CEO COMMENTS

SALES EXCEED SEK 1 BILLION

Sales in 2023 exceeded SEK 1 billion, which is the highest annual sales in the company's history. At the same time, sales for the fourth quarter set a new record as this was the sixth consecutive quarter with record high sales for a comparative quarter. Sales in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 300 M, up 13 percent (6 percent at unchanged exchange rates) compared with the year-on-year period. Cash flow for the quarter was SEK 46 M and EBIT amounted to SEK 44M. This is equivalent to an operating margin of 15 percent, which is an improvement on the year-on-year period, when operating margin was 8 percent. The improved margin was mainly due to increased sales. We are maintaining our momentum and opportunities for continued growth are favorable.

As in earlier quarters of the year, sales for the fourth quarter were not derived from any major orders (the largest single revenue item was SEK 12 M), but mainly comprise a combination of revenues from many small and normal-sized orders as well as stable and growing support revenue. During the year, support revenue increased 29 percent and accounted for 41 percent of total sales. This is a result of new sales of licenses in combination with the fact that we are losing practically no customers. I can also note that sales during the three latest quarters have been very consistent, at SEK 230 M, SEK 240 M and SEK 253 M, respectively. However,

we have historically seen major fluctuations between quarters though it is possible that the trend with more consistent sales between quarters could continue. Order intake for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 318 M. The corresponding figure for 2022 was SEK 514 M. The large difference is explained by the fact that we received our largest order ever in the fourth quarter of 2022, when IBA placed an order for RayStation and RayCare for nine new proton centers in Spain worth SEK 188 M. To summarize, RaySearch has a strong financial position with cash and cash equivalents of SEK 344 M, stable cash flow and no loans excluding leasing.

RAYSTATION IN MORE THAN 1,000 RADIOTHERAPY CENTERS WORLDWIDE

I am proud to see that we have passed a milestone in terms of the number of cancer centers that are our customers. Since launching the first version of RayStation in 2009, we have invested significant resources in developing the most advanced treatment planning system in the world. Today, when more than 1,000 centers in 43 countries have purchased RayStation, we can see that our efforts have paid off. Moreover, we can note that ten of the 15 highest ranked cancer hospitals in the world, according to a ranking by Newsweek, are current customers of ours. This reflects our strong position also in the top segment and confirms RaySearch as a leading vendor of high-quality cancer treatment. Our solutions are appreciated by the majority of the most advanced cancer hospitals around the world, which also indicates that over time we ought to be able to continue to increase our total market share.

A GOOD YEAR THAT PAVES THE WAY FOR CONTINUED POSITIVE TREND

It is gratifying to note that the positive trend we saw during the first three quarters of 2023 has continued into the final quarter of the year. Our strong order backlog (SEK 1,864 M in the quarter) and the steadily-growing support revenue contributed to the positive growth and favorable end to the year. As previously communicated, focus is on improving the operating margin, with the target of a minimum of 20 percent within three years. I feel confident that we will achieve this goal. Considering the company's strong financial position and good future prospects an ordinary dividend of SEK 0.70 per share and an extra dividend of SEK 1.30 per share is proposed.

Finally, I would like to thank all our employees for the past year. Together, we have very good conditions for succeeding with our joint mission – to continue the advancement of cancer care to save lives and improve quality of life for cancer patients.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

RaySearch operates in a market with uneven order flows where large 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.

ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BACKLOG

In the fourth quarter of 2023, order intake amounted to SEK 317.7 M (514.4), a decrease of 38.2 percent yearon-year. The large decrease compared to 2022 is explained by the fact that the order intake for 2022 include a large order from IBA of SEK 188 M. License order intake amounted to SEK 160.1 M (284.9), a decrease of 43.8 percent, while order intake for support was SEK 110.2 M (173.4), a decrease of 36.4 percent.

For the full-year 2023, order intake amounted to SEK 1,004.2 M (1,218.5), a decrease of 17.6 percent compared to the same period last year which is explained by the large order from IBA during Q4 2022 of SEK 188 M. Order intake of licenses amounted to SEK 461.7 M (569.3), a decrease of 18.9 percent, while order intake for support amounted to SEK 390.8 M (501.0), a decrease of 22.0 percent.

At December 31, 2023, the total order backlog was SEK 1,864.4 M (1,940.1), of which SEK 460.8 M is expected to generate revenue over the next 12 months. The remaining amount in the order backlog mainly pertains to support commitments that will primarily generate revenue during a subsequent four-year period.

REVENUE

In the fourth quarter of 2023, net sales amounted to SEK 299.6 M (264.4), an increase of 13.3 percent compared to the same period last year. The change in sales at unchanged exchange rates was 6.1 percent (21.7).

License revenue amounted to SEK 138.9 M (131.9), an increase of 5.3 percent compared to last year. Support revenue amounted to SEK 120.1 M (85.9), an increase of 39.8 percent, accounting for 40 percent (32) of total net sales in the fourth quarter. The support revenue include non-recurring items of SEK 8.5 M.

