(1)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Basis of Presentation

ResMed Inc. (referred to herein as “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed in March 1994 as a holding company for the ResMed Group. Through our subsidiaries, we design, manufacture and market equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep-disordered breathing and other respiratory disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea. Our manufacturing operations are located in Australia, Singapore, France, Germany, Malaysia and the United States. Major distribution and sales sites are located in the United States, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, Japan, Norway and Sweden.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments, which consisted only of normal recurring items, have been included in the accompanying financial statements to present fairly the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2015.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

(2)	Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the denominator includes both the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the number of dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock options and restricted stock units.

Stock options and restricted stock units of Nil and 381,837, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and stock options and restricted stock units of 125,255 and 254,958 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect of exercising these options would have been anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are calculated as follows (in thousands except per share data):


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,

(5)	Cost-Method Investments

The aggregate carrying amount of our cost-method investments at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, was $25.4 million and $14.9 million, respectively, and is included in the non-current balance of other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We periodically evaluate the carrying value of our cost-method investments, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. We estimate the fair value of our cost-method investments to assess whether impairment losses shall be recorded using Level 3 inputs. These investments include our holdings in privately held service and research companies that are not exchange traded and therefore not supported with observable market prices. However, these investments are valued by reference to their net asset values that can be market supported and unobservable inputs including future cash flows. During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we did not recognize any impairment losses related to our cost-method investments. We have determined that the fair value of our investments exceed their carrying values.

The following table shows a reconciliation of the changes in our cost-method investments during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2015		2014
Balance at the beginning of the period	$	14,850	$	4,000

Credit Facility

On October 31, 2013, we entered into a credit agreement, as borrower, with lenders, including Union Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, joint lead arranger, swing line lender and letters of credit issuer, and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as syndication agent and joint lead arranger. Our obligations under the credit agreement are guaranteed by ResMed Corp. and ResMed Motor Technologies Inc., two of our U.S. subsidiaries.

The credit agreement provides a $700 million senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility, with an uncommitted option to increase the credit facility by an additional $300 million. The credit facility also includes a $25 million sublimit for letters of credit. The credit facility terminates on October 31, 2018, when all unpaid principal and interest under the loans must be repaid. The outstanding principal amount due under the credit facility will bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.0% to 2.0% (depending on the then-applicable leverage ratio). At March 31, 2015, the interest rate that was being charged on the outstanding principal amount was 1.2%. An applicable commitment fee of 0.15% to 0.25% (depending on the then-applicable leverage ratio) applies on the unused portion of the credit facility.

When we entered into the credit agreement, we used a portion of the proceeds from the initial funding of the credit facility to repay the outstanding balance under our previous revolving credit facility with Union Bank, N.A and other lenders. On that repayment, the previous credit agreement, dated as of February 10, 2011, between us and lenders (including Union Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as syndication agent and Union Bank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, National Association, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Wells Fargo Bank), was terminated and the commitments under the previous credit agreement were also terminated.

Our obligations under the current credit agreement are unsecured but are guaranteed by two of our U.S. subsidiaries. The credit agreement contains customary covenants, including certain financial covenants and an obligation that we maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio of funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) and an interest coverage ratio. The entire principal amount of the credit facility and any accrued but unpaid interest may be declared immediately due and payable if an event of default occurs, as defined in the credit agreement.

(9)	Stock-Based Employee Compensation

We measure the compensation expense of all stock-based awards at fair value on the grant date. We estimate the fair value of stock options and purchase rights granted under the employee stock purchase plan (the “ESPP”) using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of restricted stock units is equal to the market value of the underlying shares as determined at the grant date less the fair value of dividends that holders are not entitled to, during the vesting period. The fair value of performance restricted stock units which contain a market condition, are estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. We recognize the fair value as compensation expense using the straight-line method over the service period for awards expected to vest.

