Group Commentary

Green Cross Health Group CEO Rachael Newfield, commented, “It has been a challenging twelve

months as the Group has navigated significant headwinds relating to workforce shortages and

inflationary pressures impacting consumer spending and profit margins. Funding levels have not

kept pace with cost increases and our teams in both Pharmacy and Medical are adapting

operations to improve performance.

“Pharmacy saw strong performance in dispensary and vaccination services, supported by the

company’s on-going investment in expert care and advice. Seven investments in medical centres

were completed in the year to take the general practice network to 423,000 enrolled patients

across 66 medical centres, representing New Zealand’s largest general practice enrolled patient

base.”

Green Cross Health Chair Kim Ellis added, "The Company’s strong financial position and narrowed

focus following the sale of the Community Health division ensure the Group is well positioned to

deliver on its strategy of organic and acquisitive growth in medical and pharmacy.”

Pharmacy Division

Revenue in Pharmacy increased 1% to $363.6m while Operating Profit for the period decreased by

$1.8m to $19.3m due to labour cost pressures and inflation impacting margins. Dispensary


continued to grow with initial prescriptions up 7% for same stores, with growth accelerated by the

Government removing the standard pharmacy co-payment on 1 July 2023, a change which Green

Cross Health has lobbied over many years to ensure equitable access to healthcare.

Vaccination activity also remained strong throughout the period; Unichem and Life pharmacies

administered over 320,000 vaccinations, a 5% growth over the prior year’s record result. While flu

vaccinations accounted for the majority of vaccinations, the increased reliance on pharmacies as

accessible primary health providers led to a significant year-on-year rise in other vaccinations

(excluding flu).

Same store retail sales were down 3% compared to prior year. Store optimisation led to two stores

relocating, three stores merging and two closing during the period. The division continues to

selectively invest in new pharmacies with one investment completed during the year, bringing the

number of pharmacies in which the division holds an equity interest to 84. Investment in

differentiated products remains a priority.

The Living Rewards programme once again grew and membership surpassed the two million mark

during the year. The programme was rebranded to refresh and modernise interactions with

existing members and to attract new members given members spend 50% more than non-Living

Rewards members. Additional investment was made in the systems supporting the programme

including introducing further technology to assist targeting of retail offers through audience

profiles, along with giving the company the ability to engage with customers about key health

services and vaccinations as they become due, aligned to the division’s care and advice strategy.

Medical Division

Medical Revenue increased 5% to $140.3m, with Operating Profit down $1.2m to $15.0m. A

reduction in higher margin COVID-19 activity and labour cost pressures impacted profitability,

particularly in the first half of the year. As a result, restructuring of the cost base was completed

in the second half of the year, contributing to a lift in performance.

The Medical division continued to expand. The portfolio’s national footprint grew to 66 centres

following investment in seven medical centres. Enrolled patients as at 31 March 2024 totalled

423,000, an increase of 37,000 (+9%) since 31 March 2023. Three practices underwent

refurbishments during the year to enhance the patient environment and increase efficiencies in the

delivery of patient care. Further investment was made in the rebranding programme, with 44

centres now operating under The Doctors brand.

Investment in technology was an area of focus throughout the year with the roll-out of a

standardised practice management system now complete at 53 medical centres. An integrated

invoice payment solution was implemented at 33 medical centres, improving the ease with which

patients can make payments. The implementation of The Doctors App progressed, with 30 medical

centres onboarded and additional centres planned for FY25 launch.


Green Cross Health is funded by 12 different Primary Health Organisations (PHOs) for its 66 medical

centres. During the year approval was received to migrate 28 centres to National Hauora Coalition

(NHC) PHO on or before 1 July 2024, of which two were completed by 31 March 2024. The transition

is on track and the company continues to advocate for further simplification of funding

arrangements, to achieve efficiencies and maximise time spent on patient care.

Outlook and Dividend

The Board expects macro-economic challenges, particularly workforce shortages, inflationary

pressures and tightening of consumer spending, to remain in the new financial year. The company

will focus on improving labour efficiency and cost management, utilising technology to support

change. In-store execution, extension of product range and expansion of service offerings are a

priority. Green Cross Health urges the Government to address funding levels to primary healthcare

to ensure services remain accessible to those most in need in communities across New Zealand.

