President and CEO comments

I am very pleased with Elekta's performance during the third quarter. Sales were strong and order bookings rose 11* percent, excluding Nucletron.

In North America, we secured substantial orders from leading hospitals and order bookings rose 14* percent in the first nine months, excluding Nucletron. The trend was strong in the northern regions of Europe and the Middle East, while southern regions of Europe and Latin America experienced a weaker trend. In the Asia Pacific region, the third quarter is generally the weakest in seasonal terms, although we expect that the underlying demand remains strong.

Net sales rose 17* percent during the third quarter, excluding Nucletron. Operating profit was strong and amounted to SEK 623 M during the quarter, before non-recurring items, and the operating margin strengthened to 24 percent, compared with 16 percent in the same period last year.

The integration of Nucletron is proceeding as planned. Nucletron has contributed to net sales with SEK 618 M and to operating profit with SEK 175 M, excluding non-recurring costs, since being consolidated on September 15, 2011. Organic net sales growth in Nucletron amounted to 11 percent during the last twelve months.

Elekta's operations within magnetoencephalography (MEG) have not fully measured up to its financial objectives, thus leading us to initiate a strategic review. Net sales for MEG amounted to about SEK 74 M for the first nine months with a negative result.

Demand in Elekta's markets is expected to remain strong and the order backlog is at a record level of more than SEK 10 bn. Based on the scheduled deliveries for the fourth quarter, we reiterate our outlook for the operating profit for the fiscal year 2011/12 of an increase of more than 20 percent in SEK. Currencies are expected to have a negative impact on earnings of about SEK 100 M, including the impact of currency hedging.

The net sales outlook is adjusted from an increase of more than 20 percent to an increase of 16-18 percent in local currency. The adjustment is a result of postponement of deliveries to Latin America, a weaker trend in southern Europe and lower-than-expected sales in the MEG area. The acquisition of Nucletron is expected to contribute with about 10 percentage points to the increase in net sales and operating profit.

Elekta sees significant potential for further growth both through expansion in emerging markets and through improved market positions in established markets. To strengthen Elekta's financial and strategic flexibility and increase the diversification of financing instruments and lower reliance on bank debt, the Board of Directors of Elekta has decided to pursue an issue of convertible bonds, with preferential rights for Elekta's shareholders, of approximately SEK 1.9 bn. The decision is subject to approval by an Extraordinary General Meeting.

We believe that the recent debt crisis has only had a marginal impact on market conditions in general. Life-saving treatment such as cancer care will remain a prioritized area for healthcare investments and for care providers.

Order bookings and order backlog

Order bookings increased 19 percent to SEK 7,186 M (6,041). Order bookings increased 9 percent excluding Nucletron and based on unchanged exchange rates. Order bookings during the second quarter amounted to SEK 2,784 M (1,914).

Order backlog was SEK 10,059 M, compared to SEK 8,147 M on April 30, 2011. Order backlog is converted at closing exchange rates. The translation of the backlog at exchange rates on January 31, 2012 compared to exchange rates on April 30, 2011 resulted in a positive translation difference of SEK 662 M.

Market development

Region North and South America

Order bookings continued to trend positively and increased by 1 percent in the quarter and by 6 percent for the first nine months, excluding Nucletron and based on unchanged exchange rates.

In the North American market, demand strengthened for radiotherapy solutions. This was primarily attributable to a rising incidence of cancer in a growing and aging population, as well as the need for investments to steadily replace the large installed base of linear accelerators. Elekta's North American order bookings rose 14 percent during the quarter and for the first nine months, excluding Nucletron and based on unchanged exchange rates. Elekta is the second-largest player in the North American market and is deemed to be growing faster than the market as a whole.

Like other developing markets, the South American market is driven by substantial capacity shortages and an increased focus on improving cancer care. Elekta sees major potential in Brazil. When combined with Elekta's increasing presence in selected countries, this level of progress supports the company's growth prospects on the continent.

The contribution margin for the region was 35 percent (33) during the first nine months of the year.

Region Europe, Middle East and Africa

Order bookings increased by 34 percent during the quarter and by 11 percent for the first nine months, excluding Nucletron and based on unchanged exchange rates.

As expected, order bookings were highest in the major markets where capacity is being expanded to a certain degree, although orders are primarily related to replacement investments. The trend was strong in the northern regions of Europe, including countries as Germany and the Netherlands, and the Middle East, while the southern regions of Europe and the North African countries experienced a weaker trend.

Emerging markets generally face a growing cancer incidence and insufficient capacity of linear accelerators. During the quarter, Elekta received significant orders from Russia.

