It is gratifying to note that sales for the first quarter of the year were our highest ever, SEK 332 M (257). Compared with same period of 2024, the increase was 29 percent (26 percent at unchanged exchange rates). Operating profit totaled SEK 75 M (46), corresponding to an operating margin of 23 percent (18). The improved margin was mainly the result of increased license revenue, which amounted to SEK 165 M (119). Due to the political turmoil in the US, operating profit was unusually affected by exchange-rate fluctuations. Excluding exchange-rate losses, operating profit totaled SEK 95 M (42), which would have corresponded to an operating margin of 29 percent (16). Order intake was SEK 410 M (239), corresponding to an increase of 72 percent. It's clear that our momentum is continuing, and our opportunities for further growth are favorable. To summarize, RaySearch has a strong financial position with cash and cash equivalents of SEK 503 M, stable cash flow and no loans.
In early March, Heyou Hospital in Foshan City, China, purchased our RayStation treatment planning system. The order value was SEK 77 M, of which SEK 26 M was recognized in the first quarter. This is the third-largest order in RaySearch's history and the largest since December 2022. Heyou Hospital is also the first customer to combine RayStation with a combined Hitachi carbon ion and proton machine. The system will also be used for the hospital's conventional photon therapy. This order strengthens RaySearch's position as the market leader in treatment planning for particle treatments, an area that is growing rapidly in China.
Odense University Hospital (OUH), in the Region of Southern Denmark, has also placed an order for RayStation. The radiotherapy center at OUH is known for being at the forefront of automated solutions to provide high-quality care in an efficient way, including the ability to automatically generate treatment plans. The order value is approximately SEK 15 M, excluding service contracts, most of which was recognized as revenue in the first quarter. With the introduction of RayStation, the clinic is now taking the next step by further developing automation to cover all aspects of the treatment planning process – from initial planning to finalized treatment plans.
The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust in the UK has treated its first patient using a new and groundbreaking workflow, enabled by the new adaptive replanning module released in the latest version of RayStation. With this treatment, The Royal Marsden has demonstrated the effectiveness and efficiency of the new module, which is a significant step forward in terms of time savings, both for patients and for the hospital. The next step in this development is to add RayCare, as this is expected to further reduce treatment time. We look forward to a continued good collaboration with the team at The Royal Marsden.
In early May, we launched a new version of RayStation, v2025. We have continued our work to automate as much of the treatment planning process as possible, and the new version includes, among other things, an update to Plan Explorer, which now works together with our latest methods for automated treatment planning: machine learning and ECHO. In the area of machine learning, we have improved performance and added models for several new plan types. ECHO is an algorithm developed by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, USA, and it has now been integrated into RayStation. Both of these methods simplify the workflow for creating individually tailored treatment plans and reduce the time required compared to manual planning. The planning results are also more consistent and reproducible, which supports more standardized care for patients. The new version of RayStation also includes extended support for treatment planning using Leo Cancer Care's system for upright patient positioning.
To summarize, I can confirm that we had a strong start to 2025 with our highest-ever sales. It is worth noting that this is the first time we have achieved record sales in the first quarter. Until now, this has almost always happened in the last quarter of the year. Order intake and operating profit also showed a positive trend. Since 2023, RaySearch has focused explicitly on improving its operating margin. With an operating margin of 23 percent for the quarter (would have been a full 29 percent without exchange effects) and 22 percent for full-year 2024, it is clear that we are on the right track. I feel confident that we will achieve our stated goal of maintaining a minimum operating margin of 25 percent by 2026. With yet another sales record and continuously growing support revenue, I am looking forward to an exciting year with continued favorable growth.
Stockholm, May 2025
Johan Löf, CEO and founder

RaySearch operates in a market with uneven order flows where individual orders can have a substantial impact on revenue recognition between the quarters and, because the company has limited (less than 10 percent) variable costs for license revenue, operating profit is affected by an amount that is nearly as high. For this reason, a longer perspective than a few quarters should be taken.
In the first quarter of 2025, order intake amounted to SEK 409.6 M (238.5), an increase of 71.7 percent compared to the same period previous year. License order intake amounted to SEK 158.9 M (112.3), an increase of 41.5 percent, while order intake for support was SEK 201.3 M (80.3), an increase of 150.7 percent. The order from Heyou Hospital in China, which was announced earlier in the first quarter, accounted for approximately SEK 77 M, including both license and support.
At March 31 2025, the total order backlog was SEK 1,734.4 M (1,848.0), of which SEK 545.5 M is expected to generate revenue over the next 12 months. The remaining amount in the order backlog mainly pertains to support commitments that are primarily expected to generate revenue during a subsequent four-year period. The decrease in the order backlog during the first quarter is attributed to the stronger exchange rate of the Swedish krona, primarily in relation to the EUR and USD.