We estimate the fair value of stock options granted under our stock option plans and purchase rights granted under the ESPP using the following assumptions:


	Three Months Ended March 31,						Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Stock options:
Weighted average grant date fair value	$	-		$	-		$	10.58		$	10.90
Weighted average risk-free interest rate		-			-			1.60	%		1.44	%
Expected option life in years		-			-			4.9			4.9
Dividend yield		-			-			2.15	%		2.06	%
Expected volatility		-			-			27	%		30	%
ESPP purchase rights:
Weighted average risk-free interest rate		0.07	%		0.08	%		0.07	%		0.08	%
Expected option life in years		6 months			6 months			6 months			6 months
Dividend yield		2.17	%		1.96	%		2.00% - 2.17	%		1.44% - 1.96	%
Expected volatility		22	%		28	%		22% - 24	%		24% - 28	%

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we also granted performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), which contain a market condition, with the ultimate realizable number of PRSUs dependent on relative total stockholder return over a three-year period, up to a maximum amount to be issued under the award of 200% of the original grant. The weighted average fair value of PRSUs granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was estimated at $51.12 and $50.09 per PRSU, respectively, using a Monte-Carlo simulation valuation model.

(10)	Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 we repurchased 0.3 million and 1.6 million shares at a cost of $20.3 million and $72.5 million, respectively. Since the inception of our share repurchase programs and through March 31, 2015, we have repurchased a total of 38.2 million shares at a cost of $1.4 billion. Shares that are repurchased are classified as treasury stock pending future use and reduce the number of shares outstanding used in calculating earnings per share. At March 31, 2015, 16.5 million additional shares can be repurchased under the approved share repurchase program.

Preferred Stock. In April 1997, the board of directors designated 2,000,000 shares of our $0.01 par value preferred stock as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. No shares were issued or outstanding at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014.

Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units. We have granted stock options and restricted stock units to personnel, including officers and directors, in accordance with the ResMed Inc. 2009 Incentive Award Plan (the “2009 Plan”). These options and restricted stock units have expiration dates of seven years from the date of grant and vest over one to four years. We have granted the options with an exercise price equal to the market value as determined at the date of grant.

The maximum number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the 2009 Plan is 43.7 million shares. The number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the 2009 Plan at March 31, 2015 is 13.8 million. The number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2009 Plan will be reduced by (i) 2.8 shares for each one share of common stock delivered in settlement of any “full-value award,” which is any award other than a stock option, stock appreciation right or other award for which the holder pays the intrinsic value and (ii) one share for each share of common stock delivered in settlement of all other awards. The maximum number of shares, that may be subject to awards granted under the 2009 Plan to any individual during any calendar year, may not exceed 3 million shares of our common stock (except in a participant’s initial year of hiring, when up to 4.5 million shares of our common stock may be granted).

At March 31, 2015, there were $80.7 million in unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock-based compensation arrangements. This is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of the stock-based compensation arrangements outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2015 was $305.0 million and $117.5 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of the options exercised during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, was $64.0 million and $59.8 million, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Under the ESPP, we offer participants the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount during successive offering periods. Each offering period under the ESPP will be for a period of time determined by the board of directors’ compensation committee of no less than 3 months and no more than 27 months. The purchase price for our common stock under the ESPP will be the lower of 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant or 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of purchase. An individual participant cannot subscribe for more than $25,000 in common stock during any calendar year. At March 31, 2015, the number of shares remaining available for future issuance under the ESPP is 1.6 million shares.

(11)	Fair Value Measurements

In determining the fair value measurements of our financial assets and liabilities, we consider the principal and most advantageous market in which we transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the financial asset or liability. We maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The hierarchies of inputs are as follows:


•	Level 1:	Input prices quoted in an active market for identical financial assets or liabilities;

•	Level 2:	Inputs other than prices quoted in Level 1, such as prices quoted for similar financial assets and liabilities in active markets, prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

•	Level 3:	Input prices quoted that are significant to the fair value of the financial assets or liabilities which are not observable nor supported by an active market.

