SAN DIEGO, July 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD) today announced results for its quarter ended June 30, 2015.  Revenue for the quarter was $453.1 million, a 9 percent increase compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2014 (a 17 percent increase on a constant currency basis).  Net income was $87.5 million, consistent with the quarter ended June 30, 2014.  Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.61, consistent with the quarter ended June 30, 2014. 

The results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 were impacted by two non-recurring items: first, expenses of $5.0 million ($3.5 million, net of tax) associated with the field safety notice in response to results of the SERVE-HF clinical trial and second, donations of $6.0 million ($3.8 million, net of tax), which were comprised of a $5.0 million donation to the University of California - San Diego to fund a center of excellence and endowed chair in the field of pulmonary and critical care medicine and an incremental donation of $1.0 million to the ResMed Foundation.  Non-GAAP net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $96.4 million, a 3 percent increase compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2014 (non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of expenses associated with the SERVE-HF field safety notice, donations and amortization of acquired intangibles in the current quarter and the restructuring expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles in the prior year quarter).  Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.68, a 3 percent increase compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2014. 

"We finished the year with strong double-digit constant currency revenue growth and greater than 50 percent flow generator growth in the Americas during the fourth quarter. As expected, we have also achieved a solid return to growth in our mask business. We have continued our active share repurchase program and the board has also declared an increase in our dividend," said Mick Farrell, ResMed's chief executive officer. "This quarter we grew our healthcare informatics capability with the acquisition of CareTouch and earlier today, we announced the acquisition of Curative Medical, an investment in China that will provide a complementary brand with a robust respiratory care and sleep apnea product portfolio. We will continue to invest in R&D and manufacturing for the Curative brand in China as we grow our new ResMed-Curative business."  Farrell concluded, "Our global team ended fiscal year 2015 with a strong $1.7 billion in revenues as we continue to drive towards our goal of changing 20 million lives by 2020 with innovative products and solutions that improve patient outcomes, reduce the impact of chronic disease and lower healthcare costs."

Analysis of fourth quarter results
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, revenue in the Americas was $273.7 million, a 27 percent increase over the prior year's quarter.  Revenue in combined Europe and Asia Pacific was $179.4 million, a 10 percent decrease compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2014 (a 5 percent increase on a constant currency basis).

Including one-off expenses of $5.0 million in relation to the SERVE-HF field safety notice, gross margin in the fourth quarter was 57.3 percent.  Excluding these one-off expenses, the gross margin for Q4 FY15 was 58.4%, lower than the prior year's quarter, mainly due to an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rate movements, an unfavorable geographic mix, declines in average selling prices and an unfavorable product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $123.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, a 1 percent increase (a 12 percent increase on a constant currency basis) over the quarter ended June 30, 2014. SG&A expenses improved to 27.2 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 29.4 percent in the quarter ended June 30, 2014.  

Research and development expenses were $28.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, or 6.3 percent of revenue.  R&D expenses decreased by 10 percent (a 5 percent increase on a constant currency basis) compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $2.1 million during the quarter.  Stock-based compensation costs incurred during the quarter of $13.1 million consisted of expenses associated with employee equity grants, and the company's employee stock purchase plan. 

Operating profit for the quarter was $99.5 million and cash flow from operations was $99.6 million.

Fiscal year 2015 results
Revenue for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $1.7 billion, an 8 percent increase compared with the year ended June 30, 2014 (a 13 percent increase on a constant currency basis).  Net income was $352.9 million, a 2% increase compared with the year ended June 30, 2014.  Diluted earnings per share for the year were $2.47, a 3% increase compared with the year ended June 30, 2014. Non-GAAP earnings per share for the year were $2.57, a 4% increase compared with the year ended June 30, 2014.

Share repurchase program
During the quarter, the company repurchased 941,000 shares at a cost of $55.9 million, as part of its ongoing capital management program. 

Dividend program
The ResMed board of directors today declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share, an increase of 7 percent from the previous dividend. The dividend will have a record date of August 20, 2015, payable on September 17, 2015. 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 August 18, 2015 for common stock holders 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 18, 2015 through August 20, 2015, inclusive.

(A) 

ResMed excludes SERVE-HF field safety notice expenses, donations, restructuring expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets from their evaluation of ongoing operations and believes investors benefit from excluding these charges to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of current operating performance.




ResMed believes that diluted earnings per share, which exclude the impact of SERVE-HF field safety notice expenses, donations, restructuring expenses and the amortization of acquired intangible assets, 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.
