Letter from
our Chair

Dean Hamilton

Chair

Welcome to our 2025 Annual Report

The past year has seen significant change for Ryman.

The Board recognised the need for a more disciplined,

transparent and resilient business, to materially improve

our operating performance whilst continuing to deliver

great care for our residents. We have been focussed on

resetting our business in order to provide a foundation

to deliver improved returns for shareholders.

40 years of Ryman

Ryman celebrated a special anniversary in September

2024, marking 40 years since our founders Kevin Hickman

and John Ryder set out to create retirement living and

aged care that is ‘good enough for Mum and Dad’. Sadly,

just before this anniversary, Kevin passed away, leaving

an incredible legacy that

he and his family can be proud

of, offering world-leading

care to ageing New Zealanders

and Australians.

Navigating a challenging environment

The operating environment remained difficult throughout

the financial year, shaped by a subdued property market,

increases in operating costs such as rates, insurance

and electricity, high interest rates, increased competition

with elevated industry stock levels, and continued

underfunding of aged care in New Zealand.

We have responded through a reset of our governance and

management, financial reporting, operational performance,

approach to development and our capital structure, all as

part of our transformation programme.

Strong foundations for transformation –

Governance, Board and Executive changes

The Board appointed new leadership to drive

transformation and performance, including a new

Senior Executive Team (SET), alongside a substantial

Board renewal since June 2023.

We were delighted to appoint Naomi James as CEO,

commencing in November 2024. Following a period

of handover, I stepped down as Executive Chair on

29 November 2024 and moved back to my role of

Board Chair.

Naomi brings extensive trans-Tasman commercial

experience through previous senior leadership roles.

She was most recently the CEO of NZX-listed Channel

Infrastructure where she successfully led a significant

change programme of both the company and the

New Zealand fuel industry with a complex stakeholder

environment involving government, customers, over


1,000 employees and contractors, local community, iwi,

investors and lenders.

Our executive team was reduced from nine to six with

a new structure based on functional responsibilities

(previously a regional structure with regional leadership).

We also appointed a new executive team role, Chief

Strategy and Corporate Development Officer

focussed

on transformation, portfolio optimisation and disciplined

growth, bringing the executive team to seven.


As part of our Board changes, we appointed Scott Pritchard

as an independent director from 1 November 2024, bringing

significant property development and company leadership

experience as CEO of Precinct Properties.

Claire Higgins stepped down on 31 December 2024,

and Anthony Leighs has advised of his intention to step

down at this year’s Annual Shareholder Meeting on

30 July 2025. We thank both Claire and Anthony for their

contribution to Ryman.

Resetting our financial reporting
In late 2023, we embarked on a process to review our

financial reporting to enhance the transparency of

our results and ensure greater comparability with others

in the sector.

This extensive Board-led review is now complete and

has seen Ryman adopt a more conservative

stance

on revenue recognition, removing director judgement

from asset valuations, adopting a more conservative

approach to cost capitalisation, increasing transparency

of performance and improving the comparability of our

accounts to others in the sector.

In addition, we have written down the value of our

intangible assets as they relate to an expected shorter

life for our internally generated systems and applications,

and have moved to align with the industry and not

account for deferred tax assets (primarily tax accumulated

losses) above our deferred tax liabilities.

The impact of these changes has been significant on

our financial accounts for the last two financial years.

While it has been challenging to work through, and

complex for the reader of our accounts, we believe the

improved transparency and consistency will put us in

a stronger position.

Additionally, recent governance changes include:

• Change of our external auditor to PwC Auckland

in accordance with our revised independence

policy, with PwC undertaking its first audit with the

FY25 accounts;

• A new executive remuneration structure, aligned

with long-term value creation with the long-term

incentive (LTI) component linked to total shareholder

returns; and

• Minimum shareholding requirements over time

for executive team and directors.

Decisive action to reset balance sheet

To provide resilience and flexibility through challenging

market conditions, in March 2025, we successfully

completed a $1 billion equity raise. The new equity

materially reduces our debt levels and provides Ryman

with the time and capacity to achieve an improved

performance through our transformation initiatives

and return to growth as market conditions improve.

The raise was fully underwritten and comprised

a $688 million 1 for 3.05 pro-rata accelerated

non-renounceable entitlement offer and a $313 million

institutional placement.

Net interest-bearing debt has reduced $840 million

to $1,665 million with gearing falling to 28.1%.

We appreciate the support from our retail shareholders

in the face of the challenging market conditions, and

the breadth of support received from both new and

existing institutional shareholders who participated

strongly in the offer.

We acknowledge the impact on existing shareholders

of the raise, which came two years after the $0.9 billion

raise in February 2023. I reiterate the commitment

of the Board and management to deliver greater value

for shareholders.

Dividends remain suspended and we will undertake

a review of our capital management policy, including

the dividend policy, in FY26, noting that any future

dividend policy is expected to be based on cash flow.

Thank you
The Board remains focussed on improving Ryman’s

financial performance and delivering great care and

experience for our residents. These goals need to

coexist. We need to deliver sustainable business

performance and ensure that our business is fit for the

next 40 years to deliver industry leading retirement

living and care for New Zealanders and Australians.

We believe that the changes being made will deliver

improved performance, and the Board is confident

that these changes will deliver a return to more

sustainable value for our residents, team members

and shareholders.

Thank you for your continued support.

Continued delivery

FY25 reflects a record build year for Ryman. We delivered

950 new units and beds, including 301 independent

living units, 290 serviced apartments and 359 aged

care beds, and completed four main buildings, welcoming

residents to Miriam Corban, Keith Park, James Wattie,

and Bert Newton villages. Hubert Opperman in Mulgrave

also opened its first independent townhouses

, bringing

the total number of operational villages to 49: nine in

Victoria and 40 in New Zealand.

At year end, we had over 15,000 residents, a record

number and testament to the Ryman offering. I wish

to thank all of our teams for their ongoing effort and

commitment to providing care that is ‘good enough

for Mum and Dad’.

