Continued steady growth in Services driving topline

Net sales of €242.1 million, up 1% from 2023
- Equipment Sales fell by 4% in the calendar year with 37 projects in equipment backlog (8 Proteus®PLUS and 29 Proteus®ONE systems) and 5 new installations commencing in 2024
- Service Sales increased 7% compared to 2023, driven by improved sites' performance (reduced penalties, higher system uptime bonuses), and 3 renewed customer service contracts
REBIT increased by €2 million to €(21.5) million
Equipment order intake decreased to €106 million (2023: €117 million) with 5 accelerator systems sold (vs. 4 and 1 system restoration sold in 2023), but gaining momentum in Q4
Equipment backlog at €497 million

The first half saw the sales of one Proteus®ONE system to Yale and one procurement contract for a Proteus®PLUS accelerator to CGN. In the second half, a contract was secured for two Proteus®ONE solutions with the University of Pennsylvania Health System, with the first payment received. In December, a contract was secured with AIG for the sale of one Proteus®ONE system in Hyderabad, India. IBA is the market leader in proton therapy globally, securing ~60% market share of all proton therapy systems sold in 2024. There continues to be an active pipeline of potential projects, with particular interest coming from the United States and Asia.

Throughout the year there was a continued acceleration of backlog conversion, as well as a positive impact from the Services business with revenues increasing 7% compared to 2023. There are currently 44 IBA PT active sites generating service revenues worldwide.

Profitability continues to be impacted by customer-related delays in backlog conversion, as well as the delivery of older lower margin projects, notably an exceptional batch of Proteus®ONE projects in

oxide- and gamma-based sterilization solutions. The second half of the year was particularly strong for medical equipment sterilization with 4 Beyond™ solutions sold.

Industrial Solutions continues to provide accelerators for a range of applications. In March an agreement was signed in Germany for the installation of a Be-Efficient solution, intended for e-beam irradiation for polymer crosslinking applications. In November, IBA signed a contract with BENEBION in Mexico for the installation of a Rhodotron® TT1000 for the treatment of phytosanitary products. Research into future applications for the Rhodotron® continued with the launch of the PFAS-Blaster project in October 2024, exploring the treatment of forever chemicals in wastewater, funded by the Walloon Region and in collaboration with industry and academic partners. New research initiatives are also being explored to address other pollutants of concern, with positive data coming out of laboratory testing.

RadioPharma Solutions

There has been solid market activity globally within RadioPharma Solutions, providing support across a range of applications including oncology, cardiology and neurology. The Cyclone®KIUBE continues to be selected by customers for its efficiency and versatility, with a particularly significant strategic deal agreed with Jubilant Radiopharma in October for 5 Cyclone®KIUBE cyclotrons. These machines will support the expansion of Jubilant's positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceutical manufacturing network in the United States.

In parallel to the traditional diagnostic market, the field of radiotheranostics holds enormous potential for the future of cancer treatment and IBA is positioning itself in the production of two of the most investigated radioisotopes, Actinium-225 and Astatine-211.

Alongside its Actinium-225 Joint Venture PanTera, IBA is expanding its strategic positioning in the targeted alpha therapies market, with a focus on Astatine-211. In October, the European Commission approved the Accelerate.EU project, led by IBA and the Jules Bordet Institute, which will support the development of a value chain for the production and clinical application of this radioisotope. Under this project, IBA will develop and contribute a new alpha- beam cyclotron, optimized for the large-scale production of Astatine-211.

Post period end, IBA announced the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding with Framatome for the development of an Astatine-211 cyclotron network across Europe and the United States, starting with a first pilot plan facility in the Pays de la Loire region in France by 2028.

D – New ventures

PanTera

In September, Joint Venture PanTera secured €93 million in an oversubscribed Series A round to accelerate global Actinium-225 production, valuing the company at approximately €280 million post money, with IBA retaining a 40% share at the end of the year and ultimately a 31% share.

