Created by Yves Jongen in March 1986 in Louvain-la-Neuve in Belgium, IBA (Ion Beam Applications SA) is the worldwide leader in advanced cancer radiotherapy and diagnostic technologies. The Company's special expertise lies in the development of innovative proton therapy technologies, supplying the oncological world with equipment of unequalled precision.
Headquartered in Belgium and employing more than 1 200 people worldwide, IBA has installed systems across the United States and Europe. More recently it has successfully entered developing markets.
Thanks to its more conformal dose distribution and reduced side effects, proton therapy is considered to be the most advanced and most targeted treatment in the fight against cancer. Protons deposit the majority of their energy within a precisely controlled zone, directly in the center of the tumor without damaging healthy surrounding organs. Today, proton therapy is used to treat many cancers. It is particularly appropriate when treatment options are limited and conventional radiotherapy presents risks to patients. These situations include eye and brain cancers, tumors close to the brain stem and spinal cord, as well as prostate, liver, breast and pediatric cancers.
While proton therapy is becoming more accessible throughout the world, IBA, with its concern for patient wellbeing, continues to innovate through the design of ergonomic treatment rooms with advanced features, in order to meet the highest standards of clinical oncology practice .
Today, more than half of proton therapy clinical facilities worldwide are IBA systems. This includes 13 proton therapy centers in operation and 12 additional centers under development. Over 20 000 patients have been treated on IBA equipment – more than on all major competitive installations combined (Hitachi, Varian, Sumitomo, Mevion, Protom). The IBA product offer ranges from complete solutions Proteus®PLUS with five treatment rooms to Proteus®ONE, a single-room solution. With Proteus®ONE, proton therapy is more accessible than ever.
IBA has developed and installed more than half of the proton therapy clinical installations in the world.
To date, IBA has installed more than 400 accelerators. The majority of them are used for the production of radioisotopes for the detection of cancer. Capitalizing on its unique experience in radiopharmaceuticals, IBA is able to offer its customers better-integrated solutions. These solutions not only include equipment, but also services for setting up radiopharmaceutical production centers in total compliance with current norms.
In addition to its medical activity, IBA leverages its scientific expertise in radiation to develop its industrial sterilization and ionization activities.
Precision is everything in the delivery of radiation. For both diagnosis and therapy, delivering exactly the prescribed dose to a precisely defined area in the patient's body is absolutely crucial. Treatment success and safety depend on it. IBA offers a full range of monitoring equipment and software enabling radiologists to perform the necessary checks and calibration procedures.
Olivier Legrain, Chief Executive Officer, Jean Stéphenne, Chairman of the Board.
Olivier Legrain: We have redefined the scope of our activities to refocus on our core business, proton therapy. This strategy is based on several simple observations.
We are witnessing unfortunately an unavoidable increase in the number of cancer cases in the world. We expect to see the share of cancers treated by radiotherapy double in the next 10 years. In parallel, the share of indications for which proton therapy is recommended is going to increase significantly. We therefore anticipate a strong worldwide increase in demand for proton therapy rooms in the years to come. We are also seeing a change in the profile of hospitals adopting this type of treatment. Historically, proton therapy was prevalent in research centers and prestigious institutions. Today, more and more of
our customers are clinical institutions striving to offer their patients the best form of radiotherapy. With the contracts of McKesson, in Texas, and Apollo in India, IBA is now successfully reaching a new segment of the market: large hospital groups.
Proton therapy is therefore our principal source of growth for the future, particularly since IBA also enjoys the position of uncontested world market leader. More than half of the worldwide proton therapy market is equipped by IBA. Our installations have treated more than 20 000 patients. That's more than all the competitive systems combined! We are also widening our geographical coverage. The last proton therapy contract signed with Apollo will serve as a base for spreading proton therapy in Asian countries.
In addition, IBA has over time developed unique operational excellence in the installation of proton therapy centers. In 2012 we completed the installation of several centers in record time (Chicago, Somerset and Seattle) and our customers in Prague and Somerset treated their first patients.
