INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1-MARCH 31, 2021
Johan Löf, CEO of RaySearch.
• The COVID-19 pandemic with temporary reprioritisations in healthcare had a negative impact on sales in the first quarter. The market situation is gradually improving in line with the vaccine rollout and the recovery is expected to continue. At the same time, coronavirus cases are rising in some regions and it is unclear how long it will take before the vaccination program has an effect. RaySearch therefore expects that the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company's sales and earnings will continue for some months to come, mainly because orders may be delayed, but that the pandemic's effects on sales and earnings are expected to gradually diminish in 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic once again had a negative effect on RaySearch's sales in the first quarter of 2021. Market conditions remained challenging in Europe and North America, while the market situation was positive in Asia.
In the first quarter, order intake amounted to SEK 145 M (300), down 52 percent year-on-year. Net sales declined 22 percent to SEK 162 M (209). The change was attributable to significantly lower license sales due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a strong first quarter in 2020. As a result of lower sales, operating profit declined to SEK 12 M (52), representing an operating margin of 8 percent (25). Cash flow was SEK 33 M (-4) in the first quarter.
In light of COVID-19 and the major social and economical changes that are currently taking place, RaySearch will focus on the core business: innovative new products, continuous improvement of existing software and clinical collaborations, that inform our technology and commercial strategy. In 2021, we will continue to
embrace our modified ways of working and collaborating, while moving forward with cautious optimism toward our vision of comprehensive cancer care.
Despite the effects of the pandemic on the company's operations, RaySearch's development team has shown impressive progress along multiple fronts. At the end of the 2020, we launched two new products – RayIntelligence and RayCommand. Both products are contributing to a major diversification of our software portfolio.
RayIntelligence is our platform for data-driven oncology and machine learning. The product is a cloud-based system for analysis,
monitoring and continuous improvement of cancer treatments. This software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform is fully integrated with our RayStation treatment planning system and our RayCare oncology information system, enabling cancer centers to consolidate, structure and search data to individualize treatment protocols and improve patient outcomes. The system provides tools for deep analysis of trends and performance; dashboards for an at-a-glance overview of clinical activities; while the structured data enables clinics to define datasets that are suitable for training machine learning models. RayIntelligence is RaySearch's first product that is only available via annual subscription. This allows customers to pay on an ongoing basis, and avoid making a substantial initial investment.
Elsewhere, the focus is on hardware integration. The RayCommand treatment control system offers unified management and control of main systems in the radiotheraphy treatment room – the treatment machine, treatment couch, imaging systems and patient positioning devices. The goal is to ensure safe and effective patient care, while offering a more consistent user experience and a more efficient workflow – regardless of the type of treatment machine. As such, we see this B2B product as a catalyst for innovation and increased competition in the radiotheraphy equipment market, encouraging new suppliers of systems on the market to integrate RayCommand instead of developing their own control system from scratch.
In 2021, the development of RayStation and RayCare will continue with undiminished strength. One of the main news for RayStation is that we are introducing support for Accuray's CyberKnife machine, and since RayStation already supports TomoTherapy and Radixact, this means that RayStation offers complete support for Accuray's different machine types. During the year, we will also release a large number of new machine learning models. These work with both new and old versions of RayStation, and can be used directly by customers in those markets where there are no regulatory barriers.
Another area of focus is improved workflows and integration between RayStation and RayCare. This is especially important for clinics that use complex treatment procedures and adaptive treatment techniques, which places high demands on efficient scheduling and optimal resource utilization.
We also see that the integration of scripts and workflows between RayCare and RayStation makes it possible to guide the user through the planning process and combine manual and automatic steps in an efficient way. On the research side, several projects are underway in which we explore the possibilities of applying our tools outside the radiation treatment area, for example in imaging and various types of surgery.
Operatinally, it's encouraging to report no major challenges in relation to our R&D effort or delivery capacity during the pandemic. We have made it through the past 12 months due to a joint effort and I would like to thank all of our employees – especially for the flexibility, creativity and dedication, as we, by necessity, have re-engineered our core functions around largely digital and virtual workflows. Nonetheless, we are very much looking forward to meeting face-to-face again and working together in the same physical location (rather than virtual) with colleagues, customers and our clinical and industrial partners.
