Fiscal Year 2027 Financial Guidance

As the Company enters fiscal 2027, management believes Accuray is operating from a position of greater strength than a year ago. The Company expects continued growth in service revenue, improved service margins driven by pricing optimization and operational efficiencies, ongoing operating expense discipline, and continued benefits from transformation initiatives. Strategic partnerships are also expected to play an increasingly important role in expanding capabilities while enabling the Company to remain focused on its core competencies.

Given ongoing uncertainty related to geopolitical developments, international trade policy, tariff impacts, conditions in China and the Middle East, and broader macroeconomic factors, the Company is not providing formal revenue or Adjusted EBITDA guidance for fiscal 2027 at this time. Management believes the actions taken during fiscal 2026 have strengthened the business and improved the Company's ability to execute and create long-term value for shareholders.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Accuray reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and the rules of the SEC. To supplement its financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, Accuray uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA.

Accuray has supplemented its GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, changes to the fair value of warrant liability, and restructuring charges ("Adjusted EBITDA"). The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA also excludes certain non-recurring, irregular and one-time items. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of the company and facilitates a meaningful comparison of results for current periods with previous operating results. A reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) to non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the schedules below.

There are limitations in using these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