OL: Indeed, making proton therapy more accessible is an important objective for us. The launch of Proteus®ONE is the most tangible embodiment: Proteus®ONE is a compact single-room solution which is smaller, more affordable, easier to install, easier to operate and ultimately easier to finance. With Proteus®ONE, proton therapy becomes possible for more patients worldwide. We will soon be installing the first Proteus®ONE centers in Nice, France, and Shreveport, in Louisiana, USA.
Another factor which is going to accelerate the movement towards proton therapy is the growing number of clinical studies that establish the superiority of this treatment mode in an increasing number of cancer indications. Moreover, every year IBA brings together its customers to encourage the sharing of clinical studies and help develop the technology.
Proton therapy is therefore at a turning point in its history: it is progressively becoming mainstream. We are proud to be part of this.
OL: Yes indeed, expertise in dosimetry, both for medical imagery and radiotherapy, is indispensable today. Our technological leadership in the field is renowned throughout the world. Our 3 500 customers are a testament to this expertise.
Furthermore, with the Dosimetry division we benefit from the potential offered by markets which are complementary to proton therapy. This helps make IBA more resilient to fluctuations in the proton therapy sector.
OL: The Industrial division is doing very well. Our recent success in Asia reassures us that we have taken the right path. The Rhodotron® systems sold in China will be used for the sterilization of medical material by electron beam technology. Compared to classical sterilization modes using radioactivity or chemical products, IBA Rhodotron® electron beam technology enables users to avoid all the contamination associated with chemical products and radioactive materials.
Finally, the radiopharmacy equipment that we produce and sell also contributes to our success, particularly in emerging markets. Whether we are talking about multi-purpose automated synthesizers or complete radiopharmacy projects, our know-how is recognized throughout the world.
Clearly there is also great potential for us outside proton therapy.
OL: Yes, of course. As far as proton therapy is concerned, the crisis makes access to financing more difficult in general. Projects take longer to complete. But as I have explained, this market is growing strongly.
Having said that, our order book – which stands at around EUR 240 million – gives us a good indication of revenue in the 12 or 24 months to come. And maintenance of proton therapy sites also provides income which is recurrent and important for the growth of IBA.
OL: We are close to signing a new agreement with our client WPE in Essen, Germany. We are grateful to our financial partners for the effort they have made to find a solution and we look forward to working with WPE in the future. This center will treat its first patient in the coming weeks.
As for our partnership with SK Capital Partners, which assures the future of the IBA Molecular division, we can today confirm that it is progressing very well. We have a common aligned strategy.
We have made financial provisions for those disputes.
OL: We are going to continue to refocus our activities on our core business and obtain the benefits from it. We are confident that the cost reduction measures we have taken – which represent around 10 million euros for 2013 – will enable us to achieve the objective we have fixed of 10% operating profit margin by end 2014. Over the next three years, our cumulated annual growth rate should be between 5 and 10%.
Our financial objectives are clear. All our teams have made great efforts this year to support our strategy of refocusing our activities on proton therapy, with a view to improving profitability. And I thank them all very sincerely.
Chief Executive Officer
Jean Stéphenne: 2012 was indeed a turning point. With the arrival of Olivier Legrain at the head of IBA, the Company repositioned to focus on its core business, proton therapy. During the strategic review in December, the Board of Directors was impressed by the clarity and lucidity of the strategy, and the competences of the new IBA Management Team. Olivier Legrain presented a strategic plan aimed at returning the Company to profitability. I have total confidence in his capacity to meet IBA's financial and technological challenges, while continuing to benefit from the expertise of Yves Jongen and Pierre Mottet who are still active in the Company. The role of the Board of Directors is to ensure a smooth transition in company management based on a clear strategic plan.
JS: Inevitably the composition of the Board changes, if only to find a balance between industrial, scientific and financial expertise. Professor Mary Gospodarowicz, who joined the Board in May 2012, is an important link both technically and medically (Prof. Mary Gospodarowicz is the Medical Director of the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre at the University Health Network in Toronto, Canada, and is also President of the Union for International Cancer Control). Mary understands better than anyone the issues around cancer and demonstrates the added value of proton therapy every day. She also represents the North American market on the Board, a market with enormous potential for proton therapy.
JS: IBA has developed a proton therapy solution that is more standardized and more compact: Proteus®ONE. This new system opens new doors for IBA because it makes proton therapy more accessible to a greater number of hospitals around the world. It also allows IBA to penetrate new markets, particularly in Asia. Proteus®ONE will enable IBA to remain the indisputable leader of this market with strong growth potential.
