CEO COMMENTS

WEAKER LICENSE SALES IN SECOND HALF-YEAR

After a record first half of the year, license sales were weaker in both the third and fourth quarters, and the total order intake declined by 6 percent to SEK 277 M (295) in the fourth quarter. Nonetheless, net sales increased 7 percent to SEK 234 M (219), while operating profit decreased to SEK 22 M (42). Operating profit was impacted by factors including negative currency translation effects and, adjusted for these, operating profit would have amounted to SEK 37 M (38).

A LONGER PERSPECTIVE

We operate in a market with uneven order flows where large individual orders can have a substantial impact on revenues between quarters. Our operations should therefore be seen in a longer perspective. In 2019, order intake increased 30 percent to SEK 1,046 M (805) and net sales rose 18 percent to SEK 742 M (627). If we go two years back, our order intake has increased by 60 percent (see graph).

Operating profit for the full year decreased to SEK 68 M (94), which corresponds to an operating margin of 9 (15) percent. The lower margin is partly due to our large investments in development and marketing organizations. This leads to squeezed margins in the short term, but it is a conscious investment that is expected to deliver better growth and profitability in the longer term. Cash flow adjusted for amortization of bank loans increased to SEK 72 (-48) million. All in all, the longer perspective shows that our expansive strategy is working and that RaySearch's innovative software solutions for improved cancer treatment are continuously gaining new ground.

CONTINUED SUCCESS WITH WORLD-LEADING CLINICS

In 2019, RaySearch continued to reap great success among several of the world's leading cancer clinics. For example, 11 of the 20 highest-ranked cancer clinics in the United States have purchased RayStation. Several of our largest clients, including Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, MD Anderson, Moffitt Cancer Center, University of Washington Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital, have also decided to gradually replace their existing dose planning systems and only use RayStation.

During the fourth quarter, we also received a significant order for RayStation and RayCare from a carbon ion clinic under construction at the Yonsei Cancer Center in South Korea and a large order for RayStation from the Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center (SPHIC) in China.

This clearly shows that RayStation is the technologically most advanced and effective treatment planning system in the global marketplace and confirms our market leading position among the largest and most prominent clinics. It also creates an increased opportunity for RaySearch to sell its other products to existing and new customers.

CHALLENGE TO RETURN THE SMALL CLINIC

Our market share is still relatively small among the small clinics in the US, ie clinics that have one or two treatment machines. These usually have both software systems and processing machines from a single supplier and make up about 80 percent of the total number of clinics. They have different conditions and needs than the largest clinics. We therefore see it as a particularly important task for us to intensify the work of reaching out to small clinics in 2020, in order to demonstrate in concrete terms what great benefits RayStation offers to all clinics, regardless of size.

DEVELOPMENT WILL CONTINUE AT A FAST PACE

Our development work is continuing unabated. RayStation and RayCare are already the leading systems on the market for simplifying and streamlining the highly complex workflows of cancer centers, and we are determined to advance our leading position in 2020.

More and more clinics are implementing RayCare in clinical use. We achieved an important milestone for our strategic collaboration with IBA when we completed all validation tests for RayCare and the connection to IBA's proton processing system on February 6, 2020. The tests were performed at the UZ Leuven hospital in Belgium and they are a crucial step for UZ Leuven to start treating patients with proton therapy.

The development work for our treatment control system RayCommand and our machine learning system RayIntelligence is proceeding according to plan, and we expect to be able to launch both products in December this year.

All in all, we have both challenges and opportunities - I look forward to an intense and exciting year 2020.

Stockholm, February 14, 2020

Johan Löf CEO of RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ)

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 fourth quarter of 2019, order intake declined by 6.0 percent year-on-year to SEK 277.2 M (294.9). License order intake remained weak in the fourth quarter following a very strong first half of the year. This was only partially offset by a rise in order intake for support agreements.

Full-year Full-year

Total order backlog at the end of the period 1,160.0 1,124.7 1,043.1 876.9 828.0

For full-year 2019, order intake rose 29.9 percent to SEK 1,046.2 M (805.2). License order intake rose 1.6 percent to SEK 516.2 M (508.0) and order intake for support agreements rose 95.8 percent to SEK 417.5 M (213.2).

At December 31, 2019, the total order backlog amounted to SEK 1,160 M (828), which is expected to generate revenue of approximately SEK 374 M over the next 12 months. The remaining amount in the order backlog mainly comprises support commitments that are primarily expected to generate revenues during a subsequent four-year period.

