Summary
Summary of the 10-K filed August 28, 2007. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD) reported its fiscal 2007 Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007.
Net revenues rose to $716.3 milliona from $607.0 million, an increase of $109.3 million or 18%, driven by higher unit sales of flow generators, masks and accessories, with favorable currency movements adding approximately $20.5 million. Net income fell to $66.3 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, from $88.2 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, in fiscal 2006. The decline reflects a $59.7 million voluntary product recall charge tied to approximately 300,000 early-production S8 flow generators, which reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.53 on an after-tax basis.
Excluding the recall, diluted earnings per share was $1.38b, an increase of 19% over the prior year, according to the filing. Gross margin fell to 54% from 62%, primarily because of the recall charge; excluding it, gross margin was 62%, consistent with the prior year. Operating expenses rose, with selling, general and administrative expenses up $37.1 million to $237.3 million and research and development up 35% to $50.1 million.
The company ended the year with cash and cash equivalents of $257.8 millionc, working capital of $466.4 million, and stockholders' equity of $931.2 million. Long-term debt less current maturities was $87.6 million, and the company had no amounts outstanding under its $75 million revolving loan. Operating cash flow was $91.1 million, down from $99.0 million, while capital expenditures were $77.6 million, including construction of a new corporate headquarters in San Diego, expected to be completed in March 2009.
The filing also notes that the company faces ongoing risks, including the remaining recall costs, which management expects to continue through fiscal 2008, along with an ongoing German tax audit and an Australian university's royalty claim pending in the Federal Court of Australia. Management stated that these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

03—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What caused the drop in net income in fiscal 2007?
The main cause was a $59.7 million voluntary product recall expense for approximately 300,000 early-production S8 flow generators, recognized as a charge to cost of sales. The filing states the after-tax impact of this expense was $41.8 million, or $0.53 per diluted share. Net income was $66.3 million, compared with $88.2 million in fiscal 2006.
How large is the remaining cost of the S8 product recall?
At June 30, 2007, the company reported a remaining recall liability of $45.1 million in accrued expenses, after cash payments of $16.3 million. The filing expects the recall to continue throughout fiscal 2008 and states that actual costs could differ from the estimate.

Growth was strong in both regions. Net revenue in North and Latin America rose 17% to $376.7 million, and revenue in markets outside the Americas rose 19% to $339.6 million.