JS: Related to this refocus, IBA has created a new joint company with SK Capital Partners: IBA Molecular. The backing of SK Capital Partners will strengthen the potential of IBA Molecular to increase its production capacity, generate new products and widen its geographical coverage. On its own, IBA would not have sufficient financial resources to ensure this development. The relationship with SK Capital Partners is constructive, and we are aligned together on the strategy to follow.
JS: Yes. Analysts and investors expect recurrent results. Olivier Legrain and his team are in the process of reestablishing the profitability of IBA. The Company has refocused on its flagship activities, where the potential is clear. Proteus®ONE is the response to the fundamental market changes taking place in proton therapy. 2012 was a key year aimed at strengthening the foundations of the Company. The strategy for the coming years is clear and explicit. The new IBA Management Team is extremely competent. IBA has a bright future to look forward to.
Jean Stéphenne
Chairman of the Board
Pierre Mottet, Chief Executive Officer till May 2012, Olivier Legrain, Chief Executive Officer, Jean Stéphenne, Chairman of the Board.
IBA is a medical technology company which concentrates its activities on the fight against cancer through integrated and innovative solutions for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. The Group's priority is the development of proton therapy, the most advanced form of radiotherapy today. Other activities grouped around this principal activity include dosimetry and the development of particle accelerators for the medical world and industry.
These enable IBA to expand its range of products and help achieve the mission it has set itself: to protect, enhance and save lives.
The year 2012 saw important changes in Group strategy. A first change is the realignment towards its Equipment core activity. In order to ensure the necessary investment for its Equipment activity, IBA formed a strategic alliance with SK Capital Partners and created the IBA Molecular company on April 2nd 2012. This jointly-owned company regroups the Pharmaceutical activities of IBA, such as the production of radioisotopes, and the development of new tracers (products which enable the identification of the human body's organic activity).
A second significant change is the Management handover at the top of the Company. Pierre Mottet, Chief Executive Officer of IBA for more than 25 years passed on the baton to Olivier Legrain on May 9th 2012.
While maintaining the Group's leadership in proton therapy, these two changes have enabled IBA to embark on a new path that will significantly improve its profitability. Major initiatives have already been taken both to improve the productivity and efficiency within the organization, and to support growth in the Company's markets. Indeed IBA is convinced that these initiatives will enable the Group to achieve an operating profit of 10% from end 2014.
In order to maintain its technological market leadership, the Group has continued to invest in Research and Development. In 2012, R&D staff represented 21% of Group full-time equivalent employment with 275 units.
Actual expenditure for managing and developing the intellectual property of the Group reached approximately EUR 0.89 million.
In 2012 IBA reduced its patent portfolio to those actually used, in order to maintain the level of annual expenditure in this area while ensuring the protection of its new inventions.
At December 31 2012, the IBA patent portfolio contained 405 patents and patent applications covering 86 different inventions.

Proton therapy is a form of radiotherapy considered by many specialists to be the technology of the future in cancer treatment, due to the precision with which it is possible to target the tumor. The particular physical properties of the proton beam enable it to:
At the end of 2012, IBA confirmed its position as leader with a 50% share of market and the sale of 73 treatment rooms – of which 45 are in operation – to 25 institutions.
The growth potential of this market is enormous. While proton therapy today represents less than 1% of radiotherapy treatments, studies – such as the report by the Nederlands Gezondheidsraad(1) (Netherlands Health Council) – estimate that more than 17% of patients treated by radiotherapy would benefit from being treated by this technique.
In order to make proton therapy accessible to a greater number of patients throughout the world, IBA has developed a new, more compact and economically affordable concept: Proteus®ONE. This proton therapy system, simpler to install and operate, is also more easily financeable. While encompassing the most meaningful clinical functionalities, Proteus®ONE facilitates access to proton therapy.
Leveraging its unique expertise in the design and development of particle accelerators for clinical use, IBA has developed a more compact and affordable accelerator. This new accelerator incorporates the latest technologies available in the sector and is one of the innovative elements of Proteus®ONE.
