INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1-MARCH 31, 2018

"During the first quarter 2018, net sales decreased 8 percent to SEK 116 M [127] and operating margin declined to 12 percent [26], primarily due to changes in accounting policies. With unchanged accounting policies, net sales would have been the same as the corresponding quarter of 2017, i.e., SEK 127 M, and the operating margin 19 percent. Cash flow before financing activities improved to SEK 13 M [8]. We are secure in our long-term strategy and our expansion is continuing," says Johan Löf, CEO of RaySearch.

THREE MONTHS (JANUARY-MARCH 2018)

  • Net sales SEK 116.3 M (126.8), of which revenues from RayStation/RayCare SEK 104.2 M (112.3)
  • Profit after tax SEK 11.8 M (26.3), and earnings per share before/after dilution SEK 0.34 (0.77)
  • Operating profit SEK 14.1 M [33.5] $\bullet$
  • $\bullet$ Cash flow for the period SEK 12.3 M (neg: 3.0)

  • At the end of the period, the order backlog excl. service agreements for RayStation/RayCare was SEK 58.5 M [58.1]

CHANGES TO ACCOUNTING POLICIES

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers applies as of January 1, 2018, which has reduced the company's license revenue from RayStation by 12.5 percent during the first quarter 2018 compared with previous accounting policy (IAS 18), see Notes 1-2. The changed accounting policies also have a negative impact on net sales and earnings in the last 12-months period.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE FIRST QUARTER

  • RayStation was selected by several leading cancer centers, including Georgia Proton Treatment Center and Mission Hospital - SECU Cancer Center in the US, CHU de Québec-Université Laval in Canada, and Universitätsmedizin Rostock and Klinikum rechts der Isar der TU München in Germany.
  • RaySearch entered into a strategic partnership with MD Anderson with intention of improving radiation therapy.
  • In March 2018, 200,000 Class A shares were converted to Class B at the request of a shareholder. $\bullet$

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

  • RayStation has been selected as the treatment planning system for the two proton and carbon ion therapy centers, Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center (HIT) and Marburg Ion Beam Therapy Center (MIT), in Germany.

CEO COMMENT

EXPANDED PARTNERSHIPS

RauSearch had a positive start to 2018, even if this cannot yet be seen in the sales figures. For example, we entered into a long-term collaborative agreement with Heidelberg University Hospital for RayCare, and the two proton and carbon ion therapy centers nearby, Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center (HIT) and Marburg Ion Beam Therapy Center (MIT), both selected RayStation for their treatment planning. All carbon ion therapy centers in Europe have thus now selected RayStation. We have also enhanced our cooperation with MD

Anderson through a strategic partnership with intention of improving radiation therapy, which will result in several new products in the future.

REDUCED PROFITS AFTER CHANGES TO ACCOUNTING POLICIES

During the first quarter 2018, the total order intake excluding service agreements increased 2 percent to SEK 107 M (105), of which order intake for RayStation improved 4 percent to SEK 97 M [94]. Sales were relatively strong in North America, but weak in Asia.

Net sales declined 8 percent to SEK 116 M [127] due to changes in accounting policies, IFRS 15, which delay our revenue recognition. Adjusted for changes in accounting policies and currency effects, organic net sales growth was over 4 percent.

Operating profit decreased to SEK 14 M (33), representing an operating margin of 12 percent (26). The decline in profit was due primarily to changes in accounting policies, increased amortization arising from the launch of RayCare, and higher operating expenses following the expansion of our global marketing organization.

Cash flow before financing activities improved to SEK 12 M (neg: 3).

CONTINUED EXPANSION

We feel secure in our long-term strategy, and in 2018 we will continue to expand our global marketing organization to address the entire market systematically, to accelerate sales of both RayStation and RayCare and to ensure the bestpossible customer service. This may reduce the company's operating margin in the short term, but will lead to high growth with healthy margins in the future.

In 2018, we will move into new geographic markets and we will have a stronger focus on smaller clinics around the world. Our solutions are perfectly suited to help small and mid-sized clinics to provide optimal patient treatment, enhance efficiency and to get the most from their resources.

"We feel secure in our long-term strategy. We are making large investments in our research and development organization and we are driving the operations forward at full force"

RAYCARE - NEXT-GENERATION ONCOLOGY SOFTWARE

The primary aim of RaySearch's operations is to improve and save the lives of cancer patients, which is the underlying driver of everything we create and all our decisions. With our innovative software solutions, we are continuously endeavoring to improve and increase the efficiency of clinical workflows, and to improve treatment outcomes for cancer patients. RayCare is radically different to other OISs and we have invested a great deal of time and energy into creating something that will fundamentally transform cancer care. For example, RayCare brings integrated cancer care within reach of many cancer centers, and our goal is to further develop cancer care with powerful tools that combine treatment planning, clinical work flow and data management, resource optimization, machine learning and efficient follow-up.

