President and CEO comments

Strong order bookings

Overall market development continues to be good and we are very pleased with our order booking trend. Order bookings rose 15* percent in the third quarter, and 8* percent during the first nine months. In North and South America, order bookings rose 40* percent in the quarter. In the US, we see a consolidation of private cancer care with a market that is moving toward more long-term strategic partnerships and larger orders. The strong growth in Europe, Middle East and Africa continued, with order bookings rising 15* percent in the quarter. Our growth in China continued, with order bookings growth during the quarter exceeding the market average. In Asia Pacific, as a whole, quarterly order bookings declined 9* percent in relation to high order bookings last year. Weak currencies in some emerging markets have also affected order growth due to delayed investments.

Weak deliveries in the third quarter affected EBITA

Net sales rose 1* percent during the third quarter and 7* percent during the first nine months. Our third quarter was significantly impacted by lower-than-expected delivery volumes of Leksell Gamma Knife®, primarily in North and South America and Asia Pacific. In addition, weaker currencies, particularly in some emerging markets, have affected volumes. EBITA before non-recurring items for the third quarter amounted to 340 (454) and to SEK 895 M (1,053) for the first nine months. Currency effects in the period amounted to SEK -140 M.

We are not satisfied with our third quarter results and particular not with our Leksell Gamma Knife® business. We have analyzed the prospects for the full year and initiated a number of corrective actions to ensure improved performance. Our long term prospects remains and we are confident that Leksell Gamma Knife® will be back on track with volumes starting to recover in the fourth quarter. At the same time we continue to invest in product development to further enhance our offering.

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 153 M (258); cash flow after continuous investments was SEK -27 M in the third quarter. Compared with the second quarter, we have increased inventory by some SEK 250 M ahead of planned deliveries in the fourth quarter. We expect a strong cash flow in the fourth quarter.

Favorable trend for Versa HD

Our most advanced linear accelerator, Versa HD™, was launched one year ago. Sales has exceeded our expectations and Versa HD™ now accounts for over 60 percent of our system sales in applicable markets in the US and Europe.

Strategic partnerships for better cancer care

During the quarter, we secured a long-term partnership agreement with a US health network, McLaren Health Care. This type of comprehensive partnership will become increasingly important in our business. In addition to our leading hardware and software solutions, we will support and facilitate the development of more efficient and higher quality cancer care throughout McLaren's network.

Adjusted outlook for the year

Lower-than-expected volumes of Leksell Gamma Knife® and delays in expected deliveries to emerging markets have led to a revised outlook for the full-year. Net sales growth has been adjusted from more than 10 percent to approximately 7 percent in local currency, and EBITA is expected to grow by approximately 3 percent in local currency, adjusted from 10 percent.

Our long-term strategy and objectives remain unchanged, as does the continued growing need and demand for Elekta's superior clinical solutions. Based on the company's unique market position, we will continue to pursue our commitment to the development of modern cancer care.

Market development

North and South America

Order bookings rose 3 percent during the period, and 8 percent based on constant exchange rates. In the third quarter order bookings increased 40 percent based on constant exchange rates.

The North American market was robust and Elekta's order bookings were strong in the quarter with several large orders being won. Hospital consolidation continues in the health care industry across the US and is driving the market toward larger orders and more comprehensive solutions. Elekta's oncology treatment and management solutions support the demand for higher clinical efficiency and productivity across large integrated health care systems. 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.

Demand for Versa HD™ was strong and exceeded expectations. Versa HD™ accounted for 80 percent of Elekta's linear accelerators sold in the US during the third quarter. Volumes of Leksell Gamma Knife® were lower than anticipated but will to start to recover in the fourth quarter.

Market development in Latin America was weak. Following the major procurement process in Brazil last autumn volumes to the public sector have been limited. The private sector was impacted by a weaker currency, which resulted in delayed orders and deliveries. The long-term growth outlook remains positive and demand is expected to be driven by the shortage of treatment capacity combined with a need for improved solutions for cancer care.

The contribution margin for the region was 30 percent (33). The decline is mainly attributable to product mix and lower net sales.

Europe, Middle East and Africa

Order bookings rose 21 percent during the period, and 22 percent based on constant exchange rates. In the third quarter order bookings increased 15 percent based on constant exchange rates.

Markets in Europe developed very well. Elekta's growth was strong during the period, particularly in Southern and Central Europe. 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 and Africa also showed strengthened growth. A structural expansion of radiation therapy capacity is taking place in emerging markets; examples of this are major orders that Elekta secured in Algeria and Iraq during the nine-month period.

Sales of Versa HD™ performed strongly in the third quarter and accounted for 40 percent of Elekta's linear accelerators sold on applicable markets in the region.

The contribution margin for the region amounted to 33 percent (32). The increase is attributable to higher net sales.

Asia Pacific

Order bookings declined 13 percent during the period, and 3 percent based on constant exchange rates. In the third quarter order bookings decreased 9 percent based on constant exchange rates.

Conditions in the Asian markets were mixed. Elekta is the market leader in China, where the company's performance was good. A tender valued at USD 28 M was awarded from the People's Liberation Army during the quarter. For the remainder of the year the outlook for China is favorable.

Demand in Japan primarily comprises replacement investments as older linear accelerators are gradually replaced. The market is essentially unchanged, although Elekta has reported growth. Only 25-30 percent of cancer patients in Japan receive radiation therapy, compared with more than 60 percent in the US. There are favorable long-term prospects for a growing proportion of radiation therapy in cancer care.

Sales in India was weak, a result of private care providers postponing investments due to the weak currency. Versa HD™ has not yet received full regulatory approvals in China and Japan, but the interest from customers is strong. Approval in China and Japan is expected later in 2014. In the third quarter, volumes of Leksell Gamma Knife® were low in the region.

A continued focus on improving cancer care in the region provides good prospects for achieving long-term growth.

The contribution margin for the region was 22 percent (30). The decline is attributable to currency effects and product mix.

Net sales

Net sales increased 2 percent to SEK 6,740 M (6,608), and 7 percent based on constant exchange rates. In the third quarter net sales increased 1 percent based on constant exchange rates. In Europe, Middle East and Africa, net sales grew with 18 percent, based on constant exchange rates and in Asia Pacific the growth was 8 percent. North and South America reported a decline of 4 percent, related to low deliveries of Leksell Gamma Knife® and weak performance in South America.

The effect is related to the Elekta 2012/17 convertible bond.

Outlook for fiscal year 2013/14

Due to lower-than-expected delivery volumes of Leksell Gamma Knife® and delays in expected deliveries to emerging markets, the outlook for the full-year has been revised.

  • In fiscal year 2013/14, net sales is expected to grow by approximately 7 percent in local currency compared to last year.
  • EBITA is expected to grow by approximately 3 percent in local currency compared with last year. Exchange rate movements are expected to have a negative impact of about approximately 5 percentage points on EBITA growth.

The prior outlook, published in the Q2 report, expected net sales to grow by more than 10 percent in local currency. EBITA was expected to grow by approximately 10 percent in local currency. Exchange rate movements were expected to have a negative impact of approximately 5 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.

The above information is such that Elekta AB (publ) shall make public in accordance with the Securities Market Act and/or the Financial Instruments Trading Act. The information was published at 07:30 CET on February 27, 2014.

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.
