Discussion of Second Quarter Results

  • Revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding Software as a Service, grew by 9 percent compared to the prior year period, driven by strong sales across our mask and device product portfolios.
  • Revenue in combined Europe, Asia and other markets grew by 1 percent on a constant currency basis compared to the same period of the prior year. Mask sales were strong across these markets. As expected, device sales in France and Japan were impacted as customers completed their connected device upgrade programs. Device sales outside France and Japan grew well.
  • Software as a Service revenue increased by 63 percent, compared to the prior year period, due to continued growth in our Brightree service offerings and incremental contribution from the acquisition of MatrixCare, which closed in the second quarter and HEALTHCAREfirst, which closed in the first quarter.
  • Gross margin expanded by 70 basis points over the prior year period, primarily due to benefits from manufacturing and procurement efficiencies, product mix changes and higher margin contribution from MatrixCare, partially offset by declines in average selling prices.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 6 percent compared to the prior year period, or by 8 percent on a constant currency basis. Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 4 percent on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses improved to 24.8 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 25.2 percent in the same period of the prior year.
  • Income from operations increased by 8 percent and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 15 percent compared to the prior year period.
  • Net income increased by 1,208 percent, predominantly attributable to the one-time transition tax recognized in the prior year quarter, and non-GAAP net income remained stable compared to the prior year period. Non-GAAP measures adjust for amortization of acquired intangibles, MatrixCare deferred revenue, acquisition-related expenses, and the impact of U.S. tax reform.
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share increased by 1,129 percent, predominantly attributable to the one-time transition tax recognized in the prior year quarter, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share remained stable compared with the same period of the prior year.
  • Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $129.5 million, compared to net income in the current quarter of $124.6 million. During the quarter we paid $52.8 million in dividends.

Other Business and Operational Highlights

  • Completed the acquisition of MatrixCare, a leader in software solutions for more than 15,000 providers across skilled nursing, life plan communities, senior living and private duty, for consideration of $750.0 million.
  • Commenced the previously announced joint venture with Verily, combining ResMed’s expertise in sleep apnea and Verily’s advanced health data analytics technologies, to study the health and financial impacts of undiagnosed and untreated sleep apnea, and to develop software solutions that enable healthcare providers to more efficiently identify, diagnose, treat and manage individuals with sleep apnea and other breathing-related sleep disorders.
  • Announced the acquisition of Propeller Health, a digital therapeutics company providing connected health solutions for people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, for $225.0 million. The transaction closed on January 7, 2019.
  • Through Brightree, acquired Apacheta Corporation, a cloud-based Software as a Service provider offering mobile applications that empower companies to automate and streamline processes in route sales, field marketing, pick-up and delivery, transportation, and field services.
  • Named one of America’s top 100 corporate citizens for the third straight year by Forbes and JUST Capital. ResMed ranked #18 out of 890 large publicly traded U.S. companies, and #1 out of 32 “Health Care Equipment & Services” companies.

Share repurchase program

We have temporarily suspended our repurchase program due to recent acquisitions. Accordingly, we did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended December 31, 2018.

Dividend program

The ResMed board of directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.37 per share. The dividend will have a record date of February 7, 2019, payable on March 14, 2019. 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 Instruments 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 February 6, 2019 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 February 6, 2019 through February 7, 2019, inclusive.

(A)   ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, deferred revenue fair value adjustment, acquisition-related expenses, and the impact of U.S. tax reform on income tax expense 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.
