Speaker #3: RESMED continues to build the world's leading digital health ecosystem, encompassing sleep health, breathing health, and healthcare technology delivered in the home. I'd like to return to the three key themes that I've been highlighting over the past year.

Mick Farrell: I'd like to return to the three key themes that I've been highlighting over the past year. One, that ResMed is an operational excellence machine and an innovation machine. Two, that ResMed's robust free cash flow and strong balance sheet position us to both invest in the business and return capital to our shareholders. Three, that ResMed remains a compelling investment opportunity, especially amidst global macro uncertainty. We just continue to deliver the results. I'll address each of these three themes in my prepared remarks here before we go to Q&A. Our gross margin expansion in the quarter was strong, 290 basis points year-over-year, and 50 basis points of gross margin expansion sequentially. These results demonstrate the operational excellence that is a ResMed hallmark. We've continued to execute on our pipeline of supply chain optimization initiatives.

Speaker #3: Our gross margin expansion in the quarter was strong, 290 basis points year over year, and 50 basis points of market gross margin expansion sequentially.

Speaker #3: These results demonstrate the operational excellence that is a RESMED hallmark. We've continued to execute on our pipeline of supply chain optimization initiatives. These efforts, along with our experience from past supply chain perturbations, including COVID impacts, the major recall of a competitor, and semiconductor chip shortages, position us well to navigate the current geopolitical uncertainty and any other external impacts to our resilient global supply chain.

Mick Farrell: These efforts, along with our experience from past supply chain perturbations, including COVID impacts, the major recall of a competitor, and semiconductor chip shortages, position us well to navigate the current geopolitical uncertainty and any other external impacts to our resilient global supply chain. ResMed also remains an innovation machine. We've continued the global rollout of our portfolio of novel fabric based masks. These masks are designed to deliver an elevated comfort experience for patients. They are changing the basis of competition in mask technology. The AirTouch N30i, more recently, the F30i Comfort, as well as the F30i Clear, have achieved strong early adoption, combined with incredibly positive patient feedback and homecare provider feedback. Now we also have real-world data that shows that the AirTouch N30i drives 6% higher 90-day compliance than its silicone equivalent.

Speaker #3: And now we also have real-world data that shows that the AirTouch N30i drives 6% higher 90-day compliance than its silicone equivalent. Those of you that truly understand the clinical and business relevance of adherence know that those 600 basis points of extra compliance will mean what the 600 basis points of extra compliance will mean as this technology expands.

Mick Farrell: Those of you that truly understand the clinical and business relevance of adherence know that those 600 basis points of extra compliance will mean what the 600 basis points of extra compliance will mean as this technology expands. Adherence is the single biggest driver of lifetime value for patients, for physicians, for HME providers, and for ResMed. Watch this space as fabric technology expands its impact in our full face category with the F30i product lines, both the F30i Comfort and the F30i Clear. On the device side of our business, we have made further progress with the global rollout of the AirSense 11 platform, including most recently in markets in Latin America and just this month in our fast-growing China market.

Speaker #3: For our China market, as we've discussed before, we leverage a local digital ecosystem, intentionally separated from our global ecosystems. Including integration with platforms such as WeChat, that creates a personalized patient engagement experience.

Mick Farrell: For our China market, as we've discussed before, we leverage a local digital ecosystem intentionally separated from our global ecosystems, including integration with platforms such as WeChat. That creates a personalized patient engagement experience. This is an element of our broader strategy to scale our global ecosystem model encompassing devices, software, and data, yet also customized for ecosystems models that target local market needs. ResMed also continues to drive awareness in the sleep medicine clinical community. Our continuing medical education or CME programs include Sleep Medicine Physician Society approved guidelines, including the benefits of CPAP, APAP, and bilevel therapy as the clinical gold standard, the frontline treatment for any patient diagnosed with sleep apnea. Our sleep apnea educational courses have now been completed. More than 80,000 times by more than 45,000 unique clinicians.

Speaker #3: Our sleep apnea educational courses have now been completed more than 80,000 times by more than 45,000 unique clinicians. Surveys at the end of these courses show that 78% of these providers intend to change their clinical practices related to improving sleep health and breathing health based on what they learned.

Mick Farrell: Surveys at the end of these courses show that 78% of these providers intend to change their clinical practices related to improving sleep health and breathing health based on what they learned. We're following up with these clinicians to ensure that their intentions can translate into actions that benefit patients on their screening, diagnosis, and prescription journey. Early feedback suggests more patients being assessed for OSA and higher numbers of OSA diagnoses are occurring. We see this in our VirtuOx numbers as well. We will remain laser-focused on continuous improvement of the sleep apnea pathway to ensure patients who need CPAP, APAP, and bilevel therapy can readily access it and be treated for life. On the clinical research front, we continue to invest in and track important studies that provide new evidence in sleep health.

Speaker #3: On the clinical research front, we continue to invest in and track important studies that provide new evidence in sleep health. Last quarter, I noted a study in JAMA Neurology where researchers found that early treatment of OSA with CPAP may reduce the risk of developing Parkinson's disease.

Mick Farrell: Last quarter, I noted a study in JAMA Neurology, where researchers found that early treatment of OSA with CPAP may reduce the risk of developing Parkinson's disease. Further in the field of neurology and brain health, we are tracking an increased volume of clinical literature showing that sleep apnea is linked to higher risks of Alzheimer's disease, as well as the broader field of dementia. Specifically, a large population-based study recently published in the medical journal Thorax analyzed data from more than 2 million adults in the United Kingdom and found that obstructive sleep apnea was associated with an increased risk of all-cause dementia and vascular dementia. Notably, individuals with OSA who were treated with CPAP and did not show an elevated risk of dementia compared with matched controls that did not have CPAP treatment. This is huge.

Speaker #3: This is huge. Additionally, a meta-analysis published in the Journal Geroscience showed that individuals with apnea have a 33% higher risk of developing dementia and OSA was associated with a 45% increased risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Mick Farrell: Additionally, a meta-analysis published in the journal GeroScience showed that individuals with apnea have a 33% higher risk of developing dementia, and OSA was associated with a 45% increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. The growing body of evidence supports increased focus on screening, diagnosis, and treatment of sleep apnea as part of broader health and aging strategies. This is an area of rising cost and rising relevance for payers, providers, healthcare systems, patients, as well as their caregivers and loved ones. On the GLP-1 front, I'd like to share some new data with you. We looked at patients on PAP who subsequently start GLP-1 therapy to see what happened to their PAP use versus a control group that only has PAP therapy.

Speaker #3: For this real-world analysis, we analyzed a cohort of N equals 1.7 million de-identified patient records and focused on the clinical and business-relevant outcome of mask and accessory resupply.

Mick Farrell: For this real-world analysis, we analyzed a cohort of N equals 1.7 million de-identified patient records and focused on the clinical and business-relevant outcome of mask and accessory resupply. Our findings were that PAP patients who subsequently start GLP-1 therapy show higher PAP adherence rates than patients on PAP alone. Specifically, the 2-year resupply rates are 5.1% higher, and the 3-year resupply rates are 6.2% higher for patients who are on PAP and then start GLP-1 therapy versus patients on PAP alone. As highlighted by Eli Lilly's own clinical trials in this space, these two therapies are better together. This makes sense. Sleep apnea risk factors always include age, gender, craniofacial anatomy, as well as weight. OSA, therefore, very often persists after even very significant weight loss and still needs to be treated.

Speaker #3: OSA, therefore, very often persists after even very significant weight loss, and still needs to be treated. CPAP, APAP, and bilevel therapy remain the gold standard for treatment of OSA, and the reason is simple.

Mick Farrell: CPAP, APAP, and bilevel therapy remain the gold standard for treatment of OSA, and the reason is simple: because these therapies are the most efficacious, period. Building on our ongoing real-world analyses in this space and the ongoing growth of our own mask and accessories business over the last number of quarters and years, we continue to see that patients on a GLP-1 both initiate CPAP therapy more and stay on CPAP therapy longer. As an update to our ongoing large-scale claims analysis data that is built from a claims database of over 30 million patients, our specifically analyzed cohort includes N equals 2.1 million de-identified patients.

Speaker #3: As an update to our ongoing large-scale claims analysis data, that is built from a claims database of over 30 million patients, our specifically analyzed cohort includes N equals 2.1 million de-identified patients.

Speaker #3: Our latest update to this analysis is that we are consistently seeing that patients who have scripts for both PAP and GLP-1 are approximately 11% more likely to start on PAP therapy than patients who have a script for PAP alone.

Mick Farrell: Our latest update to this analysis is that we are consistently seeing that patients who have scripts for both PAP and GLP-1 are approximately 11% more likely to start on PAP therapy than patients who have a script for PAP alone. They are also more than 3% more likely to have a resupply event at the 1-year time period and more than 6% more likely to have a resupply event at the 3-year time period. These data have remained consistent over the last years, as have our very strong masks and accessories business growth. The data are in sync. We believe GLP-1s are truly a mega-trend and a once-in-a-generation demand gen opportunity for ResMed. Both GLP-1s and wearables alike are driving more patients to talk with their doctors, and ultimately, we believe this will lead to more patients coming into the ResMed ecosystem.

Brett Sandercock: As Mick discussed, we have entered into an agreement to acquire Noctrix Health for consideration of $340 million, which we expect to close on 1 June 2026. We will include Noctrix Health in our group results from the closing date. The current annual revenue run rate for Noctrix is approximately $24 million, and we'll report this revenue within our America's devices category. For Q4 FY 2026, we expect Noctrix Health to reduce non-GAAP EPS by approximately $0.02. Today, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.60 per share. During the quarter, we repurchased approximately 673,000 shares under our previously authorized share buyback program for consideration of $175 million. We plan to purchase shares to at least the value of $175 million during the Q4 of fiscal year 2026.

Speaker #2: For Q4 FY26, we expect Noctrix Health to reduce non-GAAP EPS by approximately 2 cents. Today, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of 60 cents per share.

Speaker #2: During the quarter, we repurchased approximately $673,000 shares under our previously authorized share buyback program for consideration of $175 million. We plan to purchase shares to at least the value of $175 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026.

