NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – BASIS OF PREPARATION

1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of IBA cover the six months ended June 30, 2018. They have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at December 31, 2017.

1.1.1 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2018 :

  • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
  • IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, including amendments to IFRS 15: effective date of IFRS 15 and clarifications to IFRS 15

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39 on the accounting and classification of financial assets and liabilities, financial instruments and hedging. The Group adopted IFRS 9 as from January 1, 2018.

1) Classification and measurement

Under IFRS 9, debt financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The classification is based on two criteria: the Group's business model for managing the assets; and whether the instruments' contractual cash flows represent ''solely payments of principal and interest'' on the principal amount outstanding (the ''SPPI criterion'').

The new classification and measurement of the Group's debt financial assets are, as follows:

  • Debt instruments at amortized cost for financial assets that are held within a business model with the objective to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that meet the SPPI criterion. This category includes the Group's Trade receivables, long-term receivables on contracts in progress, other receivables and Loans included under other long-term assets, non-trade receivables/advance payments, short-term receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
  • Equity instruments at FVOCI, with no recycling of gains or losses to profit or loss on derecognition. This category only includes equity instruments (other investments), which the Group intends to hold for the foreseeable future and which the Group has irrevocably elected to so classify upon initial recognition or transition. The Group classified its unquoted equity instruments as equity instruments at FVOCI. Equity instruments at FVOCI are not subject to an impairment assessment under IFRS 9. Under IAS 39, the Group's unquoted equity instruments (other investments) were classified as AFS financial assets.
  • Financial assets at FVPL comprise only derivative instruments.

The assessment of the Group's business models was made as of the date of initial application, 1 January 2018, and then applied retrospectively to those financial assets that were not derecognised before 1 January 2018.

There were no restatement impacts on the statement of financial position as at December 31,2017.

2) Impairment of financial assets – Expected Credit Loss allowance

All financial assets, in particular trade and other receivables (short-term and long-term) are subject to a new impairment methodology, referred to as the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model, measuring the expected credit losses. Those ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive.

For the trade receivables, the Group has established an allowance matrix based on ageing balances adjusted for forward-looking factors linked to this customer.

For other debt financial assets (loans and debt securities), the ECL is based on the 12-month ECL. The 12-month ECL is the portion of lifetime ECLs that results from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. However, when there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECL. The Group consider a financial asset to be in default (totally or partially) when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full and account the appropriated ECL.

This resulted in no significant additional allowance to the existing incurred losses allowances at the opening as at January 1, 2018.

3) Cash flow hedging

Derivative financial instruments used for the protection of future cash flows are designated as hedges under cash flow hedge accounting. Under IAS 39, the Group already applied cash flow hedge accounting for such hedging transactions and will continue to do so under IFRS 9. Consequently, the accounting policy disclosed in the annual report 2017 on this item remains valid.

4) Fair value hedging

Under IAS 39, the Group already applied fair value hedge accounting and will continue to do so under IFRS 9. Consequently, the accounting policy disclosed in the annual report 2017 on this item remains valid.

No impact of IFRS 9 on the Group's retained earnings has been recorded as at January 1, 2018.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, including amendments to IFRS 15

The Group has applied IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective method by recognizing the initially applying IFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at January 1, 2018. Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 18 and IAS 11.

The details of the significant changes and quantitative impact of the changes are set out below :

Equipment sale :

The Group previously considered separately the production and installation of proton therapy center in the case of the installation was performed through a subsidiary of IBA SA. The revenue recognition occurred over time for both contracts with for each their own margin percentage based on the stage of completion.

Under IFRS 15, the Group considers that the sale of a proton therapy center is one single performance obligation and therefore, a global margin percentage is applied to the totality of this sale.

The initial impact on the equity at January 1, 2018 of this IFRS 15 retreatment is EUR -1.25 million.

Operation and maintenance services :

The Group provides operation and maintenance services. The customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Group. Therefore, revenue recognition occurrs over time using the linearized revenue recognition method.

Under IFRS 15, the Group continues to apply the same method except for preventive maintenance (above a threshold) included in their operation and maintenance services for which a selling price is separately specified. In this case, the revenue related to the preventive maintenance is recognized at a point in time when the preventive maintenance is taking place.

