“Our business continues to operate profitably in the aged care sector. Essential to this
result is the commitment of our people who continue to deliver exceptional care to our
residents and the resilience of the Radius operating model. Together this has enabled
Radius to deliver a record underlying EBITDA and maintain its market leading position in
the aged care sector” said Andrew Peskett, Radius Care’s CEO.
People
Radius Care’s aim is to be the leader in care. To achieve this, FY23 has seen a huge effort
in direct recruitment of nurses and health-care staff internationally to allow Radius Care
to fully staff our care homes with quality candidates and improve our staff wellbeing. We
have achieved this at a time when there is a New Zealand-wide shortage of nurses.
“FY23 was extremely challenging with ongoing COVID-19 impacts and extreme weather
events and I want to again personally thank our Exceptional People for their resilience
and commitment to offer the very best of care every day to our residents. More recently,
we have been successful in recruiting a large number of internationally qualified nurses
to help to fill our vacancies which will support our existing teams and place us in a strong
position moving forward” said Mr Peskett.
Leveraging the success of its recruitment programme has allowed Radius to establish a
nursing bureau which will provide greater flexibility for its people and reduce the cost of
external bureau providers. Radius Care has also been successful in using innovation to
support its people introducing virtual nurses to our offering enabling experienced nurses
to assist in remote care and alleviate staffing pressures.

Underlying EBITDA and AFFO are non-GAAP (unaudited) financial measures. A reconciliation is
included within the Investor Presentation.
In FY23 Radius Care rewarded its highly valued employees who have been with Radius
Care for over ten years and awarded 57 employees an issue of shares valued at $1,000
each to recognise their support and commitment.
Business performance
On the property side of the business, Radius Care has aimed to acquire facilities it leases,
acquire value accretive aged care facilities from third parties, develop new facilities and
expand its existing facilities. In FY23 Radius Care was able to demonstrate its ability to
execute on this strategy and deliver growth across its main strategic pillars.
Radius Care has now undertaken four large property transactions in the past two years
acquiring the land and buildings of eight of its leased facilities and two acquisitions of
integrated care facilities and retirement villages. Ownership of key facilities is important
to maximise value and drive value-enhancing development opportunities.
Radius Care’s portfolio has grown to 24 facilities of which 13 are owned and 11 leased.
There were 1,889 available beds as at 31 March 2023, an increase of 105 during the year.
Occupancy levels have remained strong and significantly above industry averages.
Radius Care’s development bank is now 76 care beds and 311 units or care suites at the
end of the period.
“We have been delighted with the performance of Matamata Country Lodge since it was
acquired in September 2022. Radius has been able to significantly improve its returns
within six months of acquisition and it has already delivered a valuation uplift of $4.3m.
We were also extremely pleased to successfully complete a 24-bed extension at our
Thornleigh Park care facility in New Plymouth in February 2023 on budget elevating the
care home to a best-in-class facility” said Mr Brien Cree, Radius Care’s Executive Chair.
The remaining building programme timing will be subject to review given the need to
ensure suitable debt levels and a strong capital structure heading into FY24.
Financial performance
Revenue increased 10% on the prior period to $146.3m excluding other income.
Radius Care’s key financial performance measure, underlying EBITDA was $14.2m
compared to $10.7m achieved for the comparative period. In part this was driven by
direct private revenue paid by residents for non-government funded services and
accommodation supplement income increasing to $7.9m, up 17% from $6.8m in the prior
comparable period. Over 68% of our rooms now attract premium income.
Underlying EBITDAR per bed was $19.9k in FY23 in line with FY22 and remains market
leading relative to key listed peers and industry averages. This key performance metric
demonstrates Radius Care’s ongoing ability to deliver profitable performance in the
sector.
AFFO of $4.0m was generated compared with $4.2m in the comparative period as higher
underlying income was offset by higher interest costs.
On 31 March 2023 Radius Care confirmed a continuation of the $23 million bridge
facilities (put in place on 6 May 2022) to 6 October 2023. A new event of review requires
the company to have received equity commitments of not less than $30m by 31 July 2023
and to have completed an equity raise and apply at least $25m to repay the current ASB
facilities by 6 October 2023. As noted below the company is currently assessing portfolio
optimisation options as alternatives or additions to an equity raise.
On 3 May 2023 Radius Care agreed to repay $1m of the vendor loan relating to the
September 2022 acquisition of the Matamata Country Lodge business. The company also
agreed to a step up in interest rate on the loan from 8% per annum to 18% per annum
(6% capitalised) and to extend the time for repayment of the remaining $10.5m loan until
23 October 2023.
On 15 May 2023 the trustee of the Providence Trust, a related party of director Brien
Cree, agreed to lend the group subsidiaries that own the Matamata Country Lodge
business $1m at 18% per annum also repayable on 23 October 2023.
