SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE FIRST QUARTER

• In January, RaySearch announced that the number of radiotherapy clinics in Japan using RayStation for dose planning has now passed 200. Japan is RaySearch's second largest market in terms of number of clinics. Since its launch in 2009, RayStation has been sold to more than 900 cancer centers worldwide. The most RayStation clinics, roughly 250, are in the USA and in third place, after Japan, is China, where around 80 clinics have RayStation.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

  • In April, RaySearch Laboratories announces that the number of clinics worldwide that have purchased the RayStation for ion radiation therapy dose planning has passed 100. The latest of these customers is Moffitt Cancer Center in Florida, USA, which will add proton therapy dose planning to its existing RayStation infrastructure, which has been in clinical use since 2019.
  • On April 26, RaySearch announces preliminary figures for the first quarter of 2023, which mean that RaySearch is in breach of a solvency ratio and an EBITDA-based covenant in the company's unused credit facility with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (publ). A waiver has been obtained meaning that the credit facilitites are fully available.
  • In May, RaySearch announces that Yonsei Cancer Center in South Korea has treated its first patient where RayStation and RayCare were used for radiotherapy with carbon ions.
  • RaySearch announced in May that the strategic partnership with BEBIG Medical, which began in 2018, has been extended through a memorandum of the agreement. BEBIG Medical is a leading global supplier of high-quality radiotherapy products and within the new agreement the companies aim to develop more comprehensive solutions, to achieve more effective treatments and better outcomes. BEBIG Medical is also a distributor for the Chinese company Shinvas linear accelerators and will sell those globally outside of China, equipped with RaySearch software RayStation and RayCare.

CEO COMMENTS

STRONG START OF THE YEAR

It is gratifying to note that the net sales for the first quarter was the highest ever for a Q1. It amounted to SEK 230 million, an increase of 11 percent (4 percent at unchanged exchange rates) compared to the previous record net sales for the corresponding period in 2022. In addition, this is the second highest net sales for a quarter ever. Furthermore, cash flow reached SEK 85 million and EBIT amounted to SEK 24 million, corresponding to an operating margin of 10 percent. Admittedly, the operating margin is higher than for the full year 2022, but still significantly lower than our long-term goal. The operating margin was negatively affected by currency translation effects, increased rental costs as a result of inflation, and higher costs for the finance function. The second half of 2022 and the

beginning of 2023 have clearly demonstrated a reopening of the market, which has had a positive effect on RaySearch's net sales. We are now experiencing momentum and see good opportunities for continued growth. To take advantage of this potential, we have intensified our marketing activities, which has also led to higher costs.

We usually point out that RaySearch's order intake can vary significantly between quarters depending on the timing of single larger orders and in this quarter order intake decreased by 24 percent. However, it is worth mentioning that the net sales for the first quarter of this year is not based on any major orders at all (the largest single revenue was SEK 11 million) but primarily consists of a combination of revenue from many small and normal-sized orders as well as support revenue.

A GROWING BASE OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS

By the end of 2022, the number of RayStation clinics in Japan passed 200, while the total number of RayStation clinics worldwide exceeded 900. In the first quarter of the year, another important milestone was achieved, namely that more than 100 clinics worldwide have purchased RayStation for ion (primarily proton) radiation therapy, which corresponds to over 80 percent of the world market. RaySearch has by far the most advanced treatment planning system for ion therapy planning and has for a long time been – and continues to be – at the forefront with continuous releases of new and cutting-edge functionality.

A NEW COLLABORATION AGREEMENT SIGNED AT ESTRO

A few days ago, we returned from this year's edition of ESTRO, one of our industry's main trade fairs. Like last year, we saw great interest in our products and carried out many demonstrations. It was very rewarding to meet customers and partners, both existing and potential, to discuss the latest innovations in radiotherapy. During ESTRO, RaySearch signed an agreement with BEBIG Medical, which expands the strategic partnership the companies entered into in 2018, when the aim was to integrate RayStation and RayCare with BEBIG's brachytherapy system. Through the new agreement, the collaboration within brachytherapy is deepened and expanded to other areas within radiation therapy. BEBIG Medical is also a distributor for the Chinese company Shinvas linear accelerators and will sell those globally outside of China, equipped with RaySearch software RayStation and RayCare.