The following table summarizes our financial assets and liabilities, as at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, using the valuation input hierarchy (in thousands):


	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3			Total
Balances at March 31, 2015
Foreign currency hedging instruments, net	$	-	$	(2,893	)	$	-		$	(2,893	)
Business acquisition contingent consideration	$	-	$	-		$	(1,074	)	$	(1,074	)
Balances at June 30, 2014
Foreign currency hedging instruments, net	$	-	$	(2,270	)	$	-		$	(2,270	)
Business acquisition contingent consideration	$	-	$	-		$	(480	)	$	(480	)

We determine the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities as follows:

Foreign currency hedging instruments – These financial instruments are valued using third-party valuation models based on market observable inputs, including interest rate curves, on-market spot currency prices, volatilities and credit risk.

Contingent consideration – These liabilities include the fair value estimates of additional future payments that may be required for some of our previous business acquisitions based on the achievement of certain performance milestones. Each potential future payment is valued using the estimated probability of achieving each milestone, which is then discounted to present value.

The following is a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of contingent consideration for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Balance at the beginning of the period	$	(480	)	$	(7,779	)
Acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration		(1,217	)		-
Changes in fair value included in operating income		132			5,210
Payments		458			1,117
Foreign currency translation adjustments		33			(105	)
Balance at the end of the period	$	(1,074	)	$	(1,557	)

We did not have any significant non-financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on March 31, 2015 or June 30, 2014.

(12)	Legal Actions and Contingencies

Litigation

In the normal course of business, we are subject to routine litigation incidental to our business. While the results of this litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that their final outcome will not, individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Obligations Under Recourse Provisions

We use independent leasing companies to provide financing to certain customers for the purchase of our products. In some cases, we are liable in the event of a customer default, to the leasing companies, within certain limits, for unpaid installment receivables transferred to the leasing companies. The gross amount of receivables sold with recourse during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, amounted to $20.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively. We have recognized a receivable and a liability under these arrangements at March 31, 2015 of $7.4 million. We have recognized a provision in relation to these receivables at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, of $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

(13) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We transact business in various foreign currencies, including a number of major European currencies as well as the Australian and Singapore dollars. We have significant foreign currency exposure through both our Australian and Singaporean manufacturing activities, and international sales operations. We have established a foreign currency hedging program using purchased currency options and forward contracts to hedge foreign-currency-denominated financial assets, liabilities and manufacturing cash flows. The terms of such foreign currency hedging contracts generally do not exceed three years. The goal of this hedging program is to economically manage the financial impact of foreign currency exposures denominated mainly in Euros, Australian and Singapore dollars. Under this program, increases or decreases in our foreign currency denominated financial assets, liabilities, and firm commitments are partially offset by gains and losses on the hedging instruments.

We do not designate these foreign currency contracts as hedges. We have determined our hedge program to be a non-effective hedge as defined under the FASB issued authoritative guidance. All movements in the fair value of the foreign currency instruments are recorded within other income, net in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

We held foreign currency instruments with notional amounts totaling $380.5 million and $473.7 million at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively, to hedge foreign currency fluctuations. These contracts mature at various dates prior to March 31, 2018.

The following table summarizes the amount and location of our derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014 (in thousands):


	March 31, 2015			June 30, 2014			Balance Sheet Caption
Foreign currency hedging instruments	$	1,316		$	456		Other assets - current
Foreign currency hedging instruments		1,916			489		Other assets - non current
Foreign currency hedging instruments		(6,125	)		(3,215	)	Accrued expenses
	$	(2,893	)	$	(2,270	)

The following table summarizes the amount and location of gains (losses) associated with our derivative financial instruments for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively (in thousands):


	Gain /(Loss) Recognized						Income Statement Caption
	Nine Months Ended March 31,

Other foreign-currency-denominated transactions		32,099			470		Other, net
	$	5,445		$	(1,615	)

We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counter parties to financial instruments. We minimize counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative transactions with major financial institutions and we do not expect material losses as a result of default by our counterparties.

