Record half year result for Fisher & Paykel Healthcare: net profit up 86%


Auckland, New Zealand, 25 November 2020 - Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited today

announced its results for the first half of the 2021 financial year, which ended 30 September 2020.

Net profit after tax was $225.5 million, up 86% over the same period in the previous financial year,

or 87% in constant currency. Operating revenue was $910.2 million, up 59% or 61% in constant

currency.


“I would like to express our thanks and admiration for the healthcare providers around the world,

who have responded with care and courage to the COVID-19 pandemic. I also want to thank

everyone across our entire business, as well as their partners and families, for their contribution to

ensuring those healthcare providers have the equipment they need to care for their patients,” said

Managing Director and CEO Lewis Gradon. “Our thanks and gratitude also extend to our suppliers

around the world. They have gone above and beyond to answer the global call for our products.”


The strong result was driven by the increased demand for the company’s Hospital hardware, in

particular its Optiflow

TM

and Airvo

TM

systems. This reflected a shift in clinical practice toward using

nasal high flow therapy as a front-line treatment for COVID-19 patients in hospital.


In the Hospital product group, which includes products used in acute and chronic respiratory care

and surgery, operating revenue grew 93% over the first half of the previous financial year to

$681.0 million, or 94% growth in constant currency. Hospital products made up three-quarters of the

company’s operating revenue.


“Sales in hardware and consumables continued to track surges in COVID-19 globally, as the virus

moved across Europe, North America, South America and South Asia,” said Gradon.


In the Homecare product group, which includes products used in the treatment of obstructive sleep

apnea (OSA) and nasal high flow therapy in the home, operating revenue grew 5% to $226.2 million,

or 6% growth in constant currency.


“Since the pandemic started, many sleep clinics have been closed, resulting in a reduction in new

patient diagnoses. Our F&P Evora

TM

and F&P Vitera

TM

masks for OSA are great products that have

yet to reach their full potential,” said Gradon.


A reduction in gross margin for the six-month period to 61.7% was due to the increased use of air

freight and the elevated costs associated with it. Excluding these additional freight costs, gross

margin was in line with the first half of the previous financial year in constant currency.


The company’s directors have approved an interim dividend of 16 cents per ordinary share, an

increase of 33% on the interim dividend last year. The interim dividend, carrying full New Zealand

imputation credit, will be paid on 16 December 2020 with a record date of 4 December 2020.


Guide for the remainder of FY2021

“We had a strong first half of the year and have continued to expand our installed base of hardware

in hospitals,” said Gradon. “Since our last trading update in August, we maintained the same level of

both hardware and consumables revenue in our Hospital product group for the half year. In our

Homecare product group, OSA masks revenue also continued at similar levels to the first four

months of the financial year.


We cannot predict the course of COVID-19, the effectiveness or adoption of preventative measures,

the progress of a vaccine and its outcomes, the impact on future hospitalisation rates, or the


investments countries may make in treatment measures. Consequently, we have no basis on which

to provide guidance for the full 2021 financial year, so we are providing a guide to full-year results

based on the following assumptions:


 Hospital hardware sales return to normal levels from January 2021.

 The use of our hospital hardware returns down to approximately normal rates for the second

half of the financial year.

 OSA diagnosis rates are reduced for the second half of the financial year, due to limited

access to customers.

 Freight costs remain elevated, resulting in a reduction in gross margin of approximately

200 bps in constant currency for the full financial year compared to the prior financial year.


Based on these assumptions, and reflecting sustained stronger Hospital hardware sales to date, full

year operating revenue would be approximately $1.72 billion, and net profit after tax would be

approximately $400 million to $415 million. This guide is based on exchange rates of NZD:USD 0.69

and NZD:EUR 0.58.


Our assumptions used in providing this guide are not a prediction of the course of COVID-19 around

the world and do not impact our production planning. We will continue to accelerate our investment

in manufacturing capacity to ensure that a further increase in supply of our products is available,”

said Gradon.


“Our heartfelt thanks go out to our customers and to our suppliers, shareholders and clinical

partners who are supporting us during this extraordinary year,” he concluded.