Dividend
In FY23 Radius Care paid a gross interim dividend of 0.7c per share totalling $1.4m. Radius
Care will not pay a final dividend in respect of the FY23 financial year.
Summary
“Radius has been through a period of significant growth in the past two years as it has
provided several proof points in the execution of its strategy. With the current economic
and care home funding environments remaining challenging, Radius Care is focusing on
the recently commenced business improvement programme including streamlining
operations and portfolio optimisation. The fundamental industry drivers of increased
demand for high acuity and specialist care services places Radius Care in a strong position
to continue to drive market leading returns as it has demonstrated in FY23.” said Mr
Peskett.

Radius Care has a strong track record of undertaking
opportunistic value accretive acquisitions.
The acquisition of Matamata Country Lodge has provided an
opportunity to realise cost efficiencies in the Care Facility, such as
the reduction in wage to revenue costs through more efficient
rostering.
Scale efficiencies have also been realised with the ability of being
able to incorporate corporate functions such as IT, marketing and
finance and corporate contracts such as food services.
$4.2m of company-owned ORA units are currently being actively
marketed for sale or have contracts on them which is likely to
deliver strong cash generation in FY24.
Matamata Country Lodge has increased in value since
acquisition by $4.3m.

=== IR PAGE TRANSCRIPT: FY23 Annual Results – call transcript ===
RADIUS RESIDENTIAL CARE LIMITED
FY23 RESULTS BRIEFING
Call host: Thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Radius Residential Care FY '23 Annual Results
Call. All participants are in a listen-only mode. There will be a presentation, followed by a
question and answer session. If you wish to ask a question, you'll need to press the star key,
followed by the number one on your telephone keypad. I would now like to hand the
conference over to Mr. Andrew Peskett, Chief Executive. Please go ahead.
Andrew Peskett: Thank you, Harmony, and good morning, all. Thank you for joining this call to discuss our
results for the year to 31 March, 2023. As Harmony said, I will lead the discussion starting
with some highlights of the period, then hand over to Wendy Jenkins, our Chief Financial
Officer, who will talk in detail to the numbers. And then I will pick up with strategy execution
and some statements on our outlook. Following that, we'll open the call to questions.
Slide 5 So in terms of the slide deck that was posted this morning at 8:30, I turn to slide five,
Business Highlights and Key Events. And we'll do slide by slide. So I'll just let you know when
we are changing slides. And I'd like to highlight in this slide the excellent outcomes in the
year, in particular executing our stated strategy, 93% occupancy at period end, which is
some 7% above our competitors in the industry. And very importantly, filling our registered
nurse pipeline, and having a recent surplus of registered nurses, which we'll talk to later in
this slide deck. We've also maintained our industry-leading profit per bed at $19,900, and
again, we'll talk to that metric later.
Slide 6 Turning to slide six, financial highlights. You could see we have had significant increases to
our key metric of underlying EBITDA, which is 32% up on prior comparable period, being
FY22. And then accommodation supplements again are 17% up, now also known as PACs or
premium charges. We have had, and we've talked in the past about the significant focus on
this aspect of the business, which we've delivered a $1.2 million uplift in the year, as
previously promised. And we are very pleased with that result. And also on the right-hand
side there, just to note on balance sheet, we have increased our total assets by around
about $66.5 million. And the going concern valuation indicates potentially another $9 million
uplift in future periods.
Slide 7 My final slide before I hand over to Wendy is a very important slide, our people. I'd just like
to say thank you to our nearly 1800 exceptional people that do incredible work every day in
providing exceptional care to our residents. Thank you all.
As set out on the slide, I'd like to particularly call out the recruitment of registered nurses
and virtual nurses, and the great work undertaken by the people team, as led by Trish Evers
in this respect. Thanks, Trish. And the surplus of registered nurses that we've had of late to
help to fill internal vacancies and potentially some external demand under the R-Connect
nursing bureau is an excellent innovation, again led by our general manager Shereen Singh.
So thank you, Shereen, for leading this work stream.
Also, as you know, we've had some pretty difficult times with COVID and some, I was going
to say once-in-a-lifetime, but not really once-in-a-lifetime storms earlier in the year. They
seem to be more common. And yet our people have continued to show courage,
commitment, and compassion. So thank you for that during some exceptionally difficult
times during the year. And we've managed to, despite this, increase our eNPS or our net
promoter score of employees period-on-period, which was pleasing. So again, thank you to
you all. I'll pass you now on to Wendy to continue with a more in-depth look at the
financials, and join you all later on the call.
Wendy Jenkins: Thank you, Andrew, and kia ora. I'm very pleased to be here today presenting the FY '23
results for Radius Care.
