The San Diego Union-Tribune

SAN DIEGO — On a foggy night in mid-March, several family members from the Mexican state of Michoacán followed smugglers’ instructions to climb the first of two border barriers to reach U.S. soil near San Diego. One of the women felt her grip slipping on the first fence from the moisture in the air as she struggled over. When she approached the second wall, looming 30 feet above her, she realized it would be impossible for her to get over safely.

Editorial: Like pet rocks and bell bottoms,1970s bad economic news is back to haunt Biden

Published by
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

U.S. gross domestic product shrank 1.4% in the first quarter at the same time inflation continued to soar. For older Americans, that combination conjures memories of 1970s stagflation, a nightmarish combination of double-digit inflation, double-digit interest rates, soaring gasoline prices and persistently high unemployment. The entire economic mess got dumped on President Jimmy Carter’s lap after the 1976 election, even though it was neither his fault nor the fault of his predecessors, Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon. Sometimes, global economic forces converge just like weather systems to creat… Continue reading “Editorial: Like pet rocks and bell bottoms,1970s bad economic news is back to haunt Biden”

We remain focused on delivering products, software, and services for patients, working closely with our supply chain partners as well as physicians, providers, and beyond, to prioritize care for patients who most need it.

“While the current industry and macroeconomic environment remain uncertain, our long-term strategy allows us to keep our focus on helping 250 million lives in 2025.

Discussion of Third Quarter Results
All comparisons are to the prior year period unless otherwise noted

  • Revenue grew by 14 percent on a constant currency basis, driven by increased demand for our sleep and respiratory care devices and increased demand following a recent product recall by one of our competitors.
    • Revenue in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, excluding software-as-a-service, grew by 18 percent, primarily due to the factors discussed above and recovery of core sleep patient flow that was previously impacted by COVID-19.
    • Revenue in Europe, Asia, and other markets grew by 11 percent on a constant currency basis, primarily due to the factors discussed above.
    • Software-as-a-service revenue increased by 8 percent, due to continued growth in our Durable Medical Equipment category and stabilizing patient flow in out-of-hospital care settings.
  • Gross margin decreased by 140 basis points and non-GAAP gross margin decreased by 150 basis points, mainly due to higher freight and manufacturing costs, partially offset by favorable product mix changes and increase in average selling prices.
  • Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 17 percent on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses increased to 21.1 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared with 20.9 percent in the same period of the prior year. These changes in SG&A expenses were mainly due to increases in employee-related expenses.
  • Income from operations increased by 5 percent and non-GAAP income from operations increased by 5 percent.
  • Net income for the quarter was $179.0 million and diluted earnings per share was $1.22. Non-GAAP net income grew by 2 percent and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share grew by 2 percent, predominantly attributable to strong sales, partially offset by higher operating expenses.
  • Operating cash flow for the quarter was $117.4 million, compared to net income in the current quarter of $179.0 million and non-GAAP net income of $193.3 million. During the quarter we paid $61.4 million in dividends.

Other Business and Operational Highlights

  • Announced appointment of Urvashi Tyagi as new Chief Technology Officer and Bobby Ghoshal transitions to be President of ResMed’s software-as-a-service business segment full-time. Tyagi leads ResMed’s digital health technology team, driving innovation and adoption of world-leading cloud-based digital health platforms and investments in emerging technologies.
  • Published 2022 Global Sleep Surveys as part of National Sleep Awareness Week (March 13-19) and World Sleep Day (March 18). The surveys, conducted in the first quarter of the calendar year, asked nearly 25,000 respondents in 12 countries what’s keeping them up at night; the results aim to build awareness of the critical role good sleep plays in physical and mental health.

Dividend program
The ResMed board of directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.42 per share. The dividend will have a record date of May 12, 2022, payable on June 16, 2022. The dividend will be paid in U.S. currency to holders of ResMed’s common stock trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Holders of CHESS Depositary Interests (“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. The ex-dividend date will be May 11, 2022, for common stockholders and for CDI holders. ResMed has received 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 May 11, 2022, through May 12, 2022, inclusive.

(A)     ResMed adjusts for the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, reserve for disputed tax positions, restructuring expenses and the (gain) loss on equity investments from their evaluation of ongoing operations, and believes that investors benefit from adjusting these items to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of current operating performance.

ResMed believes that non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is an additional measure of performance that investors can use to compare operating results between reporting periods. ResMed uses non-GAAP information internally in planning, forecasting, and evaluating the results of operations in the current period and in comparing it to past periods. ResMed believes this information provides investors better insight when evaluating ResMed’s performance from core operations and provides consistent financial reporting. The use of non-GAAP measures is intended to supplement, and not to replace, the presentation of net income and other GAAP measures. Like all non-GAAP measures, non-GAAP earnings are subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP.

World’s First DDoS Risk Assessment Product – Israeli Cybersecurity Company MazeBolt Announces $10 Million in Funding

MazeBolt RADAR

MazeBolt RADAR

RAMAT GAN, Israel, April 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MazeBolt Technologies, an Israeli cybersecurity firm transforming DDoS mitigation, today announced the completion of a $10,000,000 existing shareholders equity financing. MazeBolt also announced today the addition of two leaders in the cybersecurity field to its Advisory Board, Glenn Gerstell, former General Counsel of the US National Security Agency (“NSA”), and Amichai Shulman, former founder and CTO of IMPERVA.

MazeBolt RADAR is a patented technology which dramatically reduces DDoS risk, in most cases by orders of magnitude. Commercially introduced last year – after more than three years of development and BETA testing – RADAR is based on a totally new concept of continuously testing the entire attack surface of networks and services for DDoS vulnerabilities, without any disruption to production availability. Once identified, all existing vulnerabilities can then be pre-emptively corrected and the fixes validated, again without disruption. By enabling these first-ever capabilities, the addition of MazeBolt RADAR now enables a transformation of DDoS mitigation from requiring reactive manual recovery to near-perfect automatic mitigation of all DDoS attacks for any web-facing network, regardless of the DDoS mitigation platform it is in use with.

As a new product in a very “noisy” marketplace, Mr. Andriani CEO & Founder of MazeBolt stated, “Our immediate key challenge is to bring to the attention of cybersecurity decision-makers the fact that this first-of-a-kind product is now available and has been extensively validated in commercial use across multiple industries and environments. During 2021, our first year of full commercialization, we were pleased to see that every completed proof of concept resulted in a new RADAR customer. Furthermore, to date, no customer that fully implemented MazeBolt RADAR has suffered a successful DDoS attack.”