The reported order intake and order backlog do not include the order totaling SEK 127 M from MedAustron International GmbH, secured in the second quarter of 2019, and relating to a cancer center in Iran. RaySearch is working on the order, but due to the prevailing sanctions related to projects involving this specific country, it is currently difficult to predict when payment can be obtained.

REVENUE

In the fourth quarter of 2019, net sales rose 6.9 percent to SEK 234.5 M (219.4). This change is mainly attributable to higher support revenue and hardware revenue, as well as positive currency effects. The organic change in sales amounted to SEK 1.4 percent (4.3).

License revenue for RayStation and RayCare declined by 8.0 percent, mainly due to lower license sales in the US. Recurring support revenue rose sharply as a result of a larger installed customer base and positive currency effects. The application of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from January 1, 2018 temporarily reduced the company's revenue recognition in 2018 and accounts for almost a third of the increase in support revenue from RayStation during the fourth quarter compared with the year-earlier period.

Organic sales growth, corresp. period, % 1.4% -8.9% 27.7% 41.9% 4.3% 11.8% 5.8%

For full-year 2019, net sales rose 18.2 percent to SEK 741.6 M (627.2). The improvement was mainly due to higher support revenue for RayStation, increased hardware sales and positive currency effects.

Organic sales growth was 11.8 per cent (5.8), and recognized net sales accounted for 71 percent (78) of total order intake.

For the full-year, net sales had the following geographic distribution: North America, 42 percent (42); Asia, 18 percent (20); Europe and the rest of the world, 39 percent (38).

License revenue for RayStation and RayCare rose 2 percent to SEK 419.3 M (411.5). Recurring support revenue rose 72 percent to SEK 198.2 M (115.3), representing 27 percent (18) of net sales. Hardware sales, which have a limited profit margin, rose 43 percent to SEK 76.6 M (53.6). Excluding hardware sales, sales rose 16 percent.

Revenue from sales of software modules via partners declined 15 percent to SEK 42.1 M (49.8), representing 6 percent (8) of net sales for the year.

OPERATING PROFIT/LOSS

In the fourth quarter of 2019, operating profit declined to SEK 22.5 M (41.7), representing an operating margin of 9.6 percent (19.0). The decline in profit was mainly due to lower license sales in the US, increased selling, research and development costs, which are largely an investment in future growth, and increased depreciation.

In the fourth quarter, operating expenses increased 19.3 percent to SEK 212.0 M (177.8). This was largely due to the increase in number of employees, but also higher costs for premises and depreciation.

Due to the application of IFRS 16 Leases on January 1, 2019, the operating result was impacted by a reduction in operating lease charges and an increase in depreciation. In the fourth quarter of 2019, IFRS 16 had a positive impact of SEK 0.6 M on the operating result.

Other operating income and expenses pertain to exchange-rate gains and losses. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the net of these exchange-rate gains and losses amounted to SEK -14.9 (3.6). A large proportion of the Group's receivables are denominated in USD and EUR, which weakened against the SEK in the fourth quarter compared with the end of the third quarter. Adjusted for the effects of these currency translations, operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2019 would have amounted to SEK 37.4 M (38.1) and operating expenses would have risen by 8.7 percent.

For the full-year 2019, operating profit decreased to SEK 68.2 M (94.5), representing an operating margin of 9.2 percent (15.1).

Currency effects

Since the majority (more than 85 percent) of invoicing is made in USD and EUR, while most of the Group's costs are in SEK, the company is affected by the SEK's performance against these currencies, in particular.

At unchanged exchange rates, organic sales growth was 1.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared with the year-earlier period. In addition, the company also had exchange-rate losses of SEK 14.9 M (3.6) for balance sheet items in the fourth quarter. In total, currency effects thus had a slightly negative effect on operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2019.

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 5.2 M in 2019, while a corresponding change in the EUR exchange rate would have impacted consolidated operating profit by approximately +/- SEK 2.2 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 December 31, 2019, some 190 (145) employees were engaged in research and development, corresponding to 51 percent (49) of the total number of employees.

Research and development costs 46.8 45.6 43.4 38.9 40.4 174.7 147.7

In 2019, RaySearch continued to invest substantially in existing and future products. In total, research and development costs rose 11.6 percent to SEK 225.5 M (202.0), corresponding to 30 percent (32) of the company's net sales.

