strong, up 17% from the previous year, resulting in net sales of EUR 24.2 million (HY 2019 EUR 25.3 million). The Dosimetry division also continues to gain market share in quality assurance and conventional radio therapy and confirmed its dominant leadership in dosimetry for proton therapy.

REBIT dropped by EUR 1.5 million against the previous year, mostly due to the sale of the RadioMed business but partially offset by strong cost controls, resulting in a REBIT margin of 5.1% (HY 2019: 9.3.%). IBA continues to invest in both hardware and software innovations. Dosimetry backlog remained at a high of EUR 22.1 million.

myQA iON, the unique Patient QA software solution for proton therapy, is now FDA approved (post-period end).

Financial review

As previously communicated, given the decision taken in December 2019 to retain the Dosimetry business in the Group, this business segment was reconsolidated into Group numbers as of the FY19 year end. The prior year figures include the RadioMed business which was sold end of 2019.

Group first half revenues were EUR 109.7 million, down 14.3% on the same period last year (HY 2019: EUR 128.1 million). The decline was predominantly due to the delays as a result of the pandemic, with no new order intake in PT in the first half. There were also ongoing delays in the installation of projects and upgrades, which strongly impacted the conversion of backlog in the PT equipment revenue line.

All other revenue lines had solid performance in the period with Dosimetry down slightly to EUR 24.2 million (HY 2019: EUR 25.3 million), with no more RadioMed sales in the 2020 numbers but maintaining high order intake, up 17% from 2019 to EUR 28.5 million. Other Accelerators had a good order intake in spite of COVID-19 with six systems in the year to date and equipment revenues up 1.2%. The Services business continues to grow, up 14% versus prior year, with 19% growth for PT alone.

Gross margin was flat year on year with a slight improvement in some areas despite the effects of the pandemic.

The reduction in revenues drove a REBIT loss before interest and taxes of EUR 9.9 million (HY 2019: EUR - 4.4 million). The Group has however maintained strong cost control measures to mitigate the loss, whilst allowing for strategic investment, with operating expenses down 2.2% versus last year in spite of inflation.

Other operating expense in the year was EUR 0.5 million (HY 2019: EUR 1.6 million), mostly stemming from reorganizational costs in parts of the business.

As a result of the above, IBA reported a net loss of EUR 12 million compared to a net loss of EUR 5.3 million in HY 2019.

Operating cash flow during H1 2020 increased to EUR 27.3 million (HY 2019: EUR 3.3 million). The strong improvement was a result of careful working capital management, with close follow-up of receivables, prudent cost control and controlled spending on production inventory while ensuring timely delivery on all ongoing projects.

Cash flow used in investing was negative EUR 1.8 million against an outflow of EUR 8.8 million in the same period last year that was related to the investment in the development of hadron therapy.

Cash flow generated from financing was EUR 24 million (HY 2019 outflow EUR 12.8 million) and mostly stemmed from the drawdown on the EUR 30 million 5 year amortizing term loan negotiated at the end of last year.

The balance sheet further strengthened in the period with the Group reporting a net cash position at 30 June 2020 of EUR 3.8 million versus net debt of EUR 21.3 million at the end of last year. The gross cash position was very high at EUR 95.9 million.

The Company complied with its bank covenants at the end of the period and currently has EUR 37 million available in undrawn revolving credit lines.

COVID-19

The global pandemic and associated lockdown restrictions have had a significant impact on IBA's Proton Therapy equipment revenue line with existing project installations across several territories being delayed as a result of travel restrictions and regional lockdowns, which are resulting in logistical challenges for the completion of projects or sales. The issues are essentially related to customer construction delays on certain sites, the inability to deploy full teams on installation sites due to travel or other health restrictions or difficulties in shipping equipment across business lines. These delays have led to IBA rescheduling several project timelines, further impacting backlog conversion.

There has been no impact to either manufacturing or supply chain with IBA's safety measures ensuring that manufacturing can continue and all suppliers remaining open in the geographies in which they operate.

It is too soon to draw conclusions about when this situation will change as region-specific measures continue to evolve. The pandemic has also impacted the signing of new orders, however there are encouraging signs that the pipeline will start to progress. IBA continues to maintain a healthy balance sheet that has not been affected in any major way by the pandemic.

Outlook and guidance

The period has proved challenging for Proton Therapy but has also shown the resilience of the other parts of the business with Dosimetry, Services and Other Accelerators all performing well. Whilst IBA expects its usual second half weighting to improve its bottom-line performance for the year, as a global business with operations across many regions, the situation remains complex with regards to installations of projects and IBA continues to closely monitor the situation.

Potential new Proton Therapy contracts in Asia and the US as well as healthy order intake in Other Accelerators and Dosimetry highlight IBA's ability to deliver in challenging times through know-how, innovation and execution. The overall pipeline is strong and IBA remains committed to progressing new tenders at an international level.

IBA has a strong balance sheet and an excellent cash position. The prudent cost-control measures will remain in place for the remainder of year and beyond as a core part of the strategy. This will be alongside continuing to make strategic R&D investments, which is a core pillar of IBA's plan for longer term growth.

Given the ongoing COVID-19 conditions, IBA remains unable to provide reliable projected 2020 performance at this time. The Group continues to focus on delivering value to its stakeholders and is committed to remaining the leader in all of its markets, while driving efficiency across the board.

Glossary of Alternative Performance Measures (APM)

GROSS PROFIT
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.
EBIT
Definition: Earning before interests and taxes, EBIT shows the performance of the group (or segment) before
financial income/expenses and taxes. It shows all income and expense 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.
REBIT
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.
NET FINANCIAL DEBT
Definition: The net financial debt measures the overall debt situation of IBA.
Reason: Net financial debt provides an indication of the overall balance sheet strength of the Group and
measures IBA's cash position.