Speaker #2: In addition to returning capital to shareholders through a dividend share buyback program, we will continue to invest in growth through R&D and tuck in acquisitions.

Brett Sandercock: In addition to returning capital to shareholders through our dividend share buyback program, we will continue to invest in growth through R&D and tuck-in acquisitions. Finally, as you know, this is my last earnings call ahead of my retirement, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support over many years. For me, it has truly been a great honor and privilege to have worked for our investors over the last two decades. I will continue to be a huge advocate for the great company that ResMed is. Thank you so much. With that, I will hand the call back to Daryl.

Speaker #1: Our first question comes from the line of David Bailey with Morgan Stanley. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker #3: Good morning, Mick. Morning, Brett. Reduced component costs have been supportive of gross margins over the past couple of years. I wonder if you could please talk to some of the changes you're seeing in component costs and freight at the moment, and maybe also reference any contracting or supply chain changes you've made post-COVID and the volatility we've seen in more recent years.

David Bailey: Morning, Mick. Morning, Brett. Reduced component cost has been supportive of gross margins over the past couple of years. I wonder if you could please talk to some of the changes you're seeing in component costs and freight at the moment, and maybe also reference any contracting or supply chain changes you've made post-COVID and the volatility we've seen in more recent years.

David Bailey: Morning, Mick. Morning, Brett. Reduced component cost has been supportive of gross margins over the past couple of years. I wonder if you could please talk to some of the changes you're seeing in component costs and freight at the moment, and maybe also reference any contracting or supply chain changes you've made post-COVID and the volatility we've seen in more recent years.

Mick Farrell: Yeah. Thanks, David. I'll go first and maybe hand to Brett to talk about sort of broader gross margin implications. David, it's a very good question. Obviously, we're seeing some geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East and impacting fuel rates potentially with oil and gas supply. One thing, you know, and the good news for ResMed in terms of our logistics is we go across the Pacific Ocean on sea freight through the Panama Canal to East Coast, and we're not seeing any impacts from that geopolitical uncertainty impacting our core supply chain. As you said, you know, there are impacts on fuel, and we've done a very good job of going from air freight to a very vast majority of our work on sea freight.

Mick Farrell: Yeah. Thanks, David. I'll go first and maybe hand to Brett to talk about sort of broader gross margin implications. David, it's a very good question. Obviously, we're seeing some geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East and impacting fuel rates potentially with oil and gas supply. One thing, you know, and the good news for ResMed in terms of our logistics is we go across the Pacific Ocean on sea freight through the Panama Canal to East Coast, and we're not seeing any impacts from that geopolitical uncertainty impacting our core supply chain. As you said, you know, there are impacts on fuel, and we've done a very good job of going from air freight to a very vast majority of our work on sea freight.

Speaker #4: Yeah, thanks, David. I'll go first and maybe hand to Brett to talk about sort of broader gross margin implications. But David, it's a very good question.

Speaker #4: Obviously, we're seeing some geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East and impacting fuel rates, potentially with oil and gas supply. One thing, and the good news for ResMed in terms of our logistics, is we go across the Pacific Ocean on sea freight through the Panama Canal to the East Coast, and we're not seeing any impacts from that geopolitical uncertainty impacting our core supply chain.

Speaker #4: But as you said, there are impacts on fuel and we've done a very good job of going from air freight to a very, very vast majority of our work on sea freight.

Mick Farrell: There are some component costs we're looking at. I can tell you our pipeline of supply chain improvement opportunities is such that at this moment we're not changing our guidance, which is that ResMed plans to have gross margin accretion through 2030 and double-digit basis points improvements each year from here to 2030, even amidst all the changes that are happening. Obviously, these changes happen daily and things continue to move and we'll watch everything. At this point, we still, as you saw, had very good gross margin accretion in the quarter to quarter and year on year. We expect as we look to FY 2027, 2028, 2029, all the way through 2030, to be able to, through our great pipeline of work, to still achieve gross margin accretion.

Mick Farrell: There are some component costs we're looking at. I can tell you our pipeline of supply chain improvement opportunities is such that at this moment we're not changing our guidance, which is that ResMed plans to have gross margin accretion through 2030 and double-digit basis points improvements each year from here to 2030, even amidst all the changes that are happening.

We expect as we look to FY 2027, 2028, 2029, all the way through 2030, to be able to, through our great pipeline of work, to still achieve gross margin accretion.

Speaker #4: But there are some component costs we're looking at. I can tell you our pipeline of supply chain improvement opportunities is such that at this moment, we're not changing our guidance, which is that ResMed plans to have gross margin accretion, yeah, through 2030 and double-digit basis points improvements each year from here to 2030.

Speaker #4: Even amidst all the changes that are happening, obviously, these changes happen daily and things continue to move, and we'll watch everything. But at this point, we still, as you saw, had very good gross margin accretion in the quarter-to-quarter and year-on-year, and we expect, as we look to FY27, '28, '29, all the way through 2030, to be able to, through our great pipeline of work, to still achieve gross margin accretion.

Mick Farrell: It is more difficult, given the geopolitical and external circumstances. With that, Brett, I'm not sure I left you much to go with there, but any thoughts?

Mick Farrell: It is more difficult, given the geopolitical and external circumstances. With that, Brett, I'm not sure I left you much to go with there, but any thoughts?

Speaker #4: It is more difficult given the geopolitical and external circumstances. So with that, Brett, I'm not sure I left you much to go with there, but any thoughts?

Brett Sandercock: No, you covered it well, Mick. I mean, look, the team's done a pretty good job over the last few years on components and improvements there. It gets tougher obviously in this environment. Realistically, we'll see some cost inflation on components coming through. If you think about it, Mick talked about that pro-productivity pipeline. There's a lot of other things you can do that will, you know, that can offset that. We've got, you know, think about the platform standardization, scale benefits, the vendor management, which we've done a great job on some longer term contracts and improving those enormously and improving resilience as well. Then think around execution on manufacturing.

Brett Sandercock: No, you covered it well, Mick. I mean, look, the team's done a pretty good job over the last few years on components and improvements there. It gets tougher obviously in this environment. Realistically, we'll see some cost inflation on components coming through. If you think about it, Mick talked about that pro-productivity pipeline. There's a lot of other things you can do that will, you know, that can offset that. We've got, you know, think about the platform standardization, scale benefits, the vendor management, which we've done a great job on some longer term contracts and improving those enormously and improving resilience as well. Then think around execution on manufacturing.

Speaker #3: No, you covered it well, Mick, but yeah, I mean, look, we've done the team's done a pretty good job over the last few years on components and improvements there.

Speaker #3: I guess it gets tougher, obviously, in this environment, and realistically, we'll see some cost inflation on components coming through. But if you think about it, and Mick talked about that productivity pipeline, there's a lot of other things you can do that will that can offset that, and we've got think about the platform standardization, scale benefits, the vendor management, which we've done a great job on, some longer-term contracts, and improving those enormously and improving resilience as well.

Speaker #3: And then think around execution on manufacturing. There's cycle times, there's asset utilization, logistics efficiencies, freight optimization. So there's many things that we can do that we think we can certainly offset that and still our long-term our long-term objective is to increase that gross margin over time.

Brett Sandercock: There's cycle time, there's asset utilization, logistics, efficiencies, freight optimization. There's many things that we can do, that we think we, you know, we can certainly offset that. Still our long term, you know, our long term objective is to increase that gross margin over time.

Brett Sandercock: There's cycle time, there's asset utilization, logistics, efficiencies, freight optimization. There's many things that we can do, that we think we, you know, we can certainly offset that. Still our long term, you know, our long term objective is to increase that gross margin over time.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Steve Wheen with Jarden. Please proceed with your question.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Steve Wheen with Jarden. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Steve Wein with Jardin. Please proceed with your question.

Steve Wheen: Thanks very much. Just a question on Noctrix. Just to confirm, it's growing faster and it's got higher margins. Are you talking to gross margin? Any indication as to what that will do to your SG&A and R&D? The other thing I just wanted to cover off on, how does it get reimbursed, and is there any opportunity for that reimbursement to change over time?

Steve Wheen: Thanks very much. Just a question on Noctrix. Just to confirm, it's growing faster and it's got higher margins. Are you talking to gross margin? Any indication as to what that will do to your SG&A and R&D? The other thing I just wanted to cover off on, how does it get reimbursed, and is there any opportunity for that reimbursement to change over time?

Speaker #5: Thanks very much. Just a question on Noctrix. Just to confirm, it's growing faster, and it's got higher margins. Are you talking to gross margin and any indication as to what that will do to your SG&A and R&D?

Speaker #5: And the other thing I just wanted to cover off on is how does it get reimbursed, and is there any opportunity for that reimbursement to change over time?

Mick Farrell: Yes, Steve, great questions. I'll go first and ask Brett to jump in if he likes. Yeah. Noctrix Health is, they have a very novel technology, Nyedra is the product. It's a non-invasive nerve stim device that has excellent efficacy in treating Restless Legs Syndrome, particularly moderate to severe Restless Legs Syndrome. The current therapies for this RLS are awful. They're pharmaceutical options, old drugs that have many side effects. We think this is a huge opportunity for a non-invasive medical device, with sleep doctors writing the prescriptions, HMEs setting them up. It is growing faster than ResMed and has higher gross margins than ResMed. Obviously, they're in the early development cycle, we will be investing in R&D.

Mick Farrell: Yes, Steve, great questions. I'll go first and ask Brett to jump in if he likes. Yeah. Noctrix Health is, they have a very novel technology, Nyedra is the product. It's a non-invasive nerve stim device that has excellent efficacy in treating Restless Legs Syndrome, particularly moderate to severe Restless Legs Syndrome. The current therapies for this RLS are awful. They're pharmaceutical options, old drugs that have many side effects. We think this is a huge opportunity for a non-invasive medical device, with sleep doctors writing the prescriptions, HMEs setting them up. It is growing faster than ResMed and has higher gross margins than ResMed. Obviously, they're in the early development cycle, we will be investing in R&D.

Speaker #4: Yeah, Steve, great questions. And I'll go first and ask Brett to jump in if he likes. Yeah, Noctrix Health is they have a very novel technology in Nidra, is the product.

