Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business

 

Accuray Incorporated (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Accuray”) is incorporated in Delaware. The Company designs, develops and sells advanced radiosurgery and radiation therapy systems for the treatment of tumors throughout the body. The Company conducts its business worldwide. The Company has its headquarters in Sunnyvale, California, with additional locations worldwide.

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed 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 condensed 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”). Certain information and note disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending June 30, 2015, for any other interim period or for any future year.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended June 30, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to those audited consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Standard Update Not Yet Effective

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company in its first quarter of fiscal 2018 using either of two methods: (i) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09; or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements. Key estimates and assumptions made by the Company relate to revenue recognition, assessment of recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of inventories, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, allowance for doubtful accounts, loss contingencies and corporate bonus expenses. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks

 

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and investments are 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.

Table of Contents

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no customers that represented 10% or more of total net revenue. At September 30, 2014, no customers accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable. At June 30, 2014, one customer accounted for 13% of accounts receivable.

 

Accounts receivable are typically not collateralized. 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 doubtful accounts once collection efforts are unsuccessful.

 

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.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company earns revenue from the sale of products and related services. The Company records its revenues net of any value added or sales tax. For arrangements with multiple elements, the Company allocates arrangement fees to product and services based upon Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value of the respective elements, Third-Party Evidence (“TPE”), or Best Estimate of Selling Price (“BESP”), using the relative selling price method.

 

Product and Service Revenue

 

The majority of product revenue is generated from sales of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy systems. If the Company is responsible for installation, the Company recognizes revenue after installation and acceptance of the system. Otherwise, revenue is recognized upon delivery, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

 

The Company offers its systems with post-contract customer support (“PCS”) contracts, installation services, training, and professional services. PCS contracts provide planned and corrective maintenance services, software updates, bug fixes, as well as call-center support. Service revenue is generated primarily from PCS (warranty period services and post warranty services), installation services, training, parts and upgrades that are sold under service contracts, and professional services. PCS revenue is deferred and recognized over the service period. Installation service revenue is recognized concurrent with system revenue. Training and professional service revenues that are not deemed essential to the functionality of the systems are recognized as such services are performed.

 

Costs associated with service revenue are expensed when incurred, except when those costs are related to parts or system upgrades where revenue recognition has been deferred. In those cases, the costs are deferred and are recognized over the period of revenue recognition.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net 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 loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due August 1, 2016 (the “3.75% Convertible Notes”), the 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due February 1, 2018 (the “3.50% Convertible Notes”) and the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes (the “3.50% Series A Convertible Notes”) due February 1, 2018 (together, the “Convertible Notes”) are included in the calculation of diluted net income per share only if their inclusion is dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the potentially dilutive shares under the Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth all potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation in the table above because their effect would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):

Outstanding Convertibles Notes—Diluted Share Impact

 

The 3.75% Convertible Notes and 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes have an optional physical (share), cash or combination settlement feature and contain certain conditional conversion features. Due to the optional cash settlement feature and management’s intent to settle the principal amount thereof in cash, the conversion shares underlying the outstanding principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes and 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes, totaling approximately 10.6 million shares and 13.2 million shares, respectively, were not included in the potentially diluted share count table above. The Company’s average stock price did not exceed the conversion price of the 3.75% Convertible Notes as of September 30, 2014 and 2013. The 3.4 million potentially dilutive shares of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes included in the table above represent the premium over the principal amount due to the higher average share price. The number of premium shares included in the Company’s diluted share count will vary with fluctuations in the Company’s share price. Higher actual share prices result in a greater number of premium shares.

 

Segment Information

 

The Company has determined that it operates in only one segment, as it only reports profit and loss information on an aggregate basis to its chief operating decision maker. Revenue by geographic region is based on the shipping addresses of the Company’s customers. The following summarizes revenue by geographic region (in thousands):

2. Balance Sheet Components

 

Financing receivables

 

A financing receivable is a contractual right to receive money, on demand or on fixed or determinable dates, that is recognized as an asset in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company’s financing receivables, consisting of its accounts receivable with contractual maturities of more than one year, totaled $0.7 million and $2.8 million at September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively and are included in Other Assets in the consolidated balance sheets. There was no balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts related to such financing receivables as of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively, as revenue is recognized on a cash basis for these receivables.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that there was no impairment to goodwill. The Company will continue to monitor its recorded goodwill for indicators of impairment. In the three months ended September 30, 2014, there were no indications of impairment.

 

In connection with the acquisition of TomoTherapy in fiscal year 2011, the Company recognized liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of purchase accounting. During its first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company determined that certain of these liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits were recorded in error. The Company evaluated the effects of this error on the financial statements and concluded that the error was not material to any prior annual or interim periods or the current period. In September of 2013, the Company reduced goodwill and accrued liabilities by $1.3 million to remove the liability recorded in error.

4. Financial Instruments

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments held at major banks, certificates of deposit and other securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

The Company classifies all of its investments as available-for-sale at the time of purchase because it is management’s intent that these investments are available for current operations and includes these investments on its balance sheets as short-term investments. Investments with original maturities longer than three months include commercial papers, U.S. agency securities, non-U.S. government securities and investment-grade corporate debt securities. Investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair market value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses are recorded based on specific identification of each security’s cost basis.

 

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:

 

Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2— Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:

 

·                  Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

·                  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets;

·                  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

·                  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Table of Contents

 

Level 3— Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

 

The following tables summarize the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair value by significant investment category for cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments (in thousands):

The Company’s Level 2 investments in the table above are classified as Level 2 items because quoted prices in an active market are not readily accessible for those specific financial assets, or the Company may have relied on alternative pricing methods that do not rely exclusively on quoted prices to determine the fair value of the investments.