Press release | 20/03/2025

Under its partnership with TerraPower Isotopes, Pantera plans to start the production of smaller quantities of Actinium-225 to support clinical research in the first half of 2025. It has signed several capacity reservation agreements with large pharmaceuticals companies, including Bayer, for the early supply of Actinium-225. Construction of a large-scale production facility is on track to start by the end of the year. This would incorporate PanTera's proprietary photonuclear production process and an IBA Rhodotron® accelerator.

mi2-factory

Post period end, IBA announced a joint strategic investment with Wallonie Entreprendre International to secure 15% each in mi2-factory, a German start-up active in the field of power semiconductor chips.

Press release | 20/03/2025

II – Group financial review

A – P&L

Return to profitability with €17.3 million REBIT and €9.3 million net profit

Group sales for 2024 were €498.2 million, up 7% from 2023 (FY 2023: €466.7 million), driven by strong backlog conversion across all businesses.

Gross profit margin reached 33.3%, improving from 28.8% in 2023. This largely resulted from a favorable product mix (increased share of Other Accelerators), Proton Therapy margin improvement and a one-off positive impact related to the termination of a contract (€4.8 million).

Operating expenses were €148.7 million, up 16% versus previous year (FY 2023: €128 million), with the increase in S&M and R&D driven by the higher level of investment in the future growth of the business. G&A was negatively impacted by bad debts in Other Accelerators and Proton Therapy.

As a result of the above, recurring operating profit before interest and taxes (REBIT) for the period was €17.3 million (FY 2023: €6.4 million and FY 2022: €11.1 million).

Other operating income of €2.3 million resulted from the revaluation of PanTera's stake following the financing rounds that took place in 2024, partially compensated by investments in ERP upgrade, and IBA organization transformation one-off costs. The contribution of PanTera in the consolidated result (equity method) is €(2.1) million (FY 2023: €(0.2) million) as the company continues its R&D efforts. Revenues will start being generated from 2025 with the first production of more limited quantities of Actinium-225 thanks to the partnership with TerraPower Isotopes.

Net financial expenses of €2.7 million (FY 2023: €5.2 million) were mostly driven by hyper-inflation in Argentina (similar impact as 2023), interest expenses on debt and FX impacts (US dollar, Chinese yuan), partially offset by interest income on customer loans and bank deposits.

IBA had a current tax charge of €5.6 million for 2024 (FY 2023: €8.8 million), including some oneoff withholding taxes. The net deferred tax position of the Group did not change significantly in 2024. Deferred tax assets recognized in the past on carried forward losses in Belgium and in Germany were kept at the 2023 levels of €13 million.

This resulted in a net profit of €9.3 million (FY 2023: net loss of 9.1 million).

Press release | 20/03/2025

B – Cash flow

Operating cash flow used in operations was €10.6 million (2023: €19.8 million), as improved profitability continued to be offset by negative working capital movements (€25.5 million), related to the increase in inventories and contracts in progress for yet to be delivered projects. This includes the ten Proteus®ONE systems in Spain, which have planned, but out-of-normal-schedule payment terms. Working capital is expected to normalize over the course of 2026-2027.

Cash flow used in investing activities remained consistent at €13.8 million (2023: €13.3 million). Investments include the acquisition of California-based Radcal Corporation to further strengthen IBA Dosimetry's medical imaging Quality Assurance offering and its presence in the US as well as IBA's participation to PanTera's financing rounds in 2024 (under equity-accounted investments).

Cash flow used in financing activities decreased to €12.2 million (2023: €14.4 million), including debt repayments (€10.8 million), as well as the payment of the dividend on 2023 results (€4.9 million).

C – Balance sheet

The balance sheet remains solid, with a gross cash position of €72.2 million and €33.5 million in net cash (vs. €21.7 million in June 2024). In addition, IBA had €60 million undrawn short-term credit lines available at period end, further supporting the Group's liquidity position.

