Accuray Announces Results for Second Quarter Fiscal 2012

Achieves Solid Revenue, Positive Service Margins and Positive Cash Flow

Integration Performance Metrics Ahead of Plan; Remains on Track for Return to Profitability

SUNNYVALE, Calif., February 8, 2012 — Accuray Incorporated (Nasdaq: ARAY), the premier radiation oncology company, announced today financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 that ended December 31, 2011. The fiscal 2012 financial data presented below reflects the consolidation of both Accuray and TomoTherapy, a company that was acquired by Accuray in June 2011. Non-GAAP results are provided to enhance understanding of Accuray’s ongoing core results of operations.

Highlights from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 included solid revenue, positive service margins and effective management of operating expenses. Accuray continued to successfully execute its integration plans from its acquisition of TomoTherapy and reported integration performance metrics that met or exceeded the company’s stated goals. The company was cash-flow positive during the quarter and remains on track to return to profitability on a non-GAAP basis by the end of fiscal year 2013 as forecasted.

“We are pleased to achieve another quarter of solid revenue as our integration of TomoTherapy continues to progress well and our global installed base continues to expand,” said Euan S. Thomson, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Accuray. “We continue to capture competitive vault space, and as our installed base grows, so does our recurring service revenue. We remain ahead of plan with our TomoTherapy System reliability improvements and have made significant progress on improving service gross margins. Overall, we’re pleased to report that we remain on track to return to profitability on a non-GAAP basis as scheduled by the end of fiscal year 2013.”

For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, Accuray reported total consolidated GAAP revenue of $106.4 million and non-GAAP total revenue of $102.9 million. By comparison, for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the sum of the revenue reported by Accuray and TomoTherapy as separate companies totaled $116.3 million on a pro forma basis. The higher 2010 revenue was a result of historically

high legacy TomoTherapy revenue for the quarter due to calendar year-end shipment and installation activity. Legacy TomoTherapy’s fiscal year ended December 31. Non-GAAP revenue for the six-month period ended December 31, 2011 was $198.6 million, which is slightly higher than the same period in the prior year.

The consolidated GAAP gross profit margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was 48.6 percent for products and 21.2 percent for services. The consolidated non-GAAP gross profit margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was 55.8 percent for products and 12.3 percent for services. Positive service gross margins were driven largely by continued increase in reliability and reduction of service costs for TomoTherapy Systems. Accuray significantly improved service gross margins and with its reported metrics, remains ahead of plan for achieving at least 10 percent service margins by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and at least 20 percent by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 on a non-GAAP basis.

Consolidated GAAP net loss attributable to stockholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $10.4 million, or $0.15 per share. Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $7.1 million or $0.10 per share. By comparison, for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 the sum of the net losses reported by Accuray and TomoTherapy as separate companies totaled $1.9 million on a pro forma basis.

Accuray continues to see a significant sales pipeline in all four of its regional business units for both its CyberKnife and TomoTherapy technologies. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, $70.3 million of net new system orders were added to backlog, resulting in a total system backlog of $276.8 million as of December 31, 2011, an increase of 2.2 percent from the prior quarter.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, 25 units were shipped and 23 were installed, increasing the worldwide Accuray installed base to 616 systems.

Accuray’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $152.0 million as of December 31, 2011.

Outlook

The following statement, among others in this release, is forward-looking and actual results may differ materially.  During fiscal year 2012, Accuray expects that revenue will be in the range of $411 million to $426 million (GAAP), or $400 million to $415 million (non-GAAP).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, with respect to the three and six months ended December 31, 2011. “GAAP” refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Accuray closed the acquisition of TomoTherapy on June 10, 2011 and TomoTherapy’s operations since that date are included in Accuray’s consolidated results of operations. Accounting for the impact of this acquisition has resulted in changes to the value of assets and liabilities from the amounts reflected by TomoTherapy prior to the acquisition and the creation of incremental assets and liabilities including intangible assets for developed technology and backlog, and unfavorable lease obligations. These changes have impacted revenues and expenses recorded in Accuray’s consolidated statements of operations since the close of the acquisition. In addition, Accuray has incurred significant expenses as a result of the acquisition, some of which are one-time charges while others are expected to be incurred over fiscal 2012 for the integration of TomoTherapy.

To reflect the ongoing core results of operations of the Company, including adjusting for the impact of the acquisition of TomoTherapy, the Company has presented its operating results on an adjusted non- GAAP basis as well as in accordance with GAAP for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011. We use the following measures shown in the following tables, which are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. All adjustments to reconcile to GAAP relate to the acquisition of TomoTherapy except the adjustment to Other income (expense). The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to and facilitates additional analysis by investors. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its own budgeting and financial planning, as well as evaluating management performance for compensation purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, nor superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in conformity with GAAP.

For comparison purposes, we have also presented our pro forma results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 based on the combined total of the financial results previously reported by Accuray and TomoTherapy as separate companies, excluding expenses related to the acquisition incurred during this period. Please refer to the pro forma financial results tables starting on page 10 for additional details.
