Healthcare property continues to provide underlying income growth

Northwest Healthcare Properties Management Limited (Northwest), as manager of Vital Healthcare

Property Trust (Vital), has today released its results for the six months ended 31 December 2023 (HY24).

Following strong earnings growth in FY23, Vital has continued to deliver solid results in the first half of

FY24, with net property income (NPI) up 4.1% (on a same property, constant currency basis).

Fund Manager, Aaron Hockly, said the encouraging results can be attributed to Vital executing on its

strategy, which was reaffirmed by its Board in December 2023.

“Our commitment to enhancing Vital’s portfolio has seen us continue our non-core asset divestment

programme. Over NZ$220m has now been realised and initially applied to debt repayment. Ultimately

these proceeds will be reinvested to fund Vital’s development pipeline, improving the quality, resilience and

cash returns of the portfolio as Vital focuses on core and emerging healthcare precincts. With the majority

of annual rent increases linked to CPI, weighted to the second half of FY24, Vital continues to generate

strong and sustainable income growth to mitigate some of the impact of higher interest rates,” said Hockly.

Vital’s market-leading portfolio of high-quality, healthcare assets across Australia and New Zealand is now

valued at NZ$3.2 billion with ~98.2% occupancy and a weighted average lease term (WALE) of 19.2

years to leading healthcare operators in each country. Vital is also an acknowledged sector leader in ESG.

“While our AFFO per unit growth was below our target over HY24, we remain committed to achieving 2%-

3% per unit growth in AFFO and distributions per annum over the medium term. We have several strategies

to return to growth in future periods. Our recent increase in interest rate hedging to 78% at 31 December

2023, in particular, is expected to reduce the impact of movements in interest rates.

“Vital’s committed and potential development pipeline coupled with the existing strong demand for

healthcare property and tailwinds from population growth and an ageing population, will support our

return to growth in AFFO per unit,” continued Hockly.

HY24 highlights include:

1. Vital was acknowledged as a Sector Leader (the highest possible achievement) by GRESB for ESG

in healthcare for listed entities globally across performance, management, and developments.

2. A 4.1% increase in NPI on a same-property, constant currency basis primarily reflecting the impact

of development income and rent reviews. After allowing for the impact of divestments, NPI reduces

to a still healthy 1.8% increase.

3. NZ$164m

1

of non-core assets were sold during HY24 taking the total calendar year non-core

asset sales to NZ$222.1m with a further ~NZ$92m in due diligence for sale. Sales have been

executed at a ~8% discount to book values highlighting both the accuracy of these valuations and

the demand for healthcare assets. Proceeds have been used to repay debt and will ultimately fund

Vital’s development pipeline, materially improving the resilience of Vital’s property portfolio. Over

the five years to 31 December 2023, Vital has divested NZ$339m of non-core assets.

4. Distributions were maintained at 4.875 cpu from the prior corresponding period whilst also

maintaining a conservative payout ratio of <90%. FY24 distribution guidance remains at least

9.75 cents per unit. The distribution reinvestment plan remains active with ~20% of Unit Holders

participating. However, the 1% discount has been removed for future distributions.

5. Seven percent of Vital’s total property portfolio (by net lettable area) was leased or renewed during

HY24, helping to maintain Vital’s long WALE of 19.2 years and 98.2% occupancy.

6. Nine developments are currently underway with NZ$212.7m spend remaining of which

~NZ$170m is expected to be spent over the next 12 months. These developments include

Wakefield Hospital in Wellington and Ormiston Hospital in Auckland, which are nearing

completion reducing the capital required in future periods. With these developments nearing

completion, increasing consideration is being given to Vital’s future development pipeline. A

number of potential developments across Australia and New Zealand have been made “shovel-

ready” (typically design and resource consent), enabling quick conversion to a committed

development when market conditions are supportive and appropriate tenant pre-commitments are

in place.

7. At 31 December 2023, Vital had balance sheet gearing of 38.3% with no debt expiring until March

2025 and A$166m of debt headroom to fund Vital’s development pipeline. This is above the

~NZ$170m expected to be spent over the next 12 months on developments as noted above.

Additional development funding is expected to come from non-core asset sales, capital partnering

and / or other strategic initiatives. To support capital partnering initiatives, the Board has today

sent to Unit Holders a notice proposing to amend Vital’s Statement of Investment Policy and

Objectives (SIPO). In particular, the proposed amended SIPO would make it easier for Vital to earn

management fees as part of capital partnering arrangements.

8. Interest rate hedging increased from 67.2% at 31 December 2022 to 78.0% at 31 December

2023. Whilst this remains slightly below where Vital would like it to be, the increase removes future

volatility.

