Accuray Announces Results for First Quarter Fiscal 2012

November 8, 2011 at 5:01 PM EST
Q1 Highlights: Revenue Growth and Service Gross Margin Improvement

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --

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).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, with respect to the three months ended September 30, 2011. "GAAP" refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Accuray closed the acquisition of TomoTherapy on June 10, 2011 and TomoTherapy's operations since that date are included in Accuray's consolidated results of operations. Accounting for the impact of this acquisition has resulted in changes to the value of assets and liabilities from the amounts reflected by TomoTherapy prior to the acquisition and the creation of incremental assets and liabilities including intangible assets for developed technology and backlog, and unfavorable lease obligations. These changes have impacted revenues and expenses recorded in Accuray's consolidated statement of operations since the close of the acquisition. In addition, Accuray has incurred significant expenses as a result of the acquisition, some of which are one-time charges while others are expected to be incurred over fiscal 2012 for the integration of TomoTherapy.

To reflect the on-going core results of operations of the Company, including adjusting for the impact of the acquisition of TomoTherapy, the Company has presented its operating results on an adjusted non- GAAP basis as well as in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended September 30, 2011. We use the following measures, which are not calculated in accordance with GAAP: non-GAAP revenues, non-GAAP cost of revenues, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net loss attributable to stockholders, non-GAAP net loss per basic share, and non-GAAP net loss per diluted share. The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to and facilitates additional analysis by investors. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its own budgeting and financial planning, as well as evaluating management performance for compensation purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, nor superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in conformity with GAAP. Further, our reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP operating results are presented solely to facilitate a reader's understanding of the impact of the various adjustments to our GAAP operating results, individually and in the aggregate, and are not intended to place any undue prominence on our non-GAAP operating results. For comparison purposes, we have also presented our pro forma results for the three months ended September 30, 2010 based on the combined total of the financial results, previously reported by Accuray and TomoTherapy as separate companies. The pro forma results did not include any impacts on revenues or expenses related to the acquisition during this period. Please refer to the pro forma financial results tables starting on page 9 for additional details.

(B) As of the close of the acquisition, TomoTherapy's deferred service revenue was written up to fair value. As a result, deferred service revenue recognized by Accuray during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $5.1 million higher than the amount that would have been recognized by TomoTherapy if the acquisition had not occurred.

(D) Services cost of revenues included the following charges and reductions to expenses arising from the acquisition of TomoTherapy: $3.6 million charge due to the write up of service related inventory on hand at the time of the acquisition from cost basis to fair value, $1.3 million reduction in expense due to the roll out of fair value increases in warranty and loss contracts reserves for the periods of service consumed, $0.1 million charge for property, plant and equipment revaluation, and $1.2 million charge due to employee severance and retention expenses.