The Board has declared a final dividend of 2.0 cents per share.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the shareholders of Green Cross Health Limited

Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements

of Green Cross Health Limited (the ’company’) and

its subsidiaries (the 'group') on pages 7 to 33

present fairly, in all material respects:

i. the Group’s financial position as at 31 March

2024 and its financial performance and cash

flows for the year ended on that date;

in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to

International Financial Reporting Standards issued

by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board

and International Financial Reporting Standards

issued by the International Accounting Standards

Board.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated

financial statements which comprise:

— the consolidated statement of financial position

as at 31 March 2024;

— the consolidated statements of comprehensive

income, changes in equity and cash flows for

the year then ended; and

— notes, including a summary of significant

accounting policies.


Basis for opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ ISAs (NZ)’). We

believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We are independent of the group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of

Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (Including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by

the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for

Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence

Standards) (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these

requirements and the IESBA Code.

Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the

consolidated financial statements section of our report.

Our firm has also provided other services to the group in relation to tax compliance and advisory and a retail

strategy review. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the group

on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the group. These matters have

not impaired our independence as auditor of the group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the

group.

4
Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Materiality helped us to determine the

nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually

and on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The materiality for the consolidated financial statements

as a whole was set at $1.1m determined with reference to a benchmark of group Profit Before Tax. We chose the

benchmark because, in our view, this is a key measure of the group’s performance.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of

the consolidated financial statements in the current period. We summarise below those matters and our key audit

procedures to address those matters in order that the shareholders as a body may better understand the process

by which we arrived at our audit opinion. Our procedures were undertaken in the context of and solely for the

purpose of our statutory audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole and we do not express

discrete opinions on separate elements of the consolidated financial statements.

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our

audit

Impairment of non-current assets

Refer to note 14 of the consolidated financial

statements.

The Group has grown significantly through

acquisitions in its Pharmacy and Medical

business units which has resulted in the

recognition of goodwill in the amount of $86.6

million, $77 million respectively.

In the event the business units underperform

compared to their business cases, there is a risk

that the goodwill arising on acquisition may no

longer be supported.

As disclosed in note 14, the Group performs an

annual impairment test of goodwill and uses a

discounted cash flow model to determine the

recoverable amount of its business units to which

goodwill has been allocated.

In performing this assessment, assumptions are

made in respect of future economic and market

conditions. Cashflow forecasts include

consideration of the Group’s strategic business

plan for each business unit and their impact on

forecast sales and operating costs. Additionally,

management determined terminal growth rates

and discount rates which reflect an assessment

Our audit procedures included:

 Ensuring the allocation of goodwill to the Group’s

business units is appropriate;

 Evaluating the methodology, mathematical

accuracy and assumptions applied in the

discounted cash flow models. We used our own

valuation specialists to assist us with the

consideration of terminal growth and discount

rates;

 Challenging management’s cash flow

assumptions over projected cash, and the

expected impact of the Group’s business plans for

each business unit by reference to their historical

performance and the internal and external factors

that influence their operations;

 Performing sensitivity analysis around the key

assumptions used in the models; and

 Reviewing the appropriateness of related

disclosures in the consolidated financial

statements.

 Challenged management on whether the market

capitalisation deficit is an indicator of impairment

5
The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our

audit

of the time value of money and the risks specific

to each business unit.

The annual impairment test performed by the

Group was significant to our audit due to the

magnitude of the goodwill balance and because

the assessment process involved judgment about

the future performance of the business units.

The market capitalisation deficit that exists at

balance date is an indicator of impairment.

and challenged management’s earnings

assumptions used in the value in use calculations.

We did not identify any factors that were materially

inconsistent with management’s overall conclusions.

Other information

The Directors, on behalf of the group, are responsible for the other information included in the group’s Annual

Report. Other information includes the Directors Declaration and the other information included in the Annual

Report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover any other information and we do not

express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this Independent Auditor's Report. Our

responsibility is to read the Annual Report when it becomes available and consider whether the other information

it contains is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the

audit, or otherwise appear misstated. If so, we are required to report such matters to the Directors.