Speaker #4: It's a non-invasive nerve stim device that has excellent efficacy. In treating restless leg syndrome, particularly moderate to severe restless leg syndrome, and the current therapies for this are awful.

Speaker #4: They're pharmaceutical options, old drugs that have many side effects, and we think this is a huge opportunity for a non-invasive medical device with sleep doctors writing the prescriptions, HME setting them up.

Speaker #4: So it is growing faster than ResMed and has higher gross margins than ResMed. Obviously, they're in the early development cycle, and we will be investing in R&D, and we will be investing in sales and marketing.

Mick Farrell: We will be investing in sales and marketing. I don't know, Brett, how deep you wanna go into the details of the P&L there, but I'll let you review that. I'll just say this at a high level. This isn't just about one product coming into the sleep health portfolio for ResMed. We're the best owner of this asset. We can scale it faster than anyone. Our market access team and our knowledge of CMS, the DMACs, the DMEs, and actually where we can go to drive reimbursement further is gonna be incredible. I can tell you, though, that the startup team from Noctrix Health has done a great job of going payer by payer and getting reimbursement and getting this FDA De Novo classified product into the market quickly.

Mick Farrell: We will be investing in sales and marketing. I don't know, Brett, how deep you wanna go into the details of the P&L there, but I'll let you review that. I'll just say this at a high level. This isn't just about one product coming into the sleep health portfolio for ResMed. We're the best owner of this asset. We can scale it faster than anyone.

Speaker #4: I don't know Brett, how deep you want to go into the details of the P&L there, but I'll let you review that. But I'll just say this at a high level.

Speaker #4: This isn't just about one product coming into the sleep health portfolio for ResMed. We're the best owner of this asset. We can scale it faster than anyone.

Speaker #4: Our market access team and our knowledge of CMS, the DMACs, the DMEs, and actually where we can go to drive reimbursement further is going to be incredible.

Speaker #4: I can tell you, though, that the startup team from Noctrix Health has done a great job of going payer by payer and getting reimbursement and getting this FDA de novo classified product into the market quickly.

Mick Farrell: Brett told you the run rate that they're hitting on the current quarter and multiply that by 4. We're gonna expect to do better than that as they go into this year because they're growing faster than ResMed, as I said earlier. Watch this space. We're gonna help them get more market access, more reimbursement, and grow faster than they are. It's gonna be a great team. Most importantly, we're gonna take care of a whole bunch of patients. 7% of the adult population worldwide has RLS, and just where this product right now is, it focused on the US, 17 million people have RLS, and a very good portion of that are potentially addressable by this product. Watch this space.

Mick Farrell: Brett told you the run rate that they're hitting on the current quarter and multiply that by . We're gonna expect to do better than that as they go into this year because they're growing faster than ResMed, as I said earlier. Watch this space. We're gonna help them get more market access, more reimbursement, and grow faster than they are. It's gonna be a great team. Most importantly, we're gonna take care of a whole bunch of patients. 7% of the adult population worldwide has RLS, and just where this product right now is, it focused on the U.S, 17 million people have RLS, and a very good portion of that are potentially addressable by this product. Watch this space.

Speaker #4: Brett told you the run rate that they're hitting on the current quarter, and multiply that by four. We're going to expect to do better than that as they go into this year, because they're growing faster than ResMed, as I said earlier.

Speaker #4: So watch this space. We're going to help them get more market access, more reimbursement, and grow faster than they are. And it's going to be a great team.

Speaker #4: And most importantly, we're going to take care of a whole bunch of patients: 7% of the adult population worldwide has RLS, and just where this product right now is focused on the US, 17 million people have RLS.

Speaker #4: And a very good portion of that are potentially addressable by this product. So, watch this space. Brett, any further thoughts to Steve's questions further down the P&L of Noctrix Health?

Mick Farrell: Brett, any further thoughts to Steve's questions further down the P&L of Noctrix Health?

Mick Farrell: Brett, any further thoughts to Steve's questions further down the P&L of Noctrix Health?

Brett Sandercock: Yeah. I mean, the only thing I'd add is it's a strong growth trajectory, so we'll continue to invest in SG&A and R&D, Steve, so we'll certainly be doing that. Probably the guidance I gave earlier on EPS impact or EPS dilution is it would probably be a good kind of estimate as we go forward. Obviously, we'll update that with a bit more clarity next quarter.

Brett Sandercock: Yeah. I mean, the only thing I'd add is it's a strong growth trajectory, so we'll continue to invest in SG&A and R&D, Steve, so we'll certainly be doing that. Probably the guidance I gave earlier on EPS impact or EPS dilution is it would probably be a good kind of estimate as we go forward. Obviously, we'll update that with a bit more clarity next quarter.

Speaker #3: Yeah, I mean, the only thing I'd add is it's a strong growth trajectory, so we'll continue to invest in SG&A and R&D, Steve. So we'll certainly be doing that.

Speaker #3: And then probably the guidance I gave earlier, on EPS impact or EPS dilution, is it would probably be a good kind of estimate as we go forward.

Speaker #3: But obviously, we'll update that with a bit more clarity next quarter.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Saul Hadassin with Barrenjoey. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Saul Haddison with Barron Joey. Please proceed with your question.

Saul Hadassin: Thanks very much. Good morning. Good afternoon, Mick and Brett. Mick, maybe just a question on combined Europe-Asia revenue growth. Again, another quarter of strong growth. It's now several quarters in a row that you've delivered robust growth rates, particularly in masks. I'm just wondering, is this the same measures that you've spoken to in the last few quarters that's driving that growth that looks to be above market? Any color you can give us on particular contracts or countries, lumpiness in sales? Just some color as to what's driving that strong growth rate, please.

Saul Hadassin: Thanks very much. Good morning. Good afternoon, Mick and Brett. Mick, maybe just a question on combined Europe-Asia revenue growth. Again, another quarter of strong growth. It's now several quarters in a row that you've delivered robust growth rates, particularly in masks. I'm just wondering, is this the same measures that you've spoken to in the last few quarters that's driving that growth that looks to be above market? Any color you can give us on particular contracts or countries, lumpiness in sales? Just some color as to what's driving that strong growth rate, please.

Speaker #5: Thanks very much. And good morning, good afternoon, Mick and Brett. Mick, maybe just a question on combined Europe, Asia revenue growth. Again, another quarter of strong growth.

Speaker #5: It's now several quarters in a row that you've delivered robust growth rates, particularly in masks. I'm just wondering, is this the same measures that you've spoken to in the last few quarters that's driving that growth that looks to be above market?

Speaker #5: Any color you can give us on particular contracts or countries' lumpiness in sales? Just some color as to what's driving that strong growth rate, please.

Mick Farrell: Yeah. Saul, it's a great question. As you know, our Europe, Asia, and rest of world category includes, like, 140 countries and, your question is sort of looking for highlights. I mean, look, I'll say this, I think our team in Western Europe have done a good job of partnering with our home care provider customers. In markets in Northern Europe, where we've been able to, you know, achieve and continue on, contracts with ongoing, annual capabilities and growth. They've done well there. Also in our Asia-Pacific markets, we've seen some really good sort of omni-channel approach in China, Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, where the teams have got subscription protocols, direct-to-consumer sort of, resupply opportunities.

Mick Farrell: Yeah. Saul, it's a great question. As you know, our Europe, Asia, and rest of world category includes, like, 140 countries and, your question is sort of looking for highlights. I mean, look, I'll say this, I think our team in Western Europe have done a good job of partnering with our home care provider customers. In markets in Northern Europe, where we've been able to, you know, achieve and continue on, contracts with ongoing, annual capabilities and growth. They've done well there. Also in our Asia-Pacific markets, we've seen some really good sort of omni-channel approach in China, Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, where the teams have got subscription protocols, direct-to-consumer sort of, resupply opportunities.

Speaker #4: Yeah, Saul, it's a great question. And as you know, our Europe, Asia, and rest of world category includes like 140 countries. And but your question sort of looking for highlights.

Speaker #4: I mean, look, I'll say this. I think our team in Western Europe have done a good job of partnering with our home care provider customers and in markets in Northern Europe where we've been able to achieve and continue on contracts with ongoing annual capabilities and growth.

Speaker #4: They've done well there. But also in our Asia-Pacific markets, we've seen some really good sort of omnichannel approach in China, Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, where the teams have got subscription protocols direct to consumer sort of resupply opportunities.

Mick Farrell: In the omni channels, you know, leveraging the home medical equipment and home care provider channel as well to drive resupply as well as rePAP. You know, we talk about mid-single-digit growth in devices and a high single-digit growth in masks as being the general market. To your point, robust mask growth, it looks like we're taking share. If you're asking me why we're taking share and growing the market in the masks, I would look to the AirTouch N30i, our brand-new fabric technology mask. It's the first in the world where you can put fabric on top of silicone at scale and mass production from a world-leading company in the field of sleep apnea.

Mick Farrell: In the omni channels, you know, leveraging the home medical equipment and home care provider channel as well to drive resupply as well as rePAP. You know, we talk about mid-single-digit growth in devices and a high single-digit growth in masks as being the general market. To your point, robust mask growth, it looks like we're taking share. If you're asking me why we're taking share and growing the market in the masks, I would look to the AirTouch N30i, our brand-new fabric technology mask. It's the first in the world where you can put fabric on top of silicone at scale and mass production from a world-leading company in the field of sleep apnea.

Speaker #4: And in the omnichannels, leveraging the home medical equipment and home care provider channel as well to drive resupply as well as re-PAP. And so we talk about mid-single-digit growth in devices and high-single-digit growth in masks as being the general market.

Speaker #4: And to your point, robust mask growth that looks like we're taking share. If you're asking me why we're taking share and growing the market in the masks, I would look to the AirTouch N30i.

Speaker #4: Our brand new fabric technology mask. It's the first in the world where you can put fabric on top of silicone at scale and mass production from a world-leading company in the field of sleep apnea.

Mick Farrell: As I said in my prep remarks, this is changing the basis of competition, and it's not just about the N30i and the most recently released ones. We just launched the F30i Comfort and the F30i Clear in the full face category, which is a higher margin area. I think this changes the basis of competition, period, in how mask therapy happens. Go do your channel checks, talk to patients, talk to providers, talk to respiratory therapists who do the setup every day. The comfort's incredible. That's how I think we're achieving that. On the devices side, look, I think we are leveraging some of these sort of macro things in our favor from big pharma and big tech, but also ResMed's doing a better job.

