Third Age Health Half Year Results
NZX Announcement
28 November 2022
Primary care provider, Third Age Health Services (NZX: TAH), has today reported its unaudited results
for the six months to 30 September 2022 (1H23).
During the first half of the financial year, we were pleased to have been able to successfully execute
on a growth strategy, while at the same time ensuring that our underlying work within the aged care
sector has increased. The growth strategy has, however, come at a cost through the direct and
indirect costs of both acquiring and consolidating business units, and this is acutely felt in the first half
of this year.
Financial summary
Our core business of providing primary medical services into Aged Residential Care (ARC) settings
saw strong organic growth with enrolled patients of 3,414, up 6.7% against the number of patients
during the prior comparative period (pcp) as at 30 September 2021, and up 3.0% compared with the
number of aged residential care patients enrolled with us at 31 March 2022. This increase drove
organic revenue growth for the period of 16.7% on pcp to $2.8 million.
We have focussed on strengthening key relationships with our current and potential aged residential
care customers and as a result we now have a large backlog of demand for our services. The future
rate of growth is dependent on our ability to improve productivity and utilisation, and to recruit
additional clinical practitioners.
General practices which we owned during the first half of the last financial year (1H22) experienced
strong organic growth during the first half of this financial year (1H23) with enrolled patients at 30
September 2022 of 3,425 up 14.2% on pcp, and 7.2% compared to 31 March 2022. General practice
revenue in total of $1.8 million is up 304.3% on pcp and 137.0% against the 6-month period ended
31 March 2022. Organic revenue growth was 23.5% on pcp, with the remainder contributed by
practices that were acquired. During 1H23 we completed the acquisition of an additional general
practice in Auckland and partnered to commence a new green fields general practice in
Christchurch.
While it has been pleasing to see the work of the team reflected in increased revenue as well as the
improvements made to our systems and processes, it is a disappointment to not yet see these
improvements reflected in net earnings. During this half our net earnings after tax decreased 51.8%
on pcp to $0.3 million.
NZX Announcement
There were three key factors which lead to this decrease:
First, we needed to front load resources to bolster capabilities and infrastructure that was not
previously in place but was needed to protect existing business and provide a platform from which
to grow sustainably and profitably.
Second, the integration of the practices acquired this year was slower than planned which
contributed to lower earnings. In addition, there were one off legal and acquisition related costs
incurred of $50k.
The third factor is that reported net earnings were impacted by an increase in the amount of non-
cash amortisation charges arising as a result of purchase accounting rules. Amortisation charges are
taken to reflect the decrease in value of intangible assets recognised when new businesses are
acquired. While appropriate in some cases, the concept of recognising these charges against
intangibles such as patient relationships and funding agreements does not, in our opinion reflect
economic reality. This amounted to a reduction in NPAT of a further $60K.
Shown below is Net Profit after tax adjusted for Amortisation (NPATA) which we believe better
reflects underlying earnings.

Challenging environment
Aged care is undergoing a challenging period over the short to medium term. The well-
acknowledged health workforce crisis, which has been compounded by the slow border
openings and immigration settings, combined with lower than needed funding outcomes for
aged care providers, continues to impact the sector. We are acutely aware that the nursing
workforce shortage has impacted some aged care clients, with several having to reduce bed
numbers. In some instances, this has had a flow on impact for us with a slowing of patient
enrolments from some facilities who are not able to operate at full capacity. While this
causes some issues in respect to contract rates and medium-term patient numbers, it does
need to be noted that all aged care providers must have a General Practitioner or Nurse
Practitioner available to their residents.
NZX Announcement
The workforce crisis also extends to clinicians, and the shortage of clinicians has impacted our
ability to grow in some regions where we have a backlog of demand.
Additionally, although we believe the business retains its longer-term pricing power it is not
completely immune to the effects of high inflation in the near term.
Despite these short to medium term sector challenges, the longer-term outlook for the
business remains positive as an aging population will continue to drive increased demand for
quality primary care medical services. Our business is well positioned to capture additional
market share due in part to the very strong relationships with existing clients, who
themselves have significant growth plans. In addition, we are forging new client relationships
in the sector.
Our people
Delivery of front-line clinical care during the pandemic has not been easy and our team
adapted well to the many challenges. We are grateful to have a high performing team with
many long-standing practitioners who are dedicated to providing the best clinical care.
Our people are our greatest asset, and we are working to equip them with the tools to
systematically focus on continuous improvement, customer satisfaction and profitable
growth.
Performance improvement
While we have outlined a number of factors that have influenced the results for this half
year, we do need to also state that we are not satisfied with the level of net earnings
achieved and are expending every effort to see them returned to a proper level.
A focus on operational efficiencies in our newly acquired general practices is showing
promising early results. Additionally, a plan to rebalance resources across the group will
deliver a reduction in annualised costs of at least $150k p.a. from January 2023.
We have several new clinicians starting in the second half of this financial year which will
enable us to increase patient numbers in general practice and share these resources to fill
unmet need with our aged care clients. Following further success in recruitment of clinicians
we will be able to meet the strong pipeline of new business which is expected to deliver
profitable growth.
We expect to achieve improved profit margins and net earnings in the second half of this
financial year with both expected to be well ahead of those achieved in the first half.
We do not measure success by the overall size of your company, or the total reported profit.
Our goal over the long term is to maximise both returns on capital and the average annual
rate of increase in intrinsic value per share.
NZX Announcement
EastMed Doctors
The business acquired a majority share in EastMed Doctors, a key acquisition in St Heliers
Auckland, which was settled after period end on 3 October 2022, and early results are in line
with expectations.
EastMed Doctors is ideally located next to Ryman’s premium Grace Joel Retirement Village
and in easy reach of eight aged care facilities, representing opportunity for growth.
CFO transition
The Board is pleased to announce that Denice Bennett has been appointed as the new Chief Financial
Officer (CFO) and joins the company in January 2023. Neil Hopkins, who joined the business as Acting
CFO in mid-2021 has indicated he plans to reduce his work commitments next year. The Board and
management wish to thank Neil for his contribution in guiding and supporting the business following
NZX listing and through our period of growth over the past twelve months.

and Bevan Walsh, both major shareholders of the Company. As such the loan is considered a related party loan