Financial performance

We fell short of what we wanted to deliver financially

this year. Whilst Naomi will cover this in more detail

on the following pages, we were pleased to deliver a

10% increase in revenue with new villages improving

occupancy and increases in average weekly fees

received for retirement and care beds. However, free

cash flow ended at -$94 million against an initial target of

breakeven, primarily due to slower sales of occupation

rights, compounded by increased buyback payments

for units which remained vacant after six months.

Net tangible asset (NTA) backing was $4.18 per share

at 31 March 2025, a disappointing reduction but reflective

of a more conservative approach to cost capitalisation,

work in progress write-downs on land not the subject

of current construction, an increase in shares outstanding

from the equity raise at $3.05 per share, and changes

to valuation methodology for our care centres.

Letter from

our CEO

Since I commenced as CEO in November 2024, I have

been fortunate enough to visit over half of our villages in

New Zealand and Australia and hear directly from our

team and residents about their experiences.

There are two things I consistently hear: how committed

our people are to caring for every Ryman resident, and how

much our residents value the care, support and connection

they experience living in a Ryman village.

Unlocking the full potential of Ryman

As New Zealand’s leading provider of retirement living and

aged care and with a growing portfolio in Victoria, Ryman

is well positioned for future growth in demand. As ageing

populations in both countries grow, and the gap between

aged care bed supply and demand widens, our model will

become increasingly valuable to the residents we serve,

and to our shareholders.

By pioneering the continuum of care model in New Zealand,


and bringing it to Australia, Ryman’s portfolio offers more

care capacity and capability than any of our retirement

competitors. We offer the security that a move into a

Ryman village will provide our residents with access to the

levels of care they might need.

To achieve a better financial performance, we need to

unlock

the full potential of our existing assets and transform

the way we operate. We are ensuring our business is both

commercially strong, sustainable, and resident focussed

– one that secures our leadership in retirement living and

aged care and continues to give older Kiwis and Australians

choice, support and peace of mind as they grow older.

Following the progress made, with multiple initiatives

across our pricing model, support services and development

activities, and our successful equity raise, we’re entering

the next phase of transformation, driven by an operational

focus across three priorities: releasing cash from the

business, sustainable business improvement, and taking


a disciplined approach to growth.

Our FY25 results

This has been a year of significant reset, which

started before I joined as CEO, and a lot has already

been achieved.

We removed $23 million of annualised costs in the

second half of FY25 and are targeting a doubling of

this figure by the end of FY26. Following the previously

signalled soft third quarter, sales contracting (lead

indicator to sales) improved in the fourth quarter, with

this momentum continuing into early FY26 trading.

Pricing model changes implemented in the second half

of FY25 have driven an almost 40% increase in average

DMF to 28.8% on new contracts increasing the value

of the future contract book.

In FY25, we achieved revenue growth of 10%, increasing

to $760.7 million and our operating EBITDAF

1

increased

by $30.7 million reflecting improvements in both village

and non-village performance. Our free cash flow of

-$94.2 million improved from -$186.9 million year on

year reflecting moderated levels of development spend

and was in line with our February outlook.

Our reported NPAT was a loss of -$436.8 million

(restated FY24: -$169.7 million), impacted by one-off

costs, non-cash asset write-downs and a higher

interest expense.

As previously signalled, our FY25 financial statements

were significantly impacted by accounting changes

across revenue recognition, valuations and cost

capitalisation. All FY25 outlook, cost savings and capital

management targets outlined at the time of the equity

raise were met or exceeded. The completion of the

financial reporting review did mean that additional NTA

impacts were identified and reflected in the accounts.

Outlook

We continue to drive operating performance with a

clear focus on releasing cash and reducing costs and

recognising the need to change how we grow and allocate

capital in the future. Cash performance in FY26 will

benefit from lower cost structures in support services,

lower capital spend as in-flight stages complete,

increasing occupancy in the four main buildings opened

in FY25 and lower interest costs following the

capital raise.

Selling down existing stock remains a significant

opportunity to drive cash flow. Our sales effectiveness

continues to strengthen, and we are confident this

will drive ongoing improvement in sales performance

throughout FY26 as the team builds a stronger pipeline

of contracts from levels seen in the second half of FY25.

Importantly, we are achieving a significantly higher

DMF on new occupation right agreements (ORAs)

and high occupancy in our mature care centres which

will underpin revenue growth and improved business

performance in the years ahead.

Thank you

A heartfelt thank you to every Ryman team member

for your commitment to delivering exceptional care and

experiences for all our residents every day. I’m proud

of how you’re embracing change, living our purpose,

and supporting our business reset with such dedication.

I acknowledge the patience and support of our

shareholders as we progress towards delivering better

financial returns. I am confident that the changes we

are making to our business will enhance our financial

performance and strengthen our position as industry

leaders in retirement living and aged care.

Lastly, a sincere thank you to our residents, who remain

at the heart of everything we do. We deeply value the

positive impact you bring to our communities, and we

look forward to continuing to support our residents

and future residents in New Zealand and Australia for

the next 40 years and beyond.

Our year in review
Key milestones

2024 marked the 40-year anniversary of Ryman

Healthcare. Since 1984, Ryman has set the benchmark

for retirement living and quality of care for our residents,

guided by the ethos that what we do has to be ‘good

enough for Mum and Dad’. Our teams celebrated this

milestone alongside our residents with 1980s themed

parties throughout our villages in New Zealand

and Australia.

Occupancy remains high in Ryman’s mature villages

across both aged care (96.3%) and retirement

living (92.8%). Resident sentiment is positive as

demonstrated by a stable net promoter score (NPS)

across care and independent residents.

