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

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD) today announced results for its quarter ended September 30, 2016. Revenue for the quarter was $465.4 million, a 13 percent increase compared to the same period of the prior year. Excluding the contribution from the Brightree acquisition, revenue for the quarter was $432.4 million, a 5 percent increase.

"We had a solid start to our fiscal year with 13 percent constant currency revenue growth led by our Brightree software offerings and global device sales," said Mick Farrell, ResMed's chief executive officer. "We continue to demonstrate the value of our solutions, and earlier today, announced the world's largest study on patient adherence. During the quarter, we drove consumer sleep awareness through a new U.S. media partnership, and sponsored a positive clinical study showing that non-invasive ventilation significantly reduces the risk of re-hospitalization and death for COPD."

Farrell concluded, "In 2017, we continue to focus on developing and commercializing new, innovative products and solutions that improve patient outcomes, create efficiencies for our customers, and help physicians and providers better manage chronic disease and lower healthcare costs. We have an exciting pipeline of new products, and look forward to bringing them to market."

Analysis of first quarter results

First quarter revenue in the Americas was $301.0 million, an 18 percent increase over the same period of the prior year. This included Brightree revenue of $33.1 million. Excluding Brightree, revenue in the Americas was $267.9 million, a 5 percent increase over the prior year. Revenue in combined EMEA and APAC was $164.5 million, an increase of 5 percent on a constant currency basis compared to the same period of the prior year.

Gross margin in the first quarter was 57.8 percent, which included a field safety notification expense of $5.1 million relating to the battery in our Astral ventilation device. Excluding the field safety notification expense, the gross margin for Q1 FY17 was 58.9 percent, higher than the prior year's quarter, mainly due to manufacturing and procurement efficiencies and an incremental contribution from the Brightree acquisition, partly offset by changes in product mix and average selling prices.

Income from operations for the quarter was $94.1 million, a 4 percent decline compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Non-GAAP income from operations for the quarter was $111.0 million, an 11 percent increase compared to the same period of the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $128.9 million, a 16 percent increase over the same period in the prior year, or a 15 percent increase on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses increased to 27.7 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 27.0 percent reported in the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Research and development expenses were $34.4 million, or 7.4 percent of revenue. R&D expenses increased by 27 percent compared with the same period last year, or a 21 percent increase on a constant currency basis.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $11.7 million during the quarter, an increase of $9.4 million compared with the same period last year. The increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets was primarily due to the amortization expense associated with our recent acquisitions, in particular Brightree, Curative and Inova. Stock-based compensation costs incurred during the quarter of $12.0 million consisted of expenses associated with employee equity grants, and our employee stock purchase plan.

Net income for the quarter was $76.1 million, an 8 percent decrease compared to the same period of the prior year. Non-GAAP net income was $87.7 million, a 4 percent increase compared to the prior year. Non-GAAP measures adjust for amortization of acquired intangibles and the Astral battery field safety notification expenses. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter decreased 7 percent to $0.54. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 5 percent to $0.62.

Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $86.2 million compared to net income in the current quarter of $76.1 million.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(In US$ thousands, except share and per share data)

The measure, "non-GAAP income from operations" is reconciled with GAAP income from operations below:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2016	2015
GAAP income from operations	94,146	98,025
Astral battery field safety notification expenses ^(A)	5,070	-
Amortization of acquired intangible assets ^(A)	11,741	2,307
Non-GAAP operating income	110,957	100,332

The measures "non-GAAP net income" and "non-GAAP diluted earnings per share" are reconciled with GAAP net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share in the table below:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2016	2015
GAAP net income	76,107	82,917
Astral battery field safety notification expenses, net of tax ^(A)	3,549	-
Amortization of acquired intangible assets, net of tax ^(A)	8,006	1,717
Non-GAAP net income ^(A)	87,662	84,634
Diluted shares outstanding	142,090	142,280
GAAP diluted earnings per share	$0.54	$0.58
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share ^(A)	$0.62	$0.59


^(A)	ResMed adjusts for the impact of the Astral battery field safety notification 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.
