Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Net revenue increased 8% year-over-year (YoY) for Q3 and 10% YoY for the nine-month period. On a constant currency basis, growth was 9% and 10%, respectively. Growth was driven by increased demand and unit sales in both devices and masks across all regions.
• Margin Expansion: Gross margin improved to 59.3% in Q3 (from 57.9% prior year) due to manufacturing/logistics efficiencies, component cost improvements, and favorable product mix. This was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency movements.
• Profitability: Net income rose 21% in Q3 and 40% YTD. The effective tax rate decreased to 12.6% in Q3 (from 20.0% prior year) due to IRS interest/penalty refunds and windfall tax benefits from share-based awards.
• Restructuring: No restructuring expenses were recorded in the current period, compared to $64.2 million in the prior year's nine-month period.
• Debt Reduction: Interest expense decreased significantly due to lower debt levels following repayments on the revolving credit facility. Total debt outstanding was $675.0 million as of March 31, 2025.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Guidance: The filing does not contain specific numerical forward-looking guidance for the full fiscal year 2025. Management expects cash from operations to fluctuate based on working capital and capital deployment.
• Regulatory Risks: Significant uncertainty exists regarding U.S. healthcare regulatory changes, including potential impacts from the new presidential administration's "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) and delays in FDA oversight activities.
• Legal Proceedings:
  • NYU Patent Litigation: NYU appealed a PTAB decision invalidating its patents; resolution is not expected before June 2025.
  • Cleveland Medical Litigation: Cases regarding connected devices are stayed pending PTAB decisions expected by May 2025.
• Market Risks: Exposure to foreign currency fluctuations (AUD, SGD, EUR) and potential tariffs on imports from China, Canada, and Mexico.
• Unusual Items: The prior year included $14.3 million in non-recurring field safety notification expenses (masks with magnets and Astral devices) which are absent in the current period, contributing to margin improvement.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Constant Currency Impact: Verify the specific currency headwinds mentioned ($12.9M negative impact in Q3) to understand organic growth rates.
• Tax Rate Volatility: Confirm the sustainability of the 12.6% effective tax rate, which was driven by one-time IRS refunds and tax credits.
• Regulatory Environment: Monitor developments regarding the "DOGE" initiative and FDA delays for potential impacts on reimbursement and product approvals.
• Share Repurchases: Note that $200 million was spent on buybacks YTD, with 11.2 million shares remaining under the current program.
• Legal Outcomes: Track the status of the NYU and Cleveland Medical patent cases, as adverse outcomes could impact future revenue streams.
