Third quarter

Strong demand, and supply chain challenges

The demand for Elekta's solutions continued to be strong in the third quarter, the fifth consecutive quarter with underlying order growth, resulting in Elekta's strongest order backlog ever. However, the global supply chain challenges remained, and revenue and margins came in lower than last year. We are fully committed to returning to revenue growth and margin expansion.

Recovery in emerging markets

We experienced strong demand in the third quarter, driven by Europe and recovery in several emerging markets such as Egypt and India. During the Arab Health conference in Dubai, I experienced first-hand the many activities addressing the large need for radiation oncology in the Middle East & Africa. One example of progress was the signing of a significant deal with Elevate Healthcare, where we will deliver Solutions to establish state-of-the-art cancer centers in Egypt and Ghana.

Supply chain challenges

The global supply chain and logistics challenges remained, and total revenue came in at -3 percent in the quarter. Solution revenues declined by 9 percent due to the longer supply chain lead times. Service revenue increased by 7 percent, growing faster than the installed base.

Increased costs for logistics and components continued to put pressure on margins of additional around 300 bps compared to the third quarter last year. Most of the effect came from higher freight costs. Margins were also affected by lower installation volumes compared to plan. I am not satisfied with our current level of profitability, and we are further accelerating our resilience and excellence activities.

Delivering on our strategy, ACCESS 2025

During the quarter we established a sales office in Manila. A direct presence will allow Elekta to better address the large gap in access to radiation therapy in the Philippines and provide new and existing customers with service, education and training, and faster access to the latest cancer care solutions.

We are accelerating our customers adoption of innovation and we continue to successfully roll out Unity, the clinical evidence journey is progressing well, and we have also received great feedback on the new functionalities launched at ASTRO. Our new linac, Harmony, is developing very well. Its enabling of improved productivity, precision and versatility makes it ideal to address the increased cancer care backlogs in many healthcare systems.

Looking forward

Our order growth confirms Elekta's competitive offer, and our strong commitment to customers generates a strong platform for profitable growth going forward.

For the fourth quarter we expect higher installation volumes than last year, but component shortages will continue to be challenging.

Gustaf Salford President and CEO

Strongest order backlog ever

8% order growth

Third quarter Order intake and order backlog

The positive order trend seen in the last four quarters continued this quarter. The pandemic challenges in the emerging markets eased and these markets drove the performance together with a strong development in Europe. Compared to the third quarter last year order intake increased by 8 percent in constant currency. Solutions kept growing with double digits, whereas Service had a soft quarter. The development was good in all business lines but Neuro. Linac had an especially strong performance in the quarter.

Order backlog increased both in constant currency and SEK, and amounted to SEK 37,552 M, compared to SEK 33,293 M on April 30, 2021. The positive translation effect due to the conversion to closing exchange rates amounted to SEK 2,957 M.

2 Excluding the largest deal ever in Elekta's history the growth rate was 11%.

North and South America (Americas)

In the Americas, the reported order intake decreased by 3 percent in constant currency during the third quarter. The region faced tough comparables in the US, and the omicron version of the virus dampened the American order intake. South America returned to growth with larger markets, such as Mexico and Colombia, delivering good growth figures.

Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)

EMEA had a strong order growth of 23 percent in constant currency. Europe continued to show good double-digit growth rate with great performance in every region except southern Europe. The Middle East & Africa returned to growth in this quarter and delivered strong figures. Egypt, Ghana and Turkey were the main growth countries in this part of the region.

Asia Pacific (APAC)

Order intake in APAC decreased by 3 percent in constant currency, driven by a weak Chinese market. Despite this, Elekta managed to increase its market share in China, but the order intake was softer than last year. The strong growth in India, Japan and New Zealand continued and was joined by a strong growth in Australia. The East Asian market also recovered.

Third quarter Net sales

The turbulence in the freight market and the ongoing challenges of the pandemic made installations in the third quarter difficult. This was mainly noticeable in lower-volume solutions like Unity and Leksell Gamma Knife that rely on global installation teams. The pandemic related challenges have previously been greater in emerging markets than in mature markets, but in the third quarter the installation conditions improved in emerging markets. Based on constant currency net sales declined by 3 percent in the third quarter. In SEK, net sales increased by 1 percent to SEK 3,602 M (3,581).

1 Based on constant currency.

Geographically, all three regions had declining revenues in constant currency. Especially for APAC this was due to a tough comparable quarter. Revenue increased in the emerging part of APAC, but the negative development in more mature markets resulted in an overall decline for APAC. In China installations increased in the quarter. Revenues in Americas benefitted from growth in South America, while the low installation pace in the US continued. In EMEA, the good growth in Europe was offset by a decline in the Middle East & Africa.

Net sales of solutions decreased by 8 percent in constant currency, with growth in the Linac business and Brachy. At the end of the period Elekta had an installed base of approximately 6,800 devices, of which approximately 4,900 units were linacs, MR-Linacs or Leksell Gamma Knife systems. 45 percent of the installed base of linacs were in emerging (underserved) markets with a growth of around 40 systems in the quarter.

Service performed well with a growth rate of 7 percent based on constant currency and had good growth in most business lines.

Third quarter Earnings

Gross margin amounted to 36.7 percent (38.7) in the third quarter. The decrease was mainly explained by pandemic-driven temporarily higher supply chain, logistic and service costs, with an adverse impact of ~300 bps in total. The negative impact was partly offset by improved Solution and Service mix, which had a positive impact of ~100 bps.

