OPERATIONAL UPDATE

Promisia Healthcare Limited (Promisia) (NZX: PHL) provide this operational update as we continue to

execute on our strategic growth initiatives and strengthen our position in the aged care sector.

Chief Operating Officer Appointment

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Graeme Dodd as Promisia’s new Chief Operating

Officer, effective 9 June 2025. Graeme will be based at our Christchurch support office and will lead

the operational delivery across Promisia’s aged care and retirement village facilities.

Graeme brings over 20 years of senior leadership experience in the aged care and health sectors,

including time at Radius Care, Qestral, and Triton Hearing. He has a proven track record in driving

operational performance, growing businesses, and leading high-performing teams within the aged

care sector. His background combines strategic capability with strong execution, and he brings a

pragmatic, outcomes-focused approach to leadership.

As COO, Graeme will be responsible for leading Promisia’s care and village operations, driving

operational excellence, embedding consistent systems and processes, and supporting the delivery of

high-quality care across all facilities. His role will be central to delivering on our operational and

strategic priorities for FY26.

The Board is delighted to welcome Graeme to Promisia, as we continue to strengthen our leadership

team and position the business for long-term growth in the aged care and retirement sectors.

Nelson Street Dementia Care Conversion

We are pleased to announce that approval has been secured from Te Whatu Ora for the operation

of a 20-bed dementia care wing at our Nelson Street facility. This project involves the conversion of

existing, unoccupied rest home beds into dedicated dementia care beds, responding to the critical

need for specialised care in the region. Construction is currently underway, and a clinical audit for

formal certification is scheduled for early May.

This initiative is expected to be transformative for Nelson Street, allowing us to enhance service

offerings while strengthening overall operational performance.

Occupancy Update

Below is a summary of average occupancy across our facilities for March 2025 and September 2024:

Care facility March 2025 (%) September 2024 (%) Change

Golden View 93% 97% Decreased

Ripponburn 96% 91% Increased

Ranfurly Manor 97% 92% Increased


Aldwins House 85% 86% Stable

Nelson Street 58% 63% Planned reduction

Promisia Group

1

87% 87%

1. Excludes Eileen Mary, which was sold in November 2024 (announced 13 September, completed 12 November).

Overall, occupancy levels across the group remain strong, with notable increases at Ranfurly Manor

and Ripponburn. The slight decrease at Golden View reflects an unusually low number of dementia

referrals in March, with referral volumes beginning to revert to normal levels in April. Nelson Street’s

temporary decline in occupancy is in line with our planned construction work and will rebound once

the new dementia care wing is operational.

Strong Demand for Retirement Village Villas

Demand for Promisia’s retirement village villas remains strong, with all available villas at Golden

View Lifestyle Village and Ranfurly Manor fully occupied and waiting lists in place. At Ripponburn

Home & Hospital, 12 of the 16 villas are occupied, with the remaining four under contract and

expected to settle in the near term.

This continued demand highlights the appeal of Promisia’s independent living offering, particularly in

a challenging property market where many operators have seen slower sales. Our ability to maintain

full occupancy and generate strong interest is a testament to the quality of our villages and the value

they provide to residents.

Aldwins Road Property Divestment

As part of our ongoing portfolio optimisation, Promisia is divesting two land parcels adjacent to

Aldwins House—74 & 76 Aldwins Road and 60 Aldwins Road. These properties were originally

acquired with a view to potential development; however, after further assessment, we have

determined that redeploying capital into other strategic initiatives will generate stronger long-term

value for the business.

Year-End Outlook and Preliminary Results Timeline

We remain on track to achieve our full-year guidance and expect to deliver double-digit earnings

growth year-on-year. This performance is underpinned by strong existing operations and

contributions from our recent acquisitions. Promisia will publish its preliminary unaudited full-year

results by the end of May 2025.
