Fisher & Paykel Healthcare announces strong results for the 2022 financial year


Auckland, New Zealand, 25 May 2022 – Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited today

announced its results for the full year ended 31 March 2022.


Managing Director and CEO Lewis Gradon said, “Over the last two financial years we have supplied

$880 million of hospital hardware, the equivalent of approximately 10 years’ hardware sales prior to

COVID-19. The growing body of evidence supporting the use of nasal high flow and our other

respiratory therapies shows that our products have a clear role to play in improving care and

outcomes beyond COVID-19 patients. We have a proven fifty-year track record of changing clinical

practice and now we have the additional benefit of customers already having our hardware and

clinical experience with its use.”


Following an unprecedented 2021 financial year, the company’s performance was once again

strong, with operating revenue 33% above the pre-COVID-19 2020 financial year. Total operating

revenue for the 2022 financial year was $1.68 billion, down 15% or 14% in constant currency. Net

profit after tax was $376.9 million, a 28% decline from the previous financial year, or a 30% decline

in constant currency.


New product announcements

“During the 2022 financial year, we invested $154 million into research and development and we

brought a number of exciting new products to the market.


“Today, we announced the launch of Optiflow Switch™ and Optiflow Trace™ nasal high flow

interfaces, two new products that allow easier use of our Optiflow therapy in anesthesia. We have

accelerated our investment in a specialist sales force to take advantage of this opportunity, and we

plan to continue investing in this area in the coming years,” said Mr Gradon.


The company also announced the launch of its revolutionary new Airvo™ 3 device, which is

designed to faciliate high flow therapy for more patients in more areas of the hospital. The Airvo 3

incorporates the company’s OptiO

2

™ closed-loop system for targeted oxygen delivery and an

integrated battery to enable therapy while a patient moves through different areas of the hospital.


Further detail on these new product launches is available in the two separate news releases which

are attached to this announcement.


Dividend and employee profit share

The company’s directors have approved an increased final dividend of 22.5 cents per share. This

brings the total dividend for the year to 39.5 cents per share, an increase of 4%. The final dividend,

carrying full New Zealand imputation credit, will be paid on 6 July 2022 with a record date of 23 June

2022.


To acknowledge the people of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, directors also approved a profit-sharing

payment totalling $19 million for the 2022 financial year to be paid to employees who have worked

for the company for a qualifying period.


Commentary on financial results

In the Hospital product group, which includes humidification products used in respiratory, acute and

surgical care, revenue was $1.21 billion, a decline of 19% from the 2021 financial year in both

reported and constant currency. New applications consumables revenue grew 3% in constant

currency. Of total Hospital product group revenue, 27% was from the sale of hardware and 73% was

from the sale of consumables.


In the Homecare product group, which includes products used in the treatment of obstructive sleep

apnea (OSA) and respiratory support in the home, revenue was $469.5 million, a 1% increase over

the previous financial year, or 2% in constant currency. OSA mask revenue grew a pleasing 6% in

the second half of FY22 in constant currency, in an environment of suppressed new OSA patient

diagnoses due to COVID-19 and the limited supply of treatment hardware.

Gross margin decreased by 59 basis points for the year to 62.6%, or a 147 basis points decline in

constant currency compared to the 2021 financial year. High air-freight utilisation and elevated freight

rates continued to weigh overall compared to pre-COVID-19 rates, impacting constant currency gross

margin by approximately 240 basis points.


Looking forward

“In our Homecare product group, our Evora

TM

Full mask for OSA launched in the United States in

May 2022. The Evora Full has been one of the most positive new mask launches we have ever

experienced, based on customer feedback and initial sales performance to date in the regions

where it is available. New OSA patient diagnoses rates and the availability of treatment hardware

are also likely to impact our Homecare product group results in the 2023 financial year,” said Mr

Gradon.


“For our Hospital product group, over the last two financial years, we have supplied an extraordinary

$880 million worth of hospital hardware. COVID-19 may have peaked in many parts of the world for

the time being, and many countries have boosted their hospital treatment capacity. As a result, we

do not expect hospital hardware revenue for the 2023 financial year to continue at FY22 levels.


“For FY22, we estimate that the average utilisation of our hospital hardware across the therapy

options was approximately 60% to 70% of a pre-COVID-19 midpoint. We expect that over time,

clinicians will utilise the incremental installed base with an increasing proportion of respiratory-

compromised patients in general. The increasing clinical data and recently-published clinical

practice guidelines that have emerged independently of COVID-19 will be instrumental in supporting

this change.


“We are excited by the opportunity to change clinical practice and play our part in improving

outcomes for patients globally. If the change in clinical practice occurs over a three- to five-year

time-frame, it would drive strong growth in hospital consumable sales over this period.


“During the second half of the 2022 financial year, there was a sharp peak for our hospital

consumables sales in December, followed by a low in February. Hospital consumables subsequent

trading to date is exhibiting a slow recovery from February.


“Given the ongoing uncertainties regarding our customers’ stockholding choices and their capacity

to implement new protocols with personnel shortages and the possibility of further surges of COVID-

19 over the near term, we are not currently providing quantitative revenue or earnings guidance for

the 2023 financial year.


“For gross margin, freight costs are likely to remain elevated, and air-freight a higher proportion of

freight than pre-COVID-19. We are continuing to advance our manufacturing capacity and facilities

projects, and we also expect to hold higher levels of inventory to help address global supply chain

challenges. If freight rates remain at current levels, then we would expect constant currency gross

margin in the 2023 financial year to be in line with the 2022 financial year.


“We expect to continue growing our investment in R&D and SG&A, as longer-term projects are

accelerated and we grow our sales teams to support the installed base of hospital hardware and

deliver on the opportunity in anesthesia.


“To ensure we are well-positioned to meet demand for the ongoing use of our installed base of

hardware and accommodate our strong new product pipeline, we are continuing to invest in our

infrastructure. We expect to invest approximately $700 million in land and buildings over

approximately five years.


“The last several years have been remarkable for our company. Above all, we showed our

customers they can rely on Fisher & Paykel Healthcare and that we’re doing all we can to create the

best-possible outcomes for patients. We want to thank our customers, suppliers, clinical partners


and employees for their support. We look forward to what’s in store for the years ahead,” concluded

Mr Gradon.

News Release
STOCK EXCHANGE LISTINGS: NEW ZEALAND (FPH), AUSTRALIA (FPH)

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare expands offering in anesthesia with the release of the

Optiflow Switch™ and Optiflow Trace™

Auckland, New Zealand, 25 May 2022

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited announced today it has launched two new

products developed specifically for use in anesthesia applications. These applications expand

the market opportunity for Optiflow™ nasal high flow within the company’s hospital respiratory

support segment.

The company has released the Optiflow Switch™ and Optiflow Trace™ nasal high flow

interfaces into select markets following a number of years of research and development.

“We see an opportunity to improve outcomes for patients undergoing anesthesia and believe that

these new products will contribute to our aspiration of sustainable profitable growth over the long

term,” said Lewis Gradon, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer at Fisher & Paykel

Healthcare.

“Based on the existing clinical evidence and our experience to date, we estimate that the number

of patients annually that could benefit from Optiflow nasal high flow during anesthesia is similar

to the annual number of general respiratory patients that could benefit from Optiflow,” said Mr

Gradon.

The Optiflow Switch interface, designed for general anesthesia, delivers high flows of humidified

oxygen to the patient while allowing anesthesiologists to administer bag mask ventilation without

needing to remove the nasal interface. The Optiflow Trace interface, used for procedural

sedation, provides high flows of humidified oxygen to the patient while also allowing for the

sampling of expired carbon dioxide.

“The opportunity was identified to provide a system and new range of innovative products in the

anesthesia setting,” said Winston Fong, VP – Surgical Technologies for Fisher & Paykel

Healthcare.

“With the new Optiflow Switch and Trace products, we are able to offer solutions to

anesthesiologists right across the anesthesia care continuum,” said Mr Fong. “We have received

positive feedback from medical professionals on these products, and we look forward to placing

them in more markets.”

Optiflow anesthesia products are currently sold in 20 countries, including Australia, the United

Kingdom, France, and the United States. Optiflow Switch will be available in the United States

upon receipt of regulatory clearance.

News Release
STOCK EXCHANGE LISTINGS: NEW ZEALAND (FPH), AUSTRALIA (FPH)

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare unveils new Airvo™ 3 high flow system

Auckland, New Zealand, 25 May 2022

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited announced today it has released the Airvo 3

high flow system.

The new respiratory device builds upon the market-leading Airvo 2, offering more advanced

technology and a broader range of features.

“We are excited to bring the Airvo 3 to market following more than five years of research and

development,” said Lewis Gradon, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer at Fisher &

Paykel Healthcare. “The new device will more easily allow for the treatment of patients as they

move through different parts of the hospital.”

Designed to deliver Optiflow™ therapy, the new device incorporates the company’s OptiO

2


closed-loop system for targeted oxygen delivery, which helps to ensure the patient is provided

the right level of oxygen. Other new features include an integrated battery, a large touchscreen

interface, expanded settings for pediatric and neonatal patients, and an increased maximum flow

rate of 70 litres per minute compared to 60 litres per minute on the Airvo 2.

“Our teams worked closely with our customers and clinicians to design a device that meets

healthcare providers’ evolving needs and deliver better patient outcomes,” said Andrew

Somervell, VP – Products and Technology for Fisher & Paykel Healthcare. “We’re pleased to

now see the Airvo 3 in New Zealand hospitals and we look forward to it being more widely

available in due course.”

“The new product reflects our continued focus on our longer-term aspirations despite the

challenges of responding to demand during the pandemic,” said Mr Gradon. “We did not let this

once-in-generation event divert us from our long-term course. Our teams have continued to

innovate across our product groups – the Airvo 3 is one such example.”

A controlled market release of the Airvo 3 is now underway in New Zealand and it will be

available in more markets as regulatory clearances are received.

Report from the Chair
In 2019, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare

celebrated its 50

th

anniversary as a

business. Little did we know that right

around the corner lay a pandemic

that would significantly impact clinical

practice and accelerate our path to

growth. We had no way of knowing

that ‘nasal high flow therapy’ – a

treatment our sales teams were

working so hard to promote – would

become part of clinicians’ everyday

vocabulary and a phrase that

journalists used daily in their stories

about COVID-19.

For a long time into the future, we will

remember ‘the COVID years’. No doubt,

they have been transformative. In addition

to F&P products helping millions of patients,

the adaptations required to meet surges

in demand have moved us closer to our

long-term growth aspirations. That

transformation is accelerated by the boost

in our installed base of hospital hardware

that we achieved.

To put revenue in perspective, full-year

operating revenue for the 2019 financial year

was just over $1 billion – for the first time ever.

For the 2020 financial year, it was over

$1.2 billion and increased to nearly $2 billion for

the 2021 financial year. Now, it appears the need

for hospital respiratory support for COVID-19

may have peaked in many parts of the world

for the time being. For the 2022 financial year,

full-year operating revenue was $1.68 billion.

We had been planning for growth long before

COVID-19. The unanticipated increases in

earnings opened up some remarkable strategic

opportunities – to bring forward new product

development opportunities, build facilities

faster, invest more in clinical research, and

expand into new markets sooner than we

expected. We are looking forward to these

opportunities with excitement.

STRATEGIC PROGRESS

As a Board, we maintained a focus on reviewing

and validating the company’s strategy for

delivering sustainable profitable growth over the

long term and ensuring that we are investing

appropriately to achieve our objectives.

Research and development work carried on

throughout the pandemic at our Auckland

campus. As a result, the company has

announced a number of game-changing new

products: the Airvo 3 device for delivering

respiratory therapies, as well as Optiflow Switch

and Optiflow Trace, two new products designed

to facilitate the expanded use of Optiflow for

patients undergoing anesthetic procedures.

We continue to invest heavily into research

and development. In the 2022 financial year,

we spent $154 million, which was 9% of our

operating revenue.

SCOTT ST JOHN

Board Chair

The company is also continuing to develop
innovative products for obstructive sleep

apnea, launching the F&P Evora Full compact

full-face mask earlier in the financial year.

The mask recently received 510(k) regulatory

clearance from the FDA, and it is now being

marketed in the United States.

Consistent with our strategy to expand into

international markets, we now have sales

representatives located in 53 countries.

We are investing in hiring additional sales

representatives in new and existing markets

to ensure clinicians are educated about the

benefits of nasal high flow therapy for all types

of respiratory distress – beyond COVID-19.

We have made progress on adding facilities

that are important to our plans for growth.

Construction of our third building in Tijuana,

Mexico is almost complete, and earthworks

have started on the fifth building on our

Auckland campus. These buildings will further

expand our manufacturing space. Work is

progressing well on identifying and acquiring

a second campus in New Zealand, as well as a

new offshore manufacturing location. We will

announce those locations as soon as we can.

BOARD UPDATE

As we announced previously, Lisa McIntyre

joined the Board in October 2021 as an

independent director, adding a wealth

of experience in health and technology.

Succession planning remains one of our

priorities, and we are well advanced in our

process to appoint a further independent

director with the necessary skills and

experience to complement other members

of our Board. We expect to provide an update

on an appointment in the coming weeks. Fisher

& Paykel Healthcare continues to support the

Institute of Directors’ New Zealand Future

Directors’ programme, with Toni Moyes

completing her tenure in October 2021, and

we look forward to appointing another

participant in this programme.

DIVIDEND

Our consistent practice has been to pay

a dividend to shareholders. In light of our

continued strong performance, the Board has

approved an increased final dividend of 22.5

cents per share. This takes the total dividend

for the 2022 financial year to 39.5 cents per

share, an increase of 4 per cent from 2021.

The dividend will be paid on 6 July 2022.

ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL

RESPONSIBILITY

We recognise the responsibility we have

to a broad set of stakeholders – not only

to the patients that use our products every

day, but also to our shareholders, employees,

customers, suppliers, and communities.

To that end, I’m pleased to report progress

on a range of environmental and social

responsibility initiatives in the past year.

We have articulated our intention in a new

Environmental & Social Responsibility policy

and formed a governance group with

representatives from across the business.

This group will help provide long-term

strategic direction on how we continue to

make progress on our most material areas

as identified on page 25 of this annual report.

We are taking a broad view to assess not

only our own practices but also those of our

suppliers – the new ‘Suppliers’ section on page

54 of this report details the work underway

in this area. We continue to make progress

towards our science-based targets for climate

impact and have again achieved inclusion in

the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices for Asia

Pacific and Australia.

With respect to our local communities,

the work of the Fisher & Paykel Healthcare

Foundation is picking up pace, having

contributed to a range of initiatives during

its first year. For more details on all of

these efforts, please refer to the ‘Operating

Sustainably’ section on page 33 of this report.

PROFIT SHARE

On behalf of the Board, I want to thank the

employees of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare for

their adaptability and commitment. During

the 2022 financial year, they continued to

overcome difficult supply chain issues,

challenging operational schedules, and spikes

in absenteeism related to COVID-19. Despite

all this, they demonstrated to customers

that Fisher & Paykel Healthcare is a company

they can count on. To recognise their efforts,

the Board has approved for this year a

discretionary profit-sharing payment of

$19 million for employees who have worked

for the company for a qualifying period.

LOOKING AHEAD

While COVID-19 cases remain high in some

parts of the world, global hospitalisations

requiring respiratory support are currently

declining, and this is welcome and hopeful

news. It means sales representatives and

product teams can get back into hospitals

to meet with customers, and patients can get

back into sleep clinics. Surgical procedures

can proceed, and clinical trials can move ahead.

It means Fisher & Paykel Healthcare’s suppliers

and employees can get back to more normal

routines and a sustainable work-life balance.

We look forward to what’s in store for the

years ahead.

Report from the Managing
Director & Chief Executive Officer

The world appears to be in a much

different place to where we were

12 months ago and it has been

encouraging to see our people begin

to reconnect with each other, our

customers, and our partners in recent

months. We hope that conditions

continue to improve from here.

Getting to this point has not been

straightforward. For Fisher & Paykel Healthcare,

the past year was again marked by challenges

which tested us. We continued to respond to

waves of demand across the globe for our

life-preserving products, managed through

operational disruption caused by lockdowns

and Omicron-related absenteeism, and

navigated a host of global supply chain issues.

This required our people to plan and adapt,

and my sincere thanks go to our employees

across all our locations for their commitment to

get the job done under trying circumstances.

We again witnessed the resolve of our

customers, clinical partners and suppliers

who have been relentless in their efforts to

respond to COVID-19. As a company, we feel

enormous gratitude for this response – it has

played a major part in helping to reconnect

the world and restore some sense of normality

in many countries.

