Olivier Legrain, Chief Executive Officer of IBA SA commented: “2017 was a challenging year for IBA, reflecting a slower market and individual project delays. However, with the world’s most attractive proton therapy offering, we have clear competitive strengths and a strategy to continue to profitably capture projected market growth over the long-term.

“The Group has taken a number of actions to streamline its business with a view to returning to a positive REBIT and net profit after tax in 2018. These include reduction of operational expenses, and productivity measures, which enable us to deliver our offering to our customers faster and at a significant advantage compared to competition, thereby improving our gross margin.

“Although the proton therapy market remains lumpy, it is growing steadily over time and we continue to have a robust equipment and services backlog with revenues secured over three and up to ten years respectively. The quality of our backlog and the fastest demonstrated times from installation to customer acceptance position us optimally to leverage the expected growth in proton therapy and maintain our position as market leader. In addition, Dosimetry had a strong year with good backlog conversion.

“Proton therapy offers great potential in the treatment of many cancers. IBA is focused on enabling the clinical potential of proton therapy by 1) growing the proton therapy market by encouraging the adoption and awareness of proton therapy, including through education and facilitating the generation of a strong body of supporting data and 2) increasing IBA’s market share by maintaining the most innovative solutions, the swiftest project execution, proven upgradability and best system reliability, supported by our global network of best-in-class partners.

“We remain confident in our long-term growth potential. Although current market conditions make it harder to predict our near-term growth trajectory, we will keep the market updated on our progress as the current year progresses.”

  % of Sales -7.4% 12.2%    

Total net sales for Proton Therapy and Other Accelerators were down 16.8% year on year to EUR 233.6 million. This decrease is a result of:

  • Lower sales in 2017 compared to 2016 with five rooms sold compared to 12 in 2016. This slowdown reflects the lumpy nature of the proton therapy market, which operates on three- to four-year growth cycles with slower years tending to follow higher growth years. The overall market trend remains positive
  • Lower conversion of the Proton Therapy backlog due to customer building delays in around half of the Proton Therapy installations, with milestones shifted to 2018 and 2019. IBA completed an in-depth review of its Proton Therapy project management and has put in place enhanced project management systems
  • Some one-off project cost overruns related to specific projects
  • A more aggressive stance by competitors seeking to increase market share. IBA is confident that its focus on building a full spectrum cutting-edge offering, making its systems as affordable as possible and ensuring the fastest installation times on the market and superior operations and maintenance will enable it to maintain its long-term market leadership

IBA continued to see good Proton Therapy Services revenue growth, up 4.5% from 59.5 million in 2016 to EUR 62.2 million in 2017. Moreover, upgrades of IBA’s installed base began to make a greater impact on the Proton Therapy and Other Accelerators business in 2017 with EUR 5.6 million coming from upgrades of existing proton therapy equipment, up 27% from last year. Both factors demonstrate the long-term sustainability of revenues as the installed base grows.

IBA sold 11 Other Accelerator systems in 2017, maintaining a healthy order intake in this segment. However, net sales for the Other Accelerators business segment were impacted by exceptional sales in 2016 resulting in a decline in Other Accelerator revenues of 25.8% year-on-year to EUR 40.2 million.

Services for Other Accelerators grew 13% to EUR 23.2 million due to a growing number of maintenance contracts and upgrades.

The improved performance of the combined Services for Proton Therapy and Other Accelerators resulted in this part of the business accounting for approximately 37% of total revenues. The performance also demonstrates the strength of the existing long-term contracts the Group has in place and helps to provide visibility with a backlog of EUR 689 million to be converted to sales over the next ten years.

Over the period, five new proton therapy rooms were sold by IBA. These were spread over customer sites in the US and Europe and include the first proton therapy system in Egypt, as well as a contract in South America.

Updates to US proton therapy policies and guidelines

Alongside our proton therapy customers and partners, IBA has a clear strategy to support the enhancement of clinical evidence supporting the adoption of proton therapy treatment and its use in a range of indications and to ensure the inclusion of proton therapy treatment into the critical clinical guidelines for healthcare systems across the world.

During the period, both the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) expanded their indication policies for proton therapy, leading to greater penetration of the market for proton therapy in the US. The guidelines further endorse proton therapy as an important treatment option in the fight against cancer.

The body of evidence for proton therapy is growing with 620 proton therapy publications published in 2017 and a total of 160 trials active. IBA is committed to support multi-centric data collection initiatives in the US and Europe in order to accelerate the generation of clinical evidence regarding clinical outcome, cost effectiveness and patient selection criteria.

Moreover, IBA commissioned a study across a wide variety of proton therapy centers to give the Group a greater understanding and quantification of patient access to proton therapy in the US and Europe. In particular, the study shows that in US, hospital-based proton therapy centers, an average of 23% of the radiotherapy patients are treated with proton therapy. This number is very much in line with the Proton Radiotherapy Horizon Scanning report published in 2009 and revised in 2016 by the Health Council of The Netherlands.

Proton therapy partnerships

In September, IBA announced that it had entered into a memorandum of understanding with the radiotherapy leader Elekta to collaborate on software development and the sales and marketing of each other’s products. As part of the agreement, the companies are co-investing in the development of new functionality for proton therapy treatment in Elekta’s Monaco® treatment planning system and MOSAIQ® oncology information system. The goal is to further improve patient care by offering a more seamless experience for comprehensive radiotherapy departments. In addition to the software development collaboration, both companies expect to offer a joint portfolio of radiation therapy solutions and co-market each other’s products, based on a shared vision of integration and adaptive radiation therapy.