In its search for compactness, IBA has also developed a new compact isocentric gantry that enables the treatment of the widest range of clinical indications. The expertise provided by Philips Design in this project has enabled IBA to develop a treatment environment that is highly innovative technically in terms of patient wellbeing and safety of clinical teams.
In addition, IBA is also constantly reducing the installation time of its proton therapy centers, thereby reducing technological and financial risks for the customer and making IBA the preferred choice in the market.
IBA's mission is to provide technological solutions to meet the clinical challenges of cancers which are particularly complex to treat.
In order to provide a proton therapy solution with high precision assisted by advanced imagery, IBA has invested in two major research areas together with clinical and scientific partners:

The state-of-the-art technology of Proteus®PLUS offers compelling advantages in terms of simplicity, reliability and operability that are unequaled on the market.
Proteus®ONE benefits from 20 years of experience and the latest technologies in proton therapy developed by IBA with clinical partners. It is designed to enhance the patient experience by fostering a soothing environment and facilitate medical staff daily practice.
destroy the tumor
This advanced treatment modality allows physicians to precisely "paint the targeted cells" in 3-D with the treatment beam. PBS enables doctors to control the intensity and spatial distribution of the dose to the nearest millimeter, adapting it to the shape and heterogeneity of the tumor, while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
In order to optimize treatment precision, IBA supports several initiatives aimed at creating innovative solutions for image- and dose-guided proton therapy.
The final goal of these techniques is to have, in real time, a very precise view of the tumor location and its immediate environment, to verify the position of the patient and the dose deposited during the actual treatment. These features will enable clinicians to fully leverage the precision of proton beam therapy.
In addition to its investment in research aimed at developing the technology of tomorrow, as a leader, IBA actively supports its partners in the effort to build awareness and clinical acceptance of this treatment within the oncology and general healthcare sector.
Specifically, IBA assists its clinical partners in the setting up of clinical studies, and the development and distribution of protocols for new indications such as lung, breast and pancreatic cancer. IBA also helps distribute educational and didactic information to doctors and patients through the support of foundations, educational platforms and other patient associations. Finally, in cooperation with academic partners IBA builds training and clinical certification bodies.
There are two main applications of the use of radiation for patients: during diagnosis aided by medical imaging (such as X-ray or computer tomography) and in cancer therapy (radiation therapy). In both applications, radiation is used to improve the outcome of the patient. However radiation has to be applied wisely and carefully in order to both maximize the quality of the diagnosis and therapy, and minimize the associated risks. In medical imaging the goal is generally to decrease to a minimum the imaging doses to the patient whilst maintaining good image quality. In radiation therapy the goal is to focus high doses of cancercell-killing radiation with pinpoint accuracy on the tumor mass.
With over 3 500 users worldwide, IBA Dosimetry is the market leader in providing healthcare professionals with high-end solutions to measure and analyze the imaging and treatment doses received by patients. With the healthcare market's increasing awareness of higher patient safety, the dosimetry and Quality Assurance (QA) segment will grow further, with single digit annual growth rates in saturated markets and double digit growth in emerging markets. The accelerating trend of merging radiation therapy machines with imaging devices provides further synergies for IBA Dosimetry.
IBA Dosimetry's latest innovations are gaining more and more acceptance worldwide:
COMPASS® is the first and most advanced solution that overcomes traditional phantom based QA. In contrast, COMPASS® visualizes the exact dose distribution inside the patient, enabling healthcare professionals to make clinical decisions on the safety and efficiency of the treatment even before the dose is applied.
DigiPhant PT. Launched at the American Congress of Medical Physicists in 2012, this unique solution for modern proton therapy QA of Pencil Beam Scanning reduces the QA time for each patient by 30 minutes, thus providing proton therapy
centers with higher patient throughputs and safer treatments.
In diagnostics, the launch of the new MagicMaX Universal multimeter at the 2012 European Congress of Radiology provides an extremely fast, yet very powerful solution for all diagnostic imaging, from X-ray to fluoroscopy, computer tomography, mammography and dental modalities.
IBA Dosimetry presents an excellent growth of 13.4% totaling EUR 48.9 million.