With this in mind, preparations are progressing for the relocation later this year, when RaySearch moves into its new corporate headquarters, RayLab, which is designed entirely according to the company's needs. RayLabs is located in the new Life Sciences cluster in Hagastaden in Stockholm. This spectacular facility will enable us to reimagine what it means to be an innovation business by promoting cross-functional collaboration and connection; providing state-of-the-art facilities for customer engagement and training; as well as opening up dedicated space for staff recreation and reflection. With the company now at 400 employees globally, it's also reassuring to know that RayLab has capacity to accommodate up to 800 people – leaving us plenty of room to continue to grow.
While the uncertainties associated with COVID-19 will likely be with us for the foreseeable future – at least until national and regional vaccination programs approach full coverage – we remain optimistic about RaySearch's long-term strategy for comprehensive cancer care. If anything, the need for accelerated digital transformation of the oncology workflow has been amplified by events of the past 12 months. Early in the pandemic, for example, the World Health Organization found that one in three countries in the European region reported partially or completely disrupted cancer services, while some national snapshots indicate that as many as 10% or more of new cancer cases may have gone undiagnosed in the past year.
Put simply, cancer centers and their care teams are going to need all the tools at their disposal if they are to diagnose, treat and manage – at scale – the inevitable post-COVID surge in cancer cases in the most efficient and effective way possible. Mälarsjukhuset in Eskilstuna, Sweden, offers an instructive case study in the art of the possible. In spring of last year, Mälarsjukhuset's medical physics team fast-tracked clinical deployment of RayStation's deep-learning segmentation algorithms – a move that reduced the time spent on patient contouring for radiotherapy planning by as much as 75% versus manual or semi-automatic methods. While the initial decision was driven by staff shortages as a result of COVID, the long-run efficiency gains can only help the Mälarsjukhuset team as it recalibrates for the post-pandemic setting.
Going forward, it falls to RaySearch as a core technology partner to show cancer clinics, large and small, how they can similarly flex their approach through software-driven innovation – a strategy that will ultimately deliver workflow efficiencies while giving more patients access to the best possible cancer care, wherever they are, and whenever they need it.
Stockholm, May 5, 2021
Johan Löf CEO and founder
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.
In the first quarter of 2021, order intake declined 51.6 percent to SEK 145.1 M (300.0). License order intake declined 43.0 percent to SEK 78.0 M (136.8) and order intake for support agreements declined 61.4 percent to SEK 48.6 M (125.6). The change was partly attributable to a strong first quarter in 2020 and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At March 31, 2021, the total order backlog was SEK 1,207.1 M (1,282.0), which is expected to generate revenue of approximately SEK 431 M over the next 12 months. The remaining amount in the order backlog mainly comprises support commitments that are primarily expected to generate revenue during a subsequent four-year period.
In the first quarter of 2021, net sales declined 22.4 percent to SEK 162.1 M (208.9). The change was attributable to lower license sales, which declined 37.7 percent to SEK 82.6 M (132.7), partly due to a strong first quarter in 2020 but also to the COVID-19 pandemic. The change in sales at unchanged currencies was -14.2 percent (16.1).
Recurring support revenue rose 6.6 percent to SEK 61.9 M (58.1), accounting for 38 percent (28) of net sales in the first quarter. Hardware sales, which have a limited profit margin, declined 3.2 percent to SEK 15.4 M (15.9). Excluding hardware sales, sales declined 24.0 percent year-on-year.

-14.2 | -28.5 | -13.7 | -16.0 | 16.1 | -18.4 | -10.3 |
In the first quarter of 2021, net sales had the following geographic distribution: North America, 36 percent (47); Asia, 26 percent (12); Europe and the rest of the world, 38 percent (41).
In the first quarter of 2021, operating profit declined to SEK 12.3 M (51.6), representing an operating margin of 7.6 percent (24.7). The weaker earnings were attributable to lower license revenue, which was only partially offset by lower costs.
