Fisher & Paykel Healthcare provides FY20 trading update


Auckland, New Zealand, 17 March 2020 - Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited

announced today that it has further updated its revenue and earnings guidance for the financial

year ended 31 March 2020.


The full year guidance update provided in February, based on a NZ:US exchange rate of 64

cents, was for operating revenue to be approximately $1.2 billion and net profit after tax to be

approximately $260 million to $270 million.


Since then, the NZ dollar has weakened against most currencies. Assuming a NZ:US exchange

rate of approximately 61 cents and a NZ:EU exchange rate of approximately 55 cents for the

rest of the financial year, the company expects full year operating revenue to be approximately

$1.24 billion and net profit after tax to be within the range of approximately $275 million to $280

million.


“Our respiratory humidifiers and consumables are directly involved in treating patients with

coronavirus. We have seen an increase in demand globally and have ramped up our

manufacturing output. At the same time, we have benefited from stronger sales in our

Homecare product group and a weakening of the NZ dollar,” said Managing Director and CEO

Lewis Gradon.


“Our highest priorities are the safety and welfare of our people and the patients who use our

products. We are very appreciative of the support that we have received from our suppliers and

from government agencies globally during this challenging time. I also want to express my deep

gratitude to our employees, who are working tirelessly to manufacture our products, support

operations and supply and train end users. I know our team is doing everything we can to meet

the needs of our customers and the patients who use our products,” said Mr Gradon.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare intends to release its results for the year ended 31 March 2020 on

Thursday, 28 May 2020.