OUR NEAR-TERM OPPORTUNITY

We’ve now marked more than two years since

we first saw the initial demand signals out of

Wuhan for our respiratory products. With the

most acute phase of the pandemic behind us,

there are two key observations. First, we have

a unique opportunity to reach more patients

as we continue to demonstrate the broad

utility of our products in the hospital setting.

The pandemic resulted in a significant increase

in our installed base of Airvos and humidifiers

in hospitals across the globe – we effectively

sold 10 years’ worth of hospital hardware in

two. Many of these products were sold to new

users and we have welcomed the opportunity

to form relationships with new customers

and clinicians.

To achieve our long-term growth aspirations,

our focus for the near term is to build on our

enlarged footprint by educating users on the

wide-ranging benefits of Optiflow nasal high

flow therapy and our respiratory products.

We firmly believe that our products have

a clear role to play in improving care and

outcomes as we look beyond the pandemic.

Our track record before the onset of COVID-19,

and the growing body of clinical evidence that

supports the use of nasal high flow and our

other respiratory therapies, underline this.

LEWIS GRADON

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

10Section 01 | THE BUSINESS YEARFisher & Paykel Healthcare ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Building close relationships – something that
has always been at the core of our business

– is vital to this process. To that end, we are

continuing to grow our sales footprint in both

new and existing markets, and it’s great to see

more of our teams out in the market as travel

restrictions ease.

OUR LONG-TERM RUNWAY

The second observation is that we did not

let this once-in-a-generation event divert us

from our long-term course. Our teams have

remained focused on the long view and have

continued to innovate across our product

groups. The new devices and applications

that we are bringing to market, detailed below

and in the coming pages, demonstrate this.

We have launched two new products to

facilitate the use of Optiflow in anesthesia

applications – Optiflow Switch and Optiflow

Trace. These applications expand the market

opportunity within our hospital respiratory

support segment. Based on the existing

clinical evidence and our experience to date,

we estimate that the number of patients

annually that could benefit from Optiflow

nasal high flow during anesthesia is similar

to the annual number of general respiratory

patients that could benefit from Optiflow.

We are excited to announce the Airvo 3

following more than five years of research

and development. This is a revolutionary new

product which builds on the market-leading

Airvo 2 with even more advanced technology.

The Airvo 3 incorporates our OptiO

2

™ closed

loop system for targeted oxygen delivery and

an integrated battery to enable therapy while

a patient moves through different areas of the

hospital. It is now available in New Zealand and

will be launched more widely as we receive the

relevant regulatory clearances.

We are continuing to expand our obstructive

sleep apnea (OSA) offering with the Evora

Full mask, having recently secured 510(k)

regulatory clearance. This clears the way for

its sale in the United States after having earlier

been launched into New Zealand, Australia,

Europe and Canada. Our team worked hard

to optimise for both comfort and performance

on this mask and we look forward to getting

it into the hands of patients in the U.S.

Taken together, these developments

demonstrate our focus on the future and our

determination to keep innovating for patients.

Our team is excited about the long-term

runway that these provide us. For more detail

on these new products and others, please refer

to pages 16 and 17 of this report.

2022 FINANCIAL RESULT
Coming into the 2022 financial year, we knew

that we were lapping a truly unique year in

2021, making for a challenging comparison.

However, I’m pleased to report another strong

performance, one that was significantly

stronger than pre-pandemic levels.

Operating revenue for the 2022 financial year

was $1.68 billion, 15 per cent lower than the

previous financial year, or 14 per cent lower in

constant currency. This marks a 57 per cent

increase compared to the 2019 financial year

(before the pandemic).

Net profit after tax was $376.9 million,

28 per cent lower than the previous year,

or 30 per cent lower in constant currency.

Compared with the 2019 financial year, it

was up 80 per cent.

Our Hospital product group remained the

major driver – this segment includes products

for invasive ventilation, noninvasive ventilation

and surgery, in addition to the hardware and

consumables used for Optiflow nasal high flow.

Revenue for the Hospital product group was

$1.20 billion, a 19 per cent decrease compared

to the previous year and also 19 per cent lower

in constant currency. Compared with the 2019

financial year, it was up 88 per cent. Hospital

hardware sales were down 41 per cent constant

currency compared to the 2021 financial year,

and hospital consumables sales declined

5 per cent.

Our Homecare product group generated

revenue of $469.5 million, 1 per cent higher

than the previous year, and 2 per cent higher

in constant currency. Despite diagnosis rates

continuing to be hampered by COVID-19

during the year, and patient treatment still

being constrained by the supply of OSA

flow generators, our OSA mask revenue

increased 4 per cent for the year in constant

currency terms.

Gross margin for the year was 62.6 per cent,

or a 147 basis point decrease in constant

currency. High airfreight utilisation and

elevated freight rates continued to weigh

overall, impacting constant currency gross

margin by approximately 240 basis points

compared to pre-pandemic levels.

I’m pleased to report another

strong performance, one that

was significantly stronger

than pre-pandemic levels.

12Section 01|THE BUSINESS YEARFisher & Paykel Healthcare ANNUAL REPORT 2022

LOOKING FORWARD
Our experience over the last two years has

reinforced the importance of investing for the

future and having the ability to scale up on

short notice. The fact that we had recently

finished construction of our fourth building

on our Auckland campus at the outset of the

pandemic contributed to our ability to respond

as orders began flooding in. This approach

to future-proofing our business is continuing.

If we are to deliver the runway of growth and

opportunity mentioned earlier, we can’t afford

to stand still.

Over the last two financial years we have

sold $880 million of hospital hardware, the

equivalent of approximately 10 years’ hardware

sales prior to COVID-19. Our role now is to help

our customers change their clinical practice so

that this hardware will be used on an increasing

proportion of respiratory-compromised

patients throughout the hospital. We are not

yet able to forecast the pace of this change,

although the increasing body of clinical

evidence and clinical practice guidelines

developed independently of COVID-19 will

be very beneficial. We expect that increasing

utilisation of this hospital hardware over a

number of years will be one driver of strong

growth for the company in the future.

To ensure we are well-positioned to meet

demand for the ongoing use of this installed

base of hardware and accommodate our

strong new product pipeline, we are continuing

to invest in our infrastructure to ensure it

supports our long-term growth.

We will be investing $700 million in land and

buildings over approximately five years. This

includes the fifth building which will complete

our Auckland campus, a second New Zealand

site, and a new offshore manufacturing facility.

Earthworks are progressing steadily for the

fifth building – the plans are coming to life

and we look forward to seeing structures go

into place over time. For both the second

New Zealand site and the new offshore

manufacturing location, our work to identify

and acquire new sites is progressing well, and

we will provide market updates on each

development as soon as we are able.

THANK YOU

The last two years have been remarkable

for our company. What’s certain is that this

journey has made us more attuned to our

purpose of improving care and outcomes. It

was an important reminder of the responsibility

we have to ensure we’re doing all we can as a

company to create the best-possible products

for patients. We carry that responsibility with

us now as we move forward, and we are as

determined and as energised as ever to

keep delivering.

I want to again thank our customers, suppliers

and clinical partners for their support. And to

our shareholders: thank you, as always, for

your support. We are looking forward to all

that’s ahead, and we’re glad you are on

board with us.

THE COMPANYTogether, we work to

improve care and outcomes through inspired

and world-leading healthcare solutions.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare is a
leading designer, manufacturer

and marketer of products and

systems for use in acute and

chronic respiratory care, surgery

and the treatment of obstructive

sleep apnea. Our medical devices

and technologies help clinicians

deliver the best possible patient

care. They enable patients to

transition into less-acute care

settings, recover more quickly

and avoid more serious conditions.

Because of our products and therapies,

many patients can be treated in the

comfort of their own homes instead of in

the hospital. Not only does this make life

better for the patient, it reduces costs for

the world’s healthcare systems.

Product innovation has been the

cornerstone of our success since 1969,

when the first prototype respiratory

humidifier was developed. Today, we

are still striving to lead the way in the

development of medical devices and

technologies by continuously improving

our products, pioneering new therapies,

and changing clinical practice.

What matters most
Investors and other stakeholders

are increasingly using non financial

information on other material topics

to make decisions. Those include

trends and risks that could affect

a company’s long-term value, such

as climate change, as well as the

economic and social impacts of

doing business.

We worked with an independent

consultant, to obtain feedback from multiple

stakeholders. The result is a materiality

assessment informed by the principles of

the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards.

Within this framework, ‘materiality’ differs

from financial and audit interpretations and

NZX/ASX definitions of material information.

As we identified material issues, we also

considered our unique business risks, the

United Nations Sustainable Development

Goals, and feedback we receive through

regular interactions with customers,

clinicians, suppliers and investors.

Creating an environment where our

people feel a connection with our

business is something we strongly

believe in. Our intention is to have

good people who contribute the

most they can over the long term

and to create a positive lasting

impact on society.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION

Our company culture guides us to do the

right thing, and we know our words and

actions today will impact future generations.

We focus on nurturing a positive and inclusive

culture based on trust and respect, that

encourages our people to speak openly and

is free from bias, discrimination, harassment

or bullying. We strive to provide a high quality

of life for our employees and support our

suppliers to do the same for their people. We

use data and insight to identify bias, drill down

to the root cause and take action to address it.

Harnessing the diverse skills of our people

and the unique lens that each person brings,

combined with strong support from managers

and leaders, is a powerful union that we believe

provides the pathway to belonging, and

connection to our business and each other.

A strong example of this is in the growth and

empowerment of our employee groups, formed

RACHEL MILLER (SHE/THEY)
Our new Diversity and Inclusion Manager.

IDEA Council (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Awareness Council)

The IDEA Council is made up of seven

volunteers who champion diversity and

inclusion, act as trusted advisors to the

executive management team and Board and

help ensure sustainable, equitable outcomes

from diversity and inclusion initiatives.

The council grew to include more people and

created an online community to encourage

others to share their history and experiences

and discuss diversity and inclusion topics.

It also continued to build on focus areas

around gender and ethnicity – see the

table below.

While the demands of the pandemic

restricted the capacity for employees in

our manufacturing and operations teams

to participate in council projects, work has

begun to restructure and develop further

governance around the council to enable

them to participate. More opportunities to

meet and work alongside employee groups

has strengthened the council’s connections

in this area of the business.

In partnership with Diversity Works

New Zealand, the council has begun to

develop a long-term, global approach

to diversity and inclusion which will be

completed in the 2023 financial year.

Focus areas – 2022 Financial Year

R&Dversity ProjectCultural Values Project Unconscious Bias Training

Volunteers began work to identify

solutions to address issues

engineers experienced based

on their gender and improve low

female representation in R&D at

senior levels. Priority areas are

making meetings and model shops

more inclusive and improving

visibility and accessibility of

female role models.

The root causes of under-

representation of some ethnicities

in technical or higher paid

roles were identified this year.

Recommendations to improve

recruitment and learning and

development practices are key

objectives for the 2023 financial

year. These include improving

the visibility of job opportunities

and available courses, seeing our

products in action and addressing

bias in recruitment.

A three-part series of unconscious

bias workshops was rolled out to

senior leaders, HR practitioners

and diversity champions. This

programme will be incorporated

into the learning and development

catalogue for all people managers to

undertake. An awareness campaign

on bias and inclusion to support

the learning featured in these

workshops will begin in the 2023

financial year.

They form a central part of our diversity

ecosystem and one of the ways we find

insight into equity and inclusion issues

affecting our people. This year, we enabled

the Spectra, Manaaki and Women in

Engineering groups to be part of key

business projects to incorporate inclusive

design solutions in our diversity

infrastructure and built environment.

These groups and individuals across

the business also worked to support

our cultural intelligence with significant

contributions to our pandemic response,

Māori cultural awareness and the

preservation of te reo and tikanga Māori,

and learning opportunities for women

in technical roles.

In March 2022, we appointed a Diversity

Creating a welcoming and inclusive

workplace was at the centre of Spectra’s

activities this year.

The group, who celebrate and enable the

queer and gender-diverse community, worked

on gender-inclusive data collection, developed

gender-affirmation guidelines and ensured

more gender-neutral facilities were adopted in

the design of our fifth building in New Zealand.

Spectra adapted gender identity data fields

in the new HR system to ensure users were

provided with two options: either selection

from a wide range of choices, or to describe

their identity in their own words. The system

also allows for changes to gender identity

at any time, recognising that this can change

over time.

FY23 diversity and inclusion objectives

Our diversity and inclusion priorities for the 2023 financial year are:

• Complete the gender representation

diagnostic in our sales regions and

Mexico manufacturing plant (carried

over from FY22).

• Identify initiatives to improve gender

representation in our global locations

where required (carried over from FY22).

• Complete implementation of two initiatives

to improve female representation in the

R&D function.

• Identify and commence implementation

of two initiatives to improve waged

employee progression.

initiatives, with some of these being carried over into the 2023 financial year.

Manaaki
Manaaki, our indigenous leadership group,

continues to grow and support our people

with Māori heritage to develop their leadership

skills and connection to their Māoritanga

(culture and traditions). Manaaki also played

a significant role to improve our cultural

awareness with language courses and

kapa haka, event celebrations and business

engagement throughout the year.

Our Manaaki group presenting to members of the wider team.

A collaboration with indigenous coaches,

Rise2025, provided members with a further

opportunity to expand their skill set through

the creation of a committee governance

structure, purpose, values, strategy and

objectives, which can be transferred to

new employee groups as they form.

In 2021, Manaaki launched ‘Kimiora’, a

six-month learning and communications

programme aimed at helping our people

improve their wellbeing. Kimi means “to seek”,

and ora means “life or wellbeing”. Based on the

Te Whare Tapa Wha model of health, Kimiora

Pride Month gave Spectra an opportunity

to fulfil their goals to increase visibility of

the Rainbow community and strengthen

connections. ‘Authenticity’ was the theme

of this year’s events. This included a morning

tea, a visit from drag star Kita Mean

demonstrating courage, fun and authenticity,

an ice cream fundraiser securing $2,000 for

Outline Aotearoa (a support and counselling

hotline), and a Rainbow trivia quiz.

The most impactful event was an online

panel discussion entitled ‘Enabling everyone

to be authentically themselves’. It featured

our CEO and two other members of the

executive team. The discussion sparked

meaningful conversation and reminded

people that everyone has a voice.

Women in Engineering

Providing a community and a platform for

women in technical roles at F&P to support

each other and provide the necessary tools

to enable their professional and personal

growth is the purpose of our Women in

Engineering group.

The group has developed a vision where

every woman in a technical role at F&P

feels empowered and is enabled to fulfil

their professional and personal potential

and succeed in their roles.

During 2021, the group ran workshops on

the Imposter Syndrome, Growth Mindset and

Mentorships. They have also developed an

active and supportive online community.

Our ‘Breaking the Bias’ workshop held on our New Zealand campus in

March 2022.

showcased key messages around mental,

physical, spiritual and social health through

our digital communication channels. This was

reinforced with events including yoga classes,

a panel discussion with sleep experts, financial

wellbeing courses and a comedy event for

friends and whānau to enjoy together in

their own homes.

‘Creating a workplace where it is wonderful

to be Māori’ is the group’s vision, and signature

events for Matariki (recently designated a

national holiday in New Zealand) and Te Wiki

o Te Reo Māori (Māori language week) are

planned. Developing partnerships with iwi and

assisting with the design of a multidimensional

cultural hub on our New Zealand site will be

key projects moving forward.

Since the first Manaaki group graduated in

March 2021, many have moved into roles or

taken up opportunities to put their new skills

and confidence into practice.

I learned enabled me to communicate

managers, and project stakeholders. I learned

frameworks that have helped me to foster my

me, and I’m grateful that more individuals

This will be achieved through facilitating

workshops, developing communications,

continuing to develop support forums and

hosting social events. The group are also

actively involved in R&Dversity, our project

We welcomed fresh cohorts of graduates and interns into our team over

the course of the year.

ATTRACTING TALENT

Continuing to meet global demand for our

product, and ensuring we have enough people

in the right roles to deliver on this, required

substantial efforts from our recruitment team

in the 2022 financial year. This process was

once more disrupted by COVID-19-related

containment measures and border closures.

We continued with initiatives implemented

in the 2021 financial year, using an end-to-end

virtual recruitment process for New Zealand

salaried workers when lockdown measures

prohibited on-site visitors. In both New Zealand

and Mexico, we used recruitment partners to

assist with temporary and permanent

resources during peak production periods,

particularly in the early months of 2022

when Omicron-related absenteeism created

staffing pressures.

Adding people to our global sales offices in

order to provide our customers with the

necessary education and technical support

continued to be a major focus for the year and

will remain so during the 2023 financial year.

LIVING AND WORKING WITH COVID-19

To ensure we could continue to keep our

people safe while fulfilling our global

responsibility to provide our products, we

introduced a range of safety initiatives on our

large manufacturing sites in New Zealand and

Mexico. This included encouraging as many of

our people as possible to get vaccinated, as

research showed it is the best way to protect

ourselves and others.

