"Our first-quarter results demonstrate strong performance across our business with double-digit growth in both top-line and bottom-line metrics, driven by ongoing high demand for our sleep and respiratory care products, and steady growth across our software-as-a-service business," said Mick Farrell, ResMed CEO. "It is through the extraordinary efforts of our global ResMed team that we were able to deliver products and solutions to our customers amid unprecedented supply chain challenges that continue to restrict access to critical electronic components. As we navigate supply limitations and are forced to allocate products, we continue to ensure priority for highest-acuity and highest-need patients first, as well as working with physicians, providers, and community systems to maintain a sustainable flow of medical devices and digital health solutions to patients who need care."

"Despite constantly evolving market dynamics, we continue to pivot to meet the needs of our stakeholders, driving sustainable long-term growth, and ensuring that we are investing strongly in medical device research and development, as well as digital health innovation that will unlock value for all of our customers. I'm incredibly proud of our global teams that are working with providers and physicians in the most unusual times across 140 countries, to get products directly into the hands of patients who need our solutions most."

In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we provide certain financial information on a "constant currency" basis, which is in addition to the actual financial information presented. In order to calculate our constant currency information, we translate the current period financial information using the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the previous comparable period. However, constant currency measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to U.S. dollar measures that reflect current period exchange rates, or to other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Discussion of First Quarter Results

All comparisons are to the prior year period unless otherwise noted

Revenue grew by 19% on a constant currency basis, driven by increased demand for our sleep and respiratory care devices and increased demand following a recent product recall by one of our competitors, partially offset by decreased COVID-19 related demand for ventilators.
- The current quarter did not include material incremental respiratory care revenue from COVID-19 related demand whereas the prior year quarter included incremental revenue of approximately $40.0 million. Excluding the impact of incremental respiratory care revenue associated with COVID-19 in the prior year quarter, revenue increased by 25 percent on a constant currency basis.
- Revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding Software as a Service, grew by 22 percent, primarily due to the factors discussed above and recovery of core sleep patient flow that was previously impacted by COVID-19. Excluding the prior year impact of incremental respiratory care revenue associated with COVID-19, revenue increased by 28 percent.
- Revenue in Europe, Asia, and other markets grew by 21 percent on a constant currency basis, primarily due to the factors discussed above and strong sales across our mask product portfolio. Excluding the prior year impact of incremental respiratory care revenue associated with COVID-19, revenue increased by 29 percent on a constant currency basis.
- 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 decreased by 230 basis points and non-GAAP gross margin decreased by 270 basis points, mainly due to higher manufacturing costs, incremental freight costs, and lower average selling prices.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 10 percent on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses improved to 19.5 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 21.1 percent in the same period of the prior year. These changes in SG&A expenses were mainly due to increases in employee-related expenses.
Income from operations increased by 21 percent and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 18 percent.
Net income grew by 14 percent and diluted earnings per share grew by 14 percent. Non-GAAP net income grew by 20 percent and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share grew by 19 percent, predominantly attributable to strong sales.
Operating cash flow for the quarter was negative $65.7 million and was impacted by a payment to the Australian Tax Office of $284.8 million, which was the settlement amount of $381.7 million net of prior remittances. After adjusting for this payment, our operating cash flow for the quarter was $219.1 million, compared to net income in the current quarter of $203.6 million and non-GAAP net income of $222.0 million. During the quarter we paid $61.2 million in dividends.

Other Business and Operational Highlights

Introduced the AirSense 11 in the U.S., ResMed's next-generation PAP (positive airway pressure) device designed to help millions of people worldwide with sleep apnea start and stay on therapy to treat and manage obstructive sleep apnea.
Announced the promotion of Bobby Ghoshal to President of ResMed's SaaS business.
Presented new research at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress 2021 including the landmark ALASKA study, "CPAP Termination and All-Cause Mortality: a French Nationwide Database Analysis," that concludes people with obstructive sleep apnea who continue PAP therapy are 39% more likely to survive than OSA patients who don't.
During the quarter, concluded the settlement agreement with the Australian Taxation Office ("ATO"), which fully resolves the transfer pricing dispute for all prior years since 2009. ResMed previously recognized a tax reserve in fiscal year 2021 in anticipation of the settlement.
- The net impact of the settlement was $238.7 million ($381.7 million gross less credits and deductions of $143.0 million). The settlement provides closure for historic Australian tax matters and greater clarity into the future.
- As a result of the ATO settlement and due to movements in foreign currencies, recognized a $4.1 million reduction in tax credits during the quarter, which was recorded as an increase in income tax expense.

Dividend program

The ResMed board of directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.42 per share. The dividend will have a record date of November 11, 2021, payable on December 16, 2021. 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 10, 2021, 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 10, 2021, through November 11, 2021, inclusive.

GAAP diluted earnings per share	$	1.39	$	1.22
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share ^(A)	$	1.51	$	1.27

(A)	ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, reserve for disputed tax positions, 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.
