Group Commentary
Green Cross Health Group CEO Rachael Newfield, commented, “The company expanded its national
primary care footprint, adding one pharmacy and one medical centre to its portfolio. During the
period our team members have shown resilience navigating through workforce challenges in the
sector and embracing change to prioritise customer needs and patient care.
“The company urges Government action to address key issues in primary healthcare. Annual funding
increases have not kept pace with cost pressures and, at a time when the country’s health system is
under significant pressure, there are further opportunities to extend services pharmacies and
medical centres can provide within communities across New Zealand.”
Pharmacy Division
Revenue in Pharmacy was flat at $182.2m, while Operating Profit for the period increased 3% to $8.9m.
Same store prescriptions grew 7% on prior period, buoyed by nationwide free prescriptions which
concluded on 30 June 2024. The retail environment remains challenging and economic uncertainty
continues to affect consumer spending. A number of strategic and tactical initiatives were deployed
in the period including additional promotional activity to drive store footfall, data-driven space
allocation to maximise returns on floor space and new product ranges, particularly in the beauty
category to broaden the customer demographic.
The Life Pharmacy ecommerce platform was upgraded in August 2024 to enhance the customer
omnichannel experience by enabling click & collect and displaying in-store stock availability. A
strategic partnership with Uber Eats was formed to allow on-demand delivery of pharmacy products
with 91 pharmacies across the network onboarded and 9,000 orders fulfilled since launch. Living
Rewards membership grew 4% compared to 30 September 2023 with the programme fundamental to
increasing customer loyalty and engagement through personalised product and service offers.
One equity investment was completed in the period with ongoing store optimisation resulting in one
relocation, one merger and one store closure while the licensee network ended the period at a net
increase of two stores. Additional investment in dispensing robotics was completed at six pharmacies,
reducing labour costs and providing additional dispensing capacity. To drive growth, pharmacy clinical
services are being expanded with customers making 52,000 online bookings during the period.
Medical Division
Medical Revenue grew 13% to $77.7m, with Operating Profit up 12% to $8.2m driven by organic and
acquisitive growth. Enrolled patients at 30 September 2024 totalled 423,000, an increase of 24,000
since 30 September 2023, representing the largest patient base of any general practice group in New
Zealand.
The migration of 26 medical centres to the National Hauora Coalition Primary Health Organisation
was completed as planned, supporting efficiencies and maximising time spent on patient care.
Investment in one centre and the merger of two centres saw the national footprint at 65 centres. A
review of urgent care performance was completed, resulting in one medical centre ceasing to provide
urgent care and being repositioned to focus solely on general practice services.
Like many sectors, Medical is experiencing workforce challenges. To meet patient needs, the division
is evolving the operating model through recruitment of new roles including enhanced care
paramedics, health improvement practitioners and health coaches, along with the use of nurse-led
clinics and virtual GPs. Investment in growing digital services continued with over 110,000 active
users on The Doctors App, enabling improved patient engagement and service efficiency.
Outlook and Dividend
Financial commentators expect a gradual recovery next year following largely stagnant economic
performance over the second half of calendar 2024. The company will focus on expanding pharmacy
services through the launch of instore Care & Advice Health Hubs across the Life and Unichem
network along with enhanced retail execution and new product ranges to meet customer demand.
Cost control and investment in technology are a priority to support labour efficiencies and improved
patient care. Acquisitive growth remains a strategic focus and is expected to lift as the economy
improves.
The Board has declared an interim dividend of 2.5 cents per share.