Use of this independent auditor’s r eport

This independent auditor’s report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our audit work has been

undertaken so that we might state to the shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in the

independent auditor’s 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 shareholders as a body for our audit work, this independent

auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated

financial statements

The Directors, on behalf of the company, are responsible for:

— the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally

accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards) and International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the New Zealand

Accounting Standards Board;

6
— implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a consolidated set of financial

statements that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

— assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related

to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to

cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated

financial statements

Our objective is:

— to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

— to issue an independent auditor’s report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance

with ISAs NZ will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they

could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these

consolidated financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these consolidated financial statements is located at

the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at:

http://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/

This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Jodi Newth

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2024

1Reporting Entity

Green Cross Health Limited (the “Parent” or the "Company") is a New Zealand company registered under the Companies

Act 1993 and is an FMC entity for the purposes of the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and the Financial Markets Conduct Act

2013. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with these Acts. The Company is listed on the New


Zealand Stock Exchange ("NZX").

The consolidated financial statements of Green Cross Health Limited comprise the Parent, its subsidiaries, and its interest

in associates and joint ventures (together referred to as the “Group”).

2Basis of preparation of financial statements

(a)Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice

(“NZ GAAP”). They comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”), and

other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, and authoritative notices as appropriate for a Tier one for profit entity. They

also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 29 May 2024.

(b)Basis of measurement

The financial statements of the Group are prepared under the historical cost basis unless otherwise noted within the

specific accounting policies below.

(c)Changes in accounting policy

The Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial

statements, except as mentioned below.

(d)Comparatives

Comparative information for the prior year has been represented in respect of the disposal of the Community Health

division (refer to Note 4).

(e)Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars ($), which is the functional currency of the entities of the

Group. All financial information presented in New Zealand dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(f)Significant estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS requires the Directors to make judgments, estimates

and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed

to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values

of some assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In authorising the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024, the Directors have ensured that the specific

accounting policies necessary for the proper understanding of the financial statements have been disclosed, and that all

accounting policies adopted are appropriate for the Group’s circumstances and have been consistently applied throughout

the year for all Group entities for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements.

The 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision

and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Information about the significant areas of judgment

exercised or estimation in applying accounting policies that have had a significant impact on the amounts recognised in the

financial statements are described as follows:

-

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2024

(continued)

2Basis of preparation of financial statements(continued)

(f)Significant estimates and judgments(continued)

(i) Classification of investments

Classifying investments as either subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures requires the Directors to assess the degree of

influence which the Group holds over the invested. In arriving at a conclusion the Directors take into account the

constitutional structure of the invested, governance arrangements, current and future representation on the Board of

Directors, and all other arrangements which might allow influence over the operating and financial policies of the invested.

(ii) Impairment of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets

The carrying values of goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, are assessed at least annually to ensure

that they are not impaired. This assessment requires the Directors to estimate future cash flows to be generated by cash

generating units to which goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives have been allocated. Estimating future

cash flows entails making judgments including the expected rate of growth of revenues and expenses, margins and market

shares to be achieved, and the appropriate rate to apply when discounting future cash flows. Note 14 of these financial

statements provides more information on the assumptions the Directors have made in this area and the carrying values of

goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets. As the outcomes in the next financial period may be different to the

assumptions made, it is impracticable to predict the impact that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount.

(iii) Accounting for leases under NZ IFRS 16

In determining the right of use assets and lease liabilities a number of estimates and judgments have been made by

management. These include determining the applicable incremental borrowing rates and assessment of the lease terms,

including any rights of renewal and whether it is reasonably certain they will be exercised. See Note 13.

(g)Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities that are controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to,

variable returns from its involvement in the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the

investee. Power arises when the Group has existing rights to direct the relevant activities of the investee, i.e. those that

significantly affect the investee’s returns. Control is assessed on a continuous basis.

