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

• Revenue increased 10% to $751.9 million; up 9% on a constant currency basis

• GAAP gross margin of 58.3%; non-GAAP gross margin expanded 30 bps to 59.9%

• Net operating profit increased 27%; non-GAAP operating profit up 24%

• GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.22; non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.27

“Our first quarter results reflect solid performance and positive trends across our business,” said Mick Farrell, ResMed’s CEO. “During the quarter, we continued to support the global COVID-19 pandemic response, providing ventilators, masks, and circuits to countries in need around the world. In our core markets of sleep apnea, COPD and asthma, we are encouraged by the sequential improvement in new patient volume, as well as the ongoing strong adoption of our mask and accessories resupply programs. We have accelerated the launch of digital health solutions to help clinicians remotely diagnose, treat, and manage patients during the pandemic and beyond. Our global team is effectively managing SG&A expenses, while investing in broad-based R&D programs to help accelerate our ResMed 2025 growth strategy: improving 250 million lives in out-of-hospital healthcare in 2025.”

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

• Revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding Software as a Service, grew by 9 percent, driven by strong sales across our mask product portfolio and increased demand for our ventilators due to COVID-19, partially offset by a decrease in demand for our sleep devices.

• Revenue in combined Europe, Asia, and other markets grew by 10 percent on a constant currency basis, primarily driven by sales across our device and mask product portfolio, including increased demand for our ventilators due to COVID-19.

• Software as a Service revenue increased by 6 percent, due to continued growth in resupply service offerings and stabilizing patient flow in out-of-hospital care settings.

• Gross margin expanded by 80 basis points while non-GAAP gross margin expanded by 30 basis points. These expansions were primarily due to benefits from product mix changes and foreign exchange rates, partially offset by declines in manufacturing and procurement efficiencies driven by higher air freight costs.

• Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by 7 percent on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses improved to 21.1 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 24.6 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 27 percent and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 24 percent.

• Net income grew by 48 percent and diluted earnings per share grew by 47 percent, largely attributable to the impact of legal settlement expenses in the prior year. Non-GAAP net income grew by 37 percent and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share grew by 37 percent, predominantly attributable to strong ventilator device sales and controlled operating costs.

• Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $144.0 million, compared to net income in the current quarter of $178.4 million. During the quarter we paid $56.5 million in dividends.

Other Business and Operational Highlights

• Introduced the AirTouch N20 foam CPAP mask with a memory foam cushion, the softest nasal mask ever. AirTouch N20 uses the same patented UltraSoft memory foam cushion as the full face AirTouch F20, adapting to the curves and contours of each face to create a soft, personalized fit designed to increase comfort and CPAP adherence.

• Two ResMed masks, the AirFit N30 and AirFit F30i, received Good Design Australia Awards in the Product Design category for achieving the highest level of design and innovation in service to sleep apnea patients worldwide. ResMed has now won eight Good Design Australia Awards.

• ResMed CEO Mick Farrell was named Large Public Company CEO of the Year by the San Diego Business Journal. Farrell was honored for leading ResMed’s response to the global pandemic and the company’s swift pivot to increasing its manufacturing of lifesaving ventilators and bilevel devices by more than 3.5 times during the first six months of the COVID-19 crisis. ResMed also accelerated the launch of new digital health solutions to help clinicians remotely diagnose, treat, and manage sleep apnea, COPD, and asthma patients during the pandemic and beyond.

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 November 12, 2020, payable on December 17, 2020. 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 11, 2020, 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 11, 2020, through November 12, 2020, inclusive.

	Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
	(Unaudited; $ in thousands, except for per share amounts)
	The measures "non-GAAP net income" and “non-GAAP diluted earnings per share” are reconciled with GAAP net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share in the table below:
		Three Months Ended
		September 30, 2020					September 30, 2019
	GAAP net income	$	178,372				$	120,148
	Amortization of acquired intangibles - cost of sales, net of tax (A)		9,169					10,267

	GAAP diluted earnings per share	$	1.22				$	0.83
	Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (A)	$	1.27				$	0.93
(A)	ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, deferred revenue fair value adjustment and the (gain) loss on equity investments 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.
