GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.71; non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.77

Operating cash flow of $140.3 million in the fourth quarter

Quarterly dividend increased by 6% to $0.35 per share

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD) today announced results for its quarter ended June 30, 2017. Revenue for the quarter was $556.7 million, a 7 percent increase compared to the same period of the prior year. Excluding the contribution from the Brightree business acquired in April 2016, revenue for the quarter was $520.5 million, a 6 percent increase.   

"We finished the year with solid constant currency revenue growth, fuelled by sales of our devices, masks, and software-as-a-service revenue from Brightree," said Mick Farrell, ResMed's chief executive officer.

"During the quarter, we made two acquisitions to augment our Brightree solutions, we presented and published results from clinical studies in sleep and COPD, and we launched two new products: AirTouch - the softest CPAP mask from ResMed; and AirMini - the world's smallest CPAP."

Farrell concluded, "Our board of directors has declared a 6 percent increase in our dividend this quarter, reflecting confidence in our long-term outlook and 2020 strategy. We are positioned for another great year ahead, as we deliver products and solutions that improve patient outcomes, create efficiencies for our customers, lower overall healthcare system costs and deliver cash to our shareholders."

Analysis of fourth quarter results

Fourth quarter revenue in the Americas was $350.2 million, an 8 percent increase over the same period of the prior year. This included Brightree revenue of $36.2 million. Excluding Brightree, revenue in the Americas was $314.0 million, a 6 percent increase over the prior year. Revenue in combined EMEA and APAC was $206.5 million, an increase of 9 percent on a constant currency basis, compared to the same period of the prior year.

Gross margin in the fourth quarter was 58.2 percent, higher than the prior year's quarter gross margin of 58.1 percent. The improvement in gross margin compared to prior year's quarter was due to manufacturing and procurement efficiencies partially offset by declines in average selling prices and changes in product mix.

Income from operations for the quarter was $127.4 million, a 7 percent increase compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Non-GAAP income from operations for the quarter was $139.1 million, a 3 percent increase compared to the same period of the prior year. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $147.9 million, a 10 percent increase over the same period in the prior year, also an 11 percent increase on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses increased to 26.6 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 25.8 percent reported in the quarter ended June 30, 2016.  

Research and development expenses were $36.7 million, or 6.6 percent of revenue. R&D expenses increased by 7 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, a decrease of $0.9 million compared with the same period last year. Stock-based compensation costs incurred during the quarter of $11.7 million consisted of expenses associated with employee equity grants, and our employee stock purchase plan. 

Net income for the quarter was $101.6 million, a 22 percent increase compared to the same period of the prior year. Non-GAAP net income was $109.6 million, a 5 percent increase compared to the prior year.

Non-GAAP measures adjust for amortization of acquired intangibles, the one-time deferred revenue fair value adjustment, the SERVE-HF accrual release and acquisition related expenses.

GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter increased 20 percent to $0.71.  Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.77 were 4 percent higher compared with the same period of the prior year. 

Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $140.3 million compared to net income in the current quarter of $101.6 million.

Analysis of fiscal year 2017 results

Revenue for the year increased 12 percent over the prior year to $2.1 billion, or a 13 percent increase on a constant currency basis.

Income from operations for the year was $425.8 million, a 1 percent decrease over the prior year. Non-GAAP income from operations for the year was $508.4 million, a 9 percent increase compared to the prior year.

Non-GAAP measures adjust for amortization of acquired intangibles, the Astral battery field safety notification expenses, restructuring expenses, litigation settlement expenses, acquisition related expenses, the one-time deferred revenue fair value adjustment and the SERVE-HF accrual release.

Net income for the year was $342.3 million, a 3 percent decrease over the prior year. Non-GAAP net income was $401.3 million, a 6 percent increase compared to the prior year.

GAAP diluted earnings per share decreased 4 percent to $2.40. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the year was $2.82, a 5 percent increase compared with the prior year.

(2)

As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 we now recognize an income tax impact relating to share-based payment transactions. The income taxes for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2016 have been restated to reflect the adoption of the standard as the benefit was previously recorded as a reduction to Additional Capital.

(A)

ResMed adjusts for the impact of the Astral battery field safety notification expenses, release of SERVE-HF accrual, restructuring expenses, litigation settlement expenses, one-time deferred revenue fair value adjustment acquisition related expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets 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.