“We will continue our process of upgrading and enhancing our property portfolio, in-line with

announcements made over the 2023 calendar year. Developments in particular, are an integral part of

our strategy to enhance Unit Holder returns and improve Vital’s portfolio. All our developments are

substantially on time and on budget other than some minor adjustments announced today,” said Hockly.

Sustainability

Vital was proud to be acknowledged in late 2023 as GRESB sector leader for ESG in healthcare for listed

entities globally across performance, management, and developments.

Vital’s commitment remains that all new developments target a minimum 5 Star Green Star rating.

Hockly added: “In line with New Zealand legislation, we will submit a Climate Related Disclosure prior to

October this year, including information covering Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, Metrics and

Targets. We are currently working with Toitu Envirocare to verify our 2022 baseline emissions data and

are committed to a long-term emissions target of net zero by 2050.”

Outlook

In December 2023, Vital’s Board reaffirmed Vital’s strategy reflecting the Board and Management’s

conviction in healthcare property supported by growing institutional demand for the asset class and the

stability of the cashflows these assets provide.

Healthcare property remains a defensive asset class, underpinned by a high level of government support

and non-discretionary spending. Vital is the only specialist healthcare landlord listed on the NZX and has

the largest team of dedicated healthcare property specialists in Australasia leaving it in a unique position

to capitalise on these tailwinds.

Hockly concluded: “Whilst we have delivered on most of our strategic goals, our primary focus remains

delivering a growing income stream for our Unit Holders whilst also continuing to improve the property

portfolio.”

Tēnā koutou,
Northwest Healthcare Properties

Management Limited, the Manager of Vital

Healthcare Property Trust (Vital), is pleased

to report Vital’s results for the six months

ended 31 December 2023 (HY24).

Manager’s report

Vital is a highly transparent investment entity. We provide regular

updates to our investors and other stakeholders including around

our strategic direction and key targets. We are very proud to have

delivered what we said we were going to.

During the Half Year we realised a number of our previously

communicated strategic goals and targets resulting in the

Board refreshing these as part of an updated strategic plan for

the medium term.

VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST

• Vital was acknowledged as a Sector Leader (the
highest possible achievement) for ESG by GRESB for

listed healthcare entities globally across performance,

management and developments.

• NZ$164m

1

of non-core assets were sold or contracted

for sale taking total sales over the last 12 months to

NZ$222.1m. Sales have been executed at a ~8%

discount to book values highlighting both the accuracy

of these valuations and the demand for healthcare

assets. Proceeds have been used to repay debt and will

ultimately fund Vital’s development pipeline.

• 7% of Vital’s total property portfolio (by net lettable

area) was leased or renewed during HY24.

• Two of Vital’s larger developments, Wakefield Hospital

in Wellington and Ormiston Hospital in Auckland, are

nearing completion reducing the capital required in

future periods.

• With these developments nearing completion,

increasing consideration is being given to Vital’s

future development pipeline. A number of potential

developments across Australia and New Zealand

have been prepared to being “shovel-ready” (typically

design and resource consent) enabling quick conversion

to being a committed development when appropriate

tenant pre-commitments are in place.

• Distributions were maintained at 4.875 cpu from the

prior corresponding period whilst also maintaining a

payout ratio of <90%. Vital’s distribution reinvestment

plan or DRP remains active but the 1% discount has

been removed from February 2024.

• Interest rate hedging increased from 67.2% at 31

December 2022 to 78% at 31 December 2023.

Other key achievements over

the Half Year include:

With two of Vital’s larger developments

due to complete this year, work

is underway to add committed

developments to Vital’s pipeline.

INTERIM REPORT

11

“Over the 10 years ended 31 December
2023, Vital has provided a total return of

10.8% per annum, 2.3% per annum above

the S&P/ NZX All Real Estate Index.”

Due to a falling AFFO per unit, we were unable to

increase distributions for the Half Year which remained at

4.875 cpu (2.4375 cpu per quarter). Our conservative

payout ratio of <90% has enabled maintenance of Vital’s

distribution despite the modest fall in AFFO per unit.

We remain focused on delivering 2-3% growth in AFFO

and distributions per unit per annum over the medium term.

Net tangible assets

Net tangible assets fell ~15% per unit from NZ$3.17 at 31

December 2022 to NZ$2.70 at 31 December 2023. This

fall was primarily attributable to property revaluations which

is unrealised. We anticipate a return to stable and growing

NTA per unit as interest rates stabilise and potentially decline.

AFFO and distributions

AFFO (a proxy for cash profit for Unit Holders) decreased

from the prior corresponding period (NZ$37.7 million

to NZ$37.0 million) primarily due to asset sales.

