Half Year Result Announcement for the unaudited six months ending 30 September 2021



GREEN CROSS HEALTH REPORTS STRONG HALF YEAR PROFIT OF $9.7M

26 November 2021, 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 $310m in the six months to 30 September 2021, up 12% on the prior period. Net Profit

After Tax Attributable to Shareholders of $9.7m represents a 9% increase on the prior period. The

Group has supported New Zealand communities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, continuing to

provide its essential services, ramping up swabbing efforts over the COVID-19 surge period from August

2021 and rolling out vaccinations at both pharmacies and medical centres.

Result Summary:

 Revenue of $310m, up 12%

 Operating Profit (EBIT) of $20.5m, up 14%

 Net Profit After Tax Attributable to Shareholders of $9.7m, up 9%

 Pharmacy Revenue up 11% and Operating Profit up 9% to $13.3m

 Medical Revenue up 12% and Operating Profit up 13% to $5.7m

 Community Health Revenue up 14% and Operating Profit up 38% to $2.5m

 Group net cash position of $5.9m

 Dividend declared of 3.0 cps for the half year ended 30 September 2021.

Green Cross Health Group CEO Rachael Newfield, says, “The performance for the six months to 30

September 2021 reflects an increase in activity across all three divisions. Our COVID-19 response

efforts have been a huge focus for our business, and our front-line workers have been pivotal in

helping to ensure the country can cope with the strain that COVID-19 places on the healthcare system.

As an essential service, our pharmacies and medical centres have remained open to support

communities, despite a drop in demand associated with lockdown periods, particularly in Auckland.

We have also continued to provide essential homecare services to New Zealand’s most vulnerable, via

our Community Health operations. As one of the leading providers of primary healthcare in New

Zealand, we’ve been able to ramp up our swabbing efforts to meet the COVID-19 delta surge that

arose from August 2021 and move quickly into providing COVID-19 vaccinations to substantially support

the Government’s 90% vaccination target.


“Earlier in the year, the quality of Green Cross Health’s primary healthcare services was

acknowledged at the New Zealand Primary Healthcare awards, with all three Green Cross Health

divisions winning first place awards. These included team members winning the pharmacist of the



2


year and the pharmacy technician of the year awards, one of our medical centres winning an award

for its recent extensive refurbishment and winning an excellence in information technology award for

our support worker app developed in-house in our Community Health division.

“In addition, we are pleased to have progressed our strategy of acquisitive growth, adding two

pharmacies and four medical centres, increasing our shareholding in two pharmacies and one medical

centre, plus investing in an online digital health company.

“During the period, we promoted Alison Van Wyk into the newly created role of Chief Operating

Officer. This appointment follows the addition of Wayne Woolrich, who joined as General Manager of

the Medical division. Alison’s extensive primary healthcare experience, and Wayne’s experience

leading Health Hawke’s Bay, adds further depth and expertise to the Green Cross Health management

team.”


Unichem & Life Pharmacy Division

Pharmacy Revenue for the period saw an increase of 11% to $170m. Operating Profit for the period

was up 9% to $13.3m, with growth driven by a higher dispensary gross profit and earnings from COVID-

19 vaccinations. Retail sales were flat year-on-year, with the impact of lockdowns, particularly in

Auckland, softening retail sales in the six months to 30 September 2021. Auckland retail sales typically

represent 37% of total retail sales.

Pharmacies have scaled up their vaccination capability to support the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine

and to help increase the vaccine uptake within New Zealand’s communities. The Green Cross Health

Pharmacy network is providing a significant number of New Zealand’s COVID-19 vaccinations in

pharmacies, workplaces, homes and through co-ordinating joint programmes together with the

District Health Boards to reach NZ’s most vulnerable communities. The network is also poised to

support the Government’s ongoing COVID-19 vaccine response for younger age groups and to support

booster vaccinations.

Despite a lessening of retail restrictions post period end, retail sales performance is expected to

continue to experience a headwind in the second half of the financial year due to the lockdown

impacts and reduced demand for certain items. Pricing and margin management is being reviewed

carefully, with exclusive distribution arrangements and strategic brand relationships being sought.

The ongoing optimisation of our pharmacy investment portfolio remains a priority. In the period, the

company acquired two partner pharmacies in Whakatane and increased its shareholding in Walls and

Roche and Whanganui pharmacies. Acquisitions include PillDrop, an online health technology company

that sorts and delivers prescription medicine and provides care, advice and support to customers. The



3


PillDrop investment ensures Green Cross Health stays close to the increased demand for digital

services and the changing needs of customers.

