We saw strong order intake in APAC driven by China and India and growth in Americas. Europe had tough comparables due to last years' large South European tenders. We are now installing these systems for the benefit of our customers and their patients in Italy and Spain. We had a book-to-bill ratio of 1 in the quarter and a record order backlog of SEK 44 billion. Our global market shares strengthened in a softer linac market in the quarter.
Revenue growth of 8 percent were stronger than the market growth. Gross margins were significantly improved by good topline growth, lower logistics costs and the positive impacts from the Cost-reduction Initiative. We delivered strong margin expansion in the quarter resulting in an EBIT margin increase of 7.2 percentage points.
Since launching our strategy, ACCESS 2025, in June 2021, it has guided us successfully through the first two challenging years of the period. In June this year we provided an update to the strategy at our Capital Markets Day (CMD). We are now entering the second half of ACCESS 2025 with good momentum to focus on value creation, for patients, customers and our shareholders. One focus area at the CMD was our strategic pillar of accelerating innovation. During the last two years we have launched products across our portfolio and we are now bringing online adaptive technology across all our solutions to increase value and patient outcomes. We also presented the recently launched Elekta ONE software suite, designed to increase productivity while managing clinicians' need for more complex workflows and personalized care.
With Unity, Elekta delivers ground-breaking MR-guided radiotherapy technology that will change the standard of care for many cancers over the coming years. It is also a sound value proposition for clinics and healthcare systems. Treatments are becoming quicker and require less staff. It also will open the possibility for even more radical changes in the way that radiation is used in cancer care. An important part of the Unity journey is the MOMENTUM study, a multi-institutional international registry facilitating evidenced based implementation of the Unity MR-Linac technology. Since it started in 2019, the MOMENTUM study has now enrolled 4,500 patients.
During this quarter we hosted the 18th MR-Linac Consortium that brought together almost 90 centers and 600 participants in a range of different centers, different disciplines, doctors, physicists and radiographers with a common mission to improve patient care and optimize the MR-Linac as a standard treatment modality.
We have seen significant improvement during the last three quarters, both in revenue growth and margin expansion, that we expect will continue into next quarter. However, we also expect the inflationary pressure to continue.
Gustaf Salford President and CEO

8% revenue growth
In total, order intake in the first quarter amounted to SEK 3,839 M (3,871), a decline of 1 percent in SEK and 7 percent based on constant exchange rates.
Order intake in APAC was strong with double-digit growth rates driven by strong momentum in China, India and Thailand. The moderate growth in the Americas was explained by a weaker development in the U.S. and Canada but good growth in Latin America led by Mexico. Within EMEA both Europe and the Middle East & Africa had negative development. The order intake was heavily impacted by tough comparables in Europe due to last years' large tenders in Southern Europe. The European development impacted mature markets, which more than offset the double-digit growth in emerging markets.
The book-to-bill ratio was 1.0 and the order backlog amounted to SEK 44,120 M, compared to SEK 43,332 M on April 30, 2023. The positive translation effect due to the conversion to closing exchange rates amounted to SEK 1,013 M.

Based on constant exchange rates Elekta's revenues showed good growth of 8 percent in the first quarter, with growth in both mature and emerging markets. In SEK, net sales increased by 15 percent to SEK 3,828 M (3,327). The development was mainly driven by strong performance in APAC and EMEA.

APAC and EMEA both showed double digit growth. The European growth was driven by installations from the recent large tenders in Italy and Spain, though France also showed good growth. Development in APAC was good throughout the region, with particularly strong growth in India and Thailand. In the Americas installations in the U.S. and Canada were somewhat lower than last year, while Mexico showed good growth.
Service grew with 7 percent based on constant exchange rates with growth in most of the business lines. Solutions increased by 9 percent in constant exchange rates. At the end of the quarter, Elekta had an installed base of approximately 7,200 devices.

2 Rolling twelve months.

Adjusted gross margin improved to 41.6 percent (38.9) in the first quarter. The main explanation for the higher margin was lower logistics expenses and a positive impact from the Cost-reduction Initiative. Changes in foreign exchange rates had a positive impact on gross income.
Expenses, excluding items affecting comparability, decreased by 1 percent during the first quarter based on constant exchange rates. The expenses were positively impacted by last year's Cost-reduction Initiative. R&D and administration expenses decreased whereas selling expenses increased due to more customer events. Less gross R&D, partly offset by a seasonal lower capitalization, explained the lower net R&D. Amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of tangible fixed and right-of-use assets amounted to a total of SEK 281 M (262).
Adjusted EBIT came in very strong at SEK 427 M (132), representing a margin of 11.2 percent (4.0) – an improvement of 720 basis points compared to last year. EBIT, including items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 412 M (117), which represented a margin of 10.8 percent (3.5). Items affecting comparability in the first quarter consisted mainly of personnelrelated costs and amounted to SEK 14 M (14), whereof SEK 1 M (7) impacted gross margin. Changes in foreign exchange rates had a positive impact on EBIT. 1
Net financial items increased to SEK -107 M (-39). Higher debt and increased interest rates were the main drivers. Taxes amounted to SEK -67 M (-18), representing a tax rate of 22 percent (23). Net income amounted to SEK 238 M (60) and earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.62 (0.16) before and after dilution. Adjusted earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.65 (0.19) before and after dilution.
Cash flow after continuous investments came in at SEK -900 M (-594). The decline is mainly a result of build-up of working capital with a low net working capital at year-end 2022/23. Investments in intangible assets amounted to SEK 303 M (348) and were mainly related to R&D investments in oncology solutions and software. Investments in tangible assets decreased to SEK 43 M (47). Cash conversion in the first quarter was -80 percent (-52).

