Highlights: Cash Rich with Room to Grow

Fundamentals and valuation are indicative of a HOLD: Our recommendation is driven

by the company’s leading position in the Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Respiratory device market, as well as a strong balance sheet. Our 12-month price target of $49.56 provides a 4.0% upside gain, inclusive of dividends. The target price is based on an EPS estimate of $2.36 (Next 4 Qtrs) and a P/E multiple of 21x.

Cash rich with room to grow: RMD has achieved 72 straight quarters of growth and has

grown its cash balance to $958.28M. Furthermore, Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) remains 85% undiagnosed, giving RMD considerable room to grow in the future. We expect sales to grow by 11.8% and 10.6% in 2013 and 2014 respectfully. Growth is mainly driven by awareness created through the Company’s marketing and educational efforts coupled with the advent of Home Sleep Testing (HST).

ResMed will continue to benefit from Home Sleep Testing (HST): The advent of HST

has helped grow awareness and diagnosis of OSA, with RMD in a unique position to benefit. HST is diagnosed through an APAP machine which has fueled a favorable product mix shift for RMD, supporting a higher gross margin and revenue growth.

Leader in Innovation: The Company’s strategy is to create the most innovative fully-

integrated product line. RMD is able to achieve this through heavily investing in R&D and reaching end users by driving awareness of Sleep Disorder Breathing (SDB). RMD has the world’s largest product portfolios to diagnose and treat OSA, with over 1,300 patents amassed.

Business Description

ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD) established in March 1994, develops, manufactures, and distributes medical equipment intended to diagnose, treat, and manage respiratory disorders. It is a global leader in providing non-invasive treatment against obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a common form of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Product Portfolio

RMD possesses one of the world’s largest product portfolios to diagnose and treat OSA, with over 1,300 patents amassed. These products include diagnostic devices, airflow generators, masks, headgear, and support accessories (Appendix 18). RMD produces Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), Variable Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), and AutoSet (APAP) airflow generator systems to titrate and treat SDB. From the airflow generator, positive airflow is sent to the patient through either a mask or nasal pillow, opening the airway to the lungs. As a result of its commitment to product development, RMD aims to launch new flow generator platforms every five years and new masks every 18-24 months. Introduced in 2010, the S9 is the latest successful flow generator platform. RMD’s high-end devices within the S9 platform, as well as the newly introduced Stellar 100 and Stellar 150 ventilators, have driven recent sales growth. RMD also offers home sleep testing (HST) devices and patient data management systems to better diagnose and manage sleep disorders. The recent Q2 FY 2013 announcements show that airflow generators accounted for 53.8% of total sales, and masks and accessories accounted for 46.2%.

Constant Innovation

Much of RMD’s continued success and competitive differentiation in the SDB industry lies in its commitment to improving product offerings and finding new product applications. It holds clinical trials for new products in the United States, Australia, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, China and Switzerland. The company invested $109.7 million, $92.0 million and $75.2 million in fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These amounts represent 7-8% of net revenues. RMD is currently in efforts to apply its technology to combat common complications such as stroke, hypertension, and congestive heart failure (CHF). Getting to the Patients

RMD’s main end users are individuals at home, but they have recently begun reaching out to hospitals, dental offices, and trucking companies. It utilizes a direct sales force, network of distributors, and independent manufacturers’ representatives to market its products to home healthcare dealers, sleep clinics, and third-party payers, in over 70 countries worldwide. Healthcare professionals heavily influence which type of diagnosis and industry brand the patient pursues. Therefore, the entrance into each national market is based upon customer preferences, physician referral, SDB awareness, and local reimbursement policies. Future Intentions

Roughly 55% of RMD’s manufacturing is located in Singapore, with lesser production operations in Australia, Malaysia, California, and South Carolina. The company is expected to continue incrementally transferring more manufacturing to Singapore and Malaysia, expecting to reach up to 75%. The tax benefits and generous corporate relocation concessions provided by those governments are perceived to overcome the lesser utilization of the large Australia plant. As a result, RMD’s effective tax rate has decreased to 27.06%, 25.60%, and 23.23% in fiscal years 2010, 2011, and 2012, and currently sits at 20.8% from Q2 2013 figures. RMD has an intense interest in penetrating emerging and underdeveloped markets, such as China, India, South America, and the Middle East. However, pursuance into new markets is contingent upon the local level of prevalence and reimbursement policies. The company is very optimistic about its future in the Asia-Pacific region, namely China and India, partly due to the rapidly growing middle class in these countries.