The long-term, sustainable growth trend in the region is expected to continue, particularly as a result of stronger growth markets in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, which is in line with Elekta's long-term growth strategy focusing on emerging markets.

The contribution margin for the region was 33 percent (30) during the first nine months.

Region Asia Pacific

The third quarter is seasonally the weakest in the region. Order bookings decreased by 4 percent during the quarter but increased by 12 percent for the first nine months, excluding Nucletron and based on unchanged exchange rates.

In general, the region is characterized by major capacity shortages, although countries including Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore have highly developed healthcare systems. Accordingly, a large percentage of healthcare investments are made in new installations. Elekta's prominence in the region, combined with its focus on growth, place the company in a strong position to support care providers in these countries as they attempt to upgrade and improve cancer care.

Elekta is a leader in the Chinese market for advanced radiation therapy and expects continued investment growth in this country.

While the demand trend in Japan remains modest, a slight improvement was noted in the third quarter. Elekta has a strong presence in neurosurgery and software and is wellpositioned to bolster its market share in oncology. In Japan only 25-30 percent of cancer patients receive radiation therapy, compared with more than 50 percent in Europe.

The contribution margin for the region was 30 percent (31) during the first nine months of the year.

Net sales

Net sales increased 11 percent to SEK 5,929 M (5,328). Based on unchanged exchange rates, net sales increased 5 percent excluding Nucletron.

Earnings

Operating result before non-recurring items increased 29 percent to SEK 967 M (751). The effect from changes in exchange rates was SEK -30 M. Gross margin amounted to 46 percent (45). Operating margin amounted to 18 percent (14).

Non-recurring items comprise transaction costs and restructuring costs related to the acquisition of Nucletron of SEK -76 M (0) and net gain from the divestment of the pathology business of SEK 183 M (0).

Research and development expenditures, before capitalization of development costs, increased to SEK 559 M (476) equal to 9 percent (9) of net sales.

Costs for Elekta's ongoing incentive programs amounted to SEK 20 M (36).

The change in unrealized exchange rate effects from cash flow hedges amounted to SEK -125 M (44) and is reported in other comprehensive income. Closing balance of unrealized exchange rate effects from cash flow hedges in shareholders' equity was SEK 3 M (128 on April 30, 2011) exclusive of tax.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -104 M (-37). The change over last year is mainly due to the financing of the acquisition of Nucletron.

Income before tax amounted to SEK 970 M (714). Tax expense amounted to SEK 283 M (214) or 29 percent (30). Net income amounted to SEK 687 M (500).

Earnings per share amounted to SEK 7.31 (5.37) before dilution and SEK 7.23 (5.30) after dilution.

Return on shareholders' equity amounted to 32 percent (30) and return on capital employed amounted to 27 percent (34).

Investments and depreciation

Investments in intangible and tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 309 M (193). Amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 213 M (182). Capitalization of development costs and amortization of capitalized development costs amounted to net SEK 139 M (58), of which 116 M (63) relates to the R&D function. Capitalization within the R&D function amounted to SEK 170 M (109) and amortization to SEK 54 M (46).

Liquidity and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 476 M (460). Cash flow after investments amounted to SEK -2,795 M (142), including business combinations, business divestment and investment in associate of net SEK -3,167 M (-255). Cash conversion was 48 percent (58). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 665 M (1,363 on April 30, 2011) and interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 3,541 M (881 on April 30, 2011). Thus, net debt amounted to SEK 2,875 M (net cash 482 on April 30, 2011). Net debt/equity ratio was 0.67 (-0.13 on April 30, 2011).

Shares

During the period 563,893 new Series B shares were subscribed through exercise of warrants distributed within the framework of the established option programs. Total number of registered shares on January 31, 2012 was 94,803,562 divided between 3,562,500 Ashares and 91,241,062 B-shares.

Employees

The average number of employees was 3,225 (2,612). The average number of employees in the Parent Company was 20 (22).

The number of employees on January 31, 2012 totaled 3,363 whereof Nucletron had 544. On April 30, 2011, the number of employees in Elekta totaled 2,760.

Risks and uncertainties

A weak economic development and high levels of public debt might, for some markets, mean less availability of financing for private customers and reduced future health care spending by the governments.

Elekta's ability to deliver treatment equipment is to a large extent dependent on customers' readiness to receive the delivery and to pay within the agreed timeframe. This results in a risk of 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. The recent financial debt crisis in Europe is assessed as only having had a marginal impact on market conditions so far.

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.

Product safety issues and the regulatory approval processes in various countries constitute a risk since they could delay the ability of introducing products into the countries concerned.

