Our continuous improvements and transformation are generating results. Delivery volumes are approaching satisfactory levels following the major adjustment we implemented in the first half of last year. Gross margin has improved, cash flow has strengthened and net working capital continues at a low level. At the same time the commercialization of Elekta Unity is progressing well and we continue to invest in it, as well as our activities relating to Elekta Digital.
Net sales in the quarter increased by 15 percent as reported or by 12 percent based on constant exchange rates, driven by strong growth in China, Western Europe and emerging markets. Delivery volumes are approaching satisfactory levels following the implementation of our produce-to-order process during the first half of last year. Gross margin strengthened by 1.8 percentage points and EBITA rose 13 percent to SEK 187 M.
We continue to invest in cancer care for the future and during the quarter, further resources were allocated to the commercialization of Elekta Unity and our commitment in the software development program Elekta Digital. This has affected the EBITA-margin, but at the same time, we are prioritizing day-to-day work to continuously improve our processes and further reduce our cost base to reach our targets. In addition, the finalized transformation program also adds direct cost savings of SEK 150 M which will be realized during the year. As the transformation program is completed and major legal disputes were closed last year, we had no one-off costs in the quarter.
Our order intake grew by 3 percent in SEK and was flat based on constant exchange rates. Overall, I am convinced that we can do better, especially with Elekta Unity coming to the market this year. Order intake in Asia Pacific rose 10 as reported or 7 percent based on local currencies, driven by strong development in Southeast Asia and good growth in China. In Europe, we had strong performance in Germany, Italy and Spain, but the overall comparison was challenging from last year. In North America, we begin to see the results of our improvement program and order bookings increased 8 percent as reported or 5 percent in local currencies. However, development in Latin America was slow.
Much of the interest at ASTRO in September this year will center around our groundbreaking system, Elekta Unity, which combines radiation therapy and visualization with high-field MRI in real time. We have also added two Unity orders from leading hospitals in Hong Kong to our order backlog during the quarter. The first patient study has now been concluded and demonstrated precision beyond expectations. The system generates excellent imaging synchronized with precision beam delivery. We are convinced that the new technology will revolutionize radiation therapy and create completely new opportunities for physicians and their patients. We are advancing towards CE-mark and 510k filing that are planned before end of this calendar year and we reiterate our ambition to generate 75 orders until year end 2019.
I have my management team in place and organization aligned. I am looking forward to the rest of this fiscal year and our targets are clear. We will return to profitable growth and with continuous process improvements and cost savings we reiterate our target of an EBITA margin exceeding 20 percent.

Gross order intake increased 3 percent to SEK 2,738 M (2,662) and was flat based on constant exchange rates.

Order backlog was SEK 21,699 M, compared to SEK 22,459 M on April 30, 2017. Order backlog is converted at closing exchange rates which resulted in a negative translation difference of SEK 1,277 M. According to current delivery plans, the order backlog is expected to be recognized as follows: approximately 32 percent in the remaining nine months of 2017/18, 28 percent in 2018/19 and 40 percent thereafter.
The market in the US is stable and driven by investments to renew the installed base of radiation therapy systems. In the first quarter, new proposals for radiation therapy reimbursement were presented. The reimbursement levels, if implemented, would generally remain unchanged.
Elekta is working intensively to strengthen its operations in North America, with the aim of improvement during this year. Order intake in North America grew by 8 percent during the first quarter. Order intake for the entire region, decreased by 2 percent, which is equivalent to a decrease by 6 percent based on constant exchange rates. The decline is related to Latin America.
Demand for cancer care is growing in South America, mainly driven by a rapidly aging population and a considerable shortage in capacity for radiation therapy. However, weak economic conditions throughout the region have slowed investments in new equipment.
Radiation therapy capacity in Western Europe is inadequate, evidenced by the long waiting times for treatment in many countries. This is being addressed by investments in public health care systems and through an increase in investments from private care providers.
Order intake in the region was unchanged during the first quarter, or declined by 4 percent based on constant exchange rates. The growth was favorable in Germany, Italy and Spain, while the comparison from last year is challenging due to a large order of EUR 20 M booked in Austria.
The region is home to 60 percent of the global population, but less than 30 percent of the world's total radiation therapy capacity. Accordingly, there is a large unmet need for cancer care. The main market drivers are longer life expectancy and greater economic prosperity, which are leading to a growing need for investments in health care. Market growth in the region was favorable in the first quarter. High-growth markets include Southeast Asia and China. The Japanese market is currently weak.
Elekta's order intake increased 10 percent in the first quarter or by 7 percent based on unchanged exchange rates.
The implementation of the transformation program is completed and all the objectives announced in June 2015 are on track to be fully realized during the fiscal year.
| Objectives | Status |
|---|---|
| EBITA margin of >20 percent in fiscal year | On track – rolling 12 months was 15 |

