ResMed (RMD)

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2004

Net Revenues.    Net revenue increased for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $425.5 million from $339.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $86.2 million or 25%. The increase in net revenue was attributable to an increase in unit sales of our flow generators, masks and accessories. Sales also benefited from an appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar (increasing sales by approximately $10.4 million). Net revenue in North and Latin America increased for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $218.1 million from $166.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $52.0 million or 31%. This growth has been generated by increased public and physician awareness of sleep-disordered breathing together with our continued investment in our sales force and marketing initiatives. Product releases during the year, in particular our Mirage Swift mask, have also contributed strongly to our sales growth.

Net revenue in markets outside the Americas increased for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $207.4 million from $173.2 million for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively, an increase of 20%. International sales growth for the year ended June 30, 2005 reflects organic growth in the overall sleep-disordered breathing market, appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar and the acquisition during the year of Resprecare, Hoefner and Saime. These acquisitions contributed incremental revenue of $11.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, international sales grew by 13%.

Sales of flow generators for the year ended June 30, 2005 totaled $209.8 million, an increase of 24% compared to the year ended June 30, 2004, including increases of 22% in North and Latin America and 25% elsewhere. Sales of mask systems, motors and other accessories totaled $215.7 million, an increase of 27%, including increases of 38% in North and Latin America and 12% elsewhere, for the year ended June 30, 2005, compared to the year ended June 30, 2004. These increases primarily reflect growth in the overall sleep-disordered breathing market, acquisitions during the year, appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar and new product releases.

Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $274.9 million from $216.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $58.2 million or 27%. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue increased for the year ended June 30, 2005 to 65% from 64% for the year ended June 30, 2004. The improvement in gross margin reflects a more favorable product mix due to increased sales of higher margin mask products and new product introductions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $135.7 million from $104.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $31.0 million or 30%. As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2005 was 32%, marginally higher than 31% in the year ended June 30, 2004. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of sales and administrative personnel to support our growth, the acquisitions of Resprecare, Hoefner and Saime, continued infrastructure investment, particularly in our European businesses, and other expenses related to the increase in our sales. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was also attributable to appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar, which added approximately $4.0 million to our expenses as reported in U.S. dollars.

Research and Development Expenses.    Research and development expenses increased for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $30.0 million from $26.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $3.8 million or 15%. As a percentage of net revenue, research and development expenses were 7% for the year ended June 30, 2005 compared to 8% for the year ended June 30, 2004. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to higher employee compensation and increased charges for consulting fees and technical assessments incurred to facilitate development of new products. The increase also reflects an appreciation of the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar, as the majority of research and development costs are incurred in Australian dollars. The appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar added approximately $1.3 million to our research and development expenses as reported in U.S. dollars.

Donations to Foundations.    In the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 we donated $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, to the ResMed Foundation in the U.S., and the Resmed Foundation in Australia. The Foundations’ overall mission includes the education of both the public and physicians about the inherent dangers of untreated SDB/OSA, particularly as it relates to cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease.

In-process Research and Development Charge.    Purchased in-process research and development of $5.3 million was expensed upon acquisition of Saime as technological feasibility of the products under development had not been established and no further alternative uses existed. The nature of this charge is explained more fully in note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets.    Amortization of acquired intangible assets for the year ended June 30, 2005 totaled $0.9 million compared to $nil for the year ended June 30, 2004, and related to acquired intangible assets totaling $46.0 million associated with the acquisitions of Saime, Hoefner and Resprecare.

Restructuring Expenses.    Restructuring expenses incurred for the year ended June 30, 2005 were $5.2 million and consisted of restructure charges associated with our integration of the separate operations of ResMed Germany and MAP into a single operating unit. We have completed the relocation of our ResMed Germany operation, previously located in Moenchengladbach, to Munich and associated integration of the back office functions including customer service, logistics and administration. We will continue to monitor the progress of this restructure and adjust our business strategies and personnel accordingly to achieve maximum efficiencies and cost savings.

Other Income (Expense), Net.    Other expense, net for the year ended June 30, 2005 was $0.7 million, consistent with the year ended June 30, 2004. In fiscal year 2005, other expense, net reflected lower net foreign currency exchange gains, partially offset by lower interest expense due to the reduction in our convertible note debt that occurred in the 2004 fiscal year.

Income Taxes.    Our effective income tax rate increased to approximately 33% for the year ended June 30, 2005 from approximately 32% for the year ended June 30, 2004. However, adding back the impact of the non-deductible in-process research and development charge of $5.3 million taken in the year ended June 30, 2005 would result in an adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 31%. The lower adjusted effective tax rate was primarily due to our geographical mix of taxable income. In particular, we continue to benefit from the Australian corporate tax rate of 30% and certain Australian R&D tax benefits because we generate a majority of our taxable income in Australia.

Net Income.    As a result of the factors above, our net income for the year ended June 30, 2005 was $64.8 million or $0.91 per diluted share compared to net income of $57.3 million or $0.82 per diluted share for the year ended June 30, 2004. The restructuring expenses, in-process research and development charge and amortization of acquired intangible assets described above resulted in a reduction of earnings per diluted share of $0.12 and $0.00 on an after-tax basis, respectively, for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

As a percentage of net revenue, we expect our future selling, general and administrative expense to continue in the historical range of 31% to 33%.
