(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.

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

Revenue grew by 9 percent on a constant currency basis, driven by increased demand for our sleep devices and masks portfolio, as well as solid growth across our Residential Care Software business.
- Revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding Residential Care Software, grew by 9 percent.
- Revenue in Europe, Asia, and other markets, excluding Residential Care Software, grew by 9 percent on a constant currency basis.
- Residential Care Software revenue increased by 9 percent on a constant currency basis, reflecting continued organic growth in our Residential Care Software portfolio.
Gross margin increased by 230 basis points mainly due to procurement, manufacturing and logistics efficiencies as well as favorable foreign currency movements. Non-GAAP gross margin increased by 230 basis points due to the same factors.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 8 percent on a constant currency basis. The increase in SG&A expenses was mainly due to increases in employee-related costs and marketing expenses, including investments associated with our recent global brand launch along with demand generation activities. SG&A expenses improved to 19.7 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 19.8 percent in the same period of the prior year.
Income from operations increased by 19 percent and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 19 percent.
Net income for the quarter was $380 million and diluted earnings per share was $2.58. Non-GAAP net income increased by 22 percent to $375 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased by 23 percent to $2.55, predominantly attributable to strong sales growth and gross margin improvement.
Operating cash flow for the quarter was $539 million, compared to net income in the current quarter of $380 million and non-GAAP net income of $375 million.
During the quarter, we paid $78 million in dividends to shareholders and repurchased 419,000 shares for consideration of $100 million as part of our ongoing capital management.

(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, in addition to tax benefits from business cessation, and the tax effect of interest and penalties on tax refunds 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.