 

The Company had investments that were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2014. The Company determined that (i) it does not have the intent to sell any of these investments and (ii) it is not likely that it will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. The Company reviews its investments to identify and evaluate investments that have an indication of possible impairment. As of September 30, 2014, the Company anticipates that it will recover the entire carrying value of such investments and has determined that no other-than-temporary impairments associated with credit losses were required to be recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company’s contractual obligations were presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the previous annual reporting period ended June 30, 2014. There have been no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in those obligations during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Currently, management believes the Company does not have any probable and estimable losses related to any current legal proceedings and claims. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, except as described below, management does not believe that an adverse determination with respect to any of these claims would individually or in the aggregate materially adversely affect its financial condition or operating results. For certain legal proceedings, management believes that there is a reasonable possibility that losses may be incurred. Management currently estimates a range of loss (in excess of amounts accrued) between zero and $0.5 million in the aggregate for such legal proceedings, where it is possible to make such estimates. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, the Company could incur significant charges related to legal matters that could have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

 

Rotary Systems

 

On April 28, 2011, a former supplier to TomoTherapy, Rotary Systems Incorporated, filed suit in Minnesota state court, Tenth Judicial District, Anoka County, against TomoTherapy alleging misappropriation of trade secrets, as well as several other counts alleging various theories of injury. Rotary Systems alleges TomoTherapy misappropriated Rotary Systems’ trade secrets pertaining to a component previously purchased from Rotary Systems, which component TomoTherapy now purchases from a different supplier. The suit alleges TomoTherapy improperly supplied the alleged trade secrets to its present supplier, Dynamic Sealing Technologies Inc. (also a named defendant in the suit). Rotary Systems has made an unspecified claim for damages of greater than $50,000. TomoTherapy moved to dismiss the case on May 19, 2011, and on August 29, 2011, the court granted the motion to dismiss with respect to all counts other than the count alleging misappropriation of trade secrets. On May 21, 2012, the court granted the Company’s motion for sanctions, in part, and gave Rotary Systems sixty days to identify the alleged trade secrets with specificity or face dismissal of its claim with prejudice. The court held a hearing on September 20, 2012 to review Rotary Systems’ amended complaint and set a calendar for discovery. The court ruled on the amended complaint, and the parties have started discovery, which was originally expected to be completed by October 2013. The parties jointly asked the court to extend discovery until February 2014. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment and, on September 11, 2013, the court held a hearing on the Company’s motion for summary judgment and to stay discovery pending the ruling on the summary judgment motion. On December 5, 2013, the court ruled in favor of the Company. Rotary Systems filed its notice of appeal on January 29, 2014. On April 14, 2014, Rotary Systems filed its appellant brief with the court. On June 2, 2014, the Company filed its response brief, and on June 27, 2014, Rotary Systems filed its reply brief with the court. The court heard oral argument on September 24, 2014. The Company anticipates that the court will issue its decision by the end of calendar year 2014.

 

Sarif Biomedical Patent Litigation

 

On January 28, 2013, Sarif Biomedical filed a patent infringement complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleges the Company’s CyberKnife System directly infringes U.S. Patent No. 5,755,725 and seeks unspecified monetary damages for the alleged infringement. Accuray filed an answer to the complaint in March 2013. The parties have exchanged initial discovery requests and responses. The court issued a scheduling order on April 29, 2014. Accuray made its first document production on May 30, 2014. Discovery closes on May 5, 2015, and trial is set for April 11, 2016.

Cowealth Medical

 

On February 27, 2014, Cowealth Medical Holding Co., Ltd. (“Cowealth”), Accuray’s former distributor in China, submitted a request for arbitration with the International Chamber of Commerce International Court of Arbitration (“ICC”) alleging, among other matters, that Accuray breached its distributor agreement with Cowealth by wrongfully terminating Cowealth as its distributor and misappropriated certain of Cowealth’s confidential information. Cowealth is seeking damages and injunctive relief. Accuray’s answer and counterclaim were submitted to the ICC on May 12, 2014, and Cowealth served its reply on June 27, 2014. A hearing has been set for January 27, 2015.

 

Software License Indemnity

 

Under the terms of the Company’s software license agreements with its customers, the Company agrees that in the event the software sold infringes upon any patent, copyright, trademark, or any other proprietary right of a third party, it will indemnify its customer licensees against any loss, expense, or liability from any damages that may be awarded against its customer. The Company includes this infringement indemnification in all of its software license agreements and selected managed services arrangements. In the event the customer cannot use the software or service due to infringement and the Company cannot obtain the right to use, replace or modify the license or service in a commercially feasible manner so that it no longer infringes, then the Company may terminate the license and provide the customer a refund of the fees paid by the customer for the infringing license or service. The Company has not recorded any liability associated with this indemnification, as it is not aware of any pending or threatened actions that represent probable losses as of September 30, 2014.

