SAN DIEGO, July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD) today announced results for its quarter ended June 30, 2016. Revenue for the quarter was $518.6 million, a 14 percent increase compared to the same period of the prior year, or a 15 percent increase on a constant currency basis. Excluding the contribution from the Brightree acquisition, revenue for the quarter was $489.7 million, an 8 percent increase.
"We finished the year with double-digit constant currency revenue growth, fueled by solid performance in masks, devices, and our first quarter of software-as-a-service revenue from Brightree. Our board of directors has declared a 10 percent increase in our dividend this quarter, reflecting confidence in our long-term strategy and outlook," said Mick Farrell, ResMed's chief executive officer.
"We are the world's largest provider of remote connected care solutions with over 2 million patients using ResMed cloud-connected devices on bedside tables; we provide actionable information every day for patients, physicians, providers and payors. During the year, we continued to demonstrate the value of our solutions through clinical research, while transforming how healthcare is delivered through cloud-based offerings that are shaping a new frontier in connected care."
Farrell concluded, "Our global team ended fiscal year 2016 with $1.8 billion in revenue as we continue to drive towards our goal of changing 20 million lives by 2020. ResMed is on a trajectory to be the world's leading tech-driven medical device company; we deliver innovative cloud-connected products and solutions that improve patient outcomes, create efficiencies for our customers, help physicians and providers better manage chronic disease, and lower overall healthcare system costs."
Analysis of fourth quarter results
Fourth quarter revenue in the Americas was $324.5 million, a 19 percent increase over the same period of the prior year. This included Brightree revenue of $28.9 million. Excluding Brightree, revenue in the Americas was $295.6 million, an 8 percent increase over the prior year. Revenue in combined EMEA and APAC was $194.1 million, an increase of 8 percent on a constant currency basis compared to the same period of the prior year.
Gross margin in the fourth quarter was 58.1 percent. Non-GAAP gross margin in the fourth quarter was 58.2 percent. This excludes a one-time purchase accounting adjustment of $2.3 million associated with Brightree's deferred revenue, partially offset by a benefit relating to the release of $0.4 million in accrued expenses associated with the SERVE-HF field safety notice. Gross margin for the quarter was lower compared with the same period last year, mainly due to declines in average selling prices and changes in product mix largely offset by manufacturing and procurement efficiencies and an incremental contribution from the Brightree acquisition.
Income from operations for the quarter was $118.6 million, a 19 percent increase compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Non-GAAP income from operations for the quarter was $135.1 million, a 20 percent increase compared to the same period of the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $133.9 million, a 9 percent increase over the same period in the prior year, or a 10 percent increase on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses improved to 25.8 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 27.2 percent reported in the quarter ending June 30, 2015.
Research and development expenses were $34.4 million, or 6.6 percent of revenue. R&D expenses increased by 21 percent compared with the same period last year, or a 24 percent increase on a constant currency basis.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $12.6 million during the quarter, an increase of $10.5 million compared with the same period last year. The increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets was primarily due to the amortization expense associated with our recent acquisitions, in particular Brightree, Curative and Inova. Stock-based compensation costs incurred during the quarter of $11.6 million consisted of expenses associated with employee equity grants, and our employee stock purchase plan.
Net income for the quarter was $83.1 million, a 5 percent decrease compared to the same period of the prior year. Non-GAAP net income was $104.4 million, an 8 percent increase compared to the prior year. Non-GAAP measures adjust for amortization of acquired intangibles, the one-time deferred revenue fair value adjustment, acquisition and integration related expenses associated with our acquisitions of Inova and Brightree, the SERVE-HF accrual release and the cumulative income tax benefit associated with the adoption of ASU 2016-09. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter decreased 3 percent to $0.59. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 9 percent to $0.74.
Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $143.0 million compared to net income in the current quarter of $83.1 million.
Impact to income tax expense with the adoption of ASU 2016-09
During the quarter we adopted ASU 2016-09 "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting", and in accordance with this standard we recognized additional income tax benefits of $1.3 million and $11.2 million in the quarter and year ended June 30, 2016, respectively. This benefit would have previously been recorded as a reduction to Additional Capital. Under the new standard, we are required to report the impact as though the standard had been adopted on July 1, 2015, the beginning of our fiscal year. As such, the full year income tax impact includes the fourth quarter fiscal year 2016 tax benefit of $1.3 million and the reclassification of $9.9 million originally recognized in Additional Capital during the nine months ended March 31, 2016. For our fourth quarter non-GAAP tax expense we have reflected the full year tax benefit of $11.2 million. The income tax benefit associated with the adoption of ASU 2016-09 was predominantly offset by an additional tax expense recognized in our fourth quarter associated with an increase in our foreign cash repatriation to the United States.