Mick Farrell: As I said in my prep remarks, this is changing the basis of competition, and it's not just about the N30i and the most recently released ones. We just launched the F30i Comfort and the F30i Clear in the full face category, which is a higher margin area. I think this changes the basis of competition, period, in how mask therapy happens.

Speaker #4: I think this changes the basis of competition, period, in how mask therapy happens. Go do your channel checks. Talk to patients. Talk to providers.

Speaker #4: Talk to respiratory therapists who do the setup every day. The Comfort's incredible. That's how I think we're achieving that. On the devices side, look, I think we are leveraging some of these sort of macro things in our favor from Big Pharma and Big Tech, but also ResMed's doing a better job.

Mick Farrell: We've set up repap programs that are getting out there and working in the US and even in the tougher markets of Europe, Asia, rest of the world. It's a great question, Saul, and hard to cover 140 countries in 3 or 4 minutes there, I hope I did an okay job.

Mick Farrell: We've set up repap programs that are getting out there and working in the US and even in the tougher markets of Europe, Asia, rest of the world. It's a great question, Saul, and hard to cover 140 countries in 3 or 4 minutes there, I hope I did an okay job.

Speaker #4: We've set up repap programs that are getting out there and working in the US, and even in the tougher markets of Europe, Asia, rest of the world.

Speaker #4: So it's a great question, Saul. And hard to cover 140 countries in three or four minutes there, but I hope I did an okay job.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of David Lowe with UBS. Please proceed with your question.

David Low: Thanks very much for taking my question. Mick, you mentioned channel checks. We're increasingly hearing about The change in funding models, particularly Synapse, comes up from time to time and, you know, some caution amongst the DME customers of yours that this is gonna be a challenge. Just wondering what you're seeing on that front. Is there any trends that concern you?

David Low: Thanks very much for taking my question. Mick, you mentioned channel checks. We're increasingly hearing about The change in funding models, particularly Synapse, comes up from time to time and, you know, some caution amongst the DME customers of yours that this is gonna be a challenge. Just wondering what you're seeing on that front. Is there any trends that concern you?

Speaker #5: Thanks very much for taking my question. Mick, you mentioned channel checks. If we're increasingly hearing about the change in funding models, particularly Synapse comes up from time to time, and some caution amongst the DME customers of yours that this is going to be a challenge.

Speaker #5: Just wondering what you're seeing on that front. Is there any trends that concern you?

Mick Farrell: Yeah, David, thanks. It's a very interesting question because it sort of gets us to talk about the evolution of our US HME business. We had what we call our HME advisory board just here in San Diego with a bunch of HME, top HME customers across the US, and they were talking with our team, our commercial teams in sales, marketing, and clinical and saying what they want over the next 1, 3, 5 years and what they're seeing that their customers, the patients want to see. You know, smaller, quieter, more comfortable devices, more cloud-connected devices. They also want smoother pathways and all the work we're doing with our VirtuOx home sleep apnea testing protocols and our Ectosense and Nidra home sleep testing products to sort of smooth the channel and middle-of-funnel work, right?

Mick Farrell: Yeah, David, thanks. It's a very interesting question because it sort of gets us to talk about the evolution of our U.S. HME business. We had what we call our HME advisory board just here in San Diego with a bunch of HME, top HME customers across the U.S, and they were talking with our team, our commercial teams in sales, marketing, and clinical and saying what they want over the next 1, 3, 5 years and what they're seeing that their customers, the patients want to see.

They also want smoother pathways and all the work we're doing with our VirtuOx home sleep apnea testing protocols and our Ectosense and Nidra home sleep testing products to sort of smooth the channel and middle-of-funnel work, right?

Speaker #4: Yeah, David, thanks. It's a very interesting question because it sort of gets us to talk about the evolution of our US HME business. And we had what we call our HME advisory board just here in San Diego with a bunch of HME top HME customers across the US, and they were talking with our team, our commercial teams, and sales and marketing and clinical and saying what they want over the next one, three, five years.

Speaker #4: And what they're seeing that their customers, the patients, want to see. Smaller, quieter, more comfortable devices, more cloud-connected devices. And they also want smoother pathways and all the work we're doing with our virtual ops, home sleep apnea testing protocols, and our ectosensor night owl, home sleep testing products to sort of smooth the channel.

Speaker #4: And middle of funnel work, right? From that prescription to setup. They want help with that. They did also bring up questions around the Synapse and what they're doing in their experiments.

Mick Farrell: From that prescription to setup. They want help with that. They did also bring up questions around Synapse and, you know, what they're doing in their experiments. You know, I gave them the perspective that, look, over the last 15 years, including 10 years ago when I was running, or maybe it was 15 years ago, I was running the US market and a company called CareCentrix was coming out and doing this exact thing of looking to do utilization management in the field. I think ultimately, UnitedHealth bought them. Look, you know, if you're looking at areas of waste and loss in the healthcare system, I think you go to the hospital.

Mick Farrell: From that prescription to setup. They want help with that. They did also bring up questions around Synapse and, you know, what they're doing in their experiments. You know, I gave them the perspective that, look, over the last 15 years, including 10 years ago when I was running, or maybe it was 15 years ago, I was running the U.S. Market and a company called CareCentrix was coming out and doing this exact thing of looking to do utilization management in the field. I think ultimately, UnitedHealth bought them. Look, you know, if you're looking at areas of waste and loss in the healthcare system, I think you go to the hospital.

Speaker #4: I gave them their perspective that, look, over the last 15 years, including 10 years ago when I was running or maybe it was 15 years ago I was running the US market, and a company called Kessentrix was coming out and doing this exact thing of looking to do utilization management in the field.

Speaker #4: And I think ultimately UnitedHealth bought them. Look, if you're looking at areas of waste and loss in the healthcare system, I think you go to the hospital.

Mick Farrell: You go to these high-cost areas where there's a lot of waste and a lot of reuse of supplies and expensive technologies used when lower cost, lower acuity care like ASCs, outpatient, including home care where ResMed plays are the best play. I don't think this is a huge threat. I think it's just like CareCentrix was a decade ago. It might be something they work on for a while. I think the payers will find that the physicians wanna work with an insurance company that takes care of their patients in the right way. We've had sort of utilization management approaches in France and Germany.

Mick Farrell: You go to these high-cost areas where there's a lot of waste and a lot of reuse of supplies and expensive technologies used when lower cost, lower acuity care like ASCs, outpatient, including home care where ResMed plays are the best play. I don't think this is a huge threat. I think it's just like CareCentrix was a decade ago. It might be something they work on for a while. I think the payers will find that the physicians wanna work with an insurance company that takes care of their patients in the right way. We've had sort of utilization management approaches in France and Germany.

Speaker #4: You go to these high-cost areas where there's a lot of waste. And a lot of reuse of supplies and expensive technologies used when lower-cost, lower-acuity care like ASCs, outpatient, including home care where ResMed plays, are the best play.

Speaker #4: So I don't think this is a huge threat. I think it's just like Kessentrix was a decade ago. It might be something they work on for a while.

Speaker #4: I think the payers will find that the physicians want to work with an insurance company that takes care of their patients in the right way.

Speaker #4: We've had sort of utilization management approaches in France and Germany. And so I gave my US customers, like, we can deal with a segment of the market that will go here, but I think employers physicians and others will choose and get net promoter scores at insurance companies that really take care of the patients.

Mick Farrell: I gave my US customers, like, we can deal with a segment of the market that will go here, but I think employers, physicians and others will choose and get net promoter scores at insurance companies that really take care of the patients. OSA, particularly CPAP, is a very low cost, low acuity, high clinical return and high economic return. You know, we can show the ROI for a payer provider like Kaiser or Intermountain or Geisinger. Even a payer alone looking at models like this, they can see the ROI in net promoter scores, satisfied patients, and reduced ER costs. We're working very closely with the payers to make sure that this forms part of the ecosystem.

Mick Farrell: I gave my U.S. customers, like, we can deal with a segment of the market that will go here, but I think employers, physicians and others will choose and get net promoter scores at insurance companies that really take care of the patients. OSA, particularly CPAP, is a very low cost, low acuity, high clinical return and high economic return. You know, we can show the ROI for a payer provider like Kaiser or Intermountain or Geisinger. Even a payer alone looking at models like this, they can see the ROI in net promoter scores, satisfied patients, and reduced ER costs. We're working very closely with the payers to make sure that this forms part of the ecosystem.

Speaker #4: And OSA, particularly CPAP, is a very low-cost, low-acuity, high clinical return, and high economic return. We can show the ROI for payer-providers like Kaiser, Intermountain, or Geisinger.

Speaker #4: But even a payer alone, looking at models like this, they can see the ROI in net promoter scores, satisfied patients, and reduced costs. So we're working very closely with the payers to make sure that this forms part of the ecosystem.

Mick Farrell: It's not a big fear for the HMEs, and just working with them to understand how this can play out is the right thing to do. Yeah, evolution of pay has happened. I love the US market. I love the competition we have there. We do really well, and we partner really well with our HMEs through all the perturbations that payers look at. I don't think this is a major issue for them, and very manageable.

Mick Farrell: It's not a big fear for the HMEs, and just working with them to understand how this can play out is the right thing to do. Yeah, evolution of pay has happened. I love the U.S. market. I love the competition we have there. We do really well, and we partner really well with our HMEs through all the perturbations that payers look at. I don't think this is a major issue for them, and very manageable.

Speaker #4: It's not a big fear for the HMEs. And just working with them to understand how this can play out is the right thing to do.

Speaker #4: So yeah, evolution of pay has happened. I love the US market. I love the competition we have there. We do really well, and we partner really well with our HMEs through all the perturbations that payers look at.

Speaker #4: I don't think this is a major issue for them in very manageable.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Dan Hurren with MST. Please proceed with your question.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Dan Hurren with MST. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Dan Heeren with MST. Please proceed with your question.