 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due August 2016

 

On August 1, 2011, the Company issued the 3.75% Convertible Notes to certain qualified institutional buyers, or QIBs. The 3.75% Convertible Notes were offered and sold to the QIBs pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Rule 144A. The net proceeds from the $100 million offering, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount and commission and the related offering costs, were approximately $96.1 million. The offering costs and the initial purchaser’s discount and commission (which are recorded in Other Assets) are both being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over five years. The 3.75% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2012. The 3.75% Convertible Notes will mature on August 1, 2016, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

 

The 3.75% Convertible Notes were issued under an Indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. Holders of the 3.75% Convertible Notes may convert their 3.75% Convertible Notes at any time on or after May 1, 2016 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Prior to May 1, 2016, holders of the 3.75% Convertible Notes may convert their 3.75% Convertible Notes only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2011, and only during such calendar quarter, if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for each of 20 or more trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading-day period (such five consecutive trading-day period, the “Note Measurement Period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Notes for each trading day of that Note Measurement Period was equal to or less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of shares of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate for such trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the 3.75% Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions as described in the Indenture. Upon conversion by holders of the 3.75% Convertible Notes, the Company will have the right to pay

or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock of the Company or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. At any time on or prior to the 33rd business day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Company may irrevocably elect to (a) deliver solely shares of common stock of the Company in respect of the Company’s conversion obligation or (b) pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock of the Company or a combination thereof in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes being converted. The initial conversion rate is 105.5548 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $9.47 per share of the Company’s common stock). The conversion rate, and thus the conversion price, are subject to adjustment as further described below.

 

 Holders of the 3.75% Convertible Notes who convert their 3.75% Convertible Notes in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change,” as defined in the Indenture, may be entitled to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate. Additionally, in the event of a “fundamental change,” as defined in the Indenture, holders of the 3.75% Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 3.75% Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date.

 

Prior to the maturity date, the Company may redeem for cash all or a portion of the 3.75% Convertible Notes if the closing sale price of its common stock exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price (the initial conversion price is approximately $9.47 per share of common stock) of such 3.75% Convertible Notes for at least 20 trading days during any consecutive 30 trading-day period (including the last trading day of such period).

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Company separately accounts for the liability and equity conversion components of the 3.75% Convertible Notes. The principal amount of the liability component of the 3.75% Convertible Notes was $75.9 million as of the date of issuance based on the present value of its cash flows using a discount rate of 10%, our approximate borrowing rate at the date of the issuance for a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. The carrying value of the equity conversion component was $24.1 million. A portion of the initial purchaser’s discount and commission and the offering costs totaling $0.9 million was allocated to the equity conversion component. The liability component is being accreted to the principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes using the effective interest method over five years.

 

3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due February 2018

 

In February 2013, the Company issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.50% Convertible Notes to certain QIBs. The 3.50% Convertible Notes were offered and sold to the QIBs pursuant to Rule 144A. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount and commission and the related offering costs, were approximately $110.5 million. The offering costs and the initial purchaser’s discount and commission (which are recorded in Other Assets) are both being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over five years. The 3.50% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on February 1 and August 1 of each year, which began on August 1, 2013. The 3.50% Convertible Notes will mature on February 1, 2018, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

 

In April 2014, through a series of transactions, the Company refinanced approximately $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Convertible Notes with approximately $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s new 3.50% Series A Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the “3.50% Series A Convertible Notes”). The remaining balance of the 3.50% Convertible Notes was $44.7 million as of September 30, 2014.

 

The 3.50% Convertible Notes were issued under an Indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. Holders of the 3.50% Convertible Notes may convert their 3.50% Convertible Notes at any time until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. The 3.50% Convertible Notes are convertible, as described below into common stock of the Company at an initial conversion rate equal to 187.6877 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.50% Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $5.33 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment.

 

Holders of the 3.50% Convertible Notes who convert their 3.50% Convertible Notes in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change”, as defined in the Indenture, may be entitled to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate. Additionally, in the event of a “fundamental change,” as defined in the Indenture, holders of the 3.50% Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 3.50% Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 3.50% Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date.

 

In accordance with guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options and ASC 815-15, Embedded Derivatives, the Company determined that the embedded conversion components of the 3.50% Convertible Note do not require bifurcation and separate accounting. The remaining $44.7 million principal amount of the 3.50% Convertible Note has been recorded in Long-term Debt on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014.

3.50% Series A Convertible Senior Notes due February 2018

 

On April 17, 2014, the Company entered into note exchange agreements with certain holders (the “Participating Holders”) of the 3.50% Convertible Notes to refinance approximately $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Convertible Notes with approximately $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the note exchange agreements, the Company also paid the Participating Holders an aggregate of approximately $0.4 million in cash in connection with such transactions. The principal amount of 3.50% Convertible Notes refinanced for each $1,000 principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes was $1,000 and the amount in cash paid per $1,000 principal amount of such 3.50% Convertible Notes delivered was determined in individual negotiations between the Company and each Participating Holder. The Series A Convertible Notes have the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the 3.50% Convertible Notes, except that the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s option.

 

The 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes were issued under an Indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. Holders of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes may convert their Securities at any time on or after November 1, 2017 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Prior to November 1, 2017, holders of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes may convert their Securities only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2014, and only during such calendar quarter, if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for each of 20 or more trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading-day period (such five consecutive trading-day period, the “Note Measurement Period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes for each trading day of that Securities Measurement Period was equal to or less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of shares of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate for such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions as described in the Indenture. Upon conversion by holders of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes, the Company will have the right to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock of the Company or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. At any time on or prior to the 17th business day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Company may irrevocably elect to (a) deliver solely shares of common stock of the Company in respect of the Company’s conversion obligation or (b) pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock of the Company or a combination thereof in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes being converted. The initial conversion rate is 187.6877 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $5.33 per share of the Company’s common stock). The conversion rate, and thus the conversion price, are subject to adjustment as further described below.