Industry Overview and Competitive Positioning The Home Healthcare Equipment industry, specifically relating to OSA and other respiratory devices is maturing and highly competitive. The market is dominated mainly by two players, RMD and Philips Respironics, with a few smaller players competing to gain market share. The primary market is middle-aged adults, especially those suffering from obesity, hyper-tension, diabetes, and other comorbidities. It is estimated that 20% of the adult population suffers from mild to severe OSA, with 85% being undiagnosed

i. The worldwide growth of this market is estimated to be 6%-

8%. Notably, the industry is going through a huge shift to Home Sleep Testing, which will help bring down the percentage of undiagnosed adults as well as shift the demand to higher quality products. The Advent of Home Sleep Testing

In the past OSA was diagnosed in sleep clinics through a polysomnogram (PSG). This would cost around $1,000-$2,000 and require the patient to sleep overnight in a lab. Because of the cost and inconvenience to the patient the no show rate for patients that are diagnosed with OSA is estimated to be around 30%. Currently the industry is going through a paradigm shift to HST. HST is the diagnosis OSA through an APAP machine at the patient’s home. In addition to allowing the patient to be diagnosed in the comfort of their home, the cost of a HST is around a third of the price of a PSG, averaging around $400

ii. Since the inception of HST, 70% of providers have implemented

pre-approval for patients to get a PSG test, and this number is expected to rise to 75% by the end of 2013. In 2012 HST grew to 25% of total sleep tests conducted, and is estimated grow to over 50% by the end of 2013. The benefits that the industry has and will continue to see from this paradigm shift are considerable. These benefits include: Reducing the “no show” rate, driving awareness and acceptance of the prevalence of OSA, and increasing the demand for higher margin APAP machines over CPAP machines. Competitive Bidding

As a healthcare company RMD and its competitors are required to go through a competitive bidding process periodically. Round two of competitive bidding is expected to take place in July of 2013

iii.

Though no material price declines were seen after round one, round two could have a significant impact on prices given that it is applied 91 Metropolitan areas, whereas round one impacted only 9. RMD believes round two will not significantly impact their prices and has a strategy in place to circumvent the changes. Regardless of competitive bidding the industry does continue to see an annual 5% price decline.

Obamacare

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, signed into law in 2010 has created notable change to the healthcare industry. Under the Affordable Care Act, an excise levy of 2.3% on US sales of Class II and III medical devices took effect as of January 1, 2013. This tax will only be applied to devices that are used in the hospital setting, representing roughly 5% of RMD’s

5

business. This is expected to have less than a $1Miv effect on RMD’s bottom-line, but will likely to

hit RMD’s competitors harder as they are more heavily invested in the hospital space. Emerging markets provide significant growth prospects

According to Peter Farrell, the worldwide growth rate for the industry is 6-8% with the Asia-Pacific helping support slower regions with an average 8% to 10% growth rate. In the future companies will look to BRIC countries to expand. More specifically, RMD has placed its focus on India and China, whose middle class represent the best growth opportunities for the company. RMD’s decision to have manufacturing in Singapore (Appendix 17) has placed them in a position to penetrate the Asia-Pacific market. These growth rates will likely be sustained due to the high level of pollution major Chinese cities are experiencing. According to government monitoring, levels of the pollution particles were above 700 micrograms per cubic meter recently – dangerously above the World Health Organization’s safety levels of 25. This poor air quality will ultimately lead to an increase in the amount of respiratory issues, further increasing the market in the Asia-Pacific region. Taxes and regulations push industry to increase margins

