Delivering
Better.
Better Performance.
Better Progress.
Better Care.
At Oceania, striving for better is in our DNA.
Just as our residents have always sought more – more independence,
more connection, more fulfilment – we do the same. In FY25, that drive
came to life through decisive action and focused execution.
Backed by a clear strategy and new leadership, we turned ambition
into momentum. Every decision was guided by purpose, every effort
anchored in outcomes: from stronger financial performance to deeper
community impact.
This report captures how we’re delivering real progress – and sets
a foundation for long term, sustainable success.

Annual Report 2025
Trading highlights
Operating cash flow increased to $110.3m, up 6.7% compared
to $103.4m for the year ending 31 March 2024. This uplift
reflects increased cash receipts from occupation right
agreements which rose to $294.5m, a 30% increase on the
prior corresponding period (pcp) – driven by improved sales
of development stock and increased care earnings per bed.
Sales volumes were also up 9.2% on pcp including a 17.2%
uplift in new sale volumes to 184 independent living units (ILU)
and care suites.
Total Comprehensive Income of $74.6m for the 12 months
ending 31 March 2025, is up 5.8%% from pcp and Net Profit
after Tax of $30.4m, is down 3.5% on pcp.
Total Assets increased to $2.9b and Net Assets increased to
$1.1b at 31 March 2025, up 5.7% and 7.3% respectively. This
increase largely reflects the completion of Elmwood (Auckland),
Waterford (Auckland) and Awatere (Hamilton), alongside the
fair value movements due to the sell down of ILU’s at other sites.
As at 31 March 2025, undrawn net debt headroom was
$97.0m and gearing reduced to 36.3% down from 38.3% as at
31 March 2024. This improvement reflects continued capital
discipline, divestment of non core assets, a sharpened sales
focus and a targeted cost optimisation programme.
Focused Execution
and Solid Returns
Operating cash flow
I am pleased to present the Oceania Healthcare
Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025.
This year Oceania has continued to successfully transform
its portfolio and optimise its operating model. Under new
leadership, Oceania’s purpose, strategy and growth plans
have been further developed for the next 5 years.
Financial Performance
Oceania delivered a solid financial result in FY25 with an
increase in underlying EBITDA and sales volumes despite market
conditions. New development stock continued to be sold down,
a number of developments were completed and, or progressed,
and the divestment of six older non core sites were settled.

Final Dividend
The Directors have resolved not to declare a final dividend.
Work is underway to review our Dividend Policy so that it better
aligns with the operating cashflows of the business. Our revised
Dividend Policy will be announced at the time of the ASM in June.
Leadership and Strategic Execution
Suzanne Dvorak joined as Chief Executive Officer in July 2024 and
has significant sector expertise and a strong focus on operational
delivery and people leadership. She also brings the clarity and
capability to lead the execution of Oceania’s strategic direction
and deliver operational excellence, meaningful outcomes for
residents, employees and stakeholders and sustainable growth.
Under a new sales leadership structure this year, it was pleasing
to see that both new and resales volumes increased by 17.2% and
5.3% respectively.
With respect to the portfolio, this year Waterford (Auckland),
Elmwood (Auckland), Awatere (Hamilton) and Redwood (Blenheim)
developments were completed. Meadowbank Dementia (Auckland)
was completed in May 2025, and good progress was made at
the new development in Franklin (Auckland), with the first villas
and community centre expected to be complete in June 2025.
Planning and site redesign have also been advanced at Lady
Allum (Auckland) and Elmwood (Auckland).
This year, six sites were divested for $33.6m, and the
divestment programme of non core sites continues.
These programmes will contribute to the strengthening of the
Balance Sheet and enable the next phase of growth.
Integrated Thinking, Sustainability and Climate
FY25 marks Oceania’s second year preparing mandatory
climate related disclosures under the Aotearoa New Zealand's
climate reporting regime. During the year, the organisation
built on the progress made in identifying and assessing climate-
related risks and opportunities, advancing this work through
the development of its first transition plan. Oceania’s FY25
disclosures are scheduled for publication in June 2025.
Progress also continued under Oceania’s Sustainability
Framework, launched in FY23, with a continued focus on
sustainable design standards, managing operational waste,
energy efficiency initiatives, and emissions reduction.
Recognition as a finalist in the Sustainability Leadership
category at the Deloitte Top 200 Business Awards reflects
the growing maturity of sustainability as a value driver for
the organisation, and underscores Oceania’s commitment
to embedding sustainability principles into strategy,
operations, and future growth planning.

Elizabeth Coutts – Chair
Governance
Directors maintained close engagement with the business
throughout the year, including onsite visits to a number of
villages across the portfolio. These visits included morning teas
with residents and frontline teams, along with operational site
walkthroughs and health and safety reviews. This engagement
continues to be an important part of the Board’s governance
approach, ensuring that operational realities and resident
experiences are actively reflected in Board level discussions
and decision making.
Oceania advanced its enterprise risk management capability
during FY25, strengthening its resilience across cyber
security, climate risk, regulatory, care funding and care
governance domains.
The Board will continue to oversee the delivery and execution
of the next strategic cycle ensuring Oceania is positioned for
sustainable long term growth.
Looking Ahead
New Zealand’s population is aging and the demand for senior’s
care and accommodation is projected to grow considerably in
line with projected growth in New Zealand’s senior population.
The total population aged 75 years and over is expected to
almost double by 2050, growing from approximately 414,000
today to over 810,000.
The current supply of aged residential care in New Zealand is
inadequate to meet projected growth in the older population.
Rising demand for care, combined with insufficient Government
funding, continues to place significant pressure on aged care
and retirement living providers to ensure adequate supply.
Oceania is and will be well positioned for the future to provide
for the needs of the elderly. The Board remains confident
in the organisation’s ability to complete the delivery of the
current strategic cycle with discipline, while ensuring a smooth
transition to the new Strategic Direction.
The Board extends its thanks to Oceania’s residents and their
families, dedicated employees, and all stakeholders for their
ongoing support and partnership.
Yours sincerely,

Oceania
Annual Report 2025
Letter from the Chair
This year we have focused on improving sales,
streamlining operations, and building on our
strong foundations.
We have already seen positive momentum, delivering a solid
financial result, including increased sales, notwithstanding
market conditions.
As we move into FY26 we are focused on further strengthening
the business and finalising a clear strategic framework to guide
Oceania through its next phase. We are looking forward to
sharing this framework with our shareholders later this year.
Focus on Sales Momentum
Sales momentum accelerated in the second half of FY25, with
new sales volumes increasing by 17.2% and resales up 5.3% on
prior year, despite challenging market conditions. This growth
was driven by a revitalised sales and marketing approach,
refined pricing strategies, and enhanced leadership in sales.
Strong selldown results were achieved across key development
sites. Occupancy increased at The Helier in Auckland with 41%
occupancy as at 20 May 2025 compared to 14% at 31 March 2024.
Driving Change and
Strengthening Foundations.
Suzanne Dvorak
– Chief Executive Officer
Additionally, Oceania successfully completed the full
selldown of independent living apartments at The Bellevue
in Christchurch shortly after year end, within just 24 months.
The new care suite centre at Redwood in Blenheim has reached
62% occupancy in record time with expectations to be fully
occupied within 12 months.
The resultant reduction of unsold stock from $353m to $342m
was the biggest lever to reduce borrowings, which finished the
year at $627.8m, down from $640.5m in March 2024.
Oceania refinanced its syndicated banking facilities in March
2025. The refinance extended debt maturity profiles and
secured optimal terms, including competitive pricing and
unchanged covenant conditions. The refinancing, supported
by existing lenders ANZ, ASB, ICBC and new lender BNZ,
underscores lender confidence and positions Oceania
effectively for continued growth.

Leading in Care and Resident Experience
Care remains Oceania’s greatest strength. Reflecting this, in
FY25 clinical leadership was elevated to the executive level.
We embedded new initiatives under our Fundamentals of Care
framework to strengthen clinical practice and resident outcomes.
This framework defines the essential elements of care that every
resident should consistently experience and underpins Oceania’s
commitment to excellence in care.
Our development strategy includes a significant pipeline of
premium care suites, designed to meet future demand. This
positions Oceania to respond to the sector wide care capacity
gap highlighted in recent reports and media commentary.
Oceania also remained actively engaged in the sector wide review
of the Retirement Villages Act, advocating for reforms that improve
transparency, enhance resident wellbeing, and support the long
term sustainability of the sector.
These initiatives reinforce Oceania’s commitment to enabling
residents to live well with dignity, connection, and choice.
Shaping a Stronger Portfolio for the Future
Oceania maintained a disciplined approach to development,
now focused on capital efficient, staged projects in regions with
particularly strong demand. A flexible near term pipeline has been
established, which balances growth opportunities with prudent
capital management.
Significant progress was made during FY25, including at
Meadowbank in Auckland, where the dementia care centre will
open in early June 2025. At Franklin, construction of the stage
one villas and a community centre is underway, scheduled for
FY26 completion.
Planning continues across Oceania’s strategic land bank to ensure
readiness for future opportunities. During the year we purchased
2.6 hectares of land adjoining our Graceland’s site in Hastings.
This land will be used to extend our existing village with villa
product and care suites.
Work has commenced at Lady Allum in Milford. The demolition
of the old care building has been completed making way for
the construction of a new central precinct which will include
penthouse apartments. Finally, six sites were divested during the
year, enhancing and modernising the portfolio and reducing debt.
With changes to the certification pathways for overseas nurses
recently introduced, a decision was made during the year ended
31 March 2025 to close the Wesley Institute of Nursing Education.
The final course concluded in April 2025.

Letter from the CEO
Empowering our People and Culture
Since joining Oceania in July 2024, I’ve had the opportunity to
visit many of our villages and meet with residents, families, and
team members across New Zealand. These visits have reinforced
that Oceania has a sense of care and responsibility that defines
its culture and fuels the pride our people take in delivering
exceptional experiences.
This year we have simplified our organisational structures and
strengthened leadership capability. This focus on organisational
culture and leadership development has laid important
foundations for the future.
Investment in core systems – including the rollout of
HumanforceHR and SafetyHub – has already delivered
improved workforce insights and more consistent people
management practices.
While there is more work ahead, we are strengthening
the foundation for building a high performing and
connected workforce.
Strengthening the Core
We initiated a right sizing programme in FY25 to reshape the
business and align with Oceania’s future strategy. To date, this
programme has implemented cost savings of $5m that will be
realised in FY26.
Building on this, a broader business optimisation programme is
underway, targeting $10m to $15m of sustainable annualised
savings. So far in FY26, a further $5.2m of cost savings have
been identified with benefits to be realised from 2HY26. Full
benefits will be realised in FY27, with a focus on system
consistency, margin discipline, and operational simplicity.
Over the next 12 months, we will build on recent progress –
sharpening execution and reinforcing leadership capability
ensuring we are well placed to activate our new strategy
from FY27.
This operational optimisation focus is a key step in unlocking
future value as part of our new strategic direction.
“This year we have simplified our organisational structures, strengthened
leadership capability, and increased focus on recognition and reward.”

Setting our Strategic Direction
The Board has approved a new strategic direction to guide
Oceania through its next five years. This strategy was
developed through engagement with the Board, executive team,
employees, and independent consumer research with residents
and families. It reflects both the lessons of the past and a clear
vision for the future.
Our refreshed purpose – “Supporting and empowering
people to live well as they age” – is the anchor for our next
strategic phase.
While grounded in Oceania’s existing strengths, this is not
a simple extension. It is a sharper and more ambitious plan,
designed to meet changing resident expectations, increasing
care needs and a more complex operating environment.
Structured around four refined focus areas – Connected Care,
Inspired Living, Empowered People, and Purposeful Impact –
the strategy will guide planning, investment and operational
decision making across the business.
This strategic direction positions Oceania to lead with
clarity and confidence, supported by a plan that is practical,
measurable, focused on creating value for our shareholders
and it is aligned to what matters most: people, purpose
and performance.
Thank you to our residents and families, our dedicated teams,
and the Board for their continued trust and support. I am proud
to lead Oceania into its next phase of growth and opportunity.

