STRONG HALF YEAR RESULT FROM FISHER & PAYKEL HEALTHCARE: RECORD NET
PROFIT OF NZ$81.3 MILLION
Auckland, New Zealand, 21 November 2017 - Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
today announced its results for the half year ended 30 September 2017. Net profit after tax was
NZ$81.3 million, up 4% from the prior comparable period. Operating revenue was NZ$458.4
million, 8% above the first half last year.
“Our first half results are in line with our expectations and reflect consistent momentum across both
our product groups,” said Managing Director and CEO, Lewis Gradon.
Operating revenue for the Hospital product group, which includes products used in respiratory,
acute and surgical care, was up 11% to a record NZ$262.5 million. Much of this growth was driven
by the increasing adoption of Optiflow nasal high flow therapy. Products in the Hospital group now
make up 57% of the company’s operating revenue.
“Take up of our Optiflow nasal high flow therapy globally continues to be very encouraging, with
growth rates in the mid-20s percent range. This has been driven by the publication of more and
more clinical studies showing the benefit to patients and hospitals that comes from using our
Optiflow nasal high flow therapy,” said Mr Gradon.
The Homecare product group performed well, with operating revenue up 4% to NZ$191.3 million.
This group includes products used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and respiratory
support in the home. The company’s obstructive sleep apnea masks (OSA) continued to perform
well in particular, delivering 8% growth in constant currency.
“We have been very pleased with the response to our Brevida nasal pillows mask for treating OSA
patients,” said Mr Gradon. “This mask has been available in the US since March this year and it
was recognised with an HME Business New Product Award at the recent MedTrade tradeshow in
Atlanta.”
Gross margin increased by 116 basis points to 66%, or a 47 basis points increase in constant
currency, compared to the first half last year, primarily due to favourable product mix and increased
production in Mexico. “Construction of our new manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico is about to
commence and we anticipate that the new facility will be operational in mid-2018. 35% of our
manufacturing output now comes from Mexico, with the remainder coming from our New Zealand
manufacturing facilities.”
The company’s investment in R&D increased, with expenses growing by 13% to NZ$47 million,
representing 10% of operating revenue. “During the first half we began the introduction of a number
of innovative new products, notably our SleepStyle continuous positive airway pressure device for
patients with OSA, and Optiflow Junior 2 cannula for treating infants in respiratory distress.”
The company’s directors have approved an increased interim dividend of 8.75 NZ cents per
ordinary share, an increase of 6% on the interim dividend last year. The interim dividend, carrying
full New Zealand imputation credit, will be paid on 20 December 2017 with a record date of 6
December 2017. The dividend reinvestment plan, under which eligible shareholders can elect to
reinvest all or part of their cash dividends in additional shares, will again be made available in
respect of the 2018 interim dividend. The directors have determined that the DRP will be offered
without a discount for the 2018 interim dividend payment.
“In the first half we absorbed additional patent litigation costs of NZ$9.8 million compared to the first
half last year. Excluding the impact of these costs, growth in first half net profit after tax would have
been 13%. An update on the status of the patent litigation is included in our interim report. We
remain confident in our position and overall are satisfied with results to date.
Outlook for FY2018
”It is clear that we have large and diverse opportunities available in the short, medium
and long-term. We have a number of new products that will be released over the next few years
and intend that these products, along with our consistent growth strategy, will support sustainable
and profitable growth over the long-term.
“At current exchange rates we expect full year operating revenue for the 2018 financial year to be
approaching NZ$1 billion and net profit after tax to be approximately NZ$185 to NZ$190 million,”
concluded Mr Gradon.
Result highlights for the first half
• 4% growth in net profit after tax to a record NZ$81.3 million.
• 6% increase in interim dividend to 8.75 cps (2017: 8.25 cps).
• 8% growth in operating revenue to a record NZ$458.4 million, 8% growth in constant currency.
• 11% growth in Hospital operating revenue, 12% growth in constant currency.
• 19% constant currency revenue growth for consumables used in non-invasive ventilation,
Optiflow and surgical applications, accounting for 55% of Hospital consumables revenue.
• 4% growth in Homecare operating revenue, 5% growth in constant currency.
• 8% revenue growth in constant currency in OSA masks.
• Investment in R&D increased by 13% to NZ$47 million, representing 10% of operating revenue.

