Fisher & Paykel Healthcare announces results for the first half of the 2023 financial year
Auckland, New Zealand, 29 November 2022 - Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
(NZX:FPH, ASX:FPH) today announced its results for the first half of the 2023 financial year.
For the six months ended 30 September 2022, total operating revenue was $690.6 million,
above the $670 million guided by the company in its August trading update.
While revenue was down 23% on the first half of the prior year (or 27% in constant currency),
this was a 21% increase on the comparable pre-pandemic period, being the first half of the
2020 financial year ($570.9 million). Net profit after tax for the first half was $95.9 million, a 57%
decline from the prior comparable period, or a 65% decline in constant currency.
Managing Director and CEO Lewis Gradon said, “Consistent with what we signalled in August,
first half revenue was down on the prior corresponding period as we lapped significant COVID-
19-driven demand. Compared to pre-pandemic levels, this represents solid growth.”
In the Hospital product group, which includes humidification products used in respiratory, acute
and surgical care, revenue for the first half was $438.7 million. This marks a decline of 35% on
the prior comparable period, or 37% in constant currency. This represents an increase of 24%
on the first half of the 2020 financial year. Of total Hospital product group revenue, 87% was
from the sale of consumables and 13% was from the sale of hardware.
“Customer stock levels of hospital consumables continued to reflect purchases of considerable
amounts during our prior half, in preparation for an Omicron hospitalisation wave which proved
less severe than originally anticipated,” said Mr Gradon.
“Through the first half, there are positive signs that our hospital customers are working through
their excess inventory holdings, and total group sales of our hospital consumables have
increased sequentially on a month-by-month basis since May. This trend has continued in the
second half to date.
“While we believe the number of hospitals which continue to be overstocked is declining,
ultimately, these stocking dynamics are short term, and the fundamentals of our sales strategy
remain the same. Our teams are committed to helping improve clinical practice and ensuring
the hardware our customers have purchased during the pandemic is used to benefit a broader
range of patients requiring respiratory support.”
In the Homecare product group, which includes products used in the treatment of obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA) and respiratory support in the home, revenue was $249.9 million, a 10%
increase over the prior comparable period, or 4% in constant currency. OSA masks and
accessories revenue increased 16% on the prior comparable period, or 10% in constant
currency.
“It has been pleasing to see a strong reception for our new Evora Full mask, which we began
selling into the United States in April following 510(k) approval,” said Mr Gradon. “Initial
feedback from clinicians and end users has been positive, and this provides added momentum
for our team working hard on a robust product pipeline.”
Gross margin was 59.8%, down from 63.1% in the prior period and below the company’s long-
term target of 65%. Although global freight rates are seeing prices soften, legs in and out of
New Zealand lag this trend, which continues to weigh on margin. The company has also been
impacted by manufacturing inefficiencies, as it carefully balances demand fluctuations while
managing manufacturing throughput and higher rates of sickness-related absenteeism in the
manufacturing workforce.
The company reached a number of infrastructure milestones over the half to support continued
growth. This includes the announcement in September that the company had entered into a
conditional agreement to purchase a 105-hectare site for an additional campus in Karaka,
Auckland. This acquisition is subject to Overseas Investment Office (OIO) approval, and the
company expects a response from the agency in the first half of the 2023 calendar year.
The company’s directors have approved an increased interim dividend of 17.5 cents per share
(H1 FY22: 17.0 cents per share). The interim dividend, carrying full New Zealand imputation
credit, will be paid on 21 December 2022 with a record date of 9 December 2022.
The company is also reactivating its dividend reinvestment plan, as noted in an additional news
release issued today, through which eligible shareholders can opt to invest all or part of their
cash dividends in additional shares with an applicable discount of 3%. Details of this plan are
available on the company website at www.fphcare.com/drp.