Our value creation model
At Oceania, value is created
through the alignment of our
people, expertise, assets,
and relationships – all
working together to enhance
resident wellbeing and drive
sustainable growth.
Our value creation model

broad range of resources
– or ‘capitals’ – to deliver
meaningful outcomes for
our stakeholders.
These capitals are shaped
by our material impacts and
brought to life through our
strategic pillars.

Our Sustainability Framework
Our Offer
Design, develop, build and sell modern
properties for our residents of the future
Our villages are more than places to
reside – they are homes where quality,
care, and connection create meaningful
living experiences.
From modern residences to innovative
care models, every decision is guided by a
understanding of what makes life fulfilling at
every stage. Our design philosophy ensures
we build vibrant communities that stand the
test of time.
Oceania proudly owns and operates 37
retirement villages and care centres across
New Zealand, offering independent living and
aged care services, all shaped by a commitment
to quality and community. Many of our villages
are intentionally smaller and more intimate,
fostering deeper connections and a strong
local presence.
Recognising every resident has unique
needs, our portfolio offers a diverse range of
living options. One example is our Couples
Care Suites, offered at select sites, enabling
loved ones to stay together as care needs
evolve, easing the stress of separation
during vulnerable times.
We’ve made sustained investment in our care
suite model to ensure it meets resident needs
while delivering sustainable returns. Looking
ahead, Oceania is strategically rebalancing its
portfolio to achieve the right mix of care suites
and independent living units, combining high
density sites with broadacre, integrated villages.
Sustainability is central to our approach. We
design and build with local communities and
the environment in mind. Increasingly, our
independent residences are achieving Homestar
certification from the New Zealand Green
Building Council (NZGBC), reflecting higher
standards of energy efficiency and healthier
living. These credentials support wellbeing
while strengthening Oceania’s position in an
investment landscape that places increasing
value on environmental performance.
As we continue to evolve, we remain focused
on creating exceptional living environments,
fostering community engagement, and
delivering a future ready approach to
care and sustainability.

Oceania strengthens dementia care
offering with new centre at Meadowbank
In June 2025, Oceania’s Meadowbank Village will open its
newest centre – the Ōrākei Building – a purpose built, premium
dementia care centre designed to provide specialist care and
enable residents to remain in a familiar environment as their
needs change.
The centre will initially offer 21 rest home level dementia care suites.
A further 19 suites will be available for hospital level dementia care
following certification from Te Whatu Ora, expected by mid June.
This integrated care approach means residents can transition
between levels of care without the disruption of moving buildings.
The Ōrākei Building completes Meadowbank’s connected care,
extending from independent living through to rest home, hospital,
and now, specialist dementia services.
Supporting continuity, connection, and
personalised care
The centre is built around an integrated, person centred model of
care that supports individual identity, comfort, and independence.
Residents live in a communal environment with shared kitchens,
living spaces, and a secure garden – creating familiar and
homelike environments.
Multi skilled caregivers work within each household, providing
consistent support and building trusted relationships with residents
and their whānau. Oceania’s commitment to resident centred
fundamental care underpins this approach, enabling continuity
of care in an environment that feels both safe and supportive.
Designed for wellbeing and ease
Each suite includes an ensuite to promote independence,
while dementia friendly design features – such as clear
signage, calming colour palettes, and intuitive layouts –
support daily routines and sensory needs.
Shared spaces include green walls, large windows, and
natural light to create a soothing atmosphere. A central
heating and cooling system, along with solar panels and
other energy efficient design elements, reflect Oceania’s
commitment to sustainability.
Residents benefit from a flexible daily rhythm that
includes physical movement, sensory engagement, and
activities aligned to Te Whare Tapa Whā, supporting
holistic wellbeing across physical, emotional, social, and
spiritual dimensions.
“This development is about providing certainty and comfort
at a time when both really matter,” said Suzanne Dvorak,
Chief Executive Officer. “Residents will receive high quality,
personalised care from a team they know – while remaining
in a space that supports their independence and wellbeing.”
The Ōrākei Building represents a new benchmark for
specialist dementia care at Oceania – combining clinical
expertise, thoughtful design, and a genuine commitment
to ageing in place.

Our communities are places where older
New Zealanders can grow, connect, and live
with meaning – supported by personalised care,
trusted relationships, and a sense of belonging.
As New Zealanders live longer and healthier lives,
expectations are shifting. Residents increasingly
seek connection, purpose, and choice, alongside
care. We remain committed to leading the way
in redefining retirement living, delivering a life
enriched by wellbeing, recreation, convenience,
and meaningful support.
We create environments that prioritise
independence, connection and fulfillment
with an emphasis on resident choice. Our Five
Ways to Wellbeing programme reinforces this,
encouraging connection, activity, mindfulness,
learning, and giving.
Our goal is to create communities that feel
like home – where every resident feels valued
and supported.
This is reflected in the full implementation of our
Māori Health Plan, helping care teams engage
with whānau, strengthen understanding of
Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and deliver inclusive care.
We’ve also embedded our Fundamentals of Care
framework, supporting physical, psychological,
social and spiritual needs, with a focus on
the relationship between resident, whānau,
and caregiver.
Innovation is central to Oceania’s approach. Our
Nurse Practitioner Model, now operating in two
thirds of our care centres, enhances continuity
of primary care for our residents. It now extends
to two independent living villages, with plans to
expand. With 13 Nurse Practitioners and a talent
development pathway, we’re building resilience
amid General Practitioner shortages.
To enhance connected living, we continue rolling
out digital solutions like the Oceania Together
App and voice activated media. We also remain
committed to Couples Care Suites, helping loved
ones stay together as care needs evolve.
Looking ahead, we’re focused on creating
meaningful experiences and nurturing
communities where residents truly belong.
Through innovation, personalised care, and
inclusive design, we ensure village life is
enriching and fulfilling.

Coming together to deliver warmth,
one chip packet at a time
What do chips, compassion and community have in common?
At Oceania, they’re part of a story of connection and giving,
where chip packets are no longer just waste. They become a way
to provide warmth, hope, and purpose.
Person centred experiences with purpose
Through the Five Ways to Wellbeing programme, Oceania
continues to create experiences that go beyond care. One initiative
that captured hearts and hands across our villages was the Chip
Packet Project New Zealand (CPPNZ), launched during Recycling
Week – a time to reflect on how we treat our waste, and each other.
A single foil lined packet of chips is consumed in minutes, yet
takes more than 80 years to break down in landfill. With each
New Zealander contributing around 60 kilograms of plastic to
landfill annually, finding creative ways to reduce waste is critical.
Through a new partnership with CPPNZ, empty chip packets have
now found a new purpose – becoming heat reflective survival
blankets for those without shelter.
From waste to warmth
Residents, staff, and families came together to clean, flatten
and donate foil chip packets. At ‘Blanket Parties’ at three of
our villages – Lady Allum in Auckland, Atawhai in Napier, and
Palm Grove in Christchurch, those packets were transformed
into survival blankets – turning what would otherwise be waste,
into a practical resource for those in need.
“The Chip Packet Project is all about giving new life to waste, bringing people together, and
supporting those doing it tough – and our partnership with Oceania embodies that and more.
We’re deeply grateful to the residents and staff, who’ve rolled up their sleeves and put their
hearts into this mahi. Together, we’re not just creating survival items – we’re creating hope,
purpose, and connection.”
Terrena Griffiths, Founder, Chip Packet Project New Zealand
The project was more than just recycling it bought people
together. Residents and teams contributed their time,
energy, and heart to make a difference – connecting
across generations and communities in the process.
Lasting impact
Following its success, Oceania will expand its involvement in
2025-2026 through a national partnership with CPPNZ. More
villages and care centres will take part, continuing to turn
small acts into lasting impact.

Clinical leadership and
everyday excellence
Oceania continues to strengthen clinical leadership and frontline
practice, with a focus on safe, person centred care. This year,
the introduction of Gemba Walks – championed by Director of
Clinical and Care Services, Shirley Ross – reinforced Oceania’s
commitment to connection, accountability, and clinical visibility
at all levels of the organisation.
A leader grounded in care
With more than 38 years of nursing experience, Shirley brings
extensive clinical knowledge and a strong belief in the power of
nurse led care. Her leadership spans hospital wards, aged care
facilities, and health boards, including her former role as Head of
Division for Older People’s Health at Waitematā DHB. Since joining
Oceania, she has elevated both the voice of clinical staff and the
visibility of care delivery – particularly through initiatives like the
Nurse Practitioner Model and Gemba Walks.
Introducing Gemba walks to Oceania
The Gemba Walk programme was introduced after Shirley
attended the International Learning Collaborative (ILC) conference
in Oxford, where she encountered global approaches to restoring
attention to fundamental care. The ILC developed a framework to
ensure patients and residents receive the fundamentals of care
with consistency, dignity, and attention. Shirley adapted this
concept for Oceania.
Today, Gemba Walks are embedded across the organisation –
from clinical managers walking daily alongside teams in care
centres, to board members and executives joining monthly walks.
By encouraging leaders to spend time where care happens, the
approach has strengthened understanding, improved early issue
resolution, and created space for shared learning and connection.
Everyday excellence in action
For Shirley, it’s a return to what matters most. “We have
extraordinary people working in aged care – compassionate,
capable, and dedicated. Our job as leaders is to stay close,
stay visible, and keep listening.”
In 2025, Shirley will return to the ILC conference – this time,
to share Oceania’s progress and present how Gemba Walks
are driving everyday excellence and building a culture where
fundamental care is everyone’s business.
A Gemba Walk is a workplace walk through designed to observe, ask questions, and identify both good and poor practice. The
concept comes from the Japanese word “Gemba” or “Gembutsu” meaning “the real place” – often defined in aged care as the
place where work happens: beside the resident.
At Oceania, Gemba Walks are led by the Clinical team across our care centres. Clinical Managers conduct daily walks, while
Regional Clinical Managers and the Support Office clinical team participate monthly. By engaging teams in conversations
about clinical workflows, interacting with residents, and observing care in real time, Gemba Walks increase connection, surface
opportunities for improvement, and create space for staff and residents to share ideas. The approach supports stronger
engagement and empowers teams to continuously elevate care.

We’re focused on sustainable growth that
delivers lasting value for our investors, residents,

approach ensures that our decisions balance
shareholder returns with care for our residents,
our people, and the environment.
In FY25, our strategic focus led to increased
sales, reduced debt, a disciplined development
pipeline and an optimised business model. These
initiatives are generating long term savings while
advancing our Sustainability Framework.
With New Zealand’s over 75 population
projected to more than double by 2048, we’re
responding with a clear strategy for sustainable,
profitable growth.
In response to recent market pressures, we
adopted a more flexible short term development
pipeline, reducing gearing while maintaining
growth. In line with this, we divested six non
core sites in FY25.
Historically, our development focused on
brownfield sites. As these decline, we're
entering a new chapter targeting select
greenfield projects while continuing the focus
on maintenance of our portfolio. These allow
us to design communities that support local
economies, reduce environmental impact
through Homestar and Green Star certification,
and generate long term investor value.
Our $500 million sustainability linked loan, now
in its third year, underscores our disciplined
growth approach. Refinanced in March
2025, we secured a new syndicate member,
optimal pricing, and extended tenor, all while
maintaining existing covenants and associated
social and environmental goals.
We’re delivering against emissions reduction
targets and increasing supply chain
transparency, aiming to align 72.5% of suppliers
by spend, covering category 1 purchased goods
and services and category 2 capital goods, with
science based targets in FY27.
We’ve invested in maturing our risk framework
and embedding a strong culture of risk
awareness. Our second Climate Related

Looking ahead, we remain focused on value
creation, operational excellence, and long term
planning, delivering sustainable outcomes for
our residents, people, and stakeholders.

