Full Year Result Announcement for the year ending 31 March 2019.


GREEN CROSS HEALTH REPORTED PROFIT UP 3.2%

29 May 2019, AUCKLAND, NZ: Listed primary health care provider Green Cross Health, the group

behind Unichem and Life Pharmacy, The Doctors and Access Community Health, has reported a 5.6%

increase in Revenue to $567m in the twelve months to 31 March 2019 compared to the prior period.

Net Profit after Tax Attributable to Shareholders was $16.1 million, up 3.2% from $15.6 million

(restated from $16.8m

1

) in the prior period.

Result Summary:

• Revenue of $567m (+5.6%)

• EBITDA

2

at $36.9m (+2.3%)

• Operating Profit $29.4m (-2.2%)

• Reported Net Profit after Tax Attributable to Shareholders of $16.1m (+3.2%)

• Pharmacy Revenue flat at $340m, Operating Profit down 5.5% at $27.3m

• Medical performed strongly with Revenue up 34% and Operating Profit up 20% to $4.4m

• Community Health Revenue up 9.3% but Operating Profit $0.1m (down $1.1m)

• Operating Cash Flow $29.5m (down $3.7m)

• Net Debt $32.5m (reduction of $6.0m)

• Final Dividend declared consistent with prior period at 3.5 cents per share.

The prior period Net Profit after Tax Attributable to Shareholders for the year ended 31 March 2018

has been restated from $16.8m to $15.6m due to two changes made to the Community Health result,

being the introduction of IFRS 15 during the year which required a write off of $0.5m capitalised

contract bidding costs and a $0.7m increase in the provision for alternate leave liability due to a

correction in the calculation of this provision.

Restated to incorporate changes in Accounting Standards and restatement of alternate leave liability. See

note 2 (c) of the 2019 financial statements.

2

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. It is the net of Operating Revenue less Operating Expenditure and excludes

Share of Equity accounted net earnings.

There are no underlying profit adjustments made to this year’s result. Last year the company reported

a +$1.9m underlying profit adjustment related to a material one-off unfunded increase in leave

liability as a result of pay equity legislation.

Green Cross Health chair Peter Merton, says, “we are pleased to report revenue growth of 5.6% to

$567m over the last 12 months. The year in review has been one of transition for much of the

company, as Green Cross Health has responded to increased competition in Pharmacy. The Medical

division has continued to post strong results as it benefits from both organic growth and selective

acquisitions. The Community Health divisional result has been impacted by a challenging funding and

labour cost landscape and the company is looking for support from funders to ensure the ongoing

viability of this division.

The year in review has also seen a transition in management, with Rachael Newfield beginning a newly

created position as Group Chief Executive Officer in late January 2019. Rachael has significant CEO

and commercial experience, having previously held the position of CEO Carter Holt Harvey Wood

Products division. Management changes have resulted in higher than usual recruitment and corporate

costs incurred over the past year.

The company is in a strong financial position, having generated approximately $30m in operating cash

flows per annum for the past two years and maintaining a conservative balance sheet. This position

allows the company to pay dividends, withstand market pressures and invest in growth and/or pay

down debt.”

Unichem & Life Pharmacy Division

Pharmacy Revenue was down 0.3% at $340m, with Operating Profit down 5.5% at $27.3m largely

because of gross margin decline, as the company responded tactically to a change in the competitive

environment.

Overall, same store sales were up 1.1%. However, due to the change in sales mix and increased

promotional activity, the same store gross margin was down 1.4% to 35.7%.

External challenges disrupted several stores this year, including major infrastructure works in the

Auckland CBD and mall redevelopments at 277 Newmarket, Shore City, Queensgate, Courtenay Place


3

Adding the $1.9m to the restated prior period Reported Net Profit of $15.6m results in an Underlying Profit

after Tax Attributable to Shareholders of $17.5m for the year ended 31 March 2018. See note 6.3 of the 2019

financial statements.

and Commercial Bay. A record low cold and flu winter season also resulted in retail sales in the

cough/cold and pain “over the counter” categories being down 5.9% year-on-year.

During the year the company continued its focus on optimising its pharmacy investments and made a

number of changes to its equity positions in the store network including increasing its equity stake in

Unichem Cuba Mall Pharmacy, the sale of its equity stakes in Life Pharmacy Tauranga and Unichem

Timaru Pharmacy, the closure of Life Pharmacy Queen Street (following damage to this site) and the

closure of Unichem Maxx in Auckland. Unichem Plimmer Steps Pharmacy, a greenfield site, was

opened in central Wellington, whilst Unichem Pakuranga Pharmacy was relocated to an expanded site

in a new, purpose-built integrated family health centre.