D – Dividend

The Board of Directors intends to recommend to the Annual General Meeting to be held on June 11th 2025 that a gross dividend of €0.24 per share be paid out in 2025.

If approved, the annual bonus paid out to employees will be matched at the same level, as part of the Company's initiative to share the value created with its stakeholders equitably.

III – Group transformation and updated organization of Business Units

As communicated throughout the year, IBA has adapted its organizational structure and redeployed its leadership to enhance execution, ensuring a stronger focus in a context where all IBA activities are experiencing relevant and meaningful growth opportunities. This new organization enhances focus and accountability of the teams, enabling IBA to more effectively meet market demands, comply with regulatory requirements, and manage operational needs.

IBA is now organized into three main Entities:

IBA Clinical: comprising the Proton Therapy and Dosimetry Business Units; led by CEO Olivier Legrain.
IBA Technologies: comprising the RadioPharma Solutions and Industrial Solutions Business Units, as well as Engineering & Supply Chain; led by Deputy CEO Henri de Romrée.
IBA Corporate dealing with IBA investments (New ventures) and acting as a support center for the Group, led by Deputy CEO Henri de Romrée.

IBA Clinical and IBA Technologies are dedicated to their specific markets, regulations and operations, providing them with the autonomy they need to better serve their customers and seize new opportunities.

IBA Corporate handles the costs of IBA as a holding company, i.e. not directly linked to business units support. Additionally, P&L from corporate ventures (where IBA holds a minority stake), such as PanTera, mi2-factory, Normandy HadronTherapy is allocated to this entity.

As of 2025, this will lead to changes in IBA's financial reporting approach. These changes include:

Creation of three reporting segments: IBA Clinical, IBA Technologies and IBA Corporate
Further allocation of costs directly to the respective entities and more customized allocation for remaining shared costs to better reflect actual resource consumption, based on FTE and equipment COGS per Business Unit
Accounting for Engineering & Supply Chain goods and services provided by IBA Technologies to the Proton Therapy Business Unit's activities

Appendix

Reassessment of revenue recognition of third-party equipment under IFRS15 (Agent vs. Principal treatment)

IBA, alongside its auditor, has re-assessed the application of the IFRS15 rule for revenue recognition related to third-party equipment integrated within IBA's contracts. This reassessment is particularly relevant to the following:

Proton Therapy: OIS/TPS software
Industrial Solutions: conveyors sold as part of integrated solutions
RadioPharma Solutions: third-party equipment within IntegraLab® turnkey solutions

Following this review, it has been concluded that given the substantial level of integration between these third-party components and IBA's proprietary solutions, IBA assumes control over these assets before transferring them to customers. As a result, IBA will now be classified as a Principal under IFRS15, rather than an Agent.

Financial impact

From an accounting perspective, this change results in revenue being recognized at the full sales price (and cost of goods sold, "COGS") of third-party equipment, rather than only the integration margin. This leads to two key financial impacts:

Increase of the reported Revenues and COGS
Decrease of gross margin while absolute gross profit remains the same. The same applies to REBIT and net profit.

Illustrative example:

Accounting treatment of a €10,000 third-party equipment sale, at a 20% gross margin:

	Previous Treatment IBA as Agent	New treatment IBA as Principal	Impact
Net sales	2 ,000	10 ,000	+8 ,000
Cost of Goods Sold	0	8 ,000	+8 ,000
Gross profit	2 ,000	2 ,000	0
Gross margin	100%	20%

Overall, this adjustment ensures that IBA's revenue recognition accurately reflects the nature of its contracts, providing a clear view of the company's role in delivering integrated solutions. Since Other Accelerators typically include a larger proportion of third-party equipment than Proton Therapy, this change will more largely impact the former.

Press release | 20/03/2025

Following this re-assessment, IBA and its auditors have decided to amend the accounting methodology from FY24 onwards and restate FY23 numbers to reflect the change.

FY2024 – IBA Group