Sales performance and
market momentum
Oceania saw a strong rebound in unit sales in FY25, with 520
units sold – a 9% increase on the prior year. The uplift reflects the
success of targeted marketing, refreshed pricing strategies, and
renewed energy across the sales team. Progress also continued
on the sell down of unsold stock.
A clear value proposition
The renewed momentum comes despite broader softness in the
residential property market and demonstrates the strength of
Oceania’s integrated care and lifestyle proposition. Across multiple
open days, microsites, and resident information sessions, interest
from prospective residents remained high – particularly among
those exploring both lifestyle and care needs in one place.
Leadership driving engagement
Sales and marketing activity was led by Stephen Lester, who
joined Oceania as Chief Sales and Marketing Officer in November
2024. Stephen brings experience in customer engagement and
sales strategy, and works closely with Fiona Cameron, General
Manager Sales, who stepped into the role in July 2024.
Together, they’ve focused on lifting team capability and visibility
across Oceania’s villages – ensuring sales teams are better
connected to both prospective residents and the care teams
supporting them.

Annual Report 2025
Notes to the Consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
General Information
1.1 Basis of Preparation
(i) Entities Reporting
The consolidated financial statements of the Group are for the economic entity comprising
Oceania Healthcare Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together “the Group”). Refer to
note 5.5 for details of the Group structure.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of
Oceania Healthcare Limited as at 31 March 2025 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year
then ended.
The Group owns and operates various care centres and retirement villages throughout
New Zealand. The Group's registered office is Level 26, HSBC Tower, 188 Quay Street, Auckland,
1010, New Zealand.
(ii) Statutory Base
Oceania Healthcare Limited is a limited liability company which is domiciled and incorporated
in New Zealand. It is registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a FMC Reporting Entity in
terms of Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is also listed on the NZX
Main Board (“NZX”) and the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) as a foreign exempt listing. The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
NZX and ASX listing rules, and Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
The consolidated 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”), International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”) and other applicable New Zealand Financial Reporting Standards, as
appropriate for for-profit entities. The Group is a Tier 1 for-profit entity in accordance with XRB A1.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern
basis of accounting, which assumes that the Group will be able to realise its assets and discharge
its liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due into the foreseeable future.
The Consolidated Balance Sheet has been prepared using a liquidity format.
(iii) Measurement Basis
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention,
as modified by the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities, including investment properties,
certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivatives.
(iv) Key Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS requires
the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise their
judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting
estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Estimates and judgements
are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions
and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the
following notes:
• Classification of accommodation with a care or service offering (note 3)
• Fair value of investment property and investment property under development (note 3.1)
• Fair value of freehold land and buildings (note 3.2)
• Classification and fair value of held for sale facilities (note 3.3)
• Revenue recognition of deferred management fees (note 3.4)
• Recognition of deferred tax (note 5.1)
37
Oceania
Annual Report 2025
Notes to the Consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1.2 Accounting Policies
(i) New Accounting Standards
No changes to accounting policies have been made during the year and the Group has not
early adopted any standards, amendments or interpretations to existing standards that are not
yet effective.
In May 2024 the External Reporting Board issued NZ IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in
Financial Statements ('NZ IFRS 18'), effective for reporting periods commencing on or after 1
January 2027. This accounting standard is expected to change the presentation of the Group's
Statement of Comprehensive Income and may introduce additional note disclosures. NZ IFRS 18
does not impact the financial position, financial performance or cash flows of the Group. Other
standards, amendments and interpretations which are not yet effective are not expected to have a
material impact on the Group.
(ii) Treatment of Interest Paid in Consolidated Cash Flow Statement
The Group has amended its accounting policy regarding the presentation of interest paid in the
Consolidated Cash Flow Statement in the current year to better align with underlying drivers of
debt. Previously, all interest paid has been presented in cash flows from operating activities.
Interest paid in relation to funds drawn for use in the development of investment property or
property, plant and equipment is now presented in cash flows from investing activities.
The change in presentation of the capitalised interest cash outflows from operating activities
to investing activities provides more relevant, and reliable information as this aligns with other
retirement village operators’ financial statements in the retirement village sector.
The 31 March 2024 comparative numbers have been restated to reflect these changes in the
Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. The impact of these changes to the 31 March 2024 position
is as follows:
• Net cash inflow from operating activities has increased by $18.0m from $85.4m to $103.4m.
• Net cash outflows from investing activities have increased by $18.0m from $161.2m to $179.2m.
The impact on the 31 March 2025 position is as follows:
• Net cash inflow from operating activities has increased by $18.4m from $91.9m to $110.3m.
• Net cash outflows from investing activities have increased by $18.4m from $81.9m to $100.3m.
(iii) Measurement of Fair Value
The Group classifies its fair value measurement using the fair value hierarchy that reflects the
significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the
following levels.
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs).
The carrying amount of all financial assets and liabilities is considered to approximate their
fair value.
1.3 Significant Events and Transactions
(i) Disposal of leasehold interest
On 31 August 2023, in the comparative period, the Group exited the Wesley Care Centre, Mt Eden,
Auckland. The site was leased from the owner Airedale Property Trust and the lease was not
extended beyond the expiry date.
(ii) Disposal of held for sale and Investment Property sites
During the year ended 31 March 2025 a total of six sites were divested for proceeds totalling
$33.8m. The sites divested were Takanini (Auckland), Holmwood (Christchurch), Middlepark
(Christchurch), Victoria Place (Tokoroa), Totara Park (Warkworth) and Otumarama (Nelson).
The aggregate loss on sale of these sites is $0.9m and has been recognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income. (March 2024: three sites, total sales proceeds $19.9m).
While the Group continues to operate a divestment programme there are no sites which meet the
accounting definition of held for sale as at 31 March 2025. Refer note 3.

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1.3 Significant Events and Transactions (continued)
(iii) Weather Events: Auckland Floods and Cyclone Gabrielle
A number of significant weather events occurred in New Zealand during January and February
2023. The Group owns and operates a number of sites in the Auckland and Hawkes Bay regions
which were impacted by these events. Agreement was reached with insurers during May 2024 in
relation to the Auckland Floods and Cyclone Gabrielle. Refer to Notes 3.1 and 3.2 for impact on fair
value in the prior period, no impact in the current period.
1.4 Market Capitalisation
At balance date, the market capitalisation of the Group (being the 31 March 2025 closing share
price, as quoted on the NZX Main Board, multiplied by the number of shares on issue) was
below the carrying amount of the Group’s net assets and shareholders’ funds. In considering the
difference, the Group notes that over 90% of total assets at 31 March 2025 are property assets
carried at fair value as assessed by CBRE Limited. Colliers Limited were also engaged to perform
a review of the CBRE Limited valuation of certain sites in the portfolio comprising 43% of the total
value of property assets. This review supported the CBRE Limited valuation.
2. Operating Performance
2.1 Operating Segments
The Group's chief operating decision maker is the Board of Directors.
The operating segments have been determined based on the information reviewed by the Board
of Directors for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The assets
and liabilities of the Group are reported to the chief operating decision maker in total not by
operating segment.
The Group operates in New Zealand and comprises three segments; care operations, village
operations and other.
Information regarding the operations of each reportable segment is included below. Amongst other
criteria, performance is measured based on segmental underlying earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”), which is the most relevant measure in evaluating the
performance of segments relative to other entities that operate within the aged care and retirement
village industries.
Additional segmental reporting information
Capital expenditure: Refer to note 3 for details on capital expenditure.
Goodwill: Goodwill is allocated to care cash generating units.
What is Total Comprehensive Income?
Total comprehensive income is a measure of the total performance of all segments under
NZ GAAP. It includes fair value movements relating to the Group’s care centres and cash
flow hedges.

Underlying net profit after tax (“Underlying Profit”)
Underlying Profit and Underlying EBITDA are non-GAAP measures of financial performance and
considered in the determination of dividends. The calculation of Underlying Profit and Underlying
EBITDA requires a number of estimates to be approved by the Directors in their preparation. Both
the methodology and the estimates may differ among companies in the retirement village sector.
Underlying Profit and Underlying EBITDA do not represent cash flow generated during the year.
The Group calculates Underlying Profit and Underlying EBITDA by making the following
adjustments to reported Net Profit after Tax:
Total comprehensive income / (loss) for the year
attributable to shareholders of the parent

sale assets and financial instruments.

Resale gain – Underlying Profit
The Directors’ estimate of realised gains on resales of ORA units and care suites (i.e. the difference
between the incoming resident’s ORA licence payment and the ORA licence payment previously
received from the outgoing resident) is calculated as the net cash flow received, and receivable
at the point that the ORA contract becomes unconditional and has either “cooled off” (the
contractual period in which the resident can cancel the contract) or where the resident is in
occupation at balance date.
Development margin – Underlying Profit
The Directors’ estimate of realised development margin is calculated as the ORA licence payment
received, and receivable, in relation to the first sale of new ORA units and care suites, at the point
that the ORA contract becomes unconditional and has either “cooled off” or where the resident
is in occupation at balance date, less the development costs associated with developing the ORA
units and care suites. Where the development has been acquired in a business combination the
development costs are equal to the purchase price.
The Directors’ estimate of realised development margin for conversions is calculated based on the
difference between the ORA licence payment received, and receivable, in relation to sales of newly
converted ORA units and care suites, at the point that the ORA contract becomes unconditional
and has either “cooled off” or where the resident is in occupation at balance date, and the
associated conversion costs.

The table below describes the composition of development and conversion costs.
IncludedNew builds:
• the construction costs directly attributable to the relevant project, including any required
infrastructure (e.g. roads) and amenities related to the units (e.g. landscaping) as well as any
demolition and site preparation costs associated with the project. The costs are apportioned
between the ORA units and care suites, in aggregate, using estimates provided by the project
quantity surveyor. The construction costs for the individual ORA units or care suites sold are
determined on a prorated basis using gross floor areas of the ORA units and care suites;
• an apportionment of land value based on the gross floor area of the ORA units and care suites
developed. The value for Brownfield

1 Brownfield land refers to land previously utilised by, or part of, an operational aged care centre or retirement village.
2 The timing of a change of use is a Directors’ estimate. It is based on a range of factors including evidence of steps taken to secure a resource consent and/
or building consent for a particular development or stage of a development and the decommissioning of existing operations (either through the buy-back of
existing village ORA units or decommissioning of an existing care centre). Note the cost of buybacks is not included in the development cost as an independent
fair value of the land on an unencumbered basis is used as the value ascribed to the development land.
3 Greenfield land refers to land not previously utilised by, or as part of, an operational aged care centre or retirement village. Greenfield land is typically bare
(undeveloped) land at the time of purchase.

Deferred management fees – care suitesRental income – residents without a long

Accounting Policy
Revenue is recognised in accordance with NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(“NZ IFRS 15”). Deferred management fees and rental income are considered leases under NZ IFRS
16 Leases (“NZ IFRS 16”), and are therefore excluded from the scope of NZ IFRS 15. None of the
Group’s revenue, as defined by NZ IFRS 15, contains significant financing components.
Rest Home and Hospital Service Fees
A contract is in place with all care residents by means of an admission agreement. The resident
receives the benefit as the care is administered and each resident incurs a contracted daily
care fee. Rest home and hospital service fees are recognised at the point in time the services are
rendered which is specifically linked to the day the service is delivered. Where applicable these are
recognised net of any associated rebates to residents.
Aged care subsidies received from the Ministry of Health, included in rest home, hospital and
dementia fee revenue within the care segment, for the year ended March 2025 amounted to
$107.4m (March 2024: $113.9m).
Premium Accommodation Charges
Premium accommodation charges are payable by residents who occupy a premium room above
the level specified by the Government. The charge is included in their admission agreement and the
charge is recognised when the accommodation is provided.
1 Includes adjustment for material damage insurance in relation to affected properties.
2 Included in Village Operations remains an amount of $2.0m in relation to other insurance income. This insurance income relates to compensation for business
interruption costs and lost gross profits incurred prior to 31 March 2024.

