Overview

Company

Accuray Incorporated is a radiation therapy company that develops, manufactures, sells and supports market-changing solutions that are designed to deliver radiation treatments for even the most complex cases, while making commonly treatable cases even more straightforward, to meet the full spectrum of patient needs. We believe in comparison to conventional linear accelerators, our treatment delivery, planning, and data management solutions provide better accuracy, flexibility, and control; fewer treatments with shorter treatment times; and the technology to expand beyond cancer, making it easier for clinical teams around the world to provide treatments that help patients get back to living their lives, faster.

Our innovative technologies, the CyberKnife® and TomoTherapy® platforms, including the Radixact® System, our next generation TomoTherapy platform, are designed to deliver advanced treatments, including stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), and adaptive radiation therapy (ART). The CyberKnife and TomoTherapy platforms have complementary clinical applications with the same goal: to empower our customers to deliver the most precise and accurate treatments while still minimizing dose to healthy tissue, helping to reduce the risk of side effects that may impact patients’ quality of life. Each of these systems serves patient populations treated by the same medical specialty, radiation oncology, with advanced capabilities. The CyberKnife platform is also used by neurosurgeons specializing in radiosurgery to treat patients with tumors in the brain and spine, and neurologic disorders. In addition to these products, we also provide services, which include post-contract customer support (warranty period services and post warranty services), installation services, training, and other professional services.

The CyberKnife Platform

The CyberKnife platform is the only robotic, full-body stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) delivery device on the market. The latest generation is the CyberKnife S7 System, which combines speed, advanced precision, and real-time artificial intelligence (AI)-driven motion tracking and synchronized treatment delivery for all SRS and SBRT treatments, in as little as 15 minutes. The platform is designed to treat cancerous and benign tumors throughout the body, as well as neurologic disorders. The use of SRS and SBRT with the CyberKnife platform to treat tumors throughout the body has grown significantly in recent years. SRS and SBRT are performed on an outpatient basis in a limited number of treatment sessions - typically 1-5 fractions. They enable the treatment of patients who might not otherwise be treated with radiation, who may not be good candidates for surgery, or who desire a non-surgical treatment option.

The CyberKnife S7 System includes disease-specific tracking and treatment delivery solutions for brain, spine, lung and prostate tumors, improvements in treatment speed as compared to earlier systems, more options to configure the treatment room, and expanded number of nodes leading to more coverage and minimizing dose to healthy tissue. The system has the option of fixed collimators plus the Iris Variable Aperture Collimator and/or InCise Multileaf Collimator (MLC). With the addition of the InCise MLC, the CyberKnife S7 System enables treatment of larger tumors previously thought untreatable with radiosurgery and SBRT. The InCise MLC and IMRT planning tools enable expansion of indications that can be treated with a CyberKnife platform to include many IMRT indications.

Using our Synchrony® real-time target tracking with dynamic delivery technology and computer controlled robotic mobility, the CyberKnife platform is designed to deliver radiation from a wide array of beam angles and autonomously track, detect and correct for even the slightest tumor and patient movement in real time throughout the entire treatment. This design is intended to enable the CyberKnife platform to deliver high dose radiation with precision and accuracy, which minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue and eliminates the need for invasive head or body immobilization frames.

The Accuray Precision® Treatment Planning System (TPS) with the VOLO Optimizer software on the CyberKnife S7 System enables customers to significantly improve operational efficiency by reducing both the time to create high quality treatment plans and the time it takes to deliver patient treatments. The next-generation TPS with the optimizer facilitates the development of clinically optimal treatment plans up to 90 percent faster than before and the delivery of the treatment up to an estimated 50 percent faster than before the availability of this software.

We believe the CyberKnife platform offers clinicians and patients significant benefits over other vendors’ radiation therapy systems in the market.

The long-term success of the CyberKnife platform is dependent on a number of factors including the following:

•

Continued adoption of our CyberKnife platform, including the CyberKnife M6 System and CyberKnife S7 System, in markets where they are available;

•

Greater awareness among doctors and patients of the benefits of radiosurgery delivered with the CyberKnife platform, including its robotic architecture and Synchrony technology and VOLO optimizer;

•

Continued evolution in clinical studies demonstrating the safety, efficacy and other benefits of using the CyberKnife platform to treat tumors in various parts of the body;

•

Change in medical practice leading to utilization of stereotactic body radiation therapy more regularly as an alternative to surgery or other treatments;

•

Continued advances in our technology that improve the quality of treatments and ease of use of the CyberKnife platform;

•

Receipt of regulatory approvals in various countries which are expected to improve access to radiosurgery with the CyberKnife S7 System in such countries;

•

Medical insurance reimbursement policies that cover CyberKnife platform treatments; and

•

Our ability to expand sales of CyberKnife M6 and S7 Systems in countries throughout the world where we do not currently sell or have not historically sold a significant number of any CyberKnife platform configurations.

The Radixact System, the Next-Generation TomoTherapy Platform

The Radixact System, the next generation TomoTherapy platform, allows for fully integrated radiation treatment planning, delivery and data management, enabling clinicians to deliver ultra-precise treatments to more than 50 patients per day. The platform’s ring gantry architecture enables precise and efficient treatments with a high degree of dose conformity, while the high-speed binary MLC effectively modulates and shapes the radiation beam as it is emitted. The combination of the ring gantry and the MLC enable treatment to be delivered continuously in a 360 degree helical pattern around the patient’s body (TomoHelical). Additionally, the TomoDirect feature provides the TomoTherapy platform with added versatility, enabling the delivery of high quality, fixed angle beams. The two treatment delivery modes - TomoHelical and TomoDirect - provide flexibility in the types of indications that can be treated with radiation, from the simplest to the most complex cases, multiple tumors and recurrent tumors.

Our Synchrony real-time target tracking with dynamic delivery for the Radixact System adds intrafraction motion synchronization capabilities to this device, enabling real-time tracking, visualization and correction for tumor motion during treatment, with the goal of improving dose accuracy and treatment times as compared to conventional radiation therapy systems. Synchrony can be used on the Radixact System to adapt treatment delivery for tumors that move as a result of bodily processes, including respiration and digestion, as well as patient movement. Treatments are truly personalized, as delivery is adapted to the individual’s unique movements throughout treatment delivery. If movement changes during treatment, delivery is adapted for that unique change.

The Radixact System seamlessly integrates with ClearRT helical kVCT high-fidelity imaging, providing clinicians with an option to produce exceptional diagnostic-like quality CT images, quickly and cost-effectively, to improve patient care. ClearRT imaging provides the largest imaging field of view available on a radiation delivery system at 50 cm (diameter) by 135 cm (long), and speed, as evidenced by its ability to capture a 1-meter image in only 1 minute. ClearRT delivers enhanced imaging capabilities compared to conventional linear accelerator systems that rely on cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging and as an alternative to MR-based radiation therapy systems that can be complex and cost prohibitive to use.

The TomoTherapy platform integrates into a single system all of the key elements for radiation therapy, including treatment planning, CT image guided patient positioning, treatment delivery, quality assurance and adaptive planning. The imaging and treatment planning capabilities of many traditional systems are more modular or require cumbersome add ons or separate treatment planning systems that result in clinicians taking more steps between scanning, planning and treatment of patients. Conversely, the integrated imaging and treatment features of the Radixact System allows clinicians to scan, plan and treat cancer patients efficiently. Treatment plans as well as daily images can be easily accessed remotely, enabling clinical teams to collaboratively work together, regardless of location, ensuring higher quality plan development and delivery.

We believe the TomoTherapy platform offers clinicians and patients significant benefits over other vendors’ radiation therapy systems in the market. The long-term success of the TomoTherapy platform is dependent on a number of factors including the following:

•

Continued adoption of our TomoTherapy platform, including the Radixact System, in markets where it is available;

•

Greater awareness among doctors and patients of the unique benefits of radiation therapy using the TomoTherapy platform, including its ring gantry architecture that enables treatment delivery from multiple 360 degree rotations around the patient, and ClearRT helical kVCT imaging for the Radixact System, designed to produce exceptional diagnostic-like quality CT images, quickly and cost-effectively;

•

Advances in our technology that improve the quality of treatments and ease of use of TomoTherapy platform;

•

Greater awareness among doctors of the now-established reliability of TomoTherapy platform; and

•

Our ability to expand sales of TomoTherapy platform in countries throughout the world where we do not currently sell or have not historically sold a significant number of any TomoTherapy platform configurations.

