President and CEO comments

Elekta's dedication to customers, patients and innovation has earned us a leading position in cancer care. I am convinced that our comprehensive solutions will play an even more important role in the future. During the year cancer incidence and cancer prevalence continued to grow faster than the capacity increased, thus widening the gap between need and capacity. I believe Elekta can play a significant role by providing cost-effective and high quality treatment options for our customers and their patients. Elekta's ambition is to continue to grow faster than the market. Our objective of an annual net sales growth exceeding 10 percent in local currency remains unchanged.

Mixed development during last fiscal year

Although the fourth quarter showed record net sales, the year must be qualified as challenging and characterized by mixed market development across the regions. On an aggregated level we estimate that the overall radiation therapy market growth for the year temporarily slowed down to 4 percent, which is substantially lower than historic levels.

Elekta's order bookings rose 5* percent in the fiscal year. We achieved double-digit growth in the US, in China and in our main markets in Europe. In Russia, the market weakened considerably in the latter part of the year. Elekta's performance in India and Latin America was below expectations.

Net sales rose 7* percent in the fourth quarter and 7*percent for the full year. Growth was particularly strong in region Europe, Middle East and Africa. Leksell Gamma Knife® volumes recovered in the fourth quarter according to plan, but volumes for the full year were lower than last year. Our initiatives to strengthen the business will continue. EBITA before non-recurring items amounted to SEK 2,183 M (2,297) for the full year, representing a growth of 3* percent. Currency effects for the year were significant and amounted to SEK -175 M.

Cash flow was lower than expected for the year. We have initiated measures to gradually improve our cash flow through the year and cash conversion is targeted to return to around 70 percent.

Continued progress in product development

Our latest linear accelerator, Versa HD™, has been very well received by the market and exceeded expectations in its first year. During the year, we also launched Esteya, a brachytherapy skin cancer solution, as well as Monaco 5, a state of the art treatment planning system.

We are in a phase of high investments in R&D. The research program for MRI-guided radiation therapy is our largest R&D undertaking to date. We invested approximately SEK 300 M in this program during the year. It is encouraging to see the strong traction the program has among radiation oncologists around the world. Some of the most renowned university hospitals have joined our research consortium. Recently, we started the installation of the world's first high-field MRI-guided radiation therapy system in the University Medical Center in Utrecht in the Netherlands.

Streamlining for the future

We will take measures to improve efficiency and to streamline the organization for further growth. One-off costs related to these measures amounted to SEK 100 M and have been expensed in the fourth quarter. We will also take measures to improve working capital efficiency.

Outlook

There are strong drivers for growth in radiation therapy. Elekta's ambition is to continue to grow faster than the market. Our financial objective of an annual net sales growth exceeding 10 percent in local currency remains unchanged. Due to lower growth in some of our emerging markets and our focus on tighter working capital management we expect net sales to grow by 7-9 percent in local currency for the fiscal year 2014/15.

EBITA is expected to grow by 10 percent or more in local currency compared with last year. Exchange rate movements are expected to have a negative impact of approximately 2 percentage points on EBITA growth.

Order bookings and order backlog

Order bookings increased 1 percent to SEK 12,253 M (12,117) and 5 percent based on constant exchange rates. Order bookings during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 3,901 M (4,037), a decrease of 3 percent based on constant exchange rates.

Order backlog was SEK 13,609 M, compared to SEK 11,942 M on April 30, 2013. Order backlog is converted at closing exchange rates. The translation of the backlog at exchange rates on April 30, 2014 compared to exchange rates on April 30, 2013 resulted in a positive translation difference of SEK 300 M.

Regional development

North and South America

Order bookings in North America increased by 9 percent and for the entire region order bookings increased by 4 percent, based on constant exchange rates. Elekta's business in the US has shown good momentum during the year. Volumes of Leksell Gamma Knife® recovered in the fourth quarter, but volumes for the full year were lower than last year.

