Vital announces Third Quarter Results

Earnings Results29 May 2023VHPReal Estate

Dear Unit Holders
This quarterly update provides an overview of

Vital’s non-core asset sales programme, explains

why we continue to undertake developments,

outlines some recent awards that Vital has

been nominated for, and provides a portfolio

and financial update to 31 March 2023.

Consistent with previous announcements, Vital

is selling ~$200m of non-core assets to fund

Vital’s committed development pipeline.

To date:

1. One Australian asset (Eden Private

Hospital) has been sold for NZ$30.5m

with settlement due pre 30 June

2023. The sale price was in line with

the 31 December 2022 book value

(before currency movements).

2. Strong interest has been received from a

range of institutional and high net wealth

investors across the second tranche of

properties marketed for sale. Exclusive

dealings have been entered into over

properties with a current book value

of ~NZ$125m that remain subject to

customary due diligence and final terms.

Why are developments important for Vital?

Vital is selling non-core assets (refer to

previous section) to reinvest the capital into

Vital’s committed development pipeline.

This strategy is expected to result in:

1. Earnings and capital growth

for Vital’s Unit Holders.

2. Newer buildings which accord with

the latest and emerging trends in

healthcare and which have lower

operating and maintenance costs.

3. Enhanced tenant covenants.

4. Greener, more sustainable

and resilient assets.

5. Increased exposure to core and

emerging healthcare precincts.

6. Improved diversity of assets by

geography, tenant mix and sub-sector.

The combined effect of the above is expected

to enhance Vital’s portfolio and increase total

returns for Vital’s Unit Holders particularly

through reducing risks to future cashflows.

To illustrate the importance of new

developments to upfront returns, the aggregate

financial benefit of the 15 development

projects which Vital has completed over the

last three years is listed below. Long term

returns are expected to be even greater than

those shown below reflecting the benefits

noted above which typically translate

into higher rents, less vacancy and / or

lower maintenance capital expenditure.

Work is underway for Vital’s third consecutive GRESB submission building on Vital’s “5-Star”

outcome and second place ranking for listed healthcare real estate globally in 2022.

GRESB is the global ESG benchmark for financial markets. It is used by 170 institutional

investors and more than 2,000 fund managers, companies and asset operators to compare

the performance of property and infrastructure entities with an aggregate investment value of

>US$5.3 trillion.

Vital’s GRESB results, reflecting the 2022 calendar year, are expected to be publicly

available in late 2023 and can be accessed here: www.gresb.com

As a “climate-reporting entity”, Vital is required to disclose against the XRB Aotearoa New

Zealand Climate Standards CS1 prior to October 2024. These standards require entities

to, among other things, detail expected financial impacts posed by different climate change

scenarios over the short, medium and longer term. Work is well underway to prepare for

compliance with these reporting requirements. More details are available here:

www.xrb.govt.nz/standards/climate-related-disclosures/aotearoa-new-zealand-climate-standards

In alignment with Northwest’s 2022 Sustainability Report, Australia and New Zealand are

on a journey to strengthen the relationship with First Nation’s peoples and promote cultural

awareness. To support this, Northwest is developing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).

Whilst a RAP is focused on Australia, the intent is to implement across both Australia and New

Zealand where possible.

Through our reconciliation journey, we are seeking to engage with, learn from and connect in

a meaningful way with First Nations people, as the traditional custodians of the land. We are

committed to manifesting our reconciliation ambitions through the development of our Reflect

RAP and integrating reconciliation practices into our day-to-day business, leveraging our

sphere of influence.

To further public education and awareness of gut disease and prevention, Vital is sponsoring

The Gut Foundation’s key annual event: Gut Feelings – A Healthy Mind Takes Guts! This will

be an interactive event in Auckland to present findings from foundation-funded research

projects and educational initiatives. This event aligns with several of Vital’s core ESG objectives

including health promotion, community engagement and tenant engagement / alignment.

More details will be provided on the Foundation’s website once available www.thegut.org.nz/