We were honoured to be recognised by our residents

and the industry, achieving the following awards during

FY25, and for the first time, holding all three:

2024 Canstar Blue Most Satisfied Customers Award

2024 Reader’s Digest Most Trusted Brand; and

2024 Aged Advisor Best Provider Nationwide

We also had our ‘myRyman’ resident app awarded the

Value of Design Award at the 2024 Best Design Awards,

presented by The Designers Institute of New Zealand.

Our residents are at the heart of everything we do,

and these awards recognise the dedication of team

members who deliver our purpose for our residents

every day.

Sales and stock of occupation right agreements
In challenging market conditions, we achieved 1,523 ORA

sales, in line with February guidance and broadly flat

on the year prior. Unoccupied units rose from 974

(10.6% of portfolio) to 1,239 (12.7% of portfolio) largely

driven by new serviced apartments following the opening

of four main buildings in the period, which is an

unprecedented level for Ryman.

We have been busy reviewing and improving our

sales and marketing effectiveness. We are working on

sales strategies that support prospective customers

throughout their journey, alongside improved pricing,

incentives, and more targeted marketing, to achieve

higher sales in an increasingly competitive market.

A new pricing model offering resident choice

and long-term sustainability

Our new pricing model, introduced in October,

recognises that our residents are staying longer

and the need to cover rising village operating costs,

particularly rates, insurance and electricity, which have

increased significantly in recent years.

Our standard DMF increased to 30% (previously 20%),

and is now supported by flexible pricing options where

DMF and unit prices can be adjusted to suit individual

customer preferences if required. Additionally, new

residents can choose between our standard indexed

weekly fees or locking in fixed fees.

Our development milestones

We completed four main buildings, welcoming

residents to Miriam Corban, Keith Park, James Wattie,

and Bert Newton villages. Hubert Opperman in

Mulgrave also opened its first independent townhouses,

bringing the total number of operational villages to

49: nine in Victoria and 40 in New Zealand, home

to over 15,000 residents.

The Kevin Hickman main building is close to completion,

with the care centre scheduled to open to residents

in June, and the Patrick Hogan main building will

commence

in the first half of FY26.

The build rate for the year totalled 950 units and beds,


including 301 independent living units, 290 serviced

apartments and 359 aged care beds (all on a completed

basis). Three villages were completed, reducing the

number of sites under construction from 10 to seven.

Ryman remains focussed on completing in-flight stages

and selling down existing stock, with the timing of future

development to be aligned with market demand.

Resetting our approach to development

New development remains on hold while we complete

villages under construction. The pause allows us time to

complete priority villages, sell-down existing stock, and

to reprioritise our land bank sites based on an improved

risk-return framework.

Going forward, we are looking for potential development

sites with staged delivery (once market conditions support

those developments), lower build

complexity, and

supportive demographics in catchment areas.

11

Progressive reform changes in Australia
In November, the Australian Government passed the

Aged Care Act 2024, a crucial step towards enhancing

the quality, sustainability, and accessibility of aged

care services.

We strongly support the reforms announced, particularly

the introduction of more flexible funding models and the

means-tested co-contribution model for both residential

aged care and the Support at Home Programme. We

believe these changes demonstrate how reform can

improve the delivery and economics of aged care,

making it more equitable for ageing citizens and more

sustainable for providers.

Aged care reform in New Zealand

As life expectancy increases and health needs become

more complex, demand for specialised age-related

healthcare services in New Zealand will increase. This

is driving greater care requirements within villages and

increasing acuity in residential aged care.

The New Zealand Government’s report

1

into aged care

funding has identified that the sector is underfunded


and a substantial increase in the regulated care price

is required to sustain current capacity and promote

new capacity. We confirmed earlier this year that we are

reviewing our aged care capacity in New Zealand.

The issue is sector wide and needs to be addressed

urgently to ensure the medium to long-term ability of

the sector to provide enough aged care beds for older

New Zealanders. We look forward to the Government

concluding its review to address this.

Progressing sustainable outcomes

To position our business for sustainable growth, over

the year our ESG focus has been on governance –

ensuring that we have the foundations in place to lead

Ryman to a sustainable future.

Additionally, we took a step closer to achieving our

ambition to build climate-resilient villages and to achieve

close to 100% electricity from renewable sources

in New Zealand through construction starting on the

Ryman Healthcare solar farm, Te Papa Reireia

in Northland.

Transforming Ryman for the future
Our strategy to transform our business over the next three to five years is based

around three key focus areas.

2.

Sustainable business

improvement

Target: $100–150 million

annualised cash improvement

over three to five years

1.

Releasing cash from the

business

Target: Over $500 million in

the next three to five years

Significant opportunities to release cash and reduce the level of debt and

capital intensity of our business

Our immediate focus is on selling existing retirement unit stock through targeted

pricing and marketing strategies and pausing future development stages until

market conditions improve. We also aim to release cash from resale stock where

previous ORAs have been paid out.

We are considering the introduction of ORAs with a DMF for premium aged care

across our New Zealand portfolio.

Our land bank represents a significant opportunity to release cash with undeveloped

land holdings valued independently at $369 million at 31 March 2025. Our portfolio

optimisation review will assess opportunities for divestment of land bank sites

where they can deliver better shareholder value through sale.

Focus on the performance of our existing portfolio, ensuring that the assets

that we have, deliver a better return

We will improve the operating performance of our villages through increased

occupancy and a higher revenue per unit following the recent changes to

DMF and weekly fees. This will deliver growing benefits over time, as well as

cost savings through procurement and other operational efficiencies.

Increased scarcity in aged care bed supply is a significant opportunity to leverage

our continuum of care model. With the opportunity to expand the ORA model

into aged care and maximise our delivery of aged care services into serviced

apartments, we will increase our aged care revenue over time.

We are also optimising non-village support functions through our new functional

structure and outsourced design, development and construction model.

3.

Disciplined approach

to growth

Target: Lower peak capital

intensity and increased

flexibility

Instilling confidence that the capital we deploy will generate an attractive return

We continue to review our existing villages and land bank to prioritise the

best opportunities for value-accretive growth.

