Fisher & Paykel Healthcare profit nearly triples

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare’s annual profit has nearly tripled, rebounding strongly from a year impacted by one-off items, with underlying profit up 6 percent when those anomalies are excluded.

The company surpassed $2 billion in revenue, fuelled by strong global demand for hospital respiratory equipment and sleep apnoea masks.

While the company faces a 50-basis point margin hit from US tariffs on New Zealand-sourced hospital products, it expects gross margins to improve through operational efficiencies.

Managing director Lewis Gradon emphasized a continued focus on mitigating cost pressures through process improvements. The firm projects 2026 revenue between $2.15 billion and $2.25 billion, with net profit forecast between $390 million and $440 million.
