Forward-looking information. This report included forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, statements relation to operational and financial performance, market conditions, and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about future events. Although the expectations described in these statements are assumed to be reasonable, there is no guarantee that such forward-looking statements will materialize or are accurate. Since these statements involve assumptions and estimates that are subject to risks and uncertainties, results could differ materially from those set out in the statement. Some of these risks and uncertainties are described further in the section "Risk and uncertainties". Elekta undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law or stock exchange regulations.
Elekta experienced challenging market conditions in the quarter. Revenue growth continued, but disturbances in supply chains and inflation impacted costs and margins. To mitigate these effects, we are initiating an additional Costreduction Initiative to our Resilience and Excellence Program to secure profitable growth going forward.
The global macroeconomic turmoil impacted market conditions and order intake came in lower than last year. EMEA and APAC drove growth. Americas orders declined, but had a difficult comparison. We continue to drive adoption of the best cancer care around the world. Some of the highlights in the quarter were the comprehensive deal with Kaduna Cancer Center in Nigeria, including a Unity, Harmony and Leksell Gamma Knife, as well as good progress with the larger tenders in Europe with booked orders in Spain.
During the quarter we could increase market and customer events after a long period of restrictions. At ESTRO in May we launched our new Leksell Gamma Knife platform, and at the MR-Linac Consortium meeting in Houston, the 75 members presented advances in their clinical and technical research utilizing the ground-breaking treatment platform.
Installations came in at similar levels as last year and service drove the growth in the quarter. Increased net sales and a favorable product mix enabled an improved gross margin, despite continued high freight rates and logistics costs. We increased our prices to mitigate the impact from inflation, but it will take some time before the increases translate into higher profitability. The combination of continued headwinds from supply chain challenges, component shortages, as well as increased market activity and increased inflation led to high cost levels and continued pressure on margins.
We are accelerating our ongoing Resilience and Excellence Program and launching a Cost-reduction Initiative to sequentially support margin expansion. The Initiative focuses on increasing productivity, optimizing the innovation pipeline and driving efficiencies. The Initiative aims at reducing spending by a run rate of around SEK 450 M and will result in implementation costs of up to SEK 400 M.
In the coming quarter we expect the uncertain macroeconomic environment and supply chain challenges to continue to impact installations, costs, and margins.
Gustaf Salford President and CEO

Despite the continuing global macroeconomic challenges Elekta had good order momentum in two of the three regions in the first quarter. Strong pent-up demand and several larger tenders drove this positive development. However, the slowdown in Americas, which was related to strong comparable figures, led to a total decline of 11 percent in order intake based on constant exchange rates.
Order backlog increased both in SEK and based on constant exchange rates, and amounted to SEK 40,540 M, compared to SEK 39,656 M on April 30, 2022. During the first quarter, one customer went into liquidation and this event led to order cancellation in the backlog. The positive translation effect due to the conversion to closing exchange rates amounted to SEK 967 M.

1 Based on constant exchange rates.
In the Americas, reported order intake decreased by 43 percent during the first quarter based on constant exchange rates. This decline was mainly explained by strong order growth in the comparing quarter, but also some cautiousness in the U.S. customers' investment decisions. Canada continued the good order intake for the fifth consecutive quarter and positive development was also seen in some Latin American countries.
EMEA had a strong order growth of 11 percent based on constant exchange rates. The order intake in Europe was boosted by orders from regional Spanish hospitals following the large public tender announced earlier, and a good development in other important RT markets like Germany, France, and the UK. The Middle East and Africa continued to show growth including a large order to Nigeria in West Africa.
Orders in APAC returned to good growth despite a continued overall market contraction in China. During the first quarter order intake increased by 9 percent based on constant exchange rates. The growth was driven by the development in the mature markets such as Japan and Korea, but also the Indian market. The Chinese market continued to be impacted by local lockdowns, but Elekta strengthened its market leading position during the quarter. The Philippines and Indonesia, where Elekta opened the latest sales offices, continued to show good growth.





Elekta secured stable revenue growth in the first quarter, but net sales continued to be negatively impacted by supply chain disturbances and component shortages, which leads to multiple deliveries and postponements in installations. Based on constant exchange rates, net sales increased by 3 percent in the first quarter. In SEK, net sales increased by 11 percent to SEK 3,327 M (3,009).