Within existing villages, we will target growth opportunities that are supported by

demand. This includes the future stages of our in-flight projects, our land bank at

existing villages, and opportunities to expand near to existing villages, maximising

asset utilisation of our existing care capacity and facilities.

As we plan new villages, we will refine our designs to better meet the evolving

needs

of our future residents, with the flexibility to adapt to changing preferences,

government policies, and anticipated demand over the life of these assets.

Our approach will also focus on reducing peak capital intensity by phasing

development stages and limiting the number of concurrent projects.

Finally, we are looking at consolidation opportunities in Australia, where Ryman

can add additional value by leveraging our unique continuum of care model,

supported by more attractive regulatory settings.

Our purpose, our people,
our places

In 2022 we launched our sustainability strategy focussing

on initiatives under three key areas: our purpose, our people,

our places.


Over a period of transformation of our business, we are revisiting our strategy to ensure

it supports our goal of improving our business performance and achieving a more

disciplined approach to growth. This will include reviewing our materiality assessment

in FY26 to ensure our KPIs address the issues that are material to our business today

and into the future.

Importantly, we now have new governance in place to ensure that our sustainability

strategy delivers meaningful social and environmental outcomes.

Our Climate-Related Disclosures Report and Modern Slavery Statement are published

separately from this report. You can find them on our website.

Our purpose
We deliver our purpose through providing a range of options that allow our

residents to choose the lifestyle that suits them, with the peace of mind that they

can access industry-leading care in our villages, should they need it.

Home care across our villages

From 1 November 2025, Australia’s home care system

will undergo a significant overhaul, transitioning from

the Home Care Packages Programme and Short-Term

Restorative Care (STRC) to the Support at Home

programme, to improve access, support, and quality

of home care.

The demand for home care services remained strong

during the year, as we continue to focus on our existing

residents. Within this context, home care packages

have increased by 28% in the past 12 months, reflecting

the size of the opportunity for our teams to provide

services to residents who already have strong, trusted

relationships with our village teams.

Ahead of the 1 November changes, our home care

team is helping residents with initial assessments or

reassessment of the appropriate home care package.

Delivering for our residents

Every year, we measure our residents’ loyalty through

their likelihood to recommend us to others through our

net promoter score (NPS). Our NPS for FY25 is stable,

reflecting the

unwavering commitment and focus of our

village teams on resident experience and quality care.

The new services and support structure has re-aligned

the Clinical and Resident Services functions alongside

a flatter management structure, providing additional

agility for villages, and improved reporting. This will

increase our effectiveness in delivering services for

all residents.

Digital innovation to enhance our

resident experience

Our award-winning myRyman care and lifestyle apps

provide essential tools for care delivery, and for our

residents to engage with the vibrant village lifestyle on

offer. Over the last year we have made improvements

that support greater accessibility for residents with

vision impairments, and improved support for team

members in the delivery of our care services.

We believe that supporting our residents to learn and

embrace technology is a key enabler to enhancing

their freedom, connection, and wellbeing.

19

Upskilling for leadership in dementia care
Seventy thousand New Zealanders are living with

dementia, and this is set to more than double by 2050

1

.

In Australia, the number of people living with dementia

is 400,000, and this is set to double by 2058

2

.

We believe the lack of available care beds will increase

the demand for Ryman’s services and therefore our

teams need to be on top of the latest dementia

research to provide the best care for our residents.

Over the year, over 100 team members completed

a comprehensive dementia care programme, and a

research project that uses AI technology to enhance

team members’ knowledge and skills about how

to communicate effectively with residents that

have dementia.

Enhancing our indigenous engagement

Our goal is to cultivate meaningful relationships with

Ngā iwi Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand and First Nations

People of Australia to empower an indigenous perspective

across our business model and into all of our services.

To support this, Ryman is developing a Māori Engagement

strategy, Pasifika Engagement strategy and has completed

the registration of our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan

in Australia.

Building relationships with iwi

With guidance and in partnership with Māori partner

agencies and iwi, we want to support and address the

challenges kaumātua Māori face.

Over the year, we have been working to establish the

foundations and relationships for ongoing engagement

with iwi, and will continue to build and nurture relationships

in the communities where we operate.

Ryman’s reconciliation journey in Australia

While we are at the beginning of our journey, we celebrate

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures

and recognise reconciliation is essential in creating a

better and more sustainable Australia for the future.

Our commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

engagement is reflected in our Reflect Reconciliation

Action Plan (RAP) which was launched in September 2024.

At that time, we joined a network of more than 3,000

corporate, government, and not-for-profit organisations

that have made a formal commitment to reconciliation

so that we can continuously develop and strengthen

reconciliation commitments in new ways.

Our charity partnerships
Each year we have a proud tradition of selecting a

charity partner to work with over the next 12 months. Our

residents and teams then actively fundraise throughout

the year, and we match the total amount raised, up to

$250,000 in New Zealand, and $100,000 in Australia.

In association with our teams and residents, we raised

$466,640 for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand,

and in Australia we raised $138,479 for the Royal Flying

Doctor Service Victoria.

We are proud to have helped raise funds for these

important charities.

Our New Zealand 2025 charity partner is Hato Hone

St John and our Australia 2025 charity partner is the

Olivia Newton John Wellness & Research Centre.

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Our people
We are proud to employ team members who are dedicated to providing industry-leading

retirement living and care for our residents. We are committed to investing in people,

enhancing leadership, and fostering a high-performance culture, all of which are

critical to the success of our transformation journey.

Driving a performance culture through

transformation and leadership

Changes through our transformation programme have

enhanced clarity, transparency, and accountability

for all team members. To ensure our teams fully

understand their role in driving transformation, we

are embedding a high-performance culture.

This year we launched several initiatives to support our

leaders to drive our high-performance culture including:

• The introduction of the Lead and Empower

Programme to foster leadership growth

• A review and refinement of our Induction

Programme,

setting new team members up

for success from day one

• Clinician to Manager Training, empowering care

team members with clinical backgrounds to

transition into leadership roles.