We are proud of our people who attended

learning sessions, got vaccinated, tested for

COVID-19, organised and volunteered for clinics

and events, supported their teammates and

colleagues through their fears, and spoke to

and for their families and communities so we

could understand each other better.

New Zealand

Vaccine booths and leaflets in multiple

languages kick-started the new wave of safety

measures in New Zealand. This was followed by

on-site saliva testing, vaccination clinics and a

vaccine drive-through for family and friends.

Later in the year, we stepped up our education

campaign through Talanoa+ and ‘Experts Live’,

two events designed to help our people

understand the benefits of being vaccinated

and to dispel myths and disinformation.

Vaccinations on-site

Over 1,400 people were vaccinated on site

within seven days during a strict regional

lockdown through our clinics and “home

bubble” drive-through. Twenty health

professionals took an average of four minutes

to vaccinate our people and their families.

Those who took part enjoyed tunes from

our own radio station, and ice creams while

in observation.

Mexico

T-shirts with “I got vaccinated!” printed on

them were a highlight in Mexico, where buses

were arranged to take people to local

vaccination points.

A wide range of other measures to protect

our people in Mexico was implemented, some

mirroring the medical, HR and communication

support available in New Zealand, while others

were unique to the Mexico team.

These included drinking water with vitamin C,

outdoor hand basins, footwear sanitation mats,

temperature-monitoring cameras at entries and

exits and daily desk sanitising.

Members of our Mexico team who supported our vaccination efforts.

Our New Zealand team set up a drive-through vaccination centre on our

site in September 2021 for employees and their family members.

Re-establishing connections in the U.S.
COVID-19’s impact in the U.S. and its effect

on people and the workplace has been

well-documented throughout the pandemic.

Following public health guidance and our own

safety precautions, the California-based U.S.

team worked remotely from March 2020

through March 2022.

In April 2022, the team moved into a new office

and service centre after several delays caused

by new COVID-19 variants.

Mirroring the style of the New Zealand campus,

it offers ergonomic furniture, quiet zones and

collaboration space, and amenities to support

wellbeing. This will also serve to attract new

people as we grow.

Experts Live

The ‘Experts Live’ educational session

featured a well-respected, independent panel

(in-person and online) to share their insights

and experience on all things COVID-19, the

vaccine and managing well-being. More than

600 people attended.

Talanoa+

There are many people with Pasifika heritage

at our New Zealand site and there was

particular concern about the virus and

disinformation spreading amongst the South

Auckland, Pasifika and Māori communities.

To support our people from these communities,

we developed Talanoa+ sessions. Talanoa is

a form of dialogue from the Pacific Islands,

and ours were designed to share information

about COVID-19 that was personable, relevant,

and culturally appropriate. Six sessions

featured guest speakers including a COVID-19

survivor, a doctor, and spokespeople from

the travel industry who could talk about the

reality of travelling during the pandemic.

The response was hugely positive and, at

times, deeply emotional.

Our Talanoa+ sessions created space for discussion around the vaccine.

Our new office in Irvine, California.

“ I wasn’t expecting to see Pacific

people facilitating this Talanoa+

but when I walked in and saw

them dressed in their Pacific

attire and speaking my language,

I was instantly connected and

very excited.”

“ I think the information delivered

was very good. The speakers were

very encouraging, and it felt like

a safe place to share and gather

information. The opportunity to

be here was great.”

Community
One of the hallmarks of a successful

business is looking after the wider

community. We partner with like-

minded organisations to identify

and facilitate opportunities to

create shared value.

FISHER & PAYKEL HEALTHCARE

FOUNDATION

On 22 March 2021, the Fisher & Paykel

Healthcare Foundation was officially

registered as a charitable entity, with the

company committing $20 million as part of

its establishment. The Foundation’s purpose

is supporting healthier communities with a

focus on three key areas: health, education

BBM Christmas Appeal

Fundamental to the Foundation’s activities

is to connect Fisher & Paykel Healthcare

employees with work that the Foundation

is supporting in the community.

An organisation close to our people’s hearts

is Dave Letele’s Brown Buttabean Motivation

(BBM) which has worked throughout the

pandemic to support South Auckland families.

During the 2022 financial year Fisher & Paykel

Healthcare employees raised around $7,000

and the Foundation contributed an additional

$25,000 towards BBM’s Drive-Thru Christmas

Appeal. This money went towards the purchase

of around 800 presents, gift-wrapped and

delivered by our volunteers, and BBM’s

ongoing operations. We were pleased to

see Dave be presented with the Kiwibank

New Zealand Local Hero of the Year award

in late March, recognising the impact of his

efforts in the Auckland community.

CONSULTING MANA WHENUA ON TE MĀRA

PĀTENGI O TE WAI O URU

Shortly after the Daniell Building opening in

July 2020, we began to plan our fifth building

to support our continued growth. Building 5

will house research and development,

manufacturing and distribution facilities to

support over 1,000 additional employees.

One of the key lessons from the Daniell

Building construction process was the

importance of inviting and considering the

voices of mana whenua from the outset,

particularly after the discovery of an ancient

shell midden area on that building’s site. Mana

whenua means the indigenous people (Māori)

who have historic and territorial rights over

the land and a special cultural and spiritual

relationship with the environment – a matter

of national importance under New Zealand’s

Resource Management Act.

In preparation for Building 5 groundworks, we

engaged three iwi who declared an interest in

the site: Ngāi Tai Ki Tāmaki, Ngāti Whanaunga

and Te Ākitai Waiohua, as well as

archaeologists. Key to the success of the

project moving forward was to prioritise iwi

protocols and consultations and develop

cultural monitoring methods. The site was

named Te Māra Pātengi o Te Wai o Uru by

mana whenua. Enabling works to prepare the

ground for Building 5 began in October 2021.

The building’s theme, ‘New Zealand Grown’,

is inspired by the area’s rich cultural history.

The theme will inform the colour palette and

interior design themes throughout the

building. It is currently expected to be

completed in 2025.

48Section 03 | OPERATING SUSTAINABLYFisher & Paykel Healthcare ANNUAL REPORT 2022

A cultural history of the site
Archaeological surveys of the Building 5

site indicated large-scale gardening by

Māori around the 18th century. Seventeen

rua (storage pits) of various sizes and with

complex drainage channels were found. A

shell midden site also indicated where people

were likely to have lived next to the rua, used

to store kūmara (sweet potato) crops.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare’s full site is believed

to have had many successive occupations and

uses over the centuries including a small fishing

camp, gardens and a papakainga (village)

outside the Daniell building footprint. After

the Land Wars, the area was used by a

European landowner for grazing. His farmstead

was erected on top of the former papakainga

and its well is still visible today.

Archaeological work being performed on the Building 5 site

before the commencement of earthworks.

GLOBAL INITIATIVES

In addition to the Fisher & Paykel Healthcare

Foundation-led initiatives in New Zealand,

our teams across our global sites select

and sponsor community initiatives which

connect to our purpose. In North America,

the UK and Australia, our people have

again participated in a range of fundraising

activities and donations to support

charitable organisations. This included

raising money for sleep health and chronic

obstructive pulmonary disease charities.

SUSTAINABLE TAX STRATEGY

Collecting and paying tax is an important

contribution to the communities in which

we operate. In support of our overall business

strategy and objectives, we pursue a tax

strategy that is principled, transparent and

sustainable in the long term.

Our Group’s tax contribution includes paying

corporate income taxes, employment-related

taxes and other taxes that we pay or collect

on behalf of governments. We support the

OECD Business and Industry Advisory

Committee (BIAC) Statement of Tax Principles

for International Business and have endorsed

these principles in our published Group Tax

Strategy, which was reviewed and approved

by our Board in November 2021.

Our tax strategy sets out our approach to

tax governance and tax management and is

aligned to our conservative approach towards

tax risk. Its primary purpose is to ensure that

we comply with all of our tax obligations,

undertake all transactions with a business

purpose considering all of our stakeholders,

and have an open and transparent relationship

with tax authorities.

Our business model is centred in New Zealand,

and the majority of our taxes are paid in

New Zealand. Most of our manufacturing

activities and tangible assets are located

in Auckland. All of our R&D is performed in

New Zealand, and the associated intellectual

property is owned in New Zealand as well.

49Section 03 | OPERATING SUSTAINABLYFisher & Paykel Healthcare ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Environment
Our environment refers to the

natural resources required to design,

produce, ship and use products and

therapies. Our intention is to create

a positive lasting impact on society

and the environment.

We recognise we have a responsibility to

care for the natural environment while we

pursue our business goals. Climate change

is a growing concern among our customers,

investors, and our own people. Furthermore,

environmental legislation is emerging in

countries where we manufacture and sell

our products, so it is important that we strive

for continuous improvement in this area.

Our approach is to operate our business

efficiently and responsibly while improving

care and outcomes for patients. We measure

key environmental metrics, including waste

management, recycling and water usage,

and publicly report on these metrics. As part

of our eco-efficiency strategy, we have

established collaborative teams to work

on a range of topics, including ecodesign,

sustainable packaging, biobased and circular

materials, and environmental life cycle

assessment. We believe that by investing in

these initiatives, we can be more innovative

and successful in the long term.

CARBON COMMITMENTS
In New Zealand, we have been measuring our carbon footprint since 2012, and each year we

engage Toitū Envirocare to conduct third-party carbon footprint audits. In 2019, we set science-

based targets for Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions, which are within our operational control, along

with a Scope 3 supplier engagement target. Those targets were approved by the Science Based

Targets Initiative as consistent with levels required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. Our

target is to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 4.2 per cent annually using the 2019 financial

year as a baseline.

FY2024 TargetFY2029 TargetFY2034 Target

Direct emissions – fuels, refrigerants, electricity and heat. 8,8466,4944,143

CARBON EMISSIONS

Our carbon audit for the 2022 financial year

shows a carbon footprint of 469,198 tonnes

of CO

2

e, representing a reduction from

previous years as the proportion of

airfreight was reduced.

Scope 1 and 2

During the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for

some of our key products increased by four

and five times during the 2021 financial year.

We moved to 24/7 shifts in New Zealand and

Mexico, and this increase in operational activity

resulted in higher electricity use and other

direct emissions. In the 2022 financial year, we

saw Scope 2 emissions decrease, while Scope 1

emissions were elevated compared to 2021

levels amid a heavier travel footprint for our

sales teams with COVID-19 travel restrictions

easing in major offshore markets. In the long

term, we remain committed to decoupling

carbon emissions from production levels, as

the impact of COVID-19 diminishes. We have

been piloting an internal carbon price during

FY22 to factor carbon impact into our

business decisions.

Scope 3

The use of airfreight is one of our most

significant sources of carbon emissions, and

whenever possible, we ship our products by

sea freight. During the COVID-19 pandemic,

we had to rely more heavily on airfreight to

import raw materials and ship finished goods.

As a result, we reported a significant increase

in Scope 3 emissions during the FY20 and

FY21 periods. We have since seen a reduction

of airfreight throughout FY22.

We remain committed to educating and

encouraging our suppliers to reduce their

carbon emissions and set their own Science

Based Targets. We have committed that 87 per

cent of our upstream suppliers (by spend) will

have set targets in line with the Science Based

Targets Initiative by 2024. We confirmed during

the 2022 financial year that 20 suppliers have

also set Science Based Targets or equivalent

targets for carbon reduction.

51Section 03 | OPERATING SUSTAINABLYFisher & Paykel Healthcare ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Environment – Continued
WATER USAGE

We have established an absolute water

reduction target of 2 per cent per year. During

the 2020 financial year, we exceeded that

target, reducing water usage by 7 per cent.

In the 2021 financial year, we significantly

increased production on key products for

hospital treating patients with COVID-19. In

the 2021 financial year, water usage increased

as we boosted production on key products for

hospital treating patients with COVID-19. Water

usage remained elevated during the 2022

financial year amid construction projects

and as staff returned to office spaces.

GREEN TEAM

Our volunteer-led Green Team now includes

more than 450 people promoting

environmental sustainability on our Auckland

campus and in the community. A highlight was

our annual Sustainability Week in November,

which took place across multiple global

locations. In New Zealand, this included onsite

recycling centre tours, a sustainable transport

showcase with our cycling and electric vehicle

communities, and a quiz covering a range of

topics from our carbon footprint to the UN

Sustainable Development Goals. Our UK team

held a sustainable healthcare discussion,

a clean-up event and made environment

pledges for the coming year, while our

events in Mexico covered a range of themes

including water conservation, fast fashion,

and sustainable living.

ISCC PLUS CERTIFICATION

In October 2021, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare

New Zealand became International

Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC)

PLUS certified for the first time. ISCC’s goals

are to provide certification solutions for fully

traceable and environmentally, socially and

economically sustainable supply chains. ISCC

PLUS is a voluntary sustainability certification

which has allowed our company to source and

trial a range of sustainable materials that are

ISCC PLUS certified using a mass balancing

approach. This is an important step towards

reducing the carbon embodied in the materials

that our products are made from and reducing

our Scope 3 emissions.

MEXICO SOLAR ARRAY
The first phase of our solar installation project

at our Tijuana, Mexico site is now on the roof

of our second building, with an array of 1,300

solar panels installed and commissioned on

the roof of our third building. This is the first

of three phases that will see solar panels

cover the roof space on our second and third

manufacturing buildings on the site. Once the

entire array is operational, we expect that it will

fulfil 40 per cent of the overall site’s electricity

requirements. This array complements our

existing solar installation on the roof of our

Stewart Building in New Zealand, comprised of

270 panels installed and commissioned in 2017.

MESSAGE FROM OUR MANAGING DIRECTOR

AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER,

LEWIS GRADON

Our firm belief in doing the right

thing and creating a lasting

positive impact goes beyond our

commitment to patients – it also

applies to our supply chain.

We are focused on building trusted long-

term relationships with our suppliers across

the globe to maximise opportunities for

companies and communities to thrive, all

while promoting safe working environments

and sustainable outcomes.

As part of our efforts to source responsibly

and uphold human rights in our supply chain,

we select and collaborate with suppliers that

align with our values, and provide education

and support on relevant standards. This is all

anchored in our view that corporate social

responsibility and sustainability are inextricably

linked to the way we do business.

The past two years have been enormously

difficult for global supply chains, and as

we write this, we are still managing through

logistical challenges caused by ongoing

lockdowns and the shock of a major conflict

in Ukraine. Despite this, we are determined

not to lose sight of the responsibility we have

to do the right thing and to keep the focus

on long-term outcomes.

Our intention with this new ‘Suppliers’ section

in our annual report is to begin disclosing

more of our efforts in the area of sustainable

procurement. We acknowledge that there is

much work to be done, but we want to ensure

that as we scale, we do so sustainably.

RESPONSIBLE SOURCING OF MINERALS
We are committed to the responsible sourcing

of minerals, ensuring that our procurement

is undertaken in an ethical and sustainable

manner that safeguards the human rights of

everyone in our global supply chain, preserves

the environment and mitigates other risks.

‘Conflict minerals’ is a term used to define

minerals mined in conditions where armed

conflict and human rights abuses may occur,

in locations identified as Conflict-Affected and

High-Risk Areas (CAHRAs) under Regulation

(EU) 2017/821. Of particular concern are tin,

tantalum, tungsten, and gold (minerals

commonly referred to as “3TG”). We recognise

the importance of actively mitigating human

rights abuses and other risks related to the

extraction of 3TG and other minerals.

To ensure Fisher & Paykel Healthcare is aware

of the indirect raw material sources within our

supply chain, specific questions related to the

use of conflict minerals are included within our

selection process. For existing suppliers, we

actively review, assess and mitigate any risks,

which includes assessing annually updated

information from the Responsible Minerals

Assurance Process (RMAP), an approach

created by the Responsible Minerals Initiative

(RMI) to help companies make better decisions

about mineral sourcing.

ERADICATING MODERN SLAVERY

As part of our commitment to do the right

thing, we recognise that we have a role to play

in guarding against and eradicating modern

slavery. We have processes in place that

identify and address modern slavery risks

within our supply chain and aid our

procurement decisions.

These processes include our Code of

Conduct and our Supplier Code of Conduct

(outlined above), and we have evolved our

procedures over the 2022 financial year to

include specific modern slavery observations

in our supplier site visits. We have begun

surveying suppliers to understand their risk

profile, have commenced the hiring process

for a sustainable procurement specialist to

be based in Asia and are in the process of

contracting a third party to assist with a

deep-dive assessment on certain aspects

of our supply chain.

We fully support the principles in the United

Nations Universal Declaration of Human

Rights and the International Labour

Organisation Declaration on Fundamental

Principles and Rights at Work, including

non-discrimination, freedom of association

and collective bargaining, and freedom from

forced and child labour.