The initial impact on the equity at January 1, 2018 of this IFRS 15 retreatment is EUR -0.21 million.

  • Annual Improvements Cycle 2014-2016

The standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Group's financial statements are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt these standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective.

  • Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation, effective 1 January 2019
  • IFRS 16 Leases, effective 1 January 2019
  • IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts, effective 1 January 2021

  • IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, effective 1 January 2019
  • Annual Improvements Cycle 2015-2017, effective 1 January 2019

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 will replace IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single onbalance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under IAS 17. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of 'low-value' assets (e.g., personal computers) and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). Lessees will be required to separately recognise the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset. Lessees will be also required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., a change in the lease term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments). The lessee will generally recognise the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

Lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from today's accounting under IAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in IAS 17 and distinguish between two types of leases: operating and finance leases.

IFRS 16 also requires lessees and lessors to make more extensive disclosures than under IAS 17.

IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early application is permitted, but not before an entity applies IFRS 15.

In accordance with the transition method of the standard, IBA as a lessee choose to apply the standard using the modified retrospective approach .As of today, the Group has started to scan operating expenses and reviewing lease contracts, the Group will continue to assess the potential effect of IFRS 16 on its financial statements.

2.3 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND OTHER CHANGES IN THE COMPOSITION OF IBA GROUP

2.3.1 ACQUISITIONS OF COMPANIES

No acquisition of company was completed during the 6 first months of 2018.

2.3.2 DISPOSAL OF COMPANIES

No disposal of company was completed during the 6 first months of 2018.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. We present below estimates and assumptions that could cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

3.1 INCOME TAX – DEFERRED TAX

The Group recognizes deferred tax assets on unused losses carried forward to the extent that the taxable profit against which these assets are available can be used. The amounts recognized in the balance sheet are prudent estimates made on the basis of recent financial plans approved by the Board of Directors and depend on certain judgments with respect to the amounts and location of the future taxable profits of the Group's subsidiaries and parent company.

The June 30, 2018 income statement was positively impacted by the increase of deferred tax assets on temporary differences in the United-States for EUR 0.3 million.

As at June 30, 2018, the Group had accumulated net operating losses of EUR 102.4 million usable to offset future profits taxable mainly in Belgium and in Russia and temporary differences amounting to EUR 7.8 million mainly in the United States and in China. The Company recognized deferred tax assets of EUR 4.25 million with a view to use the tax losses carried forward and EUR 2.07 million as temporary differences.

The negative result of June 30, 2018 does not significantly affect the existing budgeted plan and there is therefore no indicator that would trigger the reassessment of the deferred tax assets.

3.2 REVENUE RECOGNITION

IFRS 15 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

The Group adopts the new standard on the required effective date using the modified retrospective method.

The Group is in the business of providing equipment and services. The equipment and services are sold both on its own in separate identified contracts with customers and together as a bundled package of goods and/or services.

(a) Sale of goods

The revenue recognition occurs over time due to the fact that the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

The Group is considering the following:

(i) Variable consideration

A limited number of contracts with customers provide a volume rebates. Currently, the Group recognises revenue from the sale of goods measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of volume rebates. If revenue cannot be reliably measured, the Group defers revenue recognition until the uncertainty is resolved. Such provisions give rise to variable consideration under IFRS 15, and is required to be estimated at contract inception.

IFRS 15 requires the estimated variable consideration to be constrained to prevent over-recognition of revenue. The Group assess individual contracts to determine the estimated variable consideration and related constraint.

(ii) Warranty

The Group provides warranties for general repairs in its contracts with customers. As such, the Group determines that such warranties are assurance-type warranties which continue to be accounted for under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets consistent with its current practice.

(b) Rendering of services

The Group provides operation and maintenance services. These services are sold either on their own in contracts with the customers or bundled together with the sale of equipment to a customer. The Group accounts for the equipment and service as separate deliverables of bundled sales and allocates consideration between these deliverables using the relative fair value approach. Under IFRS 15, allocation is made based on relative stand-alone selling prices which is actually already the case. The Group has assessed that the services are satisfied over time given that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group. Consequently, the Group continues to recognise revenue for these service contracts/service components of bundled contracts over time rather than at a point in time.