Development costs of SEK 164.4 M (149.9) were capitalized, corresponding to 73 percent (74) of total research and development costs.

Amortization of capitalized development costs rose 18.8 percent to SEK 113.6 M (95.6), and the increase was due to the expansion of development activities for RayStation and RayCare.

After adjustments for capitalization and amortization of development costs, research and development costs rose 18.3 percent to SEK 174.7 M (147.7).

Amortization and depreciation

In the fourth quarter of 2019, total amortization and depreciation increased 54.0 percent to SEK 47.9 M (31.1), of which amortization of intangible fixed assets accounted for SEK 29.7 M (25.5), primarily related to capitalized development costs. Depreciation of tangible fixed assets increased to SEK 18.1 M (5.6), primarily due to the company's investments in new offices in North America, but also the application of IFRS 16, refer to Notes 1-2.

Total amortization and depreciation for the year amounted to SEK 182.5 M (113.8), of which amortization of intangible fixed assets totaled SEK 113.7 M (95.6), primarily related to capitalized development costs. Depreciation of tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 68.8 M (18.2).

PROFIT/LOSS AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

In the fourth quarter of 2019, profit after tax totaled SEK 18.9 M (32.6), representing earnings per share before and after dilution of SEK 0.55 (0.95). Profit after tax for full-year 2019 totaled SEK 50.4 M (78.5), representing earnings per share before and after dilution of SEK 1.47 (2.29).

Tax expense for the year amounted to SEK -12.2 M (-12.2), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 19.5 percent (13.5).

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY

For the fourth quarter of 2019, cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 81.1 M (120.6), and the reduction was mainly attributable to higher operating receivables. At the same time, non-cash items increased, mainly due to leases being recognized as depreciation and interest expenses in accordance with IFRS 16, whereas they were recognized in operating activities in the preceding year.

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.

For the full-year 2019, cash flow from operating activities was SEK 320.1 M (178.5).

At the end of the period, the company's total customer receivables accounted for 55 percent (72) of net sales over the past 12 months, and working capital for 26 percent (45) 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 increase in unbilled customer receivables over the past year was the result of more agreements with payment plans, primarily in North America. RaySearch assesses that the credit risk is low since the customers are institutions with high credit ratings.

The business model is tried, tested and effective. RaySearch's total credit losses (confirmed and probable) only amount

Cash flow from investing activities was SEK -61.0 M (-73.3) in the fourth quarter. Investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -49.7 M (-40.9), comprising capitalized development costs for RayStation, RayCare and RayCommand. Investments in tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -11.4 M (-32.3), mainly comprised investments in IT equipment. to 0.5 percent of total sales since the start in 2000.

For the full-year 2019, cash flow from investing activities was SEK -212.0 M (-223.6). Investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -164.8 M (-150.4), comprising capitalized development costs. Investments in tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -47.2 M (-73.3).

Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -12.4 M (9.4) in the fourth quarter of 2019, mainly due to paid lease payments in accordance with IFRS 16. For the full year, cash flow from financing activities was SEK -111.5 M (47.0), primarily as a result of repayment of SEK 75 M of the company's revolving loan facility, and lease payments paid in accordance with IFRS 16.

Cash flow for the period was SEK 7.8 M (56.8) in the fourth quarter, and SEK -3.4 M (1.8) for the full-year. At December 31, 2019, consolidated cash and cash equivalents was SEK 113.9 M (112.2).

FINANCIAL POSITION

At December 31, 2019, RaySearch's total assets amounted to SEK 1,264 M (1,105) and the equity/assets ratio was 55.8 percent (59.5).

IFRS 16 Leases has been applied since January 1, 2019, which increases the company's total assets. Without application of the new accounting policies, the equity/assets ratio would have been 61.6 percent.

Current receivables amounted to SEK 463.3 M (482.3). The receivables mainly comprised various types of customer receivables, and the decrease, despite high sales growth, was primarily due to a rise in payments from customers.

In the third quarter of 2019, the company signed a ten-year rental lease for a new head office in Stockholm with commencement in the third quarter of 2021.

In 2017, the company's line of credit was increased from SEK 100 M to SEK 350 M. The credit line expires in May 2022 and comprises a revolving loan facility of up to SEK 300 M, and an overdraft facility of SEK 50 M. Chattel mortgages amounted to SEK 100 M. At December 31, 2019, a short-term loan of SEK 49 M (124) was raised under the company's revolving loan facility and SEK 0 M (0) of the credit facility had been drawn.

