- Segment Performance:
- Sleep and Breathing Health: Revenue up 11% to $1.068 billion.
- Residential Care Software: Revenue up 13% to $156.8 million, driven by growth in HME and MEDIFOX DAN verticals.
- Interest Expense: Net interest expense decreased significantly to $1.7 million from $15.0 million due to lower debt levels following repayments on the revolving credit facility.

- Capital Allocation: The company repurchased $50.0 million of treasury stock during the quarter. A quarterly dividend of $0.53 per share was declared, payable in December 2024.
- Risks & Contingencies:
- Legal Proceedings: Ongoing patent litigation with New York University (NYU) regarding AutoSet features; PTAB invalidated NYU patents, but NYU has appealed. Litigation with Cleveland Medical Devices regarding connected devices remains open with a PTAB decision expected in May 2025.
- Field Safety: No Astral field safety notification expenses were incurred in Q1 2025, compared to $7.9 million in the prior year.
- Foreign Currency: Significant exposure to EUR, AUD, and SGD. The company utilizes cross-currency swaps and forward contracts to hedge risks.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Revenue Quality: Verify the sustainability of the 11% revenue growth and the specific contribution of the new AirSense 11 device.
- Margin Sustainability: Assess whether the 58.6% gross margin is sustainable given potential inflationary pressures on component costs.
- Legal Exposure: Monitor the status of the NYU patent appeal and the Cleveland Medical Devices PTAB review for potential financial impact.
- Debt Covenants: Confirm continued compliance with leverage ratios under the Revolving Credit Agreement and Senior Notes.
- Working Capital: Review the increase in inventory ($918 million vs $822 million prior year) to ensure it aligns with sales growth and does not indicate obsolescence risks.