Looking ahead
“Our second half will be impacted by a number of factors, including:
• The rate of COVID-19 hospitalisations and the related intensity of respiratory support
required;
• The severity and duration of a Northern Hemisphere flu season;
• The magnitude of RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) hospitalisation surges currently
experienced in some regions; and
• The impact of ongoing hospital staffing challenges on the surgical procedure backlogs in
many countries.
“Given these current uncertainties, we are not providing full-year quantitative revenue or
earnings guidance at this time.
“However, we expect second half revenue for the 2023 financial year will be higher than in the
first half.
“In our Hospital product group, pre-COVID-19 seasonal patterns have typically resulted in
higher sales of hospital consumables in the second half compared to the first half. In the 2018
and 2019 financial years (being our most recent years that were unimpacted by COVID-19), our
hospital consumable sales were 19% higher in constant currency during the second half
compared to the first half. In addition, it is likely that a proportion of customers have worked
through Omicron-driven consumables stock during our first half.
“In our Homecare product group, we believe the recent launch of our new Evora Full face mask,
combined with improving global supply of CPAP hardware, will contribute to continued growth
for the remainder of the year.
“Assuming current, slightly lower freight costs and reduced manufacturing inefficiencies,
constant currency gross margin for the second half would improve from the first half by
approximately 200 basis points,” said Mr Gradon.
The company is now targeting constant currency operating expense growth of approximately
8% for the full year.
“We remain committed to sustainable, profitable growth,” said Mr Gradon. “Our confidence in
the future is unchanged, evidenced by the significant level of investment in new product
development, our global sales force and our infrastructure.”
Overview of key results for the first half of the 2023 financial year
• 57% decline in net profit after tax to $95.9 million, 65% decline in constant currency.
• 23% decline in operating revenue to $690.6 million, 27% decline in constant currency.
• 35% decline in Hospital operating revenue to $438.7 million, 37% decline in constant
currency.
• 23% decline in constant currency for new applications consumables (products used in
noninvasive ventilation, Optiflow nasal high flow and surgical applications) accounting
for 68% of Hospital consumables revenue.
• 10% growth in Homecare operating revenue, 4% growth in constant currency.
• Investment in R&D was 12% of revenue, or $84.2 million.
• 3% increase in interim dividend to 17.5 cps (H1 FY22: 17.0 cps).

Half year review
SCOTT ST JOHN
Board Chair
LEWIS GRADON
Managing Director and
Chief Executive Officer
The word ‘commitment’ has long
held significant meaning for us. One
of our five company values, it has
resonated strongly in recent months
as we reflect on the efforts required
through the pandemic period. It
resonates further still as we move
forward, describing the focus on our
long-term aims and the discipline
required to achieve them.
Getting our life-preserving product out to
patients was paramount during the peak of
the pandemic – this came first, and everything
else flowed from that. As we said back in May
at our full-year result, we did not let these
events divert us from our long-term course,
and that is worth repeating now. We remain
committed to sustainable, profitable growth,
and our confidence in the future is unchanged.
We are investing significantly in that future
and, as we do so, our people are focused on
identifying the right near-term actions that
strengthen us for the long term.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
As we said in our trading update in August,
revenue was down on the prior period but
elevated compared with pre-pandemic levels.
For the six months ended 30 September 2022,
total operating revenue was $690.6 million,
23 per cent below the same period last year,
or 27 per cent in constant currency. This
represents a 21 per cent increase on the first
half of the 2020 financial year ($570.9 million).
Net profit after tax was $95.9 million, 57 per
cent below the same period last year, or 65 per
cent in constant currency.
INTERIM REPORT 2023
6Fisher & Paykel Healthcare
Our Hospital product group comprised 64 per
cent of revenue at $438.7 million, representing
a 35 per cent decline on the prior year, or
37 per cent in constant currency. This marks
a 24 per cent increase compared to the
comparable pre-pandemic period, being the
first half of the 2020 year ($353.6 million).