Sale of Our Products

Generating revenue from the sale of our platforms is a lengthy process. Selling our platforms, from first contact with a potential customer to a signed sales contract that meets our backlog criteria (as discussed below) varies significantly and generally spans between six months and two years. The length of time between receipt of a signed contract and revenue recognition is generally governed by the time required by the customer to build, renovate or prepare the treatment room for installation of the platform.

Table of Contents

In the United States, we primarily market directly to customers, including hospitals and stand-alone treatment facilities, through our sales organization we also market to customers through sales agents and group purchasing organizations. Outside the United States, we market to customers directly and through use of distributors and sales agents. In addition to our offices in the United States, we have sales and service offices in Europe, India, Asia, and South America.

As of June 30, 2022, our systems were named in 100 out of 118 Class A user licenses awarded in the 13th five year plan by the China National Health Commission to purchase radiation therapy devices. The Chinese Ministry of Health requires a tender process following the license awards for all participating end user hospitals prior to being able to take receipt of a Class A device. This tender process defines the transactional terms and conditions related to each hospital’s equipment order and does not put us in a competitive bidding situation that would result in changes in the specific device for which the hospital has received the Class A user license. During the year ended June 30, 2022, we delivered Class A devices to China and recognized system revenue related to such devices of approximately $65.1 million in the same period. We currently anticipate system revenue related to the remaining Class A user licenses awarded to date in the next 12 to 18 months. Despite the challenges and uncertainties in China and around the world, including those created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to believe that China remains the world’s fastest growing market for radiation oncology systems and the pandemic does not affect the long-term demand for radiotherapy equipment in China.

Joint Venture

In January 2019, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Accuray Asia Limited (“Accuray Asia”), entered into an agreement with CNNC High Energy Equipment (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (the “CIRC Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Isotope & Radiation Corporation, to form a joint venture, CNNC Accuray (Tianjin) Medical Technology Co. Ltd. (the “JV”), to manufacture and sell radiation oncology systems in China. The JV aims to be uniquely positioned to serve China, which we believe is the world’s largest growth market for radiation oncology systems. China represents a significantly underserved market for linacs based on the country’s population and cancer incidence rates on both an absolute and relative country basis. Accuray Asia has a 49% ownership interest in the JV and the CIRC Subsidiary has a 51% ownership interest in the JV.

In July 2019, the JV broke ground on its facility based in Tianjin, China, which serves as its headquarters and home of its manufacturing, sales organization and service operations. The JV has received its Radiation Safety License from the China Ministry of Environmental Protection, along with its license to do business in China and Medical Device Operating Permit, enabling the JV tosell, install and provide further service to our radiation therapy devices in China. The JV has also completed construction of its manufacturing facility and has obtained the Quality Management System certification with ISO13485 standard.

With the receipt of the necessary permits and licenses to operate, the JV has begun selling products in China, much like a distributor. In the long term, we anticipate that the JV will manufacture and sell a locally branded “Made in China” radiotherapy device in the Class B license category, or Class B device, which would replace our current offering in that category. We believe this strategy will allow us to best maximize both near and longer-term opportunities in China. Required testing for the Class B device is ongoing and the National Medical Products Administration ("NMPA") submission is expected to finish in the fourth calendar quarter of 2022 as the due date has been extended as a result of the COVID-19 travel restrictions.

We apply the equity method of accounting to our ownership interest in the JV as we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the JV but lack controlling financial interest and are not the primary beneficiary. We recognize revenue on sales to the JV in the current period, eliminating 49% of profit to the extent goods sold have not been sold through by the JV to an end customer at the end of such reporting period. We deferred $5.4 million and $2.1 million of intra-entity profit margin as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $1.4 million of previously deferred intra-entity profit margin from sales and recorded intra-entity profit margin deferral of $4.7 million from sales executed during the period. Our consolidated accumulated deficit includes $1.0 million of accumulated gains related to our equity method investment.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2022, we had carrying value of $12.9 million in the JV and owned a 49% interest in the entity. Our proportional share of the underlying equity in net assets of the JV was approximately $14.6 million. The difference between the carrying value of the equity investment and our proportional share of the underlying equity in net assets of the JV of $1.7 million, adding back $5.4 million of eliminated intra-entity profit, constitutes equity method goodwill of $4.7 million at June 30, 2022 that is subject to impairment analysis. No impairment was identified as of June 30, 2022.

COVID-19 and Economic Conditions

In fiscal year 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) was surfaced in Wuhan, China and was subsequently recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 pandemic severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world and while conditions have improved, the pace and degree of recovery varies significantly. In response to this pandemic, governments and private industry have taken preventative or protective actions at varying levels, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, which has resulted in the temporary or permanent closure of certain businesses, as well as advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes, particularly in group settings. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business operations as well as those of our customers and partners. In addition, across the healthcare industry, resources are being prioritized for the treatment and management of the pandemic and away from non-urgent or elective procedures. Some of our customers, which include hospitals, major academic medical centers, and other related entities, have incurred losses during the COVID-19 pandemic due to significantly reduced patient volume. The public health actions being undertaken to reduce the spread of the virus have created and may continue to create significant disruptions with respect to demand for our products and services; the operating procedures and workflow of our customers, particularly hospitals; our ability to continue to manufacture our products; and the reliability of our supply chain.

Our financial results have also been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in various ways. The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to adversely impact the pace at which our backlog converts to revenue in the near-term. This is primarily the result of pandemic-related delays in the timing of deliveries and installations which has adversely affected our revenue. We have experienced such delays in deliveries and installations since the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 and expect that such delays will continue to some degree, which could have a negative impact on our revenue. We have also experienced disruptions in sales and delays in customer payments as a result of changes to and redirection of customer resources to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and closures of customer facilities. We have also received requests from a few customers to extend payment terms or temporarily suspend service and corresponding payment obligations and while we have only received a small number of requests thus far, there can be no guarantee that more customers will not ask for the same. In addition, the global supply chain is continuing to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other geopolitical uncertainty as disruptions in parts of our supply chain have resulted in delays in the receipt of certain components for our products as well as increased pricing pressure for such parts. These ongoing supply chain challenges and heightened logistics costs have affected our gross margins and net income (loss), and our current expectations are that gross margins and net income (loss) will continue to be adversely affected by increased material costs and freight and logistic expenses at least through the remainder of the calendar year of 2022, if not longer. Furthermore, certain parts required for the manufacture and servicing of our products, such as electronic components, are scarce and becoming increasingly difficult to source even at increased prices. If such parts become unavailable to us, we would not be able to manufacture or service our products, which would adversely impact revenue, gross margins, and net income (loss). As a result, we are carefully monitoring the pandemic and related economic impact on our financial condition and results of operations. We intend to continue to execute on our strategic plans and operational initiatives. However, given the uncertainty regarding the spread, severity and potential resurgence of COVID-19, the impact of new COVID-19 variants, vaccination deployment efforts, how long the pandemic and associated health measures will last, as well as the related economic impacts, including supply chain issues and inflation, and other factors identified in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-K, the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated with any certainty at this time, although the impacts are expected to continue and may significantly affect our business. We expect that the impacts on our customers’ business and our business will continue through this period of economic uncertainty as supply chain issues, inflation and other factors continue to worsen or emerge. Accordingly, management is carefully evaluating our liquidity position, communicating with and monitoring the

actions of our customers and suppliers, and reviewing our near-term financial performance as the uncertainty related to these factors continues to unfold.

Backlog

As of June 30, 2022, backlog totaled $563.7 million, of which $0.2 million represented upgrades sold through service contracts. As of June 30, 2021, backlog totaled $616.4 million.

In order for the product portion of a system sales agreement to be counted as backlog, it must meet the following criteria:

•

The contract is properly executed by both the customer and us. A customer purchase order that incorporates the terms of our contract quote will be considered equivalent to a signed and executed contract. The contract has either cleared all its contingencies or contained no contingencies when signed;

•

We have received a minimum deposit or a letter of credit; or the sale is to a customer where a deposit is deemed not necessary or customary (i.e. sale to a government entity, a large hospital, group of hospitals or cancer care group that has sufficient credit, customers with trade-in of existing equipment, sales via tender awards, or indirect channel sales that have signed contracts with end-customers);

•

The specific end customer site has been identified by the customer in the written contract or written amendment; and

•

Less than 2.5 years have passed since the contract met all the criteria above.