2.2 Revenue (continued)
Deferred Management Fees
Deferred management fees are considered leases and are payable by residents of the Group's
units, apartments and care suites under the terms of their ORA or unit title rights. Refer to note 3.4.
Management fees are typically payable on termination of the ORA up to a maximum percentage
of a resident's occupation licence, or unit title rights, deposit for the right to share in the use and
enjoyment of common facilities.
The timing of the recognition of deferred management fees is a critical accounting estimate
and judgement. The deferred management fee is recognised on a straight line basis over the
average expected occupancy. The expected periods of occupancy are based on historical Group
averages, for the relevant accommodation they are estimated to be 7 years for units and premium
apartments, 5 years for apartments and 3 years for care suites from the date of occupation.
Estimates of deferred management fee tenure are reviewed periodically. Where a change is made,
it is the Group’s policy to recognise the aggregate impact of this change in the period in which the
change in estimate occurs.
Village Service Fees
Village service fees are charged to residents to recover a portion of village operating costs
associated with services provided including staff wages, rates, and electricity. An ORA is in place
with all village residents who receive the benefit of services throughout their stay. Village service
fees are recognised over time as services are rendered.
Training Income
Training income is received from students attending short term training courses at the Wesley
Institute of Nursing Education. Income is recognised when the course is provided. With changes to
the certification pathways for overseas nurses recently introduced, a decision was made during
the year ended 31 March 2025 to close the Wesley Institute of Nursing Education. The final course
concluded in April 2025.
Rental Income
Rental agreements are in place with all rental residents and set out the relevant weekly and
monthly rental fees. The resident receives the benefit throughout their stay and revenue is
recognised as it is earned.

3. Property Assets
The Group operates care centres and retirement villages. As outlined in section 2.1, village sites are
typically investment property and care sites are typically property, plant and equipment.
What is Investment Property?
Land and buildings are classified as investment property when they are held to generate
revenue either through capital appreciation or through rental income.
As residents occupying our retirement villages live independently, the level of services provided
is seen as secondary to the provision of accommodation. Accordingly, these buildings are
classified as investment property as they are held primarily to generate DMF income.
What is Property, Plant and Equipment?
Land, buildings and chattels are classified as property, plant and equipment when
they are used to generate revenue through the provision of goods and services or for
administration purposes.
As residents occupying our care centres, including care suites, require services including
nursing care, meals and laundry the buildings in which they live are considered to be operated
by the Group to generate this revenue and are classified as property, plant and equipment.
What is a Care Suite?
Care suites are a premium offering for a resident requiring rest home or hospital level care. The
care suite is located within a care centre. Rather than pay a daily premium accommodation
charge for the provision of the premium room the residents enter into an ORA with a net
management fee.
What is Held for Sale?
Assets are classified as held for sale when the carrying amount will be recovered principally
through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.
Classification of Serviced Apartments and Care Suites
Where services are provided to residents who occupy accommodation under an ORA, it is the
Group’s policy to assess their level of significance in the context of the overall income derived from
the serviced apartment or care suite in ascertaining whether the serviced apartment or care suite is
freehold land and buildings (referred to as property, plant and equipment) or investment property.
The Group applies the following principles when ascertaining the appropriate accounting
treatment to be applied:

3.1 Village Assets: Investment Property
Accounting Policy
Investment property includes both freehold land and buildings and land and buildings under
development, comprising independent units, serviced apartments and common facilities, provided
for use by residents under the terms of an ORA. Investment property is held for long-term yields
and is not occupied by the Group. Investment property is held at fair value.
The fair value of investment property is determined by the Directors having taken into consideration
the valuation conducted by CBRE Limited as independent registered valuers and the cost of work
undertaken in relation to investment property under development.
The movement in the carrying value of investment property, net of additions, transfers
and disposals is recognised as a fair value movement in the Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Income.
Fair value measurement on investment property under development is only applied if the fair value
is considered to be reliably measurable. Where the fair value of a property under development
can be determined, it is carried at fair value. Where the fair value of investment property under
development cannot be reliably determined, the carrying amount is considered to be the fair value
of the land plus the cost of work undertaken.

Where an incoming resident has an unconditional ORA in respect of a retirement village unit and
the corresponding outgoing resident for that same accommodation has not yet been refunded,
the independent valuation is adjusted for the incoming resident balances only. In certain
circumstances accommodation under an ORA is valued as development land. In these situations
the independent valuation is not adjusted for the refundable amounts and consequently no
offsetting “gross up” is required. An adjustment of $22.6m (March 2024: $18.3m) is included in the
above reconciliation to reflect this.
The valuation of investment property is adjusted for cash flows relating to refundable occupation
licence payments, residents' share of resale gains and management fee receivable recognised
separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and also reflected in the valuation model.
Why do we adjust for the liability to residents?
In the external valuation the fair value of investment property includes an allowance for the
amount that is payable by the Group to residents already in occupation within the property.
However, this liability to existing residents is recognised in the Group’s Consolidated Balance
Sheet (referred to as refundable occupation right agreements – refer to note 3.4). Accordingly,
the Group adds this net liability to residents to the external valuation to “gross up” the fair
value of investment property and avoid double counting the liability to residents.
Valuation Process and Key Inputs
Investment Property under Development
CBRE Limited provided valuations of development land in respect of investment property under
development as at 31 March 2025.
The fair value of investment property is determined by the Directors having taken into consideration
the valuation conducted by the external valuers as independent registered valuers and the cost of
work undertaken in relation to investment property under development.
The Group has applied the following methodology in relation to the measurement of investment
property under development:

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
3.1 Village Assets: Investment Property (continued)
Practical completion not achieved
Where the development still requires substantial work such that practical completion is not going to
be achieved, and a reliable estimate of fair value cannot be made, at or close to balance date, the
fair value recognised is the fair value of the development land per the Directors’ valuation plus the
cost of any work in progress. An amount of $40.9m as at 31 March 2025 (March 2024: $85.9m) has
been recognised in relation to these development sites.
Where an individual development is of both investment property and freehold buildings in nature,
the fair value of land and work in progress is apportioned between investment property under
development and freehold land and buildings under development, by applying the estimated gross
floor area for these respective areas of the development based on information obtained from the
project quantity surveyors at the planning and design stages.
Practical completion achieved
Where a development is practically completed, or likely to be completed at, or close to, balance
date the investment property is measured at its completed fair value per the Directors’ valuation
with an adjustment made for any estimated costs, in accordance with the project budget, to be
incurred to complete the development, and is then transferred to completed investment property.
Completed Investment Property
As required by NZ IAS 40 Investment Property, the valuation of investment property is adjusted for
cash flows relating to refundable occupation licence payments, residents’ share of resale gains and
management fees receivable recognised separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and also
reflected in the valuation model.
Any interest costs incurred on outstanding development debt balances after the completion of
that development are recognised through the Statement of Comprehensive Income, an amount of
$6.3m in the period (March 2024: nil)
The Group's interest in all completed investment property was valued on 31 March 2025 by CBRE
Limited (March 2024: CBRE Limited,) at a total of $919.1m (March 2024: $812.7m).
Property Specific Assumptions
Seismic Assessments
The fair value of investment property, incorporates an allowance in relation to remediation to
properties where seismic strength testing has been carried out.
Weather Events: Auckland Floods and Cyclone Gabrielle
In the prior comparative period the fair value of completed investment property was adjusted
downwards for the cost of future works to be undertaken to remediate damage caused by the
Auckland Floods, an amount of $5.2m.
Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements
All investment properties have been determined to be Level 3 (March 2024: Level 3) in the fair value
hierarchy as the fair value is determined using inputs that are unobservable.
Significant Unobservable Inputs
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Group's development
land is the value per m2 assumption. Increases in the value per m2 rate result in the corresponding
increases in the total valuation.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Group's portfolio of
completed investment property are the discount rate and property price growth rate. There are no
interdependencies or interplays between unobservable inputs.
The following assumptions have been used to determine fair value:

The stabilised occupancy period is a key driver of the CBRE Limited valuation. A significant
increase / (decrease) in the occupancy period would result in a significantly lower/ (higher) fair
value measurement.

Stabilised Occupancy Period5.1 yrs – 9.0 yrs (median: 7.7 yrs)5.1 yrs – 9.0 yrs (median: 7.7 yrs)
Current ingoing price, for subsequent resales of ORAs, is a key driver of the valuations. A significant
increase / (decrease) in the ingoing price (as driven by the property growth rates) would result in a
significantly higher / (lower) fair value measurement.
3.2 Care Assets: Property, Plant and Equipment
Accounting Policy
Property, plant and equipment comprises owner-occupied freehold land and buildings and plant
and equipment operated by the Group for the provision of care services, care suites and land and
buildings that are to be developed into care centres in the future.
Following initial recognition at cost, completed owner occupied freehold land and buildings and
land and buildings under development are carried at fair value. Independent valuations are
performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially
from the assets’ fair value at balance date. Any depreciation at the date of valuation is deducted
from the gross carrying value of the asset, and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount
of the asset. In periods where no valuation is carried out, the asset is carried at its revalued amount
plus any additions, less any impairment and less any depreciation incurred since the date of the
last valuation.
All other plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment.
Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
In relation to land and buildings under development, fair value is determined by the Directors
having taken into consideration the valuation conducted by CBRE Limited as an independent
registered valuer and the cost of work undertaken.
A property under construction is classified as land and buildings within property, plant and
equipment where the completed development will be classified as such and as investment
property where the completed development will be classified as an investment property. Fair value
measurement on property under construction is only applied if the fair value is reliably measurable.
Where the fair value of property under construction cannot be reliably determined the value is the
fair value of the land plus the cost of work undertaken. Property under construction classified as
land and buildings under development is revalued annually and is not depreciated.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset,
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item
will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and
maintenance are expensed to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income during the
financial period in which they are incurred.

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
3.2 Care Assets: Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)
Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings above cost are
credited to the asset revaluation reserve in other comprehensive income; increases that offset
previous decreases taken through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss. Decreases
that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against the asset revaluation
reserve in other comprehensive income; all other decreases are charged to profit or loss. When
revalued assets are sold, or held for sale, the amounts included in the reserve are transferred to
retained earnings.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight line method
to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
CategoryUseful Life Range
Weighted Average
Depreciation Rate
Freehold buildings10 - 50 years2.4%
Chattels and leasehold improvements2 - 50 years20%
Motor vehicles5 years22%
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
balance date. No depreciation is charged in the year of sale for all assets other than buildings in
which case depreciation is charged to the earlier of the date of classification to held for sale or the
date of sale.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the net disposal proceeds
with the carrying amount of the asset. These are included in the Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Income.