Slide 9 Turning to slide nine, as Andrew's mentioned, it has been a very strong year for Radius with
total revenue, excluding other income, up 10%, and underlying EBITDA up 32% to a record
$14.2 million for the company. What is even more pleasing is that we've been able to deliver
these results in challenging market conditions, with COVID impacting on our operations
significantly in the first half of the year, which combined with shortages of nursing staff,
impacted occupancy at some facilities. And then this was followed by the extreme weather
events early in 2023. Underpinning our revenue and profit growth was a benefit of new
acquisitions, improving both our care and village income, and a significant improvement, as
Andrew mentioned, in accommodation supplements up 17%, with over 68% of our rooms
now attracting premium income.
Slide 10 Turning to slide 10, our occupancy finished strongly, ending the period at 93.3%, following a
positive trend upwards in the last quarter. What is also very pleasing when looking at this
chart is that Radius is still maintaining a substantially higher occupancy than the industry
average, continuing and indeed improving on a long-term trend.
Slide 11 Turning to slide 11, this slide highlights one of the key reasons why Radius is able to maintain
occupancy well above industry averages. This is in large part due to the fact that we have a
higher proportion of beds certified for high acuity and specialist care at 87% of our portfolio,
compared with an average of 58% in the industry. What we're finding is that increasingly,
customers coming into care are older, as the trend of ageing in place at home grows, and
therefore have different and specialist needs. We expect the need for rest home-level care
to reduce over time as this trend continues. So being able to provide higher levels of acuity
sets us apart from other aged care providers.
Slide 12 Turning now to slide 12, where we have a lovely picture of one of our residents and two of
our care workers at Arran Court. One of our key metrics of performance is underlying
EBITDA per care bed, which continues to perform well during the period remaining in line
with FY22. A large part of the reason for this is our drive to improve premium charging,
which is somewhat necessary, given that government funding is not keeping up with the
higher costs of our critical care workers and other expenses. This metric remains industry-
leading relative to our key listed peers and industry averages, and continues to be a core
focus area for growth in the future through revenue enhancement and cost optimization.
A recent example of where we've been able to deliver this is with the Matamata Country
Lodge acquisition, where within six months, we've been able to optimise operations and
turn around what was a loss-making facility into a profitable addition to the Radius portfolio.
Slide 13 Turning now to slide 13, Radius has delivered AFFO of $4 million, which also demonstrates
our ability to deliver profitability in H-care. We've paid out $1.4 million in dividends in FY23
but will not be paying a final dividend. I'll now hand back to Andrew to close out the
presentation.
Andrew Peskett: Thank you, Wendy.
Slide 15 Turning now to slide 15, strategy update. There's a lot on this slide. I'd just like to talk to a
couple of points. It indicates that since listing in December, 2020, the company has
continued to execute its stated strategy, primarily by way of acquisitions of eight former
leasehold sites that we now own the freehold in those care homes. And two great one-off
value-accretive acquisitions of care homes and villages, being Clare House and Matamata
Country Lodge, which we'll talk to and Wendy mentioned before, which we've integrated
well into the portfolio and have had improved performance since we've owned them.
Also, in terms of brownfield and greenfield developments, we have in the pipeline 190
brownfield units and a large development site in northern Christchurch, which is being
prepared for an exciting development next calendar year.
Slide 16 Now slide 16, Matamata Country Lodge. Lovely photo there on the right-hand side. I was
down at Matamata last week, meeting the residents for a belated Mother's Day morning
tea, staff and prospective residents. And it really is a wonderful village and care home. The
key call-outs, as mentioned by Wendy, we have turned around the performance following
the acquisition in terms of the care home. And recently we have seen a big uptick in interest
in the resale units, following a targeted campaign to sell down some of that resale stock,
which is very pleasing. And finally, as mentioned in this slide, we have an over $4 million
valuation uplift in the last eight months since acquisition of this asset to $23 million.
Turning now to Thornleigh Park. As you can see there, we had a wonderful opening of
Thornleigh Park last month, attended by Brien, myself, and several members of the team.
And you can see bottom right, Joyce, our first resident enjoying the ceremony. And it was
wonderful to see so many people there and some vibrancy in the new wing, which we are
looking to fill as quickly as possible. And once completed, this will be an extraordinarily
impressive facility in New Plymouth, and one of our two facilities in New Plymouth, proving
our development capability.
Slide 18 Then moving to slide 18, on the left-hand side, as you can see, we have around 2000 units or
beds currently, and this will increase with the current pipeline of around 290 beds. And as
you can see on the right-hand side, we'll be more varied. We'll have care suites and
retirement village units, which will result in a more diversified portfolio and will increase the
breadth of offering to our customers, which is critical in this time to have full continuum of
care and different options in care, both in terms of care suites and accommodation
supplements.
