SG&A expenses were $107.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, an increase of 7% (an 8% increase on a constant currency basis) over the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to expenses necessary to support sales growth. SG&A costs were 28.6% of revenue in the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to 30.2% in the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

R&D expenses were $30.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, or 8.1% of revenue. R&D expenses increased by 11% (also an 11% increase on a constant currency basis) compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

The company amortized acquired intangibles of $2.5 million ($1.9 million, net of tax) during the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Stock-based compensation costs incurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 of $9.5 million ($6.5 million, net of tax) consisted of expenses associated with stock options, restricted stock units, and our employee stock purchase plan.

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, revenue was $716.3 million, an increase of 11% over the six months ended December 31, 2011 (a 13% increase on a constant currency basis). For the six months ended December 31, 2012, net income was $149.2 million, an increase of 32% compared to the six months ended December 31, 2011. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 2012 were $1.02 per diluted share, an increase of 36% compared to the six months ended December 31, 2011.

Inventory, at $194.8 million, increased by $20.5 million compared to June 30, 2012. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding, at 68 days, remained unchanged compared with June 30, 2012.

Additionally, the Board of Directors has today declared a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share, which will have a record date of February 19, 2013, and be payable on March 19, 2013. The dividend will be paid in U.S. currency to holders of ResMed's common stock trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Holders of Chess Depositary Instruments (CDIs) trading on the Australian Securities Exchange will receive an equivalent amount in Australian currency, based on the exchange rate on the record date, and reflecting the 10:1 ratio between CDIs and NYSE shares. Because the two exchanges have different settlement and transfer procedures, the ex-dividend periods before the record date will be different for common stock and for CDIs. The ex-dividend date will be February 13, 2013 for CDI holders and February 15, 2013 for common stock holders. As a result of these differences, ResMed has requested a waiver from the ASX's settlement operating rules, which will allow ResMed to defer processing conversions between its common stock and CDI registers from February 13, 2013 through February 19, 2013, inclusive.

Peter C. Farrell Ph.D, chairman and chief executive officer, commented, "In the second quarter of fiscal 2013 we showed strong year-over-year growth on both top and bottom lines. Revenue in the Americas increased by 16%, to $211.8 million over the prior year's quarter. Revenue outside the Americas was $164.7 million, an increase of 10% over the prior year's quarter. In constant currency terms, revenue outside the Americas increased by 12%. Operating profit for the December quarter was $92.1 million, cash flow from operations was $93.6 million, while gross margin was 61.8%, all demonstrating excellent operating performance. There was also a continuing shift to higher value flow generators, like S9 Autoset(TM) and S9 bilevels, and mask and accessory sales remained strong. During the quarter, we also repurchased 1.0 million shares, at a cost of $40.0 million, as part of our ongoing capital management program.

"We had a solid quarter across the board. And we believe we are in the early stages of an exciting market dynamic for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), which we have been pioneering for many years, by offering full solutions to therapy providers and critical information for the reimbursement community. In short, we don't just provide high quality flow generators and a highly regarded range of comfortable, effective and preferred masks and accessories, we offer robust data solutions that drive compliance and adherence. This combination is a significant value proposition for home medical equipment providers, because these solutions drive efficiencies and create additional business opportunities. And by providing valuable clinical and economic data to payors, we strive to help them more fully appreciate SDB therapy's positive effect on health and cost benefit outcomes. We believe that our continuing advocacy for screening, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring patient adherence to SDB therapy presents a significant opportunity to improve health and quality of life, contain healthcare costs, and curtail the development of multiple co-morbidities, many of which are far more devastating and costly than SDB."
