CEO COMMENTS

STRONG SALES IN THE SECOND QUARTER

The long-term positive trend set by RayStation continues. In the second quarter, order intake for RayStation rose a full 118 percent to SEK 121 M (55) driven by a very robust order intake in North America in conjunction with continued strong demand in Europe.

RayStation is well established in all major markets worldwide as the most advanced treatment planning system for radiation therapy, with support for, among other things, adaptive radiation therapy, automated workflows and unique multi-criteria optimization. No other treatment planning system supports such a wide range of treatment delivery machines. RayStation helps to improve the radiation therapy process and extends the lifetime of therapy machines, which means they can be used more efficiently. This means that clinics that want to improve and develop their care are no longer dependent on buying the latest hardware. Instead they can achieve similar, positive outcomes by choosing RayStation as their treatment planning system.

We are continuing to expand our global marketing organization and now have subsidiaries in the US, Germany, France, Belgium, the UK, Singapore and Japan, and several additional subsidiaries are being formed.

RECORD RESULTS

During the quarter, revenues from RayStation rose 100 percent to SEK 108 M (54), while sales via partners decreased to SEK 11 M (23). Overall, revenues rose 54 percent to SEK 119 M (77) in the second quarter and the operating profit increased sharply to SEK 37 M (loss: 2).

In the first half of the year, revenues were up 30 percent to SEK 214 M (165) and the operating profit increased to SEK 61 M (31), corresponding to an operating margin of 28.4 (18.8) percent. These figures represent the highest-ever sales and the best results by far posted for the first half-year.

DEVELOPMENT OF RAYCARE CONTINUES AS PLANNED

RayCare is the next-generation oncology information system. When the system is launched in 2017, cancer clinics worldwide will gain access to a comprehensive information system for all major methods used for cancer treatments – radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery. RayCare will be able to automate workflows and store information about a patient's complete cancer treatment plan, thus offering new possibilities for data analysis and the evaluation of treatment outcomes. To ensure that we meet the needs of these clinics, our development activities are taking place in close collaboration with leading cancer clinics. Our present partners include the University of California San Francisco in the US, University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands and Iridium Kankernetwerk in Belgium. Additional world-leading business partners will be joining us during the year, and we are planning to demonstrate RayCare at the 2016 ASTRO Annual Meeting in Boston in late September.

CLEAR PLAN AND SOLID BASE FOR CONTINUED FOCUS

Our sales and earnings will continue to vary from quarter to quarter, since order intake and deliveries remain subject to relatively large fluctuations. However, I take great pleasure in confirming that our sales have now reached record year-on-year levels for eleven consecutive quarters. We also expect this growth to continue and that our recurring support revenues from RayStation will grow steadily. This provides a stable base for continued investments in both RayStation and RayCare.

To date, some 330 cancer clinics in some 24 countries have purchased RayStation. At the same time, there are more than 8,000 radiation therapy clinics worldwide and that number will undoubtedly grow over the next decade. The driving forces include rising cancer rates, growing awareness of the benefits of radiation therapy and major healthcare reforms in Asia. The market is therefore growing steadily. But we will continue to grow considerably faster than the market. We are aiming for a global market share of a minimum of 30 percent in the not too distant future.

Leading a company like RaySearch is a privilege. The drive and innovative spirit in this company is exceptional, and we have excellent prospects for succeeding with our joint mission – to continue the advancement of cancer care by developing innovative software solutions that save lives and improve the quality of life for cancer patients.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ORDER INTAKE

In the second quarter of 2016, order intake, excluding service agreements, increased 79.3 percent to SEK 129.1 M (72.0), of which order intake for RayStation rose 118.4 percent and amounted to SEK 120.8 M (55.3). This was primarily attributable to a higher order intake in North America contributing to raising the quarter's order intake and the continued strength in Europe.

