SAN DIEGO, April 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD, ASX: RMD), a world-leading digital health company, today announced results for its quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Highlights
All comparisons are to the prior year period

• Revenue was comparable at $768.8 million; down 3% on a constant currency basis
• GAAP gross margin of 58.2%; non-GAAP gross margin contracted 40 bps to 59.6%
• Net operating profit increased 3%; non-GAAP operating profit up 2%
• GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share of $(0.54); non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.30

“Our March 2021 quarter results reflect the ongoing recovery of core patient flow across our business, while we anniversary the $35 million of incremental COVID-19 revenue in the same quarter last year. Excluding the COVID-19 revenue from the March 2020 quarter, we achieved positive revenue growth on both a headline and constant currency basis,” said Mick Farrell, ResMed CEO. “Our global team is supporting patients and all of our customers as the most recent waves of COVID-19 cases impact parts of Europe, Asia, and South America. I am extremely proud of our ResMed team as they innovate with new digital pathways for patients to be diagnosed and treated for their sleep apnea, COPD, asthma, and out-of-hospital needs.

"During the quarter we also made substantial progress toward resolving our long-running dispute with the Australian Tax Office. Although we do not have a final agreement, we have taken a reserve of $255 million, reflecting our estimate of the net impact of a potential settlement. Our next steps are to agree on the final terms of a resolution giving us clarity for the future.

"Going forward, we see accelerated awareness of the importance of respiratory health, growing adoption of digital health, and an increased focus on the importance of healthcare delivered at home. We are confident in accelerated growth in patient flow, and ongoing progress toward our goal of improving 250 million lives in out-of-hospital healthcare in 2025.”

(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.

(B)   See the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures in the table at the end of the press release.

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

• During the March quarter, we derived no incremental revenue from COVID-19 related demand whereas our prior year quarter included incremental revenue in the order of $35 million. Excluding the impact of the incremental COVID-19 related revenue from the prior year quarter, revenue increased by 1 percent on a constant currency basis.
• Revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding Software as a Service, grew by 2 percent, driven by strong sales across our mask product portfolio, partially offset by lower device sales, including decreased demand for our ventilators due to COVID-19.
• Revenue in Europe, Asia, and other markets declined by 13 percent on a constant currency basis, primarily driven by lower device sales, including decreased demand for our ventilators due to COVID-19, and flat sales in our mask product portfolio.
• Software as a Service revenue increased by 5 percent, due to continued growth in resupply service offerings and stabilizing patient flow in out-of-hospital care settings.
• Gross margin decreased by 20 basis points and non-GAAP gross margin decreased by 40 basis points, mainly due to additional manufacturing costs associated with the transition to our new Singapore site during the quarter, higher freight costs and geographic mix changes.
• Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by 11 percent on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses improved to 20.9 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 22.4 percent in the same period of the prior year. These changes in SG&A expenses were mainly due to savings in travel and other cost management as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Income from operations increased by 3 percent and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 2 percent.
• Our income tax expense was impacted by the recognition of a $254.8 million reserve in relation to our ongoing dispute with the Australian Tax Office covering tax years 2009-2018.
• Net loss for the quarter was $78.5 million and diluted loss per share was $0.54, predominantly due to the additional income tax reserve of $254.8 million. Non-GAAP net income grew by 1 percent to $190.4 million and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share grew by 1 percent to $1.30.
• Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $196.3 million, compared to net loss in the current quarter of $78.5 million and non-GAAP net income of $190.4 million. During the quarter we paid $56.8 million in dividends.

Dividend program
The ResMed board of directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.39 per share. The dividend will have a record date of May 13, 2021, payable on June 17, 2021. 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 May 12, 2021, 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 May 12, 2021, through May 13, 2021, inclusive.

(A)    ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, reserve for disputed tax positions, restructuring expenses, deferred revenue fair value adjustment, litigation settlement expenses, the (gain) loss on equity investments and the fair value impairment of investment 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.

(A)    Totals and subtotals may not add due to rounding.
(B)    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.