The company added three licensed stores to the branded group, which now totals 360 Unichem and

Life pharmacies, of which 89 are stores in which it holds an equity stake. Prescriptions for the 12

months to 31 March 2019 totalled 7.2m across owned stores (-1.8% on a same store basis).

The upgrade of the Life Pharmacy e-commerce site was largely completed during the year, with the

focus now shifted to driving traffic and sales via this channel through digital marketing and improving

fulfilment capabilities.

Loyalty customers grew 8.0% to 1.6m New Zealanders participating in the Living Rewards programme

at 31 March 2019. The company remains focused on providing a strong multi-channel customer

experience, along with personalised customer service focused on supporting health, beauty and

wellness.

During the year, Green Cross Health restructured its presence in the China Cross Border e-commerce

market under a licence fee arrangement, capitalising on New Zealand’s reputation for health, beauty

and wellness products. The Unichem-branded Alibaba T-Mall site is now one of the top 15 highest

selling health product sites on T-Mall.

The company continues to leverage its national network to expand existing funder streams, including

aged residential care and community residential care, whilst developing new strategic partnerships,

such as funded health services with private healthcare insurers.

While acknowledging a changing retail landscape, the company continues to capitalise on its leading

market position across New Zealand and extensive Living Rewards loyalty database. The division

remains focused on its core retail disciplines, expanding its e-commerce and digital engagement and

pursuing operational efficiencies.

The Doctors Medical Division

Medical Revenue increased 34% to $70.5m, with Operating Profit up 20% to $4.4m, driven by organic

growth, selective acquisitions and improvements in operational efficiency. The division has increased

enrolled patients by approximately 18,000 (+7.6%) since March 2018 to 255,000.

Two medical centres located at Waimauku and St Heliers were acquired during the year. Medical also

increased its investment in two associate medical centre businesses, at New Lynn and Whakatane,

moving to majority interest. The net acquisition cost invested in medical centres over the 12 months

to 31 March 2019 was $3.3m.

Operationally, Medical will continue to roll out initiatives to provide improved patient access and

operational efficiency, including process improvement and labour cost control.

Green Cross Health continues to seek increased scale in Medical centres, with the The Doctors network

now numbering 41 medical centres.

Community Health Division (Access Community Health & Total Care Health nursing)

Revenue growth in Community Health continued, up 9.3% to $156.6m. However, the Community

Health Operating Profit was disappointing at $0.1m, down $1.1m from $1.2m

4

reported in the prior

year largely due to continued funding challenges.

Included in the $0.1m operating result is a $0.4m increase in leave liability resulting from support

worker pay increases due to pay equity legislation. The last of these scheduled pay rate rises will

occur 1

st

July 2021.

During the year, a new Community Health division CEO, Alison van Wyk, was appointed. Alison brings

a long history with Green Cross Health and significant experience in the primary healthcare sector.

The division has also exited the underperforming Midlands DHB contract and retendered and won

the Greater Wellington contract on new terms which began on 1 April 2019 alongside a new

additional provider.


The division was also one of five successful organisations to be approved to deliver National ACC

Integrated Home and Community Support Services which provides an opportunity for Green Cross

Health to grow its market share in the ACC market.


4

The division’s FY18 operating result has been restated to incorporate changes in Accounting Standards and

restatement of alternate leave liability. See note 2 (c) of the 2019 financial statements.



5

The company hopes more sustainable community health funding will be a result of the health and

disability funding review currently being undertaken by Government. The division is focused on

working with funders of unprofitable contracts to either exit, improve funding or rebalance services

supplied. It also remains focused on growing revenue in the higher clinical needs segments and

continuing to pursue operational efficiencies.

Future Focus

Looking forward, the company remains focused on ensuring that Green Cross Health is well positioned

to provide quality primary health care through its network of health care experts. The company is

committed to investing in the expertise of its people, including significant investment in leadership

training in the coming year.

Green Cross Health is confident in delivering future earnings growth, both organically and through

selective acquisitions. Whilst the tougher commercial environment has limited acquisition

opportunities in the short term, the company believes this cycle will change in the near future.

Green Cross Health is working closely with the Ministry of Health and District Health Boards on new

services while strengthening its connection with its communities. The company's trusted brands and

nationwide footprint will continue to offer convenient access to health, beauty and wellness products

and services. Green Cross Health is developing income streams that use the company's nationwide

network as a base for commercial success.