(c) Equipment received from customers

Non cash considerations are not applicable in the Group sales contracts.

3.3 ESTIMATING THE VALUE IN USE OF INTANGIBLE AND TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

When management considers that there is a risk of impairment, the recoverable amounts of tangible and intangible fixed assets are determined on a "value in use" basis. Value in use is determined on the basis of cash-flows coming from IBA's most recent business plans, as approved by the Board of Directors. These plans incorporate various assumptions made by management and approved by the Board as to how the business, profit margins, and investments will evolve.

The negative result of June 30, 2018 does not significantly affect the existing budgeted plan and there is therefore no indicator that would trigger an impairment test as of June 30, 2018.

3.4 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

No new long-term incentive plan has been implemented for 2018. Given the current context of the Company, a discretionary special short term incentive plan applies instead for fiscal year 2018, providing increased payout levels directly geared towards accelerating the PBT generated over and above the PBT planned for the year.

3.5 LOCAL TAXES IN COUNTRIES OTHER THAN BELGIUM

In 2015, the Company initiated an analysis on the Group exposure in countries other than Belgium to be potentially obliged to pay certain local taxes whereas the payment of those taxes has been transferred to the Group's customers. Exposure identified as of December 31, 2015, has been reduced as a result of further investigation performed in 2016 and 2017. Based on the data available, it is still not possible to make a reliable estimate of the remaining exposure and therefore no provision has been accrued for in the Group financial statements.

3.6 FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The assets and liabilities of the Group are valued as follows:

At December 31, 2017and June 30, 2018, the net carrying value of these financial assets and liabilities did not differ significantly from their fair value.

The headings "Hedging derivative products" and "Derivative products – other" in assets and liabilities include the fair value of forward exchange contracts and currency swaps.

The Group may acquire non-controlling interests from third companies, depending on the evolution of its strategy. At this stage based on limited available information, the fair value of equity investments is considered to be the carrying value.

MID YEAR REPORT 2018 //19

3.7 CATEGORIES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In conformity with IAS 39 all derivatives are recognized at fair value in the balance sheet.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is either the quoted market price or is calculated using pricing models taking into account current market rates. Fair values of hedging instruments are determined by valuation techniques widely used in financial markets and are provided by reliable financial information sources. Fair values are based on the trade dates of the underlying transactions.

The fair value of these instruments generally reflects the estimated amount that IBA would receive on the settlement of favorable contracts or be required to pay to terminate unfavorable contracts at the balance sheet date, and thereby takes into account any unrealized gains or losses on open contracts.

As required by IFRS 13 Fair value measurement, the following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

  • Level 1 : fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2 : fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
  • Level 3 : fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques for which the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

During the 6 first months of the year, there was no transfer between the various categories for the financial instruments existing as of June 30, 2018.

New financial instruments were acquired and are classified in level 2.

4. OPERATING SEGMENTS

On the basis of its internal financial reports to the Board of Directors and given the Group's primary source of risk and profitability, IBA has identified two levels of operating information:

  • Business segment-based information (Level 1);
  • Geographical segment-based information (Level 2). Not presented in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

4.1 BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The operating segments are parts of the Company's business. Distinct financial information is available for these segments and is regularly checked by the Management team.

The presentation format of IBA's operational segments is represented by activities in the primary dimension, as the Company's risks of the Company and the productivity rates related to the activities are mainly affected by the fact that IBA operates activities which have different fundamental risk profiles. Consequently, the organization of the Company's Management and its internal reporting system to the Board of Directors have been implemented. A business segment is a separate component of a company which provides products or services in a specific field of activity which is subject to risks and returns different from those of other activities. In accordance with IFRS 8 Operating segments, the business segments on which segment information is based are (1) Protontherapy and other accelerators and (2) Dosimetry.

  • Protontherapy and other accelerators: This segment constitutes the technological basis of the Group's many businesses and encompasses development production, and services associated with medical and industrial particle accelerators and proton therapy solutions.
  • Dosimetry: this segment includes the activities that offer a full range of innovative high-quality solutions and services that maximize efficiency and minimize errors in radiation therapy and medical imaging Quality Assurance and calibration procedures.

