CEO COMMENTS

THE SUCCESS WITH RAYSTATION CONTINUES

During the first quarter, the order intake for RayStation increased with over 5 percent to SEK 73 M (69), despite a very strong first quarter in 2015. Order intake during the first quarter of 2014 was SEK 35 M, which resulted in an increase in the order intake of over 97 percent during the first quarter of 2015 and the average increase over two years was 45 percent. Also for the rest of the year, there are good prospects for strong growth. To date this year, we have experienced major sales success in Europe and Asia, and we expect strong volume growth in North America as

we move forward.

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 multicriteria 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 radiation therapy machines, and enables a more efficient use of the machines. 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.

At year-end, we launched RayStation 5, the only commercial system currently available that supports carbon-ion radiation therapy, which is the most advanced form of radiation therapy. The most groundbreaking new feature in RayStation 5 is Plan Explorer, a unique tool that allows the system to automatically generate a large number of treatment plans for a variety of treatment techniques and devices, which are selected by the user on the basis of the clinical objectives. Plan Explorer contributes to both better patient care – due to the overall higher quality of treatment plans – and to a more efficient clinic.

The keen interest in RayStation was also apparent at the 2016 European Society for Radiotherapy & Oncology (ESTRO) Congress in Turin in early May. The number of product demonstrations was about 20 percent higher than last year and more than 420 people attended our lunch symposium.

HIGH VOLUME GROWTH FOR RAYSTATION

We see continued high volume growth for RayStation, which represented about 85 percent of our first-quarter sales. During the quarter, revenues from RayStation increased with 29 percent to SEK 80.8 M (62.8), while sales via partners decreased to SEK 14.6 M (25.0). Overall, revenues increased with 8.7 percent to SEK 95.4 M (87.7). Operating profit decreased to SEK 23.4 M (33.1), mainly due to negative currency effects and reduced sales via partners. These results are still satisfactory, considering how much we are investing in both new markets and product development.

THE 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 oncology disciplines – 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 Medical Center in Groningen, the University of California, San Francisco, and the Iridium Kankernetwerk. Several additional world-leading business partners will be joining us during the year, and we are planning a public demonstration of the system at the 2016 ASTRO Annual Meeting in Boston at the end of September.

CLEAR PLAN AND SOLID BASE FOR CONTINUED FOCUS

Our sales and earnings will continue to vary from quarter to quarter, since 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 ten 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.

At the end of March, 303 cancer clinics in 24 countries had 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 over 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.

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 the 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 high-performance 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.

Conversion of shares

In March 2016, 750 Class A shares were converted to Class B shares at the request of shareholders. The total number of votes in RaySearch thereafter amounted to 126,641,349. The total number of registered shares in RaySearch is 34,282,773, of which 10,262,064 are Class A shares and 24,020,709 Class B shares.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

SALES AND EARNINGS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2016

Revenues and currency effects

During the first quarter of 2016, sales increased with 8.7 percent year-on-year to SEK 95.4 M (87.7). Sales consist of license revenues from sales of the RayStation treatment planning system, sales of software modules via partners, and support revenues. In the first quarter of 2016, license revenues amounted to SEK 83.3 M (77.1), and support revenues increased to SEK 12.1 M (10.6). The sales increase was largely due to a significant rise in sales of RayStation.

Rolling Full-year
Revenues Q1-15 Q2-15 Q3-15 Q4-15 Q1-16 12 months 2015
License revenues – RayStation 59.9 49.5 70.5 105.0 74.0 299.1 285.0

Total sales 87.7 77.3 100.6 132.0 95.4 405.3 397.6
Growth, %, corresponding period 62.5% 49.1% 40.5% 22.4% 8.7% 27.1% 39.5%
Growth, %, corres. period, unchanged currencies 37.2% 27.3% 18.6% 14.5% 8.7% 15.9% 32.9%

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 with 8.7 percent year-on-year.

During the first quarter of 2016, revenues in USD were recognized at an average exchange rate of SEK 8.46, compared with SEK 8.34 in the year-earlier period. During the first quarter of 2016, revenues in EUR were recognized at an average exchange rate of SEK 9.32, compared with SEK 9.38 in the year-earlier period. Accordingly, currency effects had no impact on sales.

A sensitivity analysis of currency exposure indicates that the effect of a +/-10 percent change in the average USD exchange rate on operating profit for the first quarter of 2016 would be +/- SEK 22.4 M and that the corresponding effect of a +/-10 percent change in the average EUR exchange rate would be +/- SEK 6.2 M. The company pursues the financial policy established by the Board of Directors, whereby exchange-rate changes are not hedged.

