OREANDA-NEWS. April 27, 2016. ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD) today announced results for its quarter ended March 31, 2016. Revenue for the quarter was \\$453.9 million, a 7 percent increase compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2015; this is a 9 percent increase on a constant currency basis.  

"We have seen sustained success with the execution of our healthcare informatics strategy driving seven consecutive quarters of device growth, since the Q1 2015 launch of our Air Solutions platform. This quarter our team delivered strong double-digit growth in the Americas region, with solid global constant currency growth of 9%. Customers have responded to the value proposition of our Air Solutions platform, including the efficiencies it brings to their businesses and its ability to help them drive even better patient outcomes through connected care," said

Mick Farrell, ResMed's chief executive officer.

"We continue to build on our offerings across our strategy for both products and informatics solutions. This quarter we announced the close of the Inova transaction, which allows us to expand our respiratory care offerings to include portable oxygen concentrators. With the acquisition of Brightree in April, we have established ourselves as the outright leader for cloud-based end-to-end solutions in HME, home health, and hospice channels."

Farrell continued, "This expansion into new products and informatics solutions allows ResMed to continue its global leadership as a tech-driven medical device company. We are liberating healthcare data and unlocking value by providing actionable connected care solutions for patients, physicians, providers, and payers."

Gross margin in the third quarter was 57.3 percent; this is lower than the prior year's quarter, mainly due to changes in product mix, average selling prices and geographic mix.

Research and development expenses were \\$28.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, or 6.2 percent of revenue. R&D expenses increased by 4 percent compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2015; this is an 11 percent increase on a constant currency basis.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets was \\$4.6 million during the quarter. Stock-based compensation costs incurred during the quarter of \\$10.9 million consisted of expenses associated with employee equity grants, and the company's employee stock purchase plan.

Non-GAAP net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was \\$95.4 million, a 3 percent increase compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2015 (non-GAAP measures exclude amortization of acquired intangibles and \\$3.6 million in acquisition expenses associated with our acquisitions of Inova and Brightree). 

GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter were \\$0.63, a 2 percent decrease compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter were \\$0.68, a 5 percent increase compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

ResMed excludes the impact of release of SERVE-HF accrual, restructuring expenses, acquisition-related expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets from their evaluation of ongoing operations and believes investors benefit from excluding these charges to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of current operating performance.

ResMed believes that non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, which exclude the impact of the SERVE-HF accrual release, restructuring expenses, acquisition-related expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets, is an additional measure of performance 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 in evaluating ResMed's performance from core operations and provides consistent financial reporting. Our use of non-GAAP measures is intended to supplement, and not to replace, our 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.