 

Holders of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes who convert their Notes in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change”, as defined in the Indenture, may be entitled to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate. Additionally, in the event of a “fundamental change,” as defined in the Indenture, holders of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 3.50% Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Company separately accounts for the liability and equity conversion components of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes. The principal amount of the liability component of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes was $62.5 million as of the date of issuance based on the present value of its cash flows using a discount rate of 7%, our approximate borrowing rate at the date of the issuance for a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. The carrying value of the equity conversion component was $7.9 million. In addition, the portion of the cash amount paid to the Participating Holders totaling $370 thousand was allocated to the debt discount with the remaining $47 thousand to equity component. The liability component is being accreted to the principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes using the effective interest method through the maturity in February 2018.

8. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

 

The components of comprehensive gain (loss) consist of net loss, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, changes in foreign currency exchange rate translation and net changes related to defined benefit pension plan. The unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, changes in foreign currency exchange rate translation and net changes related to 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. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded directly to the accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholders’ equity. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period.

Overview

 

Products and Markets

 

Accuray Incorporated is a radiation oncology company that develops, manufactures, sells and supports precise, innovative treatment solutions. Our leading edge technologies are designed to deliver advanced radiation therapy including radiosurgery, stereotactic body radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy, image guided radiation therapy and adaptive radiation therapy tailored to the specific needs of each patient. Our suite of products includes the CyberKnife® Systems and the TomoTherapy® Systems. The systems are complementary offerings, optimized to serve separate patient populations treated by the same medical specialty, with advanced capabilities that offer increased treatment flexibility.

 

The CyberKnife Systems are robotic systems designed to deliver radiosurgery treatments to cancer tumors anywhere in the body. The CyberKnife Systems are the only dedicated, full body robotic radiosurgery systems on the market. Radiosurgery is an alternative to traditional surgery for tumors and is performed on an outpatient basis in one to five treatment sessions. It allows for the treatment of patients who otherwise would not be treated with radiation, who may not be good candidates for surgery, or who desire non-surgical treatments. The use of radiosurgery with CyberKnife Systems to treat tumors throughout the body has grown significantly in recent years, but currently represents only a small portion of the patients who develop tumors treatable with CyberKnife Systems. A determination of when it may or may not be appropriate to use a CyberKnife System for treatment is at the discretion of the treating physician and depends on the specific patient. However, given the CyberKnife Systems’ design to treat focal tumors, the CyberKnife Systems are generally not used to treat (1) very large tumors, which are considerably wider than the radiation beam that can be delivered by CyberKnife Systems, (2) diffuse wide-spread disease, as is often the case for late stage cancers, because they are not localized (though CyberKnife Systems might be used to treat a focal area of the disease) and (3) systemic disease, like leukemias and lymphomas, which are not localized to an organ, but rather involve cells throughout the body

 

In October 2012, we introduced our CyberKnife M6 Series Systems that have the option of: fixed collimator, iris collimator, and/or multi-leaf collimator, or MLC. The initial supplier producing the MLC for our CyberKnife M6 Series Systems experienced low manufacturing yields and initially delivered only a small number of units. In addition, our initial life-cycle testing revealed that the MLC did not have the durability that we, and our customers, expect in our products. Subsequently, our internal testing of the MLC has been concluded to our satisfaction and we have begun our evaluation of the MLC in the field, with the goal of ensuring that we introduce a clinically effective and reliable collimator. While we are confident in our path forward, due to the complexity of the MLC, there is still some risk in this project that could cause further delays. In the meantime, and despite the delay in the launch of the MLC upgrade, we are continuing to book orders and install the CyberKnife M6 Series Systems with fixed and iris collimators.

Table of Contents

 

We believe that the long-term success of the CyberKnife System is dependent on a number of factors including the following:

 

·                  Adoption of the CyberKnife M6 Series Systems;

 

·                  Production and shipment of MLC that meets the standards that we, and our customers, expect in our products;

 

·                  Change in medical practice to utilize radiosurgery more regularly as an alternative to surgery or other treatments;

 

·                  Greater awareness among doctors and patients of the benefits of radiosurgery with CyberKnife Systems;

 

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

 

·                  Continued advances in technology that improve the quality of treatments and ease of use of CyberKnife Systems;

 

·                  Improved access to radiosurgery with CyberKnife Systems in various countries through regulatory approvals;

 

·                  Medical insurance reimbursement policies that cover CyberKnife System treatments; and

 

·                  Expansion of sales of CyberKnife Systems in countries throughout the world.

 

The TomoTherapy Systems are advanced, fully integrated and versatile radiation therapy systems for the treatment of a wide range of cancer types. In October 2012, we introduced TomoTherapy H Series Systems that come in configurations of TomoHTM, TomoHDTM and TomoHDATM. Radiation therapy is used in a variety of ways, often to treat tissue surrounding a tumor area after surgical removal of the tumor and also as the primary treatment for tumors. Radiation therapy treatments impact both cancer cells as well as healthy tissue; therefore the total prescribed radiation dose is divided into many fractions and delivered in an average of 25 to 35 treatment sessions over several weeks. Radiation therapy has been widely available and used in developed countries for decades, though many developing countries do not currently have a sufficient number of radiation therapy systems to adequately treat their domestic cancer patient populations. The number of radiation therapy systems in use and sold each year is currently many times larger than the number of radiosurgery systems. We believe the TomoTherapy Systems offer clinicians and patients significant benefits over other radiation therapy systems in the market. We believe our ability to capture more sales will be influenced by a number of factors including the following:

 

·                  Adoption of the TomoTherapy H Series Systems;

 

·                  Greater awareness among doctors and patients of the benefits of radiation therapy using TomoTherapy Systems;

 

·                  Advances in technology which improve the quality of treatments and ease of use of TomoTherapy Systems;

 

·                  Greater awareness among doctors of the improvement in reliability of TomoTherapy Systems; and

 

·                  Expansion of TomoTherapy System sales in countries throughout the world.

