Green Cross Health (NZX: GXH)
Half Year Result Announcement for the unaudited six months ending 30 September 2020
GREEN CROSS HEALTH REPORTS HALF YEAR PROFIT OF $8.8M
25 November 2020, AUCKLAND, NZ: Listed primary healthcare provider Green Cross Health, the
group behind Unichem and Life Pharmacy, The Doctors and Access Community Health, reported
revenue of $277m for the six months to 30 September 2020, consistent with the prior period. Net
Profit After Tax Attributable to Shareholders of $8.8 million includes growth in the Medical and
Community Health divisions, offsetting weakness in the Pharmacy division.
Result Summary:
Revenue of $277m
Operating Profit (EBIT) of $17.9m
Net Profit After Tax Attributable to Shareholders of $8.8m
Pharmacy Revenue down 5% and Operating Profit down 11% at $10.9m due to the impact of
COVID-19 on retail sales
Medical division continues to grow, with Revenue up 8% and Operating Profit at $5.7m
Community Health Revenue up 10% and Operating Profit at $2.4m
Government wage subsidy amounts of $8.0m included in Group Revenue and passed on to
employees
No interim dividend declared due to ongoing uncertainty in the market, relating to COVID-19 and
the associated economic downturn.
Green Cross Health Group CEO Rachael Newfield, says, “Against a difficult backdrop created by COVID-
19, the growth in the profitability of the Medical and Community Health divisions has been
encouraging. The Pharmacy division endured a tough six months, with retail gross profit down 24%
due to the impact of COVID-19 and the corresponding squeeze on retail spending. Wage subsidy
amounts of $8.0m are included in Group Revenue for the period, with the vast majority relating to the
87
individual pharmacies within the portfolio. In line with the objective and criteria of the wage
subsidy scheme, the
pharmacies were able to retain staff during the wage subsidy period, with all
amounts passed on to
employees.
As an essential service, we remained open over the lockdown periods to serve patients and the
community during uncertain and challenging times. We remain cautious given the uncertainty caused
by COVID-19, and therefore focus remains on maintaining a strong Balance Sheet and on cash
preservation.”
Unichem &
Life Pharmacy Division
Pharmacy Revenue for the period saw a decline of 5%, reflecting the impact of COVID-19 on the
ability of customers to shop in-store during the various COVID-19 alert levels, as well as some
pharmacy closures. Operating Profit was down $1.3m to $10.9m.
Dispensing activity was supported by temporary changes to repeat dispensing rules, which increased
dispensing revenue and gross profit. However, this was more than offset by the COVID-19 impact to
retail sales in shopping mall and Auckland and Wellington CBD stores, which contributed to retail
gross profit being down 24% on the prior period.
The Pharmacy division has progressed its pricing and margin management plans, and also
commenced work on its product range review, including exclusive distribution arrangements. In our
pharmacies, we have also made progress on realigning occupancy and labour costs to the changing
market conditions.
In the period, the greenfield pharmacy site in the Commercial Bay
development in Auckland’s CBD
began trading, and we saw the two Karori pharmacies in Wellington, acquired in February 2020,
trade for the full period.
COVID-19 saw our pharmacies innovating by offering h
ome delivery prescription services within their
communities, although this in turn created increased costs and challenges with collecting the $5
Government-mandated prescription co-payment from consumers given the move to contactless
delivery methods. We continue to call on Government to review the intention of the co-payment
policy and ensure it is in line with Government’s “equity of access” healthcare policies.
We expect retail sales performance will face challenges
from changes in consumer retail spending as
a result of COVID-19, coupled with competitive pressures facing the sector. We are focused on core
retail disciplines including pricing and product range, the development of further professional service
offers to our customers as well as ensuring occupancy and labour costs are right-sized by store.
The optimisation of our pharmacy investment portfolio is a priority, both through potential store
closures and assessing strategic acquisition opportunities.
The Doctors Medical Division
Medical Revenue increased 8% to $41.0m, with Operating
Profit at $5.7m, driven by organic and
acquired revenue growth and improved operational efficiency. The recent acquisitions in late FY20
(Drury Surgery and purchase of a patient book into The Doctors Fred Thomas) have also added to the
increase in revenue and operating profit. The Doctors network currently numbers 43 medical centres,
with the addition of Gabriel Medical Practice (Mt Roskill) just before the end of the period.
Operationally, COVID-19 has had a significant impact on acute patient presentations, particularly in
Urgent Care and walk-in clinic settings. In some areas this has been mitigated by revenue from COVID-
19 swabbing activity. Our previous focus on embedding telephone triaging of patients has enabled the
shift to phone and video consults during lockdown periods to be more seamless. This has been
followed-up with initiatives to enable remote payment handling in clinics, plus development of a more
end-to-end video consultation platform (housecall.co.nz). Investing in infrastructure that caters to
the growing trend for patients to access their clinicians through online channels, will remain a priority.
