CEO COMMENTS

EXTRAORDINARY MARKET CONDITIONS

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a temporary reprioritization of healthcare agendas all over the world, which led to a decrease in demand for RaySearch's products in the second quarter of 2020. Market conditions were particularly challenging in North America, while we noted a recovery with a large number of new customers in Asia.

In the second quarter, net sales amounted to SEK 164 M (190), representing a 14-percent decline year-on-year. Cost-cutting measures were taken, but due to the lower sales, operating profit declined to SEK -11 M (29), representing an operating margin of -7 percent (15). Operating profit was significantly adversely affected by currency conversion effects and, adjusted for these, operating profit would have totaled SEK 16 M (25). Despite challenging market

conditions, the cash flow was strong and amounted to SEK 66 M (4) in the second quarter.

MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting people and companies all over the world and posing a challenge for all businesses. RaySearch's highest priority is to protect the health and safety of our employees, while also maintaining and developing our

business operations. RaySearch has implemented the COVID-19 related security measures recommended by authorities in all parts of its operations. This includes running the company's operations to a large extent remotely, by working from home and holding virtual meetings. 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.

The extraordinary measures taken by governments and authorities to prevent the spread of the virus have made it difficult to drive sales and marketing campaigns. Instead, RaySearch has mainly conducted training and marketing via digital channels. As a result, in the wake of the pandemic, we have developed a new methodology for reaching out to customers that will also prove useful moving forward.

During the quarter, we continued to take measures to mitigate the negative effects of COVID-19 and to align the operations with the new market situation. We will continue to implement our contingency plans to ensure business continuity, maintain cash flow and reduce costs. So far RaySearch has not furloughed or laid off any employees due to the COVID-19 pandemic to date, but as part of cost-cutting measures, we have postponed some planned new recruitments.

OUTLOOK

The future effects of the ongoing pandemic are difficult to assess at present. Several countries have begun to reopen, but it is still difficult to say how the pandemic will play out with any great certainty. RaySearch has taken a number of measures to protect the company's operations and slow the spread of the virus. However, the company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have a significantly adverse effect on the company's sales and earnings for several months to come. We see no major challenges in terms of R&D or the company's delivery capacity. However, due to uncertainty surrounding how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last and the extent of the economic impacts, RaySearch has decided to focus specifically on protecting the company's cash flow and liquidity. 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.

Unchanged great need for RaySearch's software solutions

Despite the short-term challenges, we remain optimistic about the future. The underlying need for efficient software solutions for cancer care remains unchanged and treatment for cancer patients is high priority. We therefore believe that the market will normalize and return to previous levels when the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided.

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. This has been illustrated by cancer centers such as Mälarsjukhuset in Eskilstuna, Sweden and Leeds Cancer Center in the UK, which quickly achieved dramatic time savings in the second quarter by using our machine learning algorithms for tumor contouring. Our products have thereby helped to alleviate the effects of the current resource shortage, which has also been worsened by COVID-19.

OUR LONG-TERM STRATEGY REMAINS FIRM

RaySearch's high pace of innovation will continue in order to secure our future position in our market segment and to maintain strong growth as soon as the effects of COVID-19 have subsided and the world has returned to a more normal state. RayStation and RayCare are already the market's leading systems for simplifying and streamlining the highly complex workflows of cancer centers, and we are determined to increase that lead in 2020.

In June, a new version of RayStation was released, with major performance enhancements for proton therapy, new support for ocular proton therapy planning, and improved ability to generate treatment plans using machine learning. In June, we also released a new version of RayCare, with new features for dynamic team management, scripting support and an improved patient chart. More and more cancer centers are now introducing RayCare for clinical use and in May, we achieved a key milestone by signing an interoperability agreement with Varian to connect RayCare with Varian's TrueBeam linear accelerator. Interoperability with Varian's TrueBeam will significantly increase the market potential of RayCare, while improving the workflow of our existing customers.

The development of our RayCommand* treatment control system is progressing according to plan, with a first commercial launch planned for December 2020. For end-users, the RayCommand system offers uniform management and control of important systems in the treatment room, such as the treatment machine, the treatment couch, imaging systems and patient positioning devices.

In the preceding year, we laid the foundation for a broad diversification of our product range. That is leading to, for example, the launch of RayIntelligence* – a range of data-based products – in December this year, that will offer cancer centers the stable data infrastructure they need to accelerate the introduction of machine learning throughout the entire radiation therapy workflow. RayIntelligence will be integrated with RayStation and RayCare to further optimize and personalize treatment for patients. This will be based on previous clinical experience and collaboration with leading cancer centers.