During the first quarter of 2025, the operating profit increased to SEK 74.8 M (45.8), which is primarily a result of the relatively higher turnover and corresponds to an operating margin of 22.6 (17.8) percent.
The net of exchange rate gains and losses during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK -20.1 M (3.8). The effects arise when large parts of the group's receivables are in foreign currency, mainly in USD and EUR.

In the first quarter of 2025, cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 146.8 M (167.3).The decrease compared to the previous year is partly due to strong working capital development in the comparison period, and partly due to a large tax payment related to the previous year's earnings that was made at the beginning of 2025.
In the first quarter, cash flow from investing activities was SEK -61.9 M (-60.8).

As of March 31, 2025, the Group's net cash amounted to SEK 53.9 M compared to SEK -9.2 M (net debt) as of December 31, 2024, an improvement that is mainly due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents and lower leasing debt.

RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ) is the Parent Company of the RaySearch Group. Since the Parent Company's operations are consistent with the Group's operations in all material respects, the comments for the Group are also largely relevant for the Parent Company.
Differences in profitability between the Parent Company and the Group are attributable to the Parent Company accounting for a relatively high proportion of operating expenses, and to the capitalization of development costs being recognized in the Group but not in the Parent Company. The parent company does not apply IFRS 16 and lease costs are therefore reported as operating leases. This reduces operating profit compared with if IFRS 16 had been applied.
The Parent Company's current receivables mainly comprise receivables from Group companies and external customers.

As a global Group with operations in different parts of the world. RaySearch is exposed to various risks and uncertainties, such as market risk, operational and legal risk, as well as financial risk pertaining to exchange-rate fluctuations, interest rates, liquidity and financing opportunities. RaySearch's risk management aims to identify, measure and reduce risks related to the Group's transactions and operations. For more information about risks and risk management, refer to pages 36-38 of RaySearch's 2024 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes with any impact on the risks reported.
RaySearch's customers are healthcare providers and the company's operations are somewhat characterized by seasonal variations that are typical for the industry, whereby the fourth quarter is normally the strongest – mainly because many customers have budgets that follow the calendar year.
Sustainability is a key aspect of RaySearch's strategy and operations, and the company is working actively to become a sustainable enterprise. The primary aim of RaySearch's operations is to help cancer clinics improve and save the lives of cancer patients. Through innovative software solutions, the company is continuously striving to improve and streamline workflows in clinical environments and to improve treatment outcomes for cancer patients. The customer value created presents business opportunities for RaySearch, but also major social benefit and economic gains.
The negative environmental impact of the company's products is limited. The company's environmental impact is mainly related to the purchase of goods and services, energy use and transportation. RaySearch aims to contribute to sustainable development and therefore works actively to improve the company's environmental performance wherever this is economically viable. More information about the company's environmental and sustainability initiatives is available in the company's Sustainability Report on pages 23-27 of RaySearch's 2024 Annual Report.
This interim report has not been reviewed by the company's auditors.
The Board of Directors and CEO give their assurance that this year-end report gives a true and fair view of the Group's and the Parent Company's operations, position and earnings, and describes the significant risks and uncertainties facing the Parent Company and the companies included in the Group.

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those described in the 2024 Annual Report for RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ), which is available at raysearchlabs.com. RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ) is the Parent Company of the RaySearch Group.
The Parent Company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The Parent Company's operations are consistent with the Group's operations in all material aspects. Differences in profitability between the Parent Company and the Group are attributable to the Parent Company accounting for a relatively high proportion of operating expenses and to the capitalization of development costs being recognized in the Group but not in the Parent Company. The Parent Company's current receivables mainly comprise receivables from Group companies and external customers.
Preparation of the interim report requires the company management to make estimates that affect the carrying amounts. The actual outcome could deviate from these estimates. The critical sources of uncertainty in the estimates are the same as presented in the most recent Annual Report.
RaySearch conducts sales of goods and services in various regions. Revenue from sales of licenses and hardware is recognized in profit or loss at a point in time, while revenue from sales of training and support is recognized over time.

RaySearch's financial assets and liabilities comprise billed and unbilled receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accrued expenses, accounts payable, bank loans and lease liabilities. Long-term receivables and lease liabilities are discounted, while other financial assets and liabilities have short maturities. Accordingly, the fair values of all financial instruments are deemed to correspond approximately to their carrying amounts.
The provision for expected credit losses is a weighted assessment of payment history, reports from external credit rating agencies and other customer-specific information. As of March 31, 2025, the credit loss provision amounted to SEK 8.8 M (9.4), corresponding to 1.9 percent (2.0) of total customer receivables. The general reserve for expected credit losses amounts to 1 percent.
The company's net sales and results are affected by the development of the Swedish krona against other currencies, primarily USD and EUR. The majority of invoicing is done in foreign currencies, while most of the expenses are in Swedish kronor. Based on the year's
structure for revenue, cost and currency (transaction exposure), a general change of 10 percentage in the SEK to USD exchange rate would impact the consolidated operating profit by approximately +/- SEK 11.8 M in the first quarter of 2025, while a corresponding change in the SEK to EUR exchange rate would impact the consolidated operating profit by approximately +/- SEK 15.5 M.
The Group follows the financial policy established by the Board of Directors; whereby exchange-rate fluctuations are not hedged.
There were no transactions between RaySearch and related parties with any material impact on the company's position and earnings during the period.

