ELEKTA AB (publ) Corporate registration number 556170-4015 Kungstensgatan 18 – Box 7593 – SE 103 93 Stockholm
"In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007/08, we saw a continued strong demand. Order intake for the full year increased by 21 percent in local currency, driven primarily by a continued success in radiation therapy in North America, a stronger interest in Leksell Gamma Knife® in Europe and a strong recovery on the Chinese market. Order bookings for the fourth quarter in isolation, shows very strong growth, primarily driven by success on the North American market, where we gain new customers based primarily on our technology for image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) in combination with our software solutions. It is also positive that Elekta continues to gain market share in China.
As expected during the fourth quarter, we saw high delivery volumes in all product areas and we could also finalize a large number of software installations.
A milestone in the development of Elekta is the acquisition of CMS and I am very pleased that we could complete the acquisition process and initiate the integration according to plan. Short term it means a stronger and more comprehensive product portfolio. In a longer perspective, it significantly strengthens our ability to develop advanced software systems for cancer care. The addition of CMS also allows us to improve workflow efficiency by the integration of radiation therapy planning and oncology information management systems.
We have now taken the company from being an equipment supplier to a solution provider, and now through the acquisition of CMS, taken a strategic position in cancer care management.
On the market for radiosurgical treatment of brain disorders, Leksell Gamma Knife is retaining a strong position. Leksell Gamma Knife® Perfexion™ is a significant improvement to its users both in terms of number of treatable patients as efficiency in the treatment process. At the recent 14:th meeting with the Leksell Gamma Knife Society with over 500 participants in Quebec, Canada, many of the now over 30 users of Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion testified that the new system has made operations more efficient and allowing more patients to benefit from Gamma Knife® surgery. In fiscal year 2007/08, the number of delivered Leksell Gamma Knife units increased by over 25 percent and a large majority of these deliveries were Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion. The recently issued regulatory approval in Japan opens a new significant market for Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion.
I am very pleased with the continued improvement of Elekta's profitability during the fiscal year 2007/08. Operating profit for the full year improved by 28 percent despite continued significant negative currency developments. The operating profit improvement is primarily driven by higher volumes, a slightly changed product mix and cost control.
If we look ahead towards fiscal year 2008/09 and further, we can conclude that Elekta is well positioned for a continued strong growth. Our clinical solutions are highly competitive and more customers are thoroughly evaluating all options available on the market, which not least is manifested in the recent strong order bookings.
CMS, acquired in March 2008, adds further to net sales growth, but will only contribute marginally to operating profit for the Group during 2008/09 due primarily to amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition.
The strong and broad product portfolio also opens significant opportunities for Elekta. In 2008/09, we will therefore strengthen our direct market presence in selective growth markets and thereby accelerate our growth in regions where the need for expanded care capacity is very high.
We continue our significant investments in R&D, with the aim of improving quality and costefficiency in cancer care and management of brain disorders.
In summary, I expect that Elekta in 2008/09 will grow net sales by over 15 percent in local currency and that also operating profit will grow by more than 15 percent, given today's currency environment. Also in 2008/09, net sales and operating profit will be significantly higher in the second half of the year, compared with the first.
Elekta is an international medical technology group, providing oncologists, radiation therapists, neurosurgeons and many other medical specialists with state of the art tools to fight serious disease. Elekta's solutions are used at over 5,000 hospitals globally to treat cancer with radiation therapy, to diagnose and treat brain disorders as well as to run efficient and effective clinical practices. Elekta is the world leader in image guided and stereotactic clinical solutions for radiosurgery and radiation therapy, methods for aggressively treating tumors and functional targets with ultrahigh precision while sparing healthy tissue. Through ambitious Research & Development programs and close collaborations with clinical partners, Elekta continues to launch groundbreaking new technology at a rapid pace. All of Elekta's solutions employ non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques, which are clinically effective, yet cost-effective and gentle to the patient.
The total market for Elekta's clinical solutions, IT systems and services is expected to grow by 5-10 percent annually and the unmet needs remain high. However, the high value of individual orders and the particularities of the healthcare industry market often lead to significant quarterly variations in business volume, product mix and geographical mix.
