Financial Results and Operating Metrics

Unaudited; $ in millions, except for per share amounts

(A) In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed, excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we provide certain financial information on a “constant currency” basis, which is in addition to the actual financial information presented. In order to calculate our constant currency information, we translate the current period financial information using the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the previous comparable period. However, constant currency measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to U.S. dollar measures that reflect current period exchange rates, or to other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(B) See the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures in the table at the end of the press release.

Discussion of First Quarter Results
All comparisons are to the prior year period unless otherwise noted

• Revenue grew by 11 percent on a constant currency basis, driven by increased demand for our sleep devices and masks portfolio, as well as strong growth across our Residential Care Software business.
  • Revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding Residential Care Software, grew by 11 percent.
  • Revenue in Europe, Asia, and other markets, excluding Residential Care Software, grew by 10 percent on a constant currency basis.
  • Residential Care Software revenue increased by 12 percent on a constant currency basis, reflecting continued organic growth in our Residential Care Software portfolio.
• Gross margin increased by 420 basis points mainly due to manufacturing efficiencies and component cost improvements and an increase in average selling prices. Non-GAAP gross margin increased by 320 basis points due to the same factors.
• Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 7 percent on a constant currency basis. The increase in SG&A expenses was mainly due to increases in employee-related expenses. SG&A expenses improved to 19.5 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 20.2 percent in the same period of the prior year.
• Income from operations increased by 34 percent, and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 27 percent.
• Net income for the quarter was $311 million and diluted earnings per share was $2.11. Non-GAAP net income increased by 35 percent to $325 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased by 34 percent to $2.20, predominantly attributable to strong sales growth and gross margin improvement.
• Operating cash flow for the quarter was $326 million, compared to net income in the current quarter of $311 million and non-GAAP net income of $325 million.

The measures “non-GAAP gross profit” and “non-GAAP gross margin” exclude amortization expense from acquired intangibles and restructuring expense related to cost of sales and are reconciled below:

The measure “non-GAAP income from operations” is reconciled with GAAP income from operations below:

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited; $ in thousands, except for per share amounts)

The measures “non-GAAP net income” and “non-GAAP diluted earnings per share” are reconciled with GAAP net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share in the table below:

(A) ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, field safety notification expenses, acquisition related expenses and associated tax effects from their evaluation of ongoing operations, and believes that investors benefit from adjusting these items to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of current operating performance.

ResMed believes that non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is an additional measure of performance that investors can use to compare operating results between reporting periods. ResMed uses non-GAAP information internally in planning, forecasting, and evaluating the results of operations in the current period and in comparing it to past periods. ResMed believes this information provides investors better insight when evaluating ResMed’s performance from core operations and provides consistent financial reporting. The use of non-GAAP measures is intended to supplement, and not to replace, the presentation of net income and other GAAP measures. Like all non-GAAP measures, non-GAAP earnings are subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP.