In this competitive single focused market, margins are crucial for sustaining an advantage over competition. This makes other sources of profit maximization essential, such as maximizing tax shields and lowering regulation costs. RMD has taken a proactive stance to improve margins by moving operations to tax havens such as Singapore. Moving manufacturing to Singapore has allowed RMD to be strategically located while also realizing enormous tax advantages. Since 2007 RMD has lowered their effective tax rate from 32.23% to 23.23%, which is considerably lower than its competition.

Five Forces

Threat of New Entrants (3)

Threat of new entrants is a low risk factor to RMD. The profitability of the industry has been maintained for the last ten years, hovering around a modest 12%, which is unlikely to attract new competitors. Additionally, the technology in products is heavily patented and would require extensive R&D for a new competitor to make a comparable product.

Bargaining Power of Customers (4)

The home healthcare dealers and sleep clinics have little bargaining power with RMD because their products are seen as the premium product on the market. Additionally, there is a plethora of equipment dealers and clinics when compared to the remaining four manufacturers in the space. We believe the lack of RMD products in these dealers’ inventories could hurt them in the long run, thus diminishing their bargaining power.

Bargaining Power of Suppliers (4)

Given that RMD is the largest player in the SDB equipment space, suppliers rely on the company for a large portion of their revenues. RMD’s size combined with the fact that many of their supplies can be bought off the shelf or from many suppliers signifies that suppliers have little to no bargaining power. However, some products require uniquely configured components from a single-source supplier. This gives the supplier the leverage to negotiate higher prices, and represents a considerable inventory risk if RMD was to lose a single-source supplier.

Threat of Substitute Products (3) We see substitute products as a long-term threat. Surgical procedures and dental appliances designed to treat OSA and other SDB related respiratory conditions currently exist in the market place, but are a long ways away from being as effective as CPAP devices. The mechanical nature of OSA and SDB make it difficult to be treated through these substitute products; however, if the development of this technology were to gain traction, it could result in RMD’s products becoming obsolete.

Competitive Rivalry within the Industry (2)

RMD’s products are in a highly competitive space which is the largest threat to the company’s market share and revenue growth. Competitive bidding and new product releases from competitors continue to put pressure on prices. RMD has been able to combat this by investing heavily in R&D and developing superior products with a fully-integrated system. We expect the strength of the RMD brand and soon-to-come new mask line to protect RMD’s dominance in the market

RMD Market Share

Source: Mizuho Securities and Team Estimates

Competitors RMD competes in the Home Healthcare equipment industry. More specifically, its products are used for the treatment OSA and other respiratory illnesses. This market is highly competitive; nonetheless, the company is the leader in the space with approximately 46% of market share. RMD competes largely through product innovation, customer support, and efficient distribution. The RMD brand is seen as the highest quality on the market, allowing the company to charge more for its products. The higher ticket price combined with lower manufacturing costs in Singapore and global distribution network has allowed RMD to achieve a gross margin that is consistently around 10% higher than its competition.

In addition to developing quality products, RMD secures its share in the market by leading space in education. They reach physicians and sleep clinics through online webinars and the trainings. Furthermore, RMD has established a foundation to promote the research and treatment of sleep apnea. The Company also uses various social media tools to market to their customers. Recently the industry has gone through a period of consolidation. RMD’s main competitors are: Respironics, a division of Philips BV; DeVilbiss, a Vestar Capital Partner Company; Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited; and CareFusion.

