    Saul Hadassin's questions to Resmed Inc (RMD) leadership • Q3 2025

    Question

    Saul Hadassin from Barrenjoey questioned why the Q4 gross margin guidance was 'broadly consistent' rather than materially higher, given favorable current foreign exchange rates.

    Answer

    CFO Brett Sandercock acknowledged the question, explaining that the 'broadly consistent' guidance provides some flexibility. He then conceded that if current foreign exchange rates, particularly the Euro, hold, the bias for the Q4 gross margin would likely be 'north of' the 59.9% reported in Q3.

    Saul Hadassin's questions to Resmed Inc (RMD) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Saul Hadassin questioned the working capital performance, specifically asking about the drivers behind the inventory build during the quarter.

    Answer

    CFO Brett Sandercock explained that the inventory increase was a deliberate part of a strategy to rebalance freight methods. By increasing stock-in-transit via sea freight to mitigate higher air freight costs, inventory levels temporarily rose. He expects this to stabilize after the second quarter.