The market development is driven by the shortage of treatment capacity that is prevailing in most countries and by the increase in number of cancer cases, a result of higher life expectancy and better diagnostics. New advanced, more precise and accurate methods are expected to increase the role of radiation therapy in the future. The rapid development of new technology is resulting in higher average order values. An increasing number of customers are requesting more comprehensive and long-term relationships with suppliers.
In virtually all countries, health care systems are under strong pressure to improve efficiency and at the same time slow down cost expansion. Software systems for higher efficiency, in patient throughput as well as information management and administration, are becoming more critical for operations and the demand is increasing.
In June, Elekta received FDA 510(k) clearances for its groundbreaking Elekta VMAT solution, allowing US cancer specialists to both plan and deliver radiation using a technique which has the potential to revolutionize the practice of radiation oncology.
In June, Elekta was able to complete the process of adding CE-marking to Elekta Compact™, and opening the opportunity to sell and market this highly competitive linear accelerator platform on a wide range of markets.
Order bookings rose 15 percent to SEK 5,882 M (5,102). Based on unchanged exchange rates order bookings rose 21 percent.
Based on unchanged exchange rates order bookings in North and South America rose 26 percent, region Europe including Middle East and Africa rose 10 percent and Asia rose 31 percent.
Order bookings during the fourth quarter rose 40 percent to SEK 2 181 M (1 563), which is a record for a single quarter.
Order backlog April 30, 2008 was at an all time high level of SEK 5,069 M (4,247).

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEK M | 2007/08 | 2006/07 | 2007/08 | 2006/07 | ||
| Europe, Middle East, Africa | 830 | 532 | 56% | 2,200 | 1,997 | 10% |
| North and South America | 981 | 776 | 26% | 2,694 | 2,307 | 17% |
| Asia | 370 | 255 | 45% | 988 | 798 | 24% |
| Group | 2,181 | 1,563 | 40% | 5,882 | 5,102 | 15% |
The North American market continues to show solid growth, primarily driven by the rising cancer incidence and by the rapid acceptance of new and refined treatment methods such as image guided radiation therapy (IGRT), stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) and the new VMAT functionality for dynamic arc treatments.
Elekta is leading the development in advanced methods for radiation therapy and sees strong growth in the linear accelerator market in North America. The introduction of Elekta Infinity™ and the VMAT technology, which has met strong interest, has the potential to reduce treatment times and thereby improve patient throughput as well as clinical effectiveness.
In the US market, software systems that support the entire treatment process are normally an integrated part of the delivery of treatment systems. MOSAIQ®, the new system from Elekta for EMR, workflow and information management, are now being installed at new and existing customers at a rapid pace at both radiation oncology and medical oncology centers.
Elekta's position in the European market for radiation therapy is strong. The market development is to a large extent driven by national and regional initiatives to remedy the lack of care capacity and therapeutic equipment. In many European countries, the number of linear accelerators per capita is less than half that of the US.
Elekta's ability to provide comprehensive and integrated solutions, yet based on industry standards and open connectivity, makes the company an attractive partner in tenders involving comprehensive long-term commitments.
There is a solid rationale for a continued long-term market growth in Asia. The number of linear accelerators per capita is low, in an international comparison. Through the introduction of Elekta Compact™, Elekta will be able to offer solutions across the spectrum of price and performance and is well positioned to meet continued strong demand in the region and to support health care providers in these countries in their quest to develop cancer care.
In China, the healthcare system is currently undergoing reform and restructuring, in order to meet the growing need for advanced care and to make these services more accessible to a larger share of the population.
In Japan, there is a large installed base of Leksell Gamma Knife and subsequently, there is substantial potential for upgrades to Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion.
CMS is the market leader in Japan on the market for radiation therapy planning, which will facilitate for Elekta to address new customers.

On May 3, 2007, Elekta acquired 3D Line Research and Development S.r.l. (3D Line), adding to Elekta a highly qualified R&D group specialized in stereotactic radiosurgery and dynamic IMRT treatments as well as a product portfolio of advanced equipment and treatment planning software systems for performing radiation therapy with high precision and optimized dose distribution.
3D Line's registered office is in Milan, Italy and at time of acquisition 3D Line had 20 employees.
In May, Elekta paid 10 million Euro in cash for 3D Line. The purchase agreement contains also an earn-out maximized to 8 million Euros, dependent on the company's performance during the coming three years. Acquisition cost amounted to SEK 3 M.
