Orders improved significantly during Q3 with all regions contributing. The growth was supported by new product launches of Elekta Evo and Elekta ONE. We delivered a record high cash flow in the quarter. Net sales and profitability were negatively impacted by lower volumes in the U.S. and China and as a consequence, we are adjusting our full year guidance.
Our book-to-bill ratio stands at 1.15, driven by an order growth of 21% in constant exchange rates with all regions and business lines contributing. Our latest linear accelerator, Elekta Evo, and our new software suite Elekta ONE, have been well received by customers and had a positive impact on the order and sales growth in the markets where it is regulatory cleared, with Europe contributing most. We are staying cautious in our nearterm outlook for the Chinese market, however, during the third quarter we saw continued order improvement supporting installations and sales recovery in the coming quarters.
Net sales in constant exchange rates increased by 2 percent in Q3, with the gross margin improving to 37.1 percent (36.9). Net sales were impacted by lower volumes in China due to continued weak market conditions, and in the U.S. where we saw lower installations as customers are awaiting the Evo regulatory clearance. In the face of these challenges, our ongoing activities, including executing on price increases, cost control, and new product launches, are expected to drive growth and improve profitability going forward. The cash flow after continuous investments was strong, amounting to SEK 730 million (631), driven by improved EBITDA and reduction of working capital. This resulted in a record high Q3 cash flow.
Customer wins, and Evo and Elekta ONE installations During the quarter, we have secured significant commercial wins, including a major deal in Mexico and

Unity wins from competition in the U.S. and Europe. The installation and treatment capabilities of Elekta Evo are progressing well. The new system went clinical during the quarter with very positive customer feedback. The first patient on the Elekta Evo was a curative treatment enabled by the superior image quality provided by the new CT technology, Iris.
Additionally, the oncology informatics system in our software offering, Elekta ONE, has once again been recognized as "Best in KLAS", an independent award based on feedback from hundreds of users, reaffirming its strength and reliability.
As uncertainty in the world increases, and near-term we expect lower sales in China and the U.S., we are adjusting our full year guidance. In the full year of 2024/25, we expect net sales to be broadly stable and the EBIT margin to be lower, compared to full year 2023/24. Beyond this fiscal year, we are targeting an EBIT margin of 14 percent or higher, driven by strong customer interest in our industry-leading product portfolio and the increasing demand for world-class cancer care solutions.

1.15 Book-to-bill ratio
"Driven by an order growth of 21% with all regions contributing."
Based on constant exchange rates, Elekta's net sales increased by 2 percent in the third quarter. The development was mainly driven by solid performance in Europe and most markets in APAC while the U.S. and China declined. Reported net sales increased by 3 percent amounting to SEK 4,695 M (4,537).
Sales in EMEA increased by 5 percent in constant exchange rates compared to last year, driven by strong performance in Europe and supported by new product launches. APAC sales grew by 6 percent in constant exchange rates with good performance across most markets. However, the market in China remained negatively impacted by the anti-corruption campaign, resulting in an 8 percent sales decline in the quarter. In the Americas, growth in South America was fully offset by decreased sales in the U.S. mainly as a consequence of customers awaiting the Elekta Evo clearance.
Service sales in constant exchange rates showed growth of 10 percent with positive development in all business
lines and regions. Solutions decreased by 4 percent in constant exchange rates mainly due to lower sales in the U.S. and China.
The book-to-bill ratio was 1.15 (0.98) in the third quarter and the rolling twelve months ended at 1.14 (1.09). Gross order intake in the third quarter amounted to SEK 5,418 M (4,433), an increase of 22 percent in SEK and 21 percent based on constant exchange rates. In EMEA, order growth was supported by the product launches of Elekta Evo and Elekta ONE. China continued to deliver strong order growth compared to last year's low level.

1 Based on constant exchange rates.
The adjusted gross income was SEK 1,740 M (1,673), representing an adjusted gross margin of 37.1 percent (36.9). The increase was supported by price improvements and a favorable product mix with an increased share of Service. The margin in the third quarter was negatively impacted by the remaining volumes delivered to Ukraine, however not at the same level as in the previous quarter. Changes in foreign exchange rates had a negative impact.
Gross income amounted to SEK 1,734 M (1,664), which represented a margin of 36.9 percent (36.7).
Adjusted EBIT came in at SEK 548 M (525), representing a margin of 11.7 percent (11.6). The increase in the adjusted EBIT margin derives mainly from the gross margin partially offset by higher amortization costs.
EBIT amounted to SEK 525 M (485), which represented a margin of 11.2 percent (10.7). Items affecting comparability in the third quarter mainly consisted of personnel-related costs and amounted to SEK 23 M (40), whereof SEK 6 M (10) impacted gross margin.
Operating expenses, excluding items affecting comparability and based on constant exchange rates, increased by 11 percent during the third quarter. The increase was mainly driven by higher amortization of intangible assets following recent product launches. Selling expenses increased, mainly driven by product launch related activities. This was partly offset by lower administrative expenses resulting from the Cost-reduction Initiative.
Net income amounted to SEK 336 M (306) and earnings per share to SEK 0.89 (0.80) before and after dilution. Net financial items increased slightly to SEK -95 M (-93), explained by higher interest expenses. Taxes amounted to SEK -95 M (-86), representing a tax rate of 22 percent (22).

During the third quarter, Elekta has continued to drive cost-reduction initiatives with the aim of lowering structural costs and enhancing productivity across the organization. The target was to generate annual run rate savings by around SEK 250 M at the end of the fiscal year 2024/25, at an estimated implementation cost of SEK 250 M. By the end of the quarter the Cost-reduction Initiative amounted to SEK 264 M in annual run rate savings, ahead of plan as well as above target. Savings of SEK 80 M impacted the first nine months. The implementation costs amounted to SEK 167 M and are reported as items affecting comparability, see page 27.

Cash flow after continuous investments amounted to SEK 730 M (631), resulting in a record high cash flow in the third quarter.

Investments in intangible assets amounted to SEK 321 M (344) and were mainly related to R&D investments in new product solutions and software. Investments in tangible assets decreased to SEK 45 M (96). Cash conversion in the third quarter was 126 percent (140).

Elekta applies geographical segmentation. Net sales and contribution margin for the respective regions are reported to Elekta's CFO and CEO (chief operating decision makers). The regions' expenses are directly attributable to the respective regions' reported figures including cost of products sold. Global costs for R&D, marketing, management of product supply centers and Parent Company are not allocated per region. Currency exposure is concentrated to product supply centers. The majority of exchange differences in operations are reported in global costs.
Elekta's operations are characterized by significant quarterly variations in volumes and product mix, which have a direct impact on net sales and profits. This is accentuated when the operation is split into segments, as is the impact of currency fluctuations between the years. In general, revenue from Solutions is recognized at a point in time and revenue from Services are recognized over time.
