Q1 Fiscal 2022 Financial Highlights

Total net revenue was $107.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $85.3 million for the prior fiscal year first quarter. Product revenue totaled $52.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $31.3 million for the prior fiscal year first quarter, while service revenue totaled $54.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $54.1 million for the prior fiscal year first quarter.

This compares to total gross profit of $35.4 million or 41.5 percent of total net revenue, comprised of product gross margin of 41.1 percent of product net revenue and service gross margin of 41.7 percent of service net revenue for the prior fiscal year first quarter.

Net loss was $1.0 million, or $0.1 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to net income of $0.4 million, or an income of $0 per share, for the prior fiscal year first quarter.

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 and stock-based compensation ("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.