Phillips Respironics (Subsidy of NYSE: PHG)

Phillips Respironics is RMD’s largest competitor representing approximately 34% of the market. Together Phillips Respironics and RMD make up 80% of the sleep apnea market. Before being acquired by Philips BV, Respironics led the space, but since 2008 the business has seen a decline in market share, forcing Philips to realize €450M impairment to goodwill in July of 2011. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare (NZSE: FPH.NZ)

Fisher & Paykel is more focused on the hospital market than RMD, with around 43% of their sales from OSA devices and equipment and 53% from respiratory and acute care used in the hospital setting. Within the OSA market Fisher & Paykel has a stronger focus on the lower end CPAP devices, while RMD continues to shift towards the higher margin APAP and Bi-level products. DeVilbiss Healthcare (Private)

DeVilbiss Healthcare is a privately held Limited Liability Corporation owned by Vestar Capital Partners. The Company’s products are manufactured in the United States, Europe, and Asia and are distributed worldwide. While DeVilbiss’ main product line is sleep therapy, the company also offers products in oxygen, aerosol, suction, and ENT Therapy. Their OSA product range is comparable to RMD’s offering everything from CPAP to Auto Bi-Level devices.

CareFusion (NYSE: CFN) CareFusion poses little threat to the OSA market, having only two CPAP devices; however, they will be seen as a larger competitor as RMD tries to increase their product presence in institutional healthcare market.

Investment Summary Recommendation

Our “Hold” recommendation reflects a positive outlook for the company and industry that has already been incorporated in the stock price. We project top-line revenue growth of 10%-12% in the coming years and year-over-year EPS growth of 29%, 12%, and 10% in years 2013-2015, respectively. Competitor cost pressures will continue to be a headwind, but focusing on high-end devices should eliminate pricing threats. Growth has been fueled by the traction of HST, and we see this as continuing trend in the near future. Our target price of $49.56 reflects our expected EPS of $2.36 for the next 12 months, and a P/E multiple of 21x. We expect the company to pay regular dividends for the foreseeable future, with an average yield of 1.6%. In our view, the stock’s current price of $48.31 is not significantly different from any of our estimates. Therefore, we reiterate our hold recommendation. Potential Upside

Given the company’s steady EPS growth, RMD could be considered a strong growth stock. We see great potential for RMD to penetrate emerging markets, grow its presence in the institutional healthcare market, and be seen as the preferred provider for patients being diagnosed through HST. The company remains extremely optimistic about the growth of HST, largely due to the move from providers to require approval for PSG, now representing 75% of

covered lives. Based upon the growing market we think the stock is worth hanging onto.

ResMed Event Analysis Timeline RMD’s daily price showing key events Source: Bloomberg

Acquisitions ResMed is conservative when it comes to acquiring businesses. They have a large cash balance on hand, but only acquire companies with a close strategic fit. Their most recent acquisition, Umbian, offers a comprehensive patient compliance management solution. This will allow RMD to improve patient compliance and be seen as favorable to providers. Other recent acquisitions include BianceMed Ltd. and Grüendler GmbH which have provided RMD with non-contact sleep monitoring devices and humidification products, respectfully. In years with and without acquisitions RMD has been able to see positive revenue growth and a stable ROIC. This shows that RMD is able to sustain performance and growth through internal operations, and only acquires businesses when they believe it will create and economic value added benefit.

Valuation We valued RMD extrinsically using multiples of Price to Earnings Ratios (PER) and Enterprise Values to Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization (EV/EBITDA) of comparable companies. We also computed the value of RMD intrinsically with a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation. Our current 1-year price target for RMD shares is $49.56, and was based off of our 12 month forward P/E ratio of 21x. Our P/E ratio for calendar year 2014 decreased to 20.5, projecting a 2-year price target of $52.30 per share (Appendix 11). Multiples

We expect end of year 2013 EV/EBITDA and P/E multiples to be 12x and 21x respectfully. These numbers are slightly above their 2012 multiples and represent a slight premium to the industry's 10-year average. Historically RMD has traded above industry multiples, and we believe this trend will continue in the future. The wide acceptance of HST has opened up growth prospects for RMD, allowing them to experience a slight uptick of their EV/EBITDA and P/E multiples in the coming years. Though the company’s P/E multiples have fallen off from their 10-year average of 27.7x, we believe they will stabilize in the 19x-21x range. The consensus estimates for the P/E ratios for the Healthcare Supplies Industry and the S&P 500 Midcap Healthcare Sector index dropped by 8.6% and 12.1%, respectively, from 2012 to 2013 and

Page 9: Student Research Sector: Healthcare Industry: …...Student Research This report is published for educational purposes only by students competing in the CFA Institute Research Challenge.

