Radius Care Provides Update on 1QFY25 and Strategy at ASM



Financial Performance FY25

Radius Residential Care Limited (NZX: RAD) (Radius Care) advises that trading was

strong for the first quarter of FY25, with all key metrics being ahead of first quarter

FY24’s equivalent metrics.


Strong 1Q25 trading includes:

- Increased occupancy and Underlying EBITDAR

1

per bed (vs 1QFY25 and FY24).

- Interest costs have decreased from $2.4m in 1QFY24 to $1.7m in 1QFY25.

- Strong village unit resales progress, with all vacant stock under contract and

expected to settle in calendar year 2024.


We reiterate our earlier guidance that our key metrics for full year FY25 are expected

to exceed the equivalent FY24 metrics despite having one less care home (Arran

Court).

Additional Lease Opportunities

Radius Care is pleased to announce that it has signed a non-binding

Memorandum of Understanding with Senior Trust. This provides Radius Care an

opportunity to work with retirement village operators to provide best-in-class,

premium care solutions for their villages. This represents a significant step in

Radius Care’s growth strategy to provide care in new, purpose-built care homes.

This arrangement is expected to add up to 400 new beds over a five-year period,

with the first two projects currently being worked on.


Annual Shareholders’ Meeting

Radius Care is holding its Annual Shareholders’ Meeting online and at the Hyundai

Marine Sports Centre today at 10:30am.

Copies of the presentation and Chair and CEO addresses are attached.

Radius Residential Care Limited

Annual Shareholders’ Meeting 2024

EXECUTIVE CHAIR’S ADDRESS – BRIEN CREE


At Radius Care, we have a laser focus on delivering exceptional care. We take pride in being

New Zealand's leading provider of high acuity, aged residential care, dedicated to ensuring the

well-being of our residents as they age gracefully within our communities. With a deep

understanding of what quality and individualised care entails, we operate 23 aged care homes

and four vibrant retirement villages spanning from as far north as the Bay of Islands to the

southernmost city of Invercargill.

Our journey began over twenty years ago, with just one care home, and a strong personal

motive for building a business that puts quality care at the heart of its operations. Through our

unique processes, systems, culture, and people, we’ve since developed ‘the Radius Way’,

which we believe distinguishes us from all other aged care operators. Andrew will explain in

further detail what sets us apart, but fundamentally, we know how to deliver care efficiently

through our care teams, our high acuity mix of care, and our distinguished brand.

Our business comprises three main revenue streams - aged care, independent living units or

retirement village units, and adjacent businesses that align with our core offering.

Our aged care business continues to perform very well with high occupancy and certification

levels, and a strong reputation for excellence in clinical care. Our 23 care homes offer a

spectrum of specialist services, focusing on the higher acuity segments of care (including

hospital, dementia, psychogeriatric, physical and intellectual care) and are supported by our

highly engaged, exceptional people who are dedicated to delivering the best health outcomes

possible to our residents.

Our retirement villages performed strongly in FY24, returning record resale gains throughout

the year.

In recent years, we've leveraged 'the Radius Way' across various adjacent businesses and

continue to seek out opportunities to diversify our revenue. RConnect, our own aged care

nursing agency, has generated significant revenue for Radius and continues to perform very

well as we seek to expand this further. We’ve also branched out beyond aged care into private

home care, and complementary health services. Our online Radius Shop is growing and

producing stable revenue.

As our momentum with the Radius Way continues, we are looking to grow our adjacent

offerings to further capitalise on our unique product and services. To this end, we have signed

a Memorandum of Understanding with Senior Trust. This is an exciting first step in our plan to

provide care in new, purpose-built care facilities developed by Senior Trust clients under a

leasehold arrangement for retirement village operators who require our specialist expertise.

This is expected to add up to 400 new beds over a 5-year period. The first two projects are

being worked on at the moment. In addition, we are exploring various opportunities to offer

leasehold care to other large aged care providers.

And in terms of other adjacent opportunities, we are currently in discussions with Cibus

Catering to acquire a shareholding in their business.

Development of our villages and care homes continues to be carefully considered where it is

value-enhancing based on market conditions. For example, from mid-2025 we plan to begin

developing Northwood village in Christchurch.