Health, safety and wellbeing at Ryman

We strive to provide health, safety and wellbeing

initiatives that ensure our teams aim for excellence

and are supported to deliver our purpose for

our residents.

We are proud to report a reduction in our recordable

injury rate reflecting improved safety performance

and

incident prevention, driven by increased leadership

engagement, an enhanced reporting culture, and

more accountable investigation processes and

corrective actions.

In May we launched our ‘Leading Safe and Well’

Programme equipping leaders with the skills to foster

a culture of health, safety, and wellbeing across the

organisation. With tailored workshops for different

business areas, the programme has successfully

engaged 225 leaders, achieving an 86% completion

rate since its launch.

We are pleased to report that there have been no critical

injuries across the company.

We verify our villages’ critical risks through comprehensive

safety audits. Safety systems across the villages

demonstrated strong performance, averaging 86.7%

compliance in village audits over the past year.

Our teams, contractors, and subcontractors work together

to create safer environments, where speaking up and

stepping in is part of our daily operations. We streamlined

our high-potential incident alert and reporting process to

fast-track key information and drive faster action.

We are pleased to report that recordable injuries have

dropped year on year.

23

Supporting emerging talent
We are committed to supporting the next generation

of healthcare leaders, proudly offering the following

financial support for students:

• Māori and Pasifika scholarships, offering a one-off

payment of $6,000 to assist recipients in their final

year of nursing school

• $15,000 James Wattie scholarship for a business

student who has made considerable adjustment

in their lives to pursue their studies despite

challenges

• The Graeme Rabbits Scholarship, offering two

team members $10,000 each towards their

tertiary education fees

• The Cashin Scholarship, offering one team member

$10,000 towards their tertiary education fees.

Team member NPS

Overall NPS increased significantly year-on-year

indicating that our team members feel positive about

the teams they work with, the culture and environment

they work in, and the relationships they have with the

residents they care for.

Diversity, equity and inclusion

Ryman’s approach to diversity is to continually develop

a work environment that supports equality and inclusion,

regardless of difference. Our diversity, equity and

inclusion policy is available on our website.

As at 31 March 2025, Ryman’s Board gender diversity

is slightly below 30%. The NZX recommends a minimum

of 30%. This will be considered when new Board roles

are up for nomination.

Ryman aims for a minimum of 40% representation

for males and females in our senior leadership group,

with the remaining 20% comprising any gender. As of

31 March 2025, we have 57% female representation in

the SET, and a notable 60% across all leadership positions.

Ryman’s gender pay gap

We recognise that transparency, equity, and accountability

are critical to attracting and maintaining talent and

building long-term value. For FY25 we are pleased to

report that we have no gender pay gap across all team

members in New Zealand, and in Australia have a gender

pay gap of 0.45% in favour of female employees. This

shows Ryman’s commitment to gender equality.

Soaring beyond boundaries
Frances, resident of Jane Winstone Village in Whanganui,

exemplifies determination and pioneering spirit. Now

86, Frances was one of New Zealand’s first female

commercial flight instructors, defying the odds in a

male-dominated field.

“I wanted to fly from the age of 12,” Frances recalls,

inspired by her brothers’ service in the Air Force and

a school project on jet engines. Despite being told she

had to be 16 to apply for a student licence, she kept her

dream alive.

“On my 16th birthday, I rang Civil Aviation at 9am. They

said, ‘We know who you are – your licence is in the mail!’”

Frances earned her commercial pilot’s licence

at 19,

later becoming the first full-time female flight instructor in

New Zealand in 1962. Her roles ranged from scenic tours

to emergency medical flights, and she was a founding

member of the New Zealand Association of Women in

Aviation.

“We wanted to show women that aviation could

be their future too,” she says.

Even after a 25-year break to raise a family, Frances

regained her instructor rating, proving her passion

never faded.

Ryman CEO Naomi James says, “When I hear about the

achievements of residents like Frances, I feel huge respect

and admiration. It’s impossible not to feel inspired.”

Living in a village named after fellow aviatrix Jane Winstone,

Frances finds it fitting: “She was fantastic – a real pioneer.”

Brian’s blueprint for an epic retirement

Brian, a former construction business owner, moved

with his wife Karlene to Raelene Boyle Village in

Aberfeldie in 2022.

Seeking purpose in retirement, Brian found it in the

village workshop, using his construction skills to craft

wooden items such as bowling ball carriers, interactive

boards, and festive decorations for fellow residents,

especially those in aged and dementia care.

“I enjoy making things that help people feel more

connected. These aren’t things you can buy in a shop.

They’re unique, and the residents can add their own

touch by decorating them,” says Brian.

Beyond the various things he has created, the village

workshop has also become a new home to the many

tools Brian owned through his construction business.

Because Brian is always on hand to help, he has been

affectionately nicknamed ‘Mr Fix-It’ by fellow residents.

“If something’s broken, Brian’s your man,” one resident

shared with a smile.

In addition to his workshop projects, Brian has continued

his 37-year volunteer service with the Victoria State

Emergency Service (SES), reflecting his commitment

to helping others.

For Brian, the key to living a fulfilling retirement is staying

active, whether it’s through volunteering or spending

time in the village workshop.

“As long as I’m busy, I’m happy,” he says.

The unique contributions of our residents

As our ageing populations grow, so too does the incredible value that our older New Zealanders and Australians

bring to our societies. We believe our role is to enable and support our residents in how they choose to age.

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Our places
Pioneering renewable energy for

retirement villages

In November, construction began on a landmark

21 megawatt solar array on farmland near Maungatūroto,

Northland, setting a new standard for renewable

energy adoption in New Zealand’s aged care sector.