Pleasingly, as noted above underlying income rose by

4.1% (on a same property, constant currency basis).

AFFO per unit declined by 3.8% decrease in cents

per unit (5.76cpu to 5.54cpu). This decline in

AFFO per unit is primarily due to debt costs rising

faster than net property income and is expected

to be reversed in future periods due to:

1. interest rates stabilising and potentially declining;

2. Vital having higher levels of fixed debt due to

asset sales and potentially capital partnering;

3. further net property income increases over

coming periods as CPI / market rent reviews

flow to future rent and developments complete

and become income producing; and

4. future development commitments being repriced

to align with Vital’s revised cost of capital.

Net property income

Net property income increased from NZ$72.1 million to

NZ$72.4 million for the Half Year. This increase was driven

by strong income growth, offset by asset sales. Underlying

income rose by 4.1% (measured by like-for-like net property

income on a constant currency basis).

~86% of Vital’s income is linked to CPI (albeit with varied

caps as detailed in the Investor Presentation we have

released today). Under Vital’s leases, rent for future periods

is determined by CPI from previous periods so Vital’s future

income is expected to be supported by current and previous

periods of heightened inflation.

Capital management
At 31 December 2023, balance sheet gearing was 38.3%,

all-in weighted cost of debt was 5 .14% (based on drawn

debt only and includes the cost of hedging), weighted

average debt duration was 3.3 years, the weighted

average hedging term was 2.3 years and Vital had debt

headroom in its existing facilities of A$166 million.

Portfolio overview

Vital owns a high-quality ~NZ$3.2 billion portfolio of

38 healthcare investment properties, diversified across

all mainland Australian States and New Zealand. The

portfolio comprises 24 private hospitals (representing 79%

of the portfolio value), 11 ambulatory care facilities (19%)

and three aged care facilities (2%).

At 19.2 years, Vital’s WALE remains the longest of any

NZX listed REIT providing a high level of income security

for Unit Holders.

Leasing

Approximately 17,500 square metres of new or

extended leasing was undertaken across Vital ‘s portfolio

(representing ~7% of Vital’s net lettable area) during the

Half Year. Leasing helped to maintain occupancy above

98%, maintain the long WALE and contribute to the net

property income growth noted above.

Acquisitions and divestments

NZ$21m of acquisitions completed during the Half

Year predominantly land adjoining Ormiston Hospital

in Auckland to facilitate further expansion of this

healthcare precinct as well as other expansion land.

NZ$222m of non-core asset sales were undertaken

over the 2023 calendar year to repay debt and ultimately

fund Vital’s development pipeline. pipeline. A further

NZ$92m is in due diligence for sale and further assets

are being considered for potential sale.

Sustainability / ESG
Vital and Northwest continue to prioritise sustainability,

allocating substantial resources to enhance performance

across various ESG (Environmental, Social, and

Governance) metrics.

In October, Vital was acknowledged as a GRESB Sector

Leader (the highest possible achievement) for ESG in

healthcare for listed entities globally across performance,

management and developments.

GRESB benchmarks ESG performance of real estate and

infrastructure entities with a worldwide investment value of

US$8.6 trillion.

Vital retained a B- in 2023 for CDP (formerly Carbon

Disclosure Project).

A B- score places Vital in the ‘Management’ category,

showcasing our commitment to proactively addressing

our environmental impact and actively striving to decrease

greenhouse gas emissions.

Vital has memberships with the Green Building Councils of

New Zealand and Australia demonstrating our dedication

to Green Star targets on all new developments.

Developments

Developments are a key component of Vital’s strategy to

continue to deliver earnings and capital growth and improve

the quality of the portfolio. In particular we are aiming to

increase Vital’s exposure to green properties in core and

emerging healthcare precincts including in our home market,

New Zealand, where we see significant opportunities to

support private and public healthcare operators.

As at 31 December 2023, Vital had a committed

development pipeline of NZ$512.3 million across nine

projects of which NZ$212.7 million was left to complete.

These figures include one fund-through project totaling

NZ$61.9million with NZ$13.0 million left to complete

which the tenant takes significant development risk.

During the Half Year ~NZ$131 million was spent on

developments, ~NZ$2.3 million spent on value-add

capital works and ~$NZ9.9 million on maintenance

and tenant incentives.

Significant development milestones during the Half Year

were as follows:

1. A$28.5m Mt Eliza fund-through project reached

practical completion in December 2023.

2. N$24.8m Boulcott Hospital Expansion

commenced construction in September 2023.

3. A$16.0m Maitland Hospital expansion

commenced construction in September 2023.

4. N$6.4m Bowen Hospital Expansion reached

practical completion in November 2023.