(14)	Business Combinations

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 we acquired four distributors of equipment and services for the treatment of sleep-disordered breathing and respiratory disorders, based in Australia and New Zealand, including ResSleep International Pty Ltd, which was a related party. On January 8, 2015 we acquired Jaysec Technologies LLC, “Jaysec”, a provider of internet-based software solutions for the home medical equipment (HME) industry. Jaysec’s products help HME providers resupply their patients and communicate with referring medical providers. These acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations using purchase accounting and are included in our consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates. The acquisitions are not considered material business combinations and accordingly pro forma information is not provided. The acquisitions were funded through cash on-hand and we have not incurred any material acquisition related costs.

We have completed the preliminary purchase price allocation for the above acquisitions. The cost of the acquisitions has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimates of their fair values at the date of acquisition. As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, we recognized an intangible asset relating to customer relationships of $12.0 million, with an estimated useful life of 5 years, developed technology of $3.5 million, with an estimated useful life of 5 years, and goodwill of $19.1 million. The goodwill recognized as part of these acquisitions, of which $13.0 million is not deductible for tax purposes, mainly represents the synergies that are unique to our combined businesses and the potential for new products and services to be developed in the future.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

The following is an overview of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of ResMed Inc. Management’s discussion and analysis is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the selected financial data and condensed consolidated financial statements and notes, included in this report.

We are a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of medical equipment for treating, diagnosing, and managing sleep-disordered breathing (“SDB”) and other respiratory disorders. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, we continued our efforts to build awareness of the consequences of untreated SDB, and to grow our business in this market. In our efforts, we have endeavored to raise awareness through market and clinical initiatives highlighting the relationship between SDB/obstructive sleep apnea and co-morbidities, such as cardiac disease, diabetes, hypertension and obesity, as well as the dangers of sleep apnea in regard to occupational health and safety, especially in the transport industry.

We are committed to ongoing investment in research and development and product enhancements. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, we invested $27.0 million and $86.3 million, respectively, on research and development activities. Since the development of continuous positive airway pressure (“CPAP”) therapy, we have developed a number of innovative products for SDB and other respiratory disorders including airflow generators, diagnostic products, mask systems, headgear and other accessories. Our new product release schedule remains active across both our mask and flow generator categories.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we launched our AirCurve™ 10 series of cloud-connected bilevel devices in Europe. We also continued to expand our informatics and workflow capabilities as we completed the integration of AirView™ with Brightree, a leading provider of cloud-based software to the HME industry, and announced the acquisition of Jaysec, a provider of internet-based software solutions for the HME industry.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, our net revenue increased by 6% when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. Gross margin was 59.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 63.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased to $0.64 per share, up from $0.63 per share in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

At March 31, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $866.3 million, our total assets were $2.3 billion and our stockholders’ equity was $1.5 billion.

In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we provide certain financial information on a “constant currency basis”, which is in addition to the actual financial information presented. In order to calculate our constant currency information, we translate the current period financial information using the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the previous comparable period. However, constant currency measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to U.S. dollar measures that reflect current period exchange rates, or to other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Net Revenue

Net revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $422.5 million compared to $397.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $24.7 million or 6% (a 13% increase on a constant currency basis). The increase in net revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in unit sales of our flow generators and accessories, partially offset by a decline in average selling prices. Movements in international currencies against the U.S. dollar unfavorably impacted revenues by approximately $28.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Net revenue in North and Latin America for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $250.9 million, compared to $216.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $34.8 million, or 16%. The increase in net revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in unit sales of our flow generators and accessories, offset by a decline in average selling prices. Net revenue in markets outside North and Latin America, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, decreased to $171.6 million compared to $181.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of 6% (a 9% increase in constant currency terms).