Hospital consumables sales in constant
currency were down 19 per cent on the prior
year, but up 25 per cent on the first half of
2020. We believe customer stock levels have
been elevated during the first half, reflecting
hospital purchases of considerable amounts of
product in preparation for an Omicron wave
which, for the most part, proved less severe
than originally anticipated. Ultimately, we see
these stocking dynamics as short-term, and
the fundamentals of our sales strategy remain
the same. Our teams are committed to helping
improve clinical practice and ensuring the
hardware our customers have purchased is
used to benefit a broader range of patients
requiring respiratory support.
Our Homecare product group delivered
revenue of $249.9 million, representing growth
of 10 per cent on the first half last year or
4 per cent in constant currency. Pleasingly, our
OSA masks and accessories revenue increased
10 per cent in constant currency. The early
reception to our new Evora™ Full mask has
been very favourable. We received 510(k)
approval in the United States in April and have
since seen strong sales volumes and positive
user feedback. This adds to the momentum for
our OSA team who are working hard on a
robust product pipeline.
We have repeatedly signalled
the importance of long-term
infrastructure planning to help us
deliver on our sustainable, profitable
growth strategy and our aspirations
of doubling constant currency
revenue every five to six years. To take
advantage of the opportunities ahead
of us, we need more space, and we
took an important step in securing
this during the first half.
In September, we entered into a
conditional agreement, subject to
approval by the Overseas Investment
Office, to purchase a 105-hectare
site for an additional New Zealand
campus in Karaka, Auckland.
At more than double the size of our
current site, the Karaka campus would
afford us with significant room to
grow. Should we be successful with
our OIO application, development of
the new campus will occur gradually
over a 20 to 30-year period, with
a focus on earthworks and core
infrastructure over the next five years.
These plans reaffirm our confidence
in our long-term opportunities and
demonstrate our strong commitment
to R&D and manufacturing in
New Zealand.
UNLOCKING FUTURE GROWTH: Our proposed Karaka campus
INTERIM REPORT 2023
7Fisher & Paykel Healthcare
Gross margin for the half was 59.8 per cent,
down from 63.1 per cent in the prior period
and below our long-term target of 65 per cent.
Elevated freight rates remain a factor – major
global routes are seeing prices soften, though
legs in and out of New Zealand remain behind
this curve, with prices taking longer to
normalise. The half has also seen us manage
through manufacturing inefficiencies, as we
have been carefully balancing demand
fluctuations with manufacturing throughput
and higher rates of absenteeism in our
manufacturing workforce due to sickness.
STRATEGIC PROGRESS
In May, we introduced our latest anesthesia
products – Optiflow Switch™ and Optiflow
Trace™ – which provide even more compelling
reasons to use F&P’s Optiflow technology
during general anesthesia and procedural
sedation. Adding to our anesthesia salesforce
has been a clear priority in the months since
and will remain so going forward. Feedback
from anesthesiologists continues to be positive
and gives us confidence in both the benefit to
patients and the size of the market opportunity.
We are continuing with a controlled market
release of our new Airvo™ 3 nasal high flow
device in Australasia while seeking regulatory
clearances further afield. We believe the new
device is an attractive proposition, with a
closed loop system for targeted oxygen
delivery and an integrated battery to allow
for more portability through the hospital.
At our first half result last year, we signalled
plans to continue to invest in our infrastructure
to support growth. We have made significant
strides since, including our announcement in
September that we have entered into a
conditional agreement to purchase a
105-hectare site for an additional New Zealand
campus in Karaka, Auckland. This acquisition is
subject to Overseas Investment Office (OIO)
approval, and we expect a response from the
agency in the first half of 2023. If successful,
development of this new campus will occur
over a 20 to 30-year period.
Elsewhere, we saw the completion of our third
building in Tijuana, which adds an additional
50 per cent of space to our manufacturing
footprint in Mexico. We are also continuing
with earthworks for the fifth building on our
existing New Zealand campus in addition to
a multi-storey carpark.