At December 31, 2019, the Group's net debt totaled SEK 56.9 M (19.3). IFRS 16 Leases has been applied since January 1, 2019, which increases the company's net debt, mainly because the remaining lease commitments are recognized as liabilities on the balance sheet. Without application of the new accounting policies, net debt would have amounted to SEK -64.3 M, refer to Note 2.

EMPLOYEES

In 2019, the average number of employees in the Group was 331 (293). At the end of the fourth quarter, the Group had 376 (293) employees, of whom 279 (218) were based in Sweden, and 97 (75) 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 charges on a straight-line basis over the period of contract. 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.

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 2018 Annual Report. For more information about risks and risk management, refer to pages 9-10 and 36-38 of RaySearch's 2018 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.

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 2018 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. The Parent Company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

New or revised accounting standards applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

IFRS 16 Leases has been applied since January 1, 2019. The application of IFRS 16 entails that identified leases, primarily rental leases, will be recognized on the balance sheet. This impacts numerous financial performance measures and key figures, such as EBITDA, operating profit, net financial items, shareholders' equity, return on equity and net debt. RaySearch applied the standard's modified retrospective method, which means that no comparative figures were restated. The lease liability was measured at the present value of the lease payments, and the right-of-use asset for all contracts equaled the calculated depreciated value from the lease commencement, with the application of the incremental borrowing rate at the date of transfer. RaySearch has also elected to apply the exemption rules for short-term leases and leases where the underlying asset is of low value. In addition, RaySearch has elected not to reassess if a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application. Nor does RaySearch exclude non-lease components in any contracts.

For leases previously classified as finance leases under IAS 17, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and lease liability was measured at January 1, 2019 at the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability under IAS 17 immediately prior to that date.

When transitioning to IFRS 16, the Group recognized right-of-use assets at SEK 165 M and new lease liabilities at SEK 167 M, of which current lease liabilities account for SEK 31 M. The difference between assets and liabilities depends on prepaid lease payments recognized as assets on December 31, 2018, which were added to right-of-use assets at January 1, 2019. There was also an impact of SEK 2 M on shareholders' equity due to measuring the right-of-use asset as if the standard had been applied since the lease commencements. At the end of the quarter, the lease liability amounted to SEK 121.2 M. The right-of-use assets are presented on the fixed assets line on the consolidated balance sheet and the lease liabilities are presented as line items under long-term and current interest-bearing liabilities. A summary of opening lease liabilities is presented in the table below:

AMOUNTS IN SEK 000s Jan 1, 2019
Operating lease commitments at December 31, 2018 181,478
Discounting with the Group's incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019 -13,779
Plus: liabilities for finance leases at December 31, 2018
(Less): short-term leases expensed on a straight-line basis
(Less): leases for which the underlying asset is low value that are expensed on a straight-line basis -81
Lease liability recognized at January 1, 2019 174,708
-
of which current lease liability
34,262
-
of which long-term lease liability
140,446

When measuring the lease liability, the Group discounted the lease payments using the incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted average rate of interest used was 2.6 percent.

In accordance with IFRS 16 transition options, the lease liability for leases previously classified as financial leases has, in the initial amount for 2019 as specified above, been recognized at the same amount as at the end of 2018.

NOTE 2 IMPACT OF CHANGES IN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

IFRS 16 Leases

The recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities changed as follows during the period:

AMOUNTS IN SEK 000s RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS LEASE

Lease payments paid (+) 40,368
Closing balance, December 31, 2019 109,771 5,706 115,477 -121,203

In the table above, revaluation of leases pertains to a new assessment of rental leases for office premises in Stockholm, for which an extension option will likely be exercised until the third quarter of 2021.

To-date during the year, IFRS 16 has impacted consolidated profit or loss as follows:

NOTE 4 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 5 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 December 2019, the credit loss provision was SEK 20.4 M (15.1).

The improvement was mainly due to credit loss provisions for receivables in Iran and China. Historically, the Group's credit losses have been limited. Since the company was founded in 2000, actual credit losses have amounted to 0.02 percent and provisions for expected credit losses to 0.5 percent of total sales.

NOTE 6 RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

No transactions were conducted between RaySearch and related parties with any material impact on the company's position and earnings during the period.