5. A$57.4m Macarthur Health Precinct Stage 1

fund-through & A$43.4m Playford Health Hub

Stage 2 projects both well progressed nearing

practical completion.

6. N$91.5m Wakefield Hospital Stage 2 & N$38.1m

Ormiston Hospital Stage 1 projects in New Zealand

both well progressed & nearing practical completion.

Vital also has ~NZ$2.0 billion of potential development

opportunities. These opportunities are being actively

considered on land already owned, but are not yet

committed or approved. We will be highly selective about

which opportunities to pursue and when to pursue them.

Vital was acknowledged as Sector Leader

(the highest possible achievement) by

GRESB for ESG for listed healthcare entities

globally across performance, management

and developments.

VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST

Outlook
In December 2023, Vital’s majority Independent Board

approved an updated strategy. The updated strategy is

substantially in line with previously announced strategy

reflecting the Board and management’s conviction in

healthcare property. Key elements include:

– Healthcare property continues to be attractive

due to the underlying tenant demand and

relatively low volatility. Vital is in a unique position

to capitlise on this.

– Vital is supporting our home market and the

communities where our investors are located.

– We have several strategies to return to a growth

path for AFFO and distributions in future periods.

– Vital needs to remain relevant, attractive to

investors and at the forefront of best practice

across all ESG areas.

Continuation of core strategy & focus on

healthcare real estate

Continued focus on key identified markets

notably New Zealand where Vital is

supporting the three main private hospital

operators as well as the public health system

Measures to return to AFFO and

distribution growth in future periods

consistent with targets

– Benefits to Vital include enabling the potential

development pipeline, adding another way

of funding developments and reducing risk

(development, tenant concentration and

geographic concentration) - to support capital

partnering, a proposed amended to Vital’s SIPO

has been sent to Vital’s Unit Holders on the date

of this report.

Increased focus on alternative sources

of capital

Sustainability / ESG to remain core to

everything we do

Continued focus on brownfield and

greenfield developments in core or emerging

healthcare precincts

– Continued improvement of the portfolio to support

security of Unit Holder returns

– Retain sector leadership

– Reflects our belief in healthcare precincts as a

means to enhance returns for Unit Holders

– To become committed, potential developments

must add value for Unit Holders

Case Study

Vital, in collaboration with Ormiston Hospital is in the final

stages of constructing a $46m, ~5,000sqm expansion.

The new facility is 100% pre-leased (including heads of

agreement) and will provide an endoscopy suite with

three procedure rooms, 15 additional beds and 900sqm

of consulting space and future expansion space.

On completion in July 2024, the expanded Ormiston

Hospital, is expected to be valued at over $100m

representing ~3% of Vital’s NZ$3.2 billion portfolio

across Australia and New Zealand (~10% of Vital’s

NZ$1billion NZ portfolio).

In 2023, after completing comprehensive master planning

of the existing site and identifying significant constraints,

Vital acquired ~7,500sqm of expansion land adjoining

the Ormiston Hospital for $13m enabling Vital to respond

to increased demand for healthcare services in Southeast

Auckland. Master-planning for the precinct has commenced.

Vital acquired Ormiston Hospital (majority

operated by Southern Cross) in 2017. The

then ~5,000sqm facility was a 3 level,

26 bed facility with 6 Operating Theatres.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

About this Report

1. Reporting Entity

Vital Healthcare Property Trust (“VHP” or the “Trust”) is a unit trust established under the Unit Trusts Act 1960 by a Trust Deed dated

11 February 1994 (as subsequently amended and replaced), domiciled in New Zealand. The Trust is managed by Northwest Healthcare

Properties Management Limited (the “Manager”), with its registered office at HSBC Tower, Level 17, 188 Quay Street, Auckland.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of VHP for the six months ended 31 December 2023 comprise VHP and its

subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). VHP is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) and is a FMC reporting entity

for the purpose of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Group's principal activity is the investment in, and management of, high

quality real estate in good locations primarily used by healthcare operators or used for healthcare, life sciences and related purposes.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Manager on 15 February 2024.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2023 (including comparative balances)

have been reviewed by the auditor. The 30 June 2023 comparatives were subject to independent audit.

2.

 Basis of Preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP), NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and do not include notes of the type normally

included in an Annual Report. Therefore this report should be read in conjunction with the Group's most recent Annual Report. The

accounting policies and methods of computation have been consistently applied, when compared to those used in the 2023 Annual Report.

The 2023 Annual Report complies with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other

applicable Financial Reporting Standards issued and effective at the time of preparing those statements.