Our development model is based on partnerships with leading clinics worldwide and provides ideal conditions for success by combining the extensive clinical knowledge and resources of our partners with RaySearch's ability to develop innovative software solutions.

CLEAR PLAN AND SOLID BASE FOR CONTINUED INVESTMENT

Our sales and earnings will continue to vary by quarter since the order intake remains subject to relatively large fluctuations. However, we are seeing a steady rise in our recurring support revenues. Combined with a clear strategic plan, this provides a stable base for continued investment in both RayStation and RayCare.

To date, 490 cancer centers in 32 countries have purchased RayStation. At the same time, there are more than 8,000 radiation therapy clinics worldwide and that number is expected to grow rapidly over the next decade. The driving forces include rising cancer rates, growing awareness of the advantages of radiation therapy and major investment in cancer therapies in Asia. The market is therefore growing steadily and we will continue to grow considerably faster than the market. Our aim is that at least 3,000 clinics will have purchased RayStation within ten years, representing a market share of about 30 percent.

These are exciting times. We have made fantastic progress so far and, above all, we have established a platform for greater expansion and new strategic opportunities. Through cooperation, openness and innovation, we will continue to strive to achieve our vision of a world where cancer is conquered.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

At March 31, 2018, the order backlog for RayStation/RayCare, excluding service agreements, was SEK 58.5 M [58.1].

REVENUE

In the first quarter of 2018, net sales declined 8.3 percent to SEK 116.3 M [126.8]. The decrease is primarily due to the application of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers as of January 1, 2018, which will delay revenue recognition and reduce the company's license revenue from RayStation by 12.5 percent and net sales by 8.5 percent during the first quarter 2018 compared med previous accounting policy (IAS 18), see Notes 1-2. In addition, currency effects, mainly the weaker USD, had an adverse impact on net sales of 4.0 percent compared with the year-earlier period. Adjusted for changes in accounting policies, organic net sales growth was 4.2 percent.

Recurring support revenues from RayStation rose 45 percent to SEK 16.7 M [11.5], representing 14 percent [9] of total revenues during the period.

Revenues from sales of software modules via partners declined 16 percent to SEK 12.1 M (14.5), representing 10 percent [11] of net sales.

In the first quarter, net sales had the following geographic distribution: North America, 53 percent (37); Asia, 8 percent (4); Europe and the rest of the world 39 percent (59).

OPERATING PROFIT

In the first quarter of 2018, operating profit declined to SEK 14.1 M (33.5), representing an operating margin of 12.1 percent (26.4). The earnings decline is partly explained by the application of IFRS 15 as of January 1, 2018, which will delay the company's revenue recognition and reduce the company's operating profit by SEK 10.1 M during the first quarter 2018, see Notes 1-2. In addition, the weaker earnings were attributable to increased amortization, due primarily to the launch of RayCare, and higher operating expenses, given that the company increased the number of employees by approximately 33 percent since the first quarter of last year, mainly within the global marketing organization and in research and development, which has not yet generated higher order intake.

Other operating income and expenses pertained to exchange-rate gains with the net of these, in the first quarter of 2018, amounting to a gain of SEK 6.4 M (loss: 4.2). This was mainly due to the major portion of accounts receivable denominated in USD and EUR, which strengthened against the SEK in the first quarter compared with the end of the fourth quarter.

Currency effects

The company is impacted by USD and EUR to SEK exchange-rate trends since most sales are invoiced in USD and EUR, while most costs are in SEK. At unchanged exchange rates, organic sales growth was a negative 4.3 percent in the first quarter of 2018, compared with the year-on-year period. Currency effects thus had a negative impact on sales in the first quarter of 2018.

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 3.3 M in the first quarter of 2018, while a corresponding change in the EUR exchange rate would have impacted consolidated operating profit by approximately +/- SEK 1.0 M.

The company follows the financial policy established by the Board, whereby exchange-rate fluctuations are not hedged. Exchange-rate fluctuations had a positive impact on operating profit of SEK 2 M for the first quarter.

Capitalization of development costs

At March 31, 2018, some 146 (116) employees were engaged in research and development.

