Accuray's Second Quarter Financial Results Showcase Growth and Optimistic Guidance for Fiscal 2025
Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY), a leader in radiation therapy solutions, recently announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, which ended on December 31, 2024. The company's performance has shown a promising trajectory, highlighted by key metrics that indicate robust growth and an optimistic outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Key Highlights of Fiscal Q2 2025
During this quarter, Accuray achieved total net revenue of $116.2 million, marking an impressive increase of 8% compared to the previous year. Notably, the company's net income reached $2.5 million, a significant turnaround from a net loss of $9.6 million reported in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter rose to $9.6 million, substantially improving from $2.0 million the prior year.
Suzanne Winter, President and CEO of Accuray, attributed this surge in performance to the execution of the company's strategies aimed at enhancing radiotherapy care, improving patient access, and maximizing operating margins. She stated, "The growing demand for our solutions, particularly from emerging markets, has substantially contributed to our strong Q2 results. We have also witnessed notable momentum with our Tomo C System deliveries and recent wins with our new Helix system."

A deeper dive into the performance metrics reveals that product revenue in Q2 of fiscal 2025 reached $61.2 million, representing a significant increase of 19% from the prior year’s figure of $51.5 million. On the other hand, service revenue saw a slight decline to $55.0 million, down by 1% from $55.7 million the previous year.
The gross profit margin increased to $41.9 million, equating to 36.1% of total net revenue, a rise from the previous year’s 33.5% margin.