UNITERT – AN INITIATIVE FOR INNOVATIVE COLLABORATIONS

UniteRT is a new, unique collaboration between seven leading radiotherapy stakeholders that was launch at ESTRO. Its purpose is to strive for patients to have access to the best possible care, regardless of provider, throughout their treatment. This is made possible through the commitment of the members of UniteRT to offer healthcare providers the flexibility of choice to combine the best equipment from different suppliers without sacrificing quality, patient safety or efficiency. This is also a key factor in promoting innovation within the industry as new players risk being excluded if clinics are forced to choose all of their equipment from a single supplier. We look forward to participating in this important initiative and contributing to the improvement cancer care.The reception at ESTRO was very positive and many more companies will join the collaboration within short.

WELL POSITIONED FOR CONTINUED GROWTH

The effects of the pandemic have subsided in the vast majority of markets. Given all the positive signals from the market, I am optimistic about the future. We will continue along the route we have set, focusing on sales, product development and cost control. To leverage the opportunities that the improved market conditions offer, we have stepped up our sales activities and terminated the hiring freeze. With this strategy, combined with a quarter with strong numbers and a strong order backlog (SEK 1,903 million), we have a good foundation for continued growth and increased operating margin.

Stockholm, May 17, 2023

Johan Löf CEO and founder

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

RaySearch operates in a market with uneven order flows where large individual orders can have a substantial impact on revenue recognition between the quarters and, because the company has limited (less than 10 percent) variable costs for license revenue, operating profit is affected by an amount that is nearly as high. For this reason, a longer perspective than a few quarters should be taken.

ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BACKLOG

In the first quarter of 2023, order intake decreased 24.2 percent year-on-year to SEK 206.6 M (272.5). License order intake decreased 27.9 percent to SEK 94.8 M (131.4) while order intake for support decreased 46.8 percent to SEK 59.2 M (111.2).

Total order backlog at the end of the period 1,903.3 1,940.1 1,715.2 1,540.3 1,488.7

At March 31, 2023, the total order backlog was SEK 1,903.3 M (1,488.7), which is expected to generate revenue of approximately SEK 521.0 M over the next 12 months. The remaining amount in the order backlog mainly pertains to support obligations, which are primarily expected to generate revenue over a subsequent four-year period.

REVENUE

In the first quarter of 2023, net sales rose 10.6 percent year-on-year to SEK 230.2 M (208.1). The change was attributable to higher sales of support and hardware revenue. The increase in net sales at unchanged currencies was 3.7 percent (19.0).

Support revenue rose 13.2 percent to SEK 86.8 M (76.6), accounting for 37.7 percent (36.8) of net sales during the first quarter. Hardware sales, which have a limited profit margin, rose 76.4 percent to SEK 29.3 M (16.6). Excluding hardware, sales rose 4.9 percent year-on-year.

In the first quarter of 2023, net sales had the following geographic distribution: North America, 40 percent (39); Asia, 21 percent (29); Europe and the rest of the world, 39 percent (32).

OPERATING PROFIT

In the first quarter of 2023, operating profit totaled SEK 23.7 M (29.6), representing an operating margin of 10.3 percent (14.2). The decreased profit is mainly explained by increased selling and administrative costs as a result of a more normalized level of activity compared to the previous year, which was still affected by the pandemic, and that the finance function has continued to have a high degree of external resources. In the first quarter, operating expenses increased 15.6 percent to SEK 206.5 M (178.6).

In the first quarter, the net of exchange gains and losses amounted to SEK -3.5 M (4.9) since a large proportion of the Group's receivables are denominated in USD and EUR, where the USD weakened against the SEK in the first quarter

compared with the end of the fourth quarter. Adjusted for these

currency translation effects, operating profit would have totaled SEK 27.2 M (24.7) in the first quarter and operating expenses would have increased 10.9 percent (14.8).