For the quarter, research and development costs amounted to SEK 50.4 M [39.6], of which development costs of SEK 38.7 M (29.8) were capitalized. The increase is mainly due to higher development costs for RayCare. Amortization of capitalized development costs during the first quarter of 2018 amounted to SEK 23.1 M [14.7]. After adjustments for capitalization and amortization of development costs, research and development costs totaled SEK 34.8 M [24.5].

Amortization and depreciation

In the first quarter of 2018, total amortization and depreciation was SEK 25.6 M [17.7], of which amortization of intangible fixed assets accounted for SEK 23.1 M (14.7), primarily related to capitalized development costs. Depreciation of tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 2.5 M [3.0].

PROFIT AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Profit after tax for the first quarter of 2018 was SEK 11.8 M [26.3], corresponding to earnings per share before and after dilution of SEK 0.34 [0.77].

Tax expense for the year amounted to SEK 2.0 M (expense: 6.4), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 15.0 percent [19.5]. The low tax expense was primarily due to the revalued and dissolved tax reserve in the North American subsidiary, and a lower corporate tax rate in the US due to the US Tax Reform, which applies as of January 1, 2018.

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY

In the first quarter of 2018, cash flow from operating activities increased to SEK 56.0 M [39.4], attributable to a reduction in working capital. Working capital primarily comprises accounts receivable and accrued income. At the end of the period, accounts receivable represented 54 percent (43) of net sales over the past 12 months and accrued income for 14 percent (18) of net sales over the past 12 months.

RaySearch has agreements with customers whereby deliveries have long payment terms, which is normal in the industry. The company recognizes accounts receivable when delivery has occurred and an invoice issued, and accrued income when delivery has occurred but before an invoice has been issued, for example, when a payment plan exists. The subsequent effect is that the Group's accounts receivable and accrued income, respectively, add up to relatively high amounts compared with net sales. In the past 12 months, accounts receivable increased in relation to net sales, as the company signed more agreements with longer payment terms. However, the company has signed fewer agreements with payment plans. The company expects its credit risk to remain low since the counterparties are institutions with high credit ratings.

In the first quarter, cash flow from investing activities was a negative SEK 43.1 M (neg: 31.4). Investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to a negative SEK 38.8 M (neg: 29.8), and comprised capitalized development costs for RayStation and RayCare, Investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to a negative SEK 4.3 M (neg: 1.6).

Cash flow before financing activities was SEK 13.0 M [8.0] in the first quarter of 2018.

In the first quarter of 2018, cash flow from financing activities was a negative SEK 0.6 M (neg: 11.0).

Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK 12.3 M (neg: 3.0) and at March 31, 2018, the Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 117.8 M [84.4].

FINANCIAL POSITION

At March 31, 2018, RaySearch's total assets amounted to SEK 933 M [736] and the equity/assets ratio was 63.5 percent [66.2]. Current receivables amounted to SEK 431 M [341]. The receivables mainly comprised accounts receivable and accrued

income, and the increase was primarily the result of more agreements with longer payment terms.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the company entered a six-year lease for new office premises in San Francisco and a ten-year lease for new office premises in New York, both with estimated access in the second or third quarter of 2018 due to rebuilding.

In 2017, the company's line of credit was increased from SEK 100 M to SEK 350 M. The credit facility runs until May 2020 and comprises a revolving loan facility of up to SEK 300 M and an overdraft facility of SEK 50 M. Chattel mortgages amount to SEK 100 M. At March 31, 2018, a short-term loan totaling SEK 75 M had been utilized within the framework of the company's revolving loan facility. At March 31, 2018, the Group had negative net debt of SEK 34.7 M (neg: 32.9).

EMPLOYEES

In the January-March period of 2018, the average number of employees in the Group was 267 (201). At the end of the first quarter, the Group had 273 (208) employees, of whom 213 (168) were based in Sweden, and 60 (40) 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. However, the capitalization of development costs and items related to finance leases are recognized in the Group, but not in the Parent Company.

The differences in earnings between the Parent Company and the Group are explained by the Parent Company accounting for a relatively high proportion of operating expenses and that capitalization of development expenses is reported in the Group, but not in the Parent Company.

The earnings decline for the Parent Company is partly explained by the application of IFRS 15 as of January 1, 2018, which delays the company's revenue recognition and reduces the company's operating profit by approximately 3.5 M during the first quarter 2018. In addition, the weaker earnings were attributable to increased amortization, due primarily to the launch of RayCare, and higher operating expenses, given that the Parent Company increased the number of employees by approximately 27 percent since the first quarter of last year, mainly within the market organization and in research and development, which has not yet generated higher order intake.

