“Financially, the first six months of the year were weak. The profit is declining faster than the revenues due to the investment in our proprietary RayStation® treatment planning system where costs were incurred for development, marketing and the build-up of the sales and service organizations, but we have not yet benefitted from significant revenues from the product,” says Johan Löf, President of RaySearch.
“We are however starting to see results from our RayStation® sales effort. In August, we announced three new orders from clinics in New Jersey and New York with a combined order value exceeding one million US dollars,” concludes Johan Löf.