Land and Buildings Under Development
A valuation in respect of development land was provided by CBRE Limited as at 31 March 2025.
Any costs incurred to 31 March 2025 on the developments are included in arriving at the fair value
as at 31 March 2025.
The Group has applied the following methodology in relation to the measurement of land and
buildings under development:
Practical completion not achieved
Where the development still requires substantial work such that practical completion is not going to
be achieved, and a reliable estimate of fair value cannot be made, at or close to balance date, the
fair value recognised is the fair value of the development land per the Directors’ valuation plus the
cost of any work in progress. An amount of $30.6m as at 31 March 2025 (March 2024: $61.4m) has
been recognised in relation to these development sites.
Where an individual development is of both investment property and freehold buildings in nature,
the fair value of land and work in progress is apportioned between investment property under
development and freehold land and buildings under development, by applying the estimated gross
floor area for these respective areas of the development based on information obtained from the
project quantity surveyors at the planning and design stages.
Practical completion achieved
Where a development is practically completed, or likely to be completed at, or close to, balance
date the land and buildings are measured at its completed fair value per the Directors’ valuation
with an adjustment made for any estimated costs, in accordance with the project budget, to be
incurred to complete the development, and is then transferred to completed land and buildings.
Completed Land and Buildings
A valuation in respect of completed land and buildings was provided by CBRE Limited as at

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
3.2 Care Assets: Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)
The valuation of the Group’s care centres was apportioned to land, buildings, chattels and goodwill.
The fair value of land and buildings as calculated by CBRE Limited is based on the level of rent
able to be generated from the maintainable net cash flow of the site subject to average efficient
management. The fair value of the Group’s land and buildings as determined by the Directors is
based on these apportionments. However, chattels are carried at historic cost less depreciation
and the amount apportioned to goodwill by CBRE Limited is not recorded in the consolidated
financial statements.
Care Suites and Serviced Apartments
As discussed earlier in note 3, where services are provided to residents who occupy accommodation
under an ORA, it is the Group’s policy to look at the significance of these services in the context of
the overall revenue derived from the care suite or serviced apartment in ascertaining whether the
care suite or serviced apartment is property, plant and equipment or investment property. Care suite
residents occupying accommodation under an ORA receive a significant level of services. Hence, they
are included in property, plant and equipment. Care suite land and buildings are held at fair value.
Serviced apartments are included in investment property.
Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements
All land and buildings have been determined to be Level 3 (March 2024: Level 3) in the fair value
hierarchy as the fair value is determined using inputs that are unobservable.
Critical Judgements and Estimates in Applying Accounting Policies
Classification of Care Suites
An area of significant judgement is determining the classification of those properties which are
operated as care suites. Refer note 3 for further information.
Valuation of Freehold Land and Buildings
The valuation approach for the freehold land and buildings as at 31 March 2025 was an income
capitalisation approach and/or discounted cash flow analysis supplemented by the direct comparison
approach. The valuation is determined by the capitalisation of net cash flow profit/earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and rent (“EBITDAR”) under the assumption a positive cash
flow will be generated into perpetuity. Capitalisation rates used for the 31 March 2025 valuation
range from 12.25% to 15.00 % with a median value of 13.50% (March 2024: 12.25% to 17.50 % with a
median value of 13.63%). The valuation was apportioned between land, buildings, chattels / plant and
equipment and goodwill to determine the fair value of the assets.
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Group's development
land is the value per m2 assumption. Increases in the value per m2 rate result in corresponding
increases in the total valuation.
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Group's portfolio
of completed land and buildings is the capitalisation rate applied to earnings. A significant
decrease/ (increase) in the capitalisation rate would result in significantly higher / (lower) fair
value measurement.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Group's portfolio
of care suite also include the discount rate and property price growth rate. There are no
interdependencies or interplays between unobservable inputs.

3.3 Held for Sale
Assets are classified as held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally
through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of
carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for investment property assets held for sale
which are carried at fair value.
Assets previously classed as Investment Properties and Right of Use Investment Properties are held
on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value, assets previously classed as Property, Plant
and Equipment are held on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at current valuation, which is the lower
of fair value less costs to sell and the carrying amount.
Changes in fair value from the date of classification to held for sale are recognised in
comprehensive income. See note 3.4 for resident liabilities associated with these held for
sale assets.
As at 31 March 2025 there are no sites that meet the definition of held for sale (March 2024:
seven sites).
During the year to 31 March 2025, six sites were disposed of. Refer to Note 1.3(ii) for further details.
While there are several sites which the Group continues to market these sites no longer meet the
accounting definition of held for sale. Two of these sites were reclassified to Investment Property
in the year ending 31 March 2024 and a further two sites classified as held for sale as at 31 March
2024 have been transferred back to Investment Property and Property, Plant and Equipment
during the year. Of the two transferred in the year ended 31 March 2024 one was subsequently

3.4 Refundable Occupation Right Agreements
What is an ORA?
An ORA is a contract which sets out the terms and conditions of occupation of an independent
living unit or care suite. A new resident is charged a refundable occupation licence payment in
consideration for the right to occupy one of the Group’s units, apartments or care suites. On
termination of the ORA the occupation licence payment is repaid to the exiting resident.
What is DMF?
An amount equal to a capped percentage of the occupation licence payment is charged
by the Group as a management fee for the right of use and enjoy the common areas of the
village. The deferred management fee is payable by the resident on termination of the ORA.

3.4 Refundable Occupation Right Agreements (continued)
Accounting Policy
The occupation licence payment becomes payable when the ORA is unconditional and has either
“cooled off” or where the resident is in occupation. The Group has a legal right to set-off any
amounts owing to the Group by a resident against that resident’s occupation licence payment.
Such amounts include deferred management fees, recovery of village operating costs and recovery
of outstanding obligations to the village.
The management fee receivable is recognised in accordance with the terms of the resident’s ORA.
The deferred management fee represents the difference between the management fees receivable
under the ORA and the portion of the management fee accrued which is recognised on a straight-
line basis over the average expected occupancy for the relevant accommodation i.e. 7 years for
units and premium apartments, 5 years for apartments and 3 years for care suites (March 2024:
7yrs, 5yrs, 3yrs).
The management fee recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income
represents income earned in line with the average expected occupancy.
Included in the obligation to residents is an estimate of the amount expected to be paid to those
residents whose ORA or unit title arrangement allows them to participate in the resale gain of the
unit or apartment they occupy.
As the refundable occupation licence payment is repayable to the resident upon termination
(subject to a new ORA being issued to an incoming resident), the fair value is equal to the
amortised cost, being the amount that can be demanded.

3.5 Leases
What’s a right of use asset?
Right of use assets are assets held under a lease arrangement. It represents the value of
the lessee’s right to use an asset over the life of the lease. There is a corresponding lease
liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet which represents the present value of the future
lease payments.
Accounting Policy
Right of use assets and lease liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present
value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments.
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the
measurement of the liabilities.
Right of use assets are initially recognised at cost, comprising of the initial amount of the lease
liability less any lease incentives received. Right of use assets relating to equipment and motor
vehicles, recognised in chattels, are subsequently depreciated using the straight line method from
the commencement date to the end of the lease. In considering the lease term, the Group applies
judgement in determining whether it is reasonably certain that an extension or termination option
will be exercised.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate Implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot
be readily determined the incremental borrowing rate at the commencement of the lease is used.

Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) - Share Rights
On 15 September 2020 the Board approved a Long Term Incentive Scheme for its senior executives
(“LTI Scheme”). The LTI Scheme was established to:
a. provide an incentive to key executives to commit to Oceania for the long term; and
b. align these executives’ interests with the interests of Oceania’s shareholders.
Participants in the Scheme were granted Share Rights from time to time which, subject to meeting
certain performance hurdles and the vesting criteria, convert into an entitlement to receive ordinary
shares. The performance hurdles relate to Oceania’s total shareholder return relative to the NZX50
Group and, for certain schemes, Oceania’s performance against underlying earnings per share targets.

Oceania
Annual Report 2025
Notes to the Consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
4.1 Shareholder Equity and Reserves (continued)
Share Rights became exercisable when the performance hurdles were met over the period from the
commencement date to the measurement date and the holder remained employed on the vesting
date, and in certain other exceptional circumstances. On becoming exercisable, each Share Right
entitled the holder to receive one fully paid ordinary share in Oceania Healthcare Limited, less an
adjustment for tax paid on the holder’s behalf for the benefit received under the Scheme. The Share
Rights had a nil exercise price.
Performance Hurdles for Share Rights
The Share Rights in the 2021 scheme (vesting date March 2024) grant were divided into two equal
allotments each with its own performance hurdle.
• For the first allotment, the proportion of Share Rights satisfying the performance hurdle was
determined on a straight-line basis, from 0%, where the total shareholder return (TSR) from the
commencement date to the measurement date is equal to or less than the 35th percentile of the
NZX50 Group, up to 100% where the TSR is equal to or greater than the 75th percentile of the
NZX50 Group; and
• For the second allotment, the Share Rights satisfied the performance hurdle if the Group’s
annual growth in underlying earnings (before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) per
share (UEPS) from the commencement date to the measurement date was equal to or greater
than 10% per annum growth in UEPS for the relevant period.
The Share Rights in the 2022 scheme (vesting date March 2025) were subject to one performance
hurdle. The proportion of Share Rights satisfying the performance hurdle were determined on a
straight line basis, from 0% where the TSR from the commencement date to the measurement date
is equal to or less than the 25th percentile of the NZX50 Group, up to 100% where the TSR is equal
to or greater than the 75th percentile of the NZX50 Group.
Lapse of Share Rights
Share Rights lapse where the performance hurdles are not met on a relevant measurement date
or, in general, where the participant ceases to be employed by the Group before the vesting date
(except in certain circumstances).

LTI - Share Options
On 11 September 2023 the Board approved a new Share Option Plan. The option plan has been
established to:
(a) Reward and retain key employees;
(b) Drive longer term performance and alignment of incentives of participants with the interests of
the groups shareholders; and
(c) Encourage longer term decision making by participants.
Participants in the Option Plan are granted options to acquire ordinary shares from time to time.
These options are exercisable by participants subject to those participants’ continued employment
by Oceania, during specified exercise periods for a set exercise price. On exercise of the options, the
Group will facilitate a cashless (net settled) exercise by issuing such number of shares as is equal
to the difference between the then current market value of Oceania’s shares and the exercise price
(less an adjustment for tax paid on the holder’s behalf for the benefit received), multiplied by the
number of options being exercised, divided by the then current market value of Oceania’s shares.

Employee Share Plan
In the comparative year, on 25 September 2023, 53,761 shares were issued as part of an employee
share scheme (“ESS”). All permanent employees as at that date were invited to participate. Full
time employee participants were allocated an equivalent of $800 of shares and part time employee
participants were allocated an equivalent of $400 of shares. The shares are held in trust and
will be transferred to the employee if the employee remains employed by Oceania (or any of its
subsidiaries) for the following three years.
There was no new employee share scheme in the year ended 31 March 2025.
4.4 Borrowings
Accounting Policy
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, including transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are
subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction
costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive
Income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of
qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready
for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such a time as the
assets are substantially ready for their intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognised in the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year in which they are incurred.

The entire debt facility is sustainability-linked for the entire five year period with a penalty in the
event of the Group not satisfying certain ESG targets and an interest discount in the event that
certain targets are met. For the period to 31 March 2025, two targets were met and a discount will be
received. For the period to 31 March 2024, all three targets were met and a discount was received.
Debt Financing
On 4 March 2025 it was announced that the Group has extended the maturity of its bank debt
facilities to three and five years and introduced a new lender to the syndicate with financial
close to occur on 1 May 2025. The total limit of bank facilities will remain at $500m and the split
as follows:
1) General Corporate Facility limit $50m, 3 year tenor;
2) General Corporate Facility limit $185m, 5 year tenor; and
3) Development Facility limit $265m, 5 year tenor.
The facilities are held by a banking syndicate comprising ANZ, BNZ, ASB and ICBC.
The refinance included a change to interest rates which has resulted in the recognition of a loan
modification gain of $5.4m as at 31 March 2025.
Financing Arrangements
At 31 March 2025, the Group held committed bank facilities with drawings as follows:

The Group’s revolving Development Facility is utilised to cover costs associated with current
development projects. The revolving General Corporate Facility is used for general corporate
purposes as well as for development land and initial costs for projects not currently funded by the
Development Facility.
Interest on the General Corporate Facility is typically payable quarterly. Interest on the
Development Facility is capitalised and repaid together with principal using the ORA licence
proceeds received upon settlement of initial sales of newly developed units and care suites. Line
fees are payable quarterly on the committed General Corporate Facility and the Committed
Development Facility.
The financial covenants in the Group’s senior debt facilities, with which the Group must
comply include:
a) Interest Cover Ratio – the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Interest Charges, where interest
charges relates to the interest and commitment fees in relation to the General Corporate
Facility, is not less than 2.0x;
b) Loan to Value Ratio – the ratio of total bank indebtedness shall not exceed 50% of the total
property value of all Group’s properties (including the “as-complete” valuations for projects
funded under the Development Facility); and
c) Guarantor Group Coverage – at all times the adjusted EBITDA of the Guaranteeing Group
must be at least 90% of the Adjusted EBITDA of the total tangible assets of the Group; and
d) Development – at all times the outstanding principal amount under the Development
Facility shall not exceed the Development Value. Development Value (per the most recent
valuation excluding any settled stock) is the aggregate value of all Residential Facilities in all
Developments that are being funded by the Development Facility less their cost to complete.

