Vital announces First Quarter Results

Earnings Results16 November 2021VHPReal Estate

Dear Unitholders,
The first quarter of FY22 has been a successful three months for the Trust with many key

achievements announced during October including:

Continued Deployment of

5-Year Portfolio Strategy

Vital acquired a “Cancer Centre of Excellence”

in Adelaide known as Tennyson Centre for

~A$93m in mid-October 2021.

Tennyson Centre is located between Adelaide’s

Airport and CBD and is ~300m from Ashford

Hospital. Tenants are primarily engaged in the

identification, assessment and treatment of cancer

through oncology, radiotherapy, imaging and

consulting with tenants such as ICON Cancer,

Genesis Care, Sonic and Nexus Day Hospitals.

Also in mid-October, Gold Coast Surgery

Centre was sold for ~A$13m (before costs) ~5%

above its book value. The sale removes an asset

with persistent vacancy from the portfolio.

Vital’s 5-year portfolio strategy seeks to continue to improve the overall portfolio as a means to grow

earnings for Vital’s unitholders. The strategy includes acquisitions, developments and divestments as

well as a number of key targets such as tenant, geographic and sub-sector exposure.

Terms have been agreed to extend

ICON’s lease for 10 years

MARK MIDDLETON, GROUP CEO OF ICON GROUP, SAID:

“As Australia’s largest dedicated cancer

care provider we are very pleased to have

the NorthWest managed Vital Healthcare

Property Trust acquire the Tennyson

Centre and adjacent development land.

In recognition that Tennyson has been

acquired by the leading owner and

manager of healthcare infrastructure in

Australia, we have agreed to extend our

lease for an additional 10 years. We look

forward to this new partnership”.

Playford Health Hub in Adelaide

Vital’s development of Playford Health Hub

in Adelaide has recorded success across all

three stages:

• Stage 1: ~A$22m multi-deck car park and retail

suites is due for completion in mid-Nov 2021.

The project was anchored via a long-term lease

to SA Health for ~50% of the car park with the

retail component now substantially pre-leased.

• Stage 2: ~A$39m Specialist Medical

Centre is ~60% pre-leased and design work

has significantly progressed. Construction

is expected to commence in mid-2022.

• Stage 3: ~A$50m (plus expected capital

contribution from operator in excess of

$25m) for 100+ bed private hospital

advanced discussions underway.

A$315m of new debt facilities were secured

increasing funds available to support the activities

noted previously, diversifying lenders (syndicated

banks increased from two to six) and extending

weighted average debt term from 2.5 years to

3.9 years

2

.

NZ$142.8m of new equity capital was raised primarily

from existing unitholders via a NZ$115m placement

and a NZ$27.8m unit purchase plan with all of Vital’s

unitholders who opted to participate able to do so

at or above pro-rata. The proceeds will support the

developments and acquisitions referred to previously.

COVID-19

Whilst Australia has largely reopened post-COVID

lockdowns, impacts continue for many of Vital’s tenants

and their patients particularly in Auckland (10% of rent)

which remains in a strict lockdown at the time of this

report. Vital has continued to support smaller tenants,

primarily those who occupy ambulatory care facilities

who are unable to recoup lost earnings post lockdown.

Delivering Value

for Unitholders

Balance Sheet

Strengthened Further

Developments are a critical part of

delivering valuation and earnings

growth for unitholders whilst

providing new and upgraded

facilities for our tenants and the

communities we operate in.

Your investment in Vital is an investment in

some of the leading healthcare facilities in

New Zealand and Australia underpinned by

rental income that tracks inflation (~89% of

leases are indexed to CPI in some way).

Aaron Hockly

Fund Manager

17 November 2021

During the quarter, stage one of the redeveloped

Wakefield Hospital in Wellington was officially

opened with the contract for stage two executed

and early works underway. This project includes

additional funding from Vital and Evolution

Healthcare (Wakefield’s operator).

~NZ$74m of new and extended brownfield

developments were approved across five of

Evolution Healthcare’s facilities in New Zealand:

• Grace Hospital, Tauranga which Evolution

operates in a joint venture with Southern Cross.

• Royston Hospital, Hastings.

• Royston Day Surgery Unit, Hastings.

• Wakefield Hospital, Wellington.

• Bowen Hospital, Wellington.

Refer to the updated committed developments table

on the back page of this update for more details.

Fortunately, Vital’s hospital tenants (80% of revenue)

and aged care tenants (7% of revenue) have a high

level of government support and / or have the ability

to make up for lost revenue post-lockdowns ending.

NZD:AUD

The Reserve Banks of New Zealand and Australia are

charting different paths with the former recently increasing

interest rates and the latter looking to keep them on

hold for some time. This has resulted in a relatively high

New Zealand dollar versus the Australian dollar by

historical standards. As ~70% of Vital’s earnings are

in AUD but Vital reports in NZD, a high NZD has a

negative impact on Vital’s reported earnings. We have

allowed for this in our FY22 guidance (refer below).

FY22 guidance

Vital remains on track to achieve FY22 earnings

guidance of at least 11.8 cents per unit (at least

2.0% above FY21) and distribution guidance

of 9.5 cents per unit (7.0% above FY21).

Thank you for your ongoing support for Vital.