Although our backlog includes only contractual agreements with our customers for the purchase of our CyberKnife or TomoTherapy platforms, including the Radixact Systems and related upgrades, we cannot provide assurance that we will convert backlog into recognized revenue due primarily to factors outside of our control. The amount of backlog recognized into revenue is primarily impacted by three items: cancellations, age-outs and foreign currency fluctuations. Orders could be cancelled for reasons including, without limitation, changes in customers’ needs, priorities or financial condition, changes in government or health insurance reimbursement policies, or changes to regulatory requirements. In addition to cancellations, after 2.5 years, if we have not been able to recognize revenue on a contract, we remove the revenue associated with the contract from backlog and the order is considered aged out. Contracts may age-out for many reasons, including but not limited to, inability of the customer to pay, inability of the customer to adapt their facilities to accommodate our products in a timely manner, or inability to timely obtain licenses necessary for customer facilities or operation of our equipment. Our backlog also includes amounts not denominated in U.S. Dollars and therefore fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar as compared to other currencies will impact revenue. Generally, strengthening of the U.S. Dollar will negatively impact revenue. Backlog is stated at historical foreign currency exchange rates, and revenue is released from backlog at current exchange rates, with any difference recorded as a backlog adjustment.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the pace of new orders and the pace at which our backlog converts to revenue in the near-term and we expect this to continue. Although the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact individual markets could vary based on a number of factors, we have seen and expect to continue to see a higher than normal level of age-outs in the coming quarters as a result.

A summary of gross orders, net orders, and order backlog is as follows (in thousands):

Years Ended June 30,

Gross Orders and Book to Bill Ratio

Gross orders are defined as the sum of new orders recorded during the period adjusted for any revisions to existing orders during the period. Our book to bill ratio is defined as gross orders for the period divided by product revenue for the period.

Gross orders increased by $6.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2021. This was primarily due to an increase in CyberKnife platform orders and upgrades of $8.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively. TomoTherapy platform orders decreased by $5.8 million while upgrades increased by $2.1 million. In addition, gross order activity during the year ended June 30, 2021 was adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in the Americas region. Our book to bill ratio for June 30, 2022 was 1.5 as compared to 1.8 for June 30, 2021.

Gross orders decreased by $51.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2020. This was primarily due to a decline in China Class A system orders as the prior year order volume reflected significant pent-up demand from our end users and distributor, which was triggered by the announcement of the China Class A system quotas back in 2018. In addition, gross order activity during the year ended June 30, 2021 was adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in the Americas region. Accordingly, TomoTherapy platform order and upgrades order volume decreased by $48.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively, as compared to the prior year. CyberKnife platform orders decreased by $5.9 million while upgrades increased by $1.4 million. The decrease in CyberKnife platform orders was primarily due to the normalization of China Class A system orders for the year ended June 30, 2021 as compared to prior fiscal year where we experienced higher volumes of orders due to significant pent-up demand. Our book to bill ratio for June 30, 2021 was 1.8 as compared to 2.3 for June 30, 2020.

Net Orders

Net orders are defined as gross orders less cancellations, age-outs, foreign exchange and other adjustments during the period.

Net orders decreased by $24.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2021, resulting from an increase in age-outs of $35.0 million and an unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates of $7.9 million offset by an increase in age-ins of $8.2 million, an increase in gross orders of $6.3 million, and a decrease in cancellations of $3.8 million.

•

The age-outs for the year ended June 30, 2022 were $183.8 million. There were $34.9 million of age-ins. Age-ins represent orders that previously aged-out but have been recognized as revenue in the current period, compared to $148.8 million of age-outs and $26.6 million of age-ins in the same period last fiscal year.

•

There were $11.3 million of cancellations in year ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $15.1 million of cancellations in the year ended June 30, 2021. Cancellations are outside of our control and are difficult to

forecast; however, we continue to work closely with our customers to minimize the impact of cancellations on our business.

•

Foreign currency impacts and other adjustments decreased net orders by $4.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2022 compared to an increase in net orders by $3.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2021.

Net orders decreased by $88.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2020, resulting from a decrease of gross orders of $51.4 million, an increase in age-outs of $47.2 million, an increase in cancellations of $1.2 million, partially offset by an increase in age-ins of $6.1 million and a favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates of $4.9 million.

•

The age-outs for the year ended June 30, 2021 were $122.1 million. There were $6.1 million of age-ins. Age-ins represent orders that previously aged-out but have been recognized as revenue in the current period, compared to $81.1 million of age-outs and $20.5 million of age-ins in the same period last fiscal year.

•

There were $15.1 million of cancellations in year ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $13.9 million of cancellations in the year ended June 30, 2020. Cancellations are outside of our control and are difficult to forecast; however, we continue to work closely with our customers to minimize the impact of cancellations on our business.

•

Foreign currency impacts and other adjustments increased net orders by $3.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2021 compared to a decrease in net orders by $1.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2020.

In recent years, the percentage of gross orders received from our distribution partners in the international markets represented 71%, 82%, and 76% of gross orders for fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We anticipate that distributor orders from international markets will continue to represent a significant portion of our gross orders in the foreseeable future. International orders are affected by foreign currency fluctuation as well as government programs that stimulate the purchase of healthcare products, both of which could affect the demand for our products and timing of orders from period to period. In addition, our order-to-revenue conversion cycle for international distributor orders has been generally longer compared to that of direct channel sales and could cause fluctuations in our age-outs from period to period.

Net revenue

Product Net Revenue

Product net revenue increased by $38.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2022 or 22%, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in unit volume sales due to strong performance in the Americas region due to pent-up demand post-COVID coupled with an increase in system average product revenue. The increase is driven by an increase in revenue from the Americas, EMEA, and China regions offset by a unit volume decline in the Japan region.

Service Net Revenue

Service net revenue decreased by $4.4 million, or 2%, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in service contract revenue of $3.6 million driven by the strong US dollar that reduced the dollar value of all foreign currency service contract revenue, primarily in Japan and Europe, slightly offset by an increase in installation revenue.

Net revenue by geographic region, based on the shipping location of our customer, is as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Years Ended June 30,

Europe, Middle East, India and Africa 31 % 31 %

Asia Pacific, excluding Japan and China 7 % 7 %

Gross profit

The overall gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2022 increased by $0.4 million, relatively flat as compared to the year ended June 30, 2021, due to an increase in product gross profit of $12.9 million, or 17%, driven by an increase in product revenue as a result of higher shipments offset by a decrease in service gross profit of $12.4 million or 15% driven by $8.0 million increase in service cost mainly due to higher part consumption and $4.4 million lower service revenue.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses increased by $5.0 million, or 10%, for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2021. The increase was driven by an increase of $4.3 million in compensation and employee benefits expenses mainly due to additional headcount and an increase of $1.2 million in outside services offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in operational cost due to a decrease in materials costs for research and development projects.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses increased $6.8 million, or 16%, for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $4.1 million in compensation and benefits cost due to an increase in headcount, an increase of $2.0 million in marketing expenses due to a greater number of in-person tradeshows as compared to virtual tradeshows in the previous year and an increase of $1.3 million in traveling expenses.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.7 million, or 6%, for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.3 million in operating cost due to increases in insurance premiums and higher bad debt expense and an increase of $0.9 million in outside services related to consulting fees and our reinstatement of compensatory fees for our board of directors in fiscal 2022.

Income on equity method investment, net

Income (loss) on equity method investment was an income of $0.2 million as compared to an income of $0.9 million during the year ended June 30, 2021.

Other expense, net

Other expense, net decreased by $17.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily related to lower interest cost due to lower interest rates on our debt in fiscal 2022 and the loss on extinguishment of old convertible notes in fiscal 2021. The impact of these items was partially offset by higher foreign currency exchange gain.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes was higher in fiscal 2022 as compared to fiscal 2021 primarily driven by a change in our permanent reinvestment assertion with respect to undistributed earnings in France, Japan and Switzerland.