What we do
We design, manufacture and market products
and systems for use in respiratory care, acute
care, surgery and the treatment of obstructive
sleep apnea.
Our medical devices and technologies are
designed to help patients get better faster and
improve their quality of life. We help patients
transition to less acute care settings, help them
recover quicker and provide solutions that can
assist them to avoid more acute conditions. We
also provide the ability for some patients to be
treated in the home rather than the hospital.
Our products are categorised into two groups:
Hospital and Homecare.
Hospital
Homecare
Interim Report 20187Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
Respiratory humidification and support
Our world-leading respiratory humidification
products and systems are used in invasive
and non-invasive ventilation and in nasal
high flow therapy to provide warm,
humidified air to patients in respiratory
distress. Heated and humidified air can assist
in maintaining the body’s natural balance of
heat and moisture in the airways, improve
patient comfort and compliance, and deliver
better therapy outcomes.
Surgical technologies
We offer surgical humidification products
which have been shown to reduce certain
complications associated with laparoscopic
and open surgery.
CPAP therapy/OSA
Patients suffering from obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA) benefit from continuous
positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy,
which is delivered through flow devices and
facial masks. Our recently launched
SleepStyle CPAP device offers many
technological benefits for patients, and our
market-leading masks are well known for
their comfort, effective seal and easy use.
Home respiratory support
Our world-leading range of respiratory
humidification products are also used to
provide respiratory support in the home and
for patients in long-term care. This enables
patients to receive the benefits of our
Optiflow nasal high flow therapy and
ventilation outside of the hospital.

Sustainable growth
through innovation
We are pleased to report our result
for the first half of the 2018
financial year. Net profit after tax
was up 4% for the half at NZ$81.3
million, and operating revenue was
NZ$458.4 million, which is 8%
above the first half last year.
Trading has been in-line with our
expectations for the first half of this financial
year, and our net profit after tax growth of
4% is impacted by the timing of patent
litigation costs compared to the first half of
the prior year. In the first half of 2017, we
incurred one month’s worth of patent
litigation expenses (NZ$2.4M) as opposed
to the 2018 financial year where we have had
six months of these costs (NZ$12.2M). Our
updated net profit after tax guidance for the
full year of approximately NZ$185-190M
includes anticipated litigation expenses.
Last financial year we estimated that our
products were used in the treatment of
more than 12 million patients. This is a
number that continues to grow year on year,
and we expect to see this growth pattern
continue well into the future.
Product groups
Our business is structured in two parts:
Hospital and Homecare. The Hospital side
of our business includes products that are
used in respiratory and acute care, and
during surgery. Our systems in this
product group are designed to help
improve patient outcomes by reducing
the likelihood of medical complications and
the need to transition to more intensive
settings. Cost savings for healthcare
providers are often achieved through
shorter lengths of stay, reduced infections
and lower readmission rates.
In the first half of the financial year, the
Hospital product group delivered 11% growth
in operating revenue.
This growth is due largely to the positive
response we have received to our Optiflow
nasal high flow therapy system, which is
becoming widely used around the world.
Our Homecare product group includes
products and systems used to treat OSA
and patients requiring respiratory support
in the home. Products in this group include
CPAP therapy devices and masks, flow
generators, interfaces and data
management technologies.
In the first half of the financial year, the
Homecare product group delivered 4%
growth in operating revenue. This result has
been largely supported by a continuation of
good growth in our OSA mask business,
particularly from our new Brevida nasal
pillows mask which has only been available
in the US from March this year.