(b)

 Basis of consolidation

The Group’s financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Trust and entities controlled by the Trust (its subsidiaries). Control

is achieved where the Trust has power over the investees; is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investees;

and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The results of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements

from the date of acquisition to the date of disposal. All significant intra-group transactions, balances, cashflows, income and expenses are

eliminated on consolidation.

(c)

 Basis of measurement

The Group uses the historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments and investment properties which are measured at fair

value. Historical cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given or received in exchange for assets or liabilities. Fair value is

the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the

measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

(d)

 Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars ($), which is the Trust's functional and presentation currency. All

information has been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000), unless stated otherwise.

INTERIM REPORT 2024|31
(e) Fair value heirachy

The valuation technique inputs used to determine the value of an asset or liability are classified into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to

which the fair value inputs are observable. A description of the valuation technique inputs used for each level are as follows:

Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the

asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).

Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on

observable market data (unobservable inputs).

(f) The notes to the consolidated financial statements

The following notes include information required to understand these financial statements that is relevant and material to the operations,

financial position and performance of the Group. The notes have been collated into sections to help users find and understand inter-related

information. Information is considered relevant and material if, for example:

•the amount in question is significant by virtue of its size or nature;

•it is important to understand the results of the Group;

3. Material Accounting Policy Information

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of NZ IFRS, the Board and management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying

values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on

experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, however actual results may differ from these

estimates and assumptions.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in

which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

The critical judgements, estimates and assumptions made in the current period are contained in the following notes:

Significant estimates and judgements

Significant estimates and judgements made in the determination of deferred tax include:

•Deferred tax on depreciation: Deferred tax is provided for in respect of New Zealand properties for the depreciation expected to be

recovered on the sale of investment property.

•Deferred tax on changes in fair value of investment properties: Deferred tax for Australian properties is provided on the capital gain that

is expected to be assessable on the land and building component from the sale of investment properties at fair value. The tax rate used

when measuring the deferrred tax position for Australian properties is either 15% (FDR method which applies the Australian 'fund payment'

withholding tax rate) or 28% (Attributed FIF method which applies the New Zealand tax rate) based on the Group's actual FIF income

attribution method election and/or its intention to 'opt-in' to the FDR method.

•Deferred tax on fixtures and fittings: It is assumed that all fixtures and fittings will be sold at their tax book value.

•Deferred tax positions are based on an estimated split between land and buildings as determined by registered valuers.

 Recognition and Measurement

Recognition and measurement

Valuation process

The purpose of the valuation process is to ensure that investment properties are held at fair value. In accordance with the Group's valuation

policy, external valuations are performed by independent professionally qualified valuers who hold a recognised and relevant professional

qualification and have specialised expertise in the type of investment property being valued. The valuation policy requires that a valuer

may not value the same property for more than two consecutive valuations. All valuations are reviewed by the Manager and approved by

the Board.

The fair value of investment property as at 31 December 2023 was determined through independent professional valuers for approximately

44% of the portfolio (30 June 2023: 55%) and the remainder was determined by the Manager. The Manager's valuations were informed

by market data and valuation advice provided by independent valuers, comparable transactional evidence and current period leasing

activities. The valuers of properties which have been independently valued at 31 December 2023 included: Ernst & Young, Colliers

International, Jones Lang LaSalle Australia, Cushman & Wakefield, Valued Care, Absolute Value, Urbis and CBRE. The properties which

have been independently valued at 31 December 2023 are disclosed above in note 6.d.

The methods used for assessing the fair value of investment property are the Direct Comparison, Discounted Cash Flow (using a risk adjusted

discount rate), Capitalisation of Contract and Market Income approaches and are unchanged from the prior year. The principal factors

that influence a valuation include the market capitalisation / discount rates, occupancy, market rent assessments and the weighted average

lease term to expiry (WALE).

Fair Value Hierarchy

Investment properties are classified as Level 3 under the fair value valuation hierarchy.

Generally, as:

•occupancy and weighted average lease term to expiry increase, yields firm, resulting in increased fair values for investment properties

and vice versa;

•capitalisation rates and discount rates used in the valuation approaches decrease (firm), the fair value of the investment property will

increase, and vice versa.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

9. Distributable Income

Statutory profit attributable to Unit Holders is determined in accordance with NZ GAAP and includes a number of non-cash items including

fair value movements, straight-line lease accounting adjustments, amortisation of borrowing costs, leasing costs and tenant incentives.

The Manager uses Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) and AFFO per unit as the Group's key performance metric, representative of

the Group's underlying performance, and as a guide to informing the Group's distribution policy. AFFO adjusts statutory profit attributable

to Unit Holders for certain items that are non-cash, unrealised, capital in nature or are one-off or non-recurring (i.e. outside the Group's

ordinary operations or not reflective of its underlying performance). As AFFO is a non GAAP measure it may not be directly comparable

with other entities.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Recognition and measurement

Derivatives are categorised as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and are initially recognised and subsequently

measured at fair value derived from counterparty bank valuations. Counterparty bank valuations are tested for reasonableness by

discounting the estimated future cashflows and using market interest rates for a substitute instrument at the measurement date. The resulting

gain or loss is recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as hedge accounting has not been applied.

