Fisher & Paykel Healthcare announces results for the first half of the 2024 financial year
Auckland, New Zealand, 29 November 2023 - Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
(NZX:FPH, ASX:FPH) today announced its results for the first half of the 2024 financial year.
For the six months ended 30 September 2023, total operating revenue was $803.7 million, a 16%
increase from the prior corresponding period in both reported and constant currency. Net profit after
tax for the first half was $107.3 million, a 12% increase from the same period in the previous
financial year, or a 22% increase in constant currency.
“Our first half result indicates a continuation of stable ordering patterns in our Hospital business and
a robust performance for Homecare,” said Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Lewis
Gradon.
In the Hospital product group, which includes humidification products used in respiratory, acute and
surgical care, revenue for the first half was $487.5 million. This marks an increase of 11% on the
prior comparable period, and 11% in constant currency. Hospital new applications consumables
grew 19% in constant currency.
"Apparent growth rates this financial year will be impacted by COVID-19 effects throughout last
year," said Mr Gradon. "We continued to see strong demand for hospital consumables across the
product portfolio in the first half, and hardware demand was solid. We remain pleased with the
progress we are making on changing clinical practice."
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 $314.4 million, a 26% increase over
the prior comparable period, or 25% in constant currency. OSA masks and accessories revenue
increased 28% in constant currency.
“Evora Full has been available in the United States for more than a year, and it continues to see
impressive demand and positive customer feedback,” said Mr Gradon. “We are set to build on this
momentum next year as our revolutionary new F&P Solo mask is rolled out beyond New Zealand
and Australia.”
Gross margin was 60.5%, up 65 basis points, or 192 basis points in constant currency, compared to
the first half of the 2023 financial year.
“Headwinds such as freight rates and manufacturing inefficiencies continue to ease, while
inflationary raw material and manufacturing costs remain key areas of focus for our teams,” said Mr
Gradon. “We remain confident in our ability to return to our long-term target of 65% within three to
four years.”
The company’s directors have approved an interim dividend of 18.0 cents per ordinary share, up
from 17.5 cents per share in the prior corresponding period. The interim dividend, carrying full New
Zealand imputation credit, will be paid on 18 December 2023 with a record date of 6 December
2023. The company’s dividend reinvestment plan remains available to eligible shareholders with a
3% discount applying to this interim dividend.
Looking ahead
“At current exchange rates*, we expect operating revenue for the 2024 financial year to be
approximately $1.7 billion and net profit after tax to be in the range of approximately $250 million to
$260 million.
“Historically, sales of our hospital consumables are typically higher in the second half, reflecting
seasonal patterns of hospitals,” said Mr Gradon. “We are currently expecting that our revenue
guidance approximation incorporates the range of pre-COVID historical seasonality in hospital
consumables.”
*At 31 October 2023 exchange rates of NZD:USD 0.58, NZD:EUR 0.55, NZD:MXN 10.55.

HALF YEAR REVIEW
SCOTT ST JOHN
Board Chair
LEWIS GRADON
Managing Director and
Chief Executive Officer
A number of factors are
converging to move us along
our sustainable, profitable
growth path.
Geographic expansion, a broad
product pipeline, purposeful
investment in R&D and
infrastructure, growth in our
sales teams, and an increasing
body of clinical evidence –
these are firm foundations
for future growth.
We are balancing this focus on the future
with our near-term aims. As market conditions
continue to stabilise, we have shifted from
a supply-at-all costs mentality to our normal
behaviours. This has seen us renew our focus
on continuous improvement during the half.
We acknowledge the efforts of our people
and our customers, suppliers and clinical
partners throughout this period.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Total operating revenue was $803.7 million
for the six months ended 30 September 2023,
16 per cent above the same period last year,
and 16 per cent in constant currency. Net profit
after tax was $107.3 million, 12 per cent above
the same period last year, or 22 per cent in
constant currency.
Hospital product group revenue was
$487.5 million, an 11 per cent increase
on the first half of last year and 11 per cent
in constant currency. We continued to see
strong demand for hospital consumables
across the product portfolio, and hardware
demand was solid.
FOUNDATIONS FOR
FUTURE GROWTH
INTERIM REPORT 2024
8Fisher & Paykel Healthcare
Homecare product group revenue was
$314.4 million, representing growth of
26 per cent on the first half of last year,
and 25 per cent in constant currency. OSA
masks and accessories revenue increased
28 per cent in constant currency as the
Evora™ Full continued to experience
impressive demand. We are set to build
on this momentum with our revolutionary
new F&P Solo™ mask.
Gross margin for the half was 60.5 per cent,
a 192 basis-point increase from the prior
corresponding period in constant currency.
Headwinds such as freight rates and
manufacturing inefficiencies continue to
ease, while inflationary raw material and
manufacturing costs remain a factor for
our teams to work through. We expect that
reverting to our normal focus on operational
efficiencies will help us return to our long-term
gross margin target of 65 per cent within the
next three to four years.
We have a demonstrable history of margin
improvements year-on-year. Continuous
improvement plays an important role in this,
and we have initiated more than 5,000 projects
globally over the past year. Many seem small
on the surface, but we expect that over time
they will represent meaningful gains.
STRATEGIC PROGRESS
We have reached several important milestones
over the last six months. With respect to
product, we received regulatory clearance
from the United States FDA in June for our
950 humidification system. This follows the
approval for the Airvo™ 3 earlier in the year –
the latter is currently available in the US and
the 950 will be available in the new year.
On the Homecare side, we have commenced
sales of our F&P Solo™ mask in New Zealand
and Australia, with more markets to follow in
due course. We believe our AutoFit™ technology
represents a significant step forward in mask
innovation, allowing patients to set themselves
up without assistance and easily finetune the
fit with a single touch.
We continue to invest in expanding our
global sales team, most notably in anesthesia.
Our patent-protected Optiflow Switch™ and
Trace™ products offer compelling patient and
clinical benefits and we have a clear aspiration
to build the anesthesia business into a revenue
growth driver.
We were pleased to receive approval from the
New Zealand Overseas Investment Office (OIO)
in April to move forward with our land purchase
in Karaka, Auckland for a second New Zealand
campus. We formally opened our third building
in Tijuana, Mexico and we are nearing completion
of our manufacturing facility in Guangzhou,
China as our team secures the necessary
regulatory approvals.
Our patent-protected
Optiflow Switch™ and
Trace™ products offer
compelling patient and
clinical benefits and we
have a clear aspiration
to build the anesthesia
business into a revenue
growth driver.

