During the fourth quarter, the improved supply chain situation resulted in strong revenue growth, lower working capital and record level cash flow. The Cost-reduction Initiative supported EBIT margin improvement. Going forward we expect continued revenue growth and improved margins.
The demand for radiotherapy was healthy in the quarter, supporting order backlog growth and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.24. Revenue grew by 10 percent, with strong growth in APAC, and both Elekta's Solutions and Service revenue was solid. We drove margin improvement supported by our Cost-reduction Initiative, most significant in EBIT with close to 3 percentage points compared to last year. Cash flow came in at a record level, due to lower working capital and higher earnings.
For the full year, we delivered 4 percent revenue growth, supported by significant improvement in the supply chain situation in the second half of the year. Revenue growth and the successfully implemented Cost-reduction Initiative resulted in improved margins in the third and fourth quarter compared to last year.
In the quarter Elekta entered into a joint venture with Sinopharm in China, to increase the adoption of radiation therapy at all levels of hospitals throughout the country. The collaboration with Sinopharm will help ensure that Chinese patients will have access to the same high-quality precision radiation therapy, regardless of where they live.
We were proud to announce that Mercurius Health will equip Robert Janker Klinik with integrated oncology solutions from Elekta and Philips over the next three years, contributing to enhanced patient care. The agreement has been enabled by our strategic partnership to advance comprehensive personalized cancer care through the deployment of precision oncology solutions.
We also celebrated that an estimated two million brachy-therapy treatments have been delivered by healthcare providers using Flexitron high dose rate (HDR) afterloader and recently we delivered the 1,000th Flexitron, manufactured at Elekta's facility in Veenendaal.
After the quarter closed, we launched Elekta ONE, a comprehensive suite of end-to-end applications, offering clinicians more automation, more mobility and more time to spend with patients. This new Elekta software enables cancer care teams to plan and manage oncology-specific workflows more efficiently.
During the last two years, the radiotherapy market and Elekta's growth and margins have been pressured by supply chain challenges and component shortages. However, we have seen an improvement in the second half of 2022/23. From today until 2024/25, our outlook is to reach an annual growth rate of above 7 percent and expand our EBIT margin.
In Q1, the uncertain macroeconomic environment remains, but we expect our improvement trend to continue.

10% revenue growth
Order intake was flat based on constant exchange rates compared to last year's high level. With a book-to-bill ratio of 1.24, the order backlog continued to grow. Order backlog amounted to SEK 43,332 M, compared to SEK 39,656 M on April 30, 2022, of which around half of the increase, SEK 1,876 M, was explained by the currency translation effect. MR-Linacs, Neuro and Brachy grew strongly in the quarter, and APAC showed growth driven by China, Japan and India.

1 Based on constant exchange rates.
In the Americas, orders based on constant exchange rates were flat compared to last year's fourth quarter. North America was slightly down driven by a lower order intake in Canada. Throughout Latin America, despite regional economic challenges, growth continued due to increased demand for patient access to radiotherapy.
In EMEA, order intake declined by 4 percent based on constant exchange rates. Europe had good growth, driven by the Southern European markets together with Poland. The Middle East and Africa had a negative order development mainly as a consequence of weak markets in Egypt and Turkey, as these continued to be negatively impacted by their domestic macroeconomic situation.
Orders in APAC increased by 4 percent based on constant exchange rates. The three largest countries in APAC being China, Japan and India, all showed double-digit growth during the fourth quarter. This growth was largely offset by a substantial drop in the large Australian market due to the evaluation of both the licensing and reimbursement structure in the country, putting many new order opportunities on hold.




Elekta's revenues showed strong growth in the quarter driven by a good conversion rate of the order backlog. The installations were still impacted by challenges in the supply chain, but with decreasing disturbances. Based on constant exchange rates, net sales increased by 10 percent. In SEK, net sales increased by 21 percent to SEK 5,125 M (4,239).

Development was positive in all geographic regions, except EMEA. In the Americas, the US had a positive development together with strong growth in Mexico. Europe had good growth in the quarter, but the Middle East & Africa held back development in EMEA. APAC showed strong growth with doubledigit growth in most regions. The already strong installation plan in China for the fourth quarter was topped by the postponed installations due to the Covid outbreak from last quarter.
Service grew with 7 percent based on constant exchange rates with growth in the majority of the business lines. Solutions increased by 12 percent based on constant exchange rates. At the end of the period, Elekta had an installed base of approximately 7,150 devices, of which about 5,250 units were linacs, MR-Linacs or Leksell Gamma Knife systems. 47 percent of the installed base of linacs was in emerging (underserved) markets with growth of more than 40 systems in the quarter.

