MADISON, Wis., July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY), a leading provider of radiation therapy systems for cancer treatment, today announced a plan incorporating several decisive actions that will drive a significant improvement in its financial position, a fundamental change in its business strategy, the rollout of differentiated technology, and continued transformation in how the company operates. This enables a renewed focus on its core strengths in innovation, sales, and service while continuing to emphasize operational rigor.
Improved Financial Position Accuray has entered into definitive agreements with TCW Asset Management Company LLC, Accuray's primary lender and largest shareholder, that are intended to strengthen the company's financial position, provide additional liquidity and enhance financial flexibility. The TCW agreements encompass six major components:
"The agreements with TCW provide us with increased financial flexibility and a stronger balance sheet, which will in turn allow us to focus on our customers, our suppliers, and other important stakeholders," said Steve La Neve, Accuray's CEO. "We appreciate TCW's confidence in our business plan and our strategy that we had articulated last December. Our entire team is determined to reward that confidence by creating significant shareholder value going forward." A more detailed description of the transaction with TCW is included in Accuray's Current Report on Form 8-K and will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors are encouraged to review the Form 8-K for additional information regarding the terms and conditions of the transaction and related agreements. Certain aspects of the above transactions remain subject to customary closing conditions, including stockholder approval of the proposed reverse stock split and certain equity issuances contemplated by the transaction. Strategic Partnerships to Improve Performance and Accelerate Innovation In order to enhance Accuray's capabilities across imaging, software, and treatment delivery, while enabling greater focus on its core strengths, Accuray intends to establish collaborations with several leading global technology organizations. These partnerships are designed to accelerate innovation, improve operational performance, and create greater value for customers, patients, and shareholders. For example, Accuray has recently entered into the following non-binding letters of intent ("LOIs"):
Both above-mentioned LOIs are nonbinding, and the scope, terms and benefits of any proposed collaboration remain subject to further negotiations and the execution of definitive agreements. In addition, under a previously agreed partnership, Accuray and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) continue to expand their collaboration to improve product development, service capabilities, and operational efficiency. Most recently, the companies finalized development of onboard remote diagnostics designed to enhance system performance, increase uptime, and enable more proactive service capabilities, benefiting customers, patients, and Accuray's service margins. Building on this foundation, Accuray is continuing to leverage TCS's engineering expertise to augment research and development activities, accelerate innovation, and support ongoing efforts to reduce costs while maintaining a strong focus on quality and customer outcomes. Together, these partnerships are intended to help accelerate the delivery of innovative solutions that improve clinical efficiency, expand treatment capabilities, and support better outcomes for patients around the world, while simultaneously allowing Accuray to focus its energy and resources on its core competencies and to drive improved operational execution across the organization. "We are excited to partner with these world class companies that will help us move faster, innovate more effectively, and deliver greater value to our customers," said Paul Miele, Chief Commercial Officer. "We are building an ecosystem that strengthens every part of our platform." Differentiated Internally Developed Technology Concurrently with the above steps, Accuray has continued to invest in and expand its core technology differentiators, including:
Accuray has been rolling out these innovations across its installed base of customers and intends to accelerate expansion in the coming months. Transformation Phase II – A Focused and Disciplined Path Forward After designing and implementing the first phase of its transformation plan, which was primarily focused on efficiency and cost-competitiveness, Accuray is now entering the second phase of its transformation, which consists of decisive steps to strengthen its competitive position, enhance customer value, and drive long-term growth in revenues and margins. The company's strategies are anchored in three distinct areas:
"We have improved our financial flexibility, increased operating discipline, and built a focused network of partnerships that accelerate innovation and execution," said Steve La Neve. "We are leaning into what differentiates Accuray—precision, motion management, and intelligent software—to deliver better outcomes and greater value." Positioned for the Next Phase of Growth Accuray believes that all of the coordinated actions described above position the company to deliver more consistent performance, better profitability, increased competitiveness, renewed growth, and long-term value creation. "We are executing with focus and discipline," said La Neve. "We are confident in our direction because it is grounded in the needs of our customers and their patients. By listening closely to their challenges and investing in the innovations that matter most, we are helping healthcare professionals deliver exceptional patient care and building long-term value for shareholders."