We also indicated that we were investigating
options for an additional offshore
manufacturing location, and we can now
report that we have entered into a lease
agreement for a facility in Guangzhou, China.
Our presence in the city dates back almost
20 years, where we have a well-entrenched
sales operation serving the mainland. The
new facility is aligned with our distributed
manufacturing strategy, and our intent is to
manufacture a select range of products to
service local markets.
In May, we introduced our
latest anesthesia products
– Optiflow Switch™ and
Optiflow Trace™ – which
provide even more
compelling reasons to use
F&P’s Optiflow technology
during general anesthesia
and procedural sedation.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Earlier this year we articulated our intentions
in the form of a new Environmental and
Social Responsibility policy, making it clear
that our aim is to have a lasting positive
impact on society and the environment.
This statement of intent guides our newly
formed governance group, which is comprised
of subject matter experts from around the
business working together to identify
improvements and step-changes we can
make as a business globally. It is good to see
this group build momentum.
We have again achieved inclusion in the Dow
Jones Sustainability Indices for Asia Pacific and
Australia in addition to the FTSE4Good Index,
and were recently nominated as a finalist in the
Sustainable Business Leadership category as
part of the Deloitte Top 200 awards, which
celebrate outstanding performance among
New Zealand’s largest companies.
BOARD UPDATE
We were pleased to welcome Cather Simpson,
PhD, as a non-executive director in June,
bringing our board up to full strength in
advance of Geraldine McBride’s farewell at
the close of our Annual Shareholders’ Meeting
in August. Cather is a valuable addition,
bringing extensive experience commercialising
scientific research.
DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors has approved an interim
dividend of 17.5 cents per share for the six
months to 30 September 2022, marking an
increase of 3 per cent from the first half of the
prior financial year. The dividend will be paid
on 21 December 2022 with a record date of
9 December. This year, we are re-activating
our dividend reinvestment plan through which
eligible shareholders can opt to invest all or
part of their cash dividends in additional
shares, with an applicable 3 per cent discount.
Details of this plan are available on our website.
PROFIT SHARE
Our people remain our strength and have
once again responded admirably during a
challenging year. To recognise their efforts,
the Board has approved a discretionary
profit-sharing payment of $4 million for
employees who have worked for the company
for a qualifying period.
THANK YOU
Again, we want to recognise the ongoing
efforts of those right across the healthcare
sector. While it has been pleasing to see a
normalisation of sorts after the peak pandemic
period, we acknowledge conditions remain
challenging. With travel restrictions relaxing,
our global teams have relished re-connecting
with our customers, suppliers and clinical
partners at events and healthcare facilities
throughout the world. This has reinforced how
our business is a relational one, and we look
forward to more of this.
We also wish to acknowledge the unique
challenges over the last six months for our
people as a combination of seasonal illnesses
and COVID-19 have meant extended periods of
home isolation and continued disruption to
work environments for many. Thanks to all
of you for your work in oftentimes trying
circumstances. And a final word of thanks to
our shareholders: your continued support
makes all this possible.

elevated customer inventory levels during this period. Homecare revenue grew 4%
in constant currency.
Gross margin
Gross margin at 59.8% decreased by 533 basis points in constant currency from the
same period last year. Continued elevated freight costs and air freight utilisation this
period impacted constant currency gross margin by approximately 290 basis points
compared to pre-COVID-19 rates. Manufacturing inefficiencies were also experienced
this year as we balance demand fluctuations with manufacturing throughput.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased 8% (3% in constant currency) to $286.5 million,
reflecting ongoing expenditure to support global sales growth and development
of our product pipeline.
R&D spend of $84.2 million grew 11% reflecting underlying growth and the timing
of R&D and clinical projects. Over the long term we plan for R&D spend to grow in
line with constant currency revenue growth.