Our teams are also developing tools to support surgeons when planning surgical procedures to remove tumors, and to support processes in the operating theater. In the long-term, our goal is that RayStation and RayCare will form a single system for planning, optimizing and managing combined cancer care within a range of treatment modalities: medical oncology, surgical oncology and radiation oncology.

Overall, we see both challenges and opportunities – even though we are currently living in a turbulent time marked by an ongoing pandemic.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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.

ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BACKLOG

In the second quarter of 2020, order intake declined 52.2 percent to SEK 177.1 M (370.6). License order intake declined 57.8 percent to SEK 83.2 M (197.0) and order intake for support agreements declined 47.9 percent to SEK 77.0 M (147.7). The decrease was partly attributable to lower sales, particularly in North America, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but also to a high order intake in the second quarter of the preceding year.

In the first half of 2020, order intake declined 16.6 percent to SEK 477.2 M (572.2).

At June 30, 2020, the total order backlog amounted to SEK 1,185.8 M (1,043.1), which is expected to generate revenue of approximately SEK 391 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.

REVENUE

In the second quarter of 2020, net sales declined 13.7 percent to SEK 163.8 M (189.7). The change was mainly attributable to lower license sales, primarily in North America, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The organic change in sales at unchanged currencies amounted to -16.0 percent (27.7).

License revenue declined 30.0 percent to SEK 86.5 M (123.7), mainly the result of lower license sales for RayStation in North America due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Recurring support revenue rose 28.3 percent to SEK 61.7 M (48.1), accounting for 38 percent (25) of net sales in the second quarter. Hardware sales, which have a limited profit margin, declined 9 percent to SEK 12.0 M (13.2). Excluding hardware sales, sales declined 14.1 percent.

In the first half of 2020, net sales rose 2.7 percent to SEK 372.6 M (362.7). This change was mainly attributable to higher license and support revenue for RayStation, as well as positive currency effects. The organic change in sales amounted to SEK 0.0 percent (35.4).

In the first half-year, net sales had the following geographic distribution: North America, 43 percent (42); Asia, 20 percent (11); Europe and the rest of the world, 37 percent (46).

License revenue for RayStation and RayCare remained unchanged at SEK 207.7 M (207.7). Recurring support revenue rose 33.3 percent to SEK 119.8 M (89.9), accounting for 32 percent (25) of net sales in the first half-year. Hardware sales, which have a limited profit margin, declined 33.3 percent to SEK 28.0 M (43.2) in the first half-year. Excluding hardware sales, sales rose 7.8 percent.

OPERATING PROFIT

In the second quarter of 2020, operating profit declined to SEK -10.9 M (28.8), representing an operating margin of -6.7 percent (15.2). The weaker earnings were attributable to lower license sales and negative currency translation effects due to a stronger SEK against the USD and EUR in the second quarter.

In the second quarter, operating expenses rose 8.6 percent to SEK 174.7 M (160.8), due to negative currency conversion effects that were recognized as other operating income and expenses. In the second quarter, the net of these exchange-rate gains and losses amounted to SEK -27.4 M (3.9) due to a large proportion of the Group's receivables are denominated in USD and EUR, which weakened against the SEK in the

second quarter compared with the end of the first quarter. Adjusted for these currency conversion effects, operating profit would have totaled SEK 16.5 M (25.0) in the second quarter and operating expenses would have declined 10.6 percent. This decline 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 half-year, operating profit decreased to SEK 40.6 M (52.0), corresponding to an operating margin of 10.9 percent (14.3).

Currency effects

The company is 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, organic sales growth was a negative 16.0 percent in the second quarter of 2020, compared with the year-on-year period. In addition, the company incurred significant exchange-rate losses of SEK -27.4 M (3.9) for balance sheet items in the second quarter. Currency effects therefore had a positive effect on net sales, but a negative effect on operating expenses and operating profit in the second quarter of 2020.

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 2.8 M in the second quarter

of 2020, while a corresponding change in the EUR exchange rate would have impacted consolidated operating profit by approximately +/- SEK 1.6 M.

The company follows the financial policy established by the Board, whereby exchange-rate fluctuations are not hedged.

Capitalization of development costs

RaySearch is a research and development-oriented company that makes significant investments in the development of various software solutions for improved cancer treatment. At June 30, 2020, 200 employees (160) were engaged in R&D, corresponding to 51 percent (50) of the total number of employees.