Currency effects

Consolidated sales and earnings are impacted by USD/EUR to SEK exchange rates, since most sales are invoiced in USD and EUR, while most costs are denominated in SEK.

At unchanged exchange rates, the change in sales was 3.7 percent in the first quarter of 2023, compared with the yearearlier period.

A sensitivity analysis of the Group's currency exposure shows that a 1-percentage point change in the USD exchange rate against the SEK would have impacted consolidated operating profit by approximately +/- SEK 0.6 M in the first quarter of 2023, while a corresponding change in the EUR exchange rate would have impacted consolidated operating profit by approximately +/- SEK 0.4 M.

The Group follows the financial policy established by the Board, whereby exchange-rate fluctuations are not hedged.

Capitalization of development costs

RaySearch is a research and development-oriented company that makes significant investments in the development of software solutions for improved cancer treatment. At March 31, 2023, some 196 employees (199) were engaged in research and development, corresponding to 53 percent (50) of the total number of employees.

In 2023, RaySearch continued to invest in both existing products and future products. Overall, research and development costs decreased 9.5 percent to SEK 58.2 M (64.3) in the first quarter of 2023, corresponding to 25 percent (31) of the Group's net sales.

Development costs of SEK 48.2 M (52.4) were capitalized, down 8.0 percent, corresponding to 83 percent (81) of total research and development costs.

Amortization of capitalized development costs decreased 11.1 percent to SEK 40.0 M (45.0), the decrease was attributable to the fact that several activated projects were fully amortized by the end of 2022.

Research and development costs (after adjustments for capitalization and amortization of development costs) decreased 12.1 percent to SEK 50.1 M (57.0).

Amortization and depreciation

In the first quarter of 2023, total amortization and depreciation decreased 3.4 percent to SEK 67.7 M (70.0), of which amortization of intangible fixed assets accounted for SEK 40.1 M (45.0), mainly related to capitalized development costs. Depreciation of tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 27.6 M (25.0).

PROFIT AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

In the first quarter of 2023, profit after tax was SEK 17.6 M (19.3), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 0.51 (0.56) before and after dilution.

Tax expense for the quarter was SEK 4.1 M (6.9), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 18.8 percent (26.2). The lower tax rate is mainly attributable to deferred tax related to temporary diffences in the US subsididary.

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY

In the first quarter of 2023, cash flow from operating activities was SEK 151.2 M (125.8) and the change was largely attributable to a decrease in working capital, which mainly comprises various types of receivables from customers, such as accounts receivable and current and long-term unbilled customer receivables where payment plans have been drawn up.

At the end of the period, the company's total customer receivables amounted to 43 percent (46) of net sales over the past 12 months. Working capital amounted to -11 percent (2) of net sales over the past 12 months.

In the first quarter, cash flow from investing activities was SEK -50.6 M (-60.6). Investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -48.4 M (-52.4) and consisted of capitalized development costs for the company's products – RayStation, RayCare, RayCommand and RayIntelligence. Investments in tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK -3.9 M (-8.2), mainly related to investments in the head office in Stockholm.

Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -16.2 M (-29.9) for the first quarter of 2023, primarily related to amorization of leasing. Last year an overdraft facility of 21 MSEK was repaid.

Cash flow for the first quarter amounted to SEK 84.5 M (35.3). At March 31, 2023, consolidated cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 243.7 M (139.8).

FINANCIAL POSITION

At March 31, 2023, RaySearch's total assets amounted to SEK 1,885 M (1,728) and the equity/assets ratio was 35.8 percent (37.5). The change in total assets and the equity/assets ratio was largely attributable to an increase in right-of-use assets related to rented premises following the granting of access to the new head office premises.

Current receivables amounted to SEK 411.2 M (376.7). The receivables mainly comprise various types of customer receivables.