IBA Dosimetry has launched the new CAREprogram to take customer focus to a level beyond traditional service offerings. The newly-opened International Competence Center (ICC) offers dosimetry training programmes of the highest level, enabling users to utilize high-end dosimetry equipment more efficiently and effectively.
The IBA Dosimetry Laboratory offers SSDL calibrations which meet international regulations and offer documented traceability to primary standards for leading-edge accuracy.
IBA Dosimetry offers also a new worldwide physics service enabling hospitals to commission new radiation therapy equipment much faster.
IBA Dosimetry's collaboration with leading healthcare institutions around the world is the core for future innovations that will make IBA's dosimetry and Quality Assurance solutions the preferred choice.
IBA has developed in-depth experience in setting up medical radiopharmaceutical production centers. Based on this longstanding expertise, the IBA RadioPharma Solutions team helps nuclear medicine departments in hospitals and radiopharmaceutical distribution centers to design, build and operate a radiopharmacy. Acquiring a cyclotron is indeed only the first step in the complex project of acquiring a fully-functional radiopharmacy capability, one that requires all components and auxiliary equipment to be integrated into a consistent and efficient radiopharmacy center.
Thanks to this unique in-house expertise that no other competitor can claim, IBA won important contracts in all regions in 2012 (Asia, Europe, North America, Russia, Middle East, …).
Growth perspectives for IBA in this segment are positive with the increased demand for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuticals throughout the world, particularly in emerging countries.
IBA also continues to develop its leadership and differentiation through constant innovation: in 2012 the Company developed IntegraLab®ONE (a ready-to-run integrated radiopharmacy center), Nirta conical targets (reducing the operating cost and increasing productivity for the client) and also added new molecules that can be produced on the Company's chemistry module Synthera®.
IntegraLab® is a fully-integrated solution combining equipment and services for the establishment of radiopharmaceutical production centers. Amongst other services, IntegraLab® includes the building design, achieving full regulatory compliance, and the selection, integration, supply and installation of
suitable high-technology equipment to match the customer's radioisotope production goals.
Synthera® is a multi-purpose automated synthesizer for the production of 18f-fdg, other 18F-labeled compounds (FCH, FLT, NAF) and radiopharmaceuticals. Synthera® is designed to accommodate a wide range of radiochemistries.
IntegraLab®ONE is a ready-to-run integrated radiopharmacy center.
Synthera® is a multi-purpose automated synthesizer for the production of PET molecules.
The IBA Industrial division exploits electron beams and focuses on two markets: the sterilization of single-use medical products and the improvement of the physical properties of polymers (crosslinking).
In the sterilization market, IBA Industrial achieved a record year in 2012 with the sale of five Rhodotron® accelerators of which two include high added-value integration services. The value of these contracts is approximately EUR 16 million. In 2012, growth of the sterilization market was stimulated principally by China. IBA Industrial has developed a strategy of differentiation both on a product level and in terms of the positioning of its integrator services. Today IBA supplies more than 90% of installed power in the electron-beam sterilization equipment market and plans to break into other sterilization markets such as gamma ray and ethylene oxide sterilization. These new markets are now accessible thanks to an innovation patented in 2012 which enables Rhodotron® to cover a wider power range not achievable by any of IBA's competitors.
The polymer crosslinking market currently shows strong growth following a change in dynamics on the American continent. A growing number of automobile manufacturers are moving towards cables treated by electron beams that are both more compact and offer superior performance. IBA has captured a major share of this growth due to a
global services offer and the recent development of its Easy-e-Beam accelerator which meets the specific needs of the automobile industry.
IBA Industrial is looking carefully at other emerging applications such as the sanitary treatment of food and the detection of hazardous materials in cargo. For these markets with high sales potential for IBA, electron beam and X-ray technology provides solutions for certain problems the industry is facing.
Rhodotron® IBA technology is faster and enables all contamination by chemical products or radioactive material to be avoided.
In a difficult economic and competitive situation, Cisbio Bioassays remains a key player in immunoassays for in vitro diagnostics. The launches of a total vitamin D assay – a highly important biomarker in certain cancers, osteoporosis and autoimmune diseases – and Inflamark, a marker for inflammatory intestinal pathologies, demonstrate Cisbio Bioassays' ambition to reinvest in the clinical biology field with new products using nonradioactive detection technologies (ELISA).