1 Based on constant exchange rates.
Geographically, region Americas and EMEA contributed to the revenue growth. In the Americas, the U.S. market was solid, and Canada showed good growth. EMEA was largely driven by installations in Italy and Spain, but also some emerging markets in Africa. The flat development in APAC is mainly explained by a decline in mature markets, despite continued growth in India and China, even if local lockdowns delayed Chinese installations.
Service grew with 6 percent based on constant exchange rates and showed growth across all business lines. Solutions decreased by 1 percent based on constant exchange rates. At the end of the period Elekta had an installed base of approximately 6,900 devices, of which more than 5,000 units were linacs, MR-Linacs or Leksell Gamma Knife systems. 46 percent of the installed base of linacs was in emerging (underserved) markets with growth of around 30 systems in the quarter.

2 Rolling twelve months.
Adjusted gross margin improved and amounted to 38.9 percent (37.1) in the first quarter. The increase compared to last year had a positive impact from product mix of approximately 250 basis points, higher sales volume of approximately 120 basis points and foreign exchange rates of approximately 110 basis points. These effects were partly offset by increased supply chain costs and inflation of approximately 300 basis points.
Operating expenses increased by 3 percent during the first quarter based on constant exchange rates. The increase is explained by higher selling and administrative expenses, partly offset by decreased net R&D expenditure. The higher expenses reflect more in-person customer events and meetings including travel and exhibitions such as ESTRO and AAPM. On a rolling twelve-month basis, gross R&D expenditure to net sales was 15 percent (12), relating to accelerated investments in innovations. Net R&D expenditure decreased versus last year as R&D projects proceeded and amortizations were lower. Amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of tangible fixed assets amounted to a total of SEK 262 M (278). Foreign exchange hedges had a negative impact on adjusted EBIT. Adjusted EBIT was SEK 132 M (201) representing a margin of 4.0 percent (6.7). EBIT including items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 117 M (201), which represented a margin of 3.5 percent (6.7). The SEK 14 M of items affecting comparability related mainly to personnel related costs, whereof SEK 7 M was impacting gross margin.
Net financial items increased to SEK -39 M (-36). The key driver was higher interest expenses as a result of increased interest rates. Tax amounted to SEK -18 M (-40), representing a tax rate of 23.0 percent (24.0). Net income amounted to SEK 60 M (126) and earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.16 (0.33) before and after dilution. Adjusted earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.19 (0.33) before and after dilution. Return on shareholders' equity amounted to 13 percent (14) and return on capital employed was 11 percent (12).
With SEK -594 M (-343) the first quarter cash flow was lower compared to last year due to higher working capital and increased continuous investments in accordance with the accelerated focus on innovations. Investments in intangible assets amounted to SEK 348 M (225) and were mainly related to R&D investments in the Linac family and software. Investments in tangible assets increased to SEK 47 M (37). Cash conversion in the first quarter was -52 percent and followed a normal seasonal pattern. Based on rolling twelve months, cash conversion was 67 percent.

Net working capital as a percentage of net sales (rolling twelve-month) was stable with -4 percent (-4). Strong collections in Europe resulted into lower accounts receivables in the quarter. The higher inventory level was a result of the extended supply chain lead times and fewer installations. Customer advances increased mainly in the U.S. due to more project invoicing. All individual working capital items were significantly impacted by currency movements, while the net effect on the total working capital from currencies was limited. For more information, see page 23.
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments amounted to SEK 2,423 M (3,652). Interest-bearing liabilities excluding lease liabilities amounted to SEK 4,640 M (4,836). Net debt increased to SEK 2,217 M (1,183) as a result of accelerated investments in innovation. Net debt in relation to EBITDA was 0.86 (0.40). The average maturity of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.8 years.