Recognition and measurement

Derivatives are categorised as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and are initially recognised and subsequently

measured at fair value derived from counterparty bank valuations. Counterparty bank valuations are tested for reasonableness by using a

valuation model based on the applicable forward price curves derived from observable forward prices. As hedge accounting has not been

applied any resulting gain or loss is recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

(11.c)

 Fair value hierarchy

The Group has determined that interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contract derivatives are Level 2 fair value measurement

instruments, that are measured using observable prices of similar instruments. There have been no reclassifications between levels in the

current period (2022: nil).

INTERIM REPORT 2024|49
12. Commitments and Contingencies

Other than the contractual obligations disclosed in Note 6.e and Note12.a, there are no other commitments and contingencies in effect at

the reporting date (31 December 2022: nil).

(12.a) NZX Bank Bond

As a condition of listing on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX), NZX requires all issuers to provide a bank bond to NZX under

NZX/DX Listing Rule 1.23.2. The bank bond required by the Trust for listing on the NZX is $75,000.

(12.b) Other Contingent Liabilities

The Australian Federal Government has proposed legislation to clarify uncertainty associated with State property taxes and double tax

treaty agreements. The legilsation is proposed to be retrospective to

1 January 2018, remains to be approved and may potentially impact

the Group's position of absentee owner surcharges.

15. Related Party Transactions

Vital is managed by Northwest Healthcare Properties Management Limited (the "Manager"), a wholly owned subsidiary of NWI

Healthcare Properties LP (NWIHLP).

The ultimate parent of NWIHLP is Toronto listed Northwest Healthcare Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (NW REIT) that, as at reporting

date, holds a 28.6% (31 December 2022: 28.2%) interest in Vital. NW REIT and its controlled entities (including the Manager) are

considered related parties to Vital and its controlled entities by virtue of common ownership and/or directorships.

Other related parties by virtue of common ownership and/or ownership and/or directorship to the Manager of Vital include Australian

Properties Limited and Northwest Healthcare Australian Property Limited.

Remuneration of the Manager

Vital pays fees to the Manager in accordance with the Trust Deed, with capitalised terms being defined terms in the Trust Deed. The

aggregate of Base Fees, Incentive Fees and Activity Fees is capped at 1.75% per annum of Vital's Gross Asset Value (GAV) as at the end of

a financial year.

Fee arrangements

In accordance with the Trust Deed, the fee arrangements are as follows:

Base Fee

The Base Fee structure is as follows:

•65 bps per annum up to $1bn of GAV:

•55 bps per annum from $1bn to $2bn of GAV;

•45 bps per annum from $2bn to $3bn of GAV; and

•40 bps per annum over $3bn of GAV.

Incentive Fee

The Incentive Fee is determined as 10% of the average annual increase in Vital’s Net Tangible Assets (NTA) (as defined by the Trust Deed)

over the respective Financial Year and the two preceding Financial Years, with payment being made by way of subscribing for new units.

The incentive fee calculations are also subject to a ‘three year High Watermark Net Tangible Asset” requirement, such that for the purpose

of determining the increase in NTA for a Financial Year, the annual NTA increase for that Financial Year will reduce to zero if the actual NTA

does not exceed the High Watermark Net Tangible Asset requirement.

Activity Fees

The Activity Fee structure is as follows:

a. Leases or licences

Vital pays the Manager leasing or licence fees where the Manager has negotiated leases or licences. The fees are charged at 11% of the

aggregate annual rental for terms less than 3 years, 12% of the aggregate annual rental for terms of 3 years, and 12% plus an additional 1%

pro-rata for each year or part thereof for terms greater than three years (to a maximum of 20%), subject to a minimum fee of $2,500.

INTERIM REPORT 2024|51
Lease or licence renewals are charged at 50% of a new lease or licence fee.

Leasing or licence fees are capitalised to the respective investment or property in the consolidated statement of financial position and

amortised over the term of the lease.

b. Property management

Vital pays the Manager property management fees where the Manager acts as the property manager. These fees are charged at 1%

- 2% of gross income depending on the number of tenants at the property and may be recovered from tenants if permitted under

lease agreements.