Adjusted gross margin improved to 37.8 percent (37.0) in the fourth quarter. Higher net sales contributed positively by 300 basis points as well as foreign exchange rates by 260 basis points. These effects were partially offset by higher material costs and inflation of around 200 basis points, and an unfavorable mix of around 280 basis points.
Expenses, excluding items affecting comparability, decreased by 7 percent during the fourth quarter based on constant exchange rates. The decrease is reported across the expense lines of R&D, selling and administration. Net R&D decreased mainly due to lower gross expenses in R&D. Amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of tangible fixed and right-of-use assets amounted to a total of SEK 260 M (263).
Adjusted EBIT came in very strong at SEK 832 M (570), representing a margin of 16.2 percent (13.4) – an improvement of 280 basis points compared to last year. EBIT, including items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 784 M (570), which represented a margin of 15.3 percent (13.4). Items affecting comparability in the fourth quarter consisted mainly of personnel related costs and impairment of assets and amounted to SEK 49 M, whereof SEK 7 M impacted gross margin. Foreign exchange had a positive impact on EBIT. The effect was higher on gross margin than on EBIT due to continued negative impact from hedges.
Net financial items increased to SEK -95 M (-36). Higher debt and increased interest rates were the main drivers. A non-cash effect due to revaluation of the operations in Turkey with regards to its hyperinflation also had an impact1 . Taxes amounted to SEK -142 M (-113), representing a tax rate of 20.7 percent (21.1). Net income amounted to SEK 547 M (421) and earnings per share amounted to SEK 1.43 (1.09) before dilution and SEK 1.43 (1.09) after dilution. Adjusted earnings per share amounted to SEK 1.53 (1.09) before dilution and SEK 1.53 (1.09) after dilution.
Cash flow after continuous investments improved in the fourth quarter to a record high SEK 1,574 M (623). This strong improvement is mainly explained by lower working capital and higher earnings. Investments in intangible assets amounted to SEK 366 M (375) and were mainly related to R&D investments in the Linac family and software. Investments in tangible assets increased to SEK 51 M (43). Cash conversion in the fourth quarter was 186 percent (125).

Net working capital as a percentage of net sales (rolling twelve months) was -8 percent (-6). All working capital items, except other current liabilities, contributed positively to the improved net working capital. Inventory decreased in line with seasonal patterns from large number of installations and as supply chain disruptions improved. Despite more installations in the quarter accounts receivable and accrued income decreased. 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 24.
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments amounted to SEK 3,278 M (3,077). Interest-bearing liabilities, excluding lease liabilities, amounted to SEK 5,721 M (4,609).

Elekta's sustainability agenda is set on improving access to healthcare globally while operating a responsible and sustainable business. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) guide Elekta's approach to sustainability. The sustainability focus areas are: Access to Healthcare, Environmental Action, Business Ethics and People in Focus.
Elekta continues to link the funding to push the company's sustainability agenda. In addition to the sustainability-linked bond issued in 2021, Elekta closed a sustainable revolving credit facility in May 2023. The revolver is based on both social and environmental KPIs and amounts to EUR 250 M.


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 2021/22, page 36.
The war in Ukraine and the previous pandemic have impacted supply chains and led to interest rate and inflation pressure, as well as foreign exchange rate fluctuations affecting Elekta's business and financial results. These factors also impact the economic growth in various markets. In fiscal year 2020/21, the Group's revenue in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine represented about 2 percent. Elekta has neither production nor Tier 1 suppliers in these three countries.
In March, Elekta signed a joint venture with China National Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. (Sinopharm), to increase the adoption of radiation therapy in so-called lower-tier cities, where around 70 percent of the population resides. Through the joint venture, Elekta will improve access to over 1,000 medical institutions in small cities within Sinopharm Group's service network.
In February, Elekta's Comprehensive Motion Management (CMM) with True Tracking and automatic gating for Elekta Unity received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance and became available to clinicians in the U.S.
In February, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated Elekta's targets and commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
In February, Elekta signed an agreement to strengthen its position in Thailand by acquiring business assets from Premier Business Inter (PBI), its current solution and service distributor in Thailand. The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023/24.

1 For more details about the previous significant events please see respective quarterly report.
In the first quarter 2022/23, Elekta accelerated the Resilience and Excellence Program by launching a Cost-reduction Initiative to reduce structural costs and enhance productivity across the organization. The Cost-reduction Initiative will generate annual savings of approximately SEK 450 M. In 2022/23 the Initiative has reduced spending according to plan, amounting to around SEK 200 M. The measures taken included increasing productivity in operations and service, optimizing the innovation pipeline and leveraging the global product organization as well as efficiencies in selling and administration functions. Implementation costs related to the Initiative were expected to amount to up to SEK 400 M but only summed up to on SEK 312 M, reported as items affecting comparability, see page 25.

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.
