SUNNYVALE, Calif., November 8, 2011 – Accuray Incorporated (Nasdaq: ARAY), the premier radiation oncology company, announced today financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 that ended September 30, 2011. On June 10, 2011, Accuray completed the acquisition of TomoTherapy. As a result, the first quarter financial data presented reflect the consolidation of both Accuray and TomoTherapy. Non-GAAP results are provided to enhance understanding of Accuray’s ongoing core results of operations. For the first quarter of fiscal 2012, Accuray reported total consolidated GAAP revenue of $100.5 million and non-GAAP total revenue of $95.7 million. By comparison, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 the sum of the revenue reported by Accuray and TomoTherapy as separate companies if combined totaled $81.7 million. Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was driven by strong TomoTherapy System installations.
The consolidated GAAP gross profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was 31.7 percent for products and 13.9 percent for services. The consolidated non-GAAP gross profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was 52.4 percent for products and 12.1 percent for services. Positive service gross margins were driven by improvement in the TomoTherapy service business, in addition to one-time service revenue items.
Consolidated GAAP net loss attributable to stockholders for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $26.5 million, or $0.38 per share. Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $11.0 million or $0.16 per share. By comparison, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 the sum of the net loss reported by Accuray and TomoTherapy as separate companies if combined totaled $16.6 million.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, $39.2 million of new system orders were added to backlog, resulting in a total system backlog of $270.8 million, a decrease of 6.2 percent from the prior quarter. Current agreements with some distributors of our TomoTherapy systems do not require deposits to accompany system orders. Accordingly, orders placed by such distributors since July 1, 2011 without a deposit have not been entered into backlog.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, 24 units were shipped and 16 were installed, increasing the worldwide Accuray installed base to 598 systems.
“We are pleased with the steady progress being made with integrating the two companies, highlighted by improving service gross margins,” said Euan Thomson, president and chief executive officer of Accuray Incorporated. “The strong revenue generated in the first quarter is reflective of the growing interest in both CyberKnife and TomoTherapy technologies.”
Accuray’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $143.4 million as of September 30, 2011.
Outlook
The following statement is forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. During fiscal year 2012 Accuray expects that revenue will be in the range of $400 million to $415 million (non-GAAP) or $409 million to $424 million (GAAP).