Rolling Full-year
Capitalization of development costs Q2-20 Q1-20 Q4-19 Q3-19 Q2-19 12 months 2019
Research and development costs 62.1 64.6 66.8 52.2 56.2 245.7 225.5

Research and development costs 44.9 44.2 46.8 45.6 43.4 181.4 174.7

In 2020, RaySearch continued to invest heavily in both existing and future products. Overall, research and development costs rose 18.9 percent to SEK 126.7 M (106.5) in the first half-year, corresponding to 34 percent (29) of the company's net sales. The increase was attributable to a higher number of employees in the research, development and machine learning departments.

Development costs of SEK 101.8 M (78.2) were capitalized, up 30.2 percent, representing 80 percent (73) of total research and development costs. The increase was due to the fact that the research, development and machine learning departments increased their proportion of development activities during the quarter.

Amortization of capitalized development costs rose 18.7 percent to SEK 64.2 M (54.0), with the increase due to the expansion of development activities for RayStation and RayCare.

Research and development costs (after adjustments for capitalization and amortization of development costs) rose 8.3 percent to SEK 89.1 M (82.3).

Amortization and depreciation

In the second quarter of 2020, total amortization and depreciation increased 17.5 percent to SEK 51.8 M (44.1), of which amortization of intangible fixed assets accounted for SEK 32.2 M (27.2), mainly related to capitalized development costs. Depreciation of tangible fixed assets increased to SEK 19.6 M (16.9).

Total amortization and depreciation in the first half-year amounted to SEK 102.0 M (87.0), of which amortization of intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 64.2 M (54.1), mainly related to capitalized development costs. Depreciation of tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 37.7 M (32.9).

PROFIT AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

In the second quarter of 2020, loss after tax totaled SEK -9.2 M (21.8), representing loss per share of SEK -0.27 (earnings: 0.64) before and after dilution.

In the first half of 2020, profit after tax totaled SEK 31.3 M (39.0), representing earnings per share of SEK 0.91 (1.14) before and after dilution.

Tax expense for the first six months of the year amounted to SEK -7.0 M (-10.2), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 18.2 percent (20.7).

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY

In the second quarter of 2020, cash flow from operating activities was SEK 135.4 M (136.9). The strong cash flow, despite the weaker earnings, was largely due to a sharp decline in working capital and a sharp increase in amortization of capitalized development costs, which are not included in cash flow.

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.

In the first half-year, cash flow from operating activities was SEK 201.5 M (187.2).

At the end of the period, the company's total customer receivables accounted for 45 percent (52) of net sales over the past 12 months, and working capital for 16 percent (22) of net sales during the same period. The decline was mainly due to higher payments from customers.

Our payment model

A typical transaction for RaySearch involves various performance obligations, such as the delivery of licenses, hardware, support and training.

When RaySearch has fulfilled its performance obligation to a customer, for example, delivered licenses, and an unconditional right to consideration exists, a revenue and corresponding receivable are recognized.

A number of payment alternatives are subsequently available:

  • Payment within an invoice period of 30 or 60 days from delivery.
  • Payment over a certain period, normally 6 to 12 months from delivery.

In the vast majority of cases, payment is received for hardware and support within 30 to 60 days. However, RaySearch has a high proportion of new customers and it is common that new customers require up to 12 months to acquire and install separate IT infrastructure to gain maximum performance from our software. Accordingly, many new customers opt for a payment plan for our licenses, resulting in a subsequent delay in RaySearch invoicing the customer and receiving payment.

Irrespective of the payment model, a revenue and its corresponding receivable are recognized when the company has fulfilled its performance obligation. RaySearch has three types of customer receivables: Accounts receivable (current billed customer receivables) and, in the event of a payment plan, Current and Long-term unbilled customer receivables.

The business model is tried, tested and effective. RaySearch assesses that the credit risk is generally low since the customers are institutions with high credit ratings. RaySearch's total credit losses (confirmed and probable) only amount to 0.5 percent of total sales since the start in 2000.

In the second quarter, cash flow from investing activities was SEK -55.9 M (-57.1). Investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -49.4 M (-40.1) and comprised capitalized development costs for the company's products – RayStation, RayCare, RayCommand and RayIntelligence. Investments in tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -6.5 M (-17.0).

In the first half-year, cash flow from investing activities was SEK -116.1 M (-102.5). Investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -102.1 M (-78.2) and comprised capitalized development costs. Investments in tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -14.0 M (-24.3).

Cash flow before financing activities was SEK 79.5 M (79.9) in the second quarter of 2020, and SEK 85.4 M (84.8) in the first half of 2020.

Cash flow from financing activities, which was mainly attributable to repayment of lease liabilities, amounted to SEK -13.6 M (-75.7) in the second quarter of 2020 and SEK -23.7 M (-82.4) in the half-year period. The change was due to a repayment of SEK 75 M on the company's revolving loan facility in the second quarter of 2019.

