Insights

Financial Analyst

ResMed's Q1 FY2025 results showcase robust financial performance with significant improvements across key metrics. Revenue growth of 11% to $1.2 billion demonstrates strong market demand, while the substantial gross margin expansion of 420 basis points to 58.6% reflects improved operational efficiency. The 34% increase in operating profit to $387.3 million and 42% growth in net income to $311.4 million indicate excellent execution of cost management strategies.

The company's strong cash flow generation of $326 million provides financial flexibility for both shareholder returns and strategic investments. The balanced capital allocation strategy is evident in the $78 million dividend payment and $50 million share repurchase during the quarter. The margin expansion story is particularly impressive, with SG&A expenses improving to 19.5% of revenue from 20.2% year-over-year.

Medical Technology Analyst

The launch of AirTouch N30i fabric mask represents a significant innovation in CPAP therapy comfort, addressing a key barrier to patient compliance. The integration of digital wearables and AI for personalized sleep health solutions positions ResMed at the forefront of connected healthcare technology. The company's 2030 strategy, aiming to reach 500 million people, demonstrates ambitious scaling plans in the sleep and breathing health market.

The 12% growth in Residential Care Software revenue highlights successful expansion in digital health solutions. The rebranding of business segments to 'Sleep and Breathing Health' and 'Residential Care Software' aligns with the evolving healthcare technology landscape and positions ResMed as an integrated healthcare solutions provider rather than just a medical device manufacturer.

• Year-over-year revenue grows 11%, operating profit up 34%, non-GAAP operating profit up 27%
• Operating cash flow of $326 million

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

• Revenue grew by 11 percent on a constant currency basis, driven by increased demand for our sleep devices and masks portfolio, as well as strong growth across our Residential Care Software business.
  • Revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding Residential Care Software, grew by 11 percent.
  • Revenue in Europe, Asia, and other markets, excluding Residential Care Software, grew by 10 percent on a constant currency basis.
  • Residential Care Software revenue increased by 12 percent on a constant currency basis, reflecting continued organic growth in our Residential Care Software portfolio.
• Gross margin increased by 420 basis points mainly due to manufacturing efficiencies and component cost improvements and an increase in average selling prices. Non-GAAP gross margin increased by 320 basis points due to the same factors.
• Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 7 percent on a constant currency basis. The increase in SG&A expenses was mainly due to increases in employee-related expenses. SG&A expenses improved to 19.5 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 20.2 percent in the same period of the prior year.
• Income from operations increased by 34 percent, and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 27 percent.
• Net income for the quarter was $311 million and diluted earnings per share was $2.11. Non-GAAP net income increased by 35 percent to $325 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased by 34 percent to $2.20, predominantly attributable to strong sales growth and gross margin improvement.
• Operating cash flow for the quarter was $326 million, compared to net income in the current quarter of $311 million and non-GAAP net income of $325 million.

(A) ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, field safety notification expenses, acquisition related 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.