A description of the generic risks and uncertainties in Elekta's business can be found in the Annual Report 2010/11 on page 63 and in note 2.

Acquisition of Nucletron

On September 15, 2011, Elekta acquired 100 percent of the shares as well as votes in Nucletron (New Nucletron Company B.V.), with registered office in Veenendaal, the Netherlands. Nucletron is world leading in brachytherapy, treatment planning and delivery. The acquisition cost amounted to EUR 373 M. Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets amount to EUR 387 M according to a preliminary purchase price allocation. Elekta has consolidated Nucletron from September 15, 2011. From the date of acquisition Nucletron has contributed with order bookings of SEK 909 M, net sales of SEK 618 M and operating result of SEK 175 M. Transaction costs related to the acquisition have been expensed when incurred and amount to approximately SEK 40 M. Restructuring costs are expected to amount to SEK 130 M of which SEK 36 M have been expensed in the post-acquisition period. Elekta expects the integrated businesses to generate both revenue and cost synergies. Annual cost synergies have been estimated to approximately SEK 75 M and are expected to be realized in fiscal year 2012/13. Synergy effects in fiscal year 2011/12 are expected to be limited.

Divestment of the pathology business

On September 30, 2011, Elekta divested its Anatomic Pathology Information System business, marketed under the brand name PowerPath®. The consideration amounted to USD 30.5 M, through an asset deal on a cash and debt-free basis. The buyer was Sunquest Information Systems, Inc., a U.S. based company providing closely related diagnostic IT solutions. During fiscal year 2010/11 the Pathology Information System generated revenues of approximately SEK 80 M and EBIT of SEK 19 M with 44 employees in the U.S. The capital gain amounted to SEK 183 M before tax based on current exchange rate and is expected to add approximately SEK 1.10 to earnings per share in the fiscal year 2011/12.

Other significant events during the period

On May 5, 2011, Elekta strengthened its long term loan financing by entering into a private placement agreement with U.S. institutional investors. The transaction amount was USD 200 million with tenors between seven and twelve years.

On July 8, 2011, Elekta extended its financing through a revolving credit facility of SEK 1,000 M. The tenor is one year with an option to prolong for another year.

On November 8, 2011, Elekta signed a three-year loan agreement of SEK 400 M with AB Svensk Exportkredit, to further strengthen Elekta's funding through diversification and to have a longer maturity profile.

Significant events after the balance sheet date

Issue of convertible bonds with preferential rights for Elekta's shareholders1 The Board of Directors of Elekta has on March 2, 2012 decided to pursue an issue of convertible bonds, with preferential rights for the company's shareholders, of approximately SEK 1.9 bn, subject to approval by an Extraordinary General Meeting on April 2, 2012.

Elekta sees significant potential for further growth both through expansion in emerging markets and through improved market positions in established markets.

In order to capture these opportunities, continued value creating investment in R&D and in an expanded sales and service organization in new and established markets is required. A growing presence in emerging markets is also expected to lead to an increased need for working capital due to longer lead times from shipment to installation in these markets. In addition, Elekta continually evaluates potential acquisition targets.

Given these attractive growth opportunities in the market, and due to the volatile financial markets, Elekta has concluded that a strong financial position and a reduction in the dependence on short term bank financing would be beneficial for the strategic and financial flexibility of the company.

For further information regarding the rights issue, please refer to the separate press releases published on March 5, 2012.

Strategic review of magnetoencephalography (MEG)

Elekta's operations within magnetoencephalography (MEG) have not fully measured up to its financial objectives, thus a strategic review has been initiated. Net sales for MEG amounted to about SEK 74 M for the first nine months with a negative result.

Outlook for fiscal year 2011/12

For the fiscal year 2011/12, net sales is expected to grow by 16-18 percent in local currency and operating profit in SEK is expected to grow by more than 20 percent. The acquisition of Nucletron is expected to contribute to this increase by approximately 10 percentage points in both net sales and operating profit. Currency is estimated to have a negative effect of about SEK 100 M including hedging effects on earnings for the fiscal year 2011/12.

The outlook has been changed compared with the outlook in the previous interim report as of 2 December 2011, which was:

For the fiscal year 2011/12, net sales is expected to grow by more than 20 percent in local currency and operating profit in SEK is expected to grow by more than 20 percent. The acquisition of Nucletron is expected to contribute to this increase by approximately 10

Auditors' review report for the interim report

Elekta AB (publ), corporate registration number 556170-4015

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report for Elekta AB (publ) for the period May 1, 2011 to January 31, 2012. The Board of Directors and the President and CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company, in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