Overview of key results for the first half

 86% growth in net profit after tax to a record $225.5 million (1H FY20: $121.2 million).

 59% growth in operating revenue to $910.2 million, 61% growth in constant currency.

 93% growth in Hospital operating revenue to $681.0 million, 94% growth in constant currency.

 43% constant currency revenue growth for new applications consumables; i.e. products used in

non-invasive ventilation, Optiflow nasal high flow therapy and surgical applications, accounting for

63% of Hospital consumables revenue.

 5% growth in Homecare operating revenue, 6% growth in constant currency.

 3% growth in constant currency revenue in OSA masks.

 Investment in R&D was 7% of revenue, or $64.6 million.

 33% increase in interim dividend to 16 cps (1H FY20: 12 cps).

SCOTT ST JOHNChairmanLEWIS GRADONManaging Director and Chief Executive Officer

We typically begin this letter by reflecting on our achievements over the past six months. As the world continues to grapple with a pandemic, we believe it is more fitting to start by expressing our thanks and admiration for our customers, the healthcare providers who have responded with care and courage. We would also like to thank our own teams across the business for their contributions to ensuring that healthcare providers have the equipment they need to care for patients. Lifting production on our most-needed products has required an extraordinary effort from our people, as well as their partners and family members.Moreover, we would like to thank our suppliers for going above and beyond to provide the raw materials, components and services required to answer the global call for our products.For the first six months of the 2021 financial year, we are reporting strong financial performance. Operating revenue was

$910.2 million, up 59 per cent over the previous financial year, or 61 per cent in constant currency. Net profit after tax was $225.5 million, up 86 per cent, or 87 per cent in constant currency.Growth continued to be driven by hospital hardware and consumables sales, most notably strong demand for our Optiflow and Airvo systems used for treating COVID-19 patients. This reflected a worldwide change in clinical practice. Informed by emerging studies and anecdotal evidence, respiratory specialists began leading with nasal high flow therapy before resorting to ventilators. In our Hospital product group, revenue was $681.0 million, which was a 93 per cent increase over the first half of the 2020 financial year, or 94 per cent in constant currency. Sales in hardware and consumables tracked the surges in COVID-19 globally, as the virus swept across Europe, North America, South America and South Asia. In our Homecare product group, revenue for the first half was $226.2 million, which was a 5 per cent increase over the first half of the 2020 financial year, or 6 per cent in constant currency. The first half was challenging for our sales team in obstructive sleep apnea products. Many sleep clinics were closed,

INTERIM REPORT 2021

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited

resulting in a reduction in new patient diagnoses. Customers have responded positively to our F&P Evora™ and F&P Vitera™ masks for OSA, and we are confident these are great products that have yet to reach their full potential. Throughout the pandemic, we have adapted to changing conditions and emerging challenges. We continue to put health and safety first, requiring the use of masks throughout our New Zealand and Mexico facilities and maintaining social distancing protocols. Face-to-face meetings with customers have been limited, so we are using virtual tools to support our hospital customers, sleep clinics and distribution partners. Our sales representatives have been partnering with clinicians to host educational webinars, and our in-house product and clinical specialists have launched a website to provide urgently needed training and resources. Key opinion leaders have become outspoken advocates for our products and therapies. One of our long-time collaborators, Dr Gerard Criner from Temple University, contributed to an important study (published in May) on using nasal high flow therapy to treat COVID-19 patients. The benefits of nasal high flow therapy are now mentioned daily in the media. The exposure clinicians have had

to our hardware bodes well for treating respiratory patients in hospitals for the long term.

