Record full-year revenue result for Fisher & Paykel Healthcare
Auckland, New Zealand, 28 May 2025 – Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited today announced its results for the full year ended 31 March 2025.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Lewis Gradon said, “During the 2025 financial year, we stayed focused on the fundamentals of our business and we achieved strong results, with annual revenue of more than $2 billion for the first time in our history.”
Total operating revenue was a record $2.02 billion, an increase of 16% from the prior financial year, or 14% in constant currency. This was driven by broad-based growth in hospital consumables and double-digit growth in masks for treating obstructive sleep apnea.
Net profit after tax for the financial year was $377.2 million, a 43% increase over the 2024 financial year, or 30% in constant currency. These growth rates are against underlying net profit after tax for the 2024 financial year, which excluded three abnormal items.
For the Hospital product group, which includes products used in respiratory, acute and surgical care, revenue for the full year was $1.28 billion, up 18% from the previous financial year, or 16% in constant currency. Sales of new applications consumables were up 20% over the prior financial year, or 18% in constant currency.
For the Homecare product group, which includes products used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and respiratory support in the home, revenue for the full year was $739.9 million, up 13% over the previous financial year, or 11% in constant currency. OSA masks revenue was up 14% for the full year, or 11% in constant currency.
The company remains committed to returning to its long-term gross margin target of 65%. For the 2025 financial year, gross margin was 62.9%, an underlying performance increase of 181 basis points, or 129 basis points in constant currency.
New products and market releases
During the 2025 financial year, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare invested $226.9 million into research and development. The company expanded the roll-out of its F&P AirvoTM 3 device and F&P 950TM System in the United States and increased the adoption of its products for use in anaesthesia, F&P Optiflow Switch™ and F&P Optiflow Trace™. The business also launched two new masks for treating OSA, the F&P Nova™ Micro mask in April 2024 and the F&P Nova Nasal mask in March 2025.
Dividend
For the second half of the year, the Board has approved a final dividend of 24.0 cents per share. This takes the total dividend for the year to 42.5 cents per share, an increase of 2% over the previous full year. The final dividend, carrying full New Zealand imputation credit, will be paid on 4 July 2025 with a record date of 24 June 2025.
Outlook for the 2026 financial year
At 30 April exchange rates*, the company expects full year operating revenue to be in the range of approximately $2.15 billion to $2.25 billion, and net profit after tax to be in the range of approximately $390 million to $440 million.
This outlook anticipates an overall improvement in gross margin for the year and includes an estimated 50-basis point impact of US tariffs on hospital products sourced from New Zealand. It also assumes current global tariff rates, policies and applications for the duration of this financial year.
“Our actions in response to any trade policy developments will be driven by our longstanding approach, which is to mitigate cost increases from any source by identifying and implementing continuous improvements and efficiency gains across all of our business processes,” said Mr Gradon.
Capital expenditure for the 2026 financial year is expected to be approximately $225 million.
“Looking ahead, we will continue to apply the fundamental principles that have guided us for decades. We have a strong new product pipeline and are confident that we will continue to introduce innovative products and therapies that enhance patient care and improve health outcomes worldwide,” concluded Mr Gradon.