Operating expenses during the third quarter increased by 3 percent in constant currency with higher administration costs and selling expenses, which were partly offset by lower net R&D expenditure. Administration costs increased by 14 percent in constant currency, driven by more investments in digitalization. The increase in selling expenses of 19 percent in constant currency was driven by higher business activities and investments in the sales organization. Net R&D expenditure decreased as more projects entered the capitalization phases in line with accelerated investment in innovations and lower amortization from Unity. Gross R&D expenditure to net sales increased to 13 percent (11) on a twelve-month rolling basis (RTM). Amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of tangible fixed assets amounted to a total of SEK 251 M (292) in the quarter. Operating income, EBIT, was SEK 340 M (468), representing a margin of 9.4 percent (13.1). By excluding the contribution to Elekta Foundation of SEK 35 M decided by AGM 2021 the operating margin was 10.4 percent.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -40 M (-48). The key driver was lower interest expenses as a result of a lower level of gross debt. Income after financial items amounted to SEK 300 M (420) and tax amounted to SEK -72 M (-99), representing a tax rate of 24 percent (23.5). Net income amounted to SEK 228 M (321) and earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.60 (0.84) before and after dilution. Return on shareholders' equity amounted to 13 percent (16) and return on capital employed was 11 percent (13).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 573 M (690). Cash flow after continuous investments was SEK 187 M (496). Investments in intangible assets amounted to SEK 331 M (165) in the third quarter. The increase was mainly related to R&D investments in the Linac family and Informatics. Investments in tangible assets increased to SEK 56 M (28) in the third quarter.

Lower earnings and higher continuous investments partly offset by higher reduction of working capital led to lower cash flows in the quarter compared to last year. Cash conversion in the quarter followed a normal seasonal pattern.

Third quarter Working capital

Net working capital increased by SEK 91 M to SEK -387 M (-478) corresponding to -3 percent (-3) of net sales on a twelve-month rolling basis. Accounts receivables increased due to invoiced MR-Linac projects and as a result accrued income decreased. The increased inventory was due to extended supply chain lead times and reflect more systems in transit, which also explain 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 26.

Financial position

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments amounted to SEK 4,366 M (4,640). Interest-bearing liabilities excluding lease liabilities amounted to SEK 6,071 M (5,781). Net debt amounted to SEK 1,705 M (1,140). Net debt in relation to EBITDA was 0.63 (0.35). The average maturity of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.3 years.

Sustainability agenda

Elekta's sustainability agenda is set on improving access to healthcare globally while operating a responsible and sustainable business. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) guides Elekta's approach to sustainability. The sustainability focus areas are: Access to Healthcare, Green Processes, Business Ethics and People in Focus.

Access to Healthcare – Elekta Foundation launched

Based on the decision at the Annual General Meeting 2021 Elekta Foundation was established in the third quarter with the contribution from Elekta of SEK 35 M. Elekta Foundation is an important and integral part of Elekta's ESG strategy and shares Elekta's vision - a world where everyone has access to the best cancer care. As a philanthropic organization, it is governed by a separate board and management with the mission to improve cancer care access in underserved regions and communities.

Third quarter

Elekta Foundation will collaborate with academic institutions, governments and NGOs to drive philanthropic activities. The foundation will focus its initial efforts on the African countries of Kenya, Senegal and Rwanda, focusing on three key areas to improve cancer care access in these low- and middleincome countries:

1) Expand training & education

In radiotherapy, patient outcomes depend on how clinicians use their equipment and techniques. Unfortunately, there is a large knowledge gap in many countries. Some hospitals do have advanced treatment systems, yet lack the expertise required to use them to their full potential and with the highest safety. The Foundation has started working with academic partners to develop various programs to build radiotherapy competencies in underserved markets.

2) Strengthen cancer care infrastructure

The lack of cancer centers, equipment and trained staff is a significant burden in many developing countries. The Foundation will work to develop new tools and models to scale up cancer care infrastructure.

3) Increase awareness & prevention

In collaboration with other NGOs and local governments, the foundation will develop awareness and prevention initiatives. Early screening, detection and treatment are key to increasing the odds of surviving cancer. Radiotherapy techniques, such as brachytherapy, are very effective to treat early-stage patients. For more information see elektafoundation.com.

Risk and uncertainties

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 2020/21, page 34.

Impact from Covid-19

Covid-19 continued to have a negative impact on Elekta's business. During the third quarter the new Covid wave from the contagious omicron variant impacted several markets. Elekta has maintained its strong commitment to customers and their patients by continued focus on installing new devices and servicing the installed base. However, the supply chain challenges remained and had a negative impact on revenue due to longer supply chain lead times. Increased costs for logistics and components continued to put pressure on margins, which also were affected by lower installation volumes.

Overall, Elekta has managed well through the crisis, balancing the safety of employees with the commitments to customers and their patients. The treatment utilization rate in Elekta's installed base has been maintained at normal levels. The production sites of linacs in Crawley, UK and Beijing, China have been fully operational as have the production facilities of Brachy in the Netherlands and Neuro in Sweden. The continuity of Elekta's supplychain has benefitted from a dual source strategy and the fact that Elekta and its suppliers are labelled essential business by relevant government authorities.

Elekta has received governmental grants in the third quarter of SEK 8 M. During the fiscal year 2021/22 Elekta has not received any governmental grants in Sweden and on a global basis received governmental grants amount to approximately SEK 10 M.

Significant events

Segment reporting

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.

Significant events after the quarter

On 14 February, Elekta published preliminary results for the third quarter.

Third quarter and first nine months Alternative performance measures

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 www.elekta.com/investors/financials/definitions. Definitions and additional information on APMs can also be found on pages 155-157 in the Annual Report 2020/21.

Order and sales growth based on constant currency

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 currency are presented. The schedules below present growth based on constant currency reconciled to the total growth reported in accordance with IFRS.
