Contradictions in Accuray's Q4 2025 Call: Navigating Tariffs, Market Demand, and Recovery Prospects

Geopolitical Impact on Revenue:
- Accuray Inc. reported total revenue of $128 million for Q4, down 5% year-over-year, mainly due to lower product revenue in China and EIMEA regions.
- The decline was attributed to geopolitical factors like increased tariffs and regional trade disruptions.

Service Revenue Growth:
- Accuray's service revenue reached $56.9 million, up 4% versus the prior year, driven by increased service contract capture rates and additional value-added service offerings.
- Growth was also supported by expansion of the installed base and regional demand in China.

APAC and EIMEA Order Trends:
- Orders in APAC showed 50% growth, while Japan experienced 34% year-over-year order growth, partly offset by slower demand in the U.S.
- Growth was driven by strong demand for new products like Helix and Tomo C in emerging markets.

Debt Refinancing and Strategic Partnership:
- Accuray successfully refinanced its debt through a transaction involving the issuance of shares and a new credit agreement with TCW, enhancing financial flexibility.
- The transaction is expected to support innovation, margin improvement, and long-term value creation.
