Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Summary

 

 

“Our second quarter performance continues to reflect the positive momentum our business is making despite the headwinds created by the COVID-19 environment, said Josh Levine, President and CEO of Accuray. “Highlights from our second quarter performance include the beginning of system revenue conversion related to the Type A radiotherapy licenses in China as well as receiving 510(k) FDA clearance of our ClearRT Helical kVCT Imaging platform for the Radixact System. We are pleased with the continued resilience and commercial cadence that our business is exhibiting as well as the recent product innovation/upgrades coming through our development pipeline. We believe the additions of the Cyberknife S7 System, Synchrony on Radixact, and ClearRT Helical kVCT Imaging to our portfolio will have meaningful clinical impact for our customers and we look forward to the adoption of these important features and the functional improvement they represent in clinical practice.”

Financial Guidance

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Accuray has supplemented its GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, gain on contribution to equity method investment in joint venture and stock-based compensation (“adjusted EBITDA”). 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 (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is provided in the schedules below.

 

There are limitations in using 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.
