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.


Overview of key results for the first half of the 2024 financial year

• 16% increase in operating revenue to $803.7 million, 16% increase in constant currency.

• 26% increase in Homecare operating revenue to $314.4 million, 25% increase in constant

currency.

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.

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.

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).
