Growth Potential

• Global leader in a significantly under-penetrated sleep apnea market. High barriers to entry in establishing global distribution channels.

• New product launches (momentum in new mask releases) & buildout of portfolio via bolt-on acquisitions is seeing RMD become the one-stop shop for sleep apnea.
• Increasing popularity of GLP-1s is increasing awareness with studies indicating patients with an OSA diagnosis and prescribed a GLP-1 drug are 11% more likely to initiate PAP therapy.
• Strong balance sheet and attractive free cash flow profile provides management significant strategic flexibility.
• Solid FY26 guidance with further upside to gross margin.
• Capital management – active share buyback ($175m shares to be repurchased in 4Q26)
• Acquisition of Noctrix Health secures a first-mover advantage in the Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) market
