Discussion of Fourth Quarter Results

Revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding Software as a Service, grew by 11 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 4 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 111 percent, compared to the prior year period, due to continued growth in 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 120 basis points over the prior year period, primarily due to higher margin contribution from MatrixCare, benefits from manufacturing and procurement efficiencies, partially offset by declines in average selling prices.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 9 percent compared to the prior year period, or by 14 percent on a constant currency basis. Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 3 percent on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses improved to 24.3 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 25.1 percent in the same period of the prior year.
Income from operations decreased by 18 percent and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 18 percent compared to the prior year period.
Net income and diluted earnings per share both decreased by 37 percent, predominantly attributable to the impact of legal settlement expenses of $41.2 million, recent acquisitions, restructuring expenses, and higher interest charges compared to the prior year quarter.
Non-GAAP net income grew by 1 percent and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were the same compared with the prior year quarter.
Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $141.8 million, compared to net income in the current quarter of $68.8 million. During the quarter we paid $53.1 million in dividends.

Other Business and Operational Highlights

Introduced AirFit P30i, ResMed’s second top-of-head connected CPAP mask, now in a nasal pillows option, further expanding the mask portfolio with options providing even more flexibility and choice to help users sleep better in any position.
Expanded Brightree’s suite of HME solutions, now offering an Analytics Suite for HMEs and a resupply solution for three new categories outside of sleep therapy.
Led or sponsored a combined total of 40 studies at the ATS 2019 International Conference and SLEEP 2019, further establishing ResMed’s medical research leadership with new insights into the effects and treatment of sleep apnea, COPD, and asthma.

Dividend program

The ResMed board of directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.39 per share, an increase of 5% compared to the most recent quarterly dividend of $0.37 per share. The dividend will have a record date of August 15, 2019, payable on September 19, 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 August 14, 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 August 14, 2019 through August 15, 2019, inclusive.

(A)	ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, deferred revenue fair value adjustment, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring-related expenses, litigation settlement expenses, fair value impairment of investment, 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.
