Fisher & Paykel Healthcare announced today that settlement of the global patent infringement litigation with ResMed will not have a material impact on its net profit after tax guidance for the 2019 financial year.
The company provided earnings guidance in an announcement to the market on 26 November 2018 and the company expects no material impact to that guidance given the proximity of the settlement to the end of the company’s financial year and the legal fees expected to be incurred to withdraw the pending infringement cases.
More detail regarding the settlement of the global patent infringement litigation is available in the company’s corresponding press release.