CFA Institute Research Challenge January 25, 2013

9

fell even further in 2014 (Appendix 10). We believe this is due to the new tax laws taking effect this year and hurting the overall index’s bottom line. We estimate that the Medical Device Tax will have negligible effect on RMD’s effective tax rate due to the small amount of products the tax applies too.

DCF Valuation

We project an income statement for the next 5 years that drove our DCF projections (Appendix 8). From fiscal year 2010-2012 the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for RMD’s revenue was 11.9%, over the next five years we estimate RMD’s revenue will have a CAGR of 11.2%. We calculated the terminal value of the of the cash flows using two methods, a perpetuity model and an exit multiple method. Using the perpetuity method with a terminal growth rate of 3% and 8.7% terminal WACC, RMD was valued at $48.52. (Appendix 9) To calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), we took each countries risk premium and multiplied it by the weight of revenues RMD does in each country or region. Refer to Appendix 12 for a specific breakdown of weights and the computation of WACC. The capital asset pricing model was used to calculate the cost equity, using the weighted risk premium, and the ten year US government treasury as the risk free rate. Our beta was calculated regressing 5 years of historical monthly returns of RMD and the S&P 500 The WACC increases from 8.2% to 8.7% during the 5 year projection period due to the increase in the risk free rate which is currently at historic lows. Transaction Comparables

Lastly, we used a transaction comparable to value the company. RMD’s biggest competitor Philip’s acquired Respironics in March of 2008. Respironics offers therapy products for obstructive sleep apnea and portable ventilation, as well as monitoring devices for newborns, sleep diagnostics, and products for the treatment of respiratory disorders. Philip’s offered to buy Respironics for $66/share which equated to a EV/EBITDA multiple of 19.25x. Based on this multiple, and RMD’s estimated 2013 EBITDA, an implied share price of $54.70 is calculated (Appendix 15).

Risks to Target Price

Our price targets rely on several forecasts that reflect our own assumptions about the future economic environment, as well as the company’s own profitability. Therefore, any significant changes to those assumptions could have a considerable impact on our forecasts. Some of these assumptions include the rate of revenue growth, economic growth, as well as our selective discount rate. Changes to any of these factors could significantly alter our estimates. Likewise, our multiples are largely based on market sentiment. Therefore, our estimates are vulnerable not only to changes in the company’s cash flows, but also to changes in market sentiment. In the event RMD’s P/E ratio is lower than our estimate, then our target price could overestimate expected returns.

Financial Analysis: Strong Growth, Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

Earnings

RMD achieves impressive earnings every year and its EPS will continue to grow. We expect a 5-year CAGR of 14.4%, largely due to expansion in Asia and an increase of customer awareness and diagnosis through HST. We expect EPS of $2.21 for FY 2013, and $2.47 in FY 2014, with modest growth going forward.

Gross Margins Will Improve

Gross margin continues to be supported by the lower cost of manufacturing in Singapore and Malaysia, and a favorable shift to a higher margin product mix. RMD increased its manufacturing to upwards of 50% and plans to increase as 75% by the end of the year. In addition to operational efficiencies, the advent of home sleep testing has fueled the shift to the higher margin APAP flow generators. Gross margin was improved by .04% to 61.8%.

Competitive Bidding

Revenues and growth in the 9 MSA’s where Round 1 of competitive bidding took place was in line with the rest of the market. Management believes that competitive bidding will have negligible effect on earnings, and has not seen a change in competitive behavior ahead of Round 2. RMD’s brand has helped support pricing power; however, the industry continues to see a 5% annual price decline. This price decline is more than offset by RMD’s shift to higher margin products.