Net revenue from the sales of flow generators, including humidifiers, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $249.0 million, an increase of 17% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $212.7 million, including an increase of 42% in North and Latin America and a decrease of 2% elsewhere (a 13% increase in constant currency terms). Net revenue from the sales of masks and other accessories for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $173.5 million, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $185.1 million, reflecting a decrease of 4% in North and Latin America and a decrease of 11% elsewhere (a 3% increase in constant currency terms).

The following table summarizes the percentage movements in our net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014:


	North and Latin America			International			Total			International (Constant Currency)*			Total (Constant Currency)*
Flow generators		42	%		-2	%		17	%		13	%	26%

Total		16	%		-6	%		6	%		9	%	13%

*	Constant currency numbers exclude the impact of movements in international currencies.

Net revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, was $1,225.8 million, compared to $1,139.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of 8%. For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, revenue from sales of flow generators increased by 15% compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014, comprised of an increase of 25% in North and Latin America and a 7% increase elsewhere. For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, revenue from sales of mask systems and other accessories decreased by 1% compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014, comprised of a 1% decrease in North and Latin America and a 1% decrease elsewhere. Movement in international currencies against the U.S. dollar unfavorably impacted net revenue by approximately $41.9 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2015. Excluding the impact of unfavorable currency movements, total revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 increased by 11% compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

The following table summarizes the percentage movements in our net revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014:

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $251.4 million from $251.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $0.4 million or 0.1%. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased to 59.5% from 63.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Gross profit increased for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 to $752.0 million from $728.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $23.4 million or 3%. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 decreased to 61.3% from 63.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.

The decline in gross margins was primarily due to declines in our average selling prices, unfavorable product mix as sales of our lower margin products represented a higher proportion of our sales, an unfavorable impact from exchange rate movements as a result of the decline in the Euro and an unfavorable geographic mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $116.3 million from $115.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $1.2 million or 1%. The selling, general and administrative expenses were favorably impacted by the movement of international currencies against the U.S. dollar, which decreased our expenses by approximately $10.6 million, as reported in U.S. dollars. Excluding the impact of foreign currency movements, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased by 10% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, were 27.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to 28.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 to $349.4 million from $328.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $21.2 million or 6%. The selling, general and administrative expenses were favorably impacted by the movement of international currencies against the U.S. dollar, which decreased our expenses by approximately $16.1 million, as reported in U.S. dollars. Excluding the impact of foreign currency movements, selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 increased by 11% compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, were 28.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, compared to 28.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to additional personnel to support our commercial activities, higher marketing expenditure associated with our recent product releases, an increase in our variable employee compensation costs, the impact of recent acquisitions and the release of contingent consideration in the prior year.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $27.0 million from $29.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 8%. The research and development expenses were favorably impacted by the movement of international currencies against the U.S. dollar, which decreased our expenses by approximately $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as reported in U.S. dollars. Excluding the impact of foreign currency movements, our research and development expenses increased by 4% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. Research and development expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, were 6.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to 7.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was $86.3 million compared to $86.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $0.1 million or 0.1%. The research and development expenses were favorably impacted by the movement of international currencies against the U.S. dollar, which decreased our expenses by approximately $6.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, as reported in U.S. dollars. Excluding the impact of foreign currency movements, our research and development expenses increased by 7% compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014. Research and development expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, were 7.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, compared to 7.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

The constant currency increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with healthcare informatics product development activities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets

Amortization of acquired intangible assets for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $2.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively, compared to $2.5 million and $7.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Total Other Income, Net

Total other income, net for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 was $8.5 million and $22.1 million, respectively, compared to $8.2 million and $17.8 million, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in total other income, net, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, was due primarily to gains on foreign currency transactions and the gain on sale of a distribution business, partially offset by lower interest income resulting from lower interest rates on cash balances held and the depreciation of the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was approximately 20.4% as compared to approximately 20.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was approximately 20.0% as compared to approximately 20.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. Our effective income tax rate is affected by the geographic mix of our taxable income, including the lower taxes associated with our Singapore and Malaysia manufacturing operations. Our Singapore and Malaysia operations operate under certain tax holidays and tax incentive programs that will expire in whole or in part at various dates through June 30, 2020. As of March 31, 2015, we have not provided for U.S. income taxes for the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. We intend these earnings to be permanently reinvested outside the United States.