Product Net Revenue

Product net revenue increased by $9.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2021 or 6%, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to an increase in unit volume sales coupled with an increase in system average product revenue of $18.8 million. The increase is driven by an increase in revenue from China, offset by a unit volume decline in the Americas, EMEA and Japan regions partly as a result of the impact of COVID-19 pandemic

on revenue conversion timing with our customers in those regions and a decrease in system upgrades of $9.5 million due to the timing of release of ClearRT that was anticipated by customers during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

Service Net Revenue

Service net revenue increased by $4.0 million, or 2%, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to an increase in service contract revenue of $2.8 million, a reduced cost of service of $2.6 million, and an increase in upgrade and installation revenue of $1.8 million, offset by a decrease in training revenue and revenue from service parts.

Net revenue by geographic region, based on the shipping location of our customer, is as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Years Ended June 30,

Europe, Middle East, India and Africa 31 % 31 %

Asia Pacific, excluding Japan and China 7 % 8 %

Gross profit

The overall gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2021 increased by $9.8 million, or 7%, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2020, due to an increase in service gross profit of $6.7 million, or 9%, driven by an increase in service contract revenue of $4.0 million including, upgrades and installation services, from an increase in the number of installed systems, coupled with a reduced cost of service of $2.6 million and an increase in product gross profit of $3.1 million, or 4%, which was driven by higher revenue from system unit sales volume coupled with an increase in system average product revenue.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses increased by $2.9 million, or 6%, for the year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2020. The increase was driven by an increase of $2.5 million in compensation and employee benefits expenses mainly due to reinstatement of bonuses to employees in fiscal year 2021, which were suspended in fiscal year 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and an increase of $2.2 million in outside services offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in travel expenses due to decreased travel as a result of travel restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and a decrease of $0.5 million in facilities expenses.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses decreased $4.4 million, or 9%, for the year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $3.0 million due to the lower cost of key trade shows that were held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic, a decrease of $2.0 million in travel expenses, a decrease of $0.9 million in marketing promotion and materials and $0.2 million lower consulting expense, offset by an increase of $1.7 million in compensation and employee benefits mainly due to the reinstatement of bonuses to employees in fiscal year 2021, which were suspended in fiscal year 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.6 million, or 4%, for the year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $2.6 million in compensation and employee benefits mainly due to the reinstatement of bonuses to employees in fiscal year 2021, which were suspended in fiscal year 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and an increase of $1.7 million this fiscal year compared to prior fiscal year due to the conclusion of a foreign indirect tax audit in fiscal year 2020 offset by a decrease in expense for allowance for credit losses of $1.6 million and a decrease in outside services and consulting of $1.2 million.

Income on equity method investment, net

Income (loss) on equity method investment was an income of $0.9 million as compared to a loss of $0.1 million during the year ended June 30, 2020.

Other expense, net

Other expense, net increased by $21.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the non-cash gain of $13.0 million related to the value of the Accuray systems contributed to the JV in exchange for 49% equity interest that was recorded in fiscal year 2020, an increase of $5.7 million due to loss on extinguishment of debt and a $4.3 million due to loss on the exchange of our 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2022 that was treated as an extinguishment of old notes. The impact of these items was offset by an increase of $0.4 million in net foreign currency exchange gain, a decrease of $1.2 million in interest expense and a $0.2 million payment received for building improvements to a facility that was vacated in 2020.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes was lower in fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020 due to lower foreign earnings in fiscal 2021. We also released income tax benefits in fiscal 2020 related to final tax assessments from the Swiss tax authorities for the fiscal period 2018 that otherwise would have reflected a much higher income tax expense for us in fiscal 2020.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

In fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, we recorded share‐based compensation expense of $10.6 million, $9.3 million, and $8.2 million, respectively, related to awards under our stock incentive plans. Share‐based compensation expense was recorded net of estimated forfeitures. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $14.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options, shares under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, stock options and restricted stock units, or RSUs, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average period from 0.6 to 2.4 years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2022, we had $88.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. Cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to supply chain disruptions, rising interest rates and inflation, world events, including the Russian-Ukraine war, continuing uncertainty associated with COVID-19 and the risks included in Part I, Item 1A titled “Risk Factors.” Also refer to Note 10, Debt to the consolidated financial statements for discussion of the New Credit Facilities and the Notes as of June 30, 2022. Based on our cash and cash equivalents balance, available debt facilities, current business plan and revenue prospects, we believe that we will have sufficient cash resources and anticipated cash flows to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. However, we continue to critically review our liquidity and anticipated capital requirements in light of the significant uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In May 2021, we issued $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 under an indenture between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. $97.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2026 were issued to certain holders of 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2022 in exchange for $82.1 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2022 outstanding and $2.9 million aggregate principal amount were issued for cash. Concurrently, in May 2021, we entered into a senior secured credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, individually as a lender and agent, and

84

Table of Contents

the other lenders (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a new five-year $80 million term loan facility and a $40 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The initial borrowings under the Credit Agreement, including $25 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, were funded on May 14, 2021, and as of June 30, 2022 we had an outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility of $5.0 million.

Our liquidity and cash flows has been and could continue to be materially impacted by the diversion of customer resources to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as delays in payments from customers and could be further impacted by additional and prolonged delays in payments from customers, the potential risk mitigation measures, facility closures, or other reasons related to the COVID-19 pandemic. There remain uncertainties as to how the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to materially impact our liquidity in the future.

In addition, we are unable to predict with certainty the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ability to maintain compliance with the debt covenants contained in the credit and security agreements related to our Credit Facilities, including financial covenants regarding the fixed charge coverage ratio and the consolidated senior net leverage ratio. While we were in compliance with such covenants for the year ended June 30, 2022, failure to meet the covenant requirements in the future could cause us to be in default and the maturity of the related debt could be accelerated and become immediately payable. This may require us to obtain waivers or amendments to the credit and security agreement in order to maintain compliance and there can be no certainty that any such waiver or amendment will be available, or what the cost of such waiver or amendment, if obtained, would be. If we are unable to obtain necessary waivers or amendment and the debt under such credit facility is accelerated, we would be required to obtain replacement financing at prevailing market rates, which may not be favorable to us. There is no guarantee that we would be able to satisfy our obligations if any of our indebtedness is accelerated.

Additionally, the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries at June 30, 2022 for all countries except Japan, France and Switzerland are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and unavailable for distribution in the form of dividends or otherwise. Repatriation of the Company’s foreign earnings from Japan, France and Switzerland are subject to income taxes. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $55.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at our foreign subsidiaries. When such funds are repatriated, there will be additional foreign tax withholdings imposed depending on the country from which the funds were repatriated.

In addition, the long sales cycle, together with delays in the shipment of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy platforms or customer cancellations that have increased in light of the COVID-19 pandemic have affected our ability to recognize revenue, which could adversely affect our cash flows.

Cash Flows

Years Ended June 30,

Net cash used in investing activities (4,717 ) (2,399 ) (3,728 )

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities (15,369 ) (28,805 ) 26,696

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted our global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets all of which could negatively impact our business operations and cash flows for the foreseeable future, including reductions in revenue and delays in payments from customers. The challenges posed by COVID-19 on our business are expected to evolve rapidly. An extended period of global supply chain and economic disruption and volatility in the financial markets, could materially affect our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition.

Net cash used in investing activities was $3.7 million in fiscal 2020, which primarily consisted of purchases of property and equipment.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities during fiscal 2022 was $15.4 million, which was primarily due to $15.0 million of repayments under Revolving Credit Facility and $4.0 million paydown in debt offset by $2.3 million in proceeds from employee stock plans and proceeds from options exercises.

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

Our future capital requirements depend on numerous factors. These factors include but are not limited to the following:

•

Revenue generated by sales of our products and service plans;

•

Our ability to generate cash flows from operations;

•

Costs associated with our sales and marketing initiatives and manufacturing activities;

•

Facilities, equipment and IT systems required to support current and future operations;

•

Rate of progress and cost of our research and development activities;

•

Costs of obtaining and maintaining FDA and other regulatory clearances of our products;

•

Effects of competing technological and market developments;

•

Number and timing of acquisitions and other strategic transactions;

•

Servicing and maturity of our current future indebtedness;

•

The impact of inflation of our expenses; and

87

Table of Contents

•

The unpredictable impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including on collections, supply chains and logistics.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents balance will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. If these sources of cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, or we believe market conditions are favorable, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or enter into additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities could have rights senior to those associated with our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Additional financing may not be available at all, or in amounts or on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain this additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned product development and marketing efforts.

Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements and Contractual Obligations

Our purchase commitments and obligations include all open purchase orders and contractual obligations in the ordinary course of business, including commitments with contract manufacturers and suppliers, for which we have not received the goods or services and acquisition and licensing of intellectual property. A majority of these purchase obligations are due within a year. Although open purchase orders are considered enforceable and legally binding, the terms generally allow us the option to cancel, reschedule, and adjust our requirements based on our business needs prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services. Our long-term material cash requirements include lease obligations. See Note 5. Leases.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2022 we had open currency forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies with a stated, or notional, value of approximately $68.3 million. The fair value of the underlying currency based upon the June 30, 2022 exchange rate was approximately $68.3 million. At June 30, 2021 we had open currency forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies with a stated, or notional, value of approximately $54.2 million. The fair value of the underlying currency based upon the June 30, 2022 exchange rate was approximately $54.2 million. We did not have any off balance sheet arrangements for the year ended June 30, 2020.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. However, the economic uncertainty in the current environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could limit our ability to accurately make and evaluate our estimates and judgments. Actual results could therefore differ materially from those estimates if actual conditions differ from our assumptions.

88

Table of Contents

All of our significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are described in Note 1, The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements. The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. Management believes the critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to revenue recognition, assessment of recoverability of goodwill, valuation of inventories, convertible notes, impairment of investments and allowance for credit losses.

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks

Our cash and cash equivalents are deposited with several major financial institutions. At times, deposits in these institutions exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and do not believe that we are exposed to any significant risk of loss on these balances.

For the year ended June 30, 2022 there was one customer that represented 10% or more of total net revenue and for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, there were one and no customers, respectively, that represented 10% or more of total net revenue. We had two customers as of June 30, 2022 and two customers as of June 30, 2021, respectively, that each accounted for more than 10% of our total accounts receivable, net.

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain reserves for potential credit losses. Accounts receivable are deemed past due in accordance with the contractual terms of the agreement. Accounts receivable balances are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once collection efforts are unsuccessful.

Single-source suppliers presently provide us with several components. In most cases, if a supplier was unable to deliver these components, we believe that we would be able to find other sources for these components subject to any regulatory qualifications, if required.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue is primarily derived from sales of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy platforms and services, which include PCS contracts (warranty period services and post-warranty services), installation services, training and other professional services. We record our revenue net of any value added or sales tax. We recognize revenue for certain performance obligations at the point in time when control is transferred, such as delivery of products. We recognize revenue for certain other performance obligations over a period of time as control of the goods or services is transferred, such as PCS and construction contracts. Payments received in advance of system shipment are recorded as customer advances and are deferred until product shipment when they are recognized in revenue. We assess the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and creditworthiness of the customer. We generally do not request collateral from our customers.

We frequently enter into sales arrangements that contain multiple performance obligations. For sale arrangements that contain multiple performance obligations, we account for individual products and services separately if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on relative its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The stand-alone selling price (“SSP”). The SSP is determined based on observable prices at which we separately sell the products and services. If a SSP is not directly observable, then we will estimate the SSP considering market conditions, entity-specific factors, and information about the customer or class of customer that is reasonably available.

Product Revenue

The majority of product revenue is generated from sales of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy platforms, including Radixact Systems. Revenue is recognized once the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the product to a customer, which is generally upon delivery.

We record revenue from sales of systems, product upgrades and accessories to our customers based on the general terms and conditions of the executed sales and distribution agreements as well as the specific terms and conditions executed for each sale, and once the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the product to a customer.

89

Table of Contents

We record revenue considering all discounts given to, or expected by, customers. As a result, management may make estimates of potential future product returns or trade ins and other allowances related to product revenue in the current period. In general, we do not allow returns from customers and all discounts and allowances are clearly identified in the terms and conditions of each sale. We derive some product revenue from sales to the JV.

Service Revenue

Service revenue is generated primarily from PCS, installation services, training and professional services. Service revenue is recognized either ratably over the contractual period as control and benefit transfer to the customer or when service is performed, depending on specific terms and conditions in agreements with customers. We derive some service revenue from sales to the JV.

Costs associated with service revenue are expensed when incurred, except when those costs are related to system upgrades purchased within a service contract. In those cases, the costs of such upgrades are recognized at the time control and benefit of the upgrade transfers to the customer.

Assessment of Recoverability of Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identified intangible net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis and when impairment indicators are present. We have one operating segment and one reporting unit. Therefore, our consolidated net assets, including existing goodwill are considered to be the carrying value of the reporting unit. We estimate the fair value of the reporting unit based on the closing price of our common stock on the trading day closest to the annual review date multiplied by the outstanding shares on that date. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, an impairment may exist, and we must perform the second step of the analysis, in which the implied fair value of the goodwill is compared to its carrying value to determine the impairment charge, if any. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further analysis is required.

Valuation of Inventories

The valuation of inventory requires us to estimate obsolete or excess inventory as well as damaged inventory. The determination of obsolete or excess inventory requires us to estimate the future demand for our products. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and adjust for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on historical usage rates and our estimates of product demand to support future sales and service. If our demand forecast for specific products is greater than actual demand and we fail to reduce purchasing and manufacturing output accordingly, we could be required to write off inventory beyond the current reserve, which would negatively impact our gross margin.

Convertible Notes

We account for convertible notes in accordance with applicable guidance which specifies that an issuer of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity component of the conversion option. The amount recorded as debt is based on the fair value of the debt component as a standalone instrument, determined based on an implied credit spread interest rate for nonconvertible debt. This implied credit spread was derived from the trading history of our convertible notes and a range of estimated market volatility. The difference between the debt recorded at inception and its principal amount is accreted to principal during the estimated life of the note. ASC 470-50, provides guidance on modifications to or exchanges of line-of-credit or revolving arrangements which should be evaluated based on borrowing. We adopted ASU 2020-06 in fiscal year 2022, using the modified retrospective method, which no longer accounts for the liability and equity component separately.

Impairment of Investments

We have an equity investment in CNNC Accuray (Tianjin) Medical Technologies Co. Ltd., the Company’s joint venture in China. The Company’s equity method investment is held at cost and adjusted for impairment when it would be deemed to be impaired. We monitor this investment for events or circumstances indicative of a potential

90

Table of Contents

impairment, and we make appropriate reductions in carrying value if we determine that an impairment charge is required, based primarily on the financial condition or near term prospects of the investee.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers prior to authorizing shipment for all major sale transactions. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate aged items in the accounts receivable aging report and provide an allowance in an amount we deem adequate for doubtful accounts. If our evaluation of our customers’ financial conditions does not reflect our future ability to collect outstanding receivables, additional provisions may be needed and our operating results could be negatively affected.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE & QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not utilize derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other market risk sensitive instruments, positions or transactions.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

A portion of our net sales are denominated in foreign currencies, most notably the Euro and the Japanese Yen. Future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. Dollar may affect the price competitiveness of our products outside the United States. For direct sales outside the United States, we sell in both U.S. Dollars and local currencies, which could expose us to additional foreign currency risks, including changes in currency exchange rates. Our operating expenses in countries outside the United States, are payable in foreign currencies and therefore expose us to currency risk. To the extent that management can predict the timing of payments under sales contracts or for operating expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies, we may engage in hedging transactions to mitigate such risks in the future. We expect the changes in the fair value of the net foreign currency assets arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates to be materially offset by the changes in the fair value of the forward contracts. As of June 30, 2022, we had open currency forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies with stated, or notional value of approximately $68.3 million.

The purpose of these forward contracts is to minimize the risk associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations. We have developed a foreign exchange policy to govern our forward contracts. These foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value are reported in earnings as part of other expenses, net. We have not entered into any other types of derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purpose. Our foreign currency forward contract valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and quoted pricing intervals from public data and do not involve management judgment.