Dividend

The Directors have resolved to pay a fully imputed final dividend of 3.5 cents per share to shareholders

on the register at 5pm on 13 June 2019. The dividend is consistent with the prior year and will be

paid on 27 June 2019.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of Green Cross Health Limited


Report on the consolidated financial statements


Opinion


In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated

financial statements of Green Cross Health Limited

(the company) and its subsidiaries (the Group) on

pages 6 to 26:

i. present fairly in all material respects the Group’s

financial position as at 31 March 2019 and its

financial performance and cash flows for the

year ended on that date; and

ii. comply with New Zealand Equivalents to

International Financial Reporting Standards and

International Financial Reporting Standards.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated

financial statements which comprise:

— the consolidated statement of financial position

as at 31 March 2019;

— the consolidated statements of comprehensive

income, changes in equity and cash flows for

the year then ended; and

— notes, including a summary of 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)’). We

believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) Code of

Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the

International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA

Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the

IESBA Code.

Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the

consolidated financial statements section of our report.

Our firm has also provided other services to the Group in relation to tax compliance and advisory services.

Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the Group on normal

terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the Group. These matters have not

impaired our independence as auditor of the Group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the

Group.



Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Materiality helped us to determine the

nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually

and on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The materiality for the consolidated financial

statements as a whole was set at $1.2 million determined with reference to a benchmark of group profit before

tax. We chose the benchmark because, in our view, this is a key measure of the Group’s performance.

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 in the current period. We summarise below those matters and our key

audit procedures to address those matters in order that the shareholders as a body may better understand the

process by which we arrived at our audit opinion. Our procedures were undertaken in the context of and solely

for the purpose of our statutory audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole and we do not

express discrete opinions on separate elements of the consolidated financial statements.


The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

Impairment of goodwill ($126.5 million)


Refer to note 12 to the consolidated financial

statements.

The Group has grown significantly through

acquisitions in its Pharmacy, Medical and

Community Health business units which has

resulted in the recognition of goodwill on the

balance sheet in the amount of $75.1 million, $32.4

million and $19.0 million, respectively.

In the event the business units under-perform

compared to their business cases, there is a risk

that the goodwill arising on acquisition may no

longer be supported.

As disclosed in note 12, the Group uses a

discounted cash flow model to determine the

recoverable amount of its business units to which

goodwill has been allocated. The key assumptions

include:

- Income growth rates and achievement of

operating cost efficiencies taking into

consideration the Group’s business unit plans

and ensuring consistent application of best

practice across it’s pharmacies, medical

centres and home care operations;

- Discount rates based on a weighted average

cost of capital applicable for each of the cash

generating units reflecting an assessment of

the time value of money and the risks specific

to the business; and

- A terminal growth rate taking into

consideration the long term inflation rate.

The annual impairment test performed by the

Group was significant to our audit due to the

magnitude of the goodwill balance and because

the assessment process involved judgment about

the future performance of the business units,

including considering future economic and market

conditions.

Our audit procedures included:

- Ensuring the allocation of goodwill to the

Group’s business units is appropriate;

- Evaluating the methodology, mathematical accuracy

and assumptions applied in the discounted cash flow

models. We used our own valuation specialists to

assist us with the consideration of terminal growth

and discount rates;

- Challenging management’s cash flow assumptions

over projected cash flows taking into consideration

the expected impact of the Group’s business plans

for each business unit by reference to their

historical performance and the internal and external

factors that influence their operations;

- Performing sensitivity analysis around the key

assumptions used in the models, and

reviewed appropriateness of related

disclosures in the consolidated financial

statements.

We did not identify material exceptions from procedures

performed, and found the judgements and assumptions

used in the assessment of goodwill impairment to be

balanced.

consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears materially

misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this

other information, we are required to report that fact. We have received the Directors Declaration and have nothing

to report in regards to it. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this

Independent Auditor's Report and we will report the matters identified, if any, to the Directors.



Use of this independent auditor’s report

This independent auditor’s report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our audit work has been

undertaken so that we might state to the shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in the

independent 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 shareholders as a body for our audit work, this independent

auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.



Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial

statements

The Directors, on behalf of the company, are responsible for:

— the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally

accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards) and International Financial Reporting Standards;

— implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a consolidated set of financial

statements that is fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

— assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related

to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate 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 objective is:


— 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 independent 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 will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They 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 these consolidated financial statements is located at

the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at:

http://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/

This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Aaron Woolsey.