The segment results, assets and liabilities include the items directly related to a segment, as well as those that may be allocated on a reasonable basis. The nonallocated assets mainly include deferred tax assets and some assets of companies that have a cross-segment role.

The segment investment expenses include the total cost of investments incurred during the period of acquisition of tangible and intangible assets investments, except goodwill.

The followings tables provide details of the income statement, assets, liabilities and other information for each segment. Any intersegment sales are contracted at arm's length.

Basic earnings are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the Company shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares

outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of ordinary shares excludes shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares.

BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE June 30, 2017 June 30, 2018
Earnings attributable to parent equity holders (EUR '000) -4 655 -7 015
Weighted average number of ordinary shares 29 124 307 29 299 475
Basic earnings per share from continuing and discontinued operations (EUR per share) -0.1598 -0.2394

Earnings from discontinued operations attributable to parent equity holders (EUR '000) -25 -5
Weighted average number of ordinary shares 29 124 307 29 299 475
Basic earnings per share from discontinued operations (EUR per share) -0.0008 -0.0002

5.2 DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. In 2014, the Company had two categories of potential dilutive ordinary shares: stock options and the SRIW reverse convertible bond. Since end 2015, the Company has only one category of potential dilutive ordinary shares: stock options.

The calculation is performed for the stock options to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company's shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding stock options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the stock options.

Diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations (EUR per share) -0.0008 -0.0002
Earnings from discontinued operations attributable to parent equity holders (EUR '000) -25 -5
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (EUR per share) -0.1590 -0.2392
Earnings from continuing operations attributable to parent equity holders (EUR '000) -4 630 -7 010
Diluted earnings per share from continuing and discontinued operations (EUR per share) -0.1598 -0.2394
Earnings attributable to parent equity holders (EUR '000) -4 655 -7 015
Weighted average number of ordinary shares for diluted earnings per share 29 577 210 29 516 924

Weighted average number of ordinary shares 29 124 307 29 299 475
DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
June 30, 2017 June 30, 2018

(*) In compliance with IAS33, which stipulates that the diluted earnings per share does not take into account assumptions for conversion, financial year, or other issuing of potential ordinary shares which may have an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings per share (shares whose conversion involves a decrease in the loss per share).

1 Including 2 subordinated loans and 1 bond for EUR 19.29 million from S.R.I.W. and 1 subordinated bond of EUR 5 million from S.F.P.I. at June 2018 (2 loans for a total amount of EUR 15 million at end 2017).

S.R.I.W. and S.F.P.I.:

The S.R.I.W. and S.F.P.I. are two leading public (respectively, regional and federal) investment funds.

In 2012, IBA obtained a long-term amortizing credit facility of EUR 20 million from S.R.I.W.. Under the terms of this financing, the Group agreed to comply with specific covenants relating to IBA SA's level of equity.

On June 30, 2014, the Group strengthened its equity position with a EUR 6 million capital increase (EUR 5 million from S.R.I.W. and 1 million from S.F.P.I.) and a ''reverse convertible bond'' subscribed by S.R.I.W. for EUR 5 million. EUR 10 million were used to repay outstanding other borrowings.

December 31, 2015 was the latest possible date for converting the EUR 5 million S.R.I.W. reverse convertible bond into equity. At that time, the Group decided not to exercise its right to convert, and as a consequence, the bond was reclassified from "equity" to "bank and other borrowings".

In March 2018, IBA obtained new subordinated bonds of EUR 5 million from the S.R.I.W. and S.F.P.I. to strengthen its financial position in the context of the increase of its short-term bank credit lines (see below). These loans are repayable bullet at maturity (on

31/12/2021). Following the terms of the S.F.P.I. borrowing, the Group agreed to comply with specific covenants relating to IBA SA's level of equity.

Bank and other borrowings:

In April 2016, IBA borrowed EUR 10 million from a Belgian bank. This bank loan is repayable in 20 quarterly instalments equal in principal, starting end of July 2016 and ending in April 2021.

