“If you are a patient, you should remember that Accuray’s CyberKnife is an alternative to surgery. It’s a non-invasive, painless out-patient procedure. The Cyberknife can treat inoperable tumors, and even if operable, you don’t want to cut open the patient, crack open their rib cage, and deflate their lungs in order to treat a lung tumor or invasively treat a tumor that is wrapped around the spine. It may be inoperable in that case. Our technology offers the means to deliver high doses of radiation...” - Robert E. McNamara (ARAY) (Interview published May 30, 2008) |

Accuray Announces Results for the Fourth
Quarter and Fiscal Year End 2008
28 New Contracts Valued at $115.5 Million Signed in Fourth Quarter SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Accuray Incorporated (Nasdaq: ARAY), a global leader in the field of radiosurgery, announced today financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 28, 2008. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, Accuray reported total revenue of $50.9 million, a 16 percent increase over fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 total revenue of $44.0 million. For the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008, total revenue was $210.4 million, a 50 percent increase over the $140.5 million in total revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $191,000, or breakeven on a per diluted share basis, compared to net income of $502,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Net income for fiscal year 2008 was $5.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the fiscal year 2007. Non-cash, stock based compensation charges for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 were $4.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. For the full fiscal year 2008, non-cash stock-based compensation charges were $16.9 million, or $0.28 per diluted share. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the company signed 28 new contracts with a value of $115.5 million which were entered into backlog. Of the 28 contracts, 17 came from international customers. At June 28, 2008, backlog was approximately $647 million, with approximately $359 million associated with CyberKnife(R) Robotic Radiosurgery System contracts and approximately $288 million associated with services and other recurring revenue. Accuray's backlog is composed of signed contracts that the company believes have a substantially high probability of being recognized as revenue in future periods. Of the $647 million in backlog at fiscal year end, 71 percent consisted of non-contingent contracts, representing backlog for which contractual contingencies have been satisfied. Accuray's cash and investment balances at the end of the quarter totaled $159.5 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $36.9 million, short-term investments of $85.5 million and long-term investments of $37.0 million. At the end of the fourth quarter the company continued to have zero debt. "We ended the fiscal year with strong momentum in new contracts and the quality of our sales pipeline, confirming the growing demand for our CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System," said Euan S. Thomson, Ph.D., president and CEO of Accuray. "Cancer patients, physicians and hospitals worldwide are benefiting from the non-invasive, painless, outpatient treatment offered by our System." Outlook The following statement is forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Accuray expects revenue for fiscal 2009 to be in the range of $230 million to $250 million.