Andrew will speak to our financial performance in more detail, but FY24 has been an

outstanding year for Radius. Our key metric, EBITDAR per bed, which is our measure of the

financial performance of our core business of care, was an industry-leading $25k per bed. This

is a record for Radius Care and one which we are extremely proud of. In addition, borrowings

were significantly reduced, and other key metrics broke new records.

Our strong performance enabled us to resume dividends, and a final dividend of 0.70 cents

per share was declared in May. The Board is targeting a return to the previous cycle of an

interim dividend paid in December and a final dividend paid in June of each year.

The senior management team at Radius Care was enhanced in 2023 by the recruitment of

Jeremy Edmonds as Chief Financial Officer and Shereen Singh was appointed as General

Manager of RConnect. Both Jeremy and Shereen have already proven to be excellent additions

to our team, as shown by Radius’s strong commercial performance in FY24.

Tom Wilson was elected to the Board at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in August last year

and brings a wealth of experience in strategic leadership. Over the past year, our entire Board

has been extremely active and engaged, demonstrating their high sector knowledge and keen

strategic focus, and I’d like to acknowledge them for their ongoing support and commitment

to our business.

We continue to be the leaders in aged care in New Zealand and as always, we owe enormous

thanks to our residents and their families for their continued support, and to our exceptional

people for their resilience and passion for delivering exceptional care.

As we continue implementing The Radius Way across diversified revenue streams, including

RConnect, Radius Shop, in-home services, targeted M&A and development, a strengthened

balance sheet and a bespoke operational model, we are in a strong position to deliver on our

promise of continuing to provide industry-leading care and generating value for our

stakeholders.

Radius Residential Care Limited

Annual Shareholders’ Meeting 2024

CEO’S ADDRESS – ANDREW PESKETT


Brien’s update on strategy and key highlights of the past, present and future of Radius,

demonstrate that we are making excellent strides in all key areas of our business.

This is underscored by our record operating and financial performance for FY24, which by

many measures was outstanding. As always, it is our exceptional people with a clear focus on

our purpose that has guided us to reach such success. These are our nurses, our healthcare

assistants, activities coordinators, gardeners, maintenance people, kitchen workers, and all

others at Radius working tirelessly to provide the ultimate level of care to our residents. The

huge responsibility and importance of their work does not go unnoticed, and it is their

dedication and drive that in turn brings Radius shareholders returns on their investment.

Before I talk more on our wonderful people, I want to bring your attention to what makes

Radius Care different from other operators.

We think it is down to a number of different elements, which you’ll see on the slide here.

First, it’s our culture that sets us apart. We have a highly-focused, lean, commercial care team

with intense rigour on results and decisive, quick decisions. We operate like an owner

operator, and there is strong alignment between the Board and the Executive Team.

Secondly, intellectual property. This is our systems, our management structure and our

processes which are designed to maximise commercial and clinical outcomes, as evidenced

by our certification results.

The size and configuration of our portfolio also make us different. Our care homes are built at

scale, with predominantly over 60 care beds in each, and we tend to cluster our care homes

into groups for efficiency. We have a higher acuity mix than most operators, which includes

hospital, dementia, psychogeriatric, physical and intellectual care, as well as ACC. These

beds generate significantly more revenue than standard rest home beds.

Our brand and reputation set us apart from other providers. This comes from having a strong

founder presence, with over two decades built up of caring for our communities. Our

advertising is strong, well-known and backed by a personal story which is a compelling

proposition for our customers and residents. We have a reputation for quality care and we

consistently deliver on that promise which further enhances our standing in the market.

And finally, what we are not – we are not a retirement village developer. While we have four

villages, this is not our primary business, and as such we are not dependent on retirement

village sales, development margins, and fluctuations in the property market. This sets us apart

from the big listed players which are largely retirement village developers and operators.

Moving on now to our people, our most treasured resource. Having tackled major labour

shortages over 2023 to 2024, we are now fully staffed which has enabled us to improve

occupancy, resident satisfaction, and commercial outcomes.

Our employees are more engaged than they’ve ever been - with a record employee net

promoter score of 74 for our Care Home Managers. Added to that, 60% of our Regional and

Care Home Managers have been promoted from within the business, which shows that we are

hiring and retaining the right people who are dedicated to Radius and the work that we do.

Our company-wide staff turnover has been sharply trending down and is now sitting at 29%,

with our RN turnover now below industry at 27%. This further underscores our high levels of

employee engagement and the great work our People team is doing to retain high-performing

staff.

