“Our fourth quarter and full-year fiscal year 2022 results demonstrate strong growth and ResMed’s market leadership,” said Mick Farrell, ResMed’s CEO. “During the quarter, we saw continued adoption of our most advanced platform innovation to date, the 100% cloud-connectable AirSense 11. We launched this solution into several new countries in Europe while continuing to see strong sales in the U.S. We also introduced our newest device to meet the needs of an industry crisis in PAP supply, the AirSense 10 Card-to-Cloud solution, during the quarter. The card-to-cloud device was launched into the U.S. and many other markets and is designed to work without an embedded communications module. This redesign allowed us to increase deliveries to customers and ultimately to get many more patients onto life-saving sleep apnea and respiratory care therapy. Both of these platforms, as well as our legacy, market-leading, 100% cloud-connected AirSense 10 device, will support solid growth throughout FY23.

“I am incredibly proud of the global ResMed team that was able to deliver strong constant currency revenue growth of 8% in the June quarter. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, we annualized $20 million in COVID-related ventilator sales and incremental revenue in the range of $60 to $70 million related to a competitor’s recall during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021. For full fiscal year 2022, we achieved $3.6 billion in revenue, with 13% constant currency revenue growth year-over-year, and operating profit growth of 8%, all on a non-GAAP basis.

“Our global team remains focused on supporting patients, providers, and physicians -- our top priority is to get products directly into the hands of patients who need therapy most. Looking ahead, we are confident in our ability to grow steadily throughout fiscal year 2023 and to continue delivering for all stakeholders. We are investing in R&D to drive accelerated adoption of digital health solutions in sleep apnea, COPD, and outside-hospital care, as we progress towards our goal to improve 250 million lives in 2025.”

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 Fourth Quarter Results

All comparisons are to the prior year period unless otherwise noted

• Revenue grew by 8 percent on a constant currency basis, driven by increased demand for our sleep and respiratory care devices and reduced competitive supply.
  • Revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding Software-as-a-Service, grew by 12 percent, primarily due to the factors discussed above and recovery of core sleep patient flow that was previously impacted by COVID-19.
  • Revenue in Europe, Asia, and other markets grew by 1 percent on a constant currency basis. Excluding the impact of COVID-related sales in the prior year quarter, revenue grew by 8% on a constant currency basis, primarily due to the factors discussed above.
  • Software-as-a-Service revenue increased by 8 percent, due to continued growth in our Durable Medical Equipment category and stabilizing patient flow in out-of-hospital care settings.
• Gross margin increased by 110 basis points and non-GAAP gross margin increased by 50 basis points, mainly due to an increase in average selling prices and favorable product mix changes, partially offset by higher freight and manufacturing costs, and unfavorable geographic mix changes.
• Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 12 percent on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses increased to 21.3 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 20.7 percent in the same period of the prior year. These changes in SG&A expenses were mainly due to increases in employee-related expenses, increases in professional service fees, including acquisition-related expenses, and increases in travel expenses.
• Income from operations increased by 6 percent and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 4 percent.
• Net income for the quarter was $195.1 million and diluted earnings per share was $1.33. Non-GAAP net income increased by 10 percent to $219.2 million and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased by 10 percent to $1.49, predominantly attributable to strong sales, partially offset by higher operating expenses.
• Operating cash flow for the quarter was $79.5 million, reflecting the impact of increases in working capital. During the quarter we paid $61.5 million in dividends.

Other Business and Operational Highlights

• Announced a definitive agreement to acquire privately held MEDIFOX DAN, a German leader in out-of-hospital software solutions for providers in major settings across the care continuum, from Hg, a leading software and services investor. Under the agreement terms, ResMed will acquire MEDIFOX DAN for approximately US$1.0 billion (€950 million), which ResMed expects to fund with its existing credit facilities. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of ResMed’s fiscal year 2023 (December 31, 2022), subject to regulatory clearances.
• Announced the promotion of Lucile Blaise to President of Sleep & Respiratory Care, effective July 1, 2022. Ms. Blaise was previously ResMed’s Vice President of Sleep & Respiratory Care for Western Europe. Over her 16 years at ResMed and over 25 years in the medtech industry, Blaise has been a key player in improving chronic disease treatment for millions of people as well as supporting physicians, providers, and healthcare systems across Europe and beyond through evidence-based decision-making.
• Supported or presented 23 clinical study abstracts at the annual American Thoracic Society (18) and SLEEP (5) conferences, demonstrating the breadth and depth of ResMed’s real-world evidence to support the industry’s knowledge of chronic disease patient management, links between diseases, and prevalence, among others.

Dividend program
The ResMed board of directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.44 per share. The dividend will have a record date of August 18, 2022, payable on September 22, 2022. 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 August 17, 2022, 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 August 17, 2022, through August 18, 2022, inclusive.

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

The measures “non-GAAP gross profit” and “non-GAAP gross margin” exclude amortization expense from acquired intangibles 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, acquisition-related expenses, reserve for disputed tax positions, restructuring 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.

Revenue by Product and Region
