SOM is a global leader in COAT (Continuous Open Airway Therapy) products and has recently embarked on a rapid expansion of its sales business in Europe and the US while increasing its product offerings.

(%) 1M 3M 12M Absolute 22% 49% 105% Major shareholders % held TDM Asset Management 8.1 Australian Ethical Investments Ltd 5.6 A play on the dollar With more than 90% of SOM s sales originating from Europe and the US, SOM is leveraged to currency movements. Past sales have been hampered by an increasing AUD but the declining AUD will benefit SOM, investors should see higher average prices paid (in A$) flow through the revenue figures. US market penetration Although different countries adopt COAT technology at vary ing rates, it appears that once established, the share of patients has usually settled around a 50/50 COAT to CPAP in mature and fully reimbursed markets. Where we see significant opportunity is in the US where COAT is in relative infancy at only 5% market penetration. Being SOM s largest addressable market and currently holding around 50% of sales in the US COAT market, the fragmentati0n of the US market will provide significant upside to sales. The US market is predicted to grow from 180,000-200,000 patients fitted with custom made oral appliances in 2013 to over 1 million patients in 2020. The quadrupling of the addressable market and the potential for a taking a bigger piece of the pie provides significant upside. Investment View - ADD We initiate with an ADD recommendation and a price target and valuation of A$2.97 which provides 17.8% upside to the current share price. SOM has had huge success over the last year in entering new and growing existing markets and we expect SOM to continue expanding its European footprint and expanding the US distribution and service networks through beefed up medical sales team. a 12 month price performance 2.8 2.6 2.4 2.2 2 1.8 1.6 1.4 1.2 1 0.8 Sep 13 Oct 13 Nov 13 Dec 13 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Figure 1: Financial Summary FY12A FY13A FYA FY15F FY16F Revenue 15.2 18.5 25.9 32.3 38.8 Revenue growth 21% 40% 25% 20% EBITDA 0.8 0.7 0.9 3.5 6.0 EBITDA growth -13% 31% 283% 69% NPAT 0.4 0.5 0.4 2.8 5.3 NPAT growth 25% -21% 641% 86% EPS (c ) 0.8 1.0 0.8 5.8 10.7 PE Ratio (x) 260.9 209.0 271.2 36.6 19.6 DPS (c ) 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 Yield 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% EV/EBITDA 120.5 138.2 113.0 26.7.8 SOURCE: MORGANS, COMPANY REPORTS IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES REGARDING COMPANIES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS REPORT AND AN EXPLANATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS CAN BE FOUND AT THE END OF THIS DOCUMENT.

Sleeping Easy 1. COMPANY OVERVIEW SomnoMed Limited (SOM) is a designer and manufacturer of a premium range of oral appliances for the treatment of sleep related breathing disorders such as sleep apnoea and sleep bruxism. SOM listed on the ASX in July 2004, headquartered in Sy dney. SOM has a growing presence in three key markets being Asia-Pacific, North America and Europe through product positioning with dentists, sleep specialists and third party agents. To date, 190,000 patients have used one of SOM s products. Figure 2: SomnoDent G2 SOURCE: COMPANY DATA 2. INVESTMENT VIEW We initiate coverage with an ADD recommendation. We have v alued SOM as A$2.97 using a DCF methodology. Our price target has been set at the same level. 2.1 Key strengths Increasing confidence in efficacy of COAT Because of the comfort and unobtrusiveness of COAT, there is a high level of compliance which has been a growing issue for physicians, patients and insurers in regards to the CPAP system. The higher compliance rate and lower cost will help COAT increase market share. US m arket well below established COAT m arket penetration Newly established markets for CPAP (Continued Open Airway Therapy ) have been found to settle around the 50/50 COAT to CPAP once established and fully reimbursed. COAT market penetration in the US is currently only around the 5% mark, and we believe there is significant upside potential in this market in the range of 20% penetration by 2020. With about 50% of the market is being supplied by dental laboratories and individual technicians, SOM currently accounts for 11% of the COAT market in the US. Potential for growth SOM are increasing their focus on the US market, deploy ing more sales reps to market the product lines. In Europe, SOM have been rapidly expanding their reach in the last year entering 9