Net Income and Earnings per Share

As a result of the factors above, our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $91.0 million compared to net income of $90.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of 1% over the three months ended March 31, 2014. Our net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was $265.4 million compared to net income of $257.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of 3% over the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

As a result of the increase in our net income and lower share count due to our stock repurchases, our diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 were $0.64 and $1.86 per diluted share, respectively, compared to $0.63 and $1.78 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of 2% and 4%, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $866.3 million and $905.7 million, respectively. Working capital was $1.3 billion at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014.

As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, our cash and cash equivalent balances held within the United States amounted to $30.7 million and $29.0 million, respectively. Our remaining cash and cash equivalent balances at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, of $835.6 million and $876.7 million, respectively, were held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries and would be subject to tax if repatriated. If these funds were needed for our operations in the United States, we would be required to accrue and pay United States taxes to repatriate these funds. However, we intend to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the United States and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our United States operations. Our cash and cash equivalent balances are held at highly rated financial institutions.

Inventories at March 31, 2015 were $225.2 million, an increase of $60.3 million or 37% from the March 31, 2014 balance of $164.9 million. The increase in inventories was mainly associated with our new product introductions and to support the increase in unit sales.

Accounts receivable at March 31, 2015 were $345.5 million, an increase of $7.9 million or 2% over the March 31, 2014 accounts receivable balance of $337.6 million. Accounts receivable days outstanding of 73 days at March 31, 2015 was consistent with the 73 days at March 31, 2014. Our allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2015 was 3.4%, compared to 3.0% at June 30, 2014.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, we generated cash of $283.5 million from operations compared to $275.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. Movements in foreign currency exchange rates during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 had the effect of decreasing our cash and cash equivalents by $184.1 million, as reported in U.S. dollars. During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we repurchased 1.8 million and 3.6 million shares at a cost of $96.7 million and $167.6 million, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we also paid dividends totaling $117.9 million and $106.4 million, respectively.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $50.3 million and $54.2 million, respectively. The capital expenditures for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 primarily reflected investment in production tooling, equipment and machinery, computer hardware and software, and rental and loan equipment. At March 31, 2015, our balance sheet reflects net property, plant and equipment of $384.2 million compared to $434.3 million at June 30, 2014. At March 31, 2015, no capital lease obligations exist. Details of contractual obligations at March 31, 2015 are as follows:

*	The above guarantees mainly relate to requirements under contractual obligations with insurance companies transacting with our German subsidiaries and guarantees provided under our facility leasing obligations.

Credit Facility

When we entered into the credit agreement, we used a portion of the proceeds from the initial funding of the credit facility to repay the outstanding balance under our previous revolving credit facility with Union Bank, N.A and other lenders. On that repayment, the previous credit agreement, dated as of February 10, 2011, between us and lenders (including Union Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and L/C Issuer, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as syndication agent and Union Bank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, National Association, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Wells Fargo Bank), was terminated and the commitments under that previous credit agreement were also terminated.

At March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with our debt covenants and there was $460.0 million outstanding under the credit agreement.

We expect to satisfy all of our liquidity requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations and debt facilities.

Common Stock

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, we repurchased 1.8 million shares at a cost of $96.7 million. At March 31, 2015, we have repurchased a total of 38.2 million shares at a cost of $1.4 billion. Shares that are repurchased are classified as treasury stock pending future use and reduce the number of shares outstanding used in calculating earnings per share. At March 31, 2015, 16.5 million additional shares can be repurchased under the current share repurchase program.

Critical Accounting Principles and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates, including those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, warranty obligations, goodwill, potentially impaired assets, intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies.

