We have rapidly pivoted our business to respond by ramping up production of life support ventilators, non-invasive ventilators, and ventilation mask systems for the people who need them most, wherever they live.

“We continue to execute our long-term strategy, supporting customers around the world with digital health technologies and out-of-hospital management software, enabling them to continue to provide better care for those suffering from sleep apnea, COPD, asthma, and for people in out-of-hospital care settings. As we progress through the global COVID-19 pandemic, we are delivering world-leading solutions to governments, health authorities, hospitals, physicians, providers, and, most importantly, to patients.

(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 Third 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 12 percent driven by strong sales across our mask and device product portfolios, including increased demand for our ventilators due to COVID-19.
Revenue in combined Europe, Asia, and other markets grew by 27 percent on a constant currency basis primarily driven by sales across our mask and device product portfolios, including increased demand for our ventilators due to COVID-19.
Software as a Service revenue increased by 12 percent, due to continued growth in Brightree and MatrixCare service offerings.
Gross Margin expanded by 90 basis points. Non-GAAP gross margin expanded by 70 basis points primarily due to benefits from product mix changes, and manufacturing and procurement efficiencies, partially offset by declines in average selling prices.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 5 percent or by 7 percent on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses improved to 22.4 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 24.8 percent in the same period of the prior year.
Income from operations increased by 39 percent and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 31 percent.
Net income grew by 55 percent and diluted earnings per share grew by 53 percent. Non-GAAP net income grew by 47 percent and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share grew by 45 percent predominantly attributable to strong sales, particularly in masks, coupled with controlled operating costs.
Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $239.7 million, compared to net income in the current quarter of $163.1 million. During the quarter we paid $56.4 million in dividends.

Other Business and Operational Highlights

Introduced AirFit F30i, its first tube-up full face CPAP mask, rounding out the most complete full face mask portfolio on the market. AirFit F30i’s tube-up design makes it easier for users to sleep in any position, under-nose cushioning prevents soreness and irritation on the nasal bridge, and a quick-release elbow allows users to quickly disconnect and reattach the mask from its tubing.
In partnership with ATS Foundation, awarded the third $100,000 research grant to study how remote monitoring can help improve the management of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study aims to detect early changes in lung function from daily recordings and notify patients when to commence more intensive treatment or seek medical attention.
Launched a COVID-19 resource page with links to the latest information from global and regional health organizations as well as frequently asked questions about the use of ResMed’s devices in relation to COVID-19 and information for healthcare professionals.

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 May 14, 2020, payable on June 18, 2020. The dividend will be paid in U.S. currency to holders of ResMed’s common stock trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share ^(A)	$	1.29	$	0.89	$	3.43		$	2.69

(A)	ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, deferred revenue fair value adjustment, litigation settlement expenses, acquisition-related expenses, fair value impairment of investment and the impact of U.S. tax reform on income tax expense 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.

(A)	Totals and subtotals may not add due to rounding.

(B)	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.
