Olivier Legrain, Chief Executive Officer of IBA commented: "In a year where the challenges of the pandemic persisted for the world, I am extremely proud of what IBA has been able to achieve. We demonstrated considerable resilience across the group with profitability across our business lines. This performance has been achieved by capitalizing on our market leading offerings, which resulted in a high order intake across the board. Alongside this, our pipeline is incredibly strong with active international business leads in Proton Therapy and Other Accelerators as well as in Dosimetry. The resurgence in activity that we have seen in proton therapy has been particularly notable in the US and Asia and the momentum is providing significant visibility for the years ahead, further bolstered by the increasing, predictable revenue stream from Services.

"We have entered 2022 with an all-time high cash position. This provides us with stability and optionality through which to strengthen the business with a focus on recurring revenues, whilst also strategically investing in emerging growth areas such as FLASH therapy and theranostics, as well as seeking value-enhancing business development opportunities. Moreover, as we move towards long-term sustainable profitability, our stakeholder approach remains front and centre of all our business activities.

"Looking externally, the geopolitical situation in Europe remains complex. We are saddened by the tragic developments in Ukraine and stand by all the people who are affected. We do not see any major impact of the ongoing conflict on our business at this stage, however given rising inflation, global supply chain disruptions and increasing costs of doing business, this may change and we continue to monitor the situation closely."

Overview

  • Total net sales were broadly flat, reflecting the large impact of CGNNT on PT revenues in 2020. Excluding CGNNT, segment revenues were up 30%, mostly due to intensive construction of machines to be delivered over 2022/23 across the accelerator business
  • Proton Therapy equipment revenues fell 25% to EUR 74 million due to the impact of CGNNT, however excluding the effects of CGNNT, there was an increase of EUR 34 million (+97%)
  • Excellent order intake for Proton Therapy equipment despite the pandemic with five new orders (nine rooms)
  • Other Accelerators equipment revenue increased 35.1% to EUR 67.1 million, reflecting record order intake with 31 new sales in the year and backlog conversion
  • Continued good performance for Services with total revenues of EUR 119.3 million, up 6%, as proton therapy centers remained fully operational, despite the pandemic
  • REBIT of EUR 9.6 million, with the reduction reflecting the CGNNT impact, partially offset by increased activity and cost control

Proton Therapy

The revival in the proton therapy market continued into the second half of 2021, particularly in the US and Asia. IBA maintained its market leading position throughout the year, with a 56% market share in PT rooms, selling five rooms in China, three in the US and one in Italy. We started one new PT installation in the year in the Asia region, while four other installations continued during the period. This activity has continued into 2022 and our pipeline remains highly active, particularly in the US, China and Southern Europe, with several active leads.

Services continued to perform strongly with two new service contracts starting in 2021, both in Asia. There are now 39 IBA PT sites generating service revenues worldwide and the backlog remains very high at EUR 727 million. This recurrent revenue stream will continue to be very important for IBA, providing us with visibility on sustainable profitable growth.

At the end of August IBA, alongside 19 other industry and academic partners, launched the ProtectTrial, a large-scale randomized controlled clinical trial for esophageal cancer. The research project comprises 12 proton therapy centers across eight countries and aims at improving patient selection for proton therapy across cancer indications through the evaluation of selection criteria and the creation of shared reimbursement guidelines. A total of approximately 400 patients are expected to be included in the randomized trial with study completion planned by 2027.

Investment in future technological advancements for PT is a key priority for IBA and we continue to collaborate with key partners to continue to accelerate this. At the ASTRO conference in October, IBA announced that it had expanded its partnership with RaySearch within the areas of FLASH radiotherapy, Proton Arc therapy, and the treatment of moving tumors. This new partnership, as well as the research agreement signed with the University of Pennsylvania and the initiation of a global DynamicARC® Consortium, aims to take proton therapy to the next level by developing innovative radiotherapy technologies that will significantly improve patient care.

The positive dynamics of IBA's proton therapy activities in 2021 have continued into 2022 with a Proteus®ONE contract announced in February 2022.

Other Accelerators

The Other Accelerators business delivered another excellent year, with sales up 26%. The equipment segment experienced significant growth of 35% with the sale of 31 systems, up from 17 systems sold last year. There was strong growth in Asia and in particular China (16 systems sold in the region in 2021, of which 10 were in China) as well as sales in the growing markets of Africa and South America. Services also performed well, with a 7% increase, demonstrating good resilience in light of pandemic-related challenges.

The year was further marked by a series of partnership agreements aimed at strengthening IBA's leadership in the Other Accelerators business:

▪ A collaboration agreement with NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes to increase global availability of technetium-99m (Tc-99m), the most widely used medical radioisotope

  • A strategic R&D partnership with SCK CEN (Belgian Nuclear Research Center) to enable the production of Actinium-225 (225Ac), a novel radioisotope which has significant potential in the treatment of cancer
  • A long-term R&D, marketing and sales partnership with TRAD Tests & Radiation (radiation testing, calculation and analysis services) to develop next generation radiation processing application and accelerate the transition to E-beam and X-ray sterilization

In 2021, IBA once again demonstrated its position as a leading innovator in nuclear medicine, with the launch of its new high energy and high-capacity cyclotron, the Cyclone® IKON, which offers the largest energy spectrum for PET and SPECT isotopes from 13 MeV to 30 MeV. This innovation has continued in 2022, with the launch in January of a promising new low energy and compact size cyclotron, the Cyclone® KEY, which will be particularly valuable in the many regions in the world with limited access to Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging diagnostic solutions in oncology, neurology and cardiology.