The Group consolidates the results of its subsidiaries from the date that control commences until the date on which control

ceases. At such point as control ceases, it derecognises the assets, liabilities and any related non-controlling interests and

other components of equity. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be an associate

or a joint venture. At the date the equity method is discontinued, the difference between the carrying amount of the

associate or a joint venture and the fair value of any retained interest and any proceeds from disposing of a part interest in

the associate or a joint venture is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate or joint

venture.

The Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries ranges from 25% to 100% (2023: 25% to 100%). The Group consolidates

34 out of 49 entities where it holds less than half of the voting rights. This is on the basis that the Group's contractual

arrangements with these entities result in them meeting the definition of being subsidiaries as set out above.

(h)Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests are present ownership interests and are initially measured at either fair value or the non-controlling

interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is determined on a

transaction-by-transaction basis. Under the proportionate interest method, goodwill is not attributed to the non-controlling

interest and the Group recognises only its share of goodwill whereas under fair value, the non-controlling interest includes

its proportionate share of goodwill.

Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a change in the control conclusion are accounted for as

transactions with equity-holders in their capacity as equity holders.

While the group has 52 (2023: 48) subsidiaries with non-controlling interests, there are no subsidiaries with individually

material non-controlling interest.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2024

(continued)

2Basis of preparation of financial statements(continued)

(i)Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in

preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees

are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated

in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

(j)Goods and Services Tax (GST)

The statement of comprehensive income has been stated so that all components are exclusive of GST. All items in the

statement of financial position are stated net of GST with the exception of receivables and payables, which include GST

invoiced.

(k)Statement of cash flows

The statement of cash flows has been prepared using the direct method subject to the netting of certain cash flows.

Cash flows in respect of investments and borrowings that have been rolled-over under arranged banking facilities have

been netted in order to provide meaningful disclosures.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and

form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the

purpose of the statement of cash flows.

Operating activities include all cash received from all revenue sources and all cash disbursed for all expenditure sources

including taxation refunds or payments and other transactions that are not classified as investing or financing activities.

Investing activities reflect the acquisition and disposal of property, plant and equipment and intangibles, loans to

associates, and investments in associates, subsidiaries and joint ventures.

Financing activities reflect changes in borrowings and equity.

(l)Inventory

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on a weighted

average principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other

costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Inventory comprises of pharmacy goods held for

sale.

(m)Government grants

Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit and loss as other income on a systematic

basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognised.

3New standards and interpretations issued and not yet effective

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the year ended 31

March 2024. These have been assessed for applicability to the Group and the Directors have concluded that they will not

have a significant impact on future financial statements, except for amendment to NZ IAS 1 which will require additional

disclosures in the financial statements in respect of covenants.

5Segment reporting

Segment information provided in this note reflects the Group's performance from continuing operations only. The

Community Health business was discontinued last year and has been excluded from the disclosure in this note. Please see

Note 4 Discontinued operations for further information.

The Group has two reportable segments: pharmacy services and medical services. The pharmacy services segment

provides retail and dispensary services and the medical services segment provides GP, nursing and urgent care services.

The Group’s main operations are in the pharmacy industry providing pharmacy services through consolidated stores, equity

accounted investments and franchise stores. The medical services segment includes fully owned and equity accounted

medical centres, and support services provided to these medical centres, as well as medical centres outside the Group.

The Board monitors the various revenue streams within each reportable segment separately however, they do not meet the

criteria for separate disclosure due to the following:

Aggregation of the operating segments within each reportable segment is consistent with the core principle of NZ

IFRS 8, i.e. aggregating will not distort the interpretation of the financial statements for the users;

The operating segments within each reportable segment share the same economic characteristics; and

The nature of the products and services, and the nature of the regulatory environment are the same for the

operating segments.

The goodwill is attributable mainly to the various patient databases acquired and the synergies expected to be achieved.

None of the goodwill recognised is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The amount of revenue included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is $8.3m million with a net profit

after tax of $0.6 million in respect of the entities acquired during the year.

If the acquisitions had occurred on 1 April 2023, management estimates that consolidated operating revenue would have

been $512.4m, and consolidated profit after tax for the year would have been $16.4m for continuing operations.