RaySearch's credit facilities comprise a revolving loan facility of up to SEK 150 M maturing in Mars 2025 and an overdraft facility of SEK 50 M, renewed with 12 months yearly on December 31st. Chattel mortgages amounted to SEK 100 M. On March 31, 2023, short-term loans totaling SEK 0 M (0) had been raised under the company's revolving loan facility and SEK 0 M (0) of the credit facility had been drawn. The result in the first quarter of 2023 meant that RaySearch breached a solvency ratio and an EBITDA-based covenant in the company's credit facility with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (publ). The total credit facility amounts to SEK 200 million, of which SEK 0 million has been utilized. RaySearch has received a so-called waiver for these covenant breaches and is thus entitled to use the above-mentioned credit facility.

On March 31, 2022, the Group's net debt amounted to SEK 296.3 M (397.0). The change is mainly due to increased cash and cash equivalents.

EMPLOYEES

At the end of the first quarter, the Group had 373 (389) employees, of whom 268 (284) were based in Sweden, and 105 (105) in foreign subsidiaries.

PARENT COMPANY

RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ) is the Parent Company of the RaySearch Group. Since the Parent Company's operations are consistent with the Group's operations in all material respects, the comments for the Group are also largely relevant for the Parent Company.

Differences in profitability between the Parent Company and the Group are attributable to the Parent Company accounting for a relatively high proportion of operating expenses, and to the capitalization of development costs being recognized in the Group but not in the Parent Company. The Parent Company was also not affected by the changes pertaining to lease recognition under IFRS 16, and instead continues to recognize lease payments as operating lease payments. This reduces operating profit compared with if IFRS 16 had been applied.

The Parent Company's current receivables mainly comprise receivables from Group companies and external customers.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE FIRST QUARTER

No other significant events than mentioned previously in the report.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

No other significant events after the reporting period than mentioned previously in the report.

NOTES, GROUP

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those described in the 2022 Annual Report for RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ), which is available at www.raysearchlabs.com RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ) is the Parent Company of the RaySearch Group. The Parent Company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The Parent Company's operations are consistent with the Group's operations in all material respects. Differences in profitability between the Parent Company and the Group are attributable to the Parent Company accounting for a relatively high proportion of operating expenses, and to the capitalization of development costs being recognized in the Group but not in the Parent Company. The Parent Company was also not affected by IFRS 16, and will continue to recognize lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term. This reduces operating profit compared with if IFRS 16 had been applied.The Parent Company's current receivables mainly comprise receivables from Group companies and external customers.

NOTE 2 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

RaySearch conducts sales of goods and services in various regions. Revenue from sales of licenses and hardware is recognized in profit or loss at a point in time, while revenue from sales of training and support is recognized over time.

NOTE 3 ESTIMATES

Preparation of the interim report requires that company management make estimates that affect the carrying amounts. The actual outcome could deviate from these estimates. The critical sources of uncertainty in the estimates are the same as those in the most recent Annual Report.

NOTE 4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

RaySearch's financial assets and liabilities comprise billed and unbilled receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accrued expenses, accounts payable, bank loans and lease liabilities. Long-term receivables and lease liabilities are discounted, while other financial assets and liabilities have short maturities. Accordingly, the fair values of all financial instruments are deemed to correspond approximately to their carrying amounts.

The provision for expected credit losses is a weighted assessment of payment history, reports from external credit rating agencies and other customer-specific information. At the end of March 2023, the credit loss provision amounted to SEK 45.4 M (40.0), corresponding to 13 percent (13) of total customer receivables.

NOTE 5 RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

There were no transactions between RaySearch and related parties with any material impact on the company's position and earnings during the period.

The company's strategy is based on a strong focus on innovative software development with leading functionality, support for efficient workflows – including via digitization and automation with machine learning – broad support for a wide range of treatment modes and radiation therapy devices, close collaboration with world-leading cancer centers and industrial partners, and extensive investment in research and development.

BUSINESS MODEL

RaySearch's main revenue is generated by customers paying an initial license fee for the right to use RaySearch's software and an annually recurring service fee for access to updates and support. All software systems are developed at RaySearch's head office in Stockholm, and distributed and supported by the company's global marketing organization.
