President and CEO comments

During the first quarter, demand in Elekta's markets developed in line with expectations. Region Europe, the Middle East and Africa performed favorably and order bookings rose 18* percent. The increase was particularly strong in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. In Asia, we noted continued good growth, for instance in China and Japan. Order bookings rose 8* percent in the region. In North and South America, order bookings for the quarter declined, but this should be viewed in light of the very sharp increase noted in the corresponding quarter of the preceding year. The market fundamentals are unchanged and good in all our markets. In addition, we expect large orders to contribute to order bookings this year. However, no major order was booked in the first quarter.

Our new Versa HDTM linear accelerator has been on the market for six months now and interest from our customers has exceeded expectations. A number of systems are already in clinical operation. Versa HDTM features a unique combination of high dose rates, exceptional resolution, speed and low radiation leakage, all key elements for improving cancer care.

Deliveries in the first quarter were strong and net sales rose 21* percent. EBITA, before non-recurring items, amounted to SEK 148 M (131). The increase in earnings is mainly related to higher sales volumes. Exchange-rate effects had a substantial negative effect and amounted to about SEK -65 M. The Japanese yen, US dollar and Australian dollar accounted for the majority of the negative effect.

Cash flow after continuous investments was SEK -584 M (-175) in the quarter. The cash flow was mainly affected by seasonal factors such as a high proportion of the annual tax payments and an increase in operational working capital. Following the seasonal pattern we expect a significantly stronger cash flow for the remainder of the year.

Elekta is the pioneer in modern cancer care and treatment of neurological disorders and, in order to further strengthen our leading position, we will continue to increase investments in research and development; this year by more than 20 percent. We have a comprehensive product development program in such areas as software solutions, brachytherapy and image-guided radiation therapy. We are looking forward to the ASTRO meeting at the end of September, where we plan to exhibit new products in the portfolio and also highlight our training and education initiatives. The project aimed at enabling treatment combined with advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is progressing well and, during the quarter, we announced a fifth member of the clinical development consortium, Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin Clinical Cancer Center.

Elekta sees considerable potential for continued growth, primarily through expansion in emerging markets, but also by improving our market position in established markets. Exchange rate movements compared to fiscal year 2012/13 are expected to have a negative impact of about five percentage points on EBITA growth.

The outlook in local currency is unchanged. In fiscal year 2013/14, net sales are expected to grow by more than 10 percent in local currency. Most of the growth is expected to come from emerging markets. Investments in product development will increase by more than 20 percent and EBITA is expected to grow by approximately 10 percent in local currency.

Order bookings and order backlog

Order bookings decreased 10 percent to SEK 2,027 M (2,252) and decreased 2 percent based on constant exchange rates. Based on constant exchange rates the regions Europe, Middle East and Africa and Asia Pacific contributed to increased order bookings. In the region North and South America order bookings decreased.

Order backlog was SEK 12,013 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 July 31, 2013 compared to exchange rates on April 30, 2013 resulted in a negative translation difference of SEK 65 M.

Market development

North and South America

Order bookings decreased 30 percent. Based on unchanged exchange rates order bookings decreased by 26 percent. The contribution margin for the region was 34 percent (31).

In the North and South America region, order bookings for the quarter declined, but this should be viewed in light of the very sharp increase of 28 percent noted in the corresponding quarter of the preceding year. The US market has been affected by uncertainty regarding reimbursement levels for radiation therapy and healthcare reforms. Proposals for new reimbursement levels were announced in July and indicate a general increase. The trend for reimbursement to the hospital segment has been positive for some years. This has resulted in a growing share of larger orders in the market. For treatment with Leksell Gamma Knife®, an increase in reimbursement from the current level has been proposed.

In Canada, demand for Elekta's solutions for cancer therapy was good. The underlying growth in demand in the region is expected to continue, primarily due to an aging and growing population.

As with other emerging markets, the South American market is driven by a substantial shortage of treatment capacity and an intensified focus on improving cancer care. When combined with Elekta's increasing presence in selected countries, this level of progress supports the Company's growth prospects on the continent. An extensive procurement program for radiation treatment equipment is currently taking place in Brazil. The process was scheduled to be completed during the summer, however it is still ongoing.