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 is well ahead of the goal to make radiotherapy accessible to 300 million more people in underserved markets by 2025. During 2021/22, 175 (163) linacs were installed in underserved markets. Since the program started in May 2020, 338 linacs have been installed, which means that additional 123 million cancer patients in underserved markets have gotten access to advanced radiotherapy. Recent orders and installations in


Africa include a wide range of Elekta solutions across countries such as Nigeria, Namibia, Kenya, and Morocco.
Elekta has committed to set emission reduction targets in accordance with climate science. Elekta's targets follow the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) criteria covering Elekta's operational as well as value chain emissions. Emission reduction targets covering Scopes 1–3 have been submitted to SBTi during the first quarter and are awaiting validation. Progress will be reported in the Annual Report 2022/23.
Elekta has achieved its goal to implement a Third-Party Monitoring program and complete the monitoring process for 40 percent of the total third-party population during an 18-month period. This provides reasonable assurance that Elekta's third parties follow the applicable laws and business ethics standards set out in our Code of Conduct, when acting on Elekta's behalf. By end of 2022/23, Elekta aims to complete monitoring activities for the remaining population in the scope of the Third-Party monitoring program. Elekta's programs are continuously benchmarked with peer companies, and the performance against best practice is measured through participation in external surveys.
Elekta's eNPS (employer Net Promoter Score) increased to 28 (23) in 2021/22 and the annual employee survey saw an increase of all indices. Elekta's mid-term goal is to have an eNPS at 34 in 2024/25. An improved overall employee experience shall be achieved from individual employee and team discussions, comprehensive or pulse surveys and other dialogue forums.
Elekta's presence in a large number of geographical markets exposes the Group to political and economic risks on a global scale and/or in individual countries. For more details, please see Annual Report 2021/22, page 36.
On February 24, 2022, Russia initiated an invasion of Ukraine. In fiscal year 2020/21 and the first nine-months of fiscal year 2021/22 Group revenue in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine represented about 2 percent. On a global scale the war impacted the supply chain costs and prolonged lead times. Elekta has neither production nor Tier 1 suppliers in these three countries.
In May, Elekta launched the next-generation Gamma Knife, Elekta Esprit, that will enable personalized radiosurgery with submillimeter accuracy and treatment planning in less than 60 seconds. With a variety of innovations now available in a single platform, Esprit offers clinicians superior visualization, as well as remote accessibility and collaboration tools for the treatment team.

In May, Elekta and the Netherlands Cancer Institute, a leading Dutch comprehensive cancer center, announced that they have entered a ten-year strategic partnership and R&D alliance to bring cutting edge cancer treatment to patients and to collaborate on developing the next generation of radiation therapy solutions.
In June, the Nomination Committee announced that they propose that the AGM 2022 reelects the current board members, and elects Kelly Londy as a new member of the Board. Laurent Leksell is also proposed to be reelected as Chairman of the Board.
In May, Carlos Castilleja was appointed Acting EVP Region Americas and member of the Executive Management team as Larry Biscotti left Elekta. As of September 1, Carlos Castilleja has been appointed permanent EVP for the region. During his 15 years at Elekta, Carlos has held several senior positions across the business in Europe and North America, most recently as Senior Vice President for Service and Order Fulfillment. With more than twenty years of customer relations experience in the radiation therapy market, he is an acknowledged leader within our industry, and well respected among customers, colleagues and partners.
Elekta is accelerating 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. The measures include increasing productivity in operations and service as well as optimizing innovation pipeline and leverage global product organization. The Initiative will also drive efficiencies in selling and administration functions. Implementation costs related to the Initiative are expected to amount to up to SEK 400 M and will be reported as items affecting comparability. In the first quarter the implementation costs were SEK 14 M, see page 24.

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 centres and Parent Company are not allocated per region. Currency exposure is concentrated to product supply centres. 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.

Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) are measures and key figures that Elekta's management and other stakeholders use when managing and analyzing Elekta's business performance. These measures are not substitutes, but rather supplements to financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Key figures and other APMs used by Elekta are defined on ir.elekta.com/investors/financials. Definitions and additional information on APMs can also be found on pages 155-157 in the Annual Report 2021/22.
Elekta's order intake and sales are, to a large extent, reported in subsidiaries with other functional currencies than SEK, which is the group reporting currency. In order to present order and sales growth on a more comparable basis and to show the impact of currency fluctuations, order and sales growth based on constant exchange rates are presented. The schedules below present growth based on constant exchange rates reconciled to the total growth reported in accordance with IFRS.