Developed in partnership with Harbour Infrastructure,

the Ryman Healthcare Solar Farm, Te Papa Reireia, is

expected to generate approximately 32 gigawatt hours

of electricity annually, helping to power our New Zealand

villages. In FY25, our electricity usage across our

New Zealand villages was approximately 53 gigawatt

hours, meaning the solar farm could supply around

66% of near-term future needs.


Delivering future ready villages

Our new villages reflect a shift toward more sustainable

energy systems. Our focus is on ensuring that newly

designed villages move away from traditional gas, using

electric hot water systems and other energy-efficient,

low-carbon alternatives.

At Kevin Hickman Village we undertook a pilot study

constructing an apartment building using cross-laminated

timber (CLT), an innovative approach that significantly

reduces reliance on concrete and structural steel.

This reduces embodied carbon and results in a lighter

building structure with reduced foundation and seismic

requirements. The building also became the first in our

portfolio to be fitted with a high-efficiency heat pump

water system, marking a key step away from conventional

gas-powered hot water heating.

Building on this progress, we are integrating these

learnings into the design of future villages to enhance

environmental performance across both construction

and operational emissions.

You can read more about our commitment to carbon

reduction and our strategy to mitigate climate risk in our

Climate-Related Disclosures Report on our website.

We strive to minimise any adverse impact on our communities and seek to leave the

environment in better shape for generations to come. Our villages are not only places

for our residents to reside, they are communities that provide freedom, connection

and wellbeing.

Key estimates and judgements

In applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made judgements, estimates, and assumptions

about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that

are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and

underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with the effect of any change in an accounting estimate

recognised prospectively.

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:

• Revenue recognition, specifically relating to deferred management fees (note 3)

• Deferred tax, specifically related to recognition of tax losses (note 7)

• Valuation of assets held for sale (note 10)

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Classification of property assets

The Group provides aged care and retirement living co-located within retirement villages. The classification of

the property assets determines the accounting treatment and judgement is required. NZ IAS 40 – Investment

Property requires an entity to develop criteria so that it can exercise that judgement consistently and to disclose

the criteria when classification is difficult.

Business model or intention

• Property held for use in the production or supply of goods and services would be property, plant and

equipment. Therefore, if the business model is the provision of care, the property should be classified

as property, plant and equipment.

• Property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation would be investment property. Therefore, if

the business model is the provision of retirement accommodation, the property should be classified as

investment property.

Level of ancillary services provided

• For a property to be classified as investment property, the services provided to the residents must

be insignificant to the arrangement.

• Guideline of 20% of total revenue to determine whether the services provided are significant.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Climate change risk

The Group recognises that climate-related risks, if not appropriately managed, will impact the way the Group

currently operates. Physical climate risks such as storms, flooding and heat have the potential to create significant

impacts on the business and its operations. The Group continues to assess the impact of climate change on its

assets and operations. Potential impacts of climate change include:

• Costs of regeneration and remediation of the Group’s existing portfolio of villages because of an increase

in susceptibility to physical risks such as flood, storm, and heat.

• Increased expenditure required to develop new villages that are more resilient to physical risks resulting

from climate change.

These risks are specifically addressed in the selection of new development sites, the design and construction of

the Group’s new integrated retirement villages and aged care facilities, and the refurbishment and enhancement

of its existing portfolio of villages.

While there currently is no significant impact identified for asset valuations; this may change in the future. To date,

the independent valuers have made no explicit adjustments to valuation of property, plant and equipment (note 11)

and the valuation of investment property (note 12) in respect of climate change.

Seismic risk

The Group operates several villages in geographies that have a higher earthquake risk, particularly the villages

located along the Hikurangi fault line in New Zealand. None of the Group’s properties have been notified by a

territorial authority in New Zealand as being potentially “earthquake prone” (being a New Building Standard

(NBS) rating of less than 34%). If the buildings were to be formally classified as “earthquake prone”, the maximum

period of time for carrying out remedial works would be 15 years for buildings located in high-risk zones (such as

Wellington), through to 35 years for buildings located in low-risk zones (such as Auckland).

The Group is currently undertaking seismic assessments across a number of buildings located in higher-risk

seismic zones with the assistance of independent experts. These assessments are at varying stages of completion.

Improvement works have already been carried out on a limited number of buildings. For other buildings where

issues have been identified to date, the Group is actively exploring remediation options and estimates of the

associated costs. Other assessments remain at preliminary stages and further investigation is required.

Independent experts have confirmed that there are no life safety concerns and no need to vacate any buildings.

While the final scope and cost of works can only be confirmed once assessments are complete, preliminary

internal estimates for known issues are in the range of $30-35 million. These estimates have been provided to the

Group’s independent valuer to inform their valuation of property, plant and equipment (note 11) and investment

property (note 12). The valuer has made an allowance for major capital expenditure of the estimated value

provided by management.

Remedial works

The Group has undertaken relevelling works of the main building and one of the apartment buildings at

Edmund Hillary Retirement Village in Auckland, New Zealand, with the aged care facilities in the main building

being re-operationalised in May 2025. The exterior remediation is expected to be completed in June 2025.

These works were undertaken in response to ground settlement over time.

The cost of the current relevelling works is approximately $8.0 million, the majority of which has been incurred

in the current financial year. This information has been provided to the Group’s independent valuer to inform the

valuation of property, plant and equipment (note 11) and investment property (note 12). Both the discount rate for

the valuation of investment property and the capitalisation rate for the valuation of property, plant and equipment

adopted at Edmund Hillary have been revised, reflecting the potential requirement for future remedial works/

relevelling in respect of the main building and apartment building that have been relevelled.

The Group monitors ongoing settlement at Edmund Hillary and relevelling works are likely to also be required

to various other buildings in the future.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Changes in financial reporting

Accounting policies are selected and applied in a way that seeks to ensure the resulting financial information

satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, and the substance of the underlying transactions or other

events is reported.