New products and marketsWhile significantly increasing production on our humidification systems and products for nasal high flow therapy, we have continued to innovate and release products into new markets. We launched the F&P Nivairo™+ mask for noninvasive ventilation into several Asian countries and our vented Nivairo mask into the US. We also released our Optiflow 3S interface in the US. For patients using nasal high flow therapy in the home, we launched new myAirvo tube and chamber kits for adults and children, and home versions of Optiflow Junior interfaces for infants in Europe, Canada and Australia. FacilitiesWe continue to plan ahead for our facilities needs and expand our manufacturing capacity. When COVID-19 restrictions were eased, we accelerated the opening of the Daniell Building, our fourth building in New Zealand. In addition to housing some of our research and development teams, the new space expands our manufacturing and distribution space, so we can rebuild stock to pre-COVID-19 inventory levels.

We are grateful to our people for responding to the global call with such commitment and dedication.SCOTT ST JOHNChairman

Constant currency (CC) removes the impact of exchange rate movements. This approach is used to

assess the Group’s underlying comparative financial performance without any distortion from changes in foreign exchange rates. A full reconciliation and basis of preparation is set out on page 15.

Total profit after tax for the period was up 86% to $225.5 million (87% in constant currency).RevenueOperating revenue was $910.2 million, 59% higher than the same period last year or 61% in constant currency. Hospital revenue grew 94% in constant currency driven by the demand for products used to treat COVID-19 patients. Homecare revenue increased 6% in constant currency.Gross marginGross margin decreased by 420 basis points in constant currency due to additional air freight to expedite deliveries in response to COVID-19. Gross margin excluding additional freight was 65.9%, which was above our long term target of 65% and in line with last year in constant currency.

Operating expenses Operating expenses increased 17% (17% in constant currency) to $252.7 million, reflecting ongoing expenditure to support global sales growth and COVID-19 response operating costs. This more than offset lower travel and sales event-related activities in the current period following global COVID-19 travel restrictions. Research & development (R&D) spend of $64.6 million grew 20%. Over the long term we expect R&D spend to grow on average in line with constant currency revenue growth. Financing expensesTotal reported financing expenses decreased to be net income – driven, mainly by the gain on foreign currency interest-bearing liabilities, including lease liabilities. Excluding the impact of foreign currency movements, net financing expense increased by $0.5M. Ta xOur effective tax rate for the period was 28.0% up from 24.1% in the prior period. Excluding the benefit from the R&D tax credit, the effective tax rate was 30.0% for the period (2019: 28.2%), reflecting the effect of foreign currency translations. The R&D tax credit reported this year of $6.4 million (2019: $6.6 million) represents the estimated eligible R&D expenditure incurred during the period.

Approximately 61% of COGS and over 49% of operating expenses are in currencies other than NZD. The volatility in foreign currency markets which saw the NZD/USD spot rate decline to below 0.60 prior to 31 March 2020 has eased, with the NZD/USD at 0.66 at 30 September 2020. This resulted in significant changes in the valuation of derivatives and other balances denominated in foreign currency, including foreign accounts receivable and foreign currency debt at 30 September 2020 compared to 31 March 2020. The effect of these balance sheet translations for the period decreased operating revenue by $10.6 million (2019: $8.5 million increase) and reduced profit after tax by $3.6 million (2019: $0.8 million increase). Foreign exchange hedging resulted in a pre-tax loss of $1.4 million (2019: $2.8 million loss). The NZD strengthened over the six-month period from 31 March 2020. Compared to the prior period, both the average daily spot rate and the average conversion exchange rate (i.e. the accounting rate, incorporating the effect of foreign currency hedging in respect of the relevant financial period) decreased as set out in the table below.

Our balance sheet remains strong with net cash of $78.1 million. Trade receivables have increased largely due to strong sales, offset by unfavourable foreign currency translation movements. Our debtors days are 44 days, a slight improvement from 45 days in the prior period. Higher inventories reflect a buildup in raw materials to enable us to meet potential heightened demand and increased finished goods following lower levels in March 2020. The increase in property, plant and equipment includes recognition of capital investment of $78.4 million of which $64.9 million related to production tooling and equipment costs. These increases are offset by $28.0 million of depreciation. Construction work on the Daniell Building (our fourth building) was completed in June 2020 on our Auckland, New Zealand campus. Total spend on this project was $146 million. Intangible assets have increased by $5.0 million including patent acquisition costs and ERP implementation costs. Other net assets/liabilities movements included a significant increase in net derivative instrument assets of $147.2 million, partially offset by the associated deferred tax movements of $41.2 million. The NZD accelerated decline as the last financial year ended has now largely reversed. This resulted in the majority of currency derivatives that were in a liability position as at 31 March 2020 to now be in an asset position at 30 September 2020. All currency derivatives continued to be effective hedges. Other movements in net asset/liabilities include an increase in employee-related obligations and taxation payable.