Dan Hurren: Good morning, thanks, and all the best to Brett. I'm sure we'll go into that later. Just on the fabric masks, Mick. Look, I don't think anyone's arguing about the effectiveness and the compliance of these new fabric masks. When we do undertake these channel checks you're recommending, we keep hearing that the price point is such that a traditional HME can't make any profit on either setup or resupply. From a commercial perspective, it kind of makes the compliance benefit irrelevant. Is this correct, or are we hearing the wrong thing?

Dan Hurren: Good morning, thanks, and all the best to Brett. I'm sure we'll go into that later. Just on the fabric masks, Mick. Look, I don't think anyone's arguing about the effectiveness and the compliance of these new fabric masks. When we do undertake these channel checks you're recommending, we keep hearing that the price point is such that a traditional HME can't make any profit on either setup or resupply. From a commercial perspective, it kind of makes the compliance benefit irrelevant. Is this correct, or are we hearing the wrong thing?

Speaker #6: Good morning. Thanks. And all the best to Brett. I'm sure we'll go into it later. But just on the fabric masks, Mick, look, I don't think anyone's arguing about the sexiness and the compliance of these new fabric masks.

Speaker #6: But when we do undertake these channel sex, you're recommending, we keep hearing that the price point is such that a traditional HME can't make any profit on either setup or resupply.

Speaker #6: So from a commercial perspective, it kind of makes the compliance benefit irrelevant. Is this correct? Or are we hearing the wrong thing?

Mick Farrell: Yeah, Dan, it's interesting, and it depends on, you know, there's 50 states and there's probably 5 to 7 payers per state, right? Blue Cross Blue Shield and United's variants and CVS Health, Aetna, et cetera, et cetera. You've got a 250, you know, point matrix, if you like, when you think about payers and what they pay and where the correct price points are. We obviously, you know, we wanna work with all the different models, and we price for what is right in terms of the extra cost that goes into those fabrics, but also the extra value that we see. There's a 6% increase in adherence.

Mick Farrell: Yeah, Dan, it's interesting, and it depends on, you know, there's 50 states and there's probably 5 to 7 payers per state, right? Blue Cross Blue Shield and United's variants and CVS Health, Aetna, et cetera, et cetera. You've got a 250, you know, point matrix, if you like, when you think about payers and what they pay and where the correct price points are. We obviously, you know, we wanna work with all the different models, and we price for what is right in terms of the extra cost that goes into those fabrics, but also the extra value that we see. There's a 6% increase in adherence.

Speaker #4: Yeah, Dan, it's interesting. And it depends on there's 50 states, and there's probably five to seven payers per state, right? Blue Cross Blue Shield and United's variants and CVS Aetna, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker #4: And so you've got a 250 matrix point matrix, if you like, when you think about payers and what they pay and where the correct price points are.

Speaker #4: And we obviously want to work with all the different models. And we price for what is right in terms of the extra cost that goes into those fabrics, but also the extra value that we see.

Speaker #4: There's a 6% increase in adherence. Now, for people who have margin, and there are many parts of the country where there are margin at the current price points of an N30i, that 6% increase in adherence, and they can run the spreadsheet themselves, there is a for-profit reason to put that mask on.

Mick Farrell: Now, for people who have margin, and there are many parts of the country where there are margin at the current price points of an N30i, that 6% increase in adherence, and they can run the spreadsheet themselves. There is a for-profit reason to put that mask on. The most important one, though, is that the patient is satisfied, and it's a better mask. If you get the patient over the line and they love it and it's more comfortable, and there's the potential for the HME and the patient to both be able to do this on a sustainable basis, and that is there in many states and many payers, we're driving that forward. It won't be the case in every state and every payer when you look across it.

Mick Farrell: Now, for people who have margin, and there are many parts of the country where there are margin at the current price points of an N30i, that 6% increase in adherence, and they can run the spreadsheet themselves. There is a for-profit reason to put that mask on. The most important one, though, is that the patient is satisfied, and it's a better mask. If you get the patient over the line and they love it and it's more comfortable, and there's the potential for the HME and the patient to both be able to do this on a sustainable basis, and that is there in many states and many payers, we're driving that forward. It won't be the case in every state and every payer when you look across it.

Speaker #4: The most important one, though, is that the patient is satisfied, and it's a better mask. So if you get the patient over the line, and they love it, and it's more comfortable, and there's the potential for the HME and the patient to both be able to do this on a sustainable basis, and that is there in many states and many payers, we're driving that forward.

Speaker #4: It won't be the case in every state and every payer when you look across it. And so if your channel checks covered some that are below that line, the N30i is above their reimbursement, that's not going to be many parts.

Mick Farrell: If your general checks cover some that are below that line, the N30is are above their reimbursement, that's not gonna be many parts. I would hope that the HMEs will work and help those patients find a way to CPAP.com or EasyBreathe.com and get away if that's the best mask for them. But we work with the HMEs to make sure the economics are in line. For the vast majority, we're able to get those economics to work within the reimbursed environment. Then, you know, as I was saying earlier, in Europe, Asia, Rest of World and the cash markets, it's really price elasticity and assessing that. Patients will pay for comfort in those types of markets.

Mick Farrell: If your general checks cover some that are below that line, the N30is are above their reimbursement, that's not gonna be many parts. I would hope that the HMEs will work and help those patients find a way to CPAP.com or EasyBreathe.com and get away if that's the best mask for them. But we work with the HMEs to make sure the economics are in line. For the vast majority, we're able to get those economics to work within the reimbursed environment. Then, you know, as I was saying earlier, in Europe, Asia, Rest of World and the cash markets, it's really price elasticity and assessing that. Patients will pay for comfort in those types of markets.

Speaker #4: I would hope that the DMEs will work and help those patients find a way to sleepapp.com or easybrief.com and get away if they really that's the best mask for them.

Speaker #4: But we work with the HMEs to make sure the economics are in line we're able to get those economics to work within the reimbursed environment.

Speaker #4: And then as I was saying earlier, in Europase arrest world and the cash markets, it's really priced less just in assessing that. And patients will pay for comfort in those types of markets.

Mick Farrell: In the HME-driven ones and the partnerships we have there, we're trying to make sure the price points are that they make profit across the vast majority of customers. It won't be able to be there for every customer because payers do different things in each state, and different payers within each state do different things as well. We watch that very closely.

Mick Farrell: In the HME-driven ones and the partnerships we have there, we're trying to make sure the price points are that they make profit across the vast majority of customers. It won't be able to be there for every customer because payers do different things in each state, and different payers within each state do different things as well. We watch that very closely.

Speaker #4: But in the HME-driven ones and the partnerships we have there, we're trying to make sure the price points are that they make profit across the vast majority of customers.

Speaker #4: It won't be able to be there for every customer because payers do different things in each state. And different payers within each state do different things as well.

Speaker #4: And we watch that very closely.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Brett Fishman with KeyBank Capital Markets. Please proceed with your question.

Brett Fishbin: Hey, guys. Thank you for taking the question. Just wanted to ask about competitive dynamics in the devices segment, mainly in the US. Just thinking about, you know, one of the competitive launches that took place late in 2025. Was just wondering if you could speak to the level of noise you've observed in the US around that launch, and then if you've seen any level of market share shift and just how you're thinking about that. Thank you so much.

Brett Fishbin: Hey, guys. Thank you for taking the question. Just wanted to ask about competitive dynamics in the devices segment, mainly in the US.

Speaker #5: I was just wondering if you could speak to the level of noise you've observed in the US around that launch and then if you've seen any level of market share shift and just how you're thinking about that.

Speaker #5: Thank you so much.

Mick Farrell: Yeah. Thanks for the question, Brett. Yeah, look, obviously, as the market leader here, we look at every new entrant, every new technology, and, you know, I would say we're productively paranoid at looking at everything that could come up from competition, and we love healthy competition. I can tell you that there's been no launch in the last 12 months that is something we go, Oh, wow, goodness, we didn't think of that. That's, that's extraordinary. That's amazing. What we do look at and say, Hey, team, you know, when's the last time we upgraded our auto set algorithm? You know, it was like a decade ago. There's this new technology called AI.

Mick Farrell: Yeah. Thanks for the question, Brett. Yeah, look, obviously, as the market leader here, we look at every new entrant, every new technology, and, you know, I would say we're productively paranoid at looking at everything that could come up from competition, and we love healthy competition. I can tell you that there's been no launch in the last 12 months that is something we go, Oh, wow, goodness, we didn't think of that. That's, that's extraordinary. That's amazing.

Speaker #4: I can tell you that there's been no launch in the last 12 months that is something we go, oh, wow, goodness, we didn't think of that.

Speaker #4: That's extraordinary. That's amazing. But what we do look at and say, hey, team, when's the last time we upgraded our order set algorithm? It was like a decade ago.

Speaker #4: And there's this new technology, called AI. And so more difficult to adopt in the medical space. And we've already had one FDA-cleared product in the field of AI that we talked about in smart comfort last quarter.

Mick Farrell: More difficult to adopt in the medical space, and we've already had one FDA-cleared product in the field of AI that we talked about in Smart Comfort last quarter. Watch this space from ResMed. We are not looking back at the competition and launches and ideas and algorithms and devices they may launch. We're looking to the future and saying, "What's ResMed gonna do to have smaller, quieter, more comfortable, more cloud-connected, and more intelligent therapies in the space?" We will bring out more intelligent therapies over time. We'll continue to have smaller, quieter, more comfortable, and watch this space on that. Yeah, as you saw in the devices number, very solid in the US, 6% growth, not seeing an impact.

Mick Farrell: More difficult to adopt in the medical space, and we've already had one FDA-cleared product in the field of AI that we talked about in Smart Comfort last quarter.

Speaker #4: And we will bring out more intelligent therapies over time. We'll continue to have smaller, quieter, more comfortable. And watch this space on that. But yeah, as you saw in the devices number, very solid in the US, 6% growth, not seeing an impact.

Mick Farrell: We look at new patient starts, we look at new customer adoption, we look at all the new technologies. Yeah, no new competitive threat that we're worried about. I love using those moments, if you like, in the market to challenge my team to get stuff to market faster, in market faster, and get it from the bench, get it to those clinical trials, and get it to the field when it's quality, regulatory, and through the line that it's ResMed standard, and it's what we do as the market leader in this space. Yeah, watch this space for more algorithms coming from ResMed over the coming quarters and years.