Hospital consolidation continued and is driving the market toward more comprehensive solutions. Elekta's oncology treatment and management solutions support the demand for greater focus on clinical efficiency and productivity across large integrated health care systems. Several large orders were won during the year. Among them, a strategic partnership was signed with McLaren Health Care in the US, in which the integration of cancer care systems will be enhanced by Elekta's software and hardware in order to improve quality and efficiency of care.

Elekta's performance in Latin America was not satisfactory and measures have been initiated to improve development.

Europe, Middle East and Africa

Order bookings rose 19 percent for the year and 13 percent in the fourth quarter based on constant exchange rates.

Elekta's performance in the mature markets of Europe was very strong. The growing demand for advanced cancer care in established markets is driving the need to upgrade existing systems as well as the need for additional capacity.

The Middle East showed strong growth with large system wins in Iraq. A structural expansion of radiation therapy capacity is taking place in emerging markets; example of this is a major order that Elekta secured in Algeria during the period. The market in Russia weakened considerably during the latter part of the year, but the long-term potential is positive, in line with its shortage of treatment capacity.

Asia Pacific

It was a challenging year for Asia Pacific with significant currency effects. Order bookings declined 9 percent based on constant exchange rates. Development in Asia Pacific was mixed. South-East Asia and especially India were weak.

Elekta is the market leader in China and performed strongly with double digit growth for the year, outperforming a market with low growth in general. In China, tenders were awarded from the People's Liberation Army and the National Health and Family Planning Commission during the year.

Demand in Japan primarily comprises replacement investments. Order bookings have been essentially flat, which is in line with the market. There are favorable long-term prospects for a growing proportion of radiation therapy in cancer care. Leksell Gamma Knife business in Japan was weak compared to historical levels.

Net sales

Net sales increased 3 percent to SEK 10,694 M (10,339) and 7 percent based on constant exchange rates. In the fourth quarter net sales increased 7* percent.

Outlook

There are strong drivers for growth in radiation therapy. Elekta's ambition is to continue to grow faster than the market and the financial objective of an annual net sales growth exceeding 10 percent in local currency remains unchanged.

Due to lower growth in some emerging markets and a focus on tighter management of working capital net sales is expected to grow by 7-9 percent in local currency for the fiscal year 2014/15.

EBITA is expected to grow by 10 percent or more in local currency compared with last year. Exchange rate movements are expected to have a negative impact of approximately 2 percentage points on EBITA growth.

Risks and uncertainties

Elekta's presence in a large number of geographical markets exposes the Group to political and economic risks on a global scale or in individual countries.

The competitive landscape for Elekta is continuously changing. The medical equipment industry is characterized by rapid 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 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 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 by aiming to be in line with national and international regulations and best practices against corruption.

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 describes 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. Non-compliance 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 health care 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 ability to deliver 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's production sites depend on a number of suppliers for components. There is a risk that those suppliers might change their terms, or that delivery difficulties might occur due to circumstances beyond the Company's control. Critical suppliers are regularly followed up regarding delivery precision and quality of components.

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 management is regulated through a financial policy established by the Board of Directors. Overall responsibility for handling the Group's financial risks, and developing methods and guidelines for dealing with financial risks, rests with executive management and the finance function. For more detailed information regarding these risks, please see Note 2 in the annual report 2012/13.

Accounting principles

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 2012/13 except effects from new/revised IFRS applied from 1 May, 2013:

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments to the standard require the items in other comprehensive income to be split into two categories: items that will not be reclassified to the income statement and items that subsequently may be reclassified to the income statement. Taxes are disclosed for each category.

IAS 19 Employee Benefits

The amendments to the standard mean, for Elekta, that revaluation of the net debt related to defined benefit pension plans is reported in other comprehensive income instead of in the income statement. Furthermore, interest expenses and expected return on plan assets are replaced by a net interest based on the discount rate and the net deficit or net surplus related to a defined-benefit plan.

Other changes

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement has brought about certain disclosures on financial instruments in the interim reports. Other amended standards, which are effective and applied from the fiscal year 2013/14, have been assessed as not having any material impact on the financial reports.
