(A) 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.

(B) See the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures in the table at the end of the press release.

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

Revenue grew by 7 percent on a constant currency basis, driven by increased demand for our sleep devices, as well as strong growth across our mask product portfolio.
- Revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding Software-as-a-Service, grew by 9 percent.
- Revenue in Europe, Asia, and other markets, excluding Software-as-a-Service, grew by 3 percent on a constant currency basis.
- Software-as-a-Service revenue increased by 8 percent, reflecting continued organic growth in our SaaS portfolio.
Gross margin increased by 260 basis points mainly due to reduced freight and manufacturing cost improvements. Non-GAAP gross margin increased by 240 basis points due to the same factors.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 1 percent on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses improved to 19.2 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 20.5 percent in the same period of the prior year. The modest increase in SG&A expenses reflects cost management initiatives implemented in the previous quarter.
Income from operations increased by 25 percent, and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 23 percent.
Net income for the quarter was $300 million and diluted earnings per share was $2.04. Non-GAAP net income increased by 27 percent to $314 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased by 27 percent to $2.13, predominantly attributable to strong sales and gross margin as well as modest growth in operating expenses.
Operating cash flow for the quarter was $402 million, compared to net income in the current quarter of $300 million and non-GAAP net income of $314 million.
During the quarter, we paid $70 million in dividends and repurchased 261,000 shares for consideration of $50 million as part of our ongoing capital management.

Other Business and Operational Highlights

Introduced the AirCurve™ 11 series of devices, built on the market-leading AirSense 11 platform. New devices provide bi-level and enhanced ventilation therapy options, particularly for those who struggle with single pressure PAP therapy.
Launched the AirFit F40 in the U.S. An ultra-compact, full-face mask, the AirFit F40 features the AdaptiSeal™, a silicone cushion designed to maintain a facial seal, even when moving around during sleep, along with a fully flexible frame, a quick-release short tube, and new textile material and color.
In conjunction with World Sleep Day, a global campaign to raise awareness of the importance of good sleep, published the results of our 4th annual Global Sleep Survey of 36,000 people across 17 markets. Survey found 50% of respondents report feeling excessive daytime sleepiness and 40% report getting no more than three nights of good sleep per week. More than one-third of respondents are now actively tracking their sleep patterns, either through a smartphone app (44%) or wearable (31%).

Dividend program
The ResMed board of directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.48 per share. The dividend will have a record date of May 9, 2024, payable on June 13, 2024. 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 May 8, 2024, 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 May 8, 2024, through May 9, 2024, inclusive.

(A) ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring expenses, field safety notification expenses, acquisition-related expenses, and associated tax effects 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.

(A) Totals and subtotals may not add due to rounding.

(B) 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.
