RaySearch : Laboratories INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1 - MARCH 31 , 2021 " In the first quarter of 2021 , net sales declined 22 percent due to lower license sales . Recurring support revenue rose 7 percent and accounts for 38 percent [ 28 ] of net sales . Operating profit totaled SEK 12 M ( 52 ) and cash flow was SEK 33 M ( -4 ) . ” FIRST QUARTER ( JANUARY - MARCH 2021 ) Order intake SEK 145.1 M ( 300.0 ) Net sales SEK 162.1 M ( 208.9 ) Operating profit SEK 12.3 M ( 51.6 ) Profit after tax SEK 7.1 M ( 40.5 ) Earnings per share before / after dilution SEK 0.21 ( 1.18 ) Cash flow SEK 32.8 M ( -4.2 ) Order backlog SEK 1,207.1 M ( 1,281.5 ) at the end of the period ● SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE FIRST QUARTER The RayStation® treatment planning system was sold to more leading cancer centers , including Legacy Cancer Institute in the US , the University Hospital in Krakow , Poland , Osaka City University Hospital and Kumamoto University Hospital in Japan . In addition , Inova Schar Cancer Institute in the US and Radiumhospitalet at Oslo University Hospital in Norway expanded their existing RayStation installations . In March , the Parent Company issued a short - term loan of SEK 200,000 to Vinstandelsstiftelsen RayFoundation on commercial terms . A wholly owned subsidiary has been established in Australia . THE COVID - 19 PANDEMIC The COVID - 19 pandemic with temporary reprioritisations in healthcare had a negative impact on sales in the first quarter . The market situation is gradually improving in line with the vaccine rollout and the recovery is expected to continue . At the same time , coronavirus cases are rising in some regions and it is unclear how long it will take before the vaccination program has an effect . RaySearch therefore expects that the negative effects of the COVID - 19 pandemic on the company's sales and earnings will continue for some months to come , mainly because orders may be delayed , but that the pandemic's effects on sales and earnings are expected to gradually diminish in 2021 . SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD In March 2021 , RaySearch breached an EBITDA - based covenant in the company's credit facility agreement with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken ( publ ) ( SEB ) with a credit limit of SEK 350 M , of which SEK 50 M was utilized . In April , SEB subsequently demanded repayment of the utilized SEK 50 M. However , the credit facility will be available for drawing as soon as the company once again meets all covenants contained in the agreement .