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer
Innovation, caring for
patients and producing
quality products is the
backbone for
sustainable growth.
We see large and diverse
opportunities for
sustained and profitable
long-term growth.
Interim Report 2018Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited10
Our approach
Our company is centred on innovation.
Caring for the patient, and continuing to
produce quality products that achieve better
patient care, is a philosophy that drives all
the teams within our business.
Continuing to innovate in a way that
supports our customers is a competitive
advantage and is crucial to achieving and
extending our leading positions in the
markets in which we operate. In the first
half of the 2018 financial year, approximately
31% of our revenue was derived from
products that had been introduced within
the last five years.
We have a consistent growth strategy -
designing better, more effective products to
support improved patient outcomes,
developing new therapies that change
clinical practice and reduce costs to
healthcare systems, extending our presence
around the world, and ensuring that our
growth is managed in a sustainable,
profitable way.
Sustainable, profitable growth
We have a number of large opportunities
for growth ahead of us. The first, currently
significant opportunity is in hospital
respiratory support, with our Airvo and
Optiflow products for nasal high flow
therapy. We estimate that our products are
being used to treat more than two million
patients each year out of more than
30 million patients admitted to hospital
annually who could benefit from this therapy.
In the medium-term, we expect to see
material revenue growth in our home
respiratory segment. This involves patients
with chronic respiratory conditions being
treated in their homes with our Optiflow and
myAirvo products. This part of our business
is currently small, and we estimate that
annually there are more than 10 million
patients with chronic respiratory problems
being treated in the hospital who could be
effectively treated in the home. We are
supporting the development of clinical
evidence showing that use of our nasal high
flow therapy in the home will result in
improvements in quality of life and reduced
hospital readmissions.
Over the next decade, we expect our
surgical products to be a more material
contributor to our overall business. Our
Humigard system is used to warm and
humidify the CO
2
that is used during
laparoscopic and some open surgical
procedures. This therapy has been shown to
significantly reduce the risk of postoperative
complications and their associated costs.
Currently, we support around 40,000
patients in this product group, but estimate
that this could extend to a potential
20 million patients annually.
It is clear that we have large and diverse
opportunities available in the short, medium
and long-term. We have a number of new
products that will be released over the next
few years and intend that these products,
along with our consistent growth strategy,
will support sustainable and profitable
growth over the long-term.
Patent litigation update
There have been a number of developments
over the past six months relating to the
patent litigation that we are involved in with
one of our competitors, ResMed. In Germany
Interim Report 201811Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
in October 2017 we were successful in
having two proceedings brought by ResMed
against us suspended. The same court ruled
that a German utility model patent asserted
by us against ResMed is not infringed, and
we have appealed that decision. Within the
last two weeks a UK court ruled that a
patent asserted against us by ResMed was
invalid. Subject to any appeal, this patent
will therefore be revoked in the UK and we
will be entitled to recover our legal costs of
the proceedings from ResMed.
These recent decisions reinforce our
confidence in our position and we are
satisfied with progress so far. A further
update on the patent litigation is included
on page 25 of this report.
Board changes
This half year, long-serving director Lindsay
Gillanders retired from the Board. We have
benefited from Lindsay’s vast expertise in
legal and intellectual property matters as
well as his international business experience,
and would like to acknowledge his
considerable contribution over the years.
In June, Pip Greenwood was appointed as
a non-executive director of the Board.
Pip is a board member and senior partner
at Russell McVeagh, a leading New Zealand
law firm. Pip’s appointment in June gave us
a seamless transition from Lindsay’s
retirement in August.
We also support the Future Directors’
programme, and are pleased to announce
that our current participant, Rachael
Newsome, has extended her time with us
from 12 to 18 months. Her term will now
conclude at the end of March 2018. We value
the perspective Rachael has brought to our
Board meetings, and look forward to her
input for another six months.
Dividend
The Board of Directors has approved an
increased interim dividend of 8.75 cents per
share for the six months to 30 September
2017. This is approximately 61% of net profit
after tax. The interim dividend will be paid
on 20 December 2017.
Summary
We are a world-class business
headquartered in New Zealand, with an
excellent and experienced management
team with considerable global healthcare
experience. Our focus is on growing
organically by delivering excellent healthcare
solutions for patients.
We have a long-standing aim to double our
constant currency revenue every five to six
years, which equates to a growth rate of
more than 12% every year. Our performance
this financial year to date, and the
developing nature of the markets in which
we operate, mean we remain confident that
we are on track to continue delivering on
this objective.
TONY CARTER, CHAIRMAN
LEWIS GRADON, MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Interim Report 2018Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited12
Our aspirations
We’ve established an enviable track record for
delivering sustainable revenue growth.
Through increasing our global reach, designing
and making better products, changing clinical
practice, and concentrating on a sustainable
profit journey, we believe we can continue to
maintain those growth rates over the long term.
In order to make a significant difference to
global healthcare systems, we recognise the
need to invest for long-term growth – in
research, technology and the development of
our employees. We have a responsibility to be
a sustainable, long-term partner for the many
patients, doctors, nurses, suppliers, investors,
and other stakeholders who we affect every day.
Our aspiration over the long term is to deliver
12% revenue growth per year, or doubling our
constant currency revenue every five to six
years. How will we do this? Through building
on what we know, leveraging our competitive
advantages and bringing our care by design
philosophy to everything we do.
Because at the end of the day, if we can do
better for patients, then we do better for
everyone.