The Parent Company's current receivables mainly comprise receivables from Group companies and accounts receivable.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD

Strategic partnership with MD Anderson with intention of improving radiation therapy

In February 2018, it was announced that the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and RaySearch had entered a strategic alliance with the aim of improving radiation therapy. The aim is to achieve greater precision when treating tumors and to improve and increase access to an already existing radiation therapy - adaptive radiation therapy (ART) - which, at present, is largely limited to highly specialized cancer centers.

RayStation was selected by several leading cancer centers

During the first quarter 2018, several of the world's largest and most respected cancer centers selected RayStation as their treatment planning system, including Georgia Proton Treatment Center and Mission Hospital - SECU Cancer Center in the US, CHU de Québec-Université Laval in Canada, and Universitätsmedizin Rostock and Klinikum rechts der Isar der TU München in Germany.

In addition, the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands has expanded its existing RayStation installation.

Share conversion

In March 2018, 200,000 Class A shares were converted to Class B at the request of a shareholder. The total number of votes in RaySearch thereafter amounted to 110,377,548. The total number of registered shares in RaySearch amounts to 34,282,773, of which 8,454,975 are Class A and 25,827,798 Class B.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

RayStation was selected by the proton and carbon ion therapy centers in Heidelberg and Marburg

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 2017 Annual Report for RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ), which is available on 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. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, Chapter 9, Interim report.

New and revised accounting standards applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

As of January 1, 2018, RaySearch applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaced IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The new principles for classifying financial assets had no impact the Group's earnings and position. The new model for calculating credit losses impacts the impairment process, but had no significant impact on the Group's earnings and position. The company follows the financial policy established by the Board, whereby exchange-rate changes are not hedged, and are not therefore impacted by the new principles for hedge accounting.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers has replaced previously issued revenue standards and interpretations. According to IFRS 15, revenue shall be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to the customer, which can take place over time or at a single time. Revenue shall constitute the amount the company expects to receive as payment for the transferred goods or services.

IFRS 15 is applicable as of January 1, 2018. The transition to the standard was achieved using a forward-looking retroactive transitional method, meaning any transitional effects are recognized against shareholders' equity on January 1, 2018 and that the income statement will be presented in accordance with IFRS 15 as of 2018. As no significant agreements were in effect at the end of the year, according to the previously applied accounting policies, no transition effect arose at January 1, 2018.

The transition to IFRS 15 impacts license and support revenues from RayStation and RayCare, primarily attributable to the warranty period offered by the company. According to IFRS 15, recognized license revenue shall be reduced by an amount corresponding to the value of the support included during the agreed warranty period, and this amount shall thereafter be taken up as income on an ongoing basis during the warranty period. The transition to IFRS 15 reduced the company's license revenues from RayStation and RayCare by approximately 12 percent compared med previously applied accounting policies, at the same time as the company's support revenues increased by a corresponding amount, though with an average delay of about nine months.

Overall, the transition to IFRS 15 is expected to result in a temporary reduction in revenue of approximately 7-9 percent for the full-year 2018 compared the previously applied accounting policies.

New and revised accounting standards not yet effective but will apply during the forthcoming periods

IFRS 16 Leases will come into effect on January 1, 2019. RaySearch has begun work to evaluate the impact of the new standard. The initial assessment is that the new standard will impact RaySearch with respect to rental leases for premises, vehicles and other large leased assets as these will be recognized in the balance sheet.

NOTE 2 IMPACT OF CHANGES IN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The following tables summarize the impact of a transition to IFRS 15 on the consolidated income statement for the first quarter 2018 and the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. The transition to IFRS 15 has no material effect on consolidated cash flow.

NOTE 4 ESTIMATES

Preparation of the interim report requires that company management makes 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 accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, accrued income, accrued expenses, accounts payable, bank loans and a finance lease. Long-term accounts receivable and accrued income are discounted, while other financial assets and liabilities have short-term maturities. Accordingly, the fair values of all financial instruments are deemed to correspond approximately to their carrying amounts. RaySearch has not applied net accounting to any financial assets or liabilities, and has no agreements that permit offsetting.

NOTE 6 RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

No transactions between RaySearch and related parties materially affected the company's position and earnings during the period.

BUSINESS CONCEPT

RaySearch's mission is to contribute to the advancement of cancer care by developing innovative software solutions that improve quality of life for cancer patients and save lives.

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. The RayStation treatment planning system and the RayCare oncology information system are developed at RaySearch's head office in Stockholm, and distributed and supported by the company's global marketing organization.

STRATEGY

A radiation therapy clinic essentially needs two software platforms for its operations: a treatment planning system and an oncology 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.