In the first half of 2016, order intake, excluding service agreements, rose 33.3 percent to SEK 211.0 M (158.3), of which order intake for RayStation increased 55.5 percent and amounted to SEK 193.4 M (124.4). At June 30, 2016, the order backlog for RayStation was SEK 65.2 M (40.2).

REVENUES

In the second quarter of 2016, sales rose 53.8 percent to SEK 119.0 M (77.3). Sales consist of license revenues from sales of the RayStation treatment planning system, sales of software modules via partners, and support revenues. The sales increase was largely due to considerably increased revenues from RayStation, which rose 100.0 percent to SEK 107.8 M (53.9). In the second quarter, sales had the following geographic distribution: North America, 56 percent (44); Asia, 12 percent (16); Europe and the rest of the world, 32 percent (40).

In the first half of 2016, sales rose 29.9 percent to SEK 214.4 M (165.1), of which revenues from RayStation increased 61.7 percent and amounted to SEK 188.6 M (116.6). In the first half of the year, sales had the following geographic distribution: North America, 43 percent (42); Asia, 14 percent (16); Europe and the rest of the world, 43 percent (42).

OPERATING PROFIT

In the second quarter of 2016, operating profit increased to SEK 37.5 M (loss: 2.1), corresponding to an operating margin of 32.2 percent (neg: 2.7). The earnings increase was primarily due to a substantial rise in sales of RayStation.

Other operating income and expenses pertained to exchange-rate gains and losses with the net of these, in the second quarter of 2016, amounting to a gain of SEK 3.8 M (loss: 4.1). The increase was mainly due to the major portion of accounts receivable being denominated in USD, which strengthened in the second quarter compared with the end of the first quarter.

In the first half of the year, operating profit rose to SEK 60.8 M (31.0), corresponding to an operating margin of 28.4 percent (18.8). RaySearch is continuing to expand its global marketing organization, which has led to higher costs for marketing and for personnel in sales, service and administration, however this cost increase has been more than offset by increased sales in 2016.

Currency effects

The company is dependent on exchange-rate trends in the USD and EUR against the SEK, since invoicing is mainly denominated in USD and EUR, while most of the costs are in SEK. At unchanged exchange rates, sales would have increased 55.4 percent in the second quarter and posted a year-on-year rise of 30.4 percent in the first half of the year. Accordingly, currency effects had a slight negative impact on sales in 2016.

A sensitivity analysis of currency exposure indicates that the impact of a +/-10 percent change in the average USD exchange rate on operating profit for the first half of 2016 would be about +/- SEK 23.4 M, and that the corresponding effect of a +/-10 percent change in the average EUR exchange rate would be about +/- SEK 6.9 M. The company pursues the financial policy established by the Board of Directors, whereby exchange-rate changes are not hedged.

Capitalization of development expenses

At June 30, 2016, some 103 (92) employees were engaged in research and development. Research and development expenses include payroll costs, consulting fees, computer equipment and premises. As of 2016, costs related to the quality department, patents, internal IT support and so forth, have been reallocated from the development department to central administration. Increased capitalization of development expenses pertained mainly to RayCare, which has its planned launch in 2017.

In the first half of the year, before capitalization and amortization of development expenditure, research and development expenses totaled SEK 66.1 M (62.9). Capitalized development expenditure amounted to SEK 50.5 M (35.0) and in the first six months, amortization of capitalized development expenditure amounted to SEK 28.5 M (25.3). After adjustments for capitalization and amortization of development expenses, research and development costs totaled SEK 44.1 M (53.2).

Amortization and depreciation

In the second quarter of 2016, total amortization and depreciation was SEK 17.5 M (14.1), of which amortization of intangible fixed assets totaled SEK 14.8 M (12.5), primarily attributable to capitalized development expenditure, and depreciation of tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 2.7 M (1.6).

Total amortization and depreciation in the first half of 2016 was SEK 34.0 M (27.7), of which amortization of intangible fixed assets totaled SEK 28.5 M (25.3), primarily attributable to capitalized development expenditure, and depreciation of tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 5.5 M (2.4).

PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Profit after tax for the second quarter of 2016 amounted to SEK 28.8 M (loss: 2.6), corresponding to earnings per share before and after dilution of SEK 0.84 (loss: 0.08) For the first half of 2016, profit after tax was SEK 46.6 M (22.4), corresponding to earnings per share before and after dilution of SEK 1.36 (0.65)

For the first half of the year, the tax expense was SEK 13.3 M (expense: 7.4), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 22.2 percent (24.9).

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY

In the second quarter of 2016, cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 14.9 M (18.5). Improved earnings were offset by an increase in working capital, primarily an increase in accounts receivable, as a result of the high sales growth during the quarter. Cash flow from operating activities during the first half of the year totaled SEK 36.8 M (57.1).

Cash flow from investing activities was a negative SEK 26.3 M (neg: 27.5) in the second quarter. Investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 25.8 M (18.6) and comprised capitalized development expenditure attributable to RayStation and RayCare. Excluding financial leasing expenses, investments in tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 0.5 M (8.9).

In the first six months, cash flow from investing activities was a negative SEK 52.4 M (neg: 57.7). Investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 50.6 M (35.1) and comprised capitalized development expenditure. Excluding financial leasing expenses, investments in tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 1.8 M (22.6). Cash flow before financing activities was a negative SEK 11.4 M (neg: 9.1) in the second quarter of 2016 and a negative SEK 15.7 M (neg: 0.6) in the first half of 2016.

Cash flow from financing activities was a negative SEK 9.6 M (neg: 1.0) in the second quarter of 2016 and included finance lease payments as well as a dividend of SEK 8.6 M as resolved by RaySearch's 2016 Annual General Meeting. In the first six months of 2016, cash flow from financing activities was a negative SEK 10.6 M (neg: 1.7).

Cash flow for the period amounted to a negative SEK 26.3 M (neg: 2.3) and at June 30, 2016, consolidated cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 33.5 M (53.9).

FINANCIAL POSITION

RaySearch's total assets amounted to SEK 555 M (430) at June 30, 2016, and the equity/assets ratio was 64.3% (63.4) at the same date.

At June 30, 2016, current receivables totaled SEK 266.2 M (156.8). The receivables mainly comprise accounts receivable and the increase was largely due to substantial sales growth. The size of accounts receivable in relation to sales has increased slightly in the second quarter due to a considerable portion of sales being completed at the end of the period.

In November 2014, the company's credit facility was expanded from SEK 30 M to SEK 50 M, whereby chattel mortgages were increased to SEK 50 M. The credit facility comprises an overdraft facility of SEK 25 M and a revolving loan of up to SEK 25 M, which expire on November 4, 2017. Within the terms of the revolving loan, an amount of SEK 25 M has been borrowed until February 2017. Of the company's overdraft facility of SEK 25 M, SEK 4.0 M has been blocked as collateral for bank guarantees, of which EUR 0.4 M has been issued to MedAustron.

The provision pertaining to the settlement with Prowess was reclassified as a liability during 2014, as a result of the signed settlement agreement. The remaining liability of USD 1.6 M is in USD and discounted, since it does not carry any interest until final payment falls due in October 2016. During the year, currency and discounting effects had a negative impact of SEK 0.7 M on profit from financial items.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

RaySearch's financial assets and liabilities comprise accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, accrued income, accrued expenses, bank loans, accounts payable and a liability attributable to the settlement agreement signed with Prowess in April 2014. The liability pertaining to the settlement is discounted, while other financial assets and liabilities have short terms. Accordingly, the fair values of all financial instruments are deemed to correspond approximately to their carrying amounts. RaySearch has not applied net accounting to any financial assets or liabilities, and has no agreements that permit offsetting.

EMPLOYEES

At the end of the first half of the year, the Group had 182 (153) employees, of whom 152 were based in Sweden and 30 in foreign subsidiaries. The average number of employees during the January-June period of 2016 was 179 (144).