Interest Rate Risk

We maintain an investment portfolio of various holdings, types and maturities. These securities are generally classified as available for sale and consequently are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. At any time, a sharp rise or decline in interest rates could have a material adverse impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Likewise, increases and decreases in interest rates could have had a material impact on interest earnings for our portfolio. We do not currently carry investments that are sensitive to interest rate risk.

Our debt obligations consist of a variety of financial instruments that expose us to interest rate risk, including, but not limited to the New Credit Facilities and Notes. The interest rates on the Notes are fixed and the interest rate on the New Credit Facilities are at variable rates, which are tied to a “prime rate” and LIBOR. As of June 30, 2022, borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility totaled $78.7 million net of issuance cost with an annual interest rate of 3.0% plus 90-day LIBOR, and borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility totaled $5.0 million with an annual interest rate of 3.0% plus 90-day LIBOR. If the amount outstanding under the New Credit Facilities remained at this level for the next 12 months and interest rates increased or decreased by 50 basis point change, our annual interest expense would increase or decrease, respectively, approximately $0.4 million. Refer to Note 10, Debt to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion regarding our debt obligations.

Table of Contents

Inflation Risk

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Equity Price Risk

On August 7, 2017, we issued approximately $85.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2022. Upon conversion, we can settle the obligation by issuing our common stock, cash or a combination thereof at an initial conversion rate equal to 174.8252 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2022, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $5.72 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment. There is no equity price risk if the share price of our common stock is below $5.72 upon conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2022. As of June 30, 2022 the remaining outstanding principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2022 is $2.9 million for every $1 that the share price of our common stock exceeds $5.72, we expect to issue an additional $0.5 million in cash or shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, if all of the 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2022 are converted.

On May 13, 2021, we issued approximately $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2026. Upon conversion, we can settle the obligation by issuing our common stock, cash or a combination thereof at an initial conversion rate equal to 170.5611 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2026, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $5.86 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment. There is no equity price risk if the share price of our common stock is below $5.86 upon conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2026. For every $1 that the share price of our common stock exceeds $5.86, we expect to issue an additional $17.1 million in cash or shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, if all of the 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2026 are converted.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Accuray Incorporated

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Accuray Incorporated (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated August 17, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion.

Basis for opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical audit matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Determination of standalone selling price

As described further in note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s contracts with customers often include multiple performance obligations. The Company applies the five steps of Financial Accounting Standards Board Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in the determination of revenue to be recognized, with step four related to the allocation of the transaction price to multiple performance obligations. The transaction price of each contract is allocated to individual performance obligations based upon relative stand-alone selling price (“SSP”). The SSP of performance obligations is determined based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells the products and services. If the SSP is not directly observable, the Company will estimate the SSP considering market conditions, entity specific factors, and information about the customer or class of customer that is reasonably available. We identified the determination of the SSP of performance obligations as a critical audit matter.

94

Table of Contents

The principal consideration for our assessment that the determination of the SSP of performance obligations represents a critical audit matter is that the estimates made in determining SSP involve significant judgments. Evaluating the appropriateness of these estimates requires a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.

Our audit procedures related to the determination of the SSP of performance obligations included the following, among others:

•

We tested the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over the Company’s determination of the SSP of performance obligations, including controls covering the validation of the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the analysis.

•

We evaluated the appropriateness of the overall methodology used by management, including considering whether the methodology maximized the use of observable inputs available.

•

For products and services where the SSP is directly observable, we evaluated the completeness and accuracy of the data used by management in determining the SSP. We recalculated the pricing inputs within the analysis and agreed selected data to executed sales agreements and considered the appropriateness of sales excluded from the analysis.

•

We tested management’s process by evaluating key assumptions for performance obligations that do not include directly observable sales or for performance obligations that do not include sufficient directly observable sales. Specifically, we:

o

considered how management determined the disaggregation of distinct customer groups;

o

determined the appropriateness of discount rates applied to list prices based on the Company’s pricing strategy for customer groups, including comparing the discount rates to internal pricing policies;

o

recalculated and validated the inputs used in the calculation;

o

made inquiries of staff members outside of the accounting department to determine if there are factors that could have indicated a change in the Company’s go-to market strategy;

o

compared the SSP indicated by management’s analysis to performance obligations within bundled arrangements for a sample of items; and

o

compared SSP at the performance obligation level to the prior year and evaluated the reasons for significant relative fluctuations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

Accuray Incorporated (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Accuray”) designs, develops and sells advanced radiosurgery and radiation therapy systems for the treatment of tumors throughout the body. The Company is incorporated in Delaware and has its principal place of business in Sunnyvale, California. The Company has primary offices in the United States, Switzerland, China, Hong Kong and Japan and conducts its business worldwide.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of a novel strain of coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV-2, which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) and has resulted in a worldwide pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the effects of and response to the pandemic are rapidly evolving and new information is regularly coming to light, particularly as new COVID-19 variants emerge. The Company's customers are diverting resources to treat COVID-19 patients and deferring non-urgent and elective procedures. Some customers, which include hospitals, major academic medical centers, and other related entities, have incurred significant losses during the COVID-19 pandemic due to reduced patient volume. These impacts on the Company's customers may adversely affect their ability to meet their financial and other contractual obligations, including to the Company. Furthermore, global economic uncertainty, including labor shortages and disruptions in the global supply chain, related to the COVID-19 pandemic may result in an incremental adverse impact on revenue, net income (loss) and cash flow and may require significant additional expenditures or cost-cutting to mitigate such impacts. Policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.

The Company’s financial results have also been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in various ways. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely impacting the pace at which the Company’s backlog converts to revenue. This is primarily the result of pandemic-related delays in the timing of deliveries and installations, which has adversely affected our revenue. The Company has experienced such delays in deliveries and installations since the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 and expects that such delays in will continue, which could have a negative impact on revenue. The Company has experienced disruptions in its sales cycle as well as delays in customer payments and service agreements. The Company has also received requests from a few customers to extend payment terms or temporarily suspend service and corresponding payment obligations. While the Company has only received a small number of requests thus far, there can be no guarantee that more customers will not ask for the same in the future.

In addition, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global supply chain, disruptions in parts of our supply chain have resulted in delays in the receipt of certain components for our products as well as increased pricing pressure for such parts. These ongoing supply chain challenges and heightened logistics costs have adversely affected the Company's gross margins and net income (loss), and the Company’s current expectations are that gross margins and net income (loss) will continue to be adversely affected by increased material costs and freight and logistic expenses through at least the remainder of the calendar year of 2022, if not longer. Furthermore, certain

100

Table of Contents

parts required for the manufacture and servicing of the Company's products, such as electronic components, are scarce and becoming increasingly difficult to source even at increased prices. If such parts become unavailable to the Company, it would not be able to manufacture or service our products, which would adversely impact revenue, gross margins, and net income (loss). As a result, the Company is carefully monitoring the pandemic and the potential length and depth of the resulting economic impact on our financial condition and results of operations. There remain uncertainties around the spread, severity and potential resurgence of COVID-19, the impact of new COVID-19 variants, vaccination deployment efforts, and how long the pandemic and associated health measures will last, the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, although the impacts are expected to continue and may significantly affect the Company’s business.

The Company continues to critically review its liquidity and anticipated capital requirements in light of the significant uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance, available debt facilities, current business plan and revenue prospects, the Company believes that it will have sufficient cash resources and anticipated cash flows to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. However, the Company is unable to predict with certainty the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its effect on global supply chain and logistics, will have on its ability to maintain compliance with the debt covenants contained in the credit agreement related to its Credit Facilities (as such terms are defined in Note 10 below), including financial covenants regarding the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and consolidated senior net leverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with such covenants at June 30, 2022. Failure to meet the covenant requirements in the future could cause the Company to be in default and the maturity of the related debt could be accelerated and become immediately payable. This may require the Company to obtain waivers or amendments to the credit agreement in order to maintain compliance and there can be no certainty that any such waiver or amendment will be available, or what the cost of such waiver or amendment, if obtained, would be. If the Company is unable to obtain necessary waivers or amendment and the debt under such credit facility is accelerated, the Company would be required to obtain replacement financing at prevailing market rates, which may not be favorable to the Company. There is no guarantee that the Company would be able to satisfy its obligations if any of its indebtedness is accelerated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements. The Company assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Key estimates and assumptions made by the Company relate to revenue recognition and the assessment of stand-alone selling price (“SSP”), assessment of recoverability of goodwill, valuation of the Company's equity method investment in the JV, valuation of inventories, annual performance related bonuses, allowance for credit losses and loss contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Foreign Currency

The Company’s international subsidiaries use their local currencies as their functional currencies. For those subsidiaries, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts at the average exchange rate. Resulting translation adjustments are excluded from the determination of net income (loss) and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Net foreign currency exchange transaction gains or losses are included as a component of other expense, net, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments including cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are approximately equal to their respective fair values due to the relatively short‐term nature of these instruments. Also refer to Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, for further details.