IBA continues to make use of strong partnerships with Raysearch and Philips to integrate its solutions with the leading software used today by radiation oncologists. IBA also collaborates with Philips and Canon Medical Systems (previously Toshiba) in order to maximize its worldwide market coverage.

Together, these partnerships form the basis from which IBA is seeking to build its global proton therapy platform that can provide fully integrated support for proton therapy treatment from diagnosis to treatment planning and delivery.

Market leading installation time and technology

IBA is a market leader in the delivery of proton therapy solutions and our quality and fastest time to treating patients was demonstrated in January 2018 when the first patient was treated at University Medical Center Groningen Proton Therapy Center within 13 months of start of installation of its Proteus®PLUS. The Proteus®PLUS at UMCG is configured with two gantry treatment rooms equipped with IBA’s pencil beam scanning (PBS) and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) large field of view image guidance. These technologies improve the precision of treatment and enable adaptive treatment.

Post period end, alongside Proton Partners International, testing was completed at the UK’s first high energy proton beam machine, following a record nine months installation in Newport, South Wales; a global record and at least 50% faster than any competitor. The single room Proteus®ONE solution, installed and maintained by IBA, is the industry’s only truly compact image-guided IMPT proton therapy system.

This speed of delivery and time to go clinical is critical for customers for achieving their proton therapy business plan potential, and is of further importance for a system, which is the first in its local market.

Radiopharma Solutions and Industrial Accelerators

IBA sold 11 other systems in 2017 with particular success following the launch of the new Cyclone®KIUBE, and also building on the record level of upgrade orders.

In Industrial Accelerators, in particular, IBA’s focus has been on its Rhodotron integrated solution with the launch of its new Rhodotron generation, including the new compact TT50, offering undisputable modularity and energy efficiency. IBA is leading the market with the sale of three Rhodotrons over the past three months and a promising pipeline, with fast growth expected in alternative applications such as sterilization, cargo screening and radioisotope production. Services for this segment also continued to add a growing revenue stream.

Dosimetry saw excellent sales performance in 2017 with revenues up 11.9% to EUR 53.8 million thanks to fast conversion of the backlog and a strong 2017 order intake. REBIT has also increased 87.5% to EUR 5.7 million with a margin improvement to 10.5% from 6.3%.

The total order intake in 2017 was EUR 51.5 million, up 7% compared to last year, boosted by medical imaging and services. This has helped to maintain a backlog that remains high at EUR 15.4 million at end of 2017.

During the period, IBA launched the new RAZOR Nano Chamber, the smallest available ionization chamber in the market for small-field dosimetry. In addition, the IBA Dosimetry Blue Phantom system was used for acceptance of the first Varian Halcyon(TM) machine in Europe. IBA now has more than 1,000 worldwide customers using its myQA® quality assurance platform, a unique platform that connects QA applications and data through a central database and software application.

Financial review

IBA reported revenues of EUR 287.4 million, down 12.6% from 2016.

Recurring operating loss before interest and taxes (REBIT) fell sharply due to cyclical market slowdown and individual project delays. The Group REBIT fell to EUR -11.6 million from EUR 37.1 million in 2016.

Financial results were strongly affected by the strengthening of the euro against the US dollar. Other operating expenses were mostly related to restructuring and reorganization costs and write-offs on some assets and receivables.

IBA booked a deferred tax charge of EUR 16.1 million, due to tax reforms that became effective in Belgium at the end of December, as well as a very favorable tax regime for companies investing in R&D in Belgium that reduced recoverability of deferred tax assets against future taxable income.

As a result of the above effects, IBA reported a net loss of EUR -39.2 million down from a profit of EUR 24.4 million in the prior year.

Operating cash flow during 2017 amounted to EUR -44.6 million with recurring operations impacted by the growth of activity at the working capital level to support ongoing installations, at the same time affected by the delays in project scheduling. Inventory levels grew to deliver equipment on time and support installations.

Cash flow from investing was EUR -12.9 million, mostly related to CAPEX for asset maintenance and for the new factory that will become operational in 2018.

As a consequence, the net cash position fell to EUR -15.5 million at the end of 2017. IBA has secured adequate credit lines from its financial institutions to finance its working capital requirements.

Outlook

The fundamentals of the proton therapy market continue to be solid, as demonstrated by the numerous prospects IBA is pursuing across all global markets. IBA remains fully focused on driving growth and, alongside our strategic partnerships and ongoing focus on cost controls and maintaining the world’s most competitive and attractive proton therapy offering, IBA will continue to drive towards a positive REBIT and net profit after tax in 2018 and beyond.

This will be focused around our two axes for growth: growing the market by facilitating evidence generation and creating awareness of the benefits of proton therapy, whilst improving its affordability, and increasing IBA’s market share with its superior clinical technology, fastest installation times, proven quality of service and unique ability to completely upgrade all systems to the latest technology available.

Although current market conditions make it harder to predict IBA’s near-term growth trajectory, the Group will continue to keep the market updated on its progress as the current year progresses. Whilst it is IBA’s intention to keep providing quarterly qualitative business updates to the market, going forward, key financial figures and detailed analysis of its financials will only be provided at the time of its half and full year results.