Region Europe, Middle East and Africa

Order bookings rose 14 percent. Based on unchanged exchange rates, order bookings rose 18 percent. The contribution margin for the region was 28 percent (29).

The market trend in Europe was positive. Elekta achieved good growth in established markets and it was particularly strong in Northern Europe. Development was also strong in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Demand is being driven by investments in new radiation treatment capacity as well as the replacement of the existing installed base of linear accelerators.

Region Asia Pacific

Order bookings decreased by 6 percent. Based on unchanged exchange rates, order bookings rose 8 percent. The contribution margin for the region was 21 percent (25).

Elekta is the market leader in the region and growth is high in such markets as China and India. China is now Elekta's second largest market. By maintaining a focus on growth, the company is well positioned to support care providers in these countries in their endeavor to advance and enhance cancer care.

The positive demand trend in Japan continued during the quarter. Elekta has a strong presence in neurosurgery and software in the country, and is expected to increase its market share in oncology.

Net sales

Net sales increased 13 percent to SEK 1,912 M (1,695). Based on constant exchange rates, net sales grew by 21 percent. The growth was good in all regions.

Earnings

Gross income amounted to SEK 806 M (745) representing a margin of 42 percent (44). The lower gross margin is mainly related to negative currency effects and product mix during the quarter.

EBITA before non-recurring items was 148 M (131). Operating result before non-recurring items increased 14 percent to SEK 80 M (70). Operating margin, before non-recurring items amounted to 4 percent (4). Non-recurring items amounted to SEK -34 M (-7) and mainly consist of legal costs.

Research and development expenditures, before capitalization of development costs, are increasing according to plan and amounted to SEK 286 M (217) equal to 15 percent (13) of net sales. The increase is mainly related to the MR/Linac project.

The effect from changes in exchange rates was negative by approximately SEK 65 M, including hedges. Japanese yen, US dollar and Australian dollar accounted for the majority of the negative effect.

The change in unrealized exchange rate effects from cash flow hedges amounted to SEK -35 M (12) and is reported in other comprehensive income. Closing balance of unrealized exchange rate effects from cash flow hedges in shareholders' equity was SEK 33 M (68 on April 30, 2013) exclusive of tax.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -57 M (-42). Financial net was negatively affected by participations in associates with SEK -3 M (-10).

Income before tax amounted to SEK -11 M (21). Tax amounted to SEK 3 M (-6). Net income amounted to SEK -8 M (15).

Earnings per share amounted to SEK -0.01 (0.03) before dilution and SEK -0.01 (0.03) after dilution.

Return on shareholders' equity amounted to 26 percent (27) and return on capital employed amounted to 21 percent (23).

Investments and depreciation

Continuous investments amounted to SEK 193 M (87). Amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of tangible fixed assets amounted to a total of SEK 96 M (87). Capitalization and amortization of development costs are presented in the table below. The growth in capitalization of development costs is mainly related to the MR/Linac project.

Liquidity and financial position

Cash flow after continuous investments was SEK -584 M (-175) during the quarter, which is also seasonally the weakest. The cash flow was affected by increased tax payments, SEK -194 M (-140), higher continuous investments, SEK -193 M (-87) and increased working capital, SEK -333 M (-78). Continuous investments include increased investments within R&D and establishment of new education and training centers. Following the seasonal pattern Elekta expects a significantly stronger cash flow for the remainder of the year.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 1,826 M (2,567 on April 30, 2013) and interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 4,459 M (4,552 on April 30, 2013). Thus, net debt amounted to SEK 2,633 M (1,985 on April 30, 2013). Net debt/equity ratio was 0.48 (0.36 on April 30, 2013).

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

Outlook for fiscal year 2013/14

Exchange rate movements compared to fiscal year 2012/13 are expected to have a negative impact of about 5 percentage points on EBITA growth (changed from about 3 percentage points).

The outlook in local currency is unchanged. In fiscal year 2013/14, net sales are expected to grow by more than 10 percent in local currency. The majority of the growth is expected to come from emerging markets. Investments in product development will increase by more than 20 percent during the year and EBITA is expected to grow by approximately 10 percent in local currency.

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 knowhow, 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.