Hardware sales, which have a weaker operating margin, amounted to SEK 31.4 M (40.5). Excluding hardware sales, sales increased 19.8 percent compared to the same period last year.

For the full-year of 2023, net sales amounted to SEK 1,022.2 M (843.6), an increase of 21.2 percent. License revenue amounted to SEK 441.8 M (388.5), support revenue increased to SEK 415.9 M (323.1), hardware revenue increased to SEK 128.4 M (105.8) and training and other revenue increased to SEK 36.1 M (26.3).

In 2023, net sales had the following geographic distribution: North America, 41 percent (47); Asia, Pacific region and Middle East, 21 percent (22); Europe and the rest of the world, 38 percent (31).

OPERATING PROFIT

In the fourth quarter of 2023, operating profit increased to SEK 44.4 M (20.7), representing an operating margin of 14.8 percent (7.8). Net sales increased in the fourth quarter to SEK 299.6 M (264.4) and was mainly due to higher support revenue, which amounted to SEK 120.1 M (85.9) for the October-December period. The bulk of this amount is derived from Europe and the rest of the world. Operating expenses amounted to SEK 222.7 M (196.5), the increase is primarily due to higher selling expenses regarding sales and marketing activities as a result of more normalized activity levels post-covid. The company's administrative expenses are higher mainly due to increased salary costs including bonuses, cost for external consultants and IT-costs.

In the fourth quarter, the net of exchange-rate gains and losses amounted to SEK -3.7 M (-9.6) since a large proportion of the Group's receivables are denominated in USD and EUR. Adjusted for the effects of these currency translations, operating profit for the fourth quarter would have amounted to SEK 48.1 M (30.3).

For the full-year 2023, operating profit increased to SEK 114.9 M (42.7), representing an operating margin of 11.2 percent (5.1). The increase is attributable to higher net sales combined with a comparatively lower increase in the company's operating expenses costs for the full-year.

Currency effects

The company's net sales and earnings are impacted by USD/EUR to SEK exchange rates, since most sales are invoiced in USD and EUR, while most costs are denominated in SEK.

Based on the year's revenue, cost and currency structure (transaction exposure), a general change of one percentage point in the SEK to USD exchange rate would have impacted the consolidated operating profit by approximately +/- SEK 1.4 M in the fourth quarter of 2023, while a corresponding change in the SEK to EUR exchange rate would have impacted the consolidated operating profit by approximately +/- SEK 1.6 M.

The Group follows the financial policy established by the Board of Directors, whereby exchange-rate fluctuations are not hedged.

Capitalization of development costs

RaySearch is a research and development-oriented company that makes significant investments in the development of software solutions for improved cancer treatment. At December 31, 2023, 200 employees (193) were engaged in research and development, corresponding to 52 percent (52) of the total number of employees.

Research and development costs after adjustments

67.9 61.4 57.7 50.1 60.1 237.0 238.8

In 2023, RaySearch continued to invest in both existing products and future products. During the fourth quarter, research and development costs amounted to SEK 76.8 M (58.5), an increase mainly due to an adjustment of certain personnel costs from selling expenses to research and development costs as a result of an updated classification of the company's personnel cost. Additionally, the adjustment leads to increased capitalization of development costs and is recognized in the fourth quarter and pertains to the full-year 2023. During the full-year 2023, research and development costs amounted to SEK 248.6 M (234.6), an increase of 6.0 percent compared to the same period last year and accounts for 24 percent (28) of the company's net sales.

Capitalized development costs amounted to SEK 184.4 M (188.0) for the full-year, which is a reduction of 1.9 percent compared to the same period last year. Accordingly, capitalized development costs amounted to 74 percent (80) of the total research and development costs for 2023.

Amortization of capitalized development costs amounted to SEK 172.8 M (192.2) for the full-year, which is a reduction of 10.1 percent compared to the same period last year. This reduction is attributable to the fact that some development projects were fully amortized at the end of 2022.

Total research and development costs (after adjustments for capitalization and amortization of development costs) amounted to SEK 237.0 M (238.8) for the full-year 2023, a reduction of 0.8 percent compared to the same period last year.

Amortization and depreciation

In the fourth quarter of 2023, total amortization and depreciation decreased to SEK 75.3 M (78.0), a reduction of 3.5 percent compared to the same period last year. Amortization of intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 46.4 M (50.9). Depreciation of tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 28.9 M (27.0).

Total amortization and depreciation for the full-year amounted to SEK 285.2 M (297.0), of which amortization of intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 172.8 M (192.4), mainly related to capitalized development costs. Depreciation of tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 112.4 M (104.6).

PROFIT AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

In the fourth quarter of 2023, profit after tax amounted to SEK 31.5 M (14.1), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 0.92 (0.41) before and after dilution.