Net working capital as a percentage of net sales (rolling twelve months) was stable at -4 percent (-4). Compared to year-end, working capital was impacted by a seasonal build-up of inventories. The yearly inventory adjustment also had an impact on the higher inventory. Increased sales towards the end of the quarter led to higher accounts receivable. Accrued income rose due to a larger share of installations in Southern Europe with longer billing terms. Increased shipments generated higher customer advances. All individual working capital items were impacted by currency movements, while the net effect on the total working capital from currencies was limited. For more information, see page 25.
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments amounted to SEK 2,367 M (2,423). Interest-bearing liabilities, excluding lease liabilities, amounted to SEK 5,798 M (4,640). Net debt increased to SEK 3,431 M (2,217) as a result of continuous investments in innovation. Net debt in relation to EBITDA was 1.18 (0.86). The average maturity of interestbearing liabilities was 4.1 years.

Elekta continues to integrate sustainability into our processes and strategy. In the long-term incentive program (LTIP), suggested to the Annual General Meeting on August 24 Elekta has, in addition to the total shareholder return, linked two selected sustainability targets to further support our sustainability ambitions globally. One ESG-related target relates to emissions reduction, and one relates to installation of linacs in underserved markets.
Energy consumed in Elekta's own operations, scope 1+2, is limited. The majority of Elekta's carbon footprint are in scope 3 such as emissions in our supply chain and in the use phase of our products. Elekta works continuously to improve emissions data quality. Recently data improvements have been recorded, mainly in product power consumption.


During the quarter, Elekta has welcomed a Director for Diversity, Inclusion and Culture. This role will ensure that diversity and inclusion become an even more integral part of our culture.
Elekta Foundation is a partner in the extended sustainability agenda of Elekta and as such it has been focusing on cervical cancer in Rwanda.
Elekta's presence in many geographical markets exposes the Group to political and economic risks on a global scale and/or in individual countries. For more details, please see the Annual Report 2022/23, page 25.
During the first quarter, Elekta completed the acquisition of the Thai business from Premier Business Inter (PBI), its previous solution and service distributor in Thailand. Through the acquisition Elekta aims to strengthen its position in Thailand.
In June, one of Elekta's larger customers, GenesisCare, filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. During the restructuring, GenesisCare intends to operate in the ordinary course without disruption to patient care as well as to explore separation of its U.S. business from its business in Australia, Spain and the UK, creating two platforms. Elekta is closely following the process in order to understand the implications on Elekta's business.
Elekta has continued to receive payments from the customer in the first quarter. No specific additional provision has been recorded as the estimated exposure as per the closing date is within the existing provisions.
In May, Elekta changed the management structure by introducing an Executive Committee. The Executive Committee has seven members, all reporting directly to the President and CEO. At the same time, the previous Executive Management team has been extended with new members representing key areas in the business. This change was made to drive a more simplified and customer-oriented company and bring a seamless experience, enhanced relations, and faster support to Elekta's customers.
During May, Elekta announced the launch of the first phase of Elekta ONE, a comprehensive suite of end-to-end applications that offers clinicians more automation, more mobility, and more time to spend with patients. It brings all Elekta software products, solutions and services under one umbrella providing all users with one unified software experience.



In June, Elekta announced to have closed its inaugural sustainability-linked revolving credit facility for EUR 250 million. The facility is based on both social and environmental key performance indicators (KPIs) and follows on Elekta's sustainability-linked bond, issued in 2021. The sustainability-linked refinancing reflects Elekta's commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
In June, the Nomination Committee proposed that the 2023 Annual General Meeting re-elect Laurent Leksell, Caroline Leksell Cooke, Kelly Londy, Wolfgang Reim, Jan Secher, Birgitta Stymne Göransson and Cecilia Wikström, and elect Tomas Eliasson and Volker Wetekam, as Directors for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting. Further, the Nomination Committee proposed that Laurent Leksell is re-elected as the Chair of the Board of Directors. Johan Malmquist has declined re-election.
During 2022/23, Elekta had a Cost-reduction Initiative to reduce structural costs and enhance productivity across the organization. During 2022/23 annual savings of approximately SEK 450 M was achieved, at one-off implementation costs of SEK 312 M.
During 2023/24, actions of the Cost-reduction Initiative will continue, although at a significantly lower level. In the first quarter 2023/24 an annual spending of SEK 11 M was reduced, at an implementation cost of SEK 14 M. The implementation costs are reported as items affecting comparability, see page 26.
The average number of employees during the period was 4,464 (4,723). The average number of employees in the Parent Company was 53 (60).
Total number of registered shares on July 31, 2023, was 383,568,409, of which 14,980,769 were A-shares and 368,587,640 B-shares. On July 31, 2023, 1,485,289 shares were treasury shares held by Elekta.

Elekta applies geographical segmentation. Order intake, 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. Revenue from solutions are recognized at a point in time and revenue from services are recognized over time.