Mick Farrell: We look at new patient starts, we look at new customer adoption, we look at all the new technologies. Yeah, no new competitive threat that we're worried about.

Anthony Petrone: Good evening, everyone. Brett, great working with you and good luck on the next chapter. Maybe one on primary care e-engagement, Mick, on the CME educational program you have. How often does that turn into a new prescriber? How often are these primary care physicians actually new to the CPAP world? They take an educational program, and then they begin writing prescriptions. What's the conversion rate there? Just a quick follow-up would just be any updated chatter on the Philips return to the market. Thanks.

Anthony Petrone: Good evening, everyone. Brett, great working with you and good luck on the next chapter. Maybe one on primary care e-engagement, Mick, on the CME educational program you have.

Speaker #6: How often does that turn into a new prescriber? How often are these primary care physicians actually new to the CPAP world? They take an educational program, and then they begin writing prescriptions.

Speaker #6: So what's the conversion rate there? And just a quick follow-up would just be any updated chatter on the Phillips return to the market. Thanks.

Mick Farrell: Yeah, Anthony, very cheeky to get two questions in there. I'll answer the first one first. PCP engagement. Yeah, 80,000 CME programs out there. 45,000 unique clinicians. We track very closely, without going too much into the depths of our sort of clinical and marketing commercial teams' data, I can tell you that we tend to aim to target through, you know, the ads on Doximity and the Medscape and the work on this CME. We try to target PCPs, primary care physicians, who already are engaged at some level in home sleep apnea testing. It might be, you know, 1 patient re-referred per month over the last 12 months, or it might be 3 or 5 or 7 or some, you know, higher number for some of them.

Mick Farrell: Yeah, Anthony, very cheeky to get two questions in there. I'll answer the first one first. PCP engagement. Yeah, 80,000 CME programs out there. 45,000 unique clinicians. We track very closely, without going too much into the depths of our sort of clinical and marketing commercial teams' data, I can tell you that we tend to aim to target through, you know, the ads on Doximity and the Medscape and the work on this CME. We try to target PCPs, primary care physicians, who already are engaged at some level in home sleep apnea testing. It might be, you know, 1 patient re-referred per month over the last 12 months, or it might be 3 or 5 or 7 or some, you know, higher number for some of them.

Speaker #4: Yeah, Anthony. And very cheeky to get two questions in there. I'll answer the first one first. PCP engagement, yeah, 80,000 CME programs out there, 45,000 unique clinicians.

Speaker #4: We track very closely. And without going too much into the depths of our sort of clinical and marketing commercial team's data, I can tell you that we tend to aim to target through the ads on Doximity and the Medscape and the work on this CME, we try to target PCPs, primary care physicians, who already are engaged at some level in home sleep apnea testing.

Speaker #4: It might be one patient-referred per month over the last 12 months. Or it might be three or five or seven or some higher number for some of them.

Mick Farrell: What we don't wanna do is go and do sort of pure, evangelistic work where somebody just hasn't heard of sleep apnea. We look at someone who's already contacted, whether it's VirtuOx or one of the competitors. We're sort of agnostic to that. We say, Okay, if you've engaged already in home sleep apnea testing and you get this education and you wanna step up, what's the change in volume of referrals? Does it go from 1 sleep apnea referral per month to 3 to 5? Does it go from 5 to 7 to 9? Does it go from 9, et cetera, to 12, 15 referrals per month, per PCP? That's where we look at the volume.

Mick Farrell: What we don't wanna do is go and do sort of pure, evangelistic work where somebody just hasn't heard of sleep apnea.

Speaker #4: And so what we don't want to do is go and do sort of pure evangelistic work with somebody who just hasn't heard of sleep apnea.

Speaker #4: We look at someone who's already contacted, whether it's VirtuOx or one of the competitors. We're sort of agnostic to that. But we say, OK, if you've engaged already in home sleep apnea testing and you get this education and you want to step up, what's the change in volume of referrals?

Speaker #4: Does it go from one sleep apnea referral per month to three to five? Does it go from five to seven to nine? Does it go from nine, et cetera, to 12, 15?

Speaker #4: Referrals per month per PCP. And that's where we look at the volume. If you look at the volume that we released on the data on our VirtuOx, which was double-digit increase in home sleep apnea tests through that VirtuOx thing.

Mick Farrell: If you look at the volume that we released on the data on our Virtuox, which was double-digit increase in home sleep apnea tests through that Virtuox thing. The Virtuox team just had their national sales meeting earlier this week, and I can tell you they're hyped up, and they're ready to go to those PCPs. Watch this space for more partnerships from ResMed to continue that growth in primary care physicians. It's less about brand-new greenfield getting a PCP that never did anything in sleep to suddenly do it after a CME program.

Mick Farrell: If you look at the volume that we released on the data on our Virtuox, which was double-digit increase in home sleep apnea tests through that Virtuox thing. The Virtuox team just had their national sales meeting earlier this week, and I can tell you they're hyped up, and they're ready to go to those PCPs. Watch this space for more partnerships from ResMed to continue that growth in primary care physicians. It's less about brand-new greenfield getting a PCP that never did anything in sleep to suddenly do it after a CME program.

Speaker #4: And the VirtuOx team just had their national sales meeting just earlier this week. And I can tell you they're hyped up. And they're ready watch this space for more partnerships from ResMed to continue that growth in primary care physicians.

Speaker #4: So it's less about brand new Greenfield getting a PCP that never did anything in sleep to suddenly do it after a CME program. It's more about someone who's doing it a little to now knowing more signs and symptoms, the Q&A, the history and physical, the right questions to ask, and then the gold standard therapy that you have an obligation to write for, but also when users directed, is the only one that can 90-plus percent eliminate AHI.

Mick Farrell: It's more about someone who's doing a little to now knowing more signs and symptoms, the Q&A, the history and physical, the right questions to ask, and then the gold standard therapy that you have an obligation to write for, but also, when used as directed, is the only one that can 90-plus percent eliminate AHI. None of the other therapies can do it. Making sure that that's there, we're seeing that work. We're seeing the volumes increase. You see that in our VirtuOx numbers. Frankly, you see it in our device numbers growing at, you know, 6%, where the market might be a little bit below that. We're able to take, I think, create new market growth and then take that share as the market leader.

Mick Farrell: It's more about someone who's doing a little to now knowing more signs and symptoms, the Q&A, the history and physical, the right questions to ask, and then the gold standard therapy that you have an obligation to write for, but also, when used as directed, is the only one that can 90-plus percent eliminate AHI. None of the other therapies can do it. Making sure that that's there, we're seeing that work. We're seeing the volumes increase. You see that in our VirtuOx numbers. Frankly, you see it in our device numbers growing at, you know, 6%, where the market might be a little bit below that. We're able to take, I think, create new market growth and then take that share as the market leader.

Speaker #4: None of the other therapies can do it. And so making sure that that's there we're seeing that work. We're seeing the volumes increase. You see that in our VirtuOx numbers.

Speaker #4: And frankly, you see it in our device numbers growing at 6%, where the market might be a little bit below that. And we're able to, I think, create new market growth and then take that share as the market leader.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Davin Thillainathan with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed with your question.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Davin Thillainathan with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Gavin Philanathan. With Goldman Sachs, please proceed with your question.

Davin Thillainathan: Thanks. Brett, just wanna thank you for all the assistance over the years, and all the best with your new chapter.

Davin Thillainathan: Thanks. Brett, just wanna thank you for all the assistance over the years, and all the best with your new chapter.

Speaker #5: Thanks. Brett, just want to thank you for all the assistance over the years, and all the best with your new chapter. I guess a question on U.S. devices.

Davin Thillainathan: I guess a question on US devices, just given it gets a disproportionate focus with the investment community. Appreciate, mate, that, you know, you tend to talk about mid-single digit growth, and that is what you have achieved. I was just wondering for this particular quarter, some of our channel checks were suggesting some sort of one-off events that may have held back growth, particularly to do with weather events. Just thought I will get your thoughts there and also perhaps your views given the oral GLP-1 rollout, how that part of the portfolio can grow over the next few quarters. Thanks.

Davin Thillainathan: I guess a question on U.S. devices, just given it gets a disproportionate focus with the investment community. Appreciate, mate, that, you know, you tend to talk about mid-single digit growth, and that is what you have achieved. I was just wondering for this particular quarter, some of our channel checks were suggesting some sort of one-off events that may have held back growth, particularly to do with weather events. Just thought I will get your thoughts there and also perhaps your views given the oral GLP-1 rollout, how that part of the portfolio can grow over the next few quarters. Thanks.

Speaker #5: Just given it gets a disproportionate focus with the investment community, appreciate Mick that you tend to talk about mixed single-digit growth. And that's what you have achieved.

Speaker #5: But I was just wondering, for this particular quarter, some of our channel checks were suggesting some sort of one-off events that may have held back growth, particularly to do with weather events.

Speaker #5: Just thought I'll get your thoughts there. And also perhaps your views given the oral GLP-1 rollout. How that part of the portfolio can grow over the next few quarters.

Speaker #5: Thanks.

Mick Farrell: Yeah, Gavin, it's an interesting question because, well, firstly, on the first part, we really, I mean, there were weather impacts in some parts of the Midwest with some tornadoes and things, but we really didn't see a major weather event that has impacted our US devices in the quarter. We did talk about seasonality from our Q2 to our Q3, and you saw that in some of the numbers where high deductible health plans and health savings accounts from our Q2 numbers were, I think it was more like 7% or 8% growth in devices in our Q2, and it went to 6% here in our Q3. Some seasonality there, but no, not weather-related.

Mick Farrell: Yeah, Davin, it's an interesting question because, well, firstly, on the first part, we really, I mean, there were weather impacts in some parts of the Midwest with some tornadoes and things, but we really didn't see a major weather event that has impacted our U.S. devices in the quarter. We did talk about seasonality from our Q2 to our Q3, and you saw that in some of the numbers where high deductible health plans and health savings accounts from our Q2 numbers were, I think it was more like 7% or 8% growth in devices in our Q2, and it went to 6% here in our Q3. Some seasonality there, but no, not weather-related.