new countries with another 6 planned by 2015. Currently, SOM have over 4,500 aligned dentists which are educated and trained in the fitting of SomnoDent. The Euro segment grew sales by 40% in FY, with high uptake in the new markets. Across all segments, SOM achieved full year unit sales of 43,438 units and a growth of 21% over the prior year. Higher compliance rate Various studies have reported that compliance rates for COAT sy stems are over 80% (based on self-reported compliance numbers) while CPAP rates are at or below 50% at 2 y ears. The higher compliance rate will drive insurers and patients to the more comfortable treatment option of COAT. 2.2 Key risks FX risks Rate impacts exists with around 90% of SOM s revenue coming from outside of Australia (Europe comprising ~45% and North America ~45%). Currently, we hold the view that this as a positive as we believe the Australian dollar will weaken over the next one to two year s against the USD, increasing AUD revenue. Expansion risks Given SOM s intention to further expand their European markets as well as increase its US footprint, additional funding either through debt/equity markets may be required. This is a small risk as SOM has managed to expand into these new markets over the last few y ears. Substitution risks Alternative products exist in the sleep apnoea and bruxism arena such as CPAP, Herbst devices (cottage industry dentists) and nasal alternatives. The costs of the most viable alternative (CPAP) are much higher than COAT devices and are more obtrusive so we would expect to see a higher growth rate of COAT versus CPAP, especially in the US as confidence increases in these sy stems. Reimbursement risks There are reimbursement risks associated with all medical therapies whereby insurance companies/government partially or fully subsidise the patients for the use of the product. Insurers are increasingly reimbursing COAT at various rates but often struggle to lock in a price for the dental service component. 2.3 Growth outlook SOM is focussed on: Growing its sales team in North America; Expanding its European footprint; and Improving the product lines and complementary products.

3. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW 3.1 What is Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA)? Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a serious and lifelong medical condition where the incidence increases as we get older. OSA is a condition that can affect your sleep, health and quality of life. The condition is characterised by cessation of breathing or pauses in breathing due to the blockage or obstruction of the airways during sleep. It has been linked to hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, work and driving related accidents and stroke. Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnoea; around 84% of people with sleep apnoea are diagnosed with the disease. Studies suggest that about 100 million people worldwide are suspected to have obstructive sleep apnoea, of which more than 80% remain undiagnosed. Sleep apnoea is a relatively new market in the medical field, gaining momentum at a fast pace, especially in developed geographies. The demand for sleep apnoea devices is expected to increase at a faster pace, owing to gradually increasing awareness among both patients and the medical fraternity. 3.2 What causes OSA? During sleep, muscles relax, including those that control the tongue and throat. The soft tissue at the back of throat can sag, narrowing and constricting the airway. Figure 4: Airw ay obstruction 3.3 Market Growth The global sleep apnoea market was valued at $7.96bn in 2011 and is expected to reach $19.72bn by 2017 representing a % compound annual growth rate (CAGR). North America was the largest market, followed by Europe and Asia. The Asian region s contribution (~13.5%) to the global sleep apnoea device market is expected to increase in the coming y ears among care givers and patients as the region shifts from curative medicine to wellness and prevention. 3.4 Products Worn during sleep, continuous open airway therapy (COAT) is a first line therapeutic treatment option for people with mild to moderate OSA and consists of devices that have two components which fit over the upper and lower teeth. SOM s products are oral Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD) which treats OSA by stabilizing and / or moving the lower jaw slightly forward. This optimal position of the jaw prevents the patient s airway from collapsing during sleep. The biggest advantage of the COAT devices is the high compliance rate due to the unobtrusive nature of the product.

