1


• Pharmacy Operating Revenue up 1% and Operating Profit down 25% to $8.7m

• Medical Operating Revenue up 1% and Operating Profit down 21% to $7.3m

Group Commentary

Green Cross Health Group CEO Rachael Newfield, commented, “The first half of the year has been

challenging. The result for the six months to 30 September 2023 reflects the drop-off in higher-

margin COVID-19 activity compared to the prior period, along with the impact of inflationary labour

costs and reduced consumer retail spending. Our teams have worked hard, and are still working

hard, to refine our operating models in Pharmacy and Medical given the mismatch between current

funding levels and labour cost increases.

“Despite the headwinds of the economic backdrop, we have been selectively growing our primary

care national footprint. With the largest pharmacy network in New Zealand, we have seen

dispensary growth of 5.9% (same store initial scripts) and following three medical centre acquisitions

during the period, we now have New Zealand's largest general practice enrolled patient base with

399,000 enrolled patients over 63 medical centres."

Comparative (FY23 H1) of $7.1m excludes profit from discontinued operation of $4.3m.


Pharmacy Division

Revenue in Pharmacy increased 1% to $182m, while Operating Profit for the period decreased 25% to

$8.7 million. This result reflects diminished levels of higher-margin COVID-19 activity, a challenging

retail environment and significantly increased labour costs. Dispensary growth remains strong with

total prescriptions up 3.3% compared to the prior period on a same-store basis, and dispensary

performance starting to see some upside from the removal of the $5 prescription co-payment in July

2023.


Throughout the influenza season, Green Cross Health's pharmacies played a vital role in supporting

their communities. Nearly 300,000 vaccinations were administered across the pharmacy network,

representing an increase of 3.3% on the prior period and accounting for 23% of vaccinations provided

across New Zealand. An integral part of this effort was the 'protect and save' campaign, a Living

Rewards promotion run during the season to reward new and existing members, positioning pharmacies

to further engage with these valuable customers. Total Living Rewards’ members now sit at 1.99m.


Investment in core IT infrastructure also took place during the period with an upgrade of the Finance

ERP system to Microsoft Dynamics 365, and the implementation of a new product information system

which significantly reduces the time for new products to be made available for sale online.


A shortfall in annual funding when coupled with increasing labour costs and workforce shortages is

exerting significant pressure on the viability of some pharmacies. As a result, the Pharmacy portfolio

continues to be optimised, with the closure of two stores in Hastings and Christchurch, and the

consolidation of two stores in Dunedin. Roster reviews have been conducted at all pharmacies, with

a number of initiatives underway to reduce costs and increase operational efficiency, including through

further investment in technology. Green Cross Health remains committed to growth opportunities

including new service offerings and differentiated products; a market-leading skin care brand along

with an exclusive Australia premier weight loss product were both successfully launched during the

period.


Medical Division

Medical Revenue grew 1% to $69m, with Operating Profit down to 21% $7.3m. Performance reflects a

decline in COVID-19 activity and increased labour costs. The portfolio grew during the period, with

three new Medical Centres acquired, one in Auckland and two within the Wellington region. These

acquisitions increase the size of the Medical portfolio to 63 centres. Enrolled patients at 30 September

2023 totalled 399,000, an increase of 54,000 (+16%) since September 2022.


The rollout of enabling technology continued with the latest MedTech Evolution practice management

solution being deployed to a further 25 practices. The recently launched Doctors App saw further

enhancement with the ability added to access virtual consult services through the HouseCall virtual


care offering. These new offerings increase the range of services available to patients, workplaces,

and to the Medical Centre network.


The constraints of the current funding model for primary healthcare in New Zealand present

challenges, particularly given the increased labour costs in the sector. Medical teams have been

restructuring the cost base across centres to help minimise the impact of increased labour costs and

a shortfall in the annual capitation uplift.


Outlook and Dividend

Green Cross Health acknowledges that the challenging economic environment is expected to remain

in the short term. The Company is focused on cost control and leveraging new technologies to

enhance its service offerings as well as expanding product offerings, whilst maximising earnings

through acquisitions and the addition of funding streams.

The Board has declared an interim dividend of 2.5cps for the half-year ending 30 September 2023,

noting that the balance sheet remains strong. Whilst net earnings for 1H24 are down 21% on the prior

comparative period, in part due to higher margin COVID-19 activity in 1H23, earnings for 2H24 are

expected to track more in line with 2H23.

As the new government works through its initial priorities, Green Cross Health will engage with other

primary healthcare providers to advocate for addressing sector funding shortfalls and inequitable

access to healthcare. Following the removal of the $5 prescription co-payment in July 2023, Green

Cross Health encourages the new government to retain these co-payment settings, underscoring the

improvement this has on access to medicines, particularly for those in the community who are most

vulnerable.

10 Subsequent events

On 28 November 2023 Green Cross Health Limited declared an interim dividend of 2.5 cents per qualifying ordinary share

amounting to $3.6m, which will be fully imputed at 28%. The dividend record date is 6 December 2023 and payment will

occur on 20 December 2023.

No adjustment is required to these consolidated interim financial statements in respect of this event.

11 Prior period restatement

As part of the sale of the Community Health division, a review was undertaken to ensure compliance with legislative

requirements. As a result of this review, it was determined that the liability for Employee Entitlements had been

understated. This resulted in a prior period restatement to adjust the provision for Employee Entitlements.

The following tables reconcile the impact on key line items in the Group's statement of financial position from

restatements.