The reconciliation set out above illustrates that, when comparing the NZ dollar profit before
tax shown in the actual income statement for the six months to 30 September 2017 with the
corresponding period for the prior year:
• the movement in average daily spot exchange rates had an unfavourable impact of
NZ$5.3 million; and
• the company’s foreign exchange hedging activities had a favourable impact of
NZ$0.7 million.
Overall, the net favourable effect of movements in exchange rates and the hedging programme
was NZ$0.3 million, including the impact of balance sheet revaluations.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE EFFECTS
The company is exposed to movements in foreign exchange rates, with approximately 51% of
operating revenue generated in US dollars, 20% in Euros, 6% in Australian dollars and 23% in
other currencies.
In the current period the proportion of revenue which was generated in US dollars was
51% (52% last full year). This was mainly due to changes in the value of the US dollar compared
to last year. The proportion of revenue from other currencies has remained relatively stable.
The company’s cost base continues to be increasingly diverse, as manufacturing output from
Mexico has increased to 35% of total output.
On average over the reporting period the value of the New Zealand dollar against the currencies
we are exposed to has generally moved unfavourably however US dollar hedges put in place
in the 2015 calendar year have provided better protection than the prior comparative period.
Average EUR conversion rates were unfavourable as measured against the prior comparative
period during FY17 as we had delivered the last of the very favourable long-term EUR hedges
put in place at the time of the Global Financial Crisis. As a net result a foreign exchange hedging
gain of NZ$10.4 million (2016: NZ$9.7 million) to operating profit was recorded, being similar to
the prior corresponding period.

The average daily spot rate and the average conversion exchange rate (i.e. the accounting rate,
incorporating the benefit of forward exchange contracts entered into by the company in respect
of the relevant financial year) of the main foreign currency exposures for the six months ended
2016 and 2017 are set out in the table below:

The effect of balance sheet translations of offshore assets and liabilities for the six months
ended 30 September 2017 resulted in an increase in operating revenue of NZ$0.6 million
(2016: decrease of NZ$5.3 million) and an increase in profit before tax of NZ$0.1 million (2016:
decrease of NZ$4.8 million).

FUNDING
The company had total available committed debt funding of NZ$255 million as at 30 September
2017, of which approximately NZ$182 million was undrawn, and cash on hand of NZ$59 million.
Bank debt facilities provide all available funding. Over the next 12 months debt facilities
totalling NZ$30 million will mature. As at 30 September 2017, the weighted average maturity of
borrowing facilities was 2.4 years.
Debt maturity
The average maturity of the term borrowings of NZ$62 million was 3.2 years and the currency
split was 71% US dollars; 20% Euros; 6% Australian dollars and 3% Canadian dollars (no NZD
denominated term borrowings).
Interest rates
Approximately 74% of all borrowings were at fixed interest rates with an average duration of
3.0 years and an average rate of 2.9%. Inclusive of floating rate borrowings, the average interest
rate on the debt is currently 2.7%. All interest rates are inclusive of margins but not fees.
Cash flow
Cash flow from operations was NZ$82.2 million compared with NZ$76.2 million for the
six months ended 30 September 2016. The increase includes a benefit in the timing of
tax payments.
Capital expenditure for the six months was NZ$51.6 million compared with NZ$30.4 million
in the prior year. The capital expenditure related predominantly to new product tooling and
manufacturing equipment as well as property and intangible costs. Property expenditure related
to land acquisition costs in Tijuana, Mexico and early earthworks costs for the fourth building
on our East Tamaki, Auckland campus, NZ$20.0 million in total. Due to the New Zealand and
Mexico building programme we expect capital expenditure to be higher in the second half of
the financial year with full year capital expenditure estimated to be NZ$130 million.
BALANCE SHEET
Gearing
1
at 30 September 2017 was 3.8%, higher than the 0.0% gearing at 31 March 2017. The
increase in gearing since 31 March 2017 is a result of increased capital expenditure, principally
land and buildings, and the increased FY17 final dividend paid in July. The gearing figure remains
within the debt to debt plus equity target range of +5% to –5%.

5. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Periodically the Group is party to litigation including product liability and patent claims.
ResMed Patent Litigation
United States
In August 2016, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare filed patent infringement proceedings in the US
District Court for the Southern District of California seeking judgment that ResMed’s AirSense
10 and AirCurve 10 range of flow generator products, ClimateLineAir heated air tubing, and
water chambers for use with such flow generator products, as well as Swift LT and Swift FX
masks infringe patents held by Fisher & Paykel Healthcare. ResMed responded that the patents
asserted are not infringed and/or are invalid.
ResMed also filed a counterclaim in the US District Court for the Southern District of California
seeking judgment that Fisher & Paykel Healthcare’s Simplus and Eson range of masks used in
the treatment of OSA infringe patents held by ResMed. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare responded
that it does not infringe and/or the patents of ResMed are invalid.
Also in August 2016, ResMed requested that the US International Trade Commission (ITC)
conduct an investigation into patent infringement allegations. Shortly before the start of the
trial in May 2017, ResMed withdrew its complaint to the ITC. ResMed indicated at the time that it
intended to file an additional ITC complaint but has not yet done so.
Both Fisher & Paykel Healthcare and ResMed have filed for inter partes review with the US
Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the patents asserted by the other in the US.
Germany
ResMed initiated patent infringement proceedings in the Regional Court in Munich in relation to
Fisher & Paykel Healthcare’s Simplus and Eson range of masks. These proceedings are currently
stayed pending the outcome of challenges to the validity of ResMed’s patents that will be heard
by the European Patent Office.
Fisher & Paykel Healthcare also filed patent infringement proceedings against ResMed in the
Regional Court in Munich in relation to ResMed’s AirSense 10 and AirCurve 10 range of flow
generator products and Lumis series of non-invasive ventilators. One case is currently stayed
pending the outcome of a validity challenge and one is awaiting its second hearing which has
been scheduled for 2018. In a third case the court ruled that a German utility model patent was
not infringed. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare has appealed that decision.
New Zealand
ResMed has initiated proceedings in the High Court of New Zealand in relation to Fisher & Paykel
Healthcare’s ICON CPAP device and Simplus and Eson range of masks. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare
has filed a counterclaim in the High Court of New Zealand for non-infringement and revocation.
United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom Fisher & Paykel Healthcare sought a declaration of non-infringement
and invalidity in the High Court of Justice Chancery Division Patents Court in respect of three
patents asserted against Fisher & Paykel Healthcare in Germany. ResMed counterclaimed for
infringement. Just before the trial was to start ResMed conceded to the revocation of two of
its patents in the UK. The trial proceeded in relation to a third patent and the Court found that
ResMed’s patent was invalid in its entirety. Subject to any appeal, this patent will be revoked in
the UK and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare is entitled to recover its legal costs of the proceedings
from ResMed for an amount yet to be determined by the Court.

5. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES CONTINUED
Impact
Both parties are seeking injunctions and damages in relation to the proceedings described on
the previous page. As at the date of the issue of these financial statements, an estimate of the
financial effect cannot be made.
Except as noted on the previous page, the Directors are unaware of the existence of any claim
or other contingencies that would have a material impact on the operations of the Group.
6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments are either carried at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment,
or fair value. The carrying value of all financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value.
There have been no changes to the Group’s hedging policy during the period. The Group
enters into foreign currency option contracts or forward foreign currency contracts within
policy parameters to manage the net risk associated with anticipated sales or costs. The Group
generally applies hedge accounting to all derivative financial instruments.
All derivative financial instruments continue to be re-measured to their fair value. Derivatives
continue to be classified as being within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and there were no
changes in valuation techniques during the period.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the period the Group has not entered into any material contracts involving related
parties or directors’ interests. No amounts owed by related parties have been written off or
forgiven during the period. Apart from directors’ fees, key executive remuneration and dividends
paid by the Group to its directors, there have been no related party transactions.
9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group’s operating segments consist of New Zealand, North America, Europe and Asia
Pacific. The composition of these segments is unchanged from the audited consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017. Performance is measured based on
segment operating profit, as the chief operating decision-maker believes that such information
is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that
operate within this industry.
The Group’s products and systems are for use in respiratory care, acute care and the treatment
of obstructive sleep apnea and are sold in over 120 countries worldwide. Revenues are managed
on a regional basis, but a split by product group is set out in Note 3.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT
To the shareholders of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited (“the
Company”), and its controlled entities (“the Group”) on pages 20 to 28, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 September 2017, the
consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated
statement of cash flows for the period ended on that date, and selected explanatory notes.
Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements
The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and presentation of these financial statements in accordance with New Zealand
Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34) and for such internal controls as the Directors determine are
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the accompanying financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with
the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410).
NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements, taken as a whole, are
not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34. As the auditors of the Group, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical
requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements.
A review of financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, primarily consisting of
making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The procedures
performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand)
and International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these financial statements.
We are independent of the Group. Our firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of advisory, tax compliance, other assurance services and
procedures for scrutineering the counting of votes at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. The provision of these other services has not impaired our
independence.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these financial statements of the Group are not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34.
Who we report to
This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s shareholders those
matters which we are required to state to them in our review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the shareholders for our review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed.