| Cost savings of SEK 700* M with full effect from fiscal year 2017/18 |
On track - All savings related to operating expenses have been realized. In addition COGS savings of SEK 150 M will be realized during the fiscal year 2017/18. At the same time Elekta is prioritizing to continuously improve the processes to further reduce costs. |

*Base year 2014/15, excluding currency effects.
Net sales amounted to SEK 2,169 M (1,882), an increase of 15 percent or 12 percent based on constant exchange rates. The increase is driven by strong growth in China, Western Europe, and emerging markets. Delivery volumes are approaching satisfactory levels following the implementation of the produce-to-order process during the first half of last year.

*Compared to last fiscal year based on constant exchange rates.
Gross margin was 42.4 percent (40.6). The increase is mainly driven by higher delivery volumes. Operating expenses increased, mainly related to investments in the commercialization of Elekta Unity and Elekta Digital. R&D expenditure, before capitalization of development costs, amounted to SEK 338 M (284), equal to 16 percent (15) of net sales. EBITA before items affecting comparability and bad debts losses increased to SEK 187 M (166) representing a margin of 9 percent (9). The effect from changes in exchange rates compared with last year was approximately SEK 5 M including hedges.
As the transformation program and the legal dispute with Varian was completed in 2016/17 no items affecting comparability were reported in the quarter (SEK -89 M). Bad debt losses amounted to SEK -10 M (-6) and operating result was SEK 38 M (-34).
Net financial items amounted to SEK -39 M (-51). The decline is mainly related to lower interest rates as a result of refinancing in 2016/17. Profit before tax amounted to SEK -1 M (-85), tax amounted to SEK 0 M (20) and net income amounted to SEK -1 M (-64). Earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.00 (-0.17) before/after dilution. Return on shareholders' equity amounted to 3 percent (3) and return on capital employed amounted to 6 percent (5).

Continuous investments were SEK 171 M (132), including investments in intangible assets of SEK 128 M (105) and investments in other assets of SEK 43 M (26). Investments in intangible assets is related to ongoing R&D programs. The increase was mainly related to investments in commercialization of Elekta Unity. Amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of tangible fixed assets amounted to a total of SEK 177 M (144). The increase refers mainly to amortizations relating to Elekta Unity.
Cash flow from operating activities improved to SEK 76 M (-139). The operational cash conversion for rolling 12 months was 150 percent (124). Cash flow after continuous investments was SEK -95 M (-308). The cash flow improvement was mainly due to higher earnings and improved working capital.

As a consequence of the produce to order process implemented in 2016/17, lead times continued to decrease which reduced Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) to 9 days (47). Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific regions improved compared to last year, and North and South America is still showing negative DSO. In the quarter most of the improvement related to reduced levels of accounts receivable and accrued income.

