SAN DIEGO, July 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD) today announced results for its quarter ended June 30, 2015. Revenue for the quarter was $453.1 million, a 9 percent increase compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2014 (a 17 percent increase on a constant currency basis). Net income was $87.5 million, consistent with the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.61, consistent with the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

The results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 were impacted by two non-recurring items: first, expenses of $5.0 million ($3.5 million, net of tax) associated with the field safety notice in response to results of the SERVE-HF clinical trial and second, donations of $6.0 million ($3.8 million, net of tax), which were comprised of a $5.0 million donation to the University of California - San Diego to fund a center of excellence and endowed chair in the field of pulmonary and critical care medicine and an incremental donation of $1.0 million to the ResMed Foundation. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $96.4 million, a 3 percent increase compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2014 (non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of expenses associated with the SERVE-HF field safety notice, donations and amortization of acquired intangibles in the current quarter and the restructuring expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles in the prior year quarter). Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.68, a 3 percent increase compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

"We finished the year with strong double-digit constant currency revenue growth and greater than 50 percent flow generator growth in the Americas during the fourth quarter. As expected, we have also achieved a solid return to growth in our mask business. We have continued our active share repurchase program and the board has also declared an increase in our dividend," said Mick Farrell, ResMed's chief executive officer. "This quarter we grew our healthcare informatics capability with the acquisition of CareTouch and earlier today, we announced the acquisition of Curative Medical, an investment in China that will provide a complementary brand with a robust respiratory care and sleep apnea product portfolio. We will continue to invest in R&D and manufacturing for the Curative brand in China as we grow our new ResMed-Curative business." Farrell concluded, "Our global team ended fiscal year 2015 with a strong $1.7 billion in revenues as we continue to drive towards our goal of changing 20 million lives by 2020 with innovative products and solutions that improve patient outcomes, reduce the impact of chronic disease and lower healthcare costs."

Analysis of fourth quarter results
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, revenue in the Americas was $273.7 million, a 27 percent increase over the prior year's quarter. Revenue in combined Europe and Asia Pacific was $179.4 million, a 10 percent decrease compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2014 (a 5 percent increase on a constant currency basis).

Including one-off expenses of $5.0 million in relation to the SERVE-HF field safety notice, gross margin in the fourth quarter was 57.3 percent. Excluding these one-off expenses, the gross margin for Q4 FY15 was 58.4%, lower than the prior year's quarter, mainly due to an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rate movements, an unfavorable geographic mix, declines in average selling prices and an unfavorable product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $123.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, a 1 percent increase (a 12 percent increase on a constant currency basis) over the quarter ended June 30, 2014. SG&A expenses improved to 27.2 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 29.4 percent in the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Research and development expenses were $28.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, or 6.3 percent of revenue. R&D expenses decreased by 10 percent (a 5 percent increase on a constant currency basis) compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $2.1 million during the quarter. Stock-based compensation costs incurred during the quarter of $13.1 million consisted of expenses associated with employee equity grants, and the company's employee stock purchase plan.

Operating profit for the quarter was $99.5 million and cash flow from operations was $99.6 million.

Fiscal year 2015 results
Revenue for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $1.7 billion, an 8 percent increase compared with the year ended June 30, 2014 (a 13 percent increase on a constant currency basis). Net income was $352.9 million, a 2% increase compared with the year ended June 30, 2014. Diluted earnings per share for the year were $2.47, a 3% increase compared with the year ended June 30, 2014. Non-GAAP earnings per share for the year were $2.57, a 4% increase compared with the year ended June 30, 2014.

    (A)              ResMed excludes SERVE-HF field
                     safety notice expenses,
                     donations, restructuring
                     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 diluted
                     earnings per share, which
                     exclude the impact of SERVE-HF
                     field safety notice expenses,
                     donations, restructuring
                     expenses and the 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.