FOCUS AREAS FOR FY23 AND FY24

• LAUNCH our new Sustainable

Procurement Framework to suppliers

• COMPLETE recruitment of sustainable

procurement specialist to cover the

Asia region

• SELECT third-party specialist for

deep dive of high-risk areas of

our supply chain

• IMPROVE internal and external

reporting and disclosure

• CONTINUE DEVELOPING and

measuring key performance

indicators to monitor effectiveness

of our initiatives

• CONTINUE TO EDUCATE suppliers

on our sustainability goals

(i.e. Science Based Targets)

• EXTEND our Ecodesign programme

SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT

We are committed to building a supply chain

aligned with our approach to corporate social

responsibility and sustainability. We use an

integrated enterprise resource planning system

and a strong quality management system

to ensure that our supply chain is transparent

and coordinated across our wider supply

chain network.

Our Supplier Code of Conduct reflects our

values and expectations for all suppliers,

contractors and consultants who provide

goods or services to our group of companies,

as well as their affiliates.

We will continue to verify and validate our

environmental, social and ethical performance

and that of our suppliers, and work to

continuously improve this performance.

We seek relationships with suppliers who

share a common commitment to:

1. Incorporate quality business processes

within their day-to-day operations.

2. Conduct their business ethically and

with integrity.

3. Comply with all laws and regulations.

4. Respect human and employee rights.

5. Promote and maintain a health and safety

culture within their organisation.

6. Design for sustainability.

7. Monitor and minimise any negative

impacts on the environment.

8. Have systems in place to ensure business

continuity, continuous improvement and

protection of intellectual property.

While materials are procured from all over

the globe, a large portion of the externally

procured materials originate from suppliers

in Asia and North America. To support our

suppliers and ensure transparency, our local

teams personally interact with and visit our

suppliers’ operations on a regular basis.

SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT

We aspire to impact society in a positive way

and to develop, manufacture and distribute

our products in accordance with principles of

sustainable development. The raw materials

and components we use to manufacture our

products come from a network of suppliers

around the globe. Achieving our vision

depends not only on what we do, but on the

activities of our supply chain. For that reason,

we seek to purchase goods and services from

suppliers that minimise negative impacts and

increase positive outcomes through sustainable

and ethical business practices. Our practices

are based on and aligned with ISO20400 for

Sustainable Procurement.

Risk management
Our approach to risk management is

to identify and manage risks within

acceptable levels. While no risk

management system can ever be

infallible, we seek to improve the

quality of our business decisions

by applying a business risk

management framework aligned

with international standards.

GOVERNANCE OF RISK

Our Board is committed to its role of ensuring

quality, safety, compliance and effective risk

management. The Board provides oversight

of senior leadership’s management of risk.

The Board meets regularly with key risk

management functional leaders and receives

regular reports from senior representatives

on material risk and mitigation strategies.

The Audit & Risk Committee reports to and

assists the Board by reviewing and ensuring

our business risk management processes

(excluding any risks related to quality, safety

and regulatory functions) can provide reliable

information to the Board on the status of major

risks that could impact our business.

The Quality, Safety & Regulatory Committee

reports to and assists the Board by reviewing

our quality, health and safety and regulatory

risk management approach. The Committee

ensures effective mechanisms and internal

controls are in place to identify and manage

areas of material risk and maintain compliance

with applicable regulations.

BUSINESS RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

We have made significant progress in aligning

our risk management approach to the latest

updates to the ISO3100 Risk Management

standard. Our approach to integrating

quantitative risk analysis into day-to-day

management and business operations

continues to be developed. This framework

helps to ensure we resolve internally-identified

risks in compliance with laws and regulations;

plan, make decisions and prioritise

opportunities and threats to strategic

objectives and new product introductions;

and respond in a prompt, efficient and

effective manner to future events that

create uncertainty or pose a significant risk.

RISK ANALYSIS

We carry out risk analysis to support

material business decisions. The relevant

stakeholders are involved in such evaluations,

and findings are communicated to key

decision-makers and management. When

making a decision, carrying out a business

activity or approving an initiative, we apply

a range of quantitative risk management

techniques to measure uncertainty.

BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING

Over the past several years, we have increased

our focus on business continuity planning.

Our goal is to anticipate and plan for potential

crises that may cause a significant disruption

to our business and subsequently impact

customers, products and shareholders.

We review our business continuity framework

regularly to adapt to new and evolving threats,

such as climate-related events, cybersecurity

incidents, changes due to business growth,

and increased customer demand for products.

We also conduct simulations regularly to

provide confidence that our framework is

tested, embedded and continuously improved.

The experience of managing through the

COVID-19 pandemic has developed our

people’s ‘muscle memory’ and strengthened

our ability to respond in a crisis. It created

opportunities to identify subject-matter

experts across the business, built relationships

between people previously unconnected,

and strengthened key relationships with our

suppliers and customers, as well as leaders

in government, trade and foreign affairs.

Our executive management team is confident

that the business is more resilient now than

before the COVID-19 pandemic began.

MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS AND STRATEGIES TO MITIGATE
After completing our risk management processes, as well as the materiality assessment described in the Company section of this report, we have

identified key areas of risk for our business and strategies to mitigate them.

AreaRiskStrategies to mitigate

Product quality and

patient safety

Patients are harmed as a result of

using our products. This may result

in product recalls and potentially

product liability litigation.

We operate a worldwide quality management system related to the design, testing and manufacture of our

products. Furthermore, we foster an organisational attitude of product safety and continuous improvement.

Health and safetyWork-related injuries or illnesses Our global health, safety and wellbeing standards are aligned with ISO 45001, with greater emphasis on

managing critical risks.

We design and implement preventative and recovery risk controls for critical health and safety risks across

our global business.

We report our health and safety progress regularly to the Board of Directors and to the Quality, Safety &

Regulatory Committee three times a year.

Market accessMaintaining regulatory compliance

is required to market and sell our

products in certain countries

We have a regulatory affairs process that enables us to obtain and maintain product licenses, as well as

a quality management system that ensures compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

We have monitoring steps in place to evaluate the effectiveness of our programmes, and our executive

management team conducts regular management reviews.

Intellectual propertyThird parties asserting IP rights

against us

We have a comprehensive patent portfolio across our technologies and we actively and robustly manage IP

litigation risk. As part of our product development phase, we conduct freedom-to-operate searches during

product design. We monitor competitor patent filings and take action as required.

Sustainable

profitable growth

Foreign exchange lossesCurrency risk is hedged in accordance with the Board-approved hedging procedure. The hedging procedure

aims to reduce the impact of short-term currency fluctuations on our cash flow. We use derivative financial

instruments to hedge exposures in the current and future years. A diversity of currency exposures also

provides some natural hedge.

Business continuityContinuity and quality of supplyWe actively monitor our end-to-end processes and systems through an internal risk management process

and implement actions to prevent disruption. We use a business impact analysis to identify, understand

and quantify the impact of a material disruption to a key facility, location, supplier or business process. This

approach enables us to prioritise the most significant potential exposures to the business. It is also aligned

with our crisis planning framework.

Cyber security and

data protection

Cyber security attack resulting

in disruption to operations and

data breach

To manage our risk and protect the data entrusted to us, we are constantly reviewing and honing our control

mechanisms to ensure our protections can proactively respond to developing cyber threats. We continue to

use independent reviews to test and identify potential risks to ensure we focus on the right cyber risks.

63Section 03 | OPERATING SUSTAINABLYFisher & Paykel Healthcare ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Risk management – Continued
PRODUCT QUALITY AND PATIENT SAFETY

Patient safety remains our highest priority,

so our products have to meet the highest

quality standards. We manage this risk through

processes that drive continuous improvement

in quality throughout the lifecycle of our

products. These include:

• Proactive quality control mechanisms

within our manufacturing operations

• Collecting and using data and statistical

analysis make improvements

• Interventions to correct a process before

product quality is compromised.

These processes help to ensure that our

customers and patients receive high-quality

products that are safe and effective.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

At Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, we are

committed to ensuring the health, safety,

and wellbeing of our people. As is the case

each year, keeping our people and products

safe has been our highest priority.

Operating safely during a COVID-19

environment was again a major feature

during the financial year. In New Zealand, the

Auckland region was placed into lockdown

in August 2021 and then an Omicron surge

began to take hold in the early stages of 2022.

As an essential service, our site was able to

continue operating throughout this period.

We continued with our safety approach

introduced in the 2021 financial year, including

mandatory masks, social distancing, extra

cleaning protocols and Bluetooth contact

tracing cards.

We also ran an on-site vaccination program

for employees and their families, provided

on-site testing, and continued our special

leave entitlements to ensure people could take

time off work if they needed to self-isolate

without having to worry about losing income.

At our Mexico site, we continued the

preventative measures introduced during

the prior year. These included the wearing

of masks and goggles, and the use of

sanitising mats and cleaning kits. Capacity

limits were set for meeting rooms, and acrylic

dividers were added in manufacturing areas

and cafeterias.

Another major theme for the year was the

future-proofing of our New Zealand and

Mexico sites and ensuring the ongoing

expansion work underway across the

business was being performed in the

safest-possible manner.

Our New Zealand health, safety and wellbeing

team supported the ongoing construction of

our fifth building site, have overseen a raft

of safety improvements around the wider

site including a new heavy-vehicle ring road,

pick-up and drop-off zones and other

pedestrian safety measures.

In order to maximise our site capacity amid

growing demand for our products, we also

assisted with the safe relocation of a major

raw materials inwards goods facility on our

New Zealand site to a new space to allow

for more manufacturing floor space.

In Mexico, our health, safety and wellbeing

team has been closely involved in the

construction of our third building on our

Tijuana site, providing services such as safety

analysis, training and traffic management

all while working to mitigate the spread

of COVID-19.

Looking ahead to the 2023 financial year, our

priority will be continuing our efforts to align

with ISO 45001 and supporting the business’s

ongoing expansion.

MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING

The pandemic has continued to impact our

people in different ways. With Auckland in

lockdown for several months in 2021, and

the Omicron outbreak causing widespread

disruption and uncertainty in the early part

of 2022, we promoted counselling through

the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)

and continued to make a qualified counsellor

available to our people on site.

Manaaki, our indigenous leadership group,

launched ‘Kimiora’, a six-month learning and

communications programme to highlight the

importance of wellbeing. A range of events

were held throughout the year, including

yoga sessions, an expert panel on sleep and

rest, and financial wellbeing courses.

CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS

Our processes for identifying and

managing climate-related risks

We identify and assess climate-related risks

as part of our overall sustainability strategy,

which our Board and executive management

review annually.

Our process includes identifying direct and

indirect climate-related risks, as well as

considering short, medium and long-term

risk horizons. We also rely on input obtained

from external stakeholders through our

materiality assessment described in the

‘The Company’ section of this report.

We assess climate-related risks along a

six-year-or more time horizon that considers

severity, likelihood, geographical location, and

local impact versus enterprise-wide impact.

How our processes for identifying,

assessing and managing climate-related

risks are integrated into our overall

risk management

We integrate our processes for identifying,

assessing and managing climate-related

risks by:

• Documenting, scoring and managing

climate-related risks through our ISO14001

Environmental Management System process.

• Embedding climate-related risks into our

group-wide risk management process,

where they are reviewed by our risk

management team.

• Reporting climate-related risks to the Board

through the Audit & Risk Committee for

consideration as part of our broader risk

management framework.

• Developing climate-related scenarios

relevant to Fisher & Paykel Healthcare as

part of our TCFD climate-related due

diligence and disclosures.

The two most significant climate-related

risks important to our stakeholders are

carbon emissions and healthcare waste.

Metrics we use to assess climate-related

risks and opportunities

We have adopted parts of the Sustainability

Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standard

for the Medical Equipment & Supplies industry

related to climate-related disclosure. This

includes integrating accounting metrics

HC-MS-410a.1 and HC-MS-410a.2 into

our reporting on our environmental

management system.

We report environmental impacts following

the Climate Disclosure Standards Board

(CDSB) principles and ‘REQ-04 Sources

of environmental impacts’. Environmental

impact reporting can be found in the

‘Environment’ section of this report.

67Section 03 | OPERATING SUSTAINABLYFisher & Paykel Healthcare ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Resilience of our strategy
Analysing the potential impacts of climate

change on our operations is important to us.

To assess risk, we have considered a range

of climate-related scenarios. This includes a

business-as-usual approach to decarbonisation

(with global temperatures increasing by

more than 3 degrees celsius) and a rapid

decarbonisation approach (with global

temperatures increasing by less than

1.5 degrees celsius).

We have started to develop our own climate

scenarios as part of our TCFD climate-related

due diligence and disclosures. We have

selected four Intergovernmental Panel on

Climate Change (IPCC) Representative

Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios (8.5,

6.0, 2.6 and 1.9) along with two International

Energy Agency (IEA) transition scenarios (the

Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS) and Net Zero

Emissions by 2050 (NZE) scenario as inputs to

our Global Enabling Sustainability Initiative-

CDP climate modelling approach. Climate-

related impact to global healthcare systems

is being considered as part of each scenario.

Our analysis takes into account the following:

• The impact of changing weather patterns.

• Increasing average temperatures, coupled

with the by-products of these environmental

system changes such as sea-level rise,

large-scale population displacement, and

impacts on the global healthcare system.

• Supply chain disruption risk.

• Natural resource scarcity.

• The impact of regulatory controls related

to climate-related issues.

Our strategy takes into account current

and likely future climate-related risks. We

acknowledge that the carbon and climate

risk area will be an ever-changing environment,

and our teams will continue to adapt our

sustainability program and guidance to reflect

this. We also note the significant amount of

uncertainty that comes with climate change

and have taken an approach that identifies

vulnerability and raises awareness of

worst-case scenarios to aid in planning

and development of contingencies.

committed to ensuring that the

company maintains a high standard

of corporate governance and

ethical conduct.

The Board regularly reviews and assesses

the company’s governance policies and

procedures to ensure that they provide the

direction and controls which enable us to

achieve sustainable, profitable growth and

the trust of our customers, shareholders,

regulators, suppliers and communities.

The company is listed on both the NZX and

the ASX (Foreign Exempt Listing category).

Corporate governance principles and

guidelines apply in both countries. As at the

date of this report, the company complies

with all of the recommendations of the NZX

Corporate Governance Code. While the

company has Foreign Exempt Listing on the

ASX and is not required to comply with the

ASX Corporate Governance Council’s

Corporate Governance Principles and

Recommendations (ASX Principles), the

company considers its corporate governance

practices and procedures substantially reflect

the ASX Principles. The full content of the

company’s corporate governance policies,

practices and procedures can be found in

ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR

As a business we are committed to doing the

right thing. It is important to us and is what our

customers, employees, and shareholders find

compelling. We ensure we comply with our

legal and ethical obligations throughout our

business operations, from the way we source

materials, design and manufacture our

products, through to selling our products

across the world.

We have policies and procedures in place to

ensure we conduct our business in a legally,

ethically and socially responsible manner.

These policies and procedures are available

on our website, and summary information

with respect to a number of our policies and

procedures can also be found throughout

this section.

CODES OF CONDUCT

We expect our employees and directors to

maintain high ethical standards. A Code of

Conduct for the company and a separate

Code of Conduct for Directors set out

these standards.

The Codes cover a range of areas relevant

to legal and ethical behaviour, including

competing fairly, health and safety, data

protection and privacy, working with

customers and suppliers, sanctions compliance,

responsible marketing, financial records and

reporting, continuous disclosure and insider

trading, combatting bribery and corruption

and interactions with healthcare professionals.

It also covers matters such as confidentiality,

conflicts of interest, receipt of gifts, and

corporate opportunities.

The Codes explain how an employee or

director can report an actual or suspected

breach of the Code. This is also detailed in

our Speak Up (or whistle-blowing/protected

disclosures) Policy, which ensures employees

know how to report potentially unethical or

illegal behaviour or breaches of our Code

of Conduct, without fear of retaliation or

harassment. Our Speak Up Policy was

launched globally in October 2021.

Training on our Code of Conduct is undertaken

by employees globally, and is part of our

induction process for new employees. It has

been translated into a number of different

languages for our local offices. The Code of

Conduct is available on our internal intranet

and our external website. New directors are

provided a copy of the Director’s Code of

Conduct during their induction training.

We have an in-house legal team that provides

advice and assistance to the business globally

on how to comply with our various legal

obligations and engage external legal counsel

to assist us as and when required.

We maintain a schedule for regularly reviewing

and updating corporate governance policies

and charters. The Code of Conduct was last

reviewed in March 2022. The Code of Conduct

for Directors was last reviewed in August 2020.

ANTI-BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION
In the course of our business we interact with

a wide range of government officials and

private sector individuals or businesses,

including government regulators, inspection

authorities and healthcare professionals.