In February 2016, IBA issued private 5-year treasury notes for a total subscribed amount of EUR 5.75 million. These notes are to be repaid in a single instalment in February 2021. However, at December 31, 2017, they were reclassified to "short term borrowings", pending the outcome of discussions with the noteholders on a waiver of financial covenants. At June 30, 2018, as the majority of the noteholders had accepted the waiver applying at December 31, 2017, the outstanding amount of EUR 5.25 million has been reclassified to "long term borrowings".

At December 31, 2017, IBA also had short-term credit facilities with 3 leading Belgian banks, amounting to EUR 10 million each. On March 9, 2018, these banks together agreed to confirm these revolving credit facilities for a period of 3 years, and to increase the amount thereof from EUR 10 million to EUR 20 million each (i.e. from EUR 30 million to EUR 60 million in aggregate) until September 30, 2019.

In March 2017, IBA signed a financial lease agreement with two Belgian banks in order to finance the new factory that will become operational in second half of 2018, for a maximum amount of EUR 13.84 million.

All the above credit facilities and other borrowings are subject to financial covenants. In particular, the shortterm credit facilities include a covenant defined as a minimum level of adjusted equity and another covenant based on the ratio of adjusted net debt to REBITDA. The covenants are to be tested for the first time as of December 31, 2018. Based on projections at the end of 2018, Management believes that IBA will comply with the related covenants.

As at June 30, 2018, the Group has at its disposal credit lines up to EUR 111.14 million of which 67.8% are used to date.

Business Highlights

  • Four Proteus®ONE* contracts signed in the period, (three in the UK and one in China) and one term sheet signed in Italy. This represents 100% of the global market share for proton therapy systems sold so far in 2018. Of these, only the contract in China was recognizing revenue as of June 30, 2018, as the others await financing or contract finalization over the second half of the year
  • IBA continues to provide the quickest installation time on the market, with all projects completed in under 12 months, as demonstrated by two projects in Japan, one in the Netherlands, one in France and a record nine month installation in Wales
  • All proton therapy projects on track with 20 under construction globally, comprising 12 Proteus®ONE and eight Proteus®PLUS solutions, of which five projects on schedule to start installation in H2 2018
  • Construction of the new factory is on track and when operational in early Q4 2018, will enable a reduction in lead time and cost
  • Memorandum of Understanding with Elekta formalized in a final agreement with commitment to collaborate on software development as well as the sales and marketing of each other's products
  • Other Accelerators has seen an exceptional year with the sale of 11 systems including a highenergy Cyclone 70, coupled with strong upgrade sales and a promising Service pipeline

As previously announced, IBA is reviewing strategic alternatives for IBA Dosimetry, including a sale, merger, initial public offering, or retention of the business, and plans to update the market by the end of the year

Financial Highlights

  • Total Group H1 revenues of EUR 114.7 million, down 24.4% (H1 2017: EUR 151.6 million), stemming from low revenue recognition on new contracts over the first half and phasing of backlog conversion
  • o Proton Therapy and Other Accelerators revenue of EUR 90.4 million, down 26.7% (H1 2017: EUR 123.3 million)
  • o Dosimetry revenue down 14.2% to EUR 24.3 million compared to an exceptional 2017 (H1 2017: EUR 28.4 million) with strong backlog conversion
  • Operating expenses down 16.2% to EUR 44.5 million, reflecting the measures taken to adapt the business to a slower market with continuing tight cost controls and efficiency measures across the cost base
  • Group REBIT of EUR -4.5 million, reflecting only one of five new orders starting to recognize revenue in the period, partially offset by four new service contracts starting over the period. Group REBIT was up 61% from EUR -11.6 million at the end of 2017 and up 67% from H2 2017 (H2 2017: EUR -13.5 million)
  • Just under EUR 1 billion equipment and service backlog comprising a period-end equipment backlog for Proton Therapy and Other Accelerators of EUR 297 million, up 5% from

2017, and a services backlog of EUR 682 million, down 1% from H1 2017

Gross cash of EUR 36.3 million and net cash position of EUR -39.1 million. Working capital requirements remain stable compared to 2017, reflecting increased invoicing of milestones while build-up of inventory slowed down on ongoing projects

7.2 OPERATING REVIEW

IBA is focused on creating a global proton therapy platform that is built for the long term and is optimally positioned to capture the projected growth of the proton therapy market.

