SAN DIEGO, Oct. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD, ASX: RMD) today announced results for its quarter ended September 30, 2023.

First Quarter 2024 Highlights
All comparisons are to the prior year period

• Revenue increased by 16% to $1.1 billion; up 15% on a constant currency basis 
• Gross margin contracted 250 bps to 54.4%; non-GAAP gross margin contracted 160 bps to 56.0%

• Operating cash flow of $286.3 million

“ResMed has started Fiscal Year 2024 with strong revenue growth driven by ongoing patient flow and solid demand across our global sleep and respiratory care markets, alongside increasing adoption of our outside hospital software solutions,” said Mick Farrell, ResMed’s CEO. “Our ability to meet global demand with technologies, including our best-in-class AirSense 11 platform, has positioned us well to continue growing across global markets, with particularly strong growth this quarter in Europe, Asia, and beyond. We’ve begun rolling out AI-driven software products into our digital health ecosystem, which I believe will create a new class of offerings that will allow us to continue to drive long-term, profitable growth. New patient starts on our physician and provider-facing platform, called AirView, and our patient-facing app, called myAir, show very strong patient flow. With these increasing rates of patients activated into the healthcare funnel, I am more confident than ever in our growth strategy and our ability to achieve our goal of improving 250 million lives in 2025.”

Discussion of First Quarter Results
All comparisons are to the prior year period unless otherwise noted

• Revenue grew by 15 percent on a constant currency basis, driven by increased demand for our sleep and respiratory care devices.
  • Revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding Software-as-a-Service, grew by 10 percent.
  • Revenue in Europe, Asia, and other markets, excluding Software-as-a-Service, grew by 18 percent on a constant currency basis.
  • Software-as-a-Service revenue increased by 32 percent, reflecting incremental revenue from our acquisition of MEDIFOX DAN and continued organic growth in our SaaS portfolio.
• Gross margin decreased by 250 basis points and non-GAAP gross margin decreased by 160 basis points, mainly due to costs associated with a field safety notification on Astral devices and higher component and manufacturing costs, partially offset by a favorable product mix and favorable foreign currency movements.
• Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 14 percent on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses improved to 20.2 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 20.4 percent in the same period of the prior year. The increase in SG&A expenses were mainly due to increases in employee-related expenses and incremental expense associated with our acquisition of MEDIFOX DAN.
• Income from operations increased by 5 percent and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 10 percent.
• Net income for the quarter was $219.4 million and diluted earnings per share was $1.49. Non-GAAP net income increased by 9% to $241.2 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased by 9% to $1.64, predominantly attributable to strong sales, partially offset by gross margin contraction.
• Operating cash flow for the quarter was $286.3 million, compared to net income in the current quarter of $219.4 million and non-GAAP net income of $241.2 million. During the quarter we paid $70.6 million in dividends.
  

Other Business and Operational Highlights

• Presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress on topics including improving NIV management, phenotyping, and personalizing OSA therapy, innovative clinical practice in home high-flow therapy, indication of use of ASV therapy, and implementing patient feedback in CPAP therapy management.
• Announced and closed the acquisition of privately held Somnoware, a leader in digital sleep and respiratory care diagnostics software for sleep labs and physicians. Somnoware is upstream of and complementary to ResMed’s current post-testing AirView and Brightree offerings and will remain an open platform.

Dividend program
The ResMed board of directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.48 per share. The dividend will have a record date of November 9, 2023, payable on December 14, 2023. The dividend will be paid in U.S. currency to holders of ResMed’s common stock trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Holders of CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) trading on the Australian Securities Exchange will receive an equivalent amount in Australian currency, based on the exchange rate on the record date, and reflecting the 10:1 ratio between CDIs and NYSE shares. The ex-dividend date will be November 8, 2023, for common stockholders and for CDI holders. ResMed has received a waiver from the ASX’s settlement operating rules, which will allow ResMed to defer processing conversions between its common stock and CDI registers from November 8, 2023, through November 9, 2023, inclusive.

(A)

ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, acquisition-related expenses, Astral field safety notification expenses, and associated tax effects 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.