We do not tolerate bribery, corruption,

kickbacks or other types of improper

benefits, whether committed by our own

people or by anyone we deal with.

Most of the countries in which we operate

have strict anti-bribery and corruption laws

that apply to our interactions with public

officials. Failing to comply with these laws

could have serious consequences for us,

both as individuals and as an organisation.

In some cases, these consequences could

include criminal charges. We have processes

in place for assessing anti-bribery and

corruption risk and implement measures

to mitigate these risks.

Our Code of Conduct sets out our expectations

for all employees in combatting bribery and

corruption. We never offer or accept (or ask

a third party to offer or accept) bribes, illegal

facilitation payments, secret commissions or

kickbacks to or from any person. These rules

apply to all our business activities, including

any interactions we may have with government

officials or with any private person or business,

either locally or overseas. In addition to the

Code of Conduct, the company also has a

policy that it does not make corporate level

political donations.

The Code requires that where we suspect

bribery or corruption, either by our own people

or by any of our suppliers, customers or other

business partners, we report it immediately.

The Speak Up Policy ensures that all

employees know how to make such a report

and can be confident that concerns will be

taken seriously and investigated and will not

result in retaliation or other harassment. During

the year ended 31 March 2022 the company is

not aware of any instances of corruption or of

incidents in which employees were dismissed

or disciplined for corruption.

INTERACTIONS WITH HEALTHCARE

PROFESSIONALS

As we are a medical device business, we

must comply with laws and regulations on

interacting with healthcare professionals in

various countries around the world. It is

critical that our activities do not improperly

influence the medical decisions of healthcare

professionals or the purchasing decisions of

entities that buy our products.

Our Procedure on Interacting with Healthcare

Professionals ensures that we act ethically

and legally in our interactions with healthcare

professionals, comply with all applicable laws,

and do not provide improper benefits or

inducements to healthcare professionals.

We provide training to employees on

this procedure.

ETHICAL RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRIALS

We have formal procedures in place to ensure

that we adhere to the International Conference

on Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice (GCP)

standards during all clinical investigations we

carry out. GCP standards cover the design,

conduct, recruitment, recording and reporting

of clinical investigations that involve the

participation of human subjects.

Our procedures have also been compiled

based on the ISO 14155:2011 standard for:

Clinical investigation of medical devices

for human subjects – Good clinical practice

and the EU Medical Devices Directive.

These procedures are designed to ensure that

the data and reported results of all clinical trials

are credible and accurate and that the rights,

integrity and confidentiality of trial participants

are protected.

ANIMAL TESTING

We sometimes participate in or observe

testing to assess biocompatibility and obtain

worldwide regulatory clearances. This includes

animal testing on rabbits, pigs, guinea pigs and

mice. This testing is conducted according to

International Standards 10993 and 18562.

Our external test labs maintain accreditation

to the Association for Assessment and

Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care

(AAALAC), and all applicable portions of study

protocols are conducted as per regulations and

guidelines regarding animal care and welfare.

Wherever possible, we look for alternatives

such as in vitro or analytical chemistry testing,

which do not require the use of laboratory

animals. We take great care to ensure there

is no duplicate testing of our products.

not hold office (without re-election) past the

third annual meeting following the director’s

appointment or three years, whichever is

longer. A director appointed by the Board

must not hold office (without re-election)

past the next annual meeting following the

director’s appointment.

When searching for and nominating candidates

to act as a director, the People & Remuneration

Committee takes into account such factors

as it deems appropriate, including diversity

of gender, background, experience, and

qualifications of the candidate, independence

and the Board skills matrix. The committee

may use external search firms to assist with

locating possible candidates and gathering

relevant information.

When considering the re-election of an

existing director, the People & Remuneration

Committee will also consider the length of

service of the director, and the director’s

performance on the Board to date. It is the

Board’s general expectation that a non-

executive director will hold office for an

aggregate period of approximately nine years

(including re-elections).

We undertake a number of checks before

appointing a director and putting forward

to shareholders a candidate for election

as a director. We ensure shareholders are

provided with all relevant information to

inform their decision on whether to elect

or re-elect a director.

At the annual shareholder meeting (ASM)

on 18 August 2021, Scott St John and Michael

Daniell retired by rotation and, being eligible,

offered themselves for re-election and were

re-elected to the Board.

Other procedures relating to the nomination

and appointment of directors are outlined

in the Appointment and Selection of New

Directors Policy available on our website.

Governance – Continued

THE BOARD

The Board plays a vital role in overseeing our

strategic direction. Strong governance from a

diverse and experienced Board ensures we can

achieve our aims of improving patient care and

outcomes through inspired and world-leading

healthcare solutions, thereby sustainably

increasing shareholder value.

The biography of each Board member,

including each director’s skills, experience,

expertise and term of office, is set out in

the section, “Our Board”.

Role of the Board

The Board is ultimately responsible for our

strategic direction. The specific roles and

responsibilities of the Board, and the Board’s

procedures, are set out in detail in our Board

Charter, available on our website. In summary,

the Board is elected by our shareholders to:

• approve the company’s business strategies

and objectives.

• oversee management in its implementation

of the company’s strategic objectives,

instilling of the company’s values and

performance generally.

• identify and manage risks.

• review and approve budgets and

business plans.

• approve our Remuneration Procedure

and other procedures governing the

way we operate our business.

• provide governance of internal decision-

making and management.

Board diversity and skills matrix
A diverse Board allows the company to benefit

from a range of different perspectives, which

leads to healthier debate and decision-making.

As we operate in specialised international

markets, the Board believes that it is important

to have a Board consisting of members with

diverse backgrounds, experience and skills.

The Board also believes that the tenure of

each of its members is important as it seeks

to balance independent, institutional

knowledge gained through length of

service and the importance of fresh

perspectives in decision-making.

The table below summarises the current key skills, experience and tenure of the Board.

* Michael Daniell was appointed as a non-executive director on 1 April 2016 following his retirement as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer.

While some directors have greater expertise in certain areas than others, the Board has determined

the table above on the basis of directors who have at least the minimum required level of skill and

experience in each area.

Written agreements with directors

Upon appointment, non-executive directors are issued a letter setting out the terms and conditions

of their appointment. This includes information about their role and duties, time commitments,

term of appointment, remuneration and insurance, access to information, and disclosure and

compliance obligations. A copy of the standard form of this letter is available on our website.

The Chief Executive Officer has an employment agreement setting out his roles and conditions

of employment. Further information about the remuneration of directors is set out in the

Remuneration section of this report.

73Section 03 | OPERATING SUSTAINABLYFisher & Paykel Healthcare ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Governance – Continued
Directors’ and officers’ insurance

and indemnity

The Group has arranged, as provided for

under the company’s constitution, policies of

directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which,

with a Deed of Indemnity entered into with all

directors, ensure that generally directors will

incur no monetary loss as a result of actions

undertaken by them as directors. Certain

actions are specifically excluded, for example,

the incurring of penalties and fines which may

be imposed in respect of breaches of the law.

Independence of directors

We are committed to ensuring that a majority

of directors are independent of the company,

and do not have any interests, positions,

associations or relationships which might

interfere, or might be seen to interfere, with

their ability to bring independent judgement

to the issues before the Board.

The Board has regard to the factors described

in the NZX Corporate Governance Code when

assessing the independence of directors. After

consideration of these factors, the company

is of the view that:

1. Lewis Gradon is a director who is

currently employed in an executive

role by the company;

2. Michael Daniell is a director who was

employed in an executive role by the

company until 31 March 2016 and there

was not a period of at least three years

between ceasing such employment and

serving on the Board;

3. No director currently holds, nor has held

within the last 12 months, a senior role in

a provider of material professional services

to the company or any of its subsidiaries;

4. No director currently has, nor has had

within the last three years, a material

business relationship (such as a supplier

or customer) with the company or any

of its subsidiaries;

5. No director is a substantial shareholder

of the company, nor a senior manager of,

nor otherwise associated with, a substantial

shareholder of the company;

6. No director has a material contractual

relationship with the company or another

group member other than as a director

of the company;

7. No director has close family ties with

anyone in the categories listed above; and

8. Other than Michael Daniell, no director

has held the position of director of the

company for a length of time that may

compromise independence.

Based on these assessments, the Board

considers that as at 31 March 2022 a majority

(six) of the directors are independent, namely

Scott St John (Board Chair), Pip Greenwood,

Geraldine McBride, Lisa McIntyre, Neville

Mitchell and Donal O’Dwyer, and that Michael

Daniell and Lewis Gradon are not independent.

Induction and continuing development

of directors

A formal induction programme is available

to new directors to ensure that they have

a working knowledge of our business. The

programme includes one-on-one meetings

with management and a tour of our R&D

and manufacturing facilities. Due to COVID-19

travel restrictions, the induction for Australia-

based director Lisa McIntyre was conducted

virtually and included a virtual site tour of our

New Zealand facility. The company plans to

host her on site in New Zealand when travel

restrictions ease. All directors are regularly

updated on relevant industry and company

issues. From time to time, the Board may also

undertake educational trips to receive briefings

from customers and visit operations of the

company outside of New Zealand. There is

an on-going programme of presentations

to the Board by all business units.

All directors are members of the Institute of

Directors (or overseas equivalent), and attend

training sessions to remain current on their

duties as directors. The company also arranges

training for directors and management on

specific issues as the need arises.

74Section 03 | OPERATING SUSTAINABLYFisher & Paykel Healthcare ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Board performance
We have a Performance Evaluation Policy

which relates to the performance of the Board,

the Board committees and individual directors.

The Performance Evaluation Policy is available

on our website. The Policy, in accordance

with the Board Charter, requires the Board

to undertake a two-yearly performance

evaluation of itself that:

• compares the performance of the Board

with the requirements of its Charter;

• reviews the performance of the

Board Committees;

• sets forth the goals and objectives of the

company for the upcoming year; and

• effects any improvements to the Board

Charter deemed necessary or appropriate.

An external consulting company facilitated the

Board’s performance evaluation in 2020 and

the 2022 performance evaluation is currently

in progress.

Our Executive Management are also subject to

regular performance reviews. The performance

of senior executives is reviewed by the CEO,

who meets with each senior executive to

discuss their performance.

Board committees

The Board has three permanent committees

which support the Board by working with

management on relevant issues at a suitably

detailed level and then report back to the

Board. These Committees and their members

as at 31 March 2022 are:

Audit & Risk Committee

Members: Neville Mitchell (Chair), Scott St John

and Michael Daniell

All members are non-executive directors,

and two of the three (including the Chair)

are independent.

People & Remuneration Committee

Members: Pip Greenwood (Chair),

Scott St John and Donal O’Dwyer

All members are independent non-

executive directors.

Quality, Safety & Regulatory Committee

Members: Donal O’Dwyer (Chair), Scott

St John, Lisa McIntyre and Neville Mitchell

All members are independent non-

executive directors.

Each Committee has a charter setting out

its objectives, procedures, composition and

responsibilities. A summary is set out below,

and copies of these charters are available

on our website. The Board may from

time-to-time establish other Committees

for specific purposes.

Audit & Risk Committee

The primary function of the Audit & Risk

Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling

its responsibilities relating to the company’s

risk management and internal control

framework, the integrity of its financial

reporting, and the company’s internal and

external auditing processes and activities.

The Committee also assists the Board in

monitoring and reporting the company’s

strategies, activities and performance

regarding sustainability, corporate social

responsibility and the environment. The

Committee has an annual work plan and

reports to the Board which enables it to

properly and regularly inform the Board

on significant financial matters relating to

the company.

Employees and external auditors are invited

to attend meetings when it is considered

appropriate by the Committee. At least once

per year, the Committee meets with the

auditors without any representatives of

management present and is encouraged

to seek advice from external consultants or

specialists where the Committee considers

that necessary or desirable.

The Audit & Risk Committee closely monitors

financial reporting risks in relation to the

preparation of the financial statements.

The Committee, with the assistance of

management, works to ensure that the

financial statements are founded on a sound

system of risk management and internal

control and that the system is operating

effectively in all material respects in relation

to financial reporting risks. As part of this

process, before the company’s financial

statements are approved, the CEO and CFO

are required to state in writing to the Board

that, to the best of their knowledge, the

company’s financial reports present a true and

fair view of the company’s financial condition

and operational results and are in accordance

with the relevant accounting standards and

those reports are founded on a sound system

of risk management and internal control which

is operating effectively.

75Section 03 | OPERATING SUSTAINABLYFisher & Paykel Healthcare ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Governance – Continued
People & Remuneration Committee

The People & Remuneration Committee’s role

is to oversee and regulate remuneration and

organisation matters of the company, including

recommending the company’s human

resources strategy for directors and senior

executives, reviewing remuneration and

benefits procedures, monitoring company

performance against the Diversity & Inclusion

Policy, and reviewing performance objectives

and remuneration of the company’s Chief

Executive Officer and senior executives. It also

seeks advice on and recommends director

remuneration structure and recommends

director appointments to the Board.

Quality, Safety & Regulatory Committee

The objective and purpose of the Quality,

Safety & Regulatory Committee is to assist

the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating

to the oversight of the company’s quality

management system and health and safety risk

management system. As part of the company’s

internal audit function, regular quality system

specific internal audit reports are received by

the Committee.

Board and committee meetings

Normally, the Board holds eight formal meetings a year. One of those meetings is typically focused

on reviewing the company’s annual business plan and budget, and at a separate meeting the

long-term strategic plan is considered. The Board also meets with senior executives to consider

matters of strategic importance. At the company’s virtual ASM held on 18 August 2021, all the

then-serving directors attended the meeting by video link.

Committees generally meet three or four times per year, or as required to carry out their

responsibilities, and report to the Board following each meeting. Details of attendance at

Board and Committee meetings during the year ended 31 March 2022 are set out as follows:

REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE
We are committed to the promotion of investor confidence by ensuring

that the trading of our shares takes place in an efficient, competitive

and informed market. We believe that evenly balanced disclosure is

fundamental to building shareholder value and earning the trust of

employees, customers, suppliers, communities and shareholders.

Continuous disclosure

Our Market Disclosure Procedure establishes our disclosure procedures

for meeting our continuous disclosure obligations. The Market Disclosure

Procedure is available on our website. This explains the respective roles

of directors, officers and employees in complying with continuous

disclosure obligations, confidentiality of information, external

communications with analysts and shareholders, and responding

to rumours and market speculation.

The Disclosure Committee (comprising the CEO, CFO, VP Corporate,

and General Counsel) and the Disclosure Officer (being the VP Corporate

or alternatively the General Counsel) are responsible for administering

compliance with our Market Disclosure Procedure, including continuous

disclosure obligations. Market disclosure requires the approval of either

the Board or the Disclosure Committee, depending on the circumstances.

The Market Disclosure Procedure was last updated on 29 March 2022.

Company policies

We have policies and procedures in place to ensure we conduct our

business with integrity, and in a legally, ethically, and socially responsible

manner. Key governance documents including our Corporate Governance

Policy, Codes of Conduct, Securities Trading Procedure, Board and

Committee Charters, Diversity & Inclusion Policy, Remuneration Procedure,

and Market Disclosure Procedure are all available on our website.

Financial reporting

We are committed to reporting our financial information in an objective,

balanced, and clear manner. Financial results are reported in this annual

report in accordance with the New Zealand equivalent of International

Financial Reporting Standards. This annual report includes detailed

financial commentary and notes to the financial statements which

explain any changes to financial reporting.

This annual report also includes comments from the Chair and CEO on

strategic progress, performance during the year and progress towards

our strategic objectives. It explains how we deliver value for shareholders

and key performance indicators such as revenue, profit, constancy

currency information, dividend growth and gearing, are used to link

results to our strategy.

We ensure that financial information reported in investor presentations,

company overviews, and other documents is portrayed in an accurate,

fair, and understandable format.

Other reporting

We are committed to transparent reporting of non-financial objectives,

such as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, as well

as risk, health and safety, and business strategy. Our annual report

references the guidelines and principles set out by the Global Reporting

Initiative (GRI) and includes a GRI referenced content index. This report

also integrates content recommended by the Task Force for Climate-

related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) content, and a TCFD content index

can be found at the end of this report.

GOVERNANCE OF CLIMATE-RELATED

ISSUES

Role of the Board

The Board has delegated to the CEO and

executive management matters relating to

environmental sustainability, with oversight

of these matters sitting with the Audit & Risk

Committee. The Committee meets four times

per year and reports directly to and advises

the Board on such matters.

During the last financial year, management

has briefed the Board on environmental

sustainability, including climate-related issues

and sustainable procurement. Briefings have

included reviews of internal compliance with

both internally established and externally

applicable sustainability codes and principles

across the company’s global operations.

