President and CEO comments

I am very pleased and extremely proud of Elekta's performance in the 2012/13 fiscal year. We surpassed all financial objectives. Order bookings for the fourth quarter rose 15* percent and the full-year increase was 14* percent. Our assessment is that we will continue to grow faster than the market in general.

Elekta's performance in the Asia Pacific region was excellent and we strengthened our position as the market leader. Several countries in the region have taken a major step forward in the structural and long-term expansion of cancer care.

Order bookings in Europe were strong and entirely in line with our expectations. The demand scenario is favorable in most parts of Europe where Elekta continues to offer solutions for qualitative and costefficient cancer care for growing numbers of patients. It was also gratifying to note stronger sales in the Middle East during the fourth quarter.

In North America, Elekta's sales activities gradually strengthened during the latter part of the fiscal year and Elekta's order bookings and sales were strong in the fourth quarter. However, the general market in the US has been affected by uncertainty regarding reimbursement levels for radiation therapy and the outcome of health care reform.

We launched the new linear accelerator, Versa HDTM, during the fourth quarter. This system has a unique combination of high dose rates, good resolution, speed and low radiation leakage, all key elements for improving cancer care. Since the launch we have sold 30 systems and the first patients have already undergone treatment using Versa HDTM.

The fourth quarter broke all records in terms of deliveries and net sales grew with 25* percent. For the full-year, growth of net sales was 16* percent. Operating result rose 17* percent for the full year. This increase is related to the higher sales volumes. Exchange-rate effects impacted growth in operating profit by 5 percentage points.

Elekta sees considerable potential for continued growth, primarily through expansion in emerging markets, but also by strengthening our position in established markets. As we look forward to the coming year, we predict that the favorable market demand, in general, will continue. We also expect to see a strong performance in emerging markets.

We are the pioneer and inventor within several areas of modern cancer care and treatment of neurological disorders. This includes stereotactic radiosurgery, stereotactic radiotherapy, image guided radiotherapy and brachytherapy. To further strengthen our leadership we will increase our investments in research and development, for the coming year by more than 20 percent. We have an extensive product development program focusing on, for instance, integrated software solutions, brachytherapy and image guided radiation therapy. The project which aims to enable treatment combined with advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is progressing well. Together with the members of the research consortium we look forward to intensify this effort.

Cash flow after continuous investments was strong and amounted to SEK 1,292 M (503) for the year. We achieved a cash conversion of 76 percent, which is well above our target for the year.

Elekta has reached a leading market position, good cash generation and a strong balance sheet. Based on that, the Board proposes to increase the ordinary dividend to SEK 1.50 (1.25) per share. In addition, the Board proposes a three-year program with extraordinary dividend to the shareholders amounting to SEK 0.50 per share and year.

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 and EBITA is expected to grow by approximately 10 percent in local currency. Compared with the 2012/13 fiscal year, exchange-rate fluctuations are expected to have a negative impact of about 3 percentage points on the EBITA growth.

Market development

North and South America

Order bookings rose 10 percent. Based on unchanged exchange rates, order bookings rose 9 percent.

In the US, Elekta's order bookings and sales have gradually strengthened during the latter part of the fiscal year and growth was strong in the fourth quarter. The general market in the US has been affected by uncertainty regarding reimbursement levels for radiation therapy and the outcome of health care reform. Demand for Elekta's cancer treatment solutions was strong in Canada. The underlying growth in demand in the region is expected to continue, mainly due to a growing and aging population.

As with other emerging markets, the South American market is driven by a substantial shortage of treatment capacity and focus on improving cancer care. Combined with Elekta's increasing presence in selected countries, this level of progress supports the company's growth prospects on this continent. An extensive procurement program of radiation treatment equipment is currently taking place in Brazil, which has impacted other levels of activity in the country.

The contribution margin for the region was 35 percent (37).

Region Europe, Middle East and Africa

Order bookings rose 6 percent. Based on unchanged exchange rates, order bookings rose 10 percent.

