(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.

Discussion of Second Quarter Results

All comparisons are to the prior year period unless otherwise noted

Revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding Software as a Service, grew by 5 percent, driven by strong sales across our mask product portfolio.
Revenue in Europe, Asia, and other markets grew by 10 percent on a constant currency basis, primarily driven by sales across our device and mask product portfolio.
Software as a Service revenue increased by 6 percent, due to continued growth in resupply service offerings and stabilizing patient flow in out-of-hospital care settings.
Gross margin contracted by 20 basis points mainly due to restructuring expenses associated with the cessation of our portable oxygen concentrator business. Non-GAAP gross margin expanded by 20 basis points, mainly due to benefits from manufacturing efficiencies, product mix changes, and foreign exchange rates, partially offset by declines in average selling prices.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by 3 percent on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses improved to 21.2 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 23.3 percent in the same period of the prior year. These changes in SG&A expenses were mainly due to savings in travel and other cost management as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Income from operations increased by 12 percent and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 16 percent.
Net income grew by 12 percent and diluted earnings per share grew by 12 percent. Non-GAAP net income grew by 17 percent and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share grew by 17 percent, predominantly attributable to strong sales and controlled operating costs.
Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $169.9 million, compared to net income in the current quarter of $179.5 million. During the quarter we paid $56.7 million in dividends.

Dividend program

The ResMed board of directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.39 per share. The dividend will have a record date of February 11, 2021, payable on March 18, 2021. The dividend will be paid in U.S. currency to holders of ResMed’s common stock trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Holders of CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) trading on the Australian Securities Exchange will receive an equivalent amount in Australian currency, based on the exchange rate on the record date, and reflecting the 10:1 ratio between CDIs and NYSE shares. The ex-dividend date will be February 10, 2021, for common stockholders and for CDI holders. ResMed has received a waiver from the ASX’s settlement operating rules, which will allow ResMed to defer processing conversions between its common stock and CDI registers from February 10, 2021, through February 11, 2021, inclusive.

(A)

ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring expenses, deferred revenue fair value adjustment, litigation settlement expenses, and the (gain) loss on equity investments 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.

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.