In the first quarter, operating expenses declined 4.8 percent to SEK 149.8 M (157.3). The change was mainly attributable to significantly lower selling expenses resulting from canceled trade fairs, business travel and other sales and marketing campaigns due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the first quarter, the net of exchange-rate gains and losses amounted to SEK 10.0 M (22.5) since a large proportion of the Group's receivables are denominated in USD and EUR, which strengthened against the SEK in the first quarter compared with the end of the fourth quarter. Adjusted for these
currency translation effects, operating profit would have totaled SEK 2.3 M (29.1) in the first quarter and operating expenses would have declined 11.1 percent.
The company's 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.
At unchanged exchange rates, the change in sales was -14.2 percent in the first quarter of 2021, compared with the yearearlier period. In addition, the company had exchange-rate gains of SEK 10.0 M (22.4) for balance sheet items in the first quarter. Currency effects therefore had a negative impact on net sales and operating profit in the first quarter of 2021.
A sensitivity analysis of the company's currency exposure shows that a 1-percentage point change in the USD exchange rate against the SEK would have impacted consolidated operating profit by approximately +/- SEK 3.8 M in the first quarter of 2021, while a corresponding change in the EUR exchange rate would have impacted consolidated operating profit by approximately +/- SEK 3.2 M.
The company follows the financial policy established by the Board, whereby exchange-rate fluctuations are not hedged.
RaySearch is a research and development-oriented company that makes significant investments in the development of software solutions for improved cancer treatment. At March 31, 2021, some 210 employees (190) were engaged in research and development, corresponding to 51 percent (49) of the total number of employees.
| Capitalization of development costs | Q1-21 | Q4-20 | Q3-20 | Q2-20 | Q1-20 | Rolling 12 months |
Full-year 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Research and development costs | 64.9 | 65.2 | 51.5 | 62.1 | 64.6 | 243.6 | 243.4 |
| Capitalization of development costs | -51.5 | -53.1 | -40.7 | -49.4 | -52.4 | -194.6 | -195.6 |

| Research and development costs | 52.6 | 48.9 | 47.1 | 44.9 | 44.2 | 193.5 | 185.0 |
In 2021, RaySearch continued to invest in both existing products and future products. In total, research and development costs rose 0.4 percent to SEK 64.9 M (64.6) in 2021, corresponding to 40 percent (31) of the company's net sales. The small changes in expenses, despite an increase in number of employees in the research, development and machine learning departments, were attributable to lower costs for travel and conferences during the pandemic.
Development costs of SEK 51.5 M (52.4) were capitalized, down 1.8 percent, representing 79 percent (81) of total research and development costs.
Amortization of capitalized development costs rose 22.7 percent to SEK 39.2 M (32.0), and the increase was attributable to the expansion of development activities, and that amortization periods had commenced for all products, including RayCommand and RayIntelligence.
Research and development costs (after adjustments for capitalization and amortization of development costs) rose 19.2 percent to SEK 52.6 M (44.2).
In the first quarter of 2021, total amortization and depreciation rose 16.6 percent to SEK 58.3 M (50.1), of which amortization of intangible fixed assets accounted for SEK 39.3 M (32.0), mainly related to capitalized development costs. Depreciation of tangible fixed assets increased to SEK 19.1 M (18.1).
In the first quarter of 2021, profit after tax was SEK 7.1 M (40.5), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 0.21 (1.18) before and after dilution.
Tax expense for the quarter was SEK -4.3 M (-10.8), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 37.5 percent (20.9). The high tax rate was due to a deferred tax liability in the US related to depreciation of tangible fixed assets.
In the first quarter of 2021, cash flow from operating activities was SEK 104.3 M (66.1) and the change, despite weaker earnings, was largely due to a sharp decline in working capital. Working capital mainly comprises various types of customer receivables, such as accounts receivable and current and long-term unbilled customer receivables in instances where payment plans exist.
At the end of the period, the company's total customer receivables amounted to 56 percent (56) of net sales over the past 12 months. Working capital amounted to 5 percent (27) of net sales over the past 12 months. The decline was attributable to increased payments from customers, including advance payments from customers.
