SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 7, 2013 - Accuray Incorporated (Nasdaq: ARAY) today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 that ended March 31, 2013. Non-GAAP results are provided to enhance understanding of Accuray's ongoing core results of operations.
Recent highlights include an upturn in new orders booked in the third quarter, installation of the first new CyberKnife M6 Series and TomoTherapy H Series systems, and continued improvement in service revenue and gross profit margin.
"I am encouraged by the noticeable improvement in new order volume during the third quarter and the positive reception for our new products," said Joshua Levine, president and chief executive officer of Accuray. "We are starting to see the early benefits of the actions we have been taking to improve the commercial focus and execution of our business. We look forward to further unlocking the value in our two new product platforms as we continue to focus on optimizing our commercial execution."
Gross new product orders totaled $53.8 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2013, up from $39.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Net new product orders totaled $44.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2013, up from $17.9 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Ending product backlog of $297.9 million was 7% higher than $279.0 million at the end of the previous quarter, and $279.6 million at the end of the prior year third quarter.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, 7 units were shipped and 16 were installed, increasing Accuray's worldwide installed base to 693 systems.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2013 Accuray reported total consolidated GAAP revenue of $70.5 million and total non-GAAP revenue of $70.6 million. By comparison, for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, total GAAP revenue was $101.8 million and total non-GAAP revenue was $101.6 million. On a non-GAAP basis product revenue was down by 59 percent from the same quarter of the prior year.
The consolidated GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was 26.5 percent for products and 29.5 percent for services, compared to 45.9 percent for products and 20.7 percent for services for the third quarter of the prior year. The consolidated non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was 34.7 percent for products and 29.5 percent for service, compared to 53.5 percent and 16.1 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of the prior year. While we expect the underlying positive trend in our service gross margin to continue, we are likely to experience quarterly fluctuations as in past quarters.
During the second and third quarters of fiscal 2013 operating expenses included $4.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of severance and facilities consolidation costs related to our restructuring. Excluding these charges related to our restructuring, ongoing non-GAAP operating expenses totaled $39.8 million in the third quarter compared to $44.2 million in the second quarter which demonstrates significant progress towards our goal of reducing non-GAAP operating expenses to $38 million per quarter during fiscal year 2014 with some expected quarterly fluctuations.
Consolidated GAAP net loss attributable to stockholders for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $31.2 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to $14.9 million or $0.21 per share for the third quarter of the prior year. Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $27.6 million or $0.37 per share compared to $9.2 million or $0.13 per share for the third quarter of the prior year.
Accuray's cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $184.1 million as of March 31, 2013.
Outlook
Accuray management projects total revenue for fiscal 2013 of $310 million to $318 million on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, down from $320 million to $330 million projected after the end of our second quarter ended December 31, 2012.