Slide 19 The final slide is our outlook slide, and I'd just like to point out here that effectively in FY24,
we are hitting the ground running with some pretty significant commercial intensity, and this
means we will be continuing to execute our business improvement programme that we've
commenced in recent months, and streamlining and optimising our operations and the
portfolio critical programme. And this gives us the right to then continue to develop where
appropriate in FY24 and beyond.
We're very excited to drive these improvements to ensure that we maintain our position as
the industry leader in care, as we talked about earlier. And final word before I hand you back
to Harmony is that this is all possible, as I said earlier, due to the exceptional care delivered
by people such as Marina in this slide who is a home care assistant at Arran Court, who's
been working for us for eight and a half years. So thank you, Marina, and all the wonderful
people that make this business so fantastic, and mean that we can deliver the results that
we've just spoken to. Thank you, all. That closes the formal presentation summary. I'll hand
you back to our call host to open the call for questions.
Call host: Thank you. If you wish to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone and wait
for your name to be announced. If you wish to cancel your request, please press star two. If
you're on a speakerphone, please pick up the handset to ask your question. Your first
question comes from Arie Dekker from Jarden. Please go ahead.
Arie Dekker: Oh, good morning. Yeah, first question, just with what the government has, well, Te Whatu
Ora has delivered to date, and I know the industry's been disappointed with it, and also
taking into account the cost inflation you guys are dealing with, what do you see the
prospects in this next financial year for growth in your underlying EBITDA to date?
Andrew Peskett: Thanks, Arie. Look, just to comment on the government, obviously, we do and have been
lobbying very hard through the Aged Care Association and Aged Care Matters to ensure that
the funding round at 1 July is as significant as possible. I think it's a critical point. We, like
others and you've noted the underfunding in the past, have noted that and lobbied very
hard this year. So we'll get to see what that will result in. And we are not going to give
forward guidance on underlying EBITDA, and maybe we can take that offline in terms of
performance. But as we talk to in the outlook, we are very focused on our business
improvement programme and streamlining operations to drive improved performance.
Arie Dekker: And do you think those initiatives can counter the cost inflation you're experiencing?
Andrew Peskett: That's certainly the plan.
Arie Dekker: Great. Just on liquidity, I mean, I think the overdraft's just under $3 million, and your
borrowings are at $97 and a bit, $11.5 of which is vendor financing in a small related party
loan. So $86 million of bank borrowings. Where's the facility limit at balance date?
Wendy Jenkins: Hi, Arie. We're pretty close to our facility limit at balance date at the moment there. We've
got about a couple of millions of headroom sitting in there at the moment.
Arie Dekker: And then just in terms of getting through to the 31 July requirement to have raised equity,
what level of bank funding support have you got? Is the $2 million headroom sufficient to
get through to them?
Wendy Jenkins: It's sufficient for us in the short term, while we work through the portfolio optimization
activities that we're looking at at the moment.
Arie Dekker: Yeah, so just on that, in terms of managing the balance sheet and that, are you suggesting
that there's divestment activity, you are looking at, I think, the held for sale at balance date's
just under $1 million. Can you just expand on what that is in relation to, and if that portfolio
optimization includes any divestment plans?
Andrew Peskett: Yeah, thanks, Arie. Obviously, we've disclosed that by October, we need to have returned
some capital to the bank. And we're looking at all options in terms of yes, potential
divestments and other options.
Arie Dekker: Great. And then just last question, just the Belfast site acquisition, can you just give an
update of where that's at, just a reminder on where the conditions are, and when you think
you need to settle by?
Andrew Peskett: Yeah, sure. So latest is that we are looking to settle, and then potentially future develop
beyond calendar year next year. So middle of next year. That's been delayed by some
relatively minor, but time-consuming boundary issues from the vendor. Not significant, but
probably given the current development climate and real estate market, we are not terribly
unhappy about that. And as said it’s a great project with some great land, close to the village
there, close to the new Countdown and all the facilities and amenities and infrastructure.
We are very excited about it. And probably quite good timing with other developments
around, including Ryman at Northwood.
Arie Dekker: Great, thank you.
Andrew Peskett: Pleasure.
Call host: Thank you. Your next question comes from Tim O’Loan from Nikko Asset Management.
Please go ahead.
Tim: Hi. Morning, Andrew and Wendy. Actually, Arie's just asked my questions on debt and
balance sheets, so that's all good at the moment. Thank you.
Andrew Peskett: Thanks, Tim.
Call host: Thank you. Once again, if you wish to ask a question, please press star one on your
telephone. We'll pause a moment for any further questions to register. Thank you. There are
no further questions at this time. I'll now hand back to Mr. Peskett for closing remarks.
Andrew Peskett: Thanks, Harmony, and thank you again, all, for joining the call. Happy to take calls anytime
during the day, and enjoy the rest of your day and week. Thank you.
Call host: That does conclude our conference for today. Thank you for participating. You may now
disconnect.
