ResMed Inc. Announces Results for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2017

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.

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.

                     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.