Financing expenses
The net financing expense increase reflects the exchange losses on the revaluation of
foreign currency interest bearing liabilities. Excluding the impact of foreign currency
revaluations, net financing expense was in line with the prior period.
Ta x
Our effective tax rate for the period was 16.1%, down from 26.3% in the prior period
reflecting foreign currency translation gains that are non-taxable. The R&D tax credit
this period of $7.6 million (Sep 2021: $7.4 million) represents the estimated eligible R&D
expenditure incurred during the period. Excluding the benefit of the R&D tax credit the
effective tax rate was 22.7% (Sep 2021: 28.8%).

FOREIGN CURRENCY IMPACTS
The Group is exposed to movements in foreign exchange rates, with approximately 99%
of operating revenue generated in currencies other than NZD as shown below.
US dollars 45%
Euros 20%
Australian dollars 6%
Japanese yen 6%
British pounds 3%
Canadian dollars 3%
Korean won 3%
Other currencies 9%
Chinese yuan 4%
New Zealand dollars 1%
Approximately 60% of COGS and over 50% of operating expenses are in currencies other
than NZD.
Net profit after tax was increased by $6.1 million compared to the prior period due to the
impact of foreign currency. During the period since 31 March 2022, the NZD weakened
significantly against major currencies.
The effect of balance sheet translations for the period resulted in an increase in operating
revenue of $18.6 million (Sep 2021: $2.5 million increase) and an increase in profit after tax
of $0.8 million (Sep 2021: $2.4 million increase). The hedging programme contributed a
pre-tax gain of $0.5 million (Sep 2021: $21.1 million gain).
The average daily spot rate and the average conversion exchange rate (i.e. the accounting
rate, incorporating the benefit of forward exchange contracts in respect of the relevant
financial year) of the main foreign currency exposures for the reported periods are set out

Operating cash flows
Cash flows from operations for the period decreased to $1.9 million (Sep 2021:
$127.5 million). Working capital continued to be impacted by increases in raw materials
and finished goods inventories. We have been working to balance demand fluctuations
with manufacturing throughput and continuing supply chain disruption.
Capital expenditure
During the period, $124.8 million was spent on capital expenditure (excluding leased
assets), including earthworks and constructions costs across the East Tamaki and Tijuana
campuses. Spending also includes a $27.5 million deposit to acquire land for a second
New Zealand campus. This purchase is contingent on receiving Overseas Investment
Office (OIO) consent on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company and is
recorded in other receivables on the balance sheet. We continue to invest in production
tooling and equipment additions.
Dividends
Dividends paid of $129.9 million were 2% higher than the prior period.

Trade receivables increase to 30 September 2022 reflects balance sheet translation of
foreign currency receivable balances. Our debtor days were within the normal range at
42 days (March 2022: 41 days). Inventories balances have increased both in raw materials
and finished goods. Trade and other payables reduction includes timing associated with
key capital projects and payment of suppliers.
Property, plant and equipment increased by $87.0 million in the period. Additions
of $105.2 million and foreign currency translations were offset by $39.2 million of
depreciation. Intangible assets increased by $1.5 million, primarily due to patent
acquisition costs. Included in intangible assets is ERP system capital spending with
our global SAP rollout continuing over the next two to three years.
Other net assets/liabilities movements included a change in derivative financial
instruments from a net asset of $140.7 million at 31 March 2022 to a net liability of
$110.8 million at 30 September 2022. This is due to the currency volatility during the
period, with the corresponding offset in the cash flow hedge reserve. All currency
derivatives continued to be effective hedges. Net tax assets increased by $127.1 million
during the period, primarily reflecting the change in the net derivative financial
instruments balances.

NOTES – CONSTANT CURRENCY
Constant currency analysis is non–Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP)
financial information, that is not prepared in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents
to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS). Constant currency information
has been provided to assist users of financial information to better understand and assess
the Group’s financial performance without the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations,
including hedging results.