90% of our new hires love their jobs – a massive endorsement of Radius Care’s outstanding

culture.

We also recently launched an empowering training programme for new Internationally

Qualified Registered Nurses – and we’ve so far trained over 100 registered nurses, setting us

up for success in the future.

Our latest care home audit results demonstrate the top-tier quality of our care home staff. In

our last twelve audits, we have achieved or have been informed that we will achieve the

maximum certification. We are confident that our upcoming audits will similarly obtain more

four-year certifications. These results highlight our clinical excellence and are also a lead

indicator to stronger commercial outcomes, as families of prospective residents frequently

scrutinise care home certification records before making admission decisions.

In recognition of the incredible service of our people, the Board has approved the issuance of

a long-service loyalty share scheme which provides those employees who have been with

Radius Care for 10 years or more to a bonus issue of shares to the value of $1,000.

Before I move on to cover the FY24 results, I want to extend an enormous thanks to all our

amazing nurses, carers and all our exceptional team who provide uncompromised care and

support to our residents at Radius care homes around the country. Thank you for your

unwavering resilience, positivity and professionalism in caring for our residents, day in, day

out. I am very proud to work for an organisation with such a focus on care and its people, one

that Brien has been instrumental in creating.

Now moving briefly to comment on our results from FY24, as Brien touched on earlier, Radius

Care had an outstanding year in terms of its financial performance.

Our underlying EBITDA was 47% up on FY23, at $20.9m. And our key metric, EBITDAR per

occupied care bed, was $24.7k, 24% up on FY23, which continues to be market-leading.

Net debt reduced by 26.5% to $73.5m, with no short-term debt remaining, leading to a

strengthened balance sheet.

Our strong, record performance was due to an improved mix of higher revenue hospital and

specialist care residents, increased accommodation supplement revenue, strong resale

gains at villages, a successful cost-out programme, and growth in adjacent offerings such as

RConnect. We are very proud of our result, but we are not taking the foot off the accelerator

yet, and continue to strive for new records and excellent returns for our shareholders, based

on strategic, carefully executed, commercial decisions.

Speaking of which, as Brien touched on earlier, our laser focus on high acuity care, expansion

into adjacent offerings, and strategic acquisitions, is setting us up well for future success.

We are well-positioned to capitalise on a market that is increasingly in need of high acuity and

speciality care. Our full continuum of care will be able to meet that demand, particularly as

we grow our reach (through the likes of leasing and acquiring care homes, expanding our aged

care nursing bureau, RConnect, developing selected villages and facilities, and targeting new

opportunities to provide more care to elderly New Zealanders).

With the expansion into private home care and ACC, an increased focus on looking after

residents, and the growth of the Radius Shop, we are further diversifying our core revenue

streams by providing additional service offerings and investment opportunities.

I’d like to now provide an update on how the business is tracking in the first quarter of FY25.

We are constantly looking at ways to continuously improve, both at our 23 fantastic care

homes and at support office. Trading has been strong in the first quarter of FY25 with all key

metrics ahead of FY24. We reiterate that our key metrics for our full year FY25 results are

expected to exceed FY24 metrics.

Our funding increase from the government has been confirmed, effective from 1 July 2024 at

3.2%, slightly more than we had budgeted.

And interest costs have decreased from $2.4m to $1.7m.

Our village unit resales are strong, with all vacant stock under contract and expected to settle

in calendar year 2024.

Finally, our growth strategy is firmly in place with the as mentioned Senior Trust leasehold

interests well-progressed and several other opportunities being actively pursued.

We reiterate our earlier guidance that our key financial metrics will exceed our FY24 numbers

despite having one less care home (Arran Court).

In closing, we are excited about what the future holds for Radius Care. It is a great time to be

a shareholder of Radius, with the horizon looking promising. Our continued focus on

commercial intensity, delivery of exceptional care, and our dynamic growth trajectory

positions us favourably for the future.

Thank you to all our shareholders, including those in the room and those online, for the chance

to present Radius Care’s journey and excellent progress to you today.

As leaders in providing essential and specialist healthcare services we are fully committed to

our purpose and mission of delivering exceptional care and driving great returns for you all.

me. I look forward to answering any questions after my speech, chatting to you all after the