For our most significant risk – carbon

emissions – we have modelled a range of

climate-related scenarios. This includes a

business-as-usual approach to decarbonisation

(with global temperatures increasing by

more than 3 degrees Celsius) and a rapid

decarbonisation approach (with global

temperatures increasing by less than

1.5 degrees Celsius).

We have started to develop our own climate

scenarios as part of our TCFD climate-related

due diligence and disclosures. We have

selected four Intergovernmental Panel

on Climate Change (IPCC) Representative

Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios (8.5,

6.0, 2.6 and 1.9) along with two International

Energy Agency (IEA) transition scenarios

(the Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS) and

Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) scenario

as inputs to our GeSI-CDP climate modelling

approach. Climate-related impact to global

healthcare systems is being considered as part

of each scenario.

Environmental sustainability risks are presented

to the Board for their review and consideration.

The company’s largest environmental

sustainability risk is our carbon footprint,

while healthcare waste, ethical sourcing

and sustainability data integrity are also

potentially material risk areas.

Executive management responsibilities for

environmental sustainability sit with the CEO

and the Vice President - Supply Chain, Facilities

& Sustainability. Our Sustainability team is

responsible for our environmental sustainability

strategy, policy development, long-term

planning and the performance of our global

environmental management system.

ECODESIGN ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS

Role of management

Environmental sustainability (which includes

climate-related risks) is integrated into our

environmental management system, which

is externally audited each year to the ISO14001

international standard. We follow formal

environmental management processes

to review and monitor environmental

sustainability issues and risks, and these

are embedded into our enterprise risk

management systems.

80Section 03 | OPERATING SUSTAINABLYFisher & Paykel Healthcare ANNUAL REPORT 2022

We have identified carbon as our most
significant risk. With involvement from

executive management, we began to develop

a long-term carbon reduction plan during the

2020 financial year, including a number of

carbon reduction initiatives across a number

of time horizons stretching to 2034. During the

2022 financial year, significant initiatives have

included trialling an internal carbon price and

beginning the installation of large-scale solar

arrays at our Mexico site.

The Board and executive management have

set Science Based Targets and these targets

were submitted and approved in April 2020.

In the 2022 financial year, we verified that

20 of our suppliers had also set Science

Based Targets or equivalent targets for

carbon reduction.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare is a member of

the Climate Leaders Coalition and we continue

to participate in the Sustainable Business

Network. Our involvement in these two

organisations allows for proactive visibility

of climate-related risks and opportunities

experienced by other member organisations,

as well as the opportunity for collaboration

to manage and mitigate such risks. This has

included executive training on carbon issues

and climate-risk.

SHAREHOLDER AND COMPANY INFORMATION

The company has in place an investor relations programme to facilitate

effective two-way communication with investors. We aim to build strong

relationships with our shareholders and investors based on integrity,

transparency and trust. Our intention is to provide shareholders with

all relevant information about the company to enable them to actively

engage with us and exercise their rights as shareholders in an

informed manner.

Shareholder communications

Our Shareholder Communication Procedure facilitates communication

with shareholders through written and electronic means, and by

facilitating shareholder access to directors, executive management

and our auditors. A copy of our Shareholder Communication Procedure

is available on our website.

We communicate with shareholders through the following channels:

• investor section of our website;

• annual report;

• interim report;

• annual shareholder meeting (ASM);

• webcasts;

• regular disclosures on company performance and news; and

• disclosure of presentations provided to analysts and investors

during regular briefings, meetings and roadshows.

Our Website

Our website is frequently the first port of call for shareholders and

is therefore a core component of our Shareholder Communication

Procedure. We include on our website a range of information relevant

to shareholders and others concerning the operation of the company.

We make available a webcast of our ASM and management presentations

of financial results. Webcast details will be published on the NZX and

ASX before the event so that shareholders and other interested parties

may participate.

We encourage shareholders to receive their shareholder communications

electronically to help reduce our environmental footprint and costs.

Direct communication

Shareholders may, at any time, direct questions or requests for

information to Directors or management through our website or

by contacting the relevant officer in charge of investor relations.

These contact details are available on our website.

We have a modern communication framework in place so shareholders

can receive communications in a manner that best suits them. We provide

shareholders with the option to receive communications from, and send

communications to, us and our share registrar electronically. We offer

shareholders the ability to attend our ASM digitally, ask questions

through a virtual tool, and to vote electronically or using an app.

ASM and shareholder voting

Our next ASM will be held online at www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/FPH22

and in person at the Guineas Ballroom, Ellerslie Event Centre, Auckland,

New Zealand on Wednesday, 24 August 2022 commencing at

2.00pm (NZST).

In the event of increased COVID-19 protection measures, the company

may, in its sole discretion, elect to hold the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting

as an online only meeting if it considers there are potential risks to the

health of meeting attendees or if an in-person meeting is prohibited by

law. In such circumstances, the company will provide shareholders with

as much notice as is reasonably practicable by way of an announcement

to the NZX and ASX and on our website at www.fphcare.com/asm.

Notice of the ASM will be released to the NZX and ASX and posted on

our website, along with instructions for attending the virtual meeting,

at least 20 working days prior to the meeting. We encourage active

participation by shareholders at the ASM, and shareholders may present

questions to engage with the Board and executive management.

Shareholders have the right to vote on major decisions which may

change the nature of the company. Each shareholder has one vote per

ordinary share they own in the company, equally with other shareholders,

and may vote at a meeting in person, or by proxy, representative or

attorney. We offer an electronic voting facility to allow shareholders to

vote ahead of the meeting without having to attend or appoint a proxy.

Share information
Stock exchange listing requirements

The company’s shares were listed on the NZX Main Board on

14 November 2001 and on the ASX on 21 November 2001. On

20 June 2016 the company changed its admission category

to an ASX Foreign Exempt Listing. As part of this change, the

company is still required to comply with the NZX Listing Rules

but is not required to comply with many of the ASX listing rules.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 1.15.3, the company confirms

that it continues to comply with the NZX listing rules.

Neither the NZX nor the ASX has taken any disciplinary action against

the company during the year ended 31 March 2022. In particular, there

was no exercise of powers by the NZX under NZX Listing Rule 9.9.3.

Current on-market share buy-back

There is no current on-market buy-back of the company’s ordinary

shares. During the year ended 31 March 2022 none of the company’s

ordinary shares were purchased on-market under or for the purposes

of an employee incentive scheme or to satisfy the entitlements of holders

of options or other rights to acquire ordinary shares granted under an

employee incentive scheme. The company does not have any restricted

securities or securities subject to voluntary escrow on issue.

Incorporation and limitations on the acquisition of shares

The company is incorporated in New Zealand and is not subject to

Current NZX waivers

During the 12 months to 31 March 2022, the company relied upon a

allowing the company to aggregate issues of company shares under the

company’s employee share plans over a 10 business day period for the

purposes of market notifications. The company relies on this waiver in

respect of the issue of company shares under its share option plans, its

performance share rights (PSR) plans, its employee share rights (ESR)

plan and its share purchase plans.

Distribution of shareholders and holdings

The company only has one class of shares on issue, ordinary shares,

each conferring to the registered holder the right to one vote on any

resolution, and these shares are listed on the NZX and ASX. There are

no other classes of equity security currently on issue. The total number

of ordinary shares on issue as at 31 March 2022 was 576,412,532 shares.

Remuneration
Our approach is to attract, reward

and retain high-quality employees

who will help us to achieve our short

and long-term strategic objectives.

This depends in large part upon the

remuneration packages we offer.

EMPLOYEE REMUNERATION

It is our intention to pay our people fairly,

taking into account factors such as company

performance, general economic conditions,

marketplace remuneration trends and

individual performance. We operate in

a large number of countries and our

remuneration practices reflect our culture,

values and local market conditions.

Our employee remuneration programme

consists of a base wage or salary, a

discretionary component providing the

potential for an annual profit sharing payment

based on relevant company performance,

and superannuation, life insurance and the

opportunity to purchase shares and/or receive

long term variable remuneration in the form

of share options, performance share rights or

employee share rights (in certain countries).

Employees receive base remuneration

packages that are generally benchmarked

against similar positions in companies of

comparable size and complexity. We use

industry remuneration surveys conducted by

outside consultants to determine remuneration

levels. In general, remuneration is reviewed

annually, and our process supports our

intention to pay our people fairly.

EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT REMUNERATION
The People & Remuneration Committee is

responsible for reviewing the remuneration

of executive management in consultation with

the CEO. Executive management remuneration

packages consist of a combination of a fixed

remuneration package, a discretionary annual

variable remuneration (DAVR) component,

a long-term variable remuneration (LTVR)

component, and the company-wide profit-

sharing payment, as described further below.

The total remuneration earned by executive

management is set out in Note 18 of the

financial statements.

Fixed remuneration

All members of executive management receive

a fixed remuneration component based on

the scale and complexity of the role, market

relativities and experience, and performance.

This also includes any KiwiSaver or other

superannuation contribution.

Variable remuneration

Executive management receive variable

remuneration linked to financial and strategic

performance each financial year. The table below

shows how variable remuneration is calculated.

Discretionary Annual Variable

Remuneration (DAVR)

Discretionary annual variable remuneration

(DAVR) is designed to remunerate executive

management relative to the company’s financial

performance and non-financial measures which

are the annual implementation of our long-term

plan for sustainable profitable growth. Details

of our plan are shown on the right.

Weighting

Constant currency operating profit 45%

Constant currency revenue25%

Constant currency pre-tax operating cash flow10%

Non-financial (20%)

Measures relating to the strategic direction of the company and environmental

and social responsibility initiatives. Non-financial measures are shared across all

members of the executive management team as the measures involve collaboration

and commitment.

Payment calculation methodMeeting 100% of both the financial and non-financial measures results in payment

of 100% of the DAVR amount.

The DAVR payment amount is adjusted pro-rata, with each 1% above or below

financial targets resulting in a 2% increase or decrease in payment.

Performance hurdleShould the financial measures in aggregate be underachieved by more than 10%,

no DAVR is payable.

Target paymentsUp to 50% of fixed annual remuneration for the CEO/Managing Director.

Maximum paymentThe maximum achievable DAVR which may be awarded is 132% of the target DAVR

at 20% or more over achievement of the financial measures and achievement of all

non-financial measures.

Approval processThe Board (administered through the People & Remuneration Committee) has the

discretion to alter, amend, replace or withdraw the DAVR scheme at any time without

notice (including during a financial year).

The Board also retains the ultimate discretion in assessing and determining any

payments under the scheme. As part of that, the Board has the right to exercise

its discretion not to make any payments or to pay a reduced amount, regardless

of whether the measures have been met.

Termination of employmentParticipants will not be entitled to be considered for a DAVR payment if they

cease to be employed by the Company prior to the end of the DAVR year and/or

in circumstances where they are under notice of termination of employment when

the DAVR award is under consideration or paid.

Should a participant leave the company (i.e. due to death, permanent disability,

redundancy or on medical grounds) before they are due to be considered for a

DAVR award, the Board will have discretion as to whether to pay any DAVR award.

Remuneration – Continued
Long Term Variable Remuneration (LTVR)

LTVR components are designed to align executive management with

shareholder interests over the longer term and provide a longer-term

employee retention benefit.

The LTVR plans available to executive management are described below.

Further information on these and other LTVR plans can be found in the

“Long Term Variable Remuneration” section of our website.

Share Option Plan - Options vest if at the third, fourth, or fifth

anniversary of the grant date the company’s share price on the NZX has

exceeded the “escalated price”. The escalated price is determined by

a representative amount representing the company’s cost of capital.

Performance Share Rights Plan - PSRs fully vest if the company’s gross

total shareholder return (TSR) exceeds the performance of the Dow

Jones US Select Medical Equipment Total Return Index (DJSMDQT)

by 10% or more at any of the third, fourth or fifth anniversary of the

grant date of the PSRs. PSRs partially vest on the fifth anniversary

if the company’s TSR exceeds the DJSMDQT by less than 10%.

Employee Share Purchase Plan - Executive management can choose

to participate in this Plan up to the value of $2,000 with a discount

of up to $500, with no interest charged on the loans. The qualifying

period between grant and vesting date is three years.

Participants in the company’s equity-based remuneration schemes

are not permitted to enter into transactions (whether through the

use of derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of their

unvested entitlements. For the avoidance of doubt, this does not prevent

participants entering into financial arrangements for them to be able

to exercise vested entitlements under any company equity-based

remuneration scheme.

Profit sharing

All our employees, including executive management, who have worked

with us for more than six months are eligible to receive a profit-sharing

payment twice per year.

To enable better comparability of the relative shareholder return performance, the Dow Jones U.S. Select Medical Equipment

Index closing prices have been converted to NZD at the daily closing rate quoted by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

From 13 September 2018 to 13 September 2021 our TSR performance exceeded

that of the DJSMDQT, and PSRs on issue 100% vested.

LTVR includes options and PSRs awarded during the financial year. In 2022, Lewis Gradon was granted 25,761 PSRs and 73,633 share options (2021: 22,178 PSRs

and 69,931 share options). Share options and PSRs granted in the 2021 and 2022 financial years will vest if the performance criteria are met in the 2024 and

2025 financial years respectively. Details of the plans and valuation methodology are set out in Note 18 to the financial statements.

The CEO’s salary and fixed remuneration subtotal for the 2021 financial year was overstated in last year’s annual report by $160,661, due to an inadvertent

duplication of the employee superannuation contribution. The correct remuneration for the 2021 financial year is outlined in the table above.

DAVR achieved in 2022

The DAVR financial targets achieved are set out in the ‘Executive Management’ section on page 91.

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’
REMUNERATION

Remuneration strategy

The People & Remuneration Committee is

responsible for establishing and monitoring

remuneration policies and guidelines for

directors. This enables us to attract and retain

directors who contribute to the successful

governing of the business and create value

for shareholders.

We also take advice from independent

consultants and take into account fees paid

to directors of comparable companies in

New Zealand and Australia as part of our

assessment of the appropriate level of

remuneration of directors.

The maximum total monetary sum payable

by the company by way of directors’ fees

is $1,455,000 per annum as approved by

shareholders at the 2020 Annual Shareholders’

Meeting. Executive directors are not entitled to

receive any remuneration solely in their capacity

as directors of the company.

Non-executive directors do not take a portion

of their remuneration under an equity security

plan; however, directors may hold shares in the

company. Details are set out on page 77 of this

report. It is our policy to encourage directors

to acquire shares on-market.

No non-executive director is entitled to receive

a retirement payment.

Approved director remuneration

The current non-executive directors’ fees and the fees received by non-executive directors in the

2022 financial year, including a breakdown of Board fees and Committee fees, are set out in the

tables below. The fees payable are determined based on the time commitment and responsibilities

of each role.

1 Constant currency (CC) removes the impact of exchange rate movements. This approach is used to assess the Group’s

underlying comparative financial performance without any impact from changes in foreign exchange rates. See further

details on page 101.

Total profit after tax for the year was down 28% to $376.9 million (30% in constant currency).

Revenue

Operating revenue was $1,681.7 million, which is 15% below last year or 14% in constant

currency. The previous financial year was a period of extraordinary demand during

the initial surges of the COVID-19 pandemic and the current year’s financial results

continued to be strong. Total hospital revenue declined 19% in constant currency this

year as we lapped the extraordinary demand in the initial COVID-19 surges. Compared

with the 2019 financial year, it was up 88%. The decline against last year is primarily due

to hospital hardware declining 41% in constant currency. Homecare revenue grew 2% in

constant currency.

Gross margin

Gross margin was 62.6% and decreased by 147 basis points in constant currency.

The proportion of airfreight and the cost of freight remained elevated compared to

pre-COVID-19 levels, impacting the constant currency gross margin by approximately

240 basis points.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased 3% (4% in constant currency) to $547.1 million. Excluding

donations in 2021 of $25.6 million, operating expense growth was 8% (9% in constant

currency), with ongoing expenditure to support global sales growth and development

of our product pipeline.

R&D spend of $154.0 million grew 13% reflecting underlying growth and acceleration

of our product pipeline. Over the long term, we plan for R&D spend to grow in line

with constant currency revenue growth.

Financing expenses

Total net financing expense increase reflected the gain on foreign exchange revaluations

on foreign currency interest-bearing liabilities in the prior year not repeating this year.

Excluding the impact of foreign currency movements, net financing expense reduced

by $1.0 million, with increased net cash on hand during the year.

Ta x

Our effective tax rate for the year was 25.2%, down from 27.0% in the prior year. The R&D

tax credit this year of $15.1 million (2021: $13.2 million) represents the estimated eligible

R&D expenditure incurred during the period. Excluding the R&D tax credit, the effective

tax rate was 28.2% for the year (2021: 28.8%).

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY

FOREIGN CURRENCY IMPACTS
The Group is exposed to movements in foreign exchange rates, with approximately 99%

of operating revenue generated in currencies other than NZD as shown below.