Speaker #4: Yeah, Gavin, it's an interesting question because, well, firstly, on the first part, we really I mean, there were weather impacts in some parts of the Midwest with some tornadoes and things.

Speaker #4: But we really didn't see a major weather event that has impacted our US devices. And in the quarter, we did talk about seasonality from our Q2 to our Q3.

Speaker #4: And you saw that in some of the numbers where high deductible health plans and health savings accounts from our Q2 numbers were, I think it was more like seven or 8% growth in devices in our Q2.

Speaker #4: And it went to 6% here in our Q3. So some seasonality there. But no, not weather-related. And I would actually argue that, yeah, mid-single digits, 4, 5, or 6, but we're at the high end of that at 6% growth in devices.

Mick Farrell: I would actually argue that, mid-single digits, 4, 5 or 6, but we're at the high end of that at 6% growth in devices. We're doing pretty well. Look, what I will say is, to your question about leveraging GLP-1 pills versus the 2, 3 years now of an IFU for an injectable GLP-1 with Zepbound in the field. Look, we're seeing a good flow of patients into primary care, a good flow of patients into that diagnostics funnel. The conversion of getting that CPAP set up, that sort of middle of funnel work, there's a lot more work ResMed can do. That's why we bought Somnoware. That's why we bought VirtuOx, and that's why we bought the capability for Nidra to help with that flow.

Mick Farrell: I would actually argue that, mid-single digits, 4, 5 or 6, but we're at the high end of that at 6% growth in devices. We're doing pretty well. Look, what I will say is, to your question about leveraging GLP-1 pills versus the 2, 3 years now of an IFU for an injectable GLP-1 with Zepbound in the field. Look, we're seeing a good flow of patients into primary care, a good flow of patients into that diagnostics funnel. The conversion of getting that CPAP set up, that sort of middle of funnel work, there's a lot more work ResMed can do. That's why we bought Somnoware. That's why we bought VirtuOx, and that's why we bought the capability for Nidra to help with that flow.

Speaker #4: We're doing pretty well. Look, what I will say is to your question about leveraging GLP-1 pills versus the 2, 3 years now of an IFU for an injectable, GLP-1 with Zepbound in the field, we're seeing a good flow of patients in a primary care, a good flow of patients into that diagnostics funnel that conversion of getting that CPAP set up, that sort of middle-of-funnel work, there's a lot more work ResMed can do.

Speaker #4: That's why we bought Somnaware. That's why we bought the VirtuOx. And that's why we bought the capability for Nidel to help with that flow.

Mick Farrell: Also the partnership we have with our HMEs to deal with the higher volumes and sometimes virtual referrals that come from primary care physicians versus other traditional channels that they might get self-referral from a sleep physician. We're watching it carefully. Our goal every quarter is to say, look, if it's sitting at 5%, how do we drive that up 50, 75, 100 basis points to hit 6% like we did this quarter? We're not gonna be able to do it every quarter, but when we can, where we get the demand gen, the capture, the curation, we can make it happen. The team made it happen this quarter. I'm very proud of them. You know, we're revving up for the next one.

Mick Farrell: Also the partnership we have with our HMEs to deal with the higher volumes and sometimes virtual referrals that come from primary care physicians versus other traditional channels that they might get self-referral from a sleep physician. We're watching it carefully. Our goal every quarter is to say, look, if it's sitting at 5%, how do we drive that up 50, 75, 100 basis points to hit 6% like we did this quarter? We're not gonna be able to do it every quarter, but when we can, where we get the demand gen, the capture, the curation, we can make it happen. The team made it happen this quarter. I'm very proud of them. You know, we're revving up for the next one.

Speaker #4: And also the partnership we have with our HMEs to deal with the higher volumes and sometimes virtual referrals that come from primary care physicians versus other traditional channels that they might get self-referral from a sleep physician.

Speaker #4: So we're watching it carefully. Our goal every quarter is to say, look, if it's sitting at 5%, how do we drive that up? 50%, 75%, 100 basis points to hit 6% like we did this quarter?

Speaker #4: We're not going to be able to do it every quarter. But when we can, where we get the demand gen, the capture, the curation, we can make it happen.

Speaker #4: And the team made it happen this quarter. And I'm very proud of them. And we're revving up for the next one. And more importantly, looking at the next 1, 3, 5 years, to the last point I'll make on this is, yeah, as you go from those injectables to the pills, it'll be a broader population that they'll be appealing to.

Mick Farrell: More importantly, looking at the next 1, 3, 5 years to the last point I'll make on this is, yeah, as you go from those injectables to the pills, it'll be a broader population that they'll be appealing to. Some people just have this psychological thing about putting a needle into them. I think more patients will come through on that. Yeah, this once in a generation demand opportunity, I think from GLP-1s, bringing patients in and the advertising that Big Pharma is gonna do, I think it's more of like a 1, 3, 5-year tailwind for us versus, you know, 1, 3, 5 quarter. So we're looking at the marathon here and we're looking at this kilometer marker for the metric system, people, or mile marker for the US folks.

Mick Farrell: More importantly, looking at the next 1, 3, 5 years to the last point I'll make on this is, yeah, as you go from those injectables to the pills, it'll be a broader population that they'll be appealing to. Some people just have this psychological thing about putting a needle into them. I think more patients will come through on that. Yeah, this once in a generation demand opportunity, I think from GLP-1s, bringing patients in and the advertising that Big Pharma is gonna do, I think it's more of like a 1, 3, 5-year tailwind for us versus, you know, 1, 3, 5 quarter. So we're looking at the marathon here and we're looking at this kilometer marker for the metric system, people, or mile marker for the U.S. folks.

Speaker #4: Some people just have this psychological thing about putting a needle into them. I think more patients will come through on that. But yeah, this once-in-a-generation demand opportunity, I think from GLP-1s, bringing patients in and the advertising that big pharma's going to do, I think it's more of like a 1, 3, 5-year tailwind for us versus 1, 3, 5-quarter.

Speaker #4: And so we're looking at the marathon here. And we're looking at this kilometer marker for the metric system people or mile marker for the US folks.

Mick Farrell: This mile marker was pretty good in what we did in demand capture, curation and conversion. Thanks for the question, Davin.

Mick Farrell: This mile marker was pretty good in what we did in demand capture, curation and conversion. Thanks for the question, Davin.

Speaker #4: And this mile marker was pretty good in what we did in demand capture, curation, and conversion thanks for the question, Gavin.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jonathan Block with Stifel. Please proceed with your question.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jonathan Block with Stifel. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of John Block with Stifel. Please proceed with your question.

Jordan Bernstein: Great. Thanks. Jordan Bernstein on for Jonathan Block. Just gonna continue down this same road a bit on the US devices. You know, we call an increasing amount of ad spend from the likes of Eli Lilly and their Zepbound OSA brand campaigns, DontSleepOnOSA.com. You know, the broader population for the pills out there, like you just spoke to. I think the question for you would be, you know, when that prospective Zepbound OSA patient walks into their PCP or their sleep doc, are they walking out with the GLP-1 and CPAP prescriptions? If they are, how would you describe that patient's behavior? Are they getting that CPAP prescription filled? Maybe you could talk about their journey exiting the doctor. Thanks.

Jordan Bernstein: Great. Thanks. Jordan Bernstein on for Jonathan Block. Just gonna continue down this same road a bit on the U.S. devices. You know, we call an increasing amount of ad spend from the likes of Eli Lilly and their Zepbound OSA brand campaigns, DontSleepOnOSA.com. You know, the broader population for the pills out there, like you just spoke to. I think the question for you would be, you know, when that prospective Zepbound OSA patient walks into their PCP or their sleep doc, are they walking out with the GLP-1 and CPAP prescriptions? If they are, how would you describe that patient's behavior? Are they getting that CPAP prescription filled? Maybe you could talk about their journey exiting the doctor. Thanks.

Speaker #6: Great. Thanks, Jordan Bernstein on for John. I'm just going to continue down this same road a bit. On the US devices, we'd call an increasing amount of ad spend from the likes of Eli Lilly, and their Zepbound OSA brand campaigns, Don't Sleep on OSA.com, and the broader population for the pills.

Speaker #6: Out there, like you just spoke to, I think the question for you would be, in that perspective, Zepbound OSA patient walks into their PCP or their sleep doc, are they walking out with the GLP-1 and CPAP prescriptions?

Speaker #6: And if they are, how would you describe that patient's behavior? Are they getting that CPAP description filled? And maybe you could talk about their journey exiting the doctor.

Speaker #6: Thanks.

Mick Farrell: Yeah, Jordan, it's a really good question, and obviously one that we've thought a lot about and are analyzing really closely, right? We didn't pay for the demand gen. We're not going after these new patients. Someone else is. As you said, there's a Don't Sleep on OSA campaign. I'd love to have a spare $100 million to put into a campaign like that. I'm glad somebody else does because it's a huge benefit and gets a patient in that we never would have got in. Once they're there, once they're at that PCP and, you know, as we're targeting high volume GLP-1s and people with home sleep apnea testing providers, that PCP is writing a prescription for a CPAP.

Mick Farrell: Yeah, Jordan, it's a really good question, and obviously one that we've thought a lot about and are analyzing really closely, right? We didn't pay for the demand gen. We're not going after these new patients. Someone else is. As you said, there's a Don't Sleep on OSA campaign. I'd love to have a spare $100 million to put into a campaign like that. I'm glad somebody else does because it's a huge benefit and gets a patient in that we never would have got in. Once they're there, once they're at that PCP and, you know, as we're targeting high volume GLP-1s and people with home sleep apnea testing providers, that PCP is writing a prescription for a CPAP.

Speaker #4: Yeah, Jordan, it's a really good question. And obviously, one that we've thought a lot about and are analyzing really closely, right? Because we didn't pay for the demand gen.

Speaker #4: We're not going after these new patients. Someone else is, as you said. There's a Don't Sleep on OSA campaign. I'd love to have a spare $100 million to put into a campaign like that.

Speaker #4: I'm glad somebody else does because it's a huge benefit and gets a patient in that we never would have got in. But once they're there, once they're at that PCP, and as we're targeting high-volume GLP-1s and people with home sleep apnea testing providers, that PCP is writing a prescription for a CPAP.