Property management fees, net of recoveries from tenants, are expensed through the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the

year in which they arise.

c. Facilities management

Vital pays the Manager a facilities management fee where the Manager acts as a property facilities manager based on the market rate

(referenced to a reputable and high-quality third party service provider) for similar services at similar properties. This fee may be recovered

from tenants if permitted under lease agreements.

Facilities management fees are expensed, net of recoveries from tenants, through the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the

year in which they arise.

d. Project management

Vital pays project management fees to the Manager for managing capital expenditure projects where the purpose of the project is to

upgrade, repair or otherwise extend the life of the property, including via the replacement or repair of major plant and equipment, structural

items and building envelope.

Project management fees for projects with a budget of between $0.2m and $2.5m are 2% of the committed spend where the Manager is

the project lead and 1% of committed spend where the Manager has an oversight role, increasing to 4% and 2% respectively for projects

with a budget greater than $2.5m.

Project management fees are capitalised to the respective investment or property in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Additional Costs

The Additional Costs structure is as follows:

a. Acquisitions

Vital pays fees to the Manager for managing the due diligence, financing, legal aspects and settlement of the purchase of an investment or

property instead of, or alongside, a third party agent. These fees are charged at 1.5% of the capitalised cost of the relevant investment or

property, being the contracted price payable, excluding any deductions netted off the settlement price (such as rates), together with other

related capitalised acquisition costs.

Acquisition fees are capitalised to the respective investment or property in the consolidated statement of financial position.

b. Disposals

Vital pays fees to the Manager for managing the due diligence, legal aspects and settlement of the sale of an investment or property

instead of, or alongside, a third party agent. These fees are charged at 1% of the contracted sale price of the relevant investment or property

actually received, provided that, if a third party agent has been engaged to provide services for the disposal, then the fee payable to the

Manager will be net of the third party agent’s costs and commissions.

Disposal fees are expensed through the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year in which they arise.

52|VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

c. Development Management

Vital pays fees where the Manager acts as a development manager on Vital developments. These fees are charged at 4% of the committed

spend (excluding land) approved by the Board of the Manager provided that, if a third party agent has been engaged to provide

development management services, then the fee payable to the Manager will be reduced by the non-rentalisable third party costs paid.

Development management fees are capitalised to the respective property in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Other amounts

In accordance with the Trust Deed, the Manager is permitted to engage related parties to provide services to the Trust. The provision of these

services is subject to compliance with the restrictions on related party transactions in the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Other Related Parties

On 30 December 2022 the Group entered into an agreement with Northwest Healthcare Australia RE Limited as trustee for Northwest

Healthcare Australia Lumina Trust (Lumina) under which Vital is to purchase the land at 15 Nexus Way, Southport, Queensland Australia

In conjunction with the purchase of the Land:

•Lumina has agreed to guarantee the net operating income of RDX will not be less than A$3.712m for the 12 months from practical

completion of RDX; and

•the Group has agreed to pay Lumina 50% of the actual net operating income in excess of A$3.712m plus 50% of any outperformance

against the leasing assumptions, capped at A$2.0m.




Independent Auditor’s Review Report

to The Unitholders of Vital Healthcare Property Trust


Conclusion

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements (‘interim financial statements’) of Vital

Healthcare Property Trust and its subsidiaries (‘the Group ’ or ‘the Trust’) on pages 26 to 54 which comprise the

consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive

income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended

on that date, and notes to the interim financial statements, including material accounting policy information.


Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements of

the Trust do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2023 and its

financial performance and cash flows for the six months ended on that date in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim

Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.


Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the

Independent Auditor of the Entity (‘NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)’). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s

Responsibilities for the Review of the Interim Financial Statements section of our report.


We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to the

audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these

requirements.


In addition to this review and the audit of the Group’s annual financial statements, we have carried out other assignments

for the Group as independent AGM vote scrutineer. These services have not impaired our independence as auditor of the

Group. The firm has no other relationships with, or interests in, the Group.


Board of Directors’ responsibilities for the interim financial statements

The Board of Directors of the Manager is responsible on behalf of the Trust for the preparation and fair presentation of

the interim financial statements in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial

Reporting and for such internal control as the Board of Directors of the Manager determines is necessary to enable the

preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether

due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE 2410

(Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim

financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim

Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.


A review of the interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement.

We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and

accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The procedures performed in a review are

substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing

(New Zealand) and consequently do not enable us to obtain assurance that we might identify in an audit. Accordingly we

do not express an audit opinion on the interim financial statements.


INTERIM REPORT 2024|55





Restriction on use

This report is made solely to the Trust’s unitholders, as a body. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to

the Trust’s unitholders those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and for no other purpose. To

the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Trust’s

unitholders as a body, for our engagement, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Strategy reaffirmed
The update is substantially in line with previously announced strategy. Key elements include:

– Healthcare property continues to be attractive due to the

underlying tenant demand and relatively low volatility.