We have worked closely with funders to ensure General Practice services remain sustainable and have
moved to more bulk-funded arrangements with PHOs, particularly in the Auckland and Bay of Plenty
regions. We expect the implementation of recommendations of the Health & Disability System Review
will see providers working more closely with central funders to address access and equity issues.
These activities, combined with the growth of enrolled patients during the period, to 269,000 enrolled
patients, allowed the division to deliver an increased return.
We remain committed to providing high-quality services, with all practices in the group fully
accredited for national quality standards and having a strong focus on patient safety, patient health
outcomes and continuous quality improvement. Increasing scale and operational capability in the
Medical division is at the core of the division’s growth strategy, along with selectively acquiring
practices.
Community Health Division
Revenue for the period in the Community Health division increased b
y 10% to $82.5m; this is mainly
due to the strategy of supporting clients in the community with higher clinical needs coupled with
service improvement, enabling our most vulnerable clients to successfully live independently within
their own homes.
Supported by our ongoing focus on efficiency and cost management, the Community Health division
returned an Operating Profit of $2.4m. Despite the improvement, the operating profit margin for the
division remains low at 3%.
The division’s specialist nursing care business, Total Care Health continued to consolidate its presence
and service in existing regions while expanding into new segments of care, driving enhanced clinical
outcomes and supporting convenient client access. Investing in developing enhanced technology
aimed at supporting improved client-centred care remains paramount to the division’s strategy.
The Home and Community Support sector remains vulnerable due to ongoing wage pressures,
compliance costs and significant administrative costs, with limited uplift in funding. We continue to
advocate for support from all funders to return the sector to a position of sustainability and to
recognise the value of supporting our most vulnerable populations to live within their communities
for longer.
Outlook and Dividend
Green Cross Health is focused on delivering earnings growth whilst refining its operating model to
adapt to changing market conditions. The Company has worked to maintain a strong Balance Sheet
(including not paying a full year dividend for FY20) in light of the challenging landscape that has been
shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to safeguard this position and to capitalise on acquisition
opportunities that may eventuate as a result of the economic climate, the Board has resolved not to
declare an interim dividend.
Green Cross Health is committed to providing all New Zealanders accessible, quality primary
healthcare. As part of this commitment, we will continue to advocate for the removal of the
prescription co-payment Government tax, and remain optimistic that the implementation of the
recommendations from the New Zealand Health & Disability System Review will see the improved
accessibility and affordability of primary healthcare for New Zealand communities.

Green Cross Health Limited
Notes to the financial statements
For the six months ended 30 September 2020
1 Reporting Entity
Green Cross Health Limited (the “Parent” or the "Company") is a New Zealand company registered under the Companies
Act 1993 and is an FMC entity for the purposes of the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and the Financial Markets Conduct Act
2013. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with these Acts. The Company is listed on the NZX
Main Board ("NZX").
The consolidated interim financial statements of Green Cross Health Limited comprise the Parent, its subsidiaries, and its
interest in associates and joint ventures (together referred to as the “Group”).
2 Basis of preparation of financial statements
(a) Statement of compliance
These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP), NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and other applicable Financial Reporting
Standards as appropriate for profit oriented entities. These consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of
the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 March 2020.
The consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2020 and the comparative
information for the six months ended 30 September 2019 are unaudited.
These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 25 November 2020.
(b) Basis of measurement
The financial statements of the Group are prepared under the historical cost basis unless otherwise noted within the
specific accounting policies below.
(c) Changes in accounting policy
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those
applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 except as outlined below.
The Group has early adopted COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions - Amendments to IFRS 16 issued on 28 May 2020.
The amendment introduces an optional practical expedient for leases in which the Group is a lessee - i.e. for leases to
which the Group applies the practical expedient, the Group is not required to assess whether eligible rent concessions that
are a direct consequence of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic are lease modifications. The Group has applied the
amendment retrospectively. The amendment has no impact on retained earnings as at 1 April 2020.
The Group negotiated rent concessions with its landlords for the majority of its property leases as a result of the severe
impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic during the period. The Group applied the practical expedient for COVID-19 related rent
concessions consistently to eligible rent concessions relating to its property leases.
The amount credited to the consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income for the reporting period to reflect
changes in lease payments arising from rent concessions to which the Group has applied the practical expedient for
COVID-19 related rent concessions is $1.0m (2019: nil)
(d) Comparatives
Where appropriate, comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

2 Basis of preparation of financial statements(continued)
(e) Significant estimates and judgments
In authorising the consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2020, the Directors
have ensured that the specific accounting policies necessary for the proper understanding of the financial statements have
been disclosed, and that all accounting policies adopted are appropriate for the Group’s circumstances and have been
consistently applied throughout the period for all Group entities for the purposes of preparing the consolidated interim
financial statements.
Inherent in the application of certain accounting policies, judgments and estimates are required. The Directors note that
the actual results may differ from the judgments and estimates made.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of
estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.
