The earnings call highlighted positive developments such as growth in the U.S. market and successful product launches, but these were overshadowed by significant sales declines and margin pressures, particularly in Europe and Latin America. The outlook for China was cautiously optimistic, yet concerns remain about geopolitical risks and macroeconomic challenges.
Company Guidance
In the Q2 2025 earnings call for Elekta, the guidance highlighted several key metrics and developments. Net sales decreased by 4% in constant currencies, with growth in the U.S. offset by declines in Europe and Latin America. The gross margin was reported at 35.7%, a decline attributed to reduced net sales, market mix changes, particularly increased volumes in Ukraine, and a 90 basis point negative impact from foreign exchange rates. The adjusted EBIT margin fell to 9.8%, influenced by gross margin developments and higher amortization costs from recent product launches. Despite these challenges, the book-to-bill ratio was 0.99 for the quarter, with a rolling 12-month ratio of 1.09, indicating a strong foundation for future sales growth. Elekta's new product launches, including the Elekta Evo and Elekta ONE Planning, have been positively received, with ongoing installations in Europe and a recent submission to the U.S. FDA for premarket approval. The company has also reached its target of providing radiation therapy access to 300 million people in underserved markets ahead of schedule. Looking forward, Elekta anticipates mid-single-digit sales growth for the full year and aims for an EBIT margin expansion to 14% and higher beyond 2024-2025.