PARENT COMPANY

RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ) is the Parent Company of the RaySearch Group. Since the Parent Company's operations match the Group's operations in all material respects, the comments for the Group are also largely relevant for the Parent Company. However, capitalization of development expenditure and adjustments related to finance leases are recognized in the Group, but not in the Parent Company. The Parent Company's current receivables mainly comprise receivables from Group companies and accounts receivable.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD

RaySearch transferred to Mid Cap on Nasdaq Stockholm

On January 4, 2016, the Class B RaySearch share (RAY B) was transferred from the Small Cap to the Mid Cap segment of Nasdaq Stockholm, following Nasdaq's annual review of Nordic market capitalization segments.

RayStation 5 launched, with support for carbon-ion treatment planning and more

In February, it was announced that version 5 of the RayStation treatment planning system had been launched for clinical use in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and will be launched in most major markets during the first half of 2016. RayStation 5 is the only commercially available treatment planning system that offers support for carbon-ion therapy – the most advanced form of radiation therapy. RayStation 5 also offers several new features, such as robust optimization based on 4D-CT scans, and Plan Explorer – a treatment planning tool that combines automated treatment planning and highperformance algorithms with the ability to generate a range of delivery techniques in a manner that presents completely new opportunities for determining the most effective treatment for each patient.

Long-term collaboration agreement with the University of California San Francisco regarding RayCare

In February, it was announced that RaySearch had signed a long-term collaboration agreement with the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) regarding the RayCare oncology information system that RaySearch is developing. "UCSF is the perfect partner for this development. The university is a world-leading institution for cancer treatment, and also offers an extensive and diverse set of treatment machines and other systems, providing a challenging and ideal environment for the development of RayCare," says Johan Löf.

RayStation has continued to secure more major orders

In the second quarter, it was announced that RaySearch and RayStation had secured several major orders from some of the world's largest and most respected cancer clinics, including:

  • The University of California San Francisco (UCSF), which is substantially expanding its RayStation platform and is making a transition to using RayStation as its sole treatment planning system for all linac-based treatment;
  • The Miami Cancer Institute, which is the first proton therapy center in South Florida;
  • The Holland Particle Therapy Centre (Holland PTC), which is the first proton therapy center in the Netherlands; and

The same accounting policies and measurement bases applied in the most recent Annual Report have been used to prepare the Group and Parent Company accounts. New or revised IFRS reporting requirements for 2016 have not impacted RaySearch during the period.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

As a Group operating globally in multiple jurisdictions, RaySearch is exposed to various risks and uncertainties, such as market risks, operational and legal risks, as well as financial risks related to changes in foreign exchange rates, liquidity and financing capability.

ABOUT RAYSEARCH

RaySearch Laboratories is a medical technology company that develops advanced software solutions for improved radiation therapy of cancer. RaySearch develops and markets the RayStation treatment planning system to clinics all over the world and distributes products through licensing agreements with leading medical technology companies. The company is also developing the next-generation oncology information system, RayCare, which comprises a new product area for RaySearch, and which will be launched in 2017.

BUSINESS CONCEPT

RaySearch's business concept is to contribute to the advancement of cancer care by developing innovative software solutions that improve the quality of life for cancer patients and save lives.

BUSINESS MODEL

RaySearch's revenue is generated as customers pay an initial license fee for the right to use RaySearch's software and an annual service fee for access to updates and support. The RayStation treatment planning system is being developed at RaySearch's head office in Stockholm, and is distributed and supported by the company's global marketing organization.

STRATEGIES

RaySearch's strategy is to offer innovative software solutions for improved cancer care. Essentially, a radiation therapy clinic needs two software platforms for its operations: an information system and a treatment planning system. Through RayStation and the planned launch of RayCare in 2017, RaySearch will further strengthen its position and continue to grow with high profitability. The strategy is based on strong focus on software development, leading functionality, broad support for different types of treatment techniques and radiation therapy machines, as well as high-level investment in research and development.
