Fisher & Paykel Healthcare provides guidance for first half of FY24

Auckland, New Zealand, 29 August 2023 – Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited today
provided earnings guidance for the first half of the 2024 financial year, which ends 30 September
2023.

At 31 July exchange rates*, and assuming a continuation of trading conditions in the first four
months, the company expects operating revenue for the first half to be approximately $790 million,
and net profit after tax within the range of approximately $95 million to $105 million.

This would represent approximately 14% growth in revenue on the first half of the previous financial
year. Trading to date indicates no material change to the full year revenue guidance of
approximately $1.70 billion, which the company provided in May.

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Lewis Gradon said, “For the first four months of the
2024 financial year, revenue from OSA masks was stronger, and revenue from hospital hardware
was marginally lower, than assumed. Constant currency group revenue and operating expense
results to date remain consistent with the full year guidance we provided in May, with gross margin
improvement approaching 200 basis points in constant currency for the full year.

“As we said in May, this year we have returned to executing on continuous improvement initiatives
across the business. During the pandemic we had a responsibility to get as much product as
possible into the hands of our customers. Now, we have moved away from that supply-at-all-costs
mentality, and we are once again focused on operational efficiency. We expect to see positive
financial impacts building through the year,” continued Mr Gradon.

Milestones and achievements

Over the past 12 months, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare has reached some significant milestones
supporting its long-term growth strategy. The company acquired land in Karaka for a second New
Zealand campus, opened a third building in Tijuana, Mexico, and began fitting out a new
manufacturing facility in China.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare increased the size of its sales force, brought forward future research
and development projects, and launched its Evora Full face mask for obstructive sleep apnea. It
recently received FDA clearance for the F&P 950 humidification system and Airvo 3 high flow
therapy device, expanding the market for those products into the United States.

“We have some great long-term opportunities ahead of us in hospital and home respiratory
therapies, surgical and anesthesia applications, and treatments for obstructive sleep apnea. In
recent years our products have been used to treat approximately 20 million patients per year, and
the market for our products is more than 10 times that. We are confident that we can facilitate
changes in clinical practice and reach those underpenetrated markets,” concluded Mr Gradon.
