ResMed Announces Financial Results for Quarter and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2007

SAN DIEGO, April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD) today announced revenue and pro forma income results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Revenue for the quarter was $183.0 million, a 13% increase over the quarter ended March 31, 2006. For the current quarter, pro forma income from operations and pro forma net income were $44.3 million and $31.1 million, an increase of 5% and 3% respectively (pro forma measures exclude the impact of stock-based compensation costs, restructuring expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and voluntary product recall expenses, as described below). Pro forma diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, were $0.39. GAAP operating loss was $(21.9) million for the current quarter, while GAAP net loss was $(15.4) million or $(0.20) per diluted share. These results were significantly impacted by a $59.7 million ($41.8 million net of tax) charge for voluntary product recall expenses. Gross margin was 29.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Excluding voluntary product recall expenses gross margin was 62.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, which is consistent with the year ago figure of 62.2%.

Pro forma selling, general and administration (SG&A) costs for the March quarter were $57.4 million, an increase of $7.3 million, or 15%, over the same quarter in fiscal 2006. Pro forma SG&A costs were 31% of revenue in the March quarter, consistent with the same period in fiscal 2006. GAAP SG&A costs during the March quarter were $61.3 million. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to the addition of selling and administration personnel and related expenses necessary to support sales growth.

Pro forma research & development expenditure during the March quarter was $12.6 million. GAAP R&D expense during the quarter was $13.1 million or approximately 7% of revenue. GAAP R&D expenses increased 43% year over year and are expected to remain at approximately 7% of net revenue through the end of this fiscal year.

Amortization of acquired intangibles of $1.7 million ($1.1 million net of tax), incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, consisted of amortization of acquired intangible assets associated with our acquisitions of Resprecare, Hoefner, Saime, Pulmomed and PolarMed. Stock-based compensation costs incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, of $4.7 million ($3.5 million net of tax), consisted of expenses associated with stock options granted to employees and the employee stock purchase plan.

As described in a press release issued concurrently with this earnings release, ResMed has announced that it will conduct a worldwide voluntary recall affecting approximately 300,000 of its S8 flow generators. The Company is currently in discussion with the US Food & Drug Administration, and other regulatory authorities, regarding this action. The estimated cost of this action is $ 59.7 million which has been recognized as a charge to cost of sales in the consolidated statement of income and accrued in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007. These costs are still subject to finalization and approval of the Company's recall plan by regulatory authorities.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, revenue was $525.0 million, an increase of 20% over the $435.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, pro forma income from operations and pro forma net income were $131.9 million and $93.6 million, an increase of 19% and 21%, respectively. On a GAAP basis, income from operations was $54.1 million, while net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, was $38.6 million or $0.49 per diluted share.

The Company has provided tabular reconciliation of GAAP operating income and GAAP net income with pro forma operating income and pro forma net income, (excluding the impact of stock-based compensation costs, restructuring expenses, amortization of acquired intangibles and voluntary product recall expenses) for the three month and nine month periods ended March 31, 2007, and March 31, 2006.

Inventory at $156.9 million as of March 31, 2007, increased by $15.0 million compared to December 2006 levels. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding, at 73 days, increased marginally compared to the December 2006 quarter of 72 days.

Peter C. Farrell PhD, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, overall Americas sales increased by 10%; excluding sales from our motor division, Americas sales increased by 13% over the year ago quarter. Sales growth for the Americas were impacted by challenging year ago comparables and competitor discounting. However, there was continuing strong demand for our Swift nasal pillows system, our full-face masks and the Adapt SV. Sales outside of the Americas totaled $88.4 million, a 16% increase over last year. Operating cash flow for the March quarter was $20.3 million."

Dr. Farrell continued, "The voluntary recall we are announcing today reflects ResMed's absolute commitment to both quality and our patients. We are confident our decision is in the best interests of our distribution partners and the many patients who rely on our devices to control their sleep disordered breathing although this initiative significantly impacts this quarter's earnings. To date the problem of particular concern has been observed in only 7 of approximately 300,000 early production S8 devices. The issue was due to potentially faulty power supply connectors provided by one of our long-term suppliers. S8 devices produced after May 2006 are unaffected. On a more positive note, we are excited by the launch this week at Medtrade of two new flow generators, the full scale release of C-Series Tango and the VPAP Malibu as well as three new mask offerings: the Swift II, the Quattro full face mask and the Liberty, a full face mask incorporating our nasal pillow technologies. These new product introductions will provide physicians with a complete selection of sleep therapy solutions for their patients."

          Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
               (Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)

In managing its business, ResMed makes use of certain non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company's results of operations. The measure, "pro forma operating income" is reconciled with GAAP operating (loss) income in the table below:

                            Three Months Ended         Nine Months Ended

The measure, "pro forma net income" is reconciled with GAAP net (loss) income in the table below:

    Pro forma net

     the impact of

     compensation costs,
     restructuring

     voluntary product
     recall expenses)       31,082       30,052       93,608       77,602


ResMed believes that presenting diluted earnings per share, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation costs, restructuring expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and voluntary product recall expenses is an additional measure of performance that investors can use to compare operating results between reporting periods. In addition, the events giving rise to the restructuring expenses are not associated with the Company's normal operating business and are expected to result in future market opportunities, cost savings, and other benefits.

Management of the Company uses non-GAAP information internally in planning, forecasting, and evaluating the Company's results of operations in the current period and in comparing it to past periods. The Company also uses these non-GAAP measures in evaluating management performance for compensation purposes. Management believes that this information also provides investors better insight in evaluating the Company's earnings performance from core operations and provides consistency in financial reporting.

Management believes disclosure of non-GAAP earnings has economic substance because the excluded expenses represent non-cash expenditures, or relate to transactions that are variable in nature between reporting periods. Our use of non-GAAP earnings 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. We compensate for the inherent limitations of non-GAAP measures by not relying exclusively on non-GAAP measures, but rather by using such information to supplement GAAP financial measures.