The interim report refers to a number of non-IFRS financial measures that are used to provide investors and company management with additional information to assess the company's operations. The various non-IFRS measures used to complement the IFRS financial statements are
described below. The calculation of the IFRS measures can be found on the company's website raysearchlabs.com.
| Non-IFRS measures | Definition | Reason for using the measure |
|---|---|---|
| Adjusted operating profit | Calculated as operating profit less other operating income/expenses. | Adjusted operating profit provides an overall picture of the total generation of earnings in core operating activities. |
| Capital employed | Balance sheet decreased by non interest bearing debt and deffered tax liabilities. | This measures shows how much capital that is used in the business and is thereby the only component that measues the return from the business. |
| Debt/equity ratio | Net debt in relation to equity. | The measure shows financial risk and is used by management to monitor the Group's indebtedness. |
| EBITDA | Operating profit before financial items. tax. depreciation/amortization and impairment. | The measurement is a way to evaluate the result without taking into consider ation financial decisions or taxes. |
| Equity/assets ratio | Equity expressed as a percentage of total assets at the end of the period. | This is a standard measure to show financial risk. and is expressed as the per centage of the total restricted equity financed by the owners. |
| Equity per share | Equity divided by number of shares at the end of the period. | The measurement shows the return generated on the owners' invested capital per share. |
| Gross profit | Net sales minus cost of goods sold. | Gross profit is used to measure the margin before sales. research. development and administrative expenses |
| Growth | Percentage change in net sales compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. |
The measure is used to track the development of the company's operations between different periods. |
| Growth at constant exchange rates | Revenue change at constant exchange rates, i.e., excluding currency effects. | The measure is used to track the underlying revenue change driven by volume, price, and mix changes for comparable units between different periods. |
| Interest bearing debt | Debt with an interest bearing component | Shows the actiual interest bearing debt burden. |
| Net debt | Interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents | This measure shows the Group's total indebtedness |
| Net debt/EBITDA | and interest-bearing current and long-term receivables | A relevant measure from a credit perspective that shows the company's ability to handle its debt. |
| Operating costs | Net debt at the end of the period in relation to operating profit before depreciation and amortization over the past 12-month period. |
Operating costs gives an overall view of costs tied to the operating business and is an important internal measure which management can have a great impact on. |
| Operating margin | Consists of sales costs, administration costs and research and development costs that are part of the operating business. In former reports cogs and other income and other costs were also included. |
Together with sales growth the operating margin is a key element for monitoring value creation. |
| Operating profit/loss | Operating profit expressed as a percentage of net sales. | Operating profit/loss provides an overall picture of the total generation of earn ings in operating activities. |
| Order backlog | Calculated as profit for the period before financial items and tax. | The order backlog shows the value of orders already booked by RaySearch that will be converted to revenue in the future. |
| Order intake | The value of orders at the end of the period that the company has yet to deliver and recog nize as revenue. meaning remaining performance obligations. |
Order intake is an indicator of future revenue and thus a key figure for the man agement of RaySearch's operations. |
| P/E ratio | The value (transaction price) of all orders received and changes to existing orders during the current period. |
Shows from an ownership perspective how the market values the share in rela tion to profit after tax. |
| Return on capital employed | Share price at the end of the period divided by profit per share. | A central metric for assessing the return on all capital invested in the business. |
| Return on equity | Operating profit plus financial income in percentage of average balance sheet items excluding non-interest bearing debt. |
Shows the return generated on the owners' invested capital from a shareholder perspective. |
| Rolling 12 months' sales. operating profit or other results |

The company's vision is a world where cancer is conquered and RaySearch's mission is to provide innovative software to continuously improve cancer treatment.
A radiation therapy center essentially needs two software platforms for its operations: a treatment planning system and an information system. With RayStation and RayCare, RaySearch will strengthen its position and continue to grow with high profitability. The company's strategy is based on a strong focus on innovative software development with leading functionality, support for efficient workflows – including via digitization and automation with machine learning – broad support for a wide range of treatment modes and radiation therapy devices, close collaboration with world leading cancer centers and industrial partners and extensive investment in research and development.
RaySearch's main revenue is generated by customers paying an initial license fee for the right to use RaySearch's software and an annually recurring service fee for access to updates and support. All software systems are developed at RaySearch's head office in Stockholm and distributed and supported by the company's global marketing organization.
