SG&A expenses were $92.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $8.4 million, or 10% (an 8% increase on a constant currency basis) compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  SG&A costs were 29.5% of revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to 30.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.    

R&D expenses were $23.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, or 7.4% of revenue.  R&D expenses increased by 28% (an 18% increase on a constant currency basis) compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  R&D expenses were negatively impacted by the appreciation of the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.

The company amortized acquired intangibles of $2.7 million ($1.8 million, net of tax) during the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  Stock-based compensation costs incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 of $6.8 million ($4.8 million, net of tax) consisted of expenses associated with stock options, restricted stock units, and our employee stock purchase plan.  

For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, revenue was $901.3 million, an increase of 13% over the nine months ended March 31, 2010 (a 14% increase on a constant currency basis).  For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, income from operations and net income were $200.2 million and $168.5 million, an increase of 17% and 23%, respectively, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $1.07 per diluted share, an increase of 20% compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

Inventory, at $205.0 million, increased by $19.4 million compared to June 30, 2010.  Accounts receivable days sales outstanding, at 68 days, decreased by 3 days compared to June 30, 2010.  

Peter C. Farrell PhD, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "In the third quarter of fiscal 2011 we continued to show strong year-over-year growth especially in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.  Revenue outside the Americas increased by 16% to $152.7 million over the prior year's quarter, or a 15% increase on a constant currency basis.    Revenue in the Americas increased by over 9% to $160.5 million over the prior year's quarter. Americas' revenues continued to be adversely impacted by reduced bilevel sales, but we expect that the recent launch of the S9™ bilevel series will help to reverse this trend. Worldwide, our growth in flow generators was mainly driven by sales of the S9 AutoSet™.  Patient interface sales did extremely well in all regions. With the recent launches of the Quattro™ FX full face mask and the Mirage™ FX nasal mask, we have completed the release of the trilogy of masks in the FX series.  Operating profit for the March quarter was $64.0 million and cash flow from operations was a record $81.4 million, demonstrating excellent operating performance.

"We expect the growth of all our products to continue to benefit from the vastly under-penetrated and growing sleep-disordered breathing market.  Due to the strong correlation between sleep-disordered breathing and comorbidities, such as heart disease and diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, perioperative death and occupational health and safety, we believe that there are significant opportunities to further penetrate the market. In addition, findings from clinical studies continue to demonstrate the importance of diagnosing and treating sleep-disordered breathing.  Increasingly, there is evidence coming to light that early intervention in the treatment of sleep-disordered breathing may slow or prevent the progression of chronic diseases."