IBA's Industrial Solutions business showed strong progress over the year with several sales of IBA's unique Rhodotron® machine, among others with the sale of a Rhodotron® TT300 HE to NorthStar Medical for future production of Ac-225. Post-period, the first down payment was received for the installation of an irradiation cross-linking solution using IBA's Rhodotron® technology.

The most significant contributor to order intake growth was the sale of several machines to major players in the sterilization business. These included both in-house sterilization facilities at medical equipment producers as well as external sterilization service providers, highlighting the growing shift towards accelerator-based sterilization facilities.

Dosimetry

(EUR 000) FY 2021 FY 2020 Variance Variance %
Net sales 52 326 51 060 1 266 2.5%
REBITDA 6 495 4 384 2 111 48.2%
% of Sales 12.4% 8.6%
REBIT 4 892 2 523 2 369 93.9%
% of Sales 9.3% 4.9%

Overview

  • An excellent year for Dosimetry with sales up 2.5% as the conventional radiotherapy and medical imaging industries continued to recover from the impact of the pandemic
  • Order intake for the year was EUR 50 million, slightly down by 4% versus last year
  • Backlog was EUR 16.3 million, up 5% from last year

Press release | March 24, 2022

▪ REBIT grew strongly by 93.9% to EUR 4.9 million reflecting the sales growth, particularly in Asia, and effective cost controls

IBA Dosimetry is a world leading provider of innovative high-end quality assurance (QA) solutions and imaging markers for radiation diagnostics and therapy. The Dosimetry business continued to gain market share in QA for conventional radiotherapy and medical imaging in 2021 with IBA retaining its dominant market share in dosimetry for proton therapy.

Several new and innovative products were launched in 2021 to enhance IBA's position in the Patient QA market, including myQA® SRS, which maximizes the efficiency of stereotactic QA measurements for the whole clinically relevant region. IBA also released myQA® Phoenix, the high-resolution digital detector array for PT commissioning, and will continue to invest in its patient QA radiotherapy offering and its market-leading dosimetry tools for PT.

Post-period end, IBA and Elekta signed a collaborative agreement to optimize QA solutions. Radiation therapy departments and clinics using Elekta's treatment delivery systems will benefit from QA solutions that are designed for these devices by streamlining workflows and improving access to measurement data.

Financial review

Group revenue in the year was EUR 313.0 million, remaining flat versus 2020, with a high level of activity in the year being offset by the effect of the recognition of EUR 63.5 million revenues from CGNNT in 2020. Excluding CGNNT Group revenue, growth was 24%. Despite the effects of the pandemic, order intake was very strong across all business lines and backlog conversion strengthened as equipment construction progress and installations continued.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales stood at 34.4% against 43.6% at the end of 2020, the variation explained by the major impact of CGNNT in 2020. Operating expenses fell by 2.6% as cost containment measures in Selling, General & Administrative expenses were maintained over 2021 along with some COVID related savings, while maintaining R&D expenses at around 11% of topline.

The recurring operating profit before interest and taxes (REBIT) line stood at EUR 14.5 million (2020: EUR 40.4 million), the variation stemming mostly from the large CGNNT impact of 2020.

Other operating loss result of EUR 1.0 million was mainly impacted by costs related to share-based payment plans for employees. The net financial result of EUR 4.0 million predominantly included interest charges on credit lines, bank charges linked to the high level of trade finance activities and foreign exchange fluctuations, compensated by accrued interest and the reversal of a discount on long-term customer receivables.

Taxes in 2020 were impacted by current and deferred tax credits in certain countries while 2021 saw a return to normal levels of taxation in these countries as well as higher taxation in countries where IBA had increased installation or service revenues.

As a result of the above, IBA reported a net profit of EUR 3.9 million compared with EUR 31.9 million for 2020, with the 2020 figure impacted favorably by the high margin CGNNT component.

Operating cash flow generation continued in 2021, standing at EUR 87.2 million, driven by continuing improvement of working capital as backlog conversion progressed.

Cash flow used in investing activities was EUR 8 million. The increase was in part due to higher capex investments on ongoing projects in comparison to last year and the release of a deferred payment following the final completion of the sale of RadioMed, compensated by an investment related to the bond financing of a Proton Therapy customer.

Cash flow used in financing activities was EUR 36.3 million, which included the dividend paid on 2020 results, repayments on financial borrowings and the acquisition of treasury shares.

The balance sheet significantly strengthened once again, with a gross cash position at year end of EUR 199 million and an all-time high net cash position of EUR 130 million compared with EUR 65 million at end of 2020. IBA has EUR 37 million undrawn short-term credit lines still available and all bank covenants have been complied with.

In line with the dividend policy announced last year, the Board of Directors intends to recommend to the Annual General Meeting that a gross dividend of EUR 0.19 per share be paid in 2022. If approved, the annual bonus paid out to employees will be matched at the same level as part of the Company's initiative to share the value created with all of its stakeholders.

Outlook

IBA's strong performance across all business lines has continued to accelerate into 2022. Our pipeline is extremely active, particularly in the US and Asia, and coupled with our growing predictable revenue stream, is providing us with significant visibility for the coming period. Looking ahead, we see the potential for order intake to further accelerate, especially in the Proton Therapy and Sterilization businesses, which would drive growth of our top and bottom line. Alongside this organic growth we have a very strong balance sheet that will support us to seek value-enhancing external opportunities to further drive sustainable growth.

The armed conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, which began in February 2022, has led to international sanctions placed on the Russian Government and businesses by other countries and states, including the European Union. Due to the early stage of the conflict and the rapidly evolving situation, definitive conclusions cannot be reached at this stage, but the situation is not materially impacting IBA Group's overall operations currently. However, this situation, added to some remaining pandemic-related complexities, has once again created economic uncertainties.

As a result, IBA will not be providing more detailed guidance at this stage.