101

Table of Contents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers currency on hand, demand deposits, time deposits, and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in various financial institutions in the United States and internationally.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are mainly deposited with several major financial institutions. At times, deposits in these institutions exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant risk on these balances.

The Company had one customer that represented 10% or more of total net revenue for the year ended June 30, 2022 and one and no customer that represented 10% or more of total net revenue for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company hadtwo customers as of June 30, 2022 and two customers as of June 30, 2021, respectively that each accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable, net.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Accounts receivable are deemed past due in accordance with the contractual terms of the agreement. Accounts are charged against the allowance for credit losses once collection efforts are unsuccessful. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations.

Single‐source suppliers presently provide the Company with several components. In most cases, if a supplier was unable to deliver these components, the Company believes that it would be able to find other sources for these components subject to any regulatory qualifications, if required.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily consists of cash that is temporarily held in bank accounts which are under the control of the lender to the New Credit Facility, certificates of deposit held as guarantees in connection with customer contracts and corporate leases as well as funds held as guarantees for Value‐Added Tax (VAT) obligations in a foreign jurisdiction.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first‐in, first‐out basis) or net realizable value. Excess and obsolete inventories are written down based on historical sales and forecasted demand, as judged by management.

102

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue consists of product revenue resulting from the sale of systems, system upgrades and service revenue. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when there is a legally enforceable contract between the Company and its customer, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of the contract consideration is probable. The Company’s revenues are measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with each customer, net of any discounts and taxes collected from customers that are remitted to government authorities.

The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from sales of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy platforms and services, which include post-contract customer support (“PCS”), installation services, training and other professional services.

The majority of the Company's revenue arrangements consist of multiple performance obligations, which can include system, upgrades, installation, training, services, construction, and consumables. For bundled arrangements, the Company accounts for individual products and services separately if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer.

The Company’s products are generally sold without a right of return, and the Company’s contracts generally provide a fixed transaction price. The Company may offer incentives in the form of discounts, including volume system discounts, which are included in the contract and used to calculate the final fixed price of the arrangement. These discounts may pertain to all performance obligations in a specific contract or may be allocated to a specific performance obligation. The Company reviews payment terms extending beyond one year. If it is determined that a material financing component exists, we recognized as interest income over time. The Company applies the practical expedient to not adjust for a significant financing component if the gap between payment and delivery was expected, at the contract inception, to be less than one year.

The Company offers customers the opportunity to trade in their older systems for a discount off the purchase of a new system. The Company generally does not provide specific trade-in prices or upgrade rights at the time of purchase of the original system. Trade-in or upgrade transactions are based on the then fair value of the system and are separately negotiated taking into consideration circumstances existing at the time of the trade-in or upgrade. Accordingly, implied trade-ins and upgrades discounts are not considered separate performance obligations in system sales agreements. When systems are traded in, historically, the Company was able to recondition (re-new) the traded-in systems and resell them. In such transactions, the Company would estimate the stand-alone selling price of the traded-in system and include such amount as additional transaction price in the new bundled system sale. During fiscal year 2020, however, demand for reconditioned systems decreased, and no fair value has been assigned to any of the systems that were traded-in during fiscal year 2021 and 2022. These trade-in systems may be used for spare parts harvesting in certain cases. Such spare parts generally require reconditioning.

The SSP of performance obligations is determined based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells the products and services. If the SSP is not directly observable, then the Company will estimate the SSP considering market conditions, entity-specific factors, and information about the customer or class of customer that is reasonably available. The contract consideration allocation is based on the SSP at contract inception. The consideration (net of any discounts) is allocated among separate products and services in a bundle based on their relative SSPs. Contract modifications typically add additional goods or services or change pricing. For such modifications, the most recent SSP is used for reallocation to the remaining performance obligations.

The Company recognizes revenue for certain performance obligations at the point in time when control is transferred, such as delivery of products and upgrades. Service revenue is recognized over the term of the service period as the customer benefits from the services throughout the service period. Revenue related to services that are not part of a service contract and performed on a time-and-materials basis are recognized when performed. Service contracts recognized over time comprise a single stand-ready performance obligation satisfied over time as our customers simultaneously receive and consume benefits from the Company's performance. This performance obligation constitutes a series of services that are substantially the same and provided over time using the same measure of progress. Revenues derived from these arrangements are recognized over time using an output method based upon the passage of time as this provides a faithful depiction of the pattern of transfer of control.

103

Table of Contents

The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer when the Company expects to generate future economic benefits from the related revenue-generating contracts. The Company capitalizes incremental contract acquisition costs, and amortizes such costs over a five year period, the period which the Company expects to benefit, based on historical service renewal rates, and expectations of future customer renewals. Most of the Company’s contract costs are associated with its internal sales force compensation program and a portion of its employee bonus program. The Company capitalizes and amortizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract, primarily related to certain bonuses and sales commissions. The capitalized bonuses and sales commissions are amortized over a period of five years commencing upon the initial transfer of control of the system to the customer. The pattern of amortization is commensurate with the pattern of transfer of control of the performance obligations to the customer. The amortization of these contract assets is included in cost of sales, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses based on department headcount allocations in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company elected to use the practical expedient and expense as incurred commissions related to service renewals and upgrades because the amortization period be one year or less.

The Company invoices its customers based on the billing schedules in its sales arrangements. Payment terms vary from 30 to 90 days, or longer, from the date of invoice. Contract assets for the periods presented primarily represent the difference between the revenue that was recognized based on the relative standalone selling price of the related performance obligations satisfied and the contractual billing terms. Deferred revenue for periods presented primarily relates to service contracts where the service fees are billed up-front, generally quarterly or annually, prior to services being performed. The associated deferred revenue is generally recognized over the term of the service period. The Company did not have any significant impairment losses on its contract assets for any period presented.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of unfulfilled obligations from open contracts for which performance has already started including short-shipped items, deferred warranty, training, maintenance services and other unperformed or incomplete performance obligations. Service contracts outside of the warranty period, for maintenance services, in general, are considered month-to-month contracts. Deferred revenue includes deferred warranty expected to be recognized over the remaining warranty period for system already installed.

Customer Advances

Customer advances represent payments made by customers in advance of product shipment.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight‐line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight‐line basis over the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over five years. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over four years. Computer and office equipment and computer software are depreciated over three years. Repairs and maintenance costs, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of the property and equipment, are expensed as incurred.

Software Capitalization Costs

Costs for the development of new software products and substantial enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs would be capitalized. No costs associated with the development of software have been capitalized as the Company believes its current software development process is essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility.

Impairment of Long‐Lived Assets

104

Table of Contents

The Company reviews long‐lived assets, including intangible assets, equity method investment in the JV, property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable using pretax undiscounted cash flows. Impairment, if any, is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of a long‐lived asset exceeds its fair value.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis and when impairment indicators are present. The Company has assessed that it has one operating segment and one reporting unit, and the consolidated net assets, including existing goodwill and other intangible assets, are considered to be the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company estimates the fair value of the reporting unit based on the Company’s closing stock price on the trading day closest to the annual review date multiplied by the outstanding shares on that date. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, an impairment may exist, and the Company must perform the second step of the analysis, in which the estimated fair value of the goodwill is compared to its carrying value to determine the impairment charge, if any. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further analysis is required. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance that simplifies the testing for goodwill impairment in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. There was no impairment of goodwill identified in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Shipping and Handling

The Company’s billings for shipping and handling for product shipments to customers are included in cost of products. Shipping and handling costs incurred for inventory purchases are capitalized in inventory and expensed in cost of products.