On June 29 Elekta AB entered into a new five year revolving credit facility for EUR 200 M, primarily intended to be used as a back-up financing. The previously existing EUR 175 M revolving credit facility with maturity in May 2018 was cancelled in connection with the signing of the new facility.
Gustaf Salford was appointed Chief Financial Officer effective July 1, 2017. He succeeded Håkan Bergström. Steven Wort was appointed Chief Operating Officer effective September 1, 2017. He succeeds Johan Sedihn.
As earlier reported an arbitration tribunal in London issued an award in the dispute between two Elekta group companies and humediQ GmbH in May 2016. humediQ GmbH has now initiated a new arbitration against the same Elekta group companies and arising out of the same agreement as the previous arbitration. Elekta believes that the claims are meritless and will vigorously defend itself.
As communicated in November 2015, Elekta's subsidiary in Italy and some former employees are suspected of interfering with public procurement processes. Elekta provided all requested information to the Italian authorities during the investigation which closed in August 2016. Elekta has zero tolerance for any deviation from the code of conduct and clear corporate policies and procedures in place. The Judge of the Milan Court declared on July 3, 2017 lack of jurisdiction and the case is referred to the Prosecution Office of Monza.
Elekta has appointed Ioannis Panagiotelis as Chief Marketing and Sales Officer (CMSO) with immediate effect following the decision by Chief Commercial Officer Ian Alexander to resign. All Elekta markets will report to the new CMSO except China and North America; they will report directly to the CEO.
The average number of employees during the period was 3,680 (3,530). The increase compared to previous year is mainly related to investments in research and development.
The average number of employees in the Parent Company was 31 (31).
Total number of registered shares on July 31, 2017 was 383,568,409 of which 14,980,769 were A-shares and 368,587,640 B-shares. On July 31, 2017 1,541,368 shares were treasury shares held by Elekta.
Elekta's presence in a large number of geographical markets exposes the Group to political and economic risks on a global scale and/or in individual countries. United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union, as an example, might lead to economic uncertainty that may impact Elekta since an important part of the business is located in the United Kingdom.
The competitive landscape for Elekta is continuously changing. The medical equipment industry is characterized by technological developments and continuous improvements of industrial know-how, resulting in companies launching new products and improved methods for treatment. Elekta strives to be the leader in innovation and offer the most competitive product portfolio, developed in close collaboration with key research leaders in the field. To secure the proceeds of research investments, it is of importance that such new products and new technology are protected from the risk of improper use by competitors. When possible and deemed appropriate, Elekta protects its intellectual property rights by way of patents, copyrights and trademark registrations. Elekta carefully monitors intellectual property rights of third parties, but third parties may still direct infringement claims against Elekta which may lead to time-consuming and costly legal disputes as well as business interruption and other limitations in operations.
Elekta sells solutions through its direct sales force and through an external network of agents and distributors. The Company's continued success is dependent on the ability to establish and maintain successful relationships with customers. Elekta is continuously evaluating how to enter new markets, considering both the opportunities and the risks involved. There are regulatory registration requirements with each new market that potentially could delay product introductions and certifications. The stability of the political system in certain countries and the security situation for employees traveling to exposed areas are constantly evaluated. Corruption is a risk and an obstacle for development and growth in some countries. Elekta has implemented a specific anti-corruption policy to guide the business as it aims to be in line with national and international regulations and best practices against corruption as well as third party risk management processes.
Elekta's operations comprise several markets that expose the Group to a vast number of laws, regulations, policies and guidelines regarding, for example, health, security, environmental matters, trade restrictions, competition and delivery of products. Elekta's quality systems describe these requirements, which are reviewed and certified by external supervisory bodies and are regularly inspected by authorities in applicable countries, for example, the US FDA. Noncompliance of, for example, safety regulations can result in delayed or stopped deliveries of products. Changes in regulations and rules might also increase Elekta's costs and delay the development and introduction of new products.
Elekta depends also on the capability of producing advanced medical equipment, which requires highly qualified personnel. The Company's ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and management has a significant impact on the future success of the Group.