Constant currency financial information is prepared each month to enable the Board
and management to monitor and assess the Group’s underlying comparative financial
performance without any distortion from changes in foreign exchange rates. Constant
currency information is prepared on a consistent basis for reported periods restated into
NZD based on “constant” exchange rates, typically the budgeted exchange rates for the
current year. This information excludes the impact of movements in foreign exchange
rates, hedging results and balance sheet translations.
The Group’s constant currency framework can be found on the company’s website
at www.fphcare.com/ccf. PwC perform assurance procedures over the constant
currency information.

have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice (NZ GAAP). They comply with New Zealand Equivalent to International
Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34) and International
Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34). The Company and Group
are designated as profit-oriented entities for financial reporting purposes.

2. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS AND EVENTS FOR THE CURRENT PERIOD
The following significant transactions and events affected the financial performance and
financial position of the Group for the six month period ended 30 September 2022:
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared the outbreak of COVID-19
as a pandemic. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Company’s focus has been on
manufacturing and supplying products that are directly involved in treating patients with
COVID-19. The Company has experienced significant volatility in demand for its products
over the last few years.
Management have assessed the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of the balance sheet.
Specifically, the carrying value of receivables, inventory and warranty exposure were
considered, with provisioning reflecting management’s best estimate of the impact based
on information available at the time of preparing these financial statements. There has
been no material impact on the balance sheet.
Foreign currency
As a result of currency volatility during this period, the liability relating to the Group’s
portfolio of derivatives has increased, with the corresponding offset in the cash flow
hedge reserve.
Capital expenditure
During the period, a member of the Group, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Properties Limited
(FPH Properties), entered into a conditional agreement to purchase 105 hectares of land
in Karaka for a second New Zealand campus for $275 million. The purchase is conditional
on Overseas Investment Office (OIO) consent being granted on terms and conditions that
are satisfactory to FPH Properties. A deposit of $27.5 million was paid in September 2022
and recognised in other receivables. Subject to OIO consent being granted on terms and
conditions that are satisfactory to FPH Properties, $189.5 million is expected to be paid in
the first half of FY24. An additional $43 million and $15 million will be payable in FY26 and
FY27 respectively. Additional borrowings will be used to fund the purchase.
In June 2022, a building construction contract was signed for a car park building on our
East Tamaki, New Zealand campus. Capital commitments at 30 September 2022 include
$63.9 million related to this project. To date, spending on this project totals $9.4 million.
The car park is expected to be operational in 2024.
Earthworks continue for the construction of a fifth building on our East Tamaki site.
To date, spending on this project totals $17.3 million.
Share capital
During the six months ended 30 September 2022, the Group issued 257,786 shares
under employee equity plans.
Funding
The Company had total available committed debt funding of $260 million as at
30 September 2022, of which approximately $157 million was undrawn. As at
30 September 2022, the weighted average maturity of committed borrowing facilities
was 1.6 years.

5. DERIVATIVE 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. Derivative
financial instruments 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the shareholders of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OUR CONCLUSION
We 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 2022, and 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 six months period
ended on that date, and other explanatory information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group do
not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2022, and its financial performance and cash flows for the
six months period then ended on that date, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand
Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34).
BASIS FOR CONCLUSION
We 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 consolidated financial statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to the audit of the 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 executive remuneration benchmarking and providing market survey data, regulatory
tax compliance procedures in Mexico, and other assurance services in relation to constant currency disclosures. The provision of these other services
has not impaired our independence.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS’ FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated 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 preparation
and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
INTERIM REPORT 2023
22Fisher & Paykel Healthcare
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE REVIEW OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) 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 International
Standards on Auditing and International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we might
identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these consolidated financial statements.
WHO WE REPORT TO
This report is made solely to the Company’s Shareholders, as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state 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, as a body, for our review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed.
The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report is Keren Blakey.
