2022-08-20 06:00:05 By : Ms. Beryl Huang

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

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

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

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

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

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

Medical insurance reimbursement policies that cover CyberKnife platform treatments; and

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

The Radixact System, the Next-Generation TomoTherapy Platform

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Order backlog at the end of the period $ 563,684 $ 616,399 $ 602,713