Moreover, the drug discovery market is restructuring with a significant redistribution of research programs within the industry. The market introduction in 2012 of 29 new assays is tangible proof of the new strategic direction taken by Cisbio Bioassays, which in anticipation of this change, has strengthened its position in key therapeutic fields such as oncology, and entered epigenetics, one of the leading new directions of pharmaceutical research. The contribution to Cisbio Bioassays' revenue from new products for drug discovery increased to 18% in 2012, from 11% the previous year. The new product launch program for these two segments is a sustainable and strategic trend, through a product program resulting from R&D investment and licensing agreements.
Following the decision to refocus its activities on the medical equipment sector, the Company appointed the ING Investment Bank to act as advisor on the transfer of the IBA Bioassays activity.
The training and development of employees for the satisfaction of customers and benefit of patients.
Last year was an important one for IBA Human Resources. We enrolled 220 new employees and continued our efforts to train the teams in the mission we have set ourselves: the fight against cancer.
The refocus of activities on our core business, proton therapy technologies, has also enabled us to realign our teams, their objectives and their training. Our teams' increased awareness of their important role in this fight against cancer will heighten the satisfaction of our customers.
This refocus combined with a reduction in the scope of activity through the creation of IBA Molecular
Imaging (in a joint venture with SK Capital Partners), has enabled us to lighten the corporate structure. In parallel IBA has also developed its approach to outsourcing, which consists of "buying" rather than "producing".
This new focus represents a real transformation. Indeed our teams and engineers are no longer just scientists, but men and women aiming to make proton therapy more accessible and affordable, for the benefit of medical teams and their patients. Naturally the role of human resources is to accompany and implement this strategic change through recruitment and training, in order to maintain IBA leadership in innovation in our markets.
We did indeed carry out a first survey on employee "engagement" in 2010, and we conducted it again last year. Efforts undertaken since 2010 have certainly born fruit. The motivation and "engagement" of our teams have progressed substantially. We are delighted of course, but we want to go further. This survey reveals areas where progress can be made: supporting our employees better through their career plans, or more simply, by communicating better about Company's objectives, our mission and our competitive environment. We have heard what they have said and we will soon introduce measures in response.
In 2013 we will therefore push these initiatives forward while strengthening available training, increasing the opportunities for internal mobility and working on the relationship between our teams' work and the direction of our mission.
Undeniably. It is the talent and expertise of our men and women that have made – and will continue making – IBA the uncontested leader in proton therapy, dosimetry, and industrial applications of particle accelerators. It is our people who are continually pushing back the limits of technology. And it is thanks to their technological and business leadership in the fight against cancer that 20 000 patients have already been treated with proton therapy.

2011 & 2012 numbers restated to reclassify Bioassays in discontinued operations.
IBA reported an 8.8% increase in revenues to EUR 221.1 million during 2012 (2011: EUR 203.2 million, restated in both 2012 and 2011 post the disposal of the 60% interest in IBA Molecular and reclassifying Bioassays under discontinued operations). The increase in revenues was driven by strong growth in Dosimetry (up 13.4%) and Proton therapy (up 10%).
Recurring operating profits before interest and taxes (REBIT) continued to improve compared with 2011, due to the growth in revenues and benefiting from the implementation of the Company's productivity and efficiency programme, particularly in the second half of the year. The Company's REBIT more than doubled in 2012 from EUR 8.2 million in 2011 to EUR 16.8 million in 2012, an increase of 106.0%.
Non-recurring events, mostly relating to the Essen project litigation, SK Capital Partners transaction and restructuring expenses, have led to a net loss of EUR 5.8 million. As a consequence, the Board of Directors will recommend to the General Assembly that no dividend be paid in respect of 2012.
It should also be noted that the Board has decided to terminate the capital reduction initiated in 2012. The Board will not reconvene a General Meeting to this end until further notice.
Cash flow during 2012 was strong mostly thanks to the SK Capital Partners transaction proceeds. Working capital also decreased significantly in the second half of the year due to contractual payments received in the Proton therapy division.
Net debt at the year end was EUR 28.3 million, down from EUR 40.6 million at the end of the prior year. In addition, during the second half of the year, IBA commenced repayment of its long-term loan from the European Investment Bank.