The covenants are tested half yearly. All covenants have been complied with during the period. The
Group has agreed with its banks that the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Net Interest, for the
purposes of the financial covenants, shall continue to be based on the accounting treatment in use
before the introduction of NZ IFRS 16 Leases. No changes have been made to these covenants as
part of the refinance.
Assets Pledged as Security
The bank loans and bonds of the Group are secured by mortgages over the Group’s care centre
freehold land and buildings and rank second behind the Statutory Supervisors where the land and
buildings are classified as investment property and investment property under development.
As at 31 March 2025 the balance of the bank loans over which the properties are held as security is

5. Other Disclosures
5.1 Income Tax
What is Current Tax?
Current tax is an estimate of the tax that is payable to Inland Revenue for the current
financial year.
What is Deferred Tax?
Deferred tax is an estimate of income tax that will be payable or recoverable in respect of
temporary differences relating to the accounting and tax values of the Group’s assets and
liabilities. Deferred tax also includes the value of tax losses that we consider we will use in the
future to meet any income tax obligation.
Accounting Policy
The tax expense or benefit for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the
calculation of profit for the year in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, except
to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income. In this case the tax
is also recognised in other comprehensive income.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted at the balance
date. The Directors periodically evaluate positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in
which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation.
Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising
between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated
financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the
time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax
is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the
Balance Sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is
realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

5.1 Income Tax (continued)
Key Accounting Judgements
Deferred Tax on Investment Property
Deferred tax on investment property is assessed on the basis that the asset value will be realised
through use (“Held for Use”). An initial recognition exemption has been applied to newly developed
village sites in accordance with NZ IAS 12 Income Taxes.
The Group’s ORAs comprise two distinct cash flows (being an ORA deposit upon entering the unit
and the refund of this deposit upon exit). In determining the tax base of investment property, the
Group considered whether taxable cash flows are received at the end of the ORA period (i.e. upon
refund of the ORA deposit by way of set off on exit by a resident) or at the beginning of the ORA
period (i.e. at time of the receipt of the ORA deposit). The Group has carefully evaluated all the
available information and considers it appropriate to recognise and measure the tax base and
associated deferred tax based on the taxable cash flows being receivable at the end of the ORA
period as this best represents the Group’s contractual entitlement.
In calculating deferred tax under the Held for Use methodology, the Group has made significant
judgements to determine taxable temporary differences. The carrying value of the Group’s
investment property is determined on a discounted cash flow basis and includes cash flows that
are both taxable and non-taxable in the future. The Group has recognised deferred tax on the cash
flows with a future tax consequence being DMF and deductible amounts as provided by external
valuers, to the extent that it doesn’t relate to land. The Group uses the external valuers’ valuation of
land and improvements to estimate the apportionment of cash flows arising from the depreciable
(i.e. buildings) and non-depreciable components (i.e. land).
Deferred tax on non-residential buildings
On 28 March 2024, the Government passed the Taxation (Annual Rates for 2023–24, Multinational
Tax, and Remedial Matters) Act, which included tax legislation changes including the removal of tax
deductions for depreciation on non-residential buildings. The change largely reinstates the policy
that was in place between 2012 and 2020. Specifically, the tax depreciation rate will be set at 0%
for all buildings (residential and non-residential) with an estimated useful life of 50 years or more,
from the 2024/25 year onwards. This resulted in an increase in the deferred tax liability in respect
of Property, Plant and Equipment and Investment Property of $28.4m as at 31 March 2024 for the
Group, but did not result in any change to the total deferred tax recognised on the balance sheet
of nil due to the recognition of previously unrecognised tax losses.
Recognition of Deferred Tax on Tax Losses
After taking into consideration tax losses generated in the year to 31 March 2025, the Group now
has an estimated $355.3m (March 2024: $253.7m) of available tax losses as at 31 March 2025.
The Group may recognise deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that the Group will
generate future economic profits to offset the deferred tax assets or to the extent that they offset
deferred tax liabilities. As at 31 March 2025 the Group recognised a deferred tax asset of $48.8m
(March 2024: $42.3) representing tax losses generated in order to offset the net deferred tax
liability position. All other available losses generated are held off balance sheet. Total available
losses are noted below:

5.2 Intangible Assets
Accounting Policy
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share
of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary or business at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested at least once annually for impairment at
31 March and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairments are recognised in
the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity or cash
generating unit (“CGU”) include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity or CGU sold.
Goodwill is allocated to CGUs and these CGUs are grouped where appropriate for the purpose of
impairment testing. The allocation is made to those CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to
benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.

Computer Software
Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense
as incurred. Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred
to acquire and bring to use the specified software. Where computer software licences are housed
in the cloud they are capitalised to the extent the Group controls the licence and has rights to
the software beyond rights to access. These costs are amortised on a straight line basis over their
estimated useful lives (2.5 – 8 years).

Impairment Test for Goodwill
The carrying value of goodwill has been assessed on a site by site basis taking into account the
sites results as a whole. An impairment is recognised when the carrying value of goodwill plus
chattels is greater than the CBRE Limited value of goodwill plus chattels.
The carrying amount of goodwill at each site is not significant in comparison to the total amount of
goodwill. All goodwill is allocated to the care CGUs.
Key Judgements in Applying the Accounting Policies
Care CGUs Recoverable Amount
The recoverable amount of the individual care sites has been determined based on an external
valuation of fair value less costs to sell by CBRE Limited as an external valuer. The fair value less
costs to sell is considered level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. This has been used for comparison to
current carrying value. The assumptions used in determining the fair value for care centres are
disclosed in note 3.2.
5.3 Trade and Other Receivables
Accounting Policy
Trade receivables are amounts due from residents and various government agencies in the ordinary
course of business and are recognised initially at fair value, being its transaction price, plus
transaction costs. Trade receivables are held with the objective of collecting the contractual cash
flows and therefore they are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method, less a provision for impairment.
Occupation licence payment receivables are recognised at the point in time that an ORA becomes
unconditional and has either “cooled off” or where the resident is in occupation, and the resident
has not yet made all of the contractual licence payment to the Group. The long term portion of this
receivable has been discounted by $1.8m (March 2024: $1.9m).

Recognition, Measurement and Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies
The Group applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a
lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and requires recognition from initial
recognition of the trade receivable. To measure expected credit losses, trade receivables have been
grouped and reviewed on the basis of the number of days since resident departure and the funding
stream and type of debtor. Judgement is used in selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation
and is based on past history and forward looking assumptions.
The Group has the following financial assets subject to the application of the expected credit
loss model:
• Trade receivables from care operations for the provision of care fees revenue for rest home and
hospital fees. These are split between private amounts owed by residents and amounts due from
agencies such as the Ministry of Health and ACC.
• Trade receivables from village operations for the provision of weekly service fees and occupation
licence payment receivables. These are receivable from residents.
The Group has applied a simplified approach to calculating the expected loss rate expected
by applying a 1.5% allowance to trade receivables from care operations (2024: 1.5%) and
0% from village operations (2024: 0%), adjusted for any other known factors with respect to
individual debts.
There is no significant concentration of credit risk as trade receivables relate to individual residents
and government agencies.
5.4 Trade and Other Payables
Accounting Policy
Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior
to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid
within 30 days of recognition.
Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Wages and Salaries, Annual Leave and Long Service Leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave are
recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are
measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
The liability for employee entitlements is carried at the present value of the estimated future
cash flow.
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee entitlements and
measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services
provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage
and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service.

5.6 Financial Risk Management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risks (including cash flow
interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme
focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse
effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments
such as interest rate swap contracts to hedge certain interest rate risk exposures. Derivatives are
exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The
Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These
methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rates to determine market risk and aging
analysis for credit risk.
Classification and measurement
Financial assets are required to be classified into three measurement categories: those measured
at fair value through profit and loss, those measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income and those measured at amortised cost. The determination is made at initial recognition.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing its financial instruments
and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. Trade receivables are amounts
due from residents and various government agencies held to collect contractual cash flows
in the ordinary course of business. These balances are held at amortised cost less a provision
for impairment.
Risk management is carried out centrally by management under policies approved by the Board
of Directors. The Directors provide written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies
covering specific areas, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments
and non-derivative financial instruments.
(a) Fair Value Estimation
All financial assets (cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and certain right of use
assets) and financial liabilities (trade and other payables, lease liabilities and bank borrowings),
other than derivatives, are measured at amortised cost, which approximates to fair value.
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are fair valued using the contractual cash flows. In
considering the fair value of interest bearing assets and liabilities the estimated future interest rates
approximate the discount rates used in a fair value assessment.
1 Sundry payables include $0.1m (March 2024 $0.1m) relating to cash held on behalf of residents.
2 The business operations and assets of Bream Bay Village Limited were sold to Oceania Village Limited on 30 September 2022 at carrying amount. Subsequent
to this date the company is dormant.
3 Termination payments were made to two employees who met the definition of key management and ceased to be employed by the Group during the period
(March 2024: one employee).

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
5.6 Financial Risk Management (continued)
(b) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as interest rates will affect the Group’s
income. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures
within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on risk.
(c) Cash Flow Risk
The Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, as such the Group's income is substantially
independent of changes in market interest rates.
The Group's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable
rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The cash flow and interest rate risks are
monitored by the Directors on a monthly basis. The Directors monitor the existing interest rate
profile with reference to the Group’s Treasury Policy and the Group’s underlying interest rate
exposure. Management present interest rate hedging analysis and strategies to the Directors for
consideration and seek Director approval prior to entering into any interest rate swaps.
The following table shows the sensitivity of the Group's Profit / (Loss) and equity to a movement in
interest rates of +/-1%. This assumes all other variables remain constant.

Change in fair value of cash flow hedges-1,147-(1,170)
Interest Rate Swaps
It is the Group's policy to manage interest rate risk through the use of interest rate swaps to reduce
the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating rate long term debt. The objective of the
interest rate swaps is to protect the Group from the short to medium term impact to cash flows
which arises out of variability in floating interest rates.
Interest rate swaps are initially recognised at fair value on the date a contract is entered into and
are subsequently measured at fair value on each reporting date. The fair values of the interest
rate swaps are determined based on cash flows discounted to present value using current market
interest rates.
Interest swaps are assessed for effectiveness at each reporting period. A retrospective
calculation will be used to determine the amount of any ineffectiveness to recognised in
comprehensive income.
The expected causes of ineffectiveness are as follows:
• Credit risk of the bank;
• Insufficient level of floating rate debt;
• Differing interest settlement dates; or
• Inter Bank Offered Rate (“IBOR”) reform if the BKBM rate is replaced with another measure.
When interest rate swaps meet the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting, the effective portion
of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income (loss
of $1.6m, March 2024: loss of $2.1m), while the ineffective portion is recognised in other expenses
in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (nil impact, March 2024: nil impact).
Amounts taken to the interest rate reserve are transferred out of the reserve and included in the
measurement of the hedged transaction when the forecast transaction occurs. When interest rate
swaps do not meet the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting, all movements in fair value of the
hedging instruments are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Under the interest rate swap agreements, the Group has a right to receive interest at variable rates
and an obligation to pay interest at fixed rates. Of the interest rate swaps in place at 31 March
2025, $50.0m (March 2024: $100m) are being used to cover approximately 12.2% (March 2024:
23.9%) of the loan principal outstanding. Bank loans of the Group currently bear an average fixed
interest rate (including margin and line fees) of 4.3% (March 2024: 4.2%). The fair value of these
agreements at 31 March 2025 is a $0.7m asset (March 2024: $3.0m asset). The agreements were
entered into in 2019 and cover notional amounts for a period of 3 years, 5 years, and 7 years.