BOARD UPDATE
We welcomed Graham McLean onto the board
last month as an independent director. Graham
joins us following 16 years as a senior leader at
Stryker, where he was most recently president
of the company’s Asia Pacific operations based
in Hong Kong and Singapore. Now residing in
Australia, Graham is a director of CleanSpace
Holdings and Universal Biosensors, two
ASX-listed healthcare companies. We believe his
wealth of global medical device experience will
be beneficial to your board.
Graham’s appointment comes as Donal O’Dwyer
prepares to depart the board after 11 years
of service at the end of the calendar year.
We speak on behalf of the wider board
when we thank Donal for his enormous
contribution to Fisher & Paykel Healthcare
across multiple areas.
DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors has approved an interim
dividend of 18.0 cents per share for the six
months to 30 September 2023, an increase of
3 per cent from the first half of the prior year.
This will be paid on 18 December 2023 with
a record date of 6 December 2023. We
reactivated our dividend reinvestment plan
last year and this remains available to eligible
shareholders with a 3 per cent discount
applying to this interim dividend.
Similar to our view on
continuous improvement,
there is no finish line
when it comes to our
environmental and social
responsibility journey.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PROGRESS
Similar to our view on continuous improvement,
there is no finish line when it comes to our
environmental and social responsibility journey.
We are making steady progress in areas such
as sustainable procurement, modern slavery
prevention and carbon reduction. There will
be much more detail on these efforts provided
at our full-year result, which will also include
disclosure on our climate resilience in line with
the External Reporting Board’s new Aotearoa
Climate Standards.
PROFIT SHARE
We have a history of providing a profit share
at our half and full year results to ensure our
people share in the success and profitability
of F&P. To that end, the board has approved
a profit-sharing payment of $4 million for
employees who have worked for the company
for a qualifying period.
THANK YOU
Our thanks go to the people of Fisher & Paykel
Healthcare for your contribution to this first
half result. And we remain grateful to our
shareholders, customers, suppliers and clinical
partners – your backing and belief is vital to
what we do.

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 impact from changes
in foreign exchange rates. See further details on page 15.
Total profit after tax for the period was $107.3 million, a 12% increase from the same period
last year, or 22% in constant currency.
Revenue
Operating revenue was $803.7 million, a 16% increase from the prior comparable period
(PCP) or 16% in constant currency. Hospital revenue grew 11% in constant currency.
Hospital consumables continued to see strong demand across the product portfolio,
and hardware demand was solid. Homecare revenue grew 25% in constant currency
with strong growth in masks and accessories of 28%.
Gross margin
Gross margin at 60.5% improved by 192 basis points in constant currency from the
same period last year and improved by 72 basis points in constant currency from the
second half of last year. Headwinds such as freight rates and manufacturing inefficiencies
continue to ease, while inflationary raw material and manufacturing costs remain key
areas of focus.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased 16% (16% in constant currency) to $333.5 million, reflecting
our investment in R&D and sales people during the 2023 financial year. This investment
supports our global sales growth and development of our product pipeline.
We continue to plan for R&D spend to grow in line with constant currency revenue growth
over the long-term.
Financing expenses
During the period, total borrowings have increased to fund the purchase of the Karaka site,
with interest expenses increasing to $8.7 million (Sep 2022: $1.2 million). The net financing
expense of $12.0 million remains largely unchanged from the prior period, with lower
exchange losses on foreign currency interest-bearing liabilities in the current period
of $4.7 million (Sep 2022: $12.7 million) offsetting the increased interest costs.
Ta x
Our effective tax rate for the period was 23.7%, up from 16.1% as the non-taxable foreign
currency translations were significantly lower than in the prior period. The R&D tax credit
this period of $8.8 million (Sep 2022: $7.6 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 29.9% (Sep 2022: 22.7%).