 

Sale of Our Products

 

Generating revenue from the sale of our systems is a lengthy process. Selling our systems, from first contact with a potential customer to a signed sales contract that meets backlog criteria varies significantly and could generally span six months to two years. The time from receipt of a signed contract to revenue recognition is governed generally by the time required by the customer to build, renovate or prepare the treatment room for installation of the system.

 

In the United States, while we primarily market to customers, including hospitals and stand-alone treatment facilities, directly through our sales organization, and we also market to customers through a sales agent and group purchasing organizations. Outside the United States, we market to customers directly and through distributors. We have sales and service offices in many countries in Europe, Japan and other countries in Asia, South America, and throughout the world.

 

Backlog

 

We report backlog in the following manner:

 

·                  Products: Orders for systems and upgrades are reported in backlog, excluding amounts attributable to post-contractual-services (warranty period services and post warranty services or PCS), installation, training and professional services.

 

·                  Service: Orders for PCS, upgrades acquired through the upgrade rights included in our service contracts, installation services, training and professional services are not reported in backlog.

 

18



Table of Contents

 

For orders that cover both products and services, only the portion of the order that will be recognized as product revenue is reported as backlog. The portion of the order that will be recognized as service revenue (for example, PCS) is not included in reported backlog. Product backlog totaled $364.0 million as of September 30, 2014. This included $37.6 million of orders for either CyberKnife M6 Systems configured with an MLC or orders for MLC units to upgrade existing installed CyberKnife M6 Systems. Additionally, for $29.2 million of CyberKnife orders, the customer has the option to upgrade to the new platform (M6) if the CyberKnife M6 Series is approved by regulatory authorities in its country prior to shipment. Product backlog totaled $364.7 million as of June 30, 2014.

 

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

 

·                  The contract is signed and properly executed by both the customer and us. A customer purchase order that is signed and incorporates the terms of our contract quote will be considered equivalent to a signed and executed contract;

 

·                  The contract is non-contingent - it either has cleared all its contingencies or contains no contingencies when signed;

 

·                  We have received a minimum deposit or a letter of credit; the sale is a direct channel sale to a government entity, or the product has shipped to a customer with credit sufficient to cover the minimum deposit;

 

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

 

·                  For orders in our Latin America region, we request supporting evidence that the end customer has commenced construction to place our products if the site does not already exist; and

 

·                  Less than 2.5 years have passed since the contract met all the criteria above. If more than 2.5 years have passed since the contract has met all of the requirements above, it is considered “aged-out” and the revenue associated with the contract is removed from our backlog calculation.

 

Although our backlog includes only contractual agreements from our customers to purchase CyberKnife Systems or TomoTherapy Systems, we cannot provide assurance that we will convert backlog into recognized revenue due to factors outside our control, which includes, without limitation, changes in customers’ needs or financial condition, changes in government or health insurance reimbursement policies, changes to regulatory requirements, or other reasons for cancellation of orders. In addition, 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 inability of the customer to pay, inability of the customer to adapt their facilities to accommodate our products in a timely manner, inability to timely obtain licenses necessary for customer facilities or operation of our equipment among other reasons for delays.

 

It is our expectation that we will experience a comparable level of age-outs during the second fiscal quarter of 2015 as we experienced in the first fiscal quarter of 2015. To the extent product revenues are greater than net orders during this period we will experience a decrease in backlog. We expect that age-outs beginning in the fourth fiscal quarter will return to levels comparable to the quarterly average for fiscal year 2014. As the improvements to the order process initiated by the Company 12 to 24 months ago are implemented, we anticipate that age-outs will decrease over time. However, our improvements to our order process may not have the intended effect of reducing age outs, which would have an adverse effect on our ability to recognize revenues from contracts that are included as backlog.

 

The below table is provided for comparison purposes only. Gross orders are defined as the sum of new orders recorded during the period adjusted for any revisions to existing orders during the period. Net product orders are defined as gross product orders less cancellations, age-outs and foreign exchange adjustments.

Gross orders decreased by $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to a decrease in orders of upgrades.

 

Net orders decreased by $27.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. Age-outs and cancellations were $20.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 in comparison to $3.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. In addition, gross orders were reduced by $6.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 due to negative foreign currency impacts. Our backlog includes amounts not denominated in U.S. Dollars and therefore fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar compared to other currencies will impact backlog. Generally, strengthening in the U.S. Dollar will negatively impact backlog. Foreign currency impact on product backlog in the three months ended September 30, 2013 was not material.

Net Revenue

 

Sales of our products outside of the Americas region account for a significant portion of our total net revenue. Revenue derived from sales outside of the Americas region was $43.9 million and $37.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and represented 53% and 49% of our net sales during these periods.

 

Product Net Revenue. Product net revenue increased by $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. Product net revenue increased $2.7 million primarily due to a higher number of units sold and also a higher average selling price due to product configuration mix. The number of units recognized in revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased by 8 percent as compared to the same period in fiscal 2013. In addition, product revenue upgrades increased by $0.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Services Net Revenue. Services net revenue increased by $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in services net revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in our installed base and customer conversion to higher priced maintenance contracts (particularly the TomoTherapy Systems).