Cash Flow

Cash flow remains strong, helping increase the net cash balance to $657.43M. Through continuous improvement to its supply chain RMD has been able to significantly reduce their days held in inventory, allowing them to achieve their best Cash Conversion Cycle in FY 2012 in over ten years. RMD continues to use its excess cash to repurchase shares, pay dividends, and fund acquisitions. The Company announced its third quarterly dividend in 2Q13 of $0.17and repurchased 1 million shares for a total consideration if $400M. As of 31-Dec-12, RMD had 7.6M shares remaining under its current buyback program. We expect RMD to payout an identical quarterly dividend throughout 2013 and repurchase an additional 784,000 shares. Balance Sheet & Financing

We expect RMD to maintain a healthy balance sheet with cash and cash equivalent making of upwards of 40% of total assets. It currently has a net cash balance of $657.43M and relies on internally generated funds to finance operations. The large cash balance gives RMD financial flexibility and can make strategic acquisitions should the opportunity arise. Having a low level of debt to equity and high interest coverage ratio means the company should not have a problem obtaining any future loans.

Profitability

ROIC and ROE have been stable throughout the last ten years hovering around 12% and 15% respectfully. With an average WACC of 9.2%, we see this as a strong indication that RMD is able to create value through both its operations and acquisitions, and expect this trend to continue in the future.

Geographic Revenues, FY2012

Investment Risks Macroeconomic Environment

Like many multinational businesses, RMD is vulnerable to the macroeconomic risks that are weighing on the global economy. This is particularly true as the company hopes to expand sales into emerging markets, specifically India, China, the Middle East, and South America. Approximately 45% of sales in FY 2012 were generated from countries overseas. Germany and France alone comprised 13% and 10% of FY 2012 revenues respectively. Thus, the company’s ability to achieve top-line growth depends largely on the strength of the global economy. Price Competition

While we see more pricing pressures in the low-end arena, RMD focuses more on higher end products that foster compliance. In addition, RMD believes Medicare's push for competitive bidding for durable medical equipment will not materially affect performance. Market Share Loss

As a leader in the sleep apnea market, RMD faces a risk of reduced market share from new competitors entering the market space. However, we continue to view the long-term fundamentals of the sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) market as intact, given the strong links between SDB and chronic disease and a highly underpenetrated marketplace. We also see the company and its peers benefiting from increased interest in SDB therapy, given Medicare's decision to expand coverage for CPAP devices for those diagnosed at home with SDB and the acceptance of home tests by private payers. Foreign Exchange Risk

ResMed faces foreign exchange risks due to the large amounts of cash the company holds overseas in other countries. Due to unfavorable U.S. corporate tax rates, RMD repatriates minimal amounts of revenue earned abroad. Although this may improve foreign cash balances, there is an increased risk to fluctuating exchange rates. To mitigate its foreign exchange risk, RMD uses forward currency contracts. Regulatory Risk

ResMed faces continual regulatory risks that ultimately can affect future earnings caused by increased taxes or fees. For instance, the Medical Device Excise Tax, effective as of January 1, 2013, is a 2.3% levy on US sales of Class II and Class III medical devices. RMD’s flow generators and masks and accessories are exempt under the retail exemption in section 4191(b)(2). The Company’s more complex products, such as VPAP and ventilators are likely to qualify and therefore the 2.3% levy continues to apply to this equipment only. These products are small portion of U.S. sales and therefore the tax will not have a significant impact to earnings.

Corporate Leadership Transition Risk

RMD is expected to internally replace current CEO, Peter Farrell, by the end of 2013. The two leading candidates for the position are Michael Farrell, President of the Americas, and Robert Douglas, COO. The subsequent management changes are not expected to have a significant impact on the overall direction of the company. A smooth transition period is expected and likewise we see no negative impact on our price target. Source: 10-K