Our growth strategy is focused around two axes: 1) growing the proton therapy market by encouraging the adoption and awareness of proton therapy, including through education and facilitating the generation of robust supporting data and 2) increasing IBA's market share by focusing on technology, speed of delivery and reducing cost.

This strategy is underpinned by our strong global network of partnerships and collaborations which is central to IBA being able to provide a full spectrum proton therapy offering that will remove barriers to adoption and enable further acceptance and market growth.

Total net sales were down 26.7% in the first half to EUR 90.4 Million, reflecting the reduced order intake over H2 2017 and that four of the new orders are expected to start recognizing revenues in the second half. Other Accelerator sales showed growth of 2.9%, reflecting the strong conversion of 2017 sales and the record order intake in 2018 so far.

There are currently 20 projects under construction or installation, comprising 12 Proteus®ONE and eight Proteus®PLUS solutions, of which five projects are on schedule to start installation in H2 2018.

Services were up approximately 10% compared to the same period in 2017 and accounted for approximately 48.6% of segment revenues, as six new Proton Therapy contracts started delivering operations and maintenance revenues in H1 2018. Other Accelerators equipment revenues were up 6.5%, reflecting a strong order intake over the last 18 months. Other Accelerators service revenues remained high, boosted by recognition of revenues on multiple high margin upgrades and maintenance services.

Operating expenses reduced by more than 20%, reflecting the continuing cost control measures which have been successfully implemented. The Company remains committed to its ongoing cost control program while maintaining strategic initiatives.

Market

As expected, the proton therapy market during the first half of the year has continued to be slow and, due to this, finalizing contracts has taken longer than usual. However, IBA continues to be the proton therapy market leader with 44% of all proton therapy systems historically sold globally having gone to the Company. IBA has a strong backlog and pipeline and is the only company to have sold systems in 2018, which shows the Company's clear competitive strengths. Today, approximately 70,000 patients have been treated by IBA clients, more than all the installations of its competitors combined.

Pipeline

Despite the characteristic lumpiness of the current proton therapy market, the long-term potential remains encouraging. IBA's pipeline of new prospects is showing a strong increase in the number of potential customers considering investment in proton therapy. A key driver of this interest is IBA's compact Proteus®ONE solution which continues to be a large proportion of the pipeline, due to its cost attractiveness and ability to be integrated into a comprehensive cancer care center.

Guidelines

Updated guidelines from the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), as well as new guidelines announced recently in Japan for prostate cancer, have further endorsed proton therapy as a treatment option for cancer.

Additional publications and results from ongoing trials will be important to further widen the use of proton therapy. Furthermore, in the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) in the Netherlands, an alternative evidence-based methodology to select patients for proton therapy and provide clinical validation of the technology is gaining momentum. The university started treating patients at the beginning of 2018 and has implemented advanced selection procedures for proton therapy in head and neck cancer patients. Preliminary results from this are promising in validating the model-based approach and potentially extending it to other indications.

Speed

IBA continues to provide the quickest installation in the market, which enables customers to reducecosts and deliver an optimum business model. This is evidenced by the completion of five projects in the first half, including Newport, UK (Rutherford CC), Sapporo, Japan (Hokkaido Ohno), Groningen, Netherlands (UMCG), Toyohashi, Japan and Caen, France (Cyclhad/Archade), which were all delivered within 12 months. In particular, the project in Newport was delivered in a record time of nine months, demonstrating IBA's speed of delivery from contract signature to first treatment and secures the customers' investment as they can deliver treatment in line with their business plan.

Technology

In the period, in line with a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2017, IBA signed a final agreement with Elekta to collaborate on software development and joint marketing of each other's product portfolios. Both companies will co-invest in developing and selling solutions that seamlessly integrate IBA's Proteus Series and Elekta's Monaco® treatment planning system and MOSAIQ® oncology information system. Adding to the existing partnerships with Raysearch and Philips, the agreement with Elekta is part of IBA's continued strategy to partner and develop technologies to reinforce the Company's market leadership.