For the full-year 2023, profit for the period totaled SEK 81.6 M (23.8), representing earnings per share of SEK 2.38 (0.69) before and after dilution.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, the tax cost amounted to SEK 12.2 M (4.1), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 28.0 percent (22.5). For the full-year 2023, the tax cost amounted to SEK 28.5 M (8.6), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 25.9 percent (26.6).

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY

In the fourth quarter of 2023, cash flow from operating activities totaled SEK 115.8 M (116.1). For the full-year 2023, cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 456.0 M (320.7). The increase is mainly a result of an improved profit before tax of SEK 78 M and an increase in working capital of SEK 55 M generated by lower operating receivables which had a negative effect in the report for 2022.

In the fourth quarter, cash flow from investing activities totaled SEK -64.6 M (-52.8). Investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -56.2 M (-49.4) and mainly comprised capitalized development costs for the company's products – RayStation, RayCare, RayCommand and RayIntelligence. Investments in tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -8.4 M (-3.4) and are attributable to investments in IT equipment. For the full-year 2023, cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -209.3 M (-201.4).

In the fourth quarter, cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -5.7 M (-20.6) and to SEK -56.3 M (- 72.5) for the full-year 2023 and comprised the repayment of lease liabilities. The decrease during the quarter is a result of a few large invoices concerning 2023 but were paid in January 2024.

Cash flow for the period equaled SEK 45.5 M (42.8) in the fourth quarter, and SEK 190.3 M (46.8) for the fullyear.

At December 31, consolidated cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 343.7 M compared to SEK 160.3 M at December 31, 2022.

FINANCIAL POSITION

At December 31, 2023, RaySearch's total assets amounted to SEK 1,952.7 M compared to SEK 1,876.0 M at December 31, 2022. At December 31, the equity/assets ratio was 37.7 percent compared to 35.0 percent for the full-year 2022.

In June 2023, the company renegotiated its financing solution with the bank. Accordingly, in addition to cash and cash equivalents of SEK 343.7 M, RaySearch has an overdraft facility of SEK 75.0 M (50.0) of which SEK 0 M (0) had been drawn at the end of the period. The previous unutilized revolving loan facility of SEK 150 M was terminated in conjunction with the increase of the overdraft facility from SEK 50 M to SEK 75 M.

At December 31, 2023, the company's interest-bearing liabilities, comprising only lease liabilities recognized in accordance with IFRS 16, amounted to SEK 529.4 M compared with SEK 555.4 M at December 31, 2022.

At December 31, the Group's net debt amounted to SEK 185.7 M compared to SEK 395.0 M at December 31, 2022, a reduction that is due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents and lower lease liabilities compared to the preceding year.

EMPLOYEES

During the January-December period of 2023, the average number of employees in the Group was 376 (382). At year-end, the Group had 388 employees (370), of whom 281 (267) were based in Sweden, and 108 (103) in foreign subsidiaries.

PARENT COMPANY

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 applicable to 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 was also not affected by the changes pertaining to lease recognition under IFRS 16, and instead continues to recognize lease payments as operating lease payments. 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.

THE COMPANY'S SHARE

At December 31, the total number of registered shares in RaySearch was 34,282,773, of which 7,654,975 were Class A and 26,627,798 Class B shares. The quotient value is SEK 0.50 and the company's share capital amounts to SEK 17,141,386.50. Holders of Class A shares are entitled to 10 votes per share, and holders of Class B shares are entitled to one vote per share, at general meetings. At December 31, 2023, the total number of votes in RaySearch was 103,177,584.

NOTES, GROUP

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The accounting principles applied are consistent with those described in the 2022 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 respects. 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.

CORRECTION OF ERROR

In this report, it has been noted that the cash flow in comparative figures is incorrect. The error consists of incorrect classification and calculation regarding cash flow attributable to the Group's leases and has been adjusted in this report. The correction only affects the classification of cash flows between the different categories and does not affect the total cash flow for the period. The Group's quarterly overview has also been restated. The income statement and consolidated statement of financial position have not been adjusted. Corrections in cash flow are presented in the tables below.

NOTE 3 ESTIMATES

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 those in the most recent Annual Report.

NOTE 4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

RaySearch's financial assets and liabilities comprise billed and unbilled receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accrued expenses, accounts payable and lease liabilities. Long-term receivables and lease liabilities are discounted, while other financial assets and liabilities have short maturities. Accordingly, the fair value 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. At December 31, 2023, the credit loss provision amounted to SEK 37.4 M (45.1), corresponding to 8 percent (11) of total customer receivables. The provision for expected credit losses has decreased due to the derecognition of realized credit losses of SEK 7.7 M that were reserved in earlier periods.

NOTE 5 RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

There were no transactions between RaySearch and related parties with any material impact on the company's position and earnings during the period.

VISION AND MISSION

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.

STRATEGY

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.

BUSINESS MODEL

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.