Of the fair values assigned to the acquired unit's identifiable assets and liabilities, intangible assets and goodwill have been valued at SEK 178 M. The intangible assets consist of technology and the amortization period is six years. Goodwill refers primarily to future synergy effects.
Following the transaction, 3D Line's organization as well as products and services, has been fully integrated into the Elekta Group.
CMS is a worldwide leader in the development, sales and support of advanced radiation therapy dose planning solutions, supporting over 1,500 sites in clinical operation throughout the world. CMS will significantly contribute to Elekta's strategy in radiation therapy dose planning. Further CMS is the market leader in treatment dose planning for proton therapy with eight installations in clinical use. Integrating these solutions with the MOSAIQ™ information management system will reinforce Elekta's leadership in software systems for proton therapy facilities and strengthen the collaboration between Elekta and its current partners in this area.
CMS is based in St Louis, Missouri, USA. The group has about 300 employees worldwide.
On March 4, 2008, Elekta acquired CMSI Holdings Corp. including its subsidiary CMS Inc. for a total cash consideration representing an enterprise value of USD 75 M. Acquisition costs amounted to USD 1.4 M.
The initial accounting for the fair values to be assigned to the acquired unit's identifiable assets and liabilities has been provisionally established. Intangible assets and goodwill have been valued at SEK 494 M. The intangible assets consist of customer relationships, technology, trademarks and order backlog. Goodwill refers primarily to future synergy effects.
During the fourth quarter, a large number of software projects were closed. Also within the treatment planning product area, including CMS, Elekta was able to deliver relatively high volumes. Order bookings for CMS amounted to SEK 119 M and net sales were SEK 123 M during the fourth quarter. CMS contributed positively to both operating profit and profit after tax.
The integration of CMS is proceeding according to plan and will be finalized during fiscal year 2008/09.
Elekta's ability to deliver treatment equipment is, to a large extent, dependent on customers being able to accept delivery in the agreed timeframe, which results in a risk of delayed deliveries and corresponding delayed revenue recognition. In its operations, Elekta is subject to a number of financial risks, primarily related to exchange rate fluctuations.
Description of other risks and uncertainties in Elekta's business can be found in the annual report 2006/07 on page 38-39 and in note 2. Nothing essential has happened to change the risks described therein.
Demand for Elekta's clinical solutions, products and services remains strong. The order backlog is on a record high level and Elekta continues to strengthen its market share. The product portfolio is more comprehensive and more competitive than ever before.
CMS, acquired in March 2008, adds further to net sales growth, but will only contribute marginally to operating profit for the Group during 2008/09.
Elekta will continue its significant investments in R&D, with the aim of improving quality and cost-efficiency in cancer care and management of brain disorders. By strategic investments in selected growth markets, Elekta will also strengthen its position in new market segments and on new geographic markets.
In fiscal year 2008/09, net sales growth is expected to exceed 15 percent in local currency. Operating profit is likewise expected to grow by more than 15 percent.
Changes in currency exchange rates affect Elekta's ability to reach or exceed its targets.
Net sales and operating profit is also for fiscal year 2008/09 expected to be significantly higher in the second half of the year compared with the first half.
Elekta's goal is to provide shareholders with a favorable return and value growth. According to the company's dividend policy, the goal is to distribute 20 percent or more of net profit to the shareholders in the form of dividends, share repurchases or comparable measures. Decisions regarding dividend payments are based on Elekta's financial position, the expected profitability trend, growth potential and investment needs.
For the three fiscal years 2004/05 to 2006/07, dividend together with share repurchases during the following year, has corresponded to between 85 and 100 percent of net profit, in line with the company's ambition to create shareholder value.
In accordance with the company's dividend policy, the Board proposes a dividend of SEK 1,75 (1.00) per share, corresponding to approx. SEK 160 M and 39 percent of net profit.
The Board also intends to propose to the Annual General Meeting on September 18, 2008 a new authorization for the Board to repurchase a maximum of 10 percent of the number of shares outstanding in Elekta AB. The decision on repurchases will be made during the year based on the share price performance, Elekta's financial position, profitability trend and investment needs.
The Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday, September 18, 2007 at 3:00 p.m. at the Polstjärnan Konferens, Sveavägen 77, Stockholm.
The annual report for 2007/08 is scheduled for publication in the first week of September 2008. Interim report for May-July 2008/09 will be published on September 18, 2008.