SOM have six main product lines: Fusion A combination flagship device that blends the best of a modular sy stem, extended forward titration and SMH BFlex soft inner lining. Expected to be the sales volume leader. G2 Features easy and a most accurate calibration sy stem of removable modular parts that is metal-free and easy to wear, clean and adjust. Flex Made with unique SMH BFlex material, the SomnoDent Flex has a soft inner liner which maintains superior retention and offers premium patient comfort Classic The original innovation in custom made oral devices, the SomnoDent Classic uses medical grade stainless steel ball clasps to enhance retention Herbst Advanced A superior version of the industry standard with a unique titration mechanism Figure 1: SOM product lines 3.5 Alternative Products Alternative treatments for the condition include breathing devices such as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) to ke ep the airway open during sleep or surgery to expand the airway. CPAP is a medical device used to treat patients during sleep and currently commands around 70% of the market. The user wears a face mask connected to a compressor that blows air into the airway at pressures high enough to overcome obstructions and stimulate normal breathing. The airway pressure delivered into the upper airway is continuous during both inspiration and expiration. In addition to the CPAP devices, the industry also includes the accessories like facial interfaces and humidifiers. Prices ranges (before reimbursement) for most CPAP machines are A$1,000-$2,500 and supplies (mask, tubes and filters) run between A$300-$800p.a. Figure 2: CPAP users have comparatively low compliance rates SOURCES: MORGANS

4. FINANCIAL SUMMARY 4.1 FY results show strong growth Revenue was up 39.5% to A$25.9m driven by new markets and increasing market share. Contributing at a faster rate are the new European markets, increasing the European contribution to 36% of revenues from 31% on pcp. If we review revenue growth since 2009, we note a compound growth rate of 36% in units sold and 39% in A$ revenue. EBITDA grew by 26.5% to A$1.05m after expensing investments made during the year in the build-up of the US medical departments, acquisitions of European businesses and costs associated with the entry into new markets in Europe and Asia. Product gross margin was 67 % despite being affected by additional production and service costs. NPAT decreased to A$0.2m from A$0.704m representing a 70% decline on pcp. This was predominately due to costs associated with recent corporate activity, expenses incurred opening new markets in Europe, and a reduced deferred tax adjustment rather than a reflection of business activity. SOM had $2.9m of cash reserves as at 30 June 20. SOM has since raised $7m through a placement and currently has cash reserves over $9m. There was no debt. Net operating cash flow was ($0.8m) in FY compared with $0.6m in the previous year and reflects continued investment in new products and geographies. Figure 3: Shares of units sold by global region

4.2 Outlook for FY15 After investing ~A$2m in FY to increase SOM s medical sales force in the US, the medical division is on track to break even in FY15. New European market entrants are also expected to breakeven by 2H15. Gross margin is expected to be maintained in the high sixty percent range due to economies of scale and stable corporate overheads. Unit sales are expected to grow by 26.5% to 55,000 units due to increasing product demand and awareness, a widening product line and geographical expansion while revenue is expected to grow by 25% to A$32.5m.

VALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION 6.1 Valuation We have valued SOM at A$2.97 using a DCF valuation methodology. To derive our DCF of A$2.97 we have assumed a weighted average cost of capital of 12.5%, long term EBITDA growth rate of 28% until 2024 and a terminal growth of 8 times. Other assumptions are: SomnoDent unit sale price of A$596, COGS margin of 35% and operating costs increase of 10% YoY. For more detail, refer to table 1 below. Table 1: Key Drivers Drivers FY12A FY13A FYA FY15F FY16F SomnoDent Av sold p.a. 43400 54250 65100 Ave $ per unit 596 596 596 SomnoDent revenue $Am 26 32 39 Total Revenue A$m 26 32 39 SOURCES: MORGANS, COMPANY REPORTS 6.2 Forecasts and Sensitivities The key assumptions driving our forecasts are contained in Table 1. Our model is most sensitive to a change in the long term growth rate; a 1% increase/decrease impacts our DCF valuation by $0./($0.) respectively. Our COGS rate is currently set at 35% of revenue based on an evaluation of FY12- gross margins which ranged from 32%-35%. The sensitivity to a 1% increase/decrease impacts our valuation by $0.16/($0.16) respectively.

6.3 Recommendation We initiate with an ADD recommendation and a price target and valuation of A$2.97 which provides 17.8% upside to the current share price.