Approximately 60% of COGS and 50% of operating expenses are in currencies other

than NZD.

During the 2022 financial year, the NZD strengthened against most major currencies and

reported net profit after tax has been unfavourably impacted by currency.

The effect of balance sheet translations for the year resulted in a decrease in operating

revenue of $5.3 million (2021: $21.3 million decrease) and a decrease in profit after tax of

$2.1 million (2021: $9.4 million decrease). The hedging programme contributed a pre-tax

gain of $41.5 million in the current year (2021: $21.2 million gain).

The average daily spot rate and the average conversion exchange rate (i.e. the accounting

rate, incorporating the benefit of forward exchange contracts in respect of the relevant

financial year) of the main foreign currency exposures for the reported periods are set out

in the table below.

was impacted by a significant increase in inventory of raw materials and finished goods

to be able to meet potential surge demand and supply chain disruption.

99Section 04 | FINANCIALSFisher & Paykel Healthcare ANNUAL REPORT 2022

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY CONTINUED

Capital expenditure
Property, plant and equipment purchases for the year were $138.4 million, a decrease of

$21.8 million from the prior year. The expenditure primarily related to production capacity

increases, a third building in Tijuana, Mexico and the start of earthworks for a fifth building

to complete our Auckland campus.

Dividends

Dividends paid of $224.9 million were 24% higher than prior year representing the

payment of the final FY21 dividend and the interim FY22 dividend.

++ Property, plant and equipment includes lease assets recognised

Trade receivables at 31 March 2022 reflected strong collection and the level of sales in the

second half of the year compared to the prior year COVID-19 surge demand. Our debtor

days were within the normal range at 41 days (2021: 43 days). Higher inventories reflect

increased raw materials and finished goods to enable the supply of products in the event

of any surges in demand and supply chain disruption. The decrease in trade and other

payables reflected the payment of the $20 million for the donation to the Fisher & Paykel

Healthcare Foundation during 2022.

The increase in property, plant and equipment included capital expenditure of

$138.4 million, the majority of which related to production tooling and equipment additions

and the substantial completion of the second purpose-built manufacturing property at

our Tijuana campus. We also commenced earthworks for our fifth manufacturing building

in New Zealand on our East Tamaki campus. These increases were offset by $71 million

of depreciation.

Intangible assets increased by $6.8 million net, including patent acquisition costs and ERP

implementation costs. The global SAP rollout will continue over the next two to three years.

Other net assets/liabilities movements included a decrease in tax payable of $117.7 million

as the final FY21 tax payments were paid in the current year.

As at 31 March 2022, net currency derivative assets were $140.7 million (2021: $143 million).

All currency derivatives continued to be effective hedges.

NZD denominated debt). Interest-bearing debt decreased by $6.5 million, including

the impact of favourable currency revaluations.

On 30 September 2021, a NZ$40 million facility expired and has been replaced with

a new US$40 million facility that commenced on 22 September 2021 and will expire

31 October 2024.

Cash balances and short-term investments, mainly in NZD, were $289.9 million at

31 March 2022. This balance, and operating cash generated in 2022, will help to fund

the payment of the final dividend, provisional tax and ongoing operational capital

expenditure including building projects in Mexico and Auckland.

Gearing

At 31 March 2022 the group had net cash of $221.6 million and gearing of -16.3%. Gearing

was outside the target range of -5% to +5%. Following the significant investment in land

and buildings which will take place over the next five years, this is expected to track

above +5%.

under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is also listed on

the NZX and the ASX. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in

accordance with the requirements of Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

These consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022 have been

prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

(NZ GAAP). They comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS), other New Zealand accounting standards and

authoritative notices that are applicable to entities that apply NZ IFRS. The consolidated

financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The Group is a for-profit entity for the purposes of complying with NZ GAAP.

Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost

convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities (including

derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss and/or other comprehensive

income, and the revaluation of land.

Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars (NZD),

which is the Company’s functional currency to the nearest hundred thousand dollars

unless otherwise stated. Items included in the financial statements of each of the

subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment

in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”).

The Group operates as one integrated business, and the functional currency of all

material global operations is NZD, with the exception of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare

Mexico Properties S.A. de C.V. (“Mexico Properties”). Mexico Properties was established

for the purpose of holding the Group’s property in Mexico, and its functional currency

is United States dollars (USD).

The results and financial position of entities that have a different functional currency

are translated to NZD as follows: assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange

rate at balance date and income statement items are translated at rates approximating

the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of transactions. Exchange differences are

recognised in other comprehensive income as a currency translation reserve movement.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the relevant functional currency at

the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses

resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period

end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies

are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in other comprehensive

income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS requires the use

of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its

judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The Directors

regularly review all accounting policies and areas of judgement in presenting the

financial statements. Significant estimates are disclosed in each of the applicable

notes to the financial statements and are designated with an symbol.

Significant accounting policies

Accounting policies are disclosed in each of the applicable notes to the financial

statements and are designated with an symbol.

In April 2021 the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”)

issued an agenda decision on Configuration or Customisation Costs in a Cloud Computing

Arrangement (IAS 38). This interpretation clarifies the accounting treatment in respect of

the cost of configuring or customising a supplier’s application software in a Software as a

Service (“SaaS”) arrangement. While such costs may be able to continue to be capitalised

in limited circumstances, in many cases the costs are now recognised as an operating

expense. The clarification has not had a material impact on the financial statements.

There have been no other changes in accounting policies.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all

subsidiaries of the Group as at balance date and the results of all subsidiaries for the

year then ended. All subsidiaries are 100% owned within the Group.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between

subsidiary companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless

the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.

3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS AND EVENTS IN THE FINANCIAL YEAR
COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared the outbreak of COVID-19

as a pandemic. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Company’s focus has been on

manufacturing and supplying products that are directly involved in treating patients

with COVID-19, while also ensuring continuing supply of its other products.

Management have assessed the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of the balance sheet.

Specifically, the carrying value of receivables, inventory and warranty exposure were

considered, with provisioning reflecting management’s best estimate of the impact based

on information available at the time of preparing these financial statements. There has

been no material impact on the balance sheet.

Capital expenditure

During the year, the construction of the third manufacturing facility on our Tijuana, Mexico

campus has substantially completed. To date, spending on this project totals $32.4 million.

The building is expected to be operational in 2023.

Earthworks preparation has also commenced for the construction of a fifth building in

New Zealand.

4. OPERATING REVENUE AND SEGMENTAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Segmental reporting

The Group operates in one segment – being the design, manufacture, marketing and

sale of medical devices and systems globally. These products and systems are for use in

respiratory care, acute care, surgery and the treatment of OSA in the home and hospital.

Resource allocation decisions are made to optimise the Group’s financial operating profit.

This is consistent with the internal management reports the chief operating decision-

maker (CODM)

1

reviews.


Revenue is recognised at the point in time performance obligations are satisfied

by transferring control of goods to the customer at the transaction price specified

in the contract. Control typically transfers to the customer at the same time as the

legal title passes to the customer, typically on delivery. The transaction price includes

all amounts which the Group expects to be entitled to net of sales taxes and other

indirect taxes, expected rebates and discounts. Where applicable, rebates and/or

discounts are included within the consideration using an estimation typically based

on the most likely method, and are only recognised to the extent that it is highly

probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

There are no significant financing components in the Group’s revenue arrangements.

1 The CODM comprises the Board of Directors (which includes the Chief Executive Officer), Vice-President – Products

and Technology, Senior Vice-President – Sales and Marketing and the Chief Financial Officer.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is

entered into, and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value. The method of

recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated

as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group

generally applies hedge accounting to all derivative financial instruments.

The Group designates certain derivatives as hedges of highly probable forecast

transactions (cash flow hedges). At the inception of the transaction the Group

documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items,

as well as the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various

hedge transactions.

The Group also documents their assessment, both at hedge inception and on an

ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have

been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows

of hedged items. Any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income

statement. Derivatives that are designated as hedges will be classified as non-current

if they have maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Some components of hedge accounted derivatives are excluded from the designated

risk. Cash flow hedges include only the intrinsic value of options. Time value on

options is excluded from the hedge designation and is marked to market through

other comprehensive income and accumulated within a separate component of equity

(‘the costs of hedging reserve’ within ‘hedging reserves’) until such time as the related

hedge accounted cash flows affect profit or loss. At this stage the cumulative amount

is reclassified to profit or loss.

Master netting arrangements

The Group enters into derivative transactions under the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements. The ISDA agreements do not meet the criteria for

offsetting derivatives in the balance sheet. Netting arrangements are only enforceable upon early termination, for example, on occurrence of a credit default.

Refer to Note 21 for information on the calculation of fair values and maturity of undiscounted cash flows for these financial instruments.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance for doubtful

trade receivables. Estimates are used in determining the level of receivables that

may not be collected. The Group has applied the simplified approach to calculating

expected credit losses on trade receivables and recognises a doubtful debt provision

based on the lifetime expected credit loss at each reporting date.

Bad debts are written off when they are considered to have become uncollectable.

Trade receivables credit risk

As at balance date 91% of trade receivables were current (2021: 79%) with less than

3% (2021: 3%) more than 90 days past due. The total loss allowance for doubtful trade

receivables represents an estimate of the expected credit losses in respect of trade

receivables

and covers the majority of these more than 90 days past due balances.

The expected credit losses are assessed by reference to historical collection trends

and are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic

factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.

Customer and receivable concentration

2021 2022

Five largest customers' proportion of the Group's:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined

using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and includes expenditure incurred in

acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition.

The cost of finished products comprises materials, direct labour, other direct

costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity).

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business,

less applicable variable selling expenses.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2022

9. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED)

Land is measured at fair value, based on periodic but at least triennial valuations by

external independent valuers less any impairment losses recognised after the date of

the revaluation. Valuations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the

fair value does not differ materially from its carrying amount.

All other property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation

and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to

the acquisition of the items. This cost includes labour attributable to bringing the

assets to the location and working condition for its intended use.

Depreciation is generally calculated using the straight line method and is expensed

over the estimated useful lives. Depreciation methods, residual values and useful

lives are reassessed at each reporting date. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings – structure 25 – 50 years

Buildings – fit-out and other 3 – 50 years

Plant and equipment 3 – 15 years

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its estimated

recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its

estimated recoverable amount.

Leased assets

The Group’s leases predominantly relate to property or equipment outside

New Zealand. All leases are included within property, plant and equipment. Lease

contracts are typically made for fixed periods between 3–12 years but may have

extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain

a wide range of different terms and conditions. The right-of-use (leased) asset is

depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the expected lease term

on a straight-line basis.


Revaluations of land

Any revaluation increment is credited to the asset revaluation reserve included in

equity, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrement for the same

asset previously recognised in the income statement, in which case the increment

is recognised in the income statement.


Land revaluation

As described in Note 21, land in Mexico and New Zealand is considered to be a level

3 asset within the fair value hierarchy for valuation purposes. There are certain

estimates associated with determining fair value, with the significant input being

comparable land sales information per square metre (‘psm’) for similar properties

adjusted to reflect relevant physical and locational characteristics. Valuation of land

is performed in accordance with the provisions of NZ IAS 16 ‘Property, Plant and

Equipment’ and NZ IFRS 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’.

New Zealand

The New Zealand land holding was valued by Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL NZ), with an

effective date of 31 March 2021 in accordance with the Australia and New Zealand

Property Institute Valuation Standards. The valuation of land ranged from $480 psm

for land with improvements to $365 psm for development land.

Mexico

The Mexico land holding was valued by Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL Mexico) as at 31

March 2021 in accordance with the International Valuation standards. The land was

valued at US$18.3 million (NZ$25.7 million) representing US$116 psm (NZ$166 psm).

The Directors consider the carrying value of land at 31 March 2022 remains an

appropriate fair value.

Deferred tax arises due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of

assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and those for tax purposes.

Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or

substantively enacted by balance date and are expected to apply when the related

deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

The R&D tax credit is estimated based on the eligible R&D expenditure incurred

during the period and is recognised as a deduction to current tax expense and

offset in current tax payable. The R&D tax credit is only recognised when there is

reasonable certainty the Group will comply with the conditions of the tax incentive.

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, borrowings are measured at amortised cost,

applying the effective interest rate method. Financing expenses directly attributable

to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as

part of the cost of that asset.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional

right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Lease liabilities

The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, and leased assets may not be used

as security for borrowing purposes.

Lease liabilities have been measured at the present value of the remaining lease

payments, discounted using a discount rate derived from the incremental borrowing

rate for each relevant territory on 1 April 2019 when the interest rate implicit in

the lease was not readily available. Incremental borrowing rates applied to lease

liabilities range between 1% – 25%, with a weighted average rate of 5.3%. Leases that

commenced after 1 April 2019 use an incremental borrowing rate that was applicable

on commencement date.

Extension and termination options

Some property leases contain an extension option exercisable by the Group. At the

commencement of a lease, the Group assesses whether it is reasonably certain an

extension option will be exercised. The assessment is reviewed if a significant event

or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and

that is within the control of the Group. The extension options are only exercisable

by the Group and not by the lessor. Where it is reasonably certain the extension

will be exercised, that extension period and related costs are recognised on the

balance sheet.

Short-term and low-value leases

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in the income statement.

Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value

leases predominantly relate to computer equipment.

Borrowing Facilities

Borrowings have been aged in accordance with the expiry dates of the facilities as there

are no required principal payments before the expiry of each facility. At year end the

weighted average interest rate for borrowings is 1.8% (2021: 1.7%).

Key lenders to the Group are Debt Certificate Holders under the Negative Pledge Deed.

In April 2017, an amended Negative Pledge Deed was executed. The negative pledge

includes the covenant that security can be given only in limited circumstances.

The companies in the Group providing the undertakings under the amended Negative

Pledge Deed are:

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Treasury Limited

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Properties Limited

The principle covenants of the negative pledge are that:

(i) the interest cover ratio for the Group shall not be less than 3 times earnings before

interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA);

(ii) the net tangible assets of the Group shall not be less than $200 million; and

(iii) the total tangible assets of the Guaranteeing Group shall constitute at least 80%

of the total tangible assets of the Group.

There have been no breaches of debt covenants for the current or prior period.

The Company had total available committed debt funding of $247.5 million as at

31 March 2022, of which approximately $184.5 million was undrawn. As at 31 March 2022,

the weighted average maturity of committed borrowing facilities was 2.1 years.

of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be

reliably estimated.

Warranty

Provision for warranty covers the obligations for the unexpired warranty periods for

products, based on recent historical costs incurred on warranty exposure. Typical

warranty terms are 1 to 2 years for parts and/or labour.

The actual future warranty claims experienced by the Group may be different to that

of the past. Factors that could impact future warranty claims include the success of

the Group’s quality system, as well as future parts and labour costs. Where the Group

is aware of specific product warranty issues these are included in the provision.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares, rights or options

are shown in equity as a deduction, net of taxation, from the proceeds.

When shares are acquired by a member of the Group, the amount of consideration

paid is recognised directly in equity. These shares are classified as treasury shares

and presented as a deduction from share capital until the ownership transfers to a

holder outside the Group. When treasury shares are subsequently reissued under

employee share plans, the cost of treasury shares is reversed and the realised gain

or loss on sale or reissue, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction

costs, is recognised within share capital.

All shares are fully paid. All ordinary shares rank equally with one vote attached to each

fully paid ordinary share.

Employee Share Purchase Trustee Limited.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number

of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary

shares. Options, Performance Share Rights (PSRs) and Employee Share Rights (ESRs)

are convertible into the Company’s shares, and are therefore considered dilutive

securities for diluted earnings per share.

Nature and purpose of reserves

Hedging reserve

This reserve is used to record unrealised gains or losses on hedging instruments that are

recognised directly in equity and the cumulative net change in the time value on currency

options which are excluded from hedge designations of foreign currency risk.

Amounts are recycled to the income statement when the associated hedged transactions

affect the income statement.

Asset revaluation reserve

The asset revaluation reserve relates to the revaluation of land. For details refer to Note 9.

Share based payment reserve

This reserve is used to recognise the fair value of shares, options, PSRs and ESRs granted

but not exercised or lapsed. Tax deductions in excess of the cumulative share based

payment expense are recognised in equity.

Amounts are transferred to share capital (including income tax benefits) when the vested

shares, options, PSRs or ESRs are exercised or lapse.

Foreign currency translation reserve

The foreign currency translation reserve contains foreign exchange differences arising

on consolidation of assets and liabilities of overseas entities with a functional currency

other than NZD.

Dividends

All dividends are recognised as distributions to shareholders.