Pharmacy retail and dispensing services

Pharmacy retail and dispensary services include retail sales, dispensing, professional advisory and care services. For all

these services control is considered to pass to the customer at the point when the customer can use or otherwise benefit

from the goods and services. For retail sales, control passes at point of sale. Retail sales are predominantly by credit card,

debit card or in cash.

The Group operates its own Living Rewards loyalty programme. When a retail sale is made and points are earned, the

resulting revenue is allocated between the loyalty programme and the other components of the sale. The amount allocated

to the loyalty programme is deferred, and is recognised as revenue when the points are redeemed under the terms of the

programme or when it is no longer probable that the points under the programme will be redeemed.

Other pharmacy services

These mainly include franchise fees, supplier income and other service revenue. Control for franchise services pass over

time as the services are delivered over the term of the franchise agreement. Payment terms for franchise fees is generally

20 to 30 days. Supplier income is earned, as promotional services are rendered over a specified time period by the Group.

Payment terms are generally 20 to 30 days.

Medical services

Medical services include capitation and health services and patient fees. Control for capitation and health services passes

over time as the healthcare services are delivered to the patient over a certain time period. Payments terms are generally

20 to 30 days. Patient fees are earned at a point in time. Control passes to the customer when service has been delivered

to a customer. Patient fees are predominantly by credit card, debit card or in cash.

Contract assets and contract liabilities

Current contract assets represent revenue where the service has been provided but not yet invoiced to the customer. When

the customer has been invoiced, any outstanding balances are included in receivables. Contract liabilities reflect payments

received for services that have not yet been provided and the payments will be recognised as revenue over time.

Costs directly related to the acquisition of a contract or renewal of an existing contract are capitalised and amortised over

the life of the contract. Cost relating to fulfilling a contract are only capitalised if they meet the recognition criteria under NZ

IFRS 15. Costs incurred in obtaining a contract are only capitalised to the extent they are incremental.

Taxation accounting policy

Income tax expense is charged to profit and loss and comprises current tax and deferred tax, unless it relates to an item

recognised in other comprehensive income or equity in which case it is recognised in other comprehensive income or

equity.

Current tax is the estimated tax payable on the current period’s taxable income using current tax rates, adjusted for any

under or over accrual in respect of prior periods.

Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet approach, allowing for temporary differences between the carrying

amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the carrying amounts for tax purposes. A deferred tax asset is

recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary

differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is

no longer probable that the related benefit will be realised.

Property, plant & equipment accounting policy

Property, plant & equipment owned by the Group consists primarily of leasehold improvements and is stated at cost less

accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Property, plant & equipment acquired in stages is not depreciated

until the asset is ready for its intended use.

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on all property, plant & equipment components to allocate the cost of the

asset (less any residual value) over its useful life or if it relates to assets in a leased premises, the life of the lease if shorter.

The residual values and remaining useful lives of asset components are reviewed at least annually.

Current estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are between two and twelve years.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that future economic benefit associated with the expenditure will

flow to the Group. All other costs are recognised in the profit and loss as expenditure when incurred.

Any resulting gain or loss on disposal of an asset is recognised in the profit and loss in the period in which the asset is

disposed of.

13 Leases

As a lessee

The Group’s leased assets include property leases for pharmacies, medical centres and support office. The lease terms of

these leases typically range from 2 to 30 years (inclusive of any renewal options). Some leases provide for additional rent

payments that are based on changes in CPI or market rental rates. The Group also leases motor vehicles and equipment,

which typically run for a period of 3 to 5 years.

As a lessee, the Group recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the majority of its leases – i.e. these leases

are on-balance sheet.

The carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are as below:

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is

initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted

for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement

date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s

incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

(continued)

13 Leases(continued)

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payment

made. It is re-measured when there is:

a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate; or

a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or

changes in assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a

termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised; or

any other change in the future lease payments or the lease term due to a lease modification that’s not accounted

for as a separate lease.

The Group has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include

renewal options. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impact the lease

term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised.

Intangible assets accounting policy

Intangible assets recognised by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses with

the exception of goodwill (see below).

Intangible assets acquired in stages are not amortised until the asset is ready for its intended use.