(d) Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits
with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure from trade and other receivables.
In the normal course of business, the Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. Other
than on a small number of exceptions, the Group requires settlement of the ORA before allowing
occupation of its villas or apartments. Therefore, the Group does not face significant credit risk.
The values attached to each financial asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet represent the
maximum credit risk. No collateral is held with respect to any financial assets. The Group enters
into financial instruments with various counterparties in accordance with established limits as
to credit rating and dollar limits and does not require collateral or other security to support the
financial instruments.
Concentrations
Cash and cash equivalents of the Group are deposited with one of the major trading banks. Non-
performance of obligations by the bank is not expected due to the credit rating of the counter
party considered. The Standard and Poors credit rating of the counter party as at 31 March 2025
is AA- (March 2024: AA-).
The Group’s receivables represent distinct trading relationships with each of the residents. There
are no concentrations of credit risk with residents. Large receivables generally relate to the
residential care subsidies which are received from Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora and Work
and Income New Zealand. Neither of these entities has demonstrated, or is considered, a credit risk.
(e) Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities,
the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the
ability to close-out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the
Directors aim at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.
Cash flow forecasting is regularly performed by management. Management monitors rolling
forecasts of the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational
needs, while maintaining headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times
so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing
facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group's debt financing plans and
covenant compliance.

operated by the Group for the provision of care services
and care centres under development.
Where village assets and care assets were considered to be
able to be reliably valued, valuations were carried out by a
third party valuer (the Valuer). The valuation of village
assets and care assets is inherently subjective given that
there are alternative assumptions and valuation methods
that may result in a range of values.
For village assets, key assumptions are made in respect of:
• discount rate;
• forecast house price inflation;
• the average entry age of residents; and
• the occupancy periods of the units for each village.
For care assets, key assumptions are made in respect of:
• capitalisation rates; and
• earnings per care bed.
Properties which are externally valued are recorded in the
consolidated financial statements at a Directors’ valuation
which is generally based on the value determined by the
Valuer as at 31 March 2025.
Village and care assets under development whose value
cannot be reliably determined, generally those which are not
substantially progressed, are carried at the fair value of the
land plus the cost of work undertaken.
Our audit procedures included the following:
• Held discussions with management to understand:
• sales or purchases of the Group’s village and care
assets;
• changes in the condition of each property; and
• their internal review of the valuation report.
• Held discussions with the Valuer to gain an
understanding of the assumptions and estimates used
and the valuation methodologies applied;
• On a sample basis we:
• involved our real estate valuation specialists to
assist with our assessment of the methodologies
used and whether the significant valuation
assumptions fell within a reasonable range;
• assessed key inputs of property specific
information supplied to the Valuer by the Group,
including resident schedules, Occupational Rights
Agreement (“ORA”) and occupancy data, to the
underlying records held by the Group; and
• assessed the significant input assumptions applied
by the Valuer compared to previous period
assumptions, taking into account the changing
state of the properties and other market changes.
• Assessed the competence, capability and objectivity of
the Valuer;
• Tested the allocation of costs from work in progress to
completed village units and other assets;
• Considered the impact of new development work and
the completeness of the assets included in the
valuation;
• Considered management’s assessment of the fair value
of village and care assets that are not substantially
progressed at balance date.
• Assessed the adjustments made between the amounts
determined by the Valuer and the recorded valuation
amounts, including those arising from seismic
strengthening and tested the quantum of these
adjustments; and
• Considered the adequacy of the disclosures in Note 3.1
and 3.2.
Information other than the financial statements and auditor’s report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the annual report, which includes the Climate Statement but does not include the financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon. We obtained the annual report other than the Climate
Statement prior to the date of this auditor’s report. The Climate Statement is expected to be made
available to us after the date of this report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.
If, based upon the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the
date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. When we
read the Climate Statement, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and, if uncorrected, to take
appropriate action to bring the matter to the attention of users for whom our auditor’s report was
prepared.
Directors’ responsibilities for the financial statements
The directors are responsible, on behalf of the entity, for the preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing on
behalf of the entity the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors
either intend to liquidate the Group or cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an 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 International Standards on Auditing
(New Zealand) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and 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 the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is
located at the External Reporting Board’s website: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards/assurance-
standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1-1/. This description forms part of our auditor’s

Diversity and Inclusion
Oceania’s Diversity and Inclusion Policy is available on its website at
https://www.oceaniahealthcare.co.nz/investor-centre/governance. The Diversity and
Inclusion Policy aims to ensure that Oceania has a focus on diversity throughout the
organisation. This recognises that a diverse workforce contributes to business growth and
performance, helping to drive an inclusive, high-performance environment in addition to being
reflective of our resident community.
The Board considers that the Diversity and Inclusion Policy has been successfully implemented
across the business and remains a key focus with an excellent balance of gender at Director and
officer levels. As at 31 March 2025 (and 31 March 2024 for the prior comparative period), the
gender breakdown of the Directors, officers (as that term is defined in the NZX Listing Rules) and
employees is as follows:
31 March 202531 March 2024

Oceania has introduced internal systems and processes to allow regular and efficient monitoring
of policy objectives including the implementation of a centralised Human Resources Information
System (HRIS) designed to ensure Oceania can capture and report diversity data in real time. This
data includes gender, ethnicity (inclusive of Iwi affiliation) and age (as far as people are willing
to declare).
This enhanced data capture will substantially increase Oceania’s ability to make informed policy,
remuneration and employee related decisions.
Remuneration Report
Remuneration Overview
Oceania presents this remuneration overview for the year ended 31 March 2025. This overview
provides details of Oceania’s approach to remuneration including incentive plans for executives
that were in place for the year ended 31 March 2025 and remuneration received by the CEO and
the Directors.
Remuneration Principles
It is recognised that in order to drive sustainable business performance and execute the
strategic plan, Oceania must attract and retain people of a high calibre with requisite expertise.
Accordingly, the Board sets the remuneration of executives with regard to this and other
business objectives.
It is Oceania’s policy to align components of executive remuneration with the performance of
Oceania and its shareholders. Executive remuneration therefore comprises both fixed and “at risk”
(or performance-based) elements which are both short and long-term in nature. The purpose of
this policy is to ensure that the interests of the executives, Oceania and its shareholders are aligned
during the period over which the business results are realised.
As a result, the remuneration framework is structured to promote the long-term sustainable growth
of Oceania with a portion of performance-based senior executive remuneration awarded as
rights to equity.
Remuneration Governance
Oceania has established a People and Culture Committee to assist the Board
in the conduct of the Board’s responsibilities with regard to people and culture,
including remuneration. The People and Culture Committee Charter can be found at
www.oceaniahealthcare.co.nz/investor-centre/governance.
The People and Culture Committee is responsible for:
• Reviewing and recommending changes to Oceania’s remuneration structure, people policies,
procedures and practices, objectives and performance;
• Reviewing and recommending changes to the remuneration of the CEO and executives,
having regard to Oceania’s strategy, vision, values, business objectives and performance, the
responsibilities and performance of executives and the general external market; and
• Reviewing and recommending changes to Director fees, taking into account the external market,
work load, succession planning and the need to offer competitive fees to attract and retain non-
executive Directors of a high calibre.

Oceania
Annual Report 2025
Corporate Governance
The Board is responsible for:
• Approving changes to Oceania’s remuneration structure, people policies, procedures and
practices, objectives and performance;
• Approving changes to the remuneration of the CEO and executives; and
• Recommending changes to non-executive Director remuneration, for approval by shareholders.
The members of the People and Culture Committee during the year ended 31 March 2025 were
Rob Hamilton (Chair), Elizabeth Coutts, Sally Evans and Alan Isaac.
Executive Remuneration Framework
Oceania’s remuneration structure for executives, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”),
comprises three elements:
• Total fixed remuneration (“TFR”);
• Short term incentive (“STI”); and
• Long term incentive (“LT I”).
The following summarises each component of executive remuneration.
a. Total Fixed Remuneration
Fixed remuneration includes base salary and, in some cases, the provision of a carpark, a vehicle
allowance and KiwiSaver contributions. Each executive’s fixed remuneration is set based on the
individual’s position, market relativity, and the individual’s qualifications and experience. TFR is
reviewed annually.
b. Short Term Incentive
The STI for most executives is an annual cash payment which is dependent on the achievement of a
combination of Oceania and individual performance measures.
The performance measures are set by reference to the executive’s responsibility and particular
projects relevant to that executive and the business or function for which they are responsible.
The purpose of the STI is to reward executives for meeting measurable objectives linked to a
financial year.
The table below sets out the key terms for the STI plan granted to executives during the year ended
31 March 2025:
FeatureApproach
PurposeAlign individual performance with Oceania objectives
Provide individuals with a competitive market position for total reward (i.e. variable and
fixed pay components)
EligibilityThose considered for participation in the STI programme must be able to impact
the performance of their work area or function and also contribute to Oceania’s
overall performance.
InstrumentAll executives except CEO, CFO and CPOO:
Cash payment
CEO, CFO and CPOO:
Cash payment and deferred share rights
The STI Outcome has both a cash and deferred component with 80% of the STI
Outcome paid in cash and 20% deferred in the form of Restricted Share Rights, which
provides participants the opportunity to acquire fully paid ordinary shares. Restricted
Share Rights vest with reference to the STI Payment Date (Grant Date):
• One third of the Restricted Share Rights will vest on the date which is 12 months from
the Grant Date;
• One third of the Restricted Share Rights will vest on the date which is 24 months
from the Grant Date;
• One third of the Restricted Share Rights will vest on the date which is 36 months
from the Grant Date.
Entry Hurdles (both of which must
be met)
1. Health and Safety improvements
2. GHG emission reduction targets
Performance Targets (each of
which has a 50% weighting and a
minimum threshold, plus the ability
to achieve a stretch outcome of up
to 150% of target)
1. Underlying EBITDA growth
2. Net Debt reduction
Outcome FY2025In relation to the year ended 31 March 2025:
1. Both Entry Hurdles were met.
2. 105% of the Underlying EBITDA growth KPI was met.
3. 67% of the Net Debt reduction KPI was met.

