Financial Results and Operating Metrics

(A) In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we provide certain financial information on a “constant currency” basis, which is in addition to the actual financial information presented. In order to calculate our constant currency information, we translate the current period financial information using the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the previous comparable period. However, constant currency measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to U.S. dollar measures that reflect current period exchange rates, or to other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Discussion of First Quarter Results

All comparisons are to the prior year period unless otherwise noted

• Revenue grew by 9 percent on a constant currency basis, driven by increased demand for our sleep and respiratory care devices as well as reduced competitive supply.
  • Revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding Software-as-a-Service, grew by 18 percent, primarily due to the factors discussed above and recovery of core sleep patient flow that was previously impacted by COVID-19.
  • Revenue in Europe, Asia, and other markets declined by 6 percent on a constant currency basis.
  • Software-as-a-Service revenue increased by 9 percent, due to continued growth in our Home Medical Equipment vertical.
• Gross margin increased by 90 basis points and non-GAAP gross margin increased by 40 basis points, mainly due to an increase in average selling prices, partially offset by unfavorable product mix and foreign currency movements.
• Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 16 percent on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses increased to 20.4 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 19.5 percent in the same period of the prior year. These changes in SG&A expenses were mainly due to increases in employee-related expenses and increases in travel expenses.
• Income from operations increased by 5 percent and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 4 percent.
• Net income for the quarter was $210.5 million and diluted earnings per share was $1.43. Non-GAAP net income was $222.1 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $1.51, both consistent with the same period of the prior year.
• Operating cash flow for the quarter was $44.7 million, reflecting the impact of increases in working capital. During the quarter we paid $64.4 million in dividends.
  

Other Business and Operational Highlights

• Announced the acquisition of mementor, a German pioneer and health tech startup that develops and distributes digital medical products in the field of sleep medicine and related areas. mementor offers the first permanently approved Digital Health Application (DiGA), somnio, eligible for reimbursement in the field of sleep medicine.

The measures “non-GAAP gross profit” and “non-GAAP gross margin” exclude amortization expense from acquired intangibles related to cost of sales and are reconciled below:

The measure “non-GAAP income from operations” is reconciled with GAAP income from operations below:

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited; $ in thousands, except for per share amounts)

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:

(A) ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, acquisition-related expenses and the reserve for disputed tax positions from their evaluation of ongoing operations, and believes that 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 that 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 when evaluating ResMed’s performance from core operations and provides consistent financial reporting. The use of non-GAAP measures is intended to supplement, and not to replace, the 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.
