FIRST QUARTER (JANUARY-MARCH 2026)
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE QUARTER
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE QUARTER
CEO and founder Johan Löf comments:
“Customer activity was high across all markets in the first quarter, and we secured several strategically important deals, including three new RayCare orders in key markets. The first quarter was softer in terms of net sales, while profitability remained stable. The stronger Swedish krona continued to have a significant impact, and organic growth amounted to -5 percent. The outcome should also be viewed in the context of a strong comparison quarter that included a larger order from China.
As we often emphasize, revenues may vary on a quarterly basis, but the positive long-term trend remains clear. From 2008 (the year prior to the first RayStation sale) through 2025, RaySearch has delivered year-on-year growth except during the two pandemic years, despite significant quarter-to-quarter fluctuations. Over the same period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was 20 percent.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 68 M (75), corresponding to an operating margin of 23 (23) percent. Adjusted for currency gains, operating profit amounted to SEK 58 M, with an operating margin of 20 percent.
Demand for integrated and automated workflows in cancer care continues to be strong, as also reflected in a robust sales pipeline. Interest is expected to increase further as more clinics choose RayStation and RayCare for online adaptive. I am confident that we will achieve our operating margin target of at least 25 percent for the full year 2026.
To further clarify our long-term financial focus, the Board of Directors has decided to introduce a new operating margin target: at least 30 percent for the full year 2028. With innovative software solutions for cancer care, close partnerships, a global presence, and a high share of recurring revenues, RaySearch has a solid foundation for continued profitable growth.”