 

Gross Profit

 

The overall gross profit and product margins for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was relatively unchanged as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. Services gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by 2 margin points primarily due to the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates and field service personnel costs because of a 4 percent increase in headcount to further focus on service excellence and customer satisfaction.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses were $14.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $13.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013, which represents an increase of $1.1 million, or 9%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million from increased grants of equity awards and higher values per grant, a $0.2 million increase in vacation expense due to less vacation taken during the period, a $0.2 million increase in consulting fees primarily due to the MLC related research and development activities, and a $0.4 million increase in allocation expense due to increase in facilities related expense allocated for research and development.

Selling and Marketing

 

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $18.0 million as compared to $14.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, which represents an increase of $3.5 million, or 24%. Headcount in selling and marketing increased by 15% in the first fiscal quarter of 2015 in comparison to the same period last year, resulting in an increase of compensation and compensation related expenses by $1.5 million. The increase in headcount is due to an increase in sales and commercial activities. In addition, stock-based compensation expense increased by $0.3 million due to the increase in grants of equity awards and higher values per grant. Sales commission expense increased by $1.1 million due to higher revenue amounts and higher commission rates in certain regions. Travel related expense increased by $0.4 million due to the increase in headcount. Marketing expense increased by $0.5 million primarily due to the Astro tradeshow held in the first fiscal quarter of 2015. These increases were offset by a decrease in consulting related expense of $0.4 million due to the completion of various consulting projects.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $11.0 million as compared to $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, which represents a decrease of $0.4 million, or 4%. Consulting related expenses decreased by $0.6 million due to the completion of various consulting projects. In addition, legal related fees decreased by $0.4 million primarily due to the completion of various outstanding litigation matters in prior year. There decreases were partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million due to the increase in grants of equity awards and higher values per grant

 

Other Expense, Net

 

Net other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $5.5 million as compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, which represents an increase of $3.0 million. The increase was primarily due to increased foreign currency translation expenses of $2.1 million primarily due to a stronger U.S. Dollar in comparison to the EURO and the Swiss Franc. Additionally, non cash interest expense increased by $0.7 million due to the refinancing of our 3.50% Convertible Notes into 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

 

Provision for Incomes Taxes

 

On a quarterly basis, the Company provides for income taxes based upon an estimated annual effective income tax rate. Income tax expense was $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to income tax expense of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily related to an increase in corporate earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At September 30, 2014, we had $107.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $45.4 million in short-term investments, for a total of $152.7 million. Cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to the risks included in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A titled “Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014. Also refer to Note 7, “Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of the Convertible Notes. Based on our 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.

 

In addition, the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries at September 30, 2014 are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and unavailable for distribution in the form of dividends or otherwise. Accordingly, no provisions for U.S. income taxes have been provided thereon. We anticipate that we have adequate liquidity and capital resources and would not need to repatriate earnings. As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately $60.2 million of cash and cash equivalents at our foreign subsidiaries.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $14.7 million, as compared to $11.3 million used in the three months ended September 30, 2013. Net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily related to:

 

·                  Net loss of $21.7 million;

 

·                  Net loss was offset by non-cash items of $10.8 million related to depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, amortization and accretion of discount and premium on investments, amortization of debt issuance costs, accretion of interest on long-term debt, recovery of doubtful accounts receivable and provision for excess and obsolete inventory;

 

·                  Decrease in accounts receivable of $17.7 million as a result of decreased sales of $19.6 million when compared to the previous fiscal quarter as well as more collections from the customers;

 

·                  Increase in inventories of $13.1 million due to increase in purchases to support expected future sales;

 

·                  Decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $3.2 million primarily due to the reduction of prepaid taxes of $2.7 million mostly in foreign locations due to settlements, and the transfer of non-current receivable of $2.7 million to a current accounts receivable account. The decrease was offset by an increase in prepaid insurance balance of $1.0 million due to the timing of payments, as well as an increase in prepaid commissions of $0.8 million due to higher commission rates in certain geographical regions; and

 

·                  Decrease in accrued liabilities of $13.2 million primarily related to the bonus accrual reduction of $11.2 million due to the payment made in the first fiscal quarter of 2015 offset by additional accrual for the three months period ended September 30, 2014. Foreign taxes payable decreased by $0.7 million and interest payable decreased by $1.4 million due to the timing of payments.

 

Net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily related to:

 

·                  Net loss of $15.5 million;

 

·                  Net loss was offset by non-cash items of $10.4 million primarily related to depreciation and amortization expenses, share-based compensation expenses, accretion of interest expense on the 3.75% Convertible Notes and provision for write-down of inventories;

 

·                  Increase in accounts receivable of $4.0 million due to higher billings;

 

·                  Increase in inventories of $6.8 million due to inventory purchases to support higher sales;

 

·                  Increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $2.1 million due to prepayments of insurance premiums and sales commissions;

 

·                  Increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3.8 million due to timing of vendor payments and accrued bonuses; and

 

·                  Increase in customer advances of $1.9 million and an increase in deferred revenue of $1.4 million due to the payments received for future revenue deliverables.

 

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $31.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, which primarily consisted of sales and maturities of short-term investments of $79.5 million partially offset by purchases of property and equipment of $2.7 million and purchases of investments of $45.7 million.

Table of Contents

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, which primarily consisted of purchases of property and equipment of $3.2 million, purchases of investments of $5.1 million partially offset by sales and maturities of short-term investments of $6.8 million.

 

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1.9 and $0.6 million, respectively, from proceeds from employee stock plans.

