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

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.

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.