The market trend in Europe has been positive. Elekta achieved a particular strong growth in UK, Germany and Russia. Demand is driven by investments in new radiation treatment capacity as well as by replacement of existing installed base of linear accelerators. In the fourth quarter, improvements were noted in the Middle East region.

The contribution margin for the region was 36 percent (35).

Region Asia Pacific

The trend was strong as order bookings rose 22 percent. Based on unchanged exchange rates, order bookings rose 23 percent.

Elekta is the market leader in the region. China, India and other high growth markets accounted for a substantial share of Elekta's growth during the year. 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 year. Elekta has a strong presence in neurosurgery and software, and is well positioned to further increase its market share in oncology.

The contribution margin for the region was 32 percent (32).

Net sales

Net sales increased 14 percent to SEK 10,339 M (9,048). Based on constant exchange rates, net sales grew by 16 percent. In the fourth quarter, deliveries were strong and net sales increased by 20 percent to SEK 3,731 M (3,119). Based on constant exchange rates, net sales grew by 25 percent in the fourth quarter.

Earnings

Operating result excluding non-recurring items increased 12 percent to SEK 2,058 M (1,837). The effect from changes in exchange rates was negative by approximately SEK 90 M, including hedges. Operating margin, excluding non-recurring items amounted to 20 percent (20). Gross margin was 46 percent (47). The lower gross margin is mainly related to currency and geographical mix. Selling and administrative expenses in relation to net sales decreased by 0.7 percentage points to 19.6 percent. This is related to increased efficiency.

Research and development expenditures, before capitalization of development costs, increased to SEK 894 M (778) equal to 9 percent (9) of net sales.

During the fourth quarter operating profit excluding non-recurring items increased 36 percent to SEK 1,185 M (870). Operating margin excluding non-recurring items amounted to 32 percent (28)

The change in unrealized exchange rate effects from cash flow hedges amounted to SEK 34 M (-94) and is reported in other comprehensive income. Closing balance of unrealized exchange rate effects from cash flow hedges in shareholders' equity was SEK 68 M (34) exclusive of tax.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -212 M (-141). Financial net was negatively affected by participations in associates due to start-up costs in one of the associates.

Elekta's ongoing incentive programs have affected the operating result by SEK 21 M (-35). The 2010/13 performance share plan did not meet the EPS target for payout.

Income before tax amounted to SEK 1,800 M (1,708). Tax expense amounted to SEK -449 M (480) or 25 percent (28). Net income amounted to SEK 1,351 M (1,228).

Capitalization of development costs and amortization of capitalized development costs amounted to net SEK 211 M (201), of which 179 M (174) relates to the R&D function. Capitalization within the R&D function amounted to SEK 286 M (246) and amortization to SEK 107 M (72).

Liquidity and financial position

For the year as well as the fourth quarter cash flow was strong due to high earnings growth and a broadly unchanged working capital, resulting in a lower working capital to net sales ratio. Cash conversion was 76 percent. Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 1,870 M (935). Cash flow after continuous investments was 1,292 M (503) and cash flow after investments, which includes acquisitions, amounted to SEK 1,208 M (-2,663).

The balance sheet has been affected by changes in exchange rates. Important foreign currencies used for translation of the balance sheet have decreased in value during the year. The exchange rate effect from the translation of cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK -156 M (31). The translation difference in long-term interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK -52 M (233). Shareholder's equity has been affected by exchange rate differences amounting to SEK -353 M (180).

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 2,567 M (1,895) and interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 4,552 M (4,530). Thus, net debt amounted to SEK 1,985 M (2,635). Net debt/equity ratio was 0.36 (0.53).

Compared with the 2012/13 fiscal year, exchange-rate fluctuations are expected to have a negative impact of about 3 percentage points on the 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 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 and pay within the agreed timeframe. Failure to do so can result in delayed deliveries and corresponding delayed 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 2011/12.