 

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;

 

·                  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; and

 

·                  Number and timing of acquisitions and other strategic transactions.

 

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least 12 months. If our cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain 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 in amounts or on terms acceptable to us or at all. 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.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

We presented our contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. There have been no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in those obligations during the current quarter.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed 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. Actual results could therefore differ materially from those estimates if actual conditions differ from our assumptions.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2014 we considered our estimated corporate bonus accrual to be a critical accounting estimate as it is paid out in the first quarter of the subsequent fiscal year. The Company’s bonus accrual for each quarter is based on its performance against Company defined metrics: net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and gross orders to backlog. There have been no other changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates, as discussed in Part II, Item 7 of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014, which we believe are those related to revenue recognition, assessment of recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of inventories, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, allowance for doubtful accounts and loss contingencies.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

 

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, such as risks related to fluctuations in foreign currencies. 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.

 

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 (loss). 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 a material impact on interest earnings for our portfolio. The following table presents the hypothetical change in fair values in the financial instruments we held at September 30, 2014 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The modeling technique used measures the change in fair values arising from selected potential changes in interest rates on our investment portfolio, which had a fair value of $45.4 million at September 30, 2014. Market changes reflect immediate hypothetical parallel shifts in the yield curve of plus or minus 100, 75, 50 and 25 basis points (in thousands).

Equity Price Risk

 

On August 1, 2011, we issued $100 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Notes. Upon conversion, we can settle the obligation by issuing our common stock, cash or a combination thereof at an initial conversion rate equal to 105.5548 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $9.47 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment. There is no equity price risk if the share price of our common stock is below $9.47 upon conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Notes. For every $1 that the share price of our common stock exceeds $9.47, we expect to issue an additional $10.6 million in cash or shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, if all of the 3.75% Convertible Notes are converted.

 

On April 24, 2014, we issued approximately $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes. Upon conversion, we can settle the obligation by issuing our common stock, cash or a combination thereof at an initial conversion rate equal to 187.6877 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $5.33 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment. There is no equity price risk if the share price of our common stock is below $5.33 upon conversion of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes. For every $1 that the share price of our common stock exceeds $5.33, we expect to issue an additional $13.2 million in cash or shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, if all of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes are converted.

 

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2014 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.               Legal Proceedings.

 

Please refer to Note 5, Commitments and Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements above for a description of certain legal proceedings currently pending against the Company.  From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.

 

Item 1A.            Risk Factors.

 

A description of the risk factors associated with our business is included under “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014, and is incorporated herein by reference. The descriptions below include material changes to the risk factors affecting our business that were previously disclosed in such filings. Any risk factor included below supersedes the description of the relevant risk factor in such filings. Other than the items discussed below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors since such filings.

 

We have a large accumulated deficit, may incur future losses and may be unable to achieve profitability.

 

As of September 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $376.7 million. We may incur net losses in the future, particularly as we improve our selling and marketing activities. Our ability to achieve and sustain long-term profitability is largely dependent on our ability to successfully market and sell the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems, control our costs, and effectively manage our growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve profitability. In the event we fail to achieve profitability, our stock price could decline.

 

As a strategy to assist our sales efforts, we may offer extended payment terms, which may potentially result in higher Days Sales Outstanding and greater payment defaults.

 

We offer longer or extended payment terms for qualified customers in some circumstances. As of September 30, 2014, customer contracts with extended payment terms of more than one year amounted to less than 2% of our accounts receivable balance. While we qualify customers to whom we offer longer or extended payment terms, their financial positions may change adversely over the longer time period given for payment. This may result in an increase in payment defaults, which would affect our future revenue, as we recognize revenue on such transactions on a cash basis.

 

Our liquidity could be adversely impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

 

At September 30, 2014, we had $107.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $45.4 million in investments. The available cash and cash equivalents are held in accounts managed by third party financial institutions and consist of cash in our operating accounts and cash invested in money market funds and certificates of deposit. The investments are managed by third party financial institutions and consist of U.S. agency, non-US government securities, corporate debt securities and commercial paper. To date, we have experienced no realized losses on or lack of access to our invested cash, cash equivalents or investments; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

 

25



Table of Contents

 

At any point in time, we also have funds in our operating accounts that are with third party financial institutions that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance limits. While we monitor daily the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or become subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in our operating accounts.

 

Our major stockholders own approximately 42% and directors and executive officers own approximately 0.9% of our outstanding common stock as of September 30, 2014, which could limit other stockholders’ ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including changes of control.

 

As of September 30, 2014, our current holders of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock held in the aggregate approximately 42% of our outstanding common stock, while our directors and executive officers held in the aggregate approximately 0.9% of our outstanding common stock. This concentration of ownership may delay, deter or prevent a change of control of our company and will make some transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of these stockholders.

 

Our operating results, including our quarterly orders, revenues and margins fluctuate from quarter and may be unpredictable, which may result in a decline in our stock price if such fluctuations result in a failure to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors.

 

We have experienced and expect in the future to experience fluctuations in our operating results, including gross orders, revenues and margins, from period to period.  Drivers of orders include the introduction and timing of announcement of new products or product enhancements by us and our competitors, as well as changes or anticipated changes in third party reimbursement amounts or policies applicable to treatments using our products. The availability of economic stimulus packages or other government funding, or reductions thereof, may also affect timing of customer purchases.  Our products have a high unit price and require significant capital expenditures by our customers. Accordingly, we experience long sales and implementation cycles, which is of greater concern during the current volatile economic environment where we have had customers delaying or cancelling orders. When orders are placed, installation, delivery or shipping, as applicable, is accomplished and the revenues recognized affect our quarterly results.  Further, because of the high unit price of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems and the relatively small number of units sold or installed each quarter, each sale or installation of a CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System can represent a significant percentage of our net orders, backlog or revenue for a particular quarter.