In the first quarter, cash flow from investing activities was SEK -60.3 M (-60.2). Investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -51.5 M (-52.6) and comprised capitalized development costs for the company's products – RayStation, RayCare, RayCommand and RayIntelligence. Investments in tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -8.8 M (-7.6).
In the first quarter of 2021, cash flow from financing activities, which was mainly attributable to repayment of lease liabilities, was SEK -11.2 M (-10.1).
Cash flow for the period was SEK 32.8 M (-4.2) during the quarter. At March 31, 2021, consolidated cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 205.2 M (112.7).
At March 31, 2021, RaySearch's total assets amounted to SEK 1,334 M (1,339) and the equity/assets ratio was 52.7 percent (55.8).
Current receivables amounted to SEK 414.3 M (507.8). The receivables mainly comprised various types of customer receivables and the decline was attributable to higher payments from customers as well as fewer outstanding accounts receivable as a result of lower license sales, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Current receivables amounted to SEK 414.3 M (507.8). The receivables mainly comprised various types of customer receivables and the decline was attributable to higher payments from customers as well as fewer outstanding accounts receivable as a result of lower license sales, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
At March 31, 2021, RaySearch's credit facilities comprised a revolving loan facility of up to SEK 300 M and an overdraft facility of SEK 50 M, both maturing in May 2022. Chattel mortgages amounted to SEK 100 M. At March 31, 2021, short-term loans totaling SEK 50 M (50) had been raised under the company's revolving loan facility and SEK 0 M (0) of the credit facility had been drawn. In March 2021, RaySearch breached an EBITDA-based covenant in the company's credit facilities. As a consequence thereof, the bank has requested pre-payment of the outstanding debt of SEK 50 M. The credit facilities will be available for utilization request by the company as soon as the comapy satisfies all the financial covenants according to the agreement.
At March 31, 2021, the Group's net debt totaled SEK -66.0 M (73.2). The change was due to improved cash flow.
In the first quarter of 2021, the average number of employees in the Group was 412. At the end of the first quarter, the Group had 413 (386) employees, of whom 310 (285) were based in Sweden, and 102 (101) in foreign subsidiaries.
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 relevant for 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 RayStation® treatment planning system was sold to more leading cancer centers, including Legacy Cancer Institute in the US, the University Hospital in Krakow, Poland, Osaka City University Hospital and Kumamoto University Hospital in Japan. In addition, Inova Schar Cancer Institute in the US and Radiumhospitalet at Oslo University Hospital in Norway expanded their existing RayStation installations.
In March, the Parent Company issued a short-term loan of SEK 200,000 to Vinstandelsstiftelsen RayFoundation on commercial terms.
RaySearch has established a wholly owned subsidiary in Australia for sales and support to customers in Australasia.
In March, RaySearch breached an EBITDA-based covenant in the company's credit facility with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (publ) (SEB) with a credit limit of SEK 350 M, of which SEK 50 M was utilized. In April, SEB subsequently demanded repayment of the utlizedSEK 50 M. However, the credit facility will be available for drawing as soon as the company once again meets all covenants contained in the agreement.
A sales agent agreement has been signed with Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc., enabling RaySearch's salesforce in North America to promote Canon Medical's Aquilion Lare Bore CT and Celesteion PET/CT products.
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting people and companies all over the world and posing a challenge for all businesses. RaySearch is monitoring the situation and the effects of the pandemic closely and is prepared to take action and align the company's operations if needed.
Sales. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic also had a negative effect on RaySearch's sales in the first quarter due to continued restrictions and coronavirus outbreaks in several countries throughout some of the quarter. In addition, many hospitals were forced to temporarily re-prioritize and freeze investments in order to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. Market conditions were challenging in North America and some European countries, while the company noted a normalization in Asia.
Delivery capacity. As a software company, RaySearch is well equipped for remote collaboration and both our R&D and delivery capacity have remained relatively unscathed by the COVID-19 pandemic to date.
In the first quarter, COVID-19 did not have any major impact on the company's assessment items.
It is still difficult to say how the ongoing pandemic will affect the coming quarters with any great certainty. The situation has stabilized and is beginning to normalize in many countries, but many countries have also registered an increase in new cases. We see continued recovery in Asia and signs of demand recovery in other regions.