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 49%
Euros 19%
Mexican pesos 2%
New Zealand dollars 1%
Other 29%
Over 60% of COGS and 50% of operating expenses are in currencies other than NZD.
Net profit after tax was unfavourably impacted by $4.8 million compared to the prior
period due to foreign currency.
The effect of balance sheet translations for the period resulted in an increase in operating
revenue of $3.9 million (Sep 2022: $18.6 million increase) and a decrease in net profit after
tax of $1.6 million (Sep 2022: $0.8 million increase). The hedging programme contributed
a pre-tax loss of $2.8 million (Sep 2022: $0.5 million gain).
The average daily spot rate and the average conversion exchange rate (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

Free cash flows include lease liability repayments following the adoption of NZ IFRS 16.
Operating cash flows
Cash flows from operations for the period increased to $156.5 million (Sep 2022: $1.9 million).
Operating cash flows were impacted by an increase in net profit before tax, a reduction in
net working capital movements and a benefit from prepaid tax during the 2023 financial
year, resulting in less tax paid during the period.
Capital expenditure
During the period, $275.5 million was spent on capital expenditure (excluding leased
assets), including $189.5 million relating to the purchase of 105 hectares of land in Karaka
for a second New Zealand campus. Spending also included progressing our East Tāmaki
campus development including earthworks for our fifth building. We continue to invest
in production tooling and equipment additions.
Dividends
Dividends paid of $81.7 million were 37% lower than the prior period due to the
reintroduction of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) commencing with the interim
dividend for the 2023 financial year, paid in December 2022. Under the DRP, $51.6 million
of dividends were reinvested as new shares this period related to the 2023 final dividend
declared, reducing the cash paid by the same amount.

Property, plant and equipment includes lease assets recognised.
Trade receivables have increased to 30 September 2023 reflecting revenue growth.
Our debtor days were within the normal range at 41 days (Mar 2023: 40 days).
Inventories balances have decreased with continuing focus on balancing demand
fluctuations approaching the northern hemisphere winter with manufacturing
throughput. Inventories have decreased by $38.3 million since September 2022.
Trade and other payables reduction includes timing associated with key capital
infrastructure projects and payment of suppliers.
Property, plant and equipment (excluding leased assets) increased by $255.0 million
in the period. Additions of $282.0 million, including the Karaka land acquisition were
offset by $32.3 million of depreciation. Intangible assets decreased by $0.1 million,
with amortisation tracking slightly above total expenditure. Included in intangible
assets is ERP system capital spending with our global SAP rollout continuing over
the next one to two years.
Other net assets/liabilities movements included a reduction in derivative financial
instruments from net assets of $77.1 million at 31 March 2023 to $33.1 million at
30 September 2023. This is primarily due to the change in exchange rates at
30 September 2023 compared to 31 March 2023, with the corresponding offset
in the cash flow hedge reserve. All currency derivatives continued to be effective
hedges. Non-current other receivables decreased due to the deposit for the second
New Zealand campus being reclassified to property, plant and equipment on
receipt of Overseas Investment Office (OIO) approval this period.

Excluding lease liabilities
During the period, the Group borrowed $210.0 million from available facilities primarily
to fund the payment of $189.5 million for the purchase of the land in Karaka.
As at 30 September 2023, the average maturity of loans and borrowings of $237.3 million
was 2.7 years. The currency split for loans and borrowings was 70% NZD; 28% USD;
1% Australian dollars; and 1% Canadian dollars. Within the next 12 months, one facility
for $60.0 million will expire and upon expiry will not be renewed.
Cash and cash equivalents were $70.5 million at 30 September 2023. This balance,
as well as operating cash generated in the second half of the 2024 financial year and
additional borrowings, will fund the payment of the interim dividend, and ongoing
capital expenditure including building projects in East Tāmaki.
Gearing

At 30 September 2023 the Group had gearing of 9.1%. Gearing was outside the
target range due to funding for the Karaka land acquisition.

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 performs assurance procedures over the constant
currency information.

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 2023, 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 notes to the consolidated financial statements,
which include significant accounting policies 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 2023, 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 providing market survey data for executive remuneration, 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.
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 Indumin Senaratne (Indy Sena).
