(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 First Quarter Results

  • Revenue in U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding Software as a Service, grew by 10 percent compared to the prior year period, driven by strong sales across our mask and device product portfolios. Revenue in combined Europe, Asia and other markets grew by 16 percent on a constant currency basis compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily driven by strong device sales. Software as a Service revenue increased 25 percent, compared to the prior year period due to continued growth in our Brightree service offerings and incremental contribution from the acquisition of HEALTHCAREfirst, which closed early in the first quarter.
  • Gross margin was slightly lower than the prior year quarter mainly due to declines in average selling prices, which were partially offset by manufacturing and procurement efficiencies.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 2 percent compared to the prior year period, or by 4 percent on a constant currency basis, due to continued improvements in operating leverage. SG&A expenses improved to 25.0 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 27.5 percent in the same period of the prior year.
  • Income from operations increased by 28 percent and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 26 percent compared to the prior year period.
  • Net income increased by 23 percent and non-GAAP net income increased by 23 percent compared to the prior year period. Non-GAAP measures adjust for amortization of acquired intangibles and impact of U.S. tax reform on income tax expense.
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share increased by 22 percent and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were 23 percent higher compared with the same period of the prior year.
  • Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $48.1 million, compared to net income in the current quarter of $105.7 million. Cash flow from operations included tax payments of $125.0 million compared with $30.2 million in the same period of the prior year. During the quarter we paid $52.8 million in dividends.

Other Business and Operational Highlights

  • Completed the acquisition of HEALTHCAREfirst, a provider of software solutions and services for home health and hospice agencies, for consideration of $126.3 million.
  • Announced a joint venture with Verily, combining ResMed’s expertise in sleep apnea and Verily’s advanced health data analytics technologies, to study the health and financial impacts of undiagnosed and untreated sleep apnea, and to develop software solutions that enable healthcare providers to more efficiently identify, diagnose, treat and manage individuals with sleep apnea and other breathing-related sleep disorders.
  • Introduced key upgrades to the Astral life support ventilator, including AutoEPAP functionality along with customizable program names and easily changeable interfaces.
  • Introduced AirFit F30, ResMed’s first minimal-contact full face CPAP mask, expanding the mask product portfolio to meet the needs of a select group of PAP users who need a full face mask but are looking for the flexibility to wear glasses in bed or to reduce facial contact with a full face mask.

Share repurchase program

During the quarter, we repurchased 200,000 shares at a cost of $22.8 million, as part of our ongoing capital management program.

Dividend program

The ResMed board of directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.37 per share. The dividend will have a record date of November 8, 2018, payable on December 13, 2018. 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 Instruments 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 November 7, 2018 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 November 7, 2018 through November 8, 2018, inclusive.

GAAP diluted earnings per share $ 0.73 $ 0.60
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (A) $ 0.81 $ 0.66
(A)   ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles and 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 in 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.