The average maturity of loans and borrowings of $66.2 million at 30 September 2020 was 0.8 years and the currency split was 92% USD; 5% Australian dollars and 3% Canadian dollars (with no NZD denominated debt). Interest-bearing debt decreased by $22.4 million including the impact of favourable currency revaluations. Current loans and borrowings included a US$30 million facility which expired on 1 November 2020 and has been replaced with two new NZ$30 million multi-currency facilities commencing 14 October 2020 and expiring 30 September 2025.We held cash balances and short-term investments, mainly in NZD, of $158.3 million at the end of the period. This balance, and operating cash generated in the second half of FY2021, will fund the payment of the interim dividend, provisional tax and ongoing payments for capital expenditure. Gearing

At 30 September 2020 the group had net cash of $78.1 million and gearing of -7.1%. Gearing is outside the lower band of the target range of -5% to +5%. Gearing will return to the target range post the dividend payment in December and is projected to remain within the target range for the balance of the financial year. 1.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORTREPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSTo the shareholders of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited

OUR QUALIFIED CONCLUSIONWe have reviewed the consolidated financial statements of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited (the Company) and its

subsidiaries (the Group), which

comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 September 2020, and the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statem

ent of comprehensive

income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month period e

nded on that date, and

significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.Except for the adjustments to the consolidated financial statements that we might have become aware of had it not been for the

situation described in the Basis

for qualified conclusion section of our report, based on our review nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe

that the consolidated financial

statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 30 September

2020, and its financial performance

and its cash flows for the six months ended on that date, in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34.

BASIS FOR QUALIFIED CONCLUSIONWe conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (Revised)

Review of Financial Statements Performed by the

Independent Auditor of the Entity

(NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)). Our responsibilities are further described in the

Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the financial

statements

section of our report.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, certain of the Group’s annual finished products inventory counts and materials cycle counts plann

ed to be held on or close to

31 March 2020 did not occur. As a result, we did not observe the counting of certain physical inventories at 31 March 2020 and

were unable to satisfy ourselves

sufficiently by alternative means as to the quantities and condition of inventory held at that date. We consequently qualified

our audit opinion on the consolidated

financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020. Since opening inventories enter into the determination of the financial performance for the current period, our review conclusi

on is modified as we were unable to

determine whether adjustments might have been necessary in respect of the profit for the six months ended 30 September 2020 rep

orted in the consolidated

income statement and consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and the possible effect of this matter on the comparabilit

y of the current period’s

balance sheet and the corresponding figures.We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to the audit of th

e annual financial statements, and

we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements. In addition to our role as

auditor, our firm carries out other

services for the Group in the areas of treasury related financial markets risk analysis and commentary, regulatory tax complian

ce in Mexico and other assurance

services in relation to constant currency disclosures. The provision of these other services has not impaired our independence.

DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation of these consol

idated financial statements in

accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the prepar

ation and fair presentation of

consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

INTERIM REPORT 2021

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation LimitedAUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSOur responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revise

d) requires us to conclude whether

anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, are

not prepared in all material respects,

in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34. A review of consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)

is a limited assurance

engagement. We perform 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 Inter

national Standards on Auditing

and International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we might ide

ntify in an audit. Accordingly,

we do not express an audit opinion on these consolidated financial statements.

WHO WE REPORT TOThis report is made solely to the Company’s Shareholders, as a body. 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 permi

tted by law, we do not accept or

assume responsibility to anyone other than the Shareholders, as a body, for our review procedures, for this report, or for the

conclusion we have formed.