Advertising Expenses

The Company expenses the costs of advertising and promoting its products and services as incurred. Advertising expenses were approximately $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are included in selling and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Research and Development Costs

Costs related to research, design and development of products are charged to research and development expense as incurred. These costs include direct compensation, benefits, and other headcount related costs for research and development personnel; costs for materials used in research and development activities; costs for outside services and allocated portions of facilities and other corporate costs. The Company has entered into research and clinical study arrangements with selected hospitals, cancer treatment centers, academic institutions and research institutions worldwide. These agreements support the Company’s internal research and development capabilities.

Share‐Based Compensation

The Company issues share‐based compensation awards to employees and directors in the form of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance units (PSUs), market stock units (MSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) awards (collectively, awards). The exercise price of stock options granted is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Table of Contents

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock‐based awards based on the awards’ fair value. Share‐based compensation for RSUs and PSUs is measured based on the value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The Company uses the Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the grant date fair value of MSUs. Share‐based compensation for employee stock options and ESPP awards are measured on the date of grant using a Black‐Scholes option pricing model.

Awards vest either on a vesting schedule or in a lump sum. The Company determines the fair value of each award as a single award and recognizes the expense on a straight‐line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period. Stock options expire ten years from the date of grant.

Share‐based compensation expense for stock options, RSUs, PSUs and the ESPP awards is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, and the expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures. With respect to Performance Stock Units that are based on our corporate financial performance targets, or PSUs, the number of PSUs that will ultimately be awarded is contingent on the Company’s actual level of achievement compared to the corporate financial target performance targets. The Company recognizes expense for MSUs net of estimated forfeitures and does not adjust the expense for subsequent changes in the expected outcome of the market‐based vesting conditions.

Loss Contingencies

The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company reviews these provisions quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for loss periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to stockholders follows (in thousands):

The potentially dilutive shares of the Company’s common stock resulting from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, the vesting of Restricted Stock Units (RSU), Market Stock Units (MSU) and Performance Stock Units (PSU), and the purchase of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP), as determined under the treasury stock method, are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share when their effect would have been anti‐dilutive. Additionally, the outstanding 3.75% Convertible Notes due July 2022 (the “3.75% Convertible Notes due 2022”) and the 3.75% Convertible Notes due June 2026 (the “3.75% Convertible Notes due 2026” and together with the 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2022, the “Notes”) are included in the calculation of diluted net income per share only if their inclusion is dilutive for periods during which the notes were outstanding.

Outstanding Convertible Notes—Diluted Share Impact

Due to the optional cash settlement feature and management’s intent to settle the principal amount thereof in cash, the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2022 and 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2026 outstanding as of June 30, 2022, totaling approximately0.5 million shares and17.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, as of June 30, 2022, the effect of adding the shares were antidilutive and were not included in the basic and diluted net loss per common share table above. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes due 2022 outstanding as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, totaled approximately 0.5 million and 14.9 million shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock and the effect of adding the shares were antidilutive and were not included in the basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share table above.

Leases

The Company is the lessee in a lease contract when the Company obtains the right to use the asset. Operating leases are included in the line items right-of-use asset, lease obligation, current, and lease obligation, long-term in the consolidated balance sheet. Right-of-use asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent the Company’s obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease, both of which are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company determines the lease term by agreement with lessor, including lease renewal and extension. As the leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.

Equity Method Investment

In 2020, the Company adopted a new accounting policy related to equity method investments in connection with its equity investment in CNNC Accuray (Tianjin) Medical Technology Co. Ltd., the Company’s joint venture in China (the “JV”). The equity method investment that the Company holds in the JV for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the JV but lacks a controlling financial interest in the JV. The equity method investment is measured at cost and adjusted for impairment, if any, for the Company’s share of the JV's income or loss and intra-entity profits. The Company recognizes its proportionate share of income or loss from the JV on a one-quarter lag due to the timing of the availability of the JV’s financial records. Profit earned by the Company from the JV is eliminated through cost of goods sold until it is realized; such profits would generally be considered realized when the inventory has been sold through to third parties.

Equity method goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis and when impairment indicators are present. Our impairment analysis considers qualitative and quantitative factors that may have a significant impact on the JV's fair value. Qualitative factors include the investee's financial condition and business outlook, industry and sector performance, operational and financing cash flow activities, and other relevant factors affecting the JV. When indicators of impairment exist, we prepare quantitative assessments of the fair value of our non-marketable equity investments, which require judgment and the use of estimates, including discount rates, investee revenue and costs, and comparable market data, among others.

Income Taxes

The Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates prior to the completion and filing of tax returns for such periods. This process involves estimating actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences in the treatment of items for tax purposes versus financial accounting purposes that may create net deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires, among other things, that deferred income taxes be provided for temporary differences between the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts. In addition, deferred tax assets are recorded for the future benefit of utilizing net operating losses, research and development credit carryforwards and other deferred tax assets.

The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized. Because of the uncertainty of the realization of the deferred tax assets, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its domestic and certain foreign net deferred tax assets.

The calculation of unrecognized tax benefits involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. Management regularly assesses the Company’s tax positions in light of legislative, bilateral tax treaty, regulatory and judicial developments in the countries in which the Company does business. The Company anticipates there will be no material changes in uncertain tax positions in the next 12 months.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The components of comprehensive income (loss) consist of net income (loss), changes in foreign currency exchange rate translation and net changes related to a defined benefit pension plan. The changes in foreign currency exchange rate translation and net changes related to the defined benefit pension plan are excluded from earnings and reported as a component of stockholders’ equity. The foreign currency translation adjustment results from those subsidiaries not using the United States dollar as their functional currency since the majority of their economic activities are primarily denominated in their applicable local currency. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities related to these operations are translated at the current exchange rates at the end of each period, whereas revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded directly to the accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholders’ equity.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncement Recently Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). Under ASU No. 2020-06, the embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The new guidance also requires the if-converted method to be applied for all convertible instruments when calculating diluted earnings per share. The Company adopted this standard effective July 1, 2021, using a modified retrospective method, under which financial results reported in prior periods were not adjusted. The Company applied the provisions of this guidance to our 3.75% convertible senior notes due June 2026 (“2026 Notes”). Upon adoption, the Company recorded an increase to Accumulated deficit of $0.8 million, a decrease to Additional paid-in capital of $25.6 million and an increase to Debt of $24.8 million. There was no impact to diluted loss per share as the inclusion of potential shares of common stock related to the 2026 Notes would have been anti-dilutive. For further information, see Note 10, Debt.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In March 2020, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2020-04) establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company’s New Term Loan Facility and

New Revolving Credit Facility applies Eurodollar rate LIBOR to the variable component of the interest rate, if a Benchmark transition event, or an early opt-in election, as applicable occurred a transition to the use of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") to replace such rate. This accounting standard update was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance and our options related to the practical expedients.

In April 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, which included Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share”. This guidance clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options due to a lack of explicit guidance in the FASB Codification. The ASU 2021-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2021-04 on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The amendment addresses how to account for contract assets recognized under Topic 606 in a business combination. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2021-08 will have on its financial statements.

Note 3. Revenue

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in trade receivables, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenues on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company may offer longer or extended payments of more than one year for qualified customers in some circumstances. At times, revenue recognition occurs before the billing, resulting in an unbilled receivable, which represents a contract asset. The contract asset is a component of accounts receivable and other assets for the current and non-current portions, respectively.

When the Company receives advances or deposits from customers before revenue is recognized, this results in a contract liability. It can take up to two and half years from the time of order to revenue recognition due to the Company’s long sales cycle.

Changes in the contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) Amount Amount $ %

Assets:

Interest receivable – current (2) 493 512 (19 ) (4 )

Liabilities:

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent deferred revenue from open contracts for which performance has already started and the transaction price from executed contracts for which performance has not yet started. Service contracts in general are considered month-to-month contracts.

As of June 30, 2022, total remaining performance obligations amounted to $1,104.4 million. Of this total amount, $69.1 million related to long-term warranty and service, such as non-cancellable post contract services and system warranty, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining service period and warranty period for systems that have been delivered, respectively.