Delivery

Finally, during the period, all of IBA's 20 projects under construction are on schedule, and continue to be monitored constantly, based on reviews between project management and customers. To maintain this high level of delivery and to reduce lead-time and costs, IBA is constructing a new Proteus®ONE manufacturing site in Belgium. The construction of this site is on track and set to be operational in the third quarter of 2018, with accompanying offices and a new Customer Center operational by the end of the year.

In the first half, Dosimetry sales were down 14.2% versus H1 2017, due to exceptional backlogconversion in H1 2017. REBIT margins were lower due to slower backlog conversion and the fixedcost structure.

There was high order intake in H1 2018 of EUR 25.8 million, similar to 2017. The backlog grew to EUR 16.1 million versus EUR 15.4 million at the end of 2017, boosted by a strong growth in Services and proton therapy dosimetry.

During H1, IBA demonstrated its innovation leadership with the launch of several new products and features, namely Halo, Blue Phantom PT and Compass 2018.

Order intake and revenue recognition in the second half of 2018 are expected to be stronger, thanks to the impact of H1 product launches coupled with the additional launches at the American Association of Physicians in Medicine (AAPM) in early H2, including SMARTSCAN™, SciMoCa, Blue Phantom PT and DigiPhant with MyQA. SMARTSCAN™ is an automated and guided beamcommissioning. SciMoCa is the new Monte Carlo-powered secondary dose check and plan verification software. The Blue Phantom PT allows beam commissioning and Machine QA for Pencil Beam Scanning.

Financial Review

IBA reported revenues of EUR 114.7 million, down 24.4% (H1 2017: EUR 151.6 million), stemming from low revenue recognition on new contracts over the first half and phasing of backlog conversion.

The Company's recurring operating loss before interest and taxes (REBIT) line decreased to a loss of EUR -4.5 million from EUR 1.9 million in H1 2017, affected by the low topline.

CAPEX was significantly reduced to EUR 1.3 million (H1 2017: EUR 9.0 million), reflecting higher investments in new projects in 2017 and cost control measures taken in 2018.

There was a reduction in net other operating expenses to EUR 2.0 million from EUR 2.4 million in H1 2017. The expenses stemmed mostly from reorganizational costs incurred early 2018.

Net financial expenses amounted to EUR 0.2 million in H1 2018 compared to expenses of EUR 1.9 million a year earlier, helped by Forex gains on the US dollar.

Cash flow from operations was negative EUR 26.6 million at the end of June 2018 (negative EUR 10.5 million at the end of June 2017), mostly due to the negative variation of working capital, stemming from invoicing of milestones to customers and inventory build-up on projects.

Cash flow from financing was EUR 37.8 million in H1 2018, reflecting increased drawdowns on the Group's credit lines.

IBA had a cash position of EUR 36.3 million at the end of H1 2018 compared to EUR 27.3 million at the end of 2017. The net debt position rose to EUR 39.1 million, reflecting the increase in borrowings to absorb working capital requirements.

Guidance

IBA reiterates its outlook given at the time of its first quarter 2018 Business Update and Year Results.

Based on the current market outlook, IBA continues to anticipate a positive REBIT and net profit after tax for full-year 2018, driven by second-half weighting, and beyond. This includes recently signed projects awaiting financing, a strong pipeline of near-term projects and five installations due to start in H2.

The fundamentals of the proton therapy market continue to be solid, as demonstrated by the numerous prospects IBA is pursuing across all global markets. However, the market continues to show signs of lumpiness. IBA remains fully focused on driving growth whilst absorbing this unpredictability through tight cost controls and delivering success through strategic partnerships, continued focus on efficiencies and maintaining the world's most competitive and attractive proton therapy offering.

IBA will remain focused around its two axes for growth: growing the market by facilitating evidence generation and creating awareness of the benefits of proton therapy, whilst improving its affordability, and increasing IBA's market share with its superior clinical technology, industry-leading installation times, proven quality of service and unique ability to completely upgrade all systems to the latest technology available.