The Group disclosed at 31 March 2024 that it had made changes to accounting estimates with the effect of

any change recognised prospectively. These changes related to investment property and property, plant and

equipment, including the removal of the directors range assumption (market participant assumption), no longer

including an allowance for value provided by the aged care facility to independent residents and inclusion of

completed unsold investment property in the valuation. Refer to the 31 March 2024 financial statements for

more information.

The Group has continued its extensive review of its financial reporting with the goal of enhancing the transparency

of its results and ensuring greater comparability with others in the sector. As a result, there have been further

accounting estimate changes and corrections to the Group’s financial reporting, some of which were reported in

the 30 September 2024 half year unaudited consolidated interim financial statements. The financial statements for

the period ended 31 March 2024 and opening balance sheet at 1 April 2023 have been restated, where applicable.

The accounting estimate changes (note 1e) and corrections (notes 1a–1d and notes 1f–1g) have been summarised

below, with the impact of these on the comparative periods reported in the table following.

a. Investment properties – discounting accrued deferred management fees

The carrying value of completed investment property and investment property under development, where

fair value is able to be reliably measured, is based on the independent valuers’ reports and also includes

occupancy advances liability, adjusted for accrued deferred management fees and revenue in advance.

As required by NZ IAS 40 – Investment Property, the fair value was adjusted for assets and liabilities

already recognised on the balance sheet which are also reflected in the discounted cash flow approach.

This includes occupancy advances for retirement village units which are recognised as a liability net of

deferred management fees and suspended contributions (resident loans). The Group had previously

discounted the deferred management fees when adjusting investment property.

The Group has reviewed this treatment and has determined that it would be more appropriate to remove

the adjustment to discount the accrued deferred management fees. The occupancy advance liability is not

discounted in the same way, and this creates a divergence in assumptions. Both the occupancy advance and

accrued deferred management fees are recorded at face value on the balance sheet, as they are technically

repayable when due, despite their expected long-term nature. The removal of the discounting of accrued

deferred management fees results in a reduction in the fair value of investment property and has flow on

impacts to the deferred tax expense and asset. This change allows for enhanced comparability of the Group’s

financial statements. This change has been retrospectively applied and the comparatives have been restated.

b. Recognition of occupancy advance receivable and liability

The Group previously recognised a receivable for an occupancy advance when a legally binding contract

with a resident was in place, and the retirement village unit was either complete or considered to have met the

threshold for inclusion in the investment property valuation. At the same time, the corresponding occupancy

advance liability was recognised. Occupancy advance receivables were typically cash-settled by residents

on occupation of a retirement village unit.

Following a review of this treatment, the Group has determined that recognising the occupancy advance

receivable and liability at the point when the resident takes possession of the unit provides more reliable and

relevant information to the users of the financial statements. Possession marks the point at which the resident

will typically have fully paid the occupancy advance and begun occupying the unit, as well as the point at

which deferred management fees begin to accrue and weekly fees become payable. This change allows for

enhanced comparability of the Group’s financial statements. This change has been retrospectively applied

and has resulted in a restatement of occupancy advance receivables and liabilities.

47
Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The remaining occupancy advance receivable (included in trade and other receivables) relates to residents

who have transferred within the village and whose units have not been cash-settled, as their equity is retained

in their previous unit, or to residents who have been granted possession of a unit prior to cash receipt,

primarily for health-related reasons.

The Group has assessed the impact of this change on the fair value of its investment property and determined

it is immaterial. This assessment is supported by independent valuers’ views and sample testing of the

valuations as at 31 March 2024, using the revised population of unit contracts. The effect of the change is

limited to adjustments within the investment property reconciliation, as shown in note 12.

The previous practice of earlier recognition of the occupancy advance receivable and liability led to a

population of units under development being included in the valuation, where it was determined that the fair

value could be reliably measured. Following this change, the Group now only includes units in the investment

property valuation which are complete. The population of units included in the valuation will be adjusted on

a go-forward basis.

c. Development land classification and measurement

Development land, including land held for the future development of aged care facilities and retirement

villages, was previously classified as property, plant, and equipment and measured at cost. On acquisition

of a site, the split between investment property and property, plant, and equipment is uncertain. Land was

allocated upon the commencement of construction when the site’s overall design is known and there is a

reduced likelihood of changes.

The Group has reviewed this treatment and determined that it would be more appropriate to classify this

land as investment property in accordance with NZ IAS 40 – Investment Property where this land has an

undetermined future use. The Group’s accounting policy for investment property is to measure it at fair value.

There may be two components to development land: the land itself and capitalised work in progress (WIP).

Land will be valued by independent valuers in line with the investment property valuation cycle. Capitalised

WIP for investment property under development is carried at cost until its fair value becomes reliably

measurable or when the development is completed, whichever is earlier. It is subject to impairment testing and

will be monitored for any indicators of impairment, such as if the development changes or is no longer feasible.

This change requires retrospective application, but the Group has found it impractical to restate comparative

amounts to fair value. This being due to the independent valuer’s inability to conduct visual inspections

for

prior periods, changes in site conditions under development, and fluctuating market conditions. Management’s

assessment of a sample of valuations and market appraisals shows no significant difference between the

historical cost of the land and its fair value. Therefore, the Group deems the impact on the comparative

periods is immaterial and the comparatives have not been restated.

d. Assets held for sale measurement

Investment property within assets held for sale were previously measured at the lower of carrying value

or fair value less costs to sell. Due to the reclassification of development land as investment property, the

measurement criteria previously applied under NZ IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued

Operations no longer applies to this class of asset. NZ IFRS 5 states that the measurement provisions of

the standard do not apply to investment property, which are covered by NZ IAS 40 – Investment Property.

Consequently, assets held for sale are now recorded at fair value.

The Group has determined that the difference between fair value less costs to sell and fair value is immaterial in

the comparative periods, and therefore, has not restated these balances. Any previously recorded impairments

across the comparative periods have been reclassified from impairments to fair-value movements.

As part of this change process, it was identified that Nellie Melba land which has been held for sale since

March 2024 was previously incorrectly included in investment property and omitted from assets held for sale.