We state these accounting policies in the notes to the financial statements and at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis. The estimates are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a full discussion of our critical accounting policies, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of recently issued accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on our results of operations, financial positions and cash flows.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency Market Risk

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, although the financial statements of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are maintained in their respective local currencies. We transact business in various foreign currencies, including a number of major European currencies as well as the Australian and Singapore dollar. We have significant foreign currency exposure through our Australian and Singapore manufacturing activities and our international sales operations. We have established a foreign currency hedging program using purchased currency options and forward contracts to hedge foreign-currency-denominated financial assets, liabilities and manufacturing cash flows. The goal of this hedging program is to economically manage the financial impact of foreign currency exposures predominantly denominated in euros, Australian dollars and Singapore dollars. Under this program, increases or decreases in our foreign-currency-denominated financial assets, liabilities, and firm commitments are partially offset by gains and losses on the hedging instruments. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The foreign currency derivatives portfolio is recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and included in other assets or other liabilities. All movements in the fair value of the foreign currency derivatives are recorded within other income, net, on our condensed consolidated statements of income.

The table below provides information (in U.S. dollars) on our significant foreign-currency-denominated balances by legal entity functional currency as of March 31, 2015 (in thousands):

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to risk associated with changes in interest rates affecting the return on our cash and cash equivalents and debt. At March 31, 2015, we held cash and cash equivalents of $866.3 million, principally comprised of bank term deposits and at-call accounts, and they are invested at short-term fixed and variable interest rates. At March 31, 2015, we had total long-term debt, including the current portion of those obligations of $460.6 million, of which $460.0 million is subject to variable interest rates. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2015, would not have had a material impact on pretax income. We have no interest rate hedging agreements.

Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2015.

Item 1

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal proceedings and claims. Litigation is inherently uncertain. Accordingly, we cannot predict the outcome of these matters. But we do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements when taken as a whole.

In 2013, we filed actions in the U.S. and Germany against Chinese manufacturer BMC Medical Co., Ltd to stop the infringement of several ResMed patents. The U.S. International Trade Commission initiated an investigation, and in December 2014, ruled that certain of BMC’s masks infringed ResMed’s patents and should be excluded from importation or sale in the US. BMC subsequently notified the Commission that it discontinued US sales of the mask products affected by the Commission’s order. The International Trade Commission also ruled that the claims of the patent against BMC’s humidifier patent were anticipated by prior art, invalidated those claims, and declined to exclude BMC’s humidifier products from importation or sale. Each party has appealed the International Trade Commission’s ruling. A companion case in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California remains stayed pending those appeals. In 2013, we obtained preliminary injunctions prohibiting BMC from marketing and selling certain flow generators and mask assemblies accused of patent infringement in Germany. The preliminary injunction against BMC’s mask assemblies remains in effect, but in November 2014 the court dissolved the preliminary injunction against the sale of BMC’s flow generators. ResMed has appealed that ruling.

In 2015, BMC’s U.S. distributor, 3B Medical, Inc., filed suit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against ResMed Inc. and ResMed Corp. for alleged federal and state antitrust violations. Specifically, 3B Medical alleges that in addition to enforcing its patents, ResMed has entered into exclusive dealing arrangements with customers, tied sales of masks to sales of flow generators, and spread false information that 3B would go out of business due to ResMed’s patent infringement action. 3B Medical seeks damages and an injunction. ResMed Inc. and Corp. have denied the allegations.

The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, which was filed with the SEC and describes the various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject.

The program allows us to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time for cash in the open market, or in negotiated or block transactions, as market and business conditions warrant and subject to applicable legal requirements. There is no expiration date for this program, and the program may be accelerated, suspended, delayed or discontinued at any time at the discretion of our board of directors. All share repurchases after February 21, 2014 have been executed under this program. Since the inception of the share buyback programs, we have repurchased 38.2 million shares at a total cost of $1.4 billion.
