President and CEO comments

It is gratifying to see that our long-term growth strategy is continuing to be successful. Elekta's order bookings increased 10* percent in the second quarter. In Europe, the Middle East and Africa order bookings was particularly strong and increased by 32* percent. In North America, order bookings rose 21* percent, which was significantly higher than the market as a whole. In Asia Pacific we remain confident of the performance for the full year. In the quarter order bookings declined, but this should be viewed in light of the sharp increase noted in the preceding year.

Strong progress for Versa HDTM

Elekta is the technology leader in our industry and sales of our latest linear accelerator, Versa HDTM, is developing strongly in Europe and North America. Continuously stretching the boundaries for modern cancer care is an important element in our assignment to improve the quality of life for people with cancer. Accordingly, it was particularly rewarding to note the great interest in our latest innovations presented at the ASTRO meeting in September. The launch of Esteya®, our new solution for the treatment of skin cancer, has been very successful. The new software solution Monaco® 5 recently received 510(k) clearance and interest from customers is exceeding expectations.

Major investments in product development

Elekta's important development project, MR Linac, is being conducted in close collaboration with our users and will now be further intensified. Recently, our research consortium comprising some of the world's leading cancer clinics and researchers convened, with MD Andersson Cancer Center of the US as host. It was an enthusiastic group, representing a large proportion of the collective global expertise in modern cancer care, which shared experiences and planned the next steps in development work.

We are also continuing our efforts in training and education. In September, we opened the Atlanta LINC (Learning and Innovation Center), in the US. The concept is being deployed in other markets and we recently opened LINC Beijing in China. Training and education is a key element in our strategy for emerging markets and LINC Beijing will further strengthen our leading position and our commitment to China.

Strong sales growth

Sales increased 10* percent during the first six months of the year. The growth was good in all regions.

EBITA, before non-recurring items, amounted to SEK 555 M for the first six months. Exchange-rate effects had a negative impact of SEK -90 M. Compared to the preceding year, the proportion of Leksell Gamma Knife® units in the product mix was lower, but deliveries are expected to be stronger during the second half of the year.

In line with the seasonal patterns of prior years, cash flow is expected to be significantly stronger for the remainder of the year. Continuous investments during the period increased by SEK 200 M over last year which is mainly attributable to the MR Linac project and training and education centers. Cash flow after continuous investments was SEK 61 M during the second quarter.

Outlook for the full-year unchanged

We reiterate the outlook for the full-year. Net sales is expected to grow by more than 10 percent in local currency and EBITA is expected to grow by approximately 10 percent in local currency. Our strategy is successful and our efforts are generating benefits for shareholders and cancer patients. We will continue to represent a pioneering spirit in modern cancer care and in the treatment of neurological disorders. We have a proven strategy, a unique market position, world leading technology and a firm commitment to continue develop modern cancer care.

Market development

North and South America

Order bookings decreased 13 percent during the first half of the year. Based on unchanged exchange rates, order bookings declined 8 percent. The contribution margin for the region was 31 percent (33).

During the second quarter Elekta's trend in North America was strong and order bookings rose 21 percent based on constant exchange rates. In November, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) decided on new reimbursement levels for radiation therapy. This will increase reimbursement levels for all areas applicable to Elekta.

In Canada, demand for Elekta's cancer-treatment solutions has been favorable. The underlying growth in demand in the region is expected to continue, primarily due to an ageing and growing population.

The South American market is driven by a substantial shortage of treatment capacity and an intensified focus on improving cancer care. During the period, order bookings in the region declined compared to last year. Elekta declined to continue to participate in a linear accelerator bidding process in Brazil due to non-acceptable commercial terms. After completion of the process, business has started to grow. Elekta's long-term growth potential and commitment to the region remains unchanged.

Europe, Middle East and Africa

Order bookings rose 23 percent during the first half of the year. Based on unchanged exchange rates, order bookings rose 26 percent. The contribution margin for the region was 34 percent (31).

The market trend in Europe was strong. The established markets demonstrated favorable growth across all territories and Elekta achieved particularly strong growth in Scandinavia and France. The established markets continue showing a trend towards demand of more effective and advanced treatment systems. The emerging markets have had good development during the period.

Asia Pacific

Order bookings decreased 13 percent during the first half of the year. Based on unchanged exchange rates, order bookings declined 1 percent. The contribution margin for the region was 23 percent (29). The decline is mainly related to product mix.

Elekta is the market leader in the region with strong order growth prospects for the full year. Japan continued to perform well. Elekta has a strong presence in neurosurgery and software in Japan, and is expected to continue to increase its market share in oncology. China developed in line with expectations and comparisons should take into consideration the record order booked in Q2 last year. Prospects are good for strong development in China for the remainder of the year. In India, import regulations for radiation therapy equipment were amended, which, together with weak currency, resulted in delays of orders and deliveries. By maintaining focus on growth, the conditions are good to support care providers in these countries in their endeavor to advance and enhance cancer care in the region.

Net sales

Net sales increased 4 percent to SEK 4,355 M (4,180). Based on constant exchange rates, net sales grew by 10 percent and growth was good in all regions.

Earnings

Gross income amounted to SEK 1,868 M (1,897) representing a margin of 43 percent (45).

The gross margin was negatively impacted by exchange-rate effects and by the medical device tax in the US. Compared with the preceding year, the proportion of Leksell Gamma Knife® units in the product mix was lower, but deliveries are expected to be stronger during the second half of the year.

EBITA before non-recurring items was 555 M (599). Operating result before non-recurring items was SEK 411 M (480). Operating margin, before non-recurring items, amounted to 9 percent (11). Nonrecurring items amounted to SEK -61 M (-17) during the period and SEK -27 M (-10) in the quarter, and mainly consist of legal costs.

Research and development expenditures, before capitalization of development costs, are increasing according to plan and amounted to SEK 591 M (438) equal to 14 percent (10) of net sales.

The effect from changes in exchange rates was negative by approximately SEK -90 M, including hedges.

The change in unrealized exchange rate effects from cash flow hedges amounted to SEK 37 M (43) and is reported in other comprehensive income. Closing balance of unrealized exchange rate effects from cash flow hedges in shareholders' equity was SEK 105 M (68 on April 30, 2013) exclusive of tax.

Liquidity and financial position

Cash flow after continuous investments amounted to SEK -523 M (223). The cash flow was affected by higher continuous investments, SEK -414 M (-214) and increased working capital, SEK -305 M (171), mainly inventory for planned deliveries during the second half of the year. The increase in continuous investments is related to research and development and the establishment of new advanced education and training centers.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 1,173 M (2,567 on April 30, 2013) and interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 4,419 M (4,552 on April 30, 2013). Thus, net debt amounted to SEK 3,247 M (1,985 on April 30, 2013). Net debt/equity ratio was 0.64 (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.

The outlook in local currency is reiterated. In fiscal year 2013/14, net sales is expected to grow by more than 10 percent in local currency. The 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.

Report of Review of Interim Financial Information

Introduction

We have reviewed this report for the period 1 May 2013 to 31 October 2013 for Elekta AB (publ.). The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Report 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 is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

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

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.