As the pressures on the health sector increase, additional innovative professional services have been

scaled up within the company’s network that enhance the role of the pharmacist and promote easier

access to healthcare. While the Government continues to refine its design for New Zealand’s Health

& Disability sector with a focus on equity of access, a review of the prescription co-payment policy is

warranted to ensure alignment with equity of healthcare access for all.

The Doctors Medical Division

Medical Revenue grew 12% to $46m, with Operating Profit up 13% to $5.7m. Performance was

supported by the impact of acquisitions prior to 31 March 2021, as well the acquisition of Muritai

Health Centre in Wellington and an increase in shareholding in The Doctors Napier. After period end,

on 1 October 2021, the acquisitions of three further centres were completed: The Doctors Wakatipu

(Frankton and Shotover centres) and Apollo Medical Centre in Auckland. These acquisitions bring the

division to 50 Medical centres, with 317,000 enrolled patients, an increase of 32,000 patients since

31 March 2021.

Operationally, COVID-19 again had a significant impact on acute patient presentations, particularly in

urgent care and walk-in settings and Auckland-based practices. Some medical practices were able to

mitigate this decline by providing COVID-19 swabbing and vaccinations. Medical practices were well-

prepared to provide patient services virtually through this period of operational restrictions, including

operationalising telehealth solutions

The clinical focus has been to keep staff and patients safe throughout the COVID-19 pandemic,

respond to community outbreaks, provide COVID-19 testing and COVID-19 vaccinations. Medical

centres have been working diligently to ensure routine care is not compromised. Clinical leadership

for the network has been enhanced with the appointment of Dr Stephanie Taylor into the role of

Clinical Director. Recruitment of clinical staff has been a priority, with the development of an internal

recruitment service to source talent from New Zealand and overseas.

Whilst managing the COVID-19 operating environment is ongoing, the underlying strategy remains to

grow earnings both organically and via further acquisitions, reduce the operational cost per patient

and to provide high-quality equitable services for patients and communities across New Zealand.





4


Access and Total Care Health Community Health Division

Revenue in the Community Health division for the period increased by 14% to $94m with Operating

Profit up 38% to $2.5m. The division’s strategy is to support clients in the community with higher

clinical and complex support needs, improve service delivery, tight cost management and utilise IT

systems to enhance workforce efficiency and client outcomes.

A slender operating margin of 2.6% highlights the pressure on financial sustainability of the community

health sector, with challenging funding arrangements, labour cost increases and the costs associated

with workforce shortages in the sector.

Again, our COVID-19 pandemic response shows the value of the Home & Community support sector in

reducing the pressure on an already stretched healthcare system. Support from all funders is called

for to return the sector to a position of financial sustainability and to recognise the value of supporting

vulnerable populations so they may live within their communities for longer. Green Cross Health also

advocate strongly with funders for pay parity for all nurses, in line with the recent Government

funding uplift for all DHB nurses.

Outlook and Dividend

Green Cross Health has delivered a positive first half performance, reflecting both increased activity

across all divisions and ongoing investment in acquisitions, including $7.2m of acquisition investment

during the six-month period.

The Company performs a key role in supporting New Zealand’s COVID-19 response, with 161

pharmacies and 28 medical centres administering COVID-19 vaccinations. Green Cross Health

pharmacies currently represent 52% of all pharmacies vaccinating in New Zealand. The network’s role

will evolve with booster vaccinations and as further age groups become eligible for the vaccination.

The Board has declared an interim dividend of 3.0cps for the half-year ending 30 September 2021,

reflecting the strong half year period and a robust balance sheet that can support both an acceleration

of acquisitions and the payment of dividends.

Green Cross Health Limited
Notes to the financial statements

For the six months ended 30 September 2021

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 2021.

The consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2021 and the comparative

information for the six months ended 30 September 2020 are unaudited.

These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 26 November 2021.

(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 2021 except as outlined below.

The IFRS Interpretations Committee released a decision in March 2021 which clarified how implementation costs incurred

in cloud computing arrangements should be treated and whether they should be expensed as incurred, or capitalised. The

impact of the decision, and subsequent framework has been assessed by the Group and it is not material to this set of

consolidated interim financial statements.

(d) Significant estimates and judgments

In authorising the consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2021, 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.