Order intake

Order intake excluding service agreements amounted to SEK 81.9 M (86.3), of which RayStation accounted for SEK 72.6 M (69.1). At March 31, 2016, the order backlog for RayStation totaled SEK 47.1 M (34.3).

Rolling Full-year
Order intake Q1-15 Q2-15 Q3-15 Q4-15 Q1-16 12 months 2015
License order intake – RayStation 69.1 55.3 89.6 102.9 72.6 320.4 316.9

Order backlog – RayStation, end of the period 34.3 40.2 59.3 49.1 47.1 47.1 49.1

Expenses and profit

During the quarter, operating profit totaled SEK 23.4 M (33.1), representing an operating margin of 24.5 percent (37.7). Operating expenses, excluding exchange-rate gains and losses, increased with SEK 6.3 M to SEK 64.2 M compared to the year-earlier period.

The year-on-year earnings decline was largely due to currency effects and reduced partner revenues. In addition, expansion of the global marketing organization continued, leading to higher costs for marketing and for personnel in sales, service and administration, which were not fully offset by increased sales. Other operating income and expenses pertain to exchange-rate gains and losses, with the net of these, in the first quarter of 2016, amounting to a loss of SEK 2.6 M (gain: 7.8).This was mainly due to the major portion of accounts receivable denominated in USD, which weakened in the first quarter compared with the end of the fourth quarter.

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, for which operating expenses have thereby risen to SEK 13.3 M (8.9).

At March 31, 2016, some 103 (87) employees were engaged in research and development. Research and development costs include payroll costs, consulting fees, computer equipment and premises. Before capitalization and amortization of development expenses, research and development costs totaled SEK 30.6 M (28.4). In the first quarter of 2016, capitalized development expenses amounted to SEK 24.8 M (16.5) and in the same period, amortization of capitalized development expenses amounted to SEK 13.7 M (12.8). After adjustments for capitalization and amortization of development expenses, research and development costs totaled SEK 19.5 M (24.7).

In the first quarter of 2016, amortization of intangible fixed assets totaled SEK 16.5 M (13.6), of which intangible fixed assets accounted for SEK 13.7 M (12.8) and tangible fixed assets for SEK 2.8 M (0.8). Amortization and depreciation primarily pertained to capitalized development expenses.

Profit after tax for the first quarter of 2016 amounted to SEK 17.8 M (25.0), which meant that earnings per share before and after dilution declined to SEK 0.52 (0.73).

Geographic distribution of license revenues

In the first quarter of 2016, license revenues were distributed as follows: North America, 26 percent (42); Asia, 15 percent (18); Europe and the rest of the world, 59 percent (40).

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCING

In the first quarter of 2016, cash flow from operating activities declined to SEK 21.9 M (38.7), primarily due to lower earnings and increased working capital. Cash flow from investing activities was a negative SEK 26.1 M (neg: 30.2), of which investments in tangible fixed assets accounted for a negative SEK 1.3 M (neg: 13.7). Investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to a negative SEK 24.8 M (neg: 16.5) and comprised capitalized development expenses. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to a negative SEK 1.0 M (neg: 0.7) and comprised finance lease payments.

Cash flow for the period amounted to a negative SEK 5.2 M (pos: 7.8) and at March 31, 2016, cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 54.6 M (64.5). At March 31, 2016, current receivables totaled SEK 207.0 M (173.8). The receivables mainly comprise accounts receivable and the increase was largely due to sales growth. However, the accounts receivable to sales ratio declined.

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 expires on November 4, 2017. Within the frame of the revolving loan, an amount of SEK 25 M has been borrowed until February 2017.

Of the company's credit facility of SEK 25 M, SEK 4.0 M has been blocked as collateral for bank guarantees totaling EUR 0.4 M 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 0.09 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.

INVESTMENTS

In the first quarter of 2016, investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 24.8 M (16.5) and consisted of capitalized development expenses for RayStation and RayCare. Investments in tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 1.3 M (13.7).

EMPLOYEES

At the end of the first quarter, the Group had 180 (142) employees, of whom 150 were based in Sweden, and 30 in foreign subsidiaries. The average number of employees during the January-March period of 2016 was 177 (139).

PARENT COMPANY

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. Development expenses and adjustments related to finance leases are capitalized in the Group, but not in the Parent Company. The Parent Company's current receivables mainly comprise receivables from Group companies and accounts receivable.

SEASONAL VARIATIONS

Revenues from RaySearch are subject to seasonal variations that are typical for the industry, whereby the fourth quarter is the strongest, while the second quarter is usually relatively weak.