Other intangible assets represent franchisee store rebranding costs and have an indefinite life.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised if future economic benefit will flow to the Group and the requirements of the standard

are met. All other costs are recognised in the profit and loss as expenditure when incurred.

Any resulting gain or loss on disposal of an intangible asset is recognised in the profit and loss in the period in which the

intangible asset is disposed of.

Intangible assets disclosed in the financial statements relate to trademarks and other indefinite life intangible assets.

Indefinite life intangible assets are tested annually for impairment.

Goodwill accounting policy

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of businesses. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair

value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets at the time of acquisition.

Goodwill is allocated to the relevant cash generating units (CGU) expected to benefit from the acquisition and tested for

impairment annually, or earlier at any interim reporting dates if there are indicators of impairment.

The value of each CGU is determined by its value in use. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount of the

CGU then an impairment loss is recognised in profit and loss and the carrying amount of the asset is written down.

The relative value of the goodwill allocated to the relevant cash generating unit is included in the determination of any gain

or loss on disposal.

Impairment testing

Discounted cash flow (DCF) models have been based on three-year forecast cash flow projections. The budget for the

year-ending 31 March 2025 is the basis for the first year's projections and projections for subsequent periods have been

based on this plus growth. Terminal cash flows are projected to grow in line with the New Zealand long-term inflation rate.

The discount rate was a post-tax measure (discount rate pre-tax 10.12%) based on the rate of 10-year government bonds

issued by the government in the relevant market and in the same currency as the cash flows, adjusted for a risk premium to

reflect both the increased risk of investing in equities generally and the systematic risk of the specific CGU.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Group's operating divisions which represent the lowest

level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is allocated across all

operations within a division that have similar economic characteristics and collectively benefit from acquisitions that

increase the Group's portfolio.

No impairment was identified for Pharmacy Services and Medical Services as a result of this review, nor under any

reasonable possible change, in any of the key assumptions described above.

Investments in associates and joint ventures accounting policy

An associate is an investee over which the Group has significant influence, which is the power to participate in the financial

and operating policy decisions of the investee but not to control or jointly control those policies.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net

assets of the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of the arrangement which only exists

when decision about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates and joint ventures are incorporated into the financial statements of the

Group using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the initial investment in the Group financial

statements is measured at cost and adjusted thereafter for the Group’s share of profit and loss and other comprehensive

income of the associate and joint venture. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of an associate or joint venture investment

is included in the carrying amount of the investment net of dividends received. Where the Group’s share of losses of the

associate of joint venture exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate or joint venture, the Group discontinues

recognising its share of losses unless it has a legal or constructive obligation to continue doing so. The equity method is

discontinued where the Group ceases to exert significant influence or joint control over the investee.

Accounting policies adopted by associates and joint ventures are generally consistent with those of the Group. Where a

material difference does exist, appropriate adjustments are applied to ensure congruence with the policies of the Group, the

most significant of these being the recognition of deferred tax.

The Group re-financed its debt facilities during the year, with the Group’s primary lenders now being BNZ and Bank of

China (the lenders).

The Group's interest rate on outstanding loans is calculated based on BKBM or cost of funds plus a margin. The current

interest rate is between 6.59% and 9.72% (2023: 6.50% - 8.49%). A 0.5% increase/decrease in the effective interest rate

would result in a decrease/increase in after tax profit and equity of $126,000.

Green Cross Health Limited and all its subsidiaries provided guarantees and indemnities in favour of the lenders covering

all loans held by the Parent and subsidiary companies. Loans provided by BNZ to partnership subsidiaries are covered by a

General Security Agreement over the individual business assets.

At balance date, the Group has undrawn banking facilities of $32.5m (2023: $40.2m). The debt facilities held with both BNZ

and Bank of China mature December 2027.

Borrowings and advances accounting policy

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, including directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial

recognition, borrowings are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Performance Share Rights

Performance Share Rights (PSRs) were offered to some senior executives, commencing 1 April 2019. Under the scheme

PSRs are issued to participants which give them the rights to receive ordinary shares in the Company after a three year

period, subject to certain vesting and other conditions being met. The fair value is measured at grant date and amortised

over the vesting period. The vesting of the PSRs is subject to the Company achieving performance hurdles relating to the

growth of its earnings per share over a three year measurement period. There is no exercise price for these performance

rights and there is no right to dividends during the vesting periods.

