ResMed Announces Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2018

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ResMed Inc. today announced results for its quarter ended September 30, 2017. Revenue for the quarter was $523.7 million, a 13 percent increase compared to the same period of the prior year.

“We started the fiscal year with strong 11 percent constant currency revenue growth led by our masks, software-as-a-service solutions, and devices,” said Mick Farrell, ResMed’s chief executive officer. “Our new masks have performed well around the world, device sales are solid, and operating profit returned to double-digit growth in the quarter.”

Farrell concluded, “We are achieving share gains with new product innovation and delivering sustainable operating profit growth. We continue to pioneer products, services and solutions that improve patient outcomes, create efficiencies for our homecare providers, and help physicians and payers better manage chronic disease and lower long-term healthcare costs.”

Analysis of first quarter results

First quarter revenue in the Americas, excluding Brightree, was $296.6 million, an 11 percent increase over the same period of the prior year. Brightree revenue for the first quarter was $38.1 million, an increase of 15 percent compared to the same period of the prior year. Revenue in combined EMEA and APAC was $189.0 million, an increase of 11 percent on a constant currency basis, compared to the same period of the prior year.

Gross margin in the first quarter was 58.4 percent, higher than the prior year’s quarter gross margin of 57.8 percent. The improvement in gross margin compared to prior year was due to manufacturing and procurement efficiencies and the prior year Astral field safety notification expenses, which were partially offset by declines in average selling prices.

Income from operations for the quarter was $112.6 million, a 20 percent increase compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Non-GAAP income from operations for the quarter was $124.3 million, a 12 percent increase compared to the same period of the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $143.9 million, a 12 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 27.5 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 27.7 percent reported in the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Research and development expenses were $37.4 million, or 7.1 percent of revenue. R&D expenses increased by 9 percent compared with the same period last year, or a 6 percent increase on a constant currency basis.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $11.8 million during the quarter, which is consistent with the same period last year. Stock-based compensation costs incurred during the quarter of $11.9 million consisted of expenses associated with employee equity grants, and our employee stock purchase plan.

Net income for the quarter was $86.1 million, a 13 percent increase compared to the same period of the prior year. Non-GAAP net income was $94.1 million, a 7 percent increase compared to the prior year.

Non-GAAP measures adjust for amortization of acquired intangibles and the Astral battery field safety notification expenses.

GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter increased by 11 percent to $0.60. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.66 were 6 percent higher compared with the same period of the prior year.

Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $94.0 million compared to net income in the current quarter of $86.1 million. During the quarter we paid $49.7 million in dividends and repaid $60.0 million of our outstanding debt.

 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited) (In US$ thousands, except share and per share data) The measure, “non-GAAP income from operations” is reconciled with GAAP income from operations below: Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 ---- ---- GAAP income from operations $112,558 $94,146 Astral battery field safety notification expenses (A) - 5,070 Amortization of acquired intangible assets (A) 11,783 11,741 ------------------------ ------ ------ Non-GAAP income from operations $124,341 $110,957 ---------------- -------- -------- 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: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 ---- ---- GAAP net income $86,125 $76,107 Astral battery field safety notification expenses (A) - 3,549 Amortization of acquired intangible assets, net of tax (A) 8,013 8,006 -------------------------- ----- ----- Non-GAAP net income (A) $94,138 $87,662 ------------ ------- ------- Diluted shares outstanding 143,480 142,090 -------------------------- ------- ------- GAAP diluted earnings per share $0.60 $0.54 ------------- ----- ----- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (A) $0.66 $0.62 ---------------- ----- ----- 

 (A) ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangible assets and Astral battery field safety notification expenses from their evaluation of ongoing operations and believes 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 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 in evaluating ResMed’s performance from core operations and provides consistent financial reporting. Our use of non-GAAP measures is intended to supplement, and not to replace, our 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.