Cash flow for the period was SEK 65.9 M (4.1) in the second quarter, and SEK 61.7 M (2.3) in the first half of 2020. At June 30, 2020, consolidated cash and cash equivalents was SEK 173.7 M (118.1).

FINANCIAL POSITION

At June 30, 2020, RaySearch's total assets amounted to SEK 1,309.5 M (1,242.2) and the equity/assets ratio was 56.2 percent (55.9).

Current receivables amounted to SEK 420 M (449). 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 in the second quarter due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

RaySearch's credit facilities comprise 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 June 30, 2020, short-term loans of SEK 49 M (49) had been approved under the company's revolving loan facility and SEK 0 M (0) of the credit facility had been drawn.

At June 30, 2020, the Group's net debt totaled SEK 0.2 M (92.0).

EMPLOYEES

In the January-June period of 2020, the average number of employees in the Group was 391 (306). At the end of the second quarter, the Group had 396 employees (319), of whom 298 (236) were based in Sweden, and 98 (83) in foreign subsidiaries.

PARENT COMPANY

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 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 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.

Effects on RaySearch's operations in the second quarter of 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on RaySearch's operations, mainly due to delayed orders because some hospitals are being forced to temporarily prioritize COVID-19 patients over cancer care and investments in RaySearch's products.

Sales. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic had a significantly adverse effect on RaySearch's sales in the second quarter due to lockdowns in several countries throughout most of the quarter. In addition, many hospitals were forced to temporarily reprioritize and freeze investments in order to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. Market conditions were particularly challenging in North America and some European countries, while the company noted a recovery 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.

Expected future effects

The future effects of the ongoing pandemic are difficult to assess at present. Several countries have begun to reopen, but it is still difficult to say how the pandemic will play out with any great certainty. RaySearch has taken a number of measures to protect the company's operations and slow the spread of the virus. However, the company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have a significantly adverse effect on the company's sales and earnings for several months to come. We see no major challenges in terms of R&D or the company's delivery capacity. However, due to uncertainty surrounding how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last and the extent of the economic impacts, RaySearch has decided to focus specifically on protecting the company's cash flow and liquidity.

Unchanged great need for RaySearch's software solutions.The underlying need for efficient software solutions for cancer care remains unchanged since treatment for cancer patients is high priority. The company believes that the market 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.

Measures to protect employees and slow the spread of the virus

RaySearch's highest priority is to protect the health and safety of our employees, while also maintaining and developing our business operations. The COVID-19 outbreak is posing a huge challenge to human health and lives all over the world. RaySearch has implemented the COVID-19-related security measures recommended by authorities in all parts of its operations. This includes running the company's operations to a large extent remotely, by working from home and holding virtual meetings.

OTHER INFORMATION

2020 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ) was held on Tuesday, June 30, 2020. The AGM reelected Board members Carl Filip Bergendal, Johan Löf, Britta Wallgren, Hans Wigzell, Lars Wollung and Johanna Öberg, and Lars Wollung was re-elected as Chairman of the Board. The AGM resolved that no dividend would be paid for the 2019 fiscal year.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

As a global group with operations in different parts of the world, RaySearch is exposed to various risks and uncertainties, such as market risk, business risk, compliance risk, operational risk and financial risk. RaySearch's risk management aims to identify, measure and reduce risks related to the Group's transactions and operations. No significant changes have been made to the risk assessment compared with the 2019 Annual Report. For more information about risks and risk management, refer to pages 9-10 and 40-42 of RaySearch's 2019 Annual Report.

SEASONAL VARIATIONS

RaySearch'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.

ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

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 reasonable. For more information about the company's environmental and sustainability initiatives, refer to pages 64-69 of RaySearch's 2019 Annual Report.

NOTES, GROUP

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 2019 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.

NOTE 2 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH 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.

NOTE 3 ESTIMATES

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.

NOTE 4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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 June 2020, the credit loss provision was SEK 29.3 M (19.9). The increase was largely due to COVID-19. Historically, the Group's credit losses have been limited. Since the company was founded in 2000, incurred credit losses have amounted to approximately 0.01 percent and provisions for expected credit losses to approximately 0.7 percent of total sales.

VISION AND BUSINESS CONCEPT

The company's vision is a world where cancer is conquered and RaySearch's business concept is to provide innovative software to continuously improve cancer treatment.

STRATEGY

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 strategy rests on a strong focus on software development, leading functionality, broad support for many different types of treatment techniques and radiation therapy devices, as well as extensive investments in research and development.

BUSINESS MODEL

RaySearch's revenues are generated when customers pay an initial license fee for the right to use RaySearch's software and an annual 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.