 

Once orders are received and booked into backlog, factors that may affect whether these orders become revenue (or are cancelled or deemed aged-out and reflected as a reduction in net orders) and the timing of revenue include:

 

·      delays in the customer obtaining funding or financing,

·      delays in construction at the customer site, or

·      delays in the customer obtaining receipt of regulatory approvals such as certificates of need.

 

Our quarterly operating results may also be affected by a number of other factors which are outside of our control, including:

 

·      timing of when we are able to recognize revenue associated with sales of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems, which varies depending upon the terms of the applicable sales and service contracts;

·      the proportion of revenue attributable to our legacy service plans;

·      timing and level of expenditures associated with new product development activities;

·      regulatory requirements in some states for a certificate of need prior to the installation of a radiation device;

·      delays in shipment due, for example, to unanticipated construction delays at customer locations where our products are to be installed, cancellations by customers, natural disasters or labor disturbances;

·      delays in our manufacturing processes or unexpected manufacturing difficulties;

·      timing of the announcement, introduction and delivery of new products or product upgrades by us and by our competitors;

·      timing and level of expenditures associated with expansion of sales and marketing activities such as trade shows and our overall operations; and

·      fluctuations in our gross margins and the factors that contribute to such fluctuations, as described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Because many of our operating expenses are based on anticipated sales and a high percentage of these expenses are fixed for the short term, a small variation in the timing of revenue recognition can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. Our overall gross margins are impacted by a number of factors described in our risk factor entitled Our ability to achieve profitability depends in part on maintaining or increasing our gross margins on product sales and service, which we may not be able to achieve.  If our gross margins fall below the expectation of securities analysts and investors, the trading price of our common stock would almost certainly decline.

 

We report on a quarterly and annual basis our orders and backlog. Unlike revenues, orders and backlog are not defined by GAAP, and are not within the scope of the audit conducted by our independent registered public accounting firm; therefore, investors should not interpret

 

26



Table of Contents

 

our orders or backlog in such a manner. Also, for the reasons set forth above, our orders and backlog cannot necessarily be relied upon as accurate predictors of future revenues. Order cancellation or significant delays in installation date will reduce our backlog and future revenues, and we cannot predict if or when orders will mature into revenues. Particularly high levels of cancellations or age-outs in one or more periods will make it difficult to compare our operating results. Our orders, backlog, revenues and net earnings in one or more future periods may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, which could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.

 

The long and variable sales and installation cycle for our CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems, which comprise a majority of our revenue, may cause our quarterly results to be inconsistent from period to period.

 

Our primary products are the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems. We expect to generate substantially all of our revenue for the foreseeable future from sales of and service contracts for the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems. The CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems have lengthy sales and purchase order cycles because they are major capital equipment items and require the approval of senior management at purchasing institutions. Selling our systems, from first contact with a potential customer to a complete order, generally spans six months to two years and involves personnel with multiple skills. The sales process in the United States typically begins with pre-selling activity followed by sales presentations and other sales related activities. After the customer has expressed an intention to purchase a CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System, we negotiate and enter into a definitive purchase contract with the customer. The negotiation of terms that are not standard for Accuray may require additional time and approvals. Typically, following the execution of the contract, the customer begins the building or renovation of a radiation-shielded facility to house the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System, which together with the subsequent installation of the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System, can take up to 24 months to complete. In order to construct this facility, the customer must typically obtain radiation device installation permits, which are granted by state and local government bodies, each of which may have different criteria for permit issuance. If a permit was denied for installation at a specific hospital or treatment center, our CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System could not be installed at that location. In addition, some of our customers are cancer centers or facilities that are new, and in these cases it may be necessary for the entire facility to be completed before the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System can be installed, which can result in additional construction and installation delays. Our sales and installations of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems tend to be heaviest during the third month of each fiscal quarter.

 

The long sales cycle, delays in the shipment and installation of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems or customer cancellations, could adversely affect our cash flows and revenue, which would harm our results of operations and may result in significant fluctuations in our reporting of quarterly revenues. Because of these fluctuations, it is likely that in some future quarters, our operating results will fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If that happens, the market price of our stock would likely decrease. These fluctuations also mean that you will not be able to rely upon our operating results in any particular period as an indication of future performance.

 

Increased leverage as a result of our Convertible Notes offerings may harm our financial condition and operating results.

 

As of September 30, 2014, we had total consolidated long-term liabilities of approximately $214.3 million, including the liability component of the 3.75% Convertible Notes in the amount of $89.8 million, the 3.50% Convertible Notes in the amount of $44.7 million and the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes of $62.9 million.

 

In April 2014, we refinanced approximately $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Convertible Notes held by the Participating Holders with approximately $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes. In connection with such transactions, we also paid the Participating Holders approximately $0.4 million in cash.

 

Our level of indebtedness could have important consequences to stockholders and note holders, because:

 

·      It could affect our ability to satisfy our obligations under the Convertible Notes;

 

·      A substantial portion of our cash flows from operations will have to be dedicated to interest and principal payments and may not be available for operations, working capital, capital expenditures, expansion, acquisitions or general corporate or other purposes;

 

·      It may impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future;

 

·      It may limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry; and

 

·      It may make us more vulnerable to downturns in our business, our industry or the economy in general.
