Revenue Growth

A company’s long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but many enduring ones grow for years. Luckily, ResMed’s sales grew at a decent 11.7% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. Its growth was slightly above the average healthcare company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.

We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within healthcare, a half-decade historical view may miss recent innovations or disruptive industry trends. ResMed’s annualized revenue growth of 10.4% over the last two years is below its five-year trend, but we still think the results were respectable.

ResMed also reports sales performance excluding currency movements, which are outside the company’s control and not indicative of demand. Over the last two years, its constant currency sales averaged 10.3% year-on-year growth. Because this number aligns with its normal revenue growth, we can see that ResMed has properly hedged its foreign currency exposure.

This quarter, ResMed reported year-on-year revenue growth of 10.2%, and its $1.35 billion of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 1.3%.

Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 8.1% over the next 12 months, a slight deceleration versus the last two years. Despite the slowdown, this projection is noteworthy and suggests the market is forecasting success for its products and services.

Operating Margin

ResMed has been an efficient company over the last five years. It was one of the more profitable businesses in the healthcare sector, boasting an average operating margin of 29%.

Analyzing the trend in its profitability, ResMed’s operating margin rose by 4.5 percentage points over the last five years, as its sales growth gave it operating leverage. This performance was mostly driven by its recent improvements as the company’s margin has increased by 5.9 percentage points on a two-year basis. These data points are very encouraging and shows momentum is on its side.

This quarter, ResMed generated an operating margin profit margin of 33.7%, up 2.6 percentage points year on year. This increase was a welcome development and shows it was more efficient.

Earnings Per Share

Revenue trends explain a company’s historical growth, but the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) points to the profitability of that growth – for example, a company could inflate its sales through excessive spending on advertising and promotions.

ResMed’s EPS grew at a spectacular 14.9% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 11.7% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded.

We can take a deeper look into ResMed’s earnings to better understand the drivers of its performance. As we mentioned earlier, ResMed’s operating margin expanded by 4.5 percentage points over the last five years. This was the most relevant factor (aside from the revenue impact) behind its higher earnings; interest expenses and taxes can also affect EPS but don’t tell us as much about a company’s fundamentals.

In Q2, ResMed reported adjusted EPS at $2.55, up from $2.08 in the same quarter last year. This print beat analysts’ estimates by 3%. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects ResMed’s full-year EPS of $9.55 to grow 8.6%.