During the year, supplementary dividends of $24.4 million were paid to non-resident

shareholders (2021: $20.1 million), for which the Group received an equivalent foreign

investor tax credit entitlement. The foreign investor tax credit entitlement is included

in income taxes paid within the statement of cash flows.

Wages and salaries

Wages and salaries includes non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service leave

and contributions to superannuation plans.

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave,

long service leave and accumulating sick leave are recognised within employee

entitlements in trade and other payables. These are measured at the amounts

expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled in respect of employees’

services up to the reporting date.

For the liabilities for long service leave liabilities, consideration is given to expected

future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods

of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the

reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency

that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken

and measured at the rates paid or payable.

Equity settled share based payments

The fair value (at grant date) of shares, options, PSRs and ESRs granted to

employees is recognised as an employee expense in the income statement over the

vesting period with a corresponding increase in the employee share based payment

reserve. When shares, options, PSRs or ESRs are exercised, the amount in the share

based payment reserve relating to those instruments, together with the option

exercise price paid by the employee, is transferred to share capital. When any vested

shares, options, PSRs or ESRs lapse, the amount in the share based payment reserve

relating to those shares, options, PSRs or ESRs is also transferred to share capital.

18. EMPLOYEE EXPENSES (CONTINUED)
b) Employee share based compensation

From 1 April 2019, the Company grants options and PSRs to certain employees under

the 2019 Share Option Plan and the 2019 Performance Share Rights Plan. Prior to

April 2019, the Company granted options and PSRs to certain employees under the

2003 Share Option Plan and Employee Performance Share Rights Plan.

Vesting of all schemes is subject to the employee still being in service at date of vesting.

No amounts are payable for the grant of any options or share rights. Options, PSRs and

ESRs granted to employees have no voting rights until they have been exercised and

ordinary shares issued.

(i) Share option plan

Under the 2019 Share Option Plan, one option gives the employee the right to acquire one

ordinary share in the Company. Options vest on either the third, fourth or fifth anniversary

date of the grant as long as the FPH share price on the NZX on that date has exceeded

the “escalated price”. The escalated price is determined as at each anniversary of the

grant date and is calculated by:

• increasing the last calculated escalated price (which as at the grant date will be the

exercise price of the option) by a percentage amount determined by the Board to

represent the Company’s cost of capital; and

• reducing the resulting figure by the amount of any dividend paid by the Company

in respect of a share in the 12 month period immediately preceding that anniversary.

Under the 2003 Share Option Plan, options vest at any time between the third and the

fifth anniversary of the grant date, as long as FPH’s share price on the NZX has, at any

time on or after the third anniversary, exceeded the escalated price. The escalated price

is escalated for a period of three years only.

(ii) Performance share rights plan

Under the 2019 Performance Share Rights Plan, one share right gives the employee

the potential to exercise a share right for an ordinary share in the Company at no cost.

PSRs will only become exercisable if the Company’s gross total shareholder return (TSR)

performance exceeds the performance of the Dow Jones US Select Medical Equipment

Total Return Index (DJSMDQT) in NZD over the same period.

The plan is a 5 year scheme, with the potential for rights to fully vest on the third and

fourth anniversary of the grant date if the Company’s TSR performance exceeds that

of the DJSMDQT by 10 percentage points or more.

Under the previous Employee Performance Share Rights Plan partial vesting of PSRs was

possible at the third and fourth anniversary.

(iii) Employee share rights plan

The Employee Share Rights (ESR) Plan entitles certain New Zealand and Australian

employees to be issued ordinary shares in the Company. ESRs automatically vest on the

third anniversary of their grant date at no cost to the employee. For each ESR that vests,

one ordinary share will be issued.

(iv) Other Employee share and stock purchase plans

Employee Share Purchase Plan: New Zealand and Australian full time employees are

eligible, after a qualifying period, to participate in this plan. Shares are issued up to the

value of $2,000, with a discount of up to $500 per employee. Loans are provided to

employees for the purchase and repaid over the vesting period. No interest is charged

on the loans. The qualifying period between grant and vesting date is 3 years. At 31 March

2022 the total receivable owing from employees was $3.5 million (2021: $1.2 million).

Employee Stock Purchase Plan: North American employees working more than 20 hours

per week, in accordance with section 423 of the US Internal Revenue Code as amended,

are eligible to participate in this plan. Shares under this Plan are issued at a discount of

15%, are allocated to employees at the time of issue and vest immediately. Shares issued

under this plan in 2022 totalled 62,555 shares (2021: 79,889).

Measurement

The fair value of share options or PSRs is independently determined using a Monte Carlo

simulation valuation methodology. The fair value of ESRs is independently determined

using a discounted dividend approach. The key inputs and assumptions are included on

the following page.

that an outflow of resources will be required to settle an obligation. These are made

based on a review of the facts and circumstances surrounding the event and advice

21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including

currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Board has approved procedures and guidelines that identify and evaluate risks and

authorise various financial instruments to manage financial risks. These procedures and

guidelines are reviewed regularly.

a. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates,

interest rates and prices will affect profit or the value of financial instruments.

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk

exposures through the use of various financial instruments in accordance with the

Group’s treasury procedures.

(i) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future transactions and recognised assets and liabilities

are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from

various currency exposures, primarily US dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), Japanese yen (JPY)

and Mexican peso (MXN).

Foreign exchange risk is hedged in accordance with the treasury procedures.

The Group enters into foreign currency option contracts and forward foreign currency

contracts within procedure parameters to hedge the foreign exchange risk associated

with anticipated sales or costs. The terms of the foreign currency option contracts and the

forward foreign currency contracts generally do not exceed 5 years, but may have terms

of up to 10 years with Board approval.

Foreign exchange contracts and options in relation to sales are designated at the

Group level as hedges of foreign exchange risk on specific forecast foreign currency

denominated sales.

Balance sheet foreign exchange risk arising from net assets held by the Group may be

hedged either by debt in the relevant currency, foreign currency swaps, options and

forward contracts.

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from floating rate borrowings drawn under bank

debt facilities. When deemed appropriate, the Group manages floating interest rate risk

by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps and interest rate options within procedure

parameters. Interest rate swaps and options are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

Summarised sensitivity analysis

The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Group’s financial assets and financial

liabilities to interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk.

A sensitivity of +/-10% for foreign exchange risk has been selected (2021: +/-10%).

The Group believes that an overall sensitivity of +/-10% is reasonably possible given

the exchange rate volatility observed on a historical basis. A sensitivity of +/-1% has

been selected for interest rate risk (2021: +/-1%). This sensitivity is based on reasonably

possible changes over a financial year using the observed range of historical data.

All variables other than the applicable interest rates and exchange rates are held constant.

Fair value estimation

NZ IFRS 13 for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value requires disclosure

of the fair value measurements by level from the following fair value hierarchy:

• Level 1 – Quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets

and liabilities;

• Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted price included within level 1, that are observable

for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived

from prices);

• Level 3 – Inputs for assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data

(that is, unobservable inputs).

Financial Instruments

All the Group’s financial instruments held at fair value have been measured at the fair

value measurement hierarchy of level 2 (2021: level 2).

The fair value of derivative instruments designated in a hedging relationship is determined

using the following valuation techniques:

• Foreign currency forward exchange contracts have been fair valued using quoted

forward exchange rates and discounted using yield curves from quoted interest rates

that match the maturity dates of the contracts.

• Foreign currency option contracts have been fair valued using observable option

volatilities, and quoted forward exchange and interest rates that match the maturity

dates of the contracts.

• Interest rate swaps are fair valued by discounting the future interest and principal

cash flows using current market interest rates that match the maturity dates of

the contracts.

These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is

available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.

Land

Refer to Note 9 for further information about land that is measured at fair value including

a summary of the valuation techniques used.

Other

All financial assets other than derivatives are measured at amortised cost including

short-term investments. All financial liabilities other than derivatives are classified as

measured at amortised cost. Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are fair

valued using the contractual cash flows. The carrying value of financial assets and

liabilities approximates their fair value. In considering the fair value of interest-bearing

assets and liabilities, the estimated future interest rates approximate the discount rates

used in a fair value assessment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2022

21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
c. Credit risk

The Group is exposed to credit risk in respect of trade receivables, financial instruments,

cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in the normal course of business.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying value of these

financial assets. Credit risk is managed on a Group basis with no significant concentration

of credit risk.

The Group has procedures in place to ensure that sales of products and services are

made to customers with an appropriate credit history. There are no significant trade

receivable balances relating to customers who have previously defaulted on amounts

due to the Group.

Derivative counterparties, cash transactions, cash at banks, and short-term investments

are limited to high credit quality financial institutions. Over 92% of cash and short-term

investments (2021: 96%) is held with counterparties with credit rating of Standard and

Poors’ A- and above.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk from derivative financial instruments is limited because

it does not expect non-performance of the obligation contained therein due to the credit

rating of the financial institutions concerned.  

22. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER BALANCE DATE

Other than the dividends disclosed in Note 17, there are no other significant events after

balance date.

23. OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Changes to accounting policies

There have been no changes in accounting policies.


b. Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life or are under development are not subject

to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject

to depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or

changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal,

and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped

at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash

generating units).

c. Goods and Services Tax (GST)

The income statement has been prepared so that all components are stated exclusive

of GST. All items in the balance sheet are stated net of GST, with the exception of

trade receivables and payables, which include GST invoiced.


d. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial

institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of three

months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which

are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.

e. Short-term investments

Short-term investments includes all other current investments that do not meet

the definition of cash and cash equivalents. The balance represents deposits with

financial institutions with maturities at the date of acquisition less than 12 months.

f. Research and development

Research expenditure is expensed as incurred.

Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of

identifiable and unique products controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible

assets only when all the following criteria are met:

• it is technically feasible to complete the product so that it will be available for

use or sale;

• management intends to complete the product and use or sell it;

• there is an ability to use or sell the product;

• it can be demonstrated that the product will generate future economic benefits;

• adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development

and to use or sell the product are available and;

• the expenditure attributable to the product during its development can be

reliably measured and is material.

Directly attributable costs capitalised as part of the product would include employee

costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Other development

expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as

incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised

as an asset in a subsequent period. Development costs recognised as an asset are

amortised over their estimated useful lives.

g. Financial guarantee contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires a company within the Group

to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a

specified debtor fails to make payment when due. Financial guarantee contracts are

initially recognised at fair value. Financial guarantees are subsequently measured at

the greater of the initial recognition amount less amounts recognised as income or

the estimated amount expected to have to be paid to a holder for a loss incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the shareholders of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited

OUR OPINION

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Fisher & Paykel

Healthcare Corporation Limited (the Company), including its subsidiaries (the Group),

present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 March

2022, its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance

with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS)

and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

What we have audited

The Group’s consolidated financial statements comprise:

• the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2022;

• the consolidated income statement for the year then ended;

• the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;

• the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;

• the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and

• the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include significant

accounting policies and other explanatory information.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing

(New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)) and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our

responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s

responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to

provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard

1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International

Independence Standards) (New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing

and Assurance Standards Board and the International Code of Ethics for Professional

Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International

Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other

ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Our firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of executive remuneration

benchmarking, providing market survey data relating to executive remuneration levels,

regulatory tax compliance procedures in Mexico, and other assurance services in relation

to constant currency disclosures. The provision of these other services has not impaired

our independence as auditor of the Group.

130Section 04 | FINANCIALSFisher & Paykel Healthcare ANNUAL REPORT 2022

KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These

matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on

these matters.

Description of the key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue recognition

The Group’s revenue primarily consists of the sale of products. Operating revenue

totalled $1,681.7 million in the year ended 31 March 2022 as outlined in Note 4. In

determining the appropriate recognition of revenue, management has considered the

following characteristics of the sale of products:

• products are sold to customers in multiple territories with varying sales contract

terms and conditions; and

• in certain markets, sales are made to distributors and include rebate arrangement.

Management has concluded that:

• revenue is primarily derived from the satisfaction of a single performance

obligation for each contract which is the sale of products; and

• control of product transfers to the customer/distributor at the same time as legal

title passes.

Given the above, we have given significant audit focus and attention to the recognition

of revenue.

On a sample basis for each major operating subsidiary:

• we examined contracts with customers to validate that management’s conclusion in

relation to the determination of performance obligations and when control transfers

was appropriate; and

• validated that the rebate, payment and pricing arrangements supported the

recognition of a sale on transfer of control to the distributor.

We completed detailed audit procedures over revenue including:

• obtaining an understanding of systems, processes and controls and evaluating and

testing key controls in place over the recording of revenue;

• utilising data assurance techniques, for a targeted operating subsidiary to match cash

received during the year and amounts receivable at balance date to invoices issued

to customers and obtaining supporting evidence for any significant transactions that

were not matched to cash or receivables;

• for a sample of revenue transactions in the other major operating subsidiaries

we examined invoices issued to customers, shipping documentation and cash

remittances, where paid;

• for a sample of transactions within accounts receivable at balance date we obtained

either confirmation of the amount owing from the customer, or evidence of the

amount owing from alternative procedures including testing of subsequent receipts

or shipping documentation; and

• defining the time period where we determined there was a heightened risk of error in

relation to the timing of recognition of sales transactions. This involved determining

the potential time difference between when revenue is recognised in the accounting

system and when legal title passes. For a sample of transactions recognised within

the defined time period we confirmed that the date on which revenue was recognised

by management was appropriate by examining the associated invoice, the terms of

the sales contract, and the relevant product delivery documentation.

We believe that the procedures performed responded to the heightened risk and no

material exceptions were identified.

131Section 04 | FINANCIALSFisher & Paykel Healthcare ANNUAL REPORT 2022

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
OUR AUDIT APPROACH

Overview

Overall group materiality: $25.2 million, which represents 5%

of profit before tax.

We chose profit before tax as the benchmark because, in our

view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the

Group is most commonly measured by users and is a generally

accepted benchmark.

Our Group audit scoping focussed on the major operating

subsidiaries which were selected based on their contribution

to the Group’s revenue or profit before tax. We performed

analytical procedures over the other subsidiaries.

As reported above, we have one key audit matter, being

revenue recognition.

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and

assessed the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In

particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example,

in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and

considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also

addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other

matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk

of material misstatement due to fraud.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is

designed to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial

statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or

error. They are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably

be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the

consolidated financial statements.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds

for materiality, including the overall Group materiality for the consolidated financial

statements as a whole as set out above. These, together with qualitative considerations,

helped us to determine the scope of our audit, the nature, timing and extent of our

audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and

in aggregate, on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

How we tailored our group audit scope

We designed our audit by assessing the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated

financial statements and our application of materiality. As in all of our audits, we also

addressed the risk of management override of internal controls including among other

matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of

material misstatement due to fraud.

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to

provide an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into

account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the

industry in which the Group operates.

Our Group audit focussed on the major operating subsidiaries which were selected

based on their contribution to the Group’s revenue or profit before tax. In aggregate,

the subsidiaries selected for audit procedures contributed 87% of the Group’s revenue

and 92% of the Group’s profit before tax. We performed analytical procedures over

the other subsidiaries.

Audits of the selected subsidiaries are performed at a materiality level determined by

reference to a proportion of Group materiality appropriate to the relative scale of the

business concerned.

OTHER INFORMATION

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises

the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the consolidated

financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information

and we do not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility

is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information

is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge

obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the

work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date

of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other

information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair

presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and

IFRS, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the

preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement,

whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for

assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,

matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless

the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no

realistic alternative but to do so.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial

statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,

and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high

level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs

(NZ) and ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can

arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,

they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken

on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial

statements is located at the External Reporting Board’s website at:

https://www.xrb.govt.nz/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

WHO WE REPORT TO

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has

been undertaken so that we might state those matters which we are required to state to

them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by

law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the

Looking ahead

No guidance provided for the 2023 financial year.

Homecare product group

•OSA mask growth dependent on new patient diagnosis

rates

•Subject to availability of treatment hardware in FY23, we

expect new OSA patient diagnoses to be above FY22

rates

Hospital product group

•Sold ~$880M of hospital hardware during FY21 and FY22

•Do not expect hardware sales to continue at FY22 levels

•FY22 – estimate average utilisationof hospital hardware

~60% to 70% of a pre-COVID-19 midpoint

•We are not yet able to predict the pace of clinical change

None of the observations or scenario modelling outlined on this page is a prediction, forecast or guide for FY2023.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

•Obstructive sleep apnea is an underdiagnosed

medical condition, with multiple negative

outcomes to patients' health.

•It can greatly impair quality of sleep, leading to

fatigue; also associated with hypertension,

stroke and heart attack

•Estimate >100 million people affected in

developed countries

•Most common treatment is CPAP

(Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)

•Key issue with CPAP is compliance

•Humidification provides significant acceptance and

compliance improvements
