Vital announces FY25 First Quarter Results

Operational Update5 November 2024VHPReal Estate

Dear Unit Holders,
This quarterly update provides an overview of activities and

achievements over the 3 months ended 30 September 2024.

Opening of Ormiston Expansion by the Prime Minister

In October 2024, New Zealand’s Prime Minister, Christopher

Luxon, officially opened the NZ$38m expansion of Ormiston

Hospital in Auckland. Health Minister Shane Reti and Minister

for Science, Innovation and Technology Judith Collins also

attended.

Ormiston Hospital is operated by a subsidiary of Southern

Cross Healthcare. With 5 operating theatres and 40 private

in-patient rooms, it is the largest private hospital in the former

Counties Manukau District Health Board area in southern

Auckland, a rapidly growing catchment area with over

500,000 residents. The 4,500 square metre expansion

doubled the size of this hospital providing additional capacity

for the >250 hospital surgeons and staff as well as specialist

space for cancer treatment.

Vital owns land adjoining the expanded hospital and

planning is already underway for further expansions.

25 years on the NZX

During the quarter, Vital celebrated 25 years of being listed

on the NZX. The NZX has provided Vital with significant

benefits over this quarter century generating attractive risk

adjusted returns for our Unit Holders whilst creating and/or

renewing the health infrastructure that New Zealanders and

Australian’s need and access every day.

Highlights over the last 25 years include:

1. Compound return of 8.8% per annum outperforming the

S&P/NZX50 Index by 0.9%

2

per annum and the S&P/

NZX All Real Estate Index by 2.5%

3

per annum.

2. Asset base has increased from ~NZ$200m at IPO

to NZ$3.2b at 30 September 2024 including an

expansion into Australia.

In October 2024, GRESB again announced Vital as

a Global Sector Leader (the highest possible award)

for ESG across development for listed healthcare

globally (among other achievements)

We have recorded 25 years of providing high-quality

healthcare facilities for our operating partners and

their patients as well as growing investment returns for

Vital’s investors. With growing demand for healthcare

services across New Zealand and Australia as a result

of growing and ageing populations, technological

advances and better collaboration between public

and private healthcare systems, we remain optimistic

for Vital’s next 25 years.

Since Vital released its Annual Results in August, A$43.3m

(~NZ$47.4m) of non-core assets have been sold being:

1. Hirondelle Private Hospital for A$24m; and

2. Brighton Private Hospital for A$19.3m.

In addition, a further ~NZ$80m is in due diligence which,

if it proceeds, would more than achieve the previously

announced target of at least NZ$100m of sales during

FY25 to fund Vital’s development pipeline. In addition, Vital

has ~NZ$110m of assets which are considered non-core

which may be sold if conditions are supportive to bring to

an end this sale programme.

Development

Financial

During the quarter, the Maitland Private Hospital

mental health, oncology and parking expansion

reached practical completion. Vital now has 4

committed developments with a total development

cost of ~NZ$239m excluding land of which

~NZ$106m is remaining to be spent, and able to

be funded from existing debt capacity.

NZ$197m of development work completed

in FY24 across four sites

Vital recorded 3.5% growth in Operating Profit

compared to the prior corresponding period.

There was a modest decline in property

values albeit at a slower pace than previously,

leading to a small decline in Vital’s NTA.

Vital’s asset recycling programme kept

balance sheet gearing largely unchanged.

During the quarter ~A$300m of forward start

swaps have been added to the hedge book

(as shown in the chart below).
