SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Accuray Incorporated ARAY today reported its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 ended March 31, 2019.
Fiscal Third Quarter Highlights
- Gross orders increased 12 percent year over year to $83.6 million
- Ending backlog increased 5 percent year over year to $493.9 million
- Revenue increased 3 percent year over year to $103.2 million
- Operating expense decreased 6 percent year over year to $37.6 million
- China joint venture granted business license
"We continued to execute our commercial plan during the third quarter and generated a 12 percent increase in gross order growth," said Joshua H. Levine, President & Chief Executive Officer. "This was our fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit gross order growth, which was driven by continued momentum in China as well as competitive system replacements. In addition, we substantially completed the $15 million cost savings initiative announced in our fiscal second quarter and expect to realize the full benefit from this effort in fiscal 2020.
"During our third quarter, we made progress in operationalizing our China joint venture agreement signed in late January as well as executing our product development roadmap. The roadmap is focused on increasing the speed and utility of our devices while extending our historical strength in the precision of our treatments. Our VOLO Optimizer software, which reduces CyberKnife treatment times by up to 50%, has already been deployed on approximately 30% of our compatible CyberKnife installed base. Additionally, our Synchrony motion synchronization capability software for Radixact will be launched at ESTRO next week. Combined, we believe our strategies are positioning Accuray for consistent long-term growth."
Fiscal Third Quarter Results
Total revenue was $103.2 million compared to $99.8 million in the prior fiscal year third quarter. Product revenue totaled $46.5 million compared to $43.2 million in the prior fiscal year third quarter, while service revenue totaled $56.8 million compared to $56.6 million in the prior fiscal year third quarter.
Total gross profit for the 2019 fiscal third quarter was $40.5 million, or 39.2 percent of revenue, comprised of product gross margin of 41.5 percent and service gross margin of 37.3 percent. This compares to total gross profit of $36.2 million, or 36.3 percent of revenue, comprised of product gross margin of 41.4 percent and service gross margin of 32.4 percent for the prior fiscal year third quarter. The increase in service gross margin was primarily driven by higher parts consumption in the prior year period.
Total operating expenses were $37.6 million, a decrease of 6 percent compared with $40.1 million in the prior fiscal year third quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by lower headcount costs, and a $0.8 million non-cash benefit related to a facility lease termination.
Net loss was $1.2 million, or $0.01 per share, for the 2019 fiscal third quarter, compared to a net loss of $8.9 million, or $0.10 per share, for the prior fiscal year third quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA for the 2019 fiscal third quarter was $6.7 million, compared to $1.4 million in the prior fiscal year third quarter.
Total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term restricted cash were $64.6 million as of March 31, 2019 compared to $64.6 million as of December 31, 2018.
Fiscal Nine Month Results
For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, gross product orders totaled $245.2 million compared to $208.5 million for the same prior fiscal year period. Ending product backlog was $493.8 million, approximately 5 percent higher than backlog at the end of the prior fiscal year third quarter.
Total revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was $301.4 million compared to $291.1 million in the same prior fiscal year period. Product revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 totaled $136.0 million compared to $129.3 million in the same prior fiscal year period, while service revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 totaled $165.3 million compared to $161.8 million in the same prior fiscal year period. The increase in product revenue was primarily due to an increase in sales of Radixact systems. The increase in service revenue is primarily driven by continued installed base growth.
Total gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was $116.7 million, or 38.7 percent of revenue, comprised of product gross margin of 40.6 percent and service gross margin of 37.2 percent. This compares to total gross profit of $113.7 million, or 39.1 percent of revenue, comprised of product gross margin of 42.5 percent and service gross margin of 36.3 percent for the same prior fiscal year period. The decrease in product gross margin stemmed from changes in product mix, with fewer CyberKnife systems sold in the first nine months of fiscal 2019.
Total operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 were $119.4 million, a decrease of 1 percent compared with $120.6 million in the same prior fiscal year period.
Net loss was $15.0 million, or $0.17 per share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, compared to a net loss of $23.0 million, or $0.27 per share, for the same prior fiscal year period.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was $14.8 million, compared to $9.3 million in the prior fiscal year period.
2019 Financial Guidance
The company is updating its fiscal year 2019 guidance provided on October 30, 2018. Details are summarized as follows:
- Revenue: Product revenue growth is expected to range between 4 and 8 percent and service revenue is expected to grow approximately 2 percent, resulting in total revenue of between $415 million to $425 million, which would represent 3 to 5 percent growth year over year.
- Adjusted EBITDA: $23.0 million to $29.0 million, which would represent growth of approximately 35 percent to 70 percent year over year.
- Achievement of the higher end of the range for revenue and adjusted EBITDA is dependent on the timing of Class A and Class B user license issuances in China and conversion of those orders to revenue.
Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes amortization of intangibles, depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, net and provision for income taxes. For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release, please see "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Accuray has supplemented its GAAP net loss with a non-GAAP measure of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, impairment charges, expenses related to a cost savings initiative, and gain on lease termination ("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 loss (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is provided in the financial statement tables included in the schedule below.
There are limitations in using this non-GAAP financial measure because it is 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.