Vesting is contingent upon audited financial statements, therefore PSRs which meet the vesting criteria will vest in the

financial year following the end of the PSR period.

The shares granted during the current financial period have a fair value of $200,000 (2023: $220,000) which is calculated

using the weighted average price of shares through the NZX over the one month period prior to the date of the Company’s

results announcement for the financial year ended 31 March 2023 (2023: 31 March 2022).

The total expense recognised in the year to 31 March 2024 in relation to the PSRs was $100,000 (2023: $194,000).

176,693 PSR's were vested during the year.

22Financial instruments

The Group is party to financial instruments as part of its normal operations. Financial instruments include cash and cash

equivalents, borrowings, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables.

Financial instruments are initially recognised at their fair value less transaction costs, and subsequently measured at their

amortised cost. A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the

instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets

expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and

rewards of the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are

discharged or cancelled.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost.

Risk management policies are used to mitigate the Group’s exposures to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk that arise

in the normal course of operations.

Credit Risk

The Group’s maximum credit risk resulting from a third party defaulting on its obligations to the Group is represented by the

carrying amount of each financial asset on the statement of financial position. The Group is not exposed to any material

concentrations of credit risk other than its exposure within the retail pharmacy and government sectors. The Group

monitors credit limits on a monthly basis. All credit facilities to external parties are provided on normal trade terms

(unsecured, to a maximum of 45 days). At any one time, the Group generally has amounts owed to and amounts owed by

the same counterparty, although no legal right of set-off exists. The Parent company holds direct debit authorities for

amounts payable under the contractual terms of its franchise agreements. The Parent regularly monitors the credit ratings

issued, and any qualifications to those ratings, to the financial institutions (and those of the ultimate parent financial

institution) used by the Group.

The status of trade receivables and contract assets at reporting date is as follows:

The Group’s exposure to credit risk for trade receivables, which includes contract assets with the government is influenced

mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The creditworthiness of a customer or counterparty is determined

by a number of qualitative and quantitative factors. Qualitative factors include external credit ratings (where available),

payment history and strategic importance of customer or counterparty. Quantitative factors include transaction size, net

assets of customer or counterparty, and ratio analysis on liquidity, cash flow and profitability.

The Group’s cash balances is held with a number of banks with the level of exposure to credit risk considered minimal with

low levels of cash held.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the Group’s ability to meet its contractual obligations. The Group evaluates its liquidity

requirements on an ongoing basis. In general, the Group generates sufficient cash flows from its operating activities to

meet its obligations arising from its financial liabilities and has credit lines in place to cover potential shortfalls. The following

table sets out the contractual cash flows for financial liabilities that are settled on a gross cash flow basis:

Capital management

The Group’s capital includes share capital and retained earnings. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed

capital requirements.

The allocation of capital between its specific business segments’ operations and activities is, to a large extent, driven by the

optimisation of the return achieved on the capital allocated. The process of allocating capital to specific business segment

operations and activities is undertaken independently of those responsible for the operation.

The Group’s policies in respect of capital management and allocation are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors.

The carrying amount of the Group’s on-balance sheet financial instruments including trade and other receivables, cash and

cash equivalents, borrowings and trade payables, closely approximate their fair values as at 31 March 2024 and 31 March

2023. The assessment of fair value relating to borrowings was determined by reference to observable market data (level 2).

23Related parties

The Group has commercial franchise agreements with stores relating to marketing levies and franchise fees. The Group

also enters into transactions on behalf of the stores which are on-charged. These transactions comprise items such as

training courses, supplier agreements, central advertising campaigns, loyalty card costs, and IT related costs. The Parent

has leased some equipment which is on-leased to associate companies. The Parent performs accounting services, based

on agreed terms, for some of the stores and medical centres.

The Parent has shareholder agreements with the other shareholders of the associates. The agreements set out the return

on investment/profit sharing arrangements relating to these investments.