In addition, as soon as the vaccination program has an effect we expect sales to normalize again since underlying need and demand for effective software solutions for cancer care remain unchanged compared with pre-pandemic levels. Since sales activities have been restricted for some time, it may take time before full sales effect is regained. We see no major challenges in terms of R&D or the company's delivery capacity.
Overall, the company expects that the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company's sales and earnings will continue for some months to come, but that these effects will normalize in 2021. However, due to uncertainty surrounding how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last and the extent of the economic impacts, RaySearch will continue to focus on protecting the company's cash flow and liquidity.
Unmet need for RaySearch's software solutions unchanged.The underlying need for efficient software solutions for cancer care remains unchanged since treatment for cancer patients is high priority. The company's assessment is that the market and demand for the company's products will normalize and return to previous levels when the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided.
Continued focus on efficiencies and digitization. One effect of the COVID-19 pandemic could be a further acceleration of the ongoing digital transformation. The pandemic has radically revealed the major potential and benefits of digital technology, which could be positive for RaySearch's operations in the long term because the company's software solutions make it possible for cancer centers to increase their efficiency.

Since the company is in the midst of an expansive and capital-intensive phase, the Board of RaySearch proposes that no dividend be paid for the 2020 fiscal year.
Full details of the proposed resolutions are available on the company's website, www.raysearchlabs.com
As a global Group with operations in different parts of the world, RaySearch is exposed to various risks and uncertainties, such as market risk, operational and legal risk, as well as financial risk pertaining to exchange-rate fluctuations, interest rates, liquidity and financing opportunities. RaySearch's risk management aims to identify, measure and reduce risks related to the Group's transactions and operations. For more information about risks and risk management, refer to pages 9-11 and 39-40 of RaySearch's 2020 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes with any impact on the risks reported. This also applies to the risks and uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic that could affect RaySearch's sales, earnings and financial position.
RaySearch's customers are healthcare providers and the company's operations are somewhat characterized by seasonal variations that are typical for the industry, whereby the fourth quarter is normally the strongest – mainly because many customers have budgets that follow the calendar year.
Sustainability is a key aspect of RaySearch's strategy and operations, and the company is working actively to become a sustainable enterprise. The primary aim of RaySearch's operations is to help cancer centers improve and save the lives of cancer patients. With our innovative software solutions, we are continuously striving to improve and streamline workflows in clinical environments and to improve treatment outcomes for cancer patients. The customer value we create presents business opportunities for RaySearch, but also major social benefit and economic gains.
The negative environmental impact of the company's products is limited. The company's environmental impact is mainly related to the purchase of goods and services, energy use and transportation. RaySearch aims to contribute to sustainable development and therefore works actively to improve the company's environmental performance wherever this is economically viable. More information about the company's environmental and sustainability initiatives is available in the company's Sustainability Report on pages 62-68 of RaySearch's 2020 Annual Report.

The RaySearch Group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those described in the 2020 Annual Report for RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ), which is available at www.raysearchlabs.com This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
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 was also not affected by IFRS 16, and will continue to recognize lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 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.
RaySearch conducts sales of goods and services in various regions. Revenue from sales of licenses and hardware is recognized in profit or loss at a point in time, while revenue from sales of training and support is recognized over time.

Preparation of the interim report requires that company management 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.
RaySearch's financial assets and liabilities comprise billed and unbilled receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accrued expenses, accounts payable, bank loans and lease liabilities. Long-term receivables and lease liabilities are discounted, while other financial assets and liabilities have short maturities. Accordingly, the fair values 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 the end of March 2021, the credit loss provision amounted to SEK 26.7 M (32.9), representing 8 percent (7) of total customer receivables. The lower provision for credit losses was due to a decrease in total receivables, while the higher proportion of total receivables was largely attributable to one customer in the US. While the Group's credit losses have been limited historically, confirmed credit losses have risen over the past five years to about 1.1 percent of the company's average customer receivables.
There were no transactions between RaySearch and related parties with any material impact on the company's position and earnings during the period.

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.
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 types of radiation therapy machines, close collaboration with world-leading cancer centers and industrial partners, and extensive investment in research and development.
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.
