Comments from Tim Thurn, CEO:

After a strong order intake for FY 2014, the first quarter of 2015 shows a record in both orders and revenues. Order intake totaled 22.1 MSEK during Q1 2015, up 51% from Q1 2014. Orders for Positioning Products (which includes Sentinel, Catalyst and Cyrpa lasers) and related service products increased by 127%. Revenues for the entire group amounted to 15.2 MSEK in Q1 2015. This is an improvement of 37% compared to Q1 2014. It should be noted that in Q1 2015 production activities for the German company IBA Dosimetry did not contribute to orders and revenue, since C-RAD phased out production activities in Q4 2014.

These results confirm that we are on track for achieving our ambitious financial targets: increasing sales by 50% a year through 2017, with a profit margin of 60%. They also indicate that our major investment in expanding our sales force has yielded results, and shall continue. The growing interest in the market must be addressed by competent and experienced people who can get C-RAD's message out to decision-makers in radiation therapy centers.

Recruiting has been proceeding very well: The US, which is expected to be a main sales driver, has five sales/service staff, with two more under recruitment; France started direct sales this January, and has its two people in place; two sales and service staff in Germany will be complemented by an additional sales person; and China will also add one salesperson. In addition, we have opened up the Swiss market through an agreement with MedTech Consulting Cossman that cover sales, service and clinical training. The financing of our expansion has been addressed.

This quarter's new sales include four systems to Estonia – the first sale in the Baltic region – and three systems to Dresden, Germany. Deliveries are phased over Q2-Q3.

Cash flow at the end of the quarter was low and we need to use our bank overdraft with 2.9 MSEK. This can be attributed to the fact that many deliveries took place in March, with payments due in April.

Recent successful appearances at exhibitions include the International Technical Exhibition of Medical Imaging (ITEM) in Japan, where we provided demonstrations of high-end treatments together with our partner Elekta. Our presence at the European Society for Radiotherapy & Oncology (ESTRO), the largest European radiation therapy group, was also marked by positive meetings with clinical customers and a good deal of traffic through our booth.

The Skandionkliniken Uppsala tender that we won in Q3 was appealed by a competitor, resulting in a new tender process. C-RAD has submitted its quotation under the new tender process. A decision is expected soon, but no schedule has been communicated by the customer.

With regard to our joint development with the Franco-Belgian company Cyrpa – in which we hold a minority stake of 29 percent – our joint product demonstrations have been well received in sales discussions with customers. Our current plan calls for integration of Cyrpa in 2016, but overall positive market developments continue to reinforce the benefits of an earlier integration, so we are investigating our options for accelerating this integration.

Overall, we are very pleased with this quarter's performance, and look forward to increased sales activity and a strong order flow due to our expanded sales force, presence and visibility on the international stage.

Large order for seven C-RAD systems from Germany and Estonia

C-RAD secured an order for two Catalyst™ systems as well as a Sentinel™ system from Städtisches Klinikum Dresden-Friedrichstadt, which operates in the eastern part of Germany, and was awarded with an order of two Catalyst™ systems as well as two Sentinel™ systems from Tartu University Hospital in Estonia.

The delivery and installation in Germany is expected to occur in Q2 2015. The order includes a service contract for 8 years.

Catalyst™ systems in Estonia will be installed together with Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators.

C-RAD further strengthening its global sales organization

C-RAD has released its strategy for further growth, including a measure to strengthen the sales force in key markets. It has appointed a new sales manager for France and five more persons will be added to the sales organization over the next 12 months.

C-RAD signs sales and service agreement for Switzerland

C-RAD has signed a distribution agreement with MedTech Consulting Cossmann GmbH to market the C-RAD product portfolio to Swiss customers. The new partner will also provide service and clinical training.

Tender for surface tracking solution at Skandionkliniken has been redone, due to an appeal by a competitor

As the result of a public tender, Skandionkliniken had chosen C-RAD to deliver surface tracking solutions for Patient Positioning, Motion Monitoring and Respiratory Gating. A competitor, however, filed an appeal in September 2014. The Administrative Court in Uppsala has decided that for the procurement of the surface tracking solution a new public tender procedure needs to be started.

Order for three C-RAD systems from Italy

C-RAD's Italian distributor – TecnoSan S.a.s. – secured an order for two Catalyst™ systems as well as one Sentinel™ 4DCT system from the Ospedale del Mare cancer clinic in Naples.

C-RAD validates its respiratory gating interface for IBA proton and particle therapy

C-RAD has successfully validated the interface for its Catalyst™ product line, which controls the radiation beam for proton and particle treatment systems. The IBA gating interface validation was performed at Westdeutsches Protonentherapiezentrum Essen, in Germany.

Financial development

Gross profit

The gross profit margin was 57% in Q1 2015 compared to 55% in the last quarter of the fiscal year 2014.

Financial development

Seasonality

There is a seasonal pattern in C-RAD's operations. The second half of the year and mainly the fourth quarter that are usually the strongest periods, both in terms of order intake and revenues. This is due to the fact that a large number of customers are hospitals and clinics which have annual budgets per calendar year, and they tend to wait until the end of the year to place orders.

Order backlog

Order backlog represents orders that have been placed but not delivered and invoiced. The backlog amounted to 43.7 MSEK at the end of Q1 2015, compared to 36.4 MSEK at end of 2014.

Order conversion rate - positioning products

Weighted average of the outstanding orders is around 7 months in 2015. This is the time from receiving an order until the order is delivered. The order backlog for positioning products amounted to 37.5 MSEK.

Personnel

At the end of the period the number of employees in the Group amounted to 28 (29) persons.

Exchange rate

The financial statements are presented in SEK, the functional currency of C-RAD. Changes in foreign currencies have an impact on the results. Sales and orders are largely generated in foreign currency, mainly EUR and USD and, in addition, foreign subsidiaries and associates are included in the consolidation. The average EUR rate in Q1 2015 was 9.4 (8.9), while the average USD rate in the period was 8.3 (6.5). This has a positive on the comparison of revenues and order intake (between Q1 2015 and Q1 2014) generated in these currencies.

Salary for the employees and other expenses in the European and American subsidiary are booked in the local currency. Even purchase of material and service from foreign countries have a negative impact on the result.

Bank overdraft

Bank overdraft exercised at the closing day by 2.9 MSEK. The total amount of the bank overdraft is 5 MSEK.

Segment reporting

Group Management has analyzed the Group's internal reporting and established that the Group's operations are managed and evaluated based on the following segments:

  • - Positioning: Development and sales activities for products in the field of patient positioning during radiotherapy, including Catalyst, Sentinel and HIT lasers.
  • - Imaging: Development of imaging devices and detectors for cancer treatments and dosimetry.

Assets and liabilities are not analyzed on segment level by the chief decision maker. Such analysis is therefore excluded from this segment reporting. Activities between segments: Some of the personnel employed within the Imaging segment have conducted work for the Positioning segment. Internal sales covers the direct cost of these cross-segmentservices.
