Insights

Board installs experienced operators to accelerate a company-wide transformation and governance oversight.

The Board appointed Steve La Neve as CEO effective October 20, 2025 and named Steven F. Mayer as Transformation Board Sponsor while Suzanne Winter will retire and advise through end of November. These moves concentrate operational authority with executives described as having deep med‑tech transformation experience and create a direct governance sponsor for the stated execution plan.

Execution depends on disciplined implementation of the transformation initiatives the company says will occur mostly within the current fiscal year, and on the Board/management alignment overseen by the new sponsor. Watch the company’s detailed transformation milestones, quarterly progress updates, and any material adjustments to the plan over the next 12 months to assess whether governance changes translate into measurable operational improvement.

Preliminary Q1 fiscal 2026 figures show mixed top-line results and a small adjusted EBITDA loss.

Preliminary revenues for fiscal Q1 are reported at $92.5 to $94 million, with service revenues above plan and product revenues below expectations in EIMEA and China. The company reports preliminary adjusted EBITDA of approximately ($4) million, attributing margin pressure to geographic sales mix and joint venture accounting.

Key near-term monitors include the finalized Q1 results expected with the release of summary information on November 5, any material adjustments to the preliminary unaudited figures, and progress against the stated goal of reaching a high single‑digit adjusted EBITDA margin run‑rate within 12 months. These items will determine whether the transformation and leadership changes affect profitability as signaled.

Industry Veteran Steve La Neve Named Chief Executive Officer 
Suzanne Winter to Retire as President and CEO
Company Appoints Steven F. Mayer as Transformation Board Sponsor
Chan W. Galbato Nominated to Board of Directors

MADISON, Wis., Oct. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY) today announced it is engaging in a significant organizational, strategic, and operational transformation. To accelerate this work, the company's Board of Directors has appointed proven industry leaders with deep operational expertise to drive execution, strengthen performance, and enhance competitiveness. The transformation plan initiatives, most of which will be implemented during the current fiscal year, are designed to increase operating margins, enhance organizational responsiveness and agility, and position Accuray for sustainable, profitable growth.

As part of these actions, the Board has appointed Steve La Neve as Chief Executive Officer, effective today, October 20, 2025. He succeeds Suzanne Winter, who will retire after six years of service and remain in an advisory role through the end of November to ensure a seamless transition.

"With Accuray's transformation plan well underway, these leadership appointments are proactive steps to add momentum and position the company for long-term success," said Joe Whitters, Chairman of the Board. "Steve's proven record of operational excellence and value creation at leading med-tech companies makes him exceptionally well suited to guide Accuray through its next phase of growth. The Board is committed to disciplined execution directed at expanding margins, enhancing competitiveness, and building a more agile, customer-focused organization while continuing the innovation that defines Accuray. We thank Suzanne for her leadership and lasting contributions in advancing our technology and strengthening our global presence."

Mr. La Neve brings more than 40 years of international medical-technology experience with a track record of driving margin expansion and revenue growth. He previously served as President of the Trauma and Joint Reconstruction business unit of Globus Medical Inc. and President of Globus Medical Japan K.K., Chief Executive Officer and Board Member of Bone Biologics Corporation, Global President of Becton Dickinson Preanalytical Systems, and as Global Sector President for Medtronic's Spine and Biologics Division.

"Accuray's mission to deliver the curative power of radiation therapy to patients around the world is both inspiring and urgent," said Mr. La Neve. "Accuray is one of just a few companies operating at the intersection of technical sophistication and human impact. The company has a robust installed base and is rapidly increasing its presence across several of the fastest growing markets globally. And our solutions continue to resonate, with order backlog continuing to be strong. I'm excited to work with the talented team at Accuray to build on this promise and foster a performance-driven culture that pairs innovation with execution, strengthens operational discipline, and drives sustainable, profitable growth. We will execute our transformation plan with clarity, confidence, and purpose to enhance our competitiveness and create long-term value for the patients, providers, and shareholders we serve."

Board and Governance Updates
To support the execution of the company's transformation and growth strategy, the Board announced two additional leadership changes.

Steven F. Mayer, who joined the Board in June 2025, has been appointed Transformation Board Sponsor and will partner closely with incoming CEO Steve La Neve and the management team to oversee execution of the company's organizational, strategic and operational initiatives. Mr. Mayer brings extensive experience leading complex corporate transformations, having served nearly two decades at Cerberus Capital Management as Senior Managing Director, Co-Head of Global Private Equity, and Chairman of the Investment Committee. Most recently, after retiring from Cerberus, he served as Executive Chairman of global healthcare company Grifols, S.A., where he designed and led a company-wide transformation that realigned the organization and delivered more than €400 million in annual cost savings while sustaining strong revenue growth.

"I'm excited to partner with Steve La Neve and the Board to accelerate Accuray's transformation," added Mr. Mayer. "We are developing a clear plan that we've been investing behind, with strong leadership and a focused team ready to execute. We are acting decisively to align with strategic objectives, strengthen operations and deliver meaningful performance gains. We expect to reach a high single-digit adjusted EBITDA margin run-rate within twelve months and to expand that margin to double digits over the medium to long term. With its powerful combination of technology, talent, and purpose, Accuray is well positioned to compete more effectively and deliver sustained, profitable results."

In addition, Chan W. Galbato has been nominated to the Accuray Board of Directors. Mr. Galbato brings more than 30 years of operational and strategic leadership experience across global enterprises. He currently serves as Senior Advisor to Barington Capital Group and Alvarez & Marsal Holdings and has held senior executive roles including Co-Chair of Albertsons Companies, CEO of Cerberus Operations and Advisory Company, and leadership positions at Invensys, The Home Depot, and GE. A seasoned board member, he has served on numerous public and private company boards, including as chair of several publicly traded organizations.

FTI Consulting continues to advise the company on its operational execution and transformation strategy. TCW, the company's strategic lending partner, expressed strong support for the transformation plan and the accompanying leadership changes. 

Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Financial Results
Accuray expects to release summary financial information for its fiscal 2026 first quarter on November 5. In connection with today's announcement, the company is providing select preliminary information concerning its first quarter financial results. In its fiscal 2026 first quarter, service revenues were ahead of plan but product revenues were below expectations in EIMEA and China, resulting in total revenues of $92.5 to $94 million. Fiscal 2026 first quarter adjusted EBITDA was approximately ($4) million as geographic sales mix and joint venture accounting adversely impacted product gross margins.

The foregoing preliminary unaudited financial information for the fiscal 2026 first quarter is derived from preliminary internal financial reports. The company has not yet finalized its complete results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The company may identify items that would require it to make adjustments, some of which could be material, to the preliminary unaudited financial information set forth in this press release.