Vital is in a unique position to capitalise on this.

Continuation of core strategy & focus on

healthcare real estate

– We have several strategies to return to a growth path

for AFFO and distributions in future periods.

Measures to return to AFFO and distribution growth in

future periods consistent with targets

– Vital needs to remain relevant, attractive to investors and

at the forefront of best practice across all ESG areas.

Sustainability / ESG to remain core to everything we do

Continued focus on brownfield and greenfield

developments in core or emerging healthcare precincts

– Continued improvement of the portfolio to support security

of Unit Holder returns

– Retain sector leadership

– Reflects our belief in healthcare precincts and developments

as a means to enhance returns for Unit Holders

– To become committed, potential developments must add

value for Unit Holders

Increased focus on alternative sources of capital

– Benefits to Vital include enabling the potential

development pipeline, adding another way of funding

developments and reducing risk (development, tenant

and geographic concentration).

IN DECEMBER 2023, VITAL'S MAJORITY INDEPENDENT BOARD APPROVED AN UPDATED STRATEGY

Continued focus on key identified markets notably New

Zealand where Vital is supporting the three main private

hospital operators as well as the public health system

– Vital is supporting our home market and the communities

where our investors are located.

Healthcare property is a growing investment class

due to its strong underlying tenant demand which

is uncorrelated with economic cycles.

Vital is in a unique position to capitalise on this due to

its deep understanding on the sector, unmatched sector

experience and key relationships benefiting both our

Unit Holders and operating partners.

Non-core asset sales, coupled with

the reinvestment into developments,

have improved Vital's portfolio through

increasing exposure to healthcare

precincts and green buildings, increasing

Vital's pro-forma WALE and reducing

average building age.

An improved, more resilient portfolio

$46m ~5,000sqm expansion due to complete in July 2024 and is 100% pre-leased

(including heads of agreement).

Expected to be valued at over $100m on completion representing ~3% of Vital’s total

portfolio and 10% of Vital’s NZ portfolio.

In 2023, Vital acquired ~7,500sqm of adjoining land for $13m enabling Vital to respond

to increased demand for healthcare services in Southeast Auckland. Master-planning for

the precinct has been completed.

Strategy reaffirmed
To support capital partnering, the Board proposes to

amend Vital’s Statement of Investment Policy and Objectives

(SIPO). Although no specific transaction has been agreed,

the amendment is expected to enable Vital to do the

following, by way of example, more easily:

• earn management fees;

• consider a wider range of capital partnering initiatives

and structures; and

• consider a wider range of transactions.

The above is to remain consistent with Vital’s overarching

investment objectives, as set out in the SIPO, of increasing

“... its net asset value, the value of units held by Unit Holders

and the distributions paid to Unit Holders, on a sustainable

basis” through:

Proposed amended SIPO to support capital partnering

In December 2023, Vital’s majority independent board approved an updated strategy. The update is substantially in line with

previously announced strategy reflecting the Board and management’s conviction in healthcare property. Key elements include:

• “owning and managing high quality real estate in good

locations primarily used by healthcare operators or used

for healthcare, life sciences and related purposes;

• secure and maintain property occupancy with quality

tenant(s); and achieve long lease terms where possible...”

Consistent with Appendix 2 of the SIPO, notice is being

provided to Unit Holders on the date of this document of

the variation to the SIPO.

The proposed change provides the Board and management

with another mechanism to increase Vital’s earnings and / or

the value of Vital’s units.

– Vital needs to remain relevant, investable and at the forefront of

best practice across all ESG areas.

– We have several strategies to return to a growth path for AFFO

and distributions in future periods.

– Vital is supporting our home market and the communities where

our investors are located.

– Healthcare property continues to be attractive due to the

underlying tenant demand and relatively low volatility. Vital is in

a unique position to capitalise on this.

Sustainability / ESG to remain core to everything we doMeasures to return to AFFO and distribution growth

in future periods consistent with targets

Continued focus on key identified markets notably New

Zealand where Vital is supporting the three main private

hospital operators as well as the public health system

Continuation of core strategy & focus on healthcare

real estate

Continued focus on brownfield and greenfield

developments in core or emerging healthcare precincts

– Continued improvement of the portfolio to support security of

Unit Holder returns

– Retain sector leadership

– Reflects our belief in healthcare precincts as a means to

enhance returns for Unit Holders

– To become committed, potential developments must add value

for Unit Holders

– Benefits to Vital include enabling the potential development

pipeline, adding another way of funding developments

and reducing risk (development, tenant concentration and

geographic concentration).

Increased focus on alternative sources of capital