Oceania
Annual Report 2025
Corporate Governance
c. Long Term Incentive
Oceania currently has a share option plan as its LTI for the executive team (“Option Plan”). The
Option Plan was established to:
a) Reward and retain key employees
b) Drive longer term performance and alignment of incentives of participants with the interests of
Oceania’s shareholders; and
c) Encourage longer term decision making by participants.
The table below sets out the key terms of the grants made under the Option Plan during the period
to 31 March 2025:
FeatureApproach
EligibilityThe Board determines whether an Option Plan will operate and the extent (if any) to
which each executive is invited to participate in an Option Plan each year.
InstrumentParticipants in the Option Plan are granted options to acquire ordinary shares from
time to time. These options are exercisable by participants subject to those participants’
continued employment by Oceania, during specified exercise periods for a set
exercise price.
On exercise of the share options, Oceania will facilitate a cashless (net settled)
exercise by issuing such number of shares as is equal to the difference between the
then current market value and the exercise price of between $0.76 and $0.82 (less an
adjustment for tax paid on the holder’s behalf for the benefit received), multiplied by
the number of share options being exercised, divided by the then current market value
of Oceania’s shares.
Vesting periodApproximately three years, being the date on which the relevant share option is granted
until 10 business days after announcement of the Company’s final results three years
later (or such other date as determined by the Board).
Exercise periodParticipants have 90 days from the date the share options vest to exercise the
share options.
Dividends and voting rightsShare options do not have voting rights or entitlement to dividends.
Cessation of employment• If a participant ceases to be employed due to an “involuntary event” (such as death,
redundancy or total permanent illness or injury), the Board may, in its absolute
discretion determine whether the participant’s share options may be retained by the
participant as if he or she remained employed by Oceania, or whether the vesting of
such share options may be accelerated. Any share options that are not retained or
vested will lapse.
• If a participant ceases to be employed for any other reason, all of the participant’s
share options will lapse.
In addition to the Option Plan noted directly above, Oceania previously had a performance share
rights plan as an LTI for the executive team. The Share Rights in the 2022 scheme (vesting date
March 2025) were subject to one performance hurdle. The portion of Share Rights satisfying the
performance hurdle was determined on a straight line basis, from 0% where the Total Shareholder
Return (TSR) from the commencement date to the measurement date was equal to or less than the
25th percentile of the NZX50 Group, up to 100% where the TSR was equal to or greater than the
75th percentile of the NZX50 Group.
The performance hurdles for these Share Rights were not met on the measurement date and all
remaining share rights lapsed.
d. Senior Leaders LTI Scheme
Certain senior leaders have been invited to participate in a Senior Leaders LTI Scheme that has
been approved by the Board. The purpose of the Senior Leaders LTI Scheme is to provide an
incentive to emerging leaders, retain key talent and align the interests of emerging leaders, the
Executive Team and shareholders through the successful execution of Oceania’s strategy. The
Senior Leaders LTI scheme takes the form of a Share Option Plan. Senior leaders are offered an
incentive of a specified number of share options that vest if the share price hurdle is met and the
senior leader remains employed by Oceania at the time of vesting.

for further details.
LTI Option Plan
Ms Dvorak has been invited to participate in Oceania’s share option plan for the executive team
(“Option Plan”). During the period ended 31 March 2025, Ms Dvorak received long term incentive
benefits (comprised of share options granted under the Option Plan) with a value of $504,000 at
the time of the grant.
The table below sets out the key terms for the grant of share options made to Ms Dvorak under the
Option Plan during the period ended 31 March 2025:
FeatureApproach
InstrumentThe share options will vest to Ms Dvorak, subject to her continued employment by
Oceania, 10 business days after Oceania’s final results for the 2027 financial year
(or such other date as determined by the Board) and be exercisable from that date.
On exercise of the share options, Oceania will facilitate a cashless (net settled) exercise
by issuing such number of shares as is equal to the difference between the then current
market value of Oceania’s shares and the exercise price of $0.76, multiplied by the
number of share options being exercised, divided by the then current market value of
Oceania’s shares.
Oceania will pay tax on Ms Dvorak’s behalf for the taxable benefit received by
Ms Dvorak under the plan, and there will be a reduction in the number of shares to be
issued on exercise to the extent the amount of such tax is greater than the tax savings
available to Oceania (or a subsidiary) in relation to the share options.
Vesting periodApproximately three years, being 10 business days after the announcement of
Oceania’s final results for the 2027 financial year (or such other date as determined
by the Board).
Exercise periodMs Dvorak has 90 days from the date the share options vest to exercise the
share options
Dividends and voting rightsThe share options do not have voting rights or entitlement to dividends.
Cessation of employmentIf Ms Dvorak ceases to be employed due to an “involuntary event” (such as death,
redundancy or total permanent illness or injury), the Board may, in its absolute
discretion determine whether Ms Dvorak’s share options may be retained by the
participant as if she remained employed by Oceania, or whether the vesting of
the share options may be accelerated. Any share options that are not retained or
vested will lapse.
If Ms Dvorak ceases to be employed for any other reason, all her share
options will lapse.
3. CEO Transition Allowance
Ms Dvorak is paid a taxable transition allowance of $175,000, in equal monthly instalments, over
the first 18 months of employment, to assist her to relocate to New Zealand.

Oceania
Annual Report 2025
Risk Management at Oceania
Oceania maintains an enterprise-wide risk management policy, supported by regular
management and Board reporting on risk management. Management continue to undertake
ongoing improvements to uplift and mature the management of risk across the business.
Oceania has a Board Risk Committee, which meets at least twice a year, and has responsibility
for the monitoring and oversight of effective risk management at Oceania, including the most
significant and strategic risks. The Board has overall responsibility for determining the nature and
extent of material risks Oceania is willing to take to achieve its strategic objectives.
Oceania also engages an external service provider for independent evaluation of selected internal
controls and risk mitigations, as well as recommending continuous improvements to the control
environment. The findings from internal audits are provided to the Risk Committee for oversight
and follow up.
Oceania’s Top Risks
Management and the Board Risk Committee identify and assess the top risks including risk
mitigation plans. The most significant risks that Oceania manages are set out below.
Oceania’s senior leaders are collectively accountable for managing these risks.
Risk Response
Financial Resilience
This risk refers to external macroeconomic factors (such as
equity and property markets), financial resilience (including
financing, liquidity and debt strategy), and critical strategic
drivers of financial and market performance (including the
development and sales pipelines).
Oceania operates a range of mechanisms to ensure financial
resilience including external scanning of macroeconomic factors
such as equity markets, housing, inflation and supply chain
stability. Management have recently completed a refinance
of debt facilities, with no requirement for additional capital
or borrowings.
Management have undertaken a strategy refresh including
portfolio optimisation, site development and new revenue streams,
as well as continued focus on sales strategy and market pricing.
People & Culture
The risk that Oceania is not able to meet strategic objectives
(including standards of resident care and experience)
because it does not have the right capacity, capability,
engagement, or culture.
The ongoing management of Oceania’s workforce in the aged
care sector, remains an area of significant focus. A people and
culture strategy and plan is being developed and will cover
a comprehensive range of initiatives, including remuneration
and benefit framework, and an elevated focus on learning and
development. Management is currently deploying a new Human
Resources Information System (HRIS).
Risk Response
Climate
This represents the risks that Oceania faces from significant
physical climate hazards as well as transition risks which
may impact our ability to move to, and thrive in, a low
carbon economy.
Oceania maintains a comprehensive sustainability strategy,
supported by extensive consultation with independent experts
where appropriate. The overall approach to managing climate
risk is integrated with Oceania’s enterprise-wide approach to
risk management.
In accordance with the Financial Sector (Climate-related
Disclosures and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021, Oceania
publishes an annual Climate-Related Disclosure report in June of
each year, articulating its approach to climate risk management
and transition to a low carbon economy.
Cyber, Data & Privacy
The risk of harm to Oceania’s reputation, residents or staff,
caused by a significant or prolonged cyber-attack, data or
reportable privacy breach, resulting in significant external
scrutiny and/or cost to Oceania.
Oceania has adopted the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) framework for managing cyber-security threats.
This includes a comprehensive programme for continuous uplift
and strengthening of the information security framework. Oceania
also has a Privacy Officer, and a privacy framework.
Design & Build
This refers to the risk of failure of project management
for the development of new or existing facilities, including
supply chain issues, developer (or subcontractor) failure
risk, or labour supply risk.
Oceania only engages with highly regarded and experienced
construction contractors and consultants, with robust quality
assurance, due diligence, health & safety and auditing practices to
support end to end contractor management. Management aim for
as much fixed pricing as possible.
There is also an ongoing focus on refurbishment and remediation
as required for existing properties.
Clinical and Care
The risk of a significant or systemic breach of clinical care
obligations, or a significant/systemic failing of clinical care
processes, resulting in an adverse outcome for residents.
Oceania has a comprehensive clinical governance programme
including Learning from Harm (LFH, Fundamentals of Care (FoC)
programme, dementia strategy, internal and independent clinical
assurance and continuous improvement programmes.
There are dedicated site-based Clinical Managers and regional
Quality Managers, as well as a strong focus on staff training,
onboarding, and continuing education.
ESG & Corporate Responsibility
The risk that Oceania does not meet its ESG or corporate
responsibilities, impairing its “social licence” to operate.
Oceania has a strong focus on ESG matters, including a dedicated
Sustainability team, maintenance of a Sustainability Linked Loan,
with oversight by the Board Sustainability Committee.
Health & Safety
The risk or potential for harm to employees, residents,
contractors, or visitors because of business activities.
Oceania has a robust health and safety framework and maturity
roadmap, including regular Board and management oversight
and reporting, comprehensive policies and procedures, regular
independent audits, ongoing programmes for critical risk
management, contractor management, and employee training.
As part of Oceania’s focus on continuous improvement, a new
health and safety system was implemented in 2025.
Please see further disclosure on health and safety risks
on the following page.

Oceania
Annual Report 2025
Risk Management at Oceania
Risk Response
Resident Experience
This encompasses both risk of a significant or systemic
failing in resident experience, as well as failure to deliver
on brand and experience commitments and meet resident
expectations and needs.
Oceania deploys a range of programmes to continuously improve
the resident experience, including complaints management,
resident experience programmes, training, assurance activities,
and trialling of new technologies and offerings.
Regulatory Reforms
The risk that regulatory reforms require a change in
business model.
Management closely monitors industry, government and
regulatory developments across Australasia which have the
potential to impact Oceania in future.
In late 2024, Oceania updated its Occupation Right Agreements
and Disclosure Statements to mitigate the risk of potentially unfair
contract terms.
Business Continuity
The risk to operations arising from business disruption,
including pandemic, other health-related disruptions, or
physical/natural events.
Oceania has extensive experience in recent years in managing
significant business disruption including pandemic and extreme
weather events.
Emergency management plans and training are in place and
regularly tested.
Compliance
The risk of systemic or significant non-compliance with
regulatory or legal requirements.
Oceania maintains a compliance management framework,
with key compliance obligations embedded into a wide range
of operational policies and procedures, with oversight where
appropriate by expert functions e.g. Clinical and H&S, Risk
and Legal.
Health and Safety
Oceania maintains a comprehensive Health & Safety policy and framework and has a dedicated
National Health and Safety team. The Clinical and Health & Safety Board Committee has oversight
of Oceania’s responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.
The Clinical and Health & Safety Committee is responsible for ensuring that health and safety
has appropriate focus within Oceania through oversight of health and safety risk assessment
and mitigation, safety systems, staff capability, staff competency, safety leadership and culture.
Health and safety is discussed by management at regular Safety Steering Group meetings.
An integral part of the health and safety framework is a strong health and safety culture, with
a focus on identifying, assessing, and managing all critical health and safety risks, including
role modelling and leadership from all levels of management. In the past year, there has been a
significant management focus on maturing the health and safety framework, implementation of a
new health & safety management system, frequent site Safety Leadership Walks by directors and
senior leaders, as well as continued improvement in the management of critical health & safety
risks, and contractor management.
The Health and Safety team work closely with the Clinical team and regional management to
ensure well-aligned culture and practices. Oceania also embeds Health and Safety Representatives
across key business units.
Health and safety reviews are conducted for all significant health and safety incidents and
Oceania also undertakes lost time injury frequency reporting, near miss reporting, health and
safety inductions, local site health and safety committee meetings, legislative updates and key
health and safety initiatives.
Oceania has a health and safety risk matrix to assess the severity and likelihood of identified risks,
determine mitigation strategies, and determine the level of residual risk. This matrix is reviewed
annually by the Board (and is integrated with the enterprise-wide risk management framework)
and annual health and safety objectives are set for the business based on the significant
risks identified.
Involvement in Health and Safety committees across Oceania sites has driven positive health and
safety culture with health and safety representatives leading the committee meetings. In addition,
the site Health and Safety Committees undertake two committee “shakeup activities” a year such
as off-site hazard awareness walks, wellbeing swims, safety quizzes and hazard rooms.
Oceania is part of the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) Accredited Employer
Programme (AEP) having most recently completed the ACC AEP audit in April 2025.