Mick Farrell: Of course, they're gonna talk to the patient, but it's kind of a legal or clinical obligation to write for the lowest cost, most efficacious therapy. A patient sort of, you know, CMS has already set up, and most payers have set up this sort of 90-day, you've got to get to a 70% of a trailing 30 days in that first 90-day period to qualify for 91st day that the device isn't taken away. It's an interesting game theory that when that approach to reimbursement was put in 15, 20 years ago, I think some of the industry saw it as a threat.

Mick Farrell: Of course, they're gonna talk to the patient, but it's kind of a legal or clinical obligation to write for the lowest cost, most efficacious therapy. A patient sort of, you know, CMS has already set up, and most payers have set up this sort of 90-day, you've got to get to a 70% of a trailing 30 days in that first 90-day period to qualify for 91st day that the device isn't taken away. It's an interesting game theory that when that approach to reimbursement was put in 15, 20 years ago, I think some of the industry saw it as a threat.

Speaker #4: Of course, they're going to talk to the patient. But it's kind of a legal or clinical obligation to write for the lowest cost, most efficacious therapy.

Speaker #4: And a patient’s sort of CMS has already set up. And most payers have set up this sort of 90-day—you’ve got to get to a 70%, or the trailing 30 days in that first 90-day period to qualify.

Speaker #4: For 91st day, the device isn't taken away. It's an interesting game theory that when that approach to reimbursement was put in 15, 20 years ago, I think some of the industry saw it as a threat.

Mick Farrell: ResMed saw it as an opportunity to say, Well, we've got a 90-day sprint to help this patient find their way to the lowest cost, completely reversible, and most efficacious therapy on the planet to treat obstructive sleep apnea. The PCPs and particularly the sleep doctors know this. They don't get every patient adherent. You know, we brag about our 87% adherence at day 90. That means 13% don't go there. Are we gonna get 87% with every patient that Eli Lilly brings into that PCP, that sleep doc? No. Are we gonna get close to it? What can we do to maximize this once in a generation opportunity for us? That's our challenge. That's what we're educating the PCPs on.

Mick Farrell: ResMed saw it as an opportunity to say, Well, we've got a 90-day sprint to help this patient find their way to the lowest cost, completely reversible, and most efficacious therapy on the planet to treat obstructive sleep apnea. The PCPs and particularly the sleep doctors know this. They don't get every patient adherent. You know, we brag about our 87% adherence at day 90. That means 13% don't go there. Are we gonna get 87% with every patient that Eli Lilly brings into that PCP, that sleep doc? No. Are we gonna get close to it? What can we do to maximize this once in a generation opportunity for us? That's our challenge. That's what we're educating the PCPs on.

Speaker #4: ResMed saw it as an opportunity to say, well, we've got a 90-day sprint to help this patient find their way to the lowest cost, completely reversible, and most efficacious therapy on the planet to treat.

Speaker #4: Obstructive sleep apnea. And so the PCPs, and particularly the sleep doctors, know this. They don't get every patient adherent. We brag about our 87% adherents at day 90.

Speaker #4: That means 13% don't go there. Are we going to get 87% with every patient that Eli Lilly brings into that PCP, that sleep doc?

Speaker #4: No. But are we going to get close to it? And what can we do to maximize this once-in-a-generation opportunity for us? That's our challenge.

Speaker #4: That's what we're educating the PCPs on. That's what we're educating the primary care physicians on, the sleep doctors on, because they know what's gold standard therapy.

Mick Farrell: That's what we're educating the primary care physicians on, the sleep doctors on, 'cause they know what's gold standard therapy, and they know it's not simple to get a patient adherent in those first 90 days. They know if they're not adherent in 90 days, the device comes back, and it's just, you know, not good for the patient, not good for us. Anyway, that's our 30-year journey here. The fact that someone else is playing for the demand chain, and we've got a capability to maximize the probability of setup is incredible. What I love is that the company who makes this product, on their own education says that combination therapy is better. Their own clinical data show that, so that their reps will be saying that, if they're following the rules, and so will ours.

Mick Farrell: That's what we're educating the primary care physicians on, the sleep doctors on, 'cause they know what's gold standard therapy, and they know it's not simple to get a patient adherent in those first 90 days. They know if they're not adherent in 90 days, the device comes back, and it's just, you know, not good for the patient, not good for us. Anyway, that's our 30-year journey here.

What I love is that the company who makes this product, on their own education says that combination therapy is better. Their own clinical data show that, so that their reps will be saying that, if they're following the rules, and so will ours.

Speaker #4: And they know it's not simple to get a patient adherent in those first 90 days. And they know if they're not adherent in 90 days, the device comes back.

Speaker #4: And it's just not good for the patient, not good for us. But anyway, that's our 30-year journey here. The fact that someone else is playing for the demand gen, and we've got a capability to maximize the probability of setup is incredible.

Speaker #4: What I love is that the company who makes this product, on their own education, says that combination therapy is better. Their own clinical data show that so that their reps will be saying that if they're following the rules.

Speaker #4: And so will ours. And so that education to the PCP will be the same. And the sleep doctors, obviously, know this back to front.

Mick Farrell: That education to the PCP will be the same. The sleep doctors obviously know this back to front. Weight loss. If you look at the sort of primary investigators on the trials that drove this for Lilly, they say this has always been about tracking age, tracking gender, tracking craniofacial anatomy, but also tracking weight, and realizing that weight management and CPAP management go hand in hand. Go back and look at our data now on 2.1 million patients. These patients, when they have this combination prescription, start more, stay on more, and stick with our therapy over the long term, 3 years plus now.

Mick Farrell: That education to the PCP will be the same. The sleep doctors obviously know this back to front. Weight loss. If you look at the sort of primary investigators on the trials that drove this for Lilly, they say this has always been about tracking age, tracking gender, tracking craniofacial anatomy, but also tracking weight, and realizing that weight management and CPAP management go hand in hand. Go back and look at our data now on 2.1 million patients. These patients, when they have this combination prescription, start more, stay on more, and stick with our therapy over the long term, 3 years plus now.

Speaker #4: Weight loss. If you look at the sort of primary investigators on the trials that drove this for Lilly, they say this has always been about tracking age, tracking gender, tracking craniofacial anatomy, but also tracking weight.

Speaker #4: And realizing that weight management and CPAP management go hand in hand. Go back and look at our data. Now, on 2.1 million patients, these patients, when they have this combination prescription, start more, stay on more, and stick with our therapy over the long term, three years plus now.

Mick Farrell: We were asked the question, wait a second, what if they start CPAP and then get a GLP-1? We've now answered that with N equals 1.7 million to show these patients also, if you start CPAP and then add a GLP-1, you're there and going. If you get the prescription at the same time, that's the next phase. We're looking at it, and we are seeing, I think in terms of the age and the gender and the approach of these people, in line approach. I'd like it to be better. That's what we're working on. It's a great question, Jordan, and very pertinent.

Mick Farrell: We were asked the question, wait a second, what if they start CPAP and then get a GLP-1? We've now answered that with N equals 1.7 million to show these patients also, if you start CPAP and then add a GLP-1, you're there and going.

Speaker #4: And we were asked the question, wait a second, what if they start CPAP and then get a GLP-1? We've now answered that with N equals 1.7 million to show these patients also, if you start CPAP and then add a GLP-1, you're there and going.

Speaker #4: If you get the prescription at the same time, that's the next phase. And we're looking at it. And we are seeing I think in terms of the age and the gender and the approach of these people in line approach.

Speaker #4: I'd like it to be better. And so that's what we're working on. But it's a great question, Jordan. And very pertinent.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Brandon Vazquez with William Blair. Please proceed with your question.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Brandon Vazquez with William Blair. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Brandon Vasquez with William Blair. Please proceed with your question.

Brandon Vazquez: Hey, everyone. Thanks for taking the question. Mick, I was wondering if you know, you talked a little bit about reiterating expectations next year and through 2030 for high single-digit growth, and then, better leverage on the bottom line. Maybe from a high level, I'm sure we'll get into it more next quarter, but from a high level, talk to us about what the growth drivers are you see. Are there any new product launches, anything like that, as we go into fiscal 2027? Brett, maybe on your end, like, how do we think about what the levers are on a go-forward basis in 2027? More of the same with efficiencies, or is there anything else new that we should be contemplating? Thanks, guys.

Brandon Vazquez: Hey, everyone. Thanks for taking the question. Mick, I was wondering if you know, you talked a little bit about reiterating expectations next year and through 2030 for high single-digit growth, and then, better leverage on the bottom line. Maybe from a high level, I'm sure we'll get into it more next quarter, but from a high level, talk to us about what the growth drivers are you see. Are there any new product launches, anything like that, as we go into fiscal 2027? Brett, maybe on your end, like, how do we think about what the levers are on a go-forward basis in 2027? More of the same with efficiencies, or is there anything else new that we should be contemplating? Thanks, guys.

Speaker #5: Hey, everyone. Thanks for taking the question. Nick, I was wondering if you could you talked a little bit about reiterating expectations next year and through 2030 for high-scene allergic growth.

Speaker #5: And then better kind of leverage on the bottom line. Maybe from a high level, I'm sure we'll get into it more next quarter. But from a high level, talk to us about what the growth drivers are.

Speaker #5: You see, are there any new product launches, anything like that? As we go into fiscal 27 and then Brett maybe on your end, how do we think about what the levers are on a go-forward basis in 27, kind of more of the same with efficiencies?

Speaker #5: Or is there anything else new that we should be contemplating? Thanks, guys.

Mick Farrell: Yeah. Thanks, Brandon. It's a really good question. As you've followed us for many years, you know I don't release product pipeline ahead of where we go. I can talk about the N30i and its great takeoff. The AirTouch F30i Comfort, AirTouch F30i Clear are doing really well and at premium prices. Obviously, our core masks are doing well. We talked about the AirSense 11 expansion across Latin America now, Brazil, Argentina, beyond. We talked about the China launch, that's a fast-growing, consumer-driven, market where we're a premium but very successful brand there. We talked about Korea, omni-channel, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the growth there as well. To promise the future product pipeline, but I can tell you there's a lot in it, and I've challenged the team to get time to market faster.