Weak economic development and high levels of public debt might, in some markets, mean less availability of financing for private customers and reduced future healthcare spending by governments. Political decisions that could impact the healthcare reimbursement systems also constitute a risk factor. Elekta's ability to commercialize products is dependent on the reimbursement level that hospitals and clinics can obtain for different types of treatments. Alterations in the existing reimbursement systems related to medical products, or implementation of new regulations, might impact future product mix in specific markets.
Elekta's delivery of treatment equipment relies largely on customers' readiness to receive the delivery at site. Depending on contractual payment terms, a delay can result in postponed invoicing and also affect timing of revenue recognition. The Group's credit risks are normally limited since customer operations are, to a large extent, financed either directly or indirectly by public funds.
Elekta depends on a number of suppliers for components. There is a risk that delivery difficulties might occur due to circumstances beyond Elekta's control. Critical suppliers are regularly followed up regarding delivery precision and quality of components.
Elekta's operations within research and development, production, distribution, marketing and administration depend on a large number of advanced IT systems and IT solutions. Routines and procedures are applied in order to protect the hardware, software and information against damages, manipulations, loss or incorrect use. If these systems and solutions should be affected by any interference resulting in loss of information it might have a negative impact on Elekta's operations, result and financial position.
In its operations, Elekta is subject to a number of financial risks primarily related to exchange rate fluctuations. In the short term, the effect of currency movements is reduced through forward contracts. Hedging is conducted on the basis of expected net sales over a period of up to 24 months. The scope of the hedging is determined by the Company's assessment of currency risks. Risk exposure is regulated through a financial policy established by the Board of Directors. The overall responsibility for handling the Group's financial risks, and developing methods and guidelines for dealing with financial risks, rests with the executive management and the finance function. For more detailed information regarding these risks, see Note 2 in the Annual Report 2016/17.
Stockholm, August 23, 2017
Richard Hausmann CEO and President
This report has not been reviewed by the Company´s auditors.
This interim report is prepared, with regard to the Group, according to IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and, with regard to the Parent Company, according to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2. The accounting principles applied correspond to those presented in Note 1 of the Annual Report 2016/17.
The preparation for the implementation of IFRS 9 Financial instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers as per May 1, 2018 is ongoing.
For IFRS 9 the current assessment is that the implementation of the standard will not have any material impact on the Group's financial position or result. Areas that will be further evaluated relate to classification of receivables and the effect on the bad debt provision from replacing the incurred loss model currently applied for impairment with an expected loss model.
For IFRS 15 a one-time effect is expected to be reported in equity mainly relating to the timing for revenue recognition of treatment solutions. With the present policy, treatment solutions are revenue recognized when risks and rewards are transferred to the customer, which is normally at the time of shipment. According to IFRS 15 revenue recognition should occur at the time of transfer of control to the customer, which according to Elekta's assessment is when the treatment solution is ready for installation at the customer's site. As under the present policy, some agreements with customers stipulate terms under which transfer of control occurs at the time of acceptance. The financial impact that will be reported in equity on transition will primarily depend on the number of treatment solutions that are shipped but are not yet ready for installation at the customer's site at this point in time. Other less significant financial effects are also expected from the transition, mainly relating to changes in the allocation of the transaction price to various performance obligations. The Group is currently performing a more detailed assessment of the impact from the implementation of IFRS 15, both from an operational and financial perspective. This exercise is still ongoing and therefore it is not practicably possible to disclose reliable estimates of the expected financial effects.

EBITA adjusted for items affecting comparability and bad debt losses is used by management to evaluate the business and is considered to assist management and investors in comparing the performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. Bad debt losses have been excluded as these relate to turbulence in the market that is not expected to occur on a regular basis. For a reconciliation of EBITA adjusted for items affecting comparability and bad debt losses, to operating result (EBIT) as presented in the IFRS income statement, see page 10.
