Earnings releases have often led to downside moves, especially when results or outlook weakened, with one notable selloff even after strong results.
Over the past year, Accuray’s earnings reports have shown a shift from growth to deterioration. FY2025 results featured revenue growth and raised guidance, yet shares fell after several reports. In Q1 2026 and Q2 2026, revenue declines, margin compression, and larger net losses drove sharp drops of -15.86% and -20.68%. Today’s Q3 2026 update continues the FY2026 trend of weaker product demand, lower margins, and restructuring actions following the FY2025 transformation narrative.

of cost and margin improvements achieved through the fiscal third quarter, positioning the company to exceed the$10 million FY26 target.$12 million - Commercial leadership strengthened with the appointment of Paul Miele as Chief Commercial Officer, bringing deep global experience in scaling capital medical device businesses and accelerating profitable growth.
- Strategic partnerships gaining momentum, expanding Accuray's ecosystem across imaging, software, workflow, clinical research, and operational execution in collaboration with many leading organizations to further amplify the company's strengths.

Middle East , which continues to materially impact product shipments and service revenue, with installations in several of the markets within the region delayed. - At the upcoming European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology ("ESTRO") Congress in
Stockholm, Sweden on May 15 – 19, 2026, the Company will showcase a series of practical, customer‑driven product enhancements that reinforce their commitment to clinical excellence, workflow efficiency, and continuous innovation.
"During the quarter, we made meaningful progress executing against the transformation plan we launched in December," said Steve LaNeve, President and Chief Executive Officer of Accuray. "We are already seeing tangible benefits from these initiatives, including approximately
Mr. LaNeve continued, "Overall, we are encouraged by the progress we are making and remain confident in our strategy and our ability to execute on the areas within our control. However, the current geopolitical environment has created significant unpredictability around the timing of installations in several key Middle Eastern markets. Given these uncertainties, we believe it is prudent to withdraw financial guidance at this time, specifically as it relates to total net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, and revisit our outlook when we report fiscal fourth quarter results."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Accuray reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
Accuray has supplemented its GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and (gain) loss from change in fair value of warrant liability ("adjusted EBITDA"). The calculation of adjusted EBITDA also excludes certain non-recurring, irregular and one-time items. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of the company and facilitates a meaningful comparison of results for current periods with previous operating results. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is provided in the schedules below.
There are limitations in using these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