The March 2024 assets held for sale balance has been restated accordingly.

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

e. Revenue recognition of deferred management fees

Deferred management fees are recognised on a straight-line basis over the periods of service. The period

of service is determined as being the greater of the expected period of tenure and the contractual right to

deferred management fees. Previously the expected periods of tenure, based on historical experience across

our villages, was estimated to be seven years for independent units and three years for serviced units.

Following a review of the existing modelling methodology, the Group applied alternative techniques, including

the use of actuarial tables and analysis of customer mix trends. This resulted in a revised estimate of nine

years for independent units and 4.5 years for serviced units. The internal modelling underwent an independent

external review to ensure it was fit for purpose.

The timing of deferred management fee recognition is an accounting estimate, and as such, adjustments

must be made prospectively. Accounting standards require that all existing contracts with remaining deferred

management fee income have the income spread over the revised tenure periods. This adjustment would

result in a lower deferred management fee in the current and future periods for those contracts.

However, after consultation with the Group’s data specialists and the external software provider, it was

determined that it is impracticable to apply the change as required by accounting standards due to system

limitations and data integrity risk. Instead, the change has been applied only to contracts where residents

have first occupied the unit since 1 April 2024. This change was made at 30 September 2024 and backdated

to 1 April 2024. The financial impact of this change was a $1.8 million reduction in deferred management

fee revenue for the six months ended 30 September 2024. The $1.8 million reduction is not material to the

Group financial statements. Given the change has been applied in the underlying systems, it is not possible

to quantify the impact to the full financial year.

The expected periods of tenure will be reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary in the event of a

material change.

In addition to the above, a historical cumulative $12.0 million overstatement of deferred management fee

revenue has been corrected in the current period. This related to uncapped internal transfers and incorrect

inclusion of GST. The GST treatment created a timing difference in the financial statements, although tax

obligations were correctly reported. The adjustment is not material to the Group financial statements and

has not been retrospectively restated.

f. Support and services capitalisation

Property, plant and equipment and investment property

The Group has operated a shared services model with resources centralised in the head office entities in

New Zealand and Australia. These resources support the operation of the village entities, asset management

of existing villages, development of new villages and general administration and compliance activities for

the business as a whole. The cost of a development (whether investment property or plant, property and

equipment) includes directly attributable costs of constructing the development for it to be capable of

operating in the manner intended by the Group. Since the majority of shared services resources support

multiple development projects, an allocation methodology must be applied.

The Group has reviewed this allocation methodology and revised its policy, with the change retrospectively

applied. Where completed investment property and property, plant and equipment are held at fair value, any

changes to the historical cost base of assets which had previously been valued, will not impact the carrying

value. The revised policy reduces the cost base of assets, reduces capitalised costs and increases reported

expenses, and increases the fair-value movement (investment properties) or asset revaluation reserve

movement (property, plant and equipment). To the extent that property, plant and equipment was impaired in

previous periods, this policy change will reverse the impairment before uplifting the asset revaluation reserve.

There will also be consequential reductions in the annual depreciation expenses for property plant and

equipment. Given the quantum of the development activity in recent years, this is a complex change to the

financial results.

49
Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Intangible assets

The previous methodology saw support and services costs capitalised to all qualifying assets, including

internally generated intangible assets (software). Intangible assets are held at cost less amortisation and

impairment (if any). The change to the policy will result in a permanent reduction in the value of intangible

assets and increase in reported expenses. There will also be consequential reductions in the annual

amortisation expenses. The comparatives have been restated.

g. Aged care facility valuation

The Group has historically engaged independent valuers to provide a valuation of completed care facilities.

The valuation was performed on a freehold going concern basis which incorporated land, buildings, furniture,

plant and equipment, and goodwill. In the absence of a detailed component breakdown, fair-value movements

were previously allocated to land first, followed by buildings as needed.

The Group has revised its valuation instructions to require an explicit apportionment of value among land,

buildings, furniture, plant and equipment, and goodwill. Goodwill is now excluded from the reported asset

value, as it is internally generated and cannot be recognised as an asset. This change has been applied

retrospectively. Furniture, plant and equipment continues to be held at cost less accumulated depreciation

and impairment.

The independent valuer has provided the required apportionment for comparative periods, resulting in an

overall reduction in the carrying value of aged care facilities and either a reduction in the asset revaluation

reserve or recognition of an impairment expense where the reserve has been fully utilised. The property,

plant, and equipment note has also been updated to reflect the revised valuation methodology.

In addition, the aged care facility freehold going concern valuation previously included a gross-up for

refundable accommodation deposits. This gross-up was to reflect that the valuation of the freehold

going concern included a deduction for the value lost from an absence of premium charging on rooms

subject to refundable accommodation deposits. The Australian valuer incorporated the gross-up directly

in their valuation, consistent with market practice. As the Group is the only provider offering refundable

accommodation deposits for aged-care in New Zealand, this gross-up is not captured by the New Zealand

valuer, and was historically incorporated by the Group. Following the change to value only land and buildings,

this gross-up is no longer required.

h. Reclassifications

Certain comparative balances have been reclassified to ensure consistency with the current reporting format.

Derivative financial instruments

During the year, the Group revised its presentation of derivative financial instruments in the statement of financial

position. Derivative assets and derivative liabilities within note 20 are now presented separately, whereas in

prior periods, a net derivative position was reported. The comparative figures for the previous financial year

have been restated to reflect this change and ensure consistency with the current year’s presentation.

i. Opening balance sheet significant estimates

The opening balance sheet at 1 April 2024 has been presented to reflect the restatements referenced above.

Significant accounting estimates were included in the opening balance sheet that are no longer applied in the

current or comparative reporting periods. This disclosure provides context for the values presented in the

opening balance sheet.

Allowance for value provided by aged care facility

The March 2023 land and building valuation, included within property, plant and equipment, incorporated an

allowance for the value attributed to the aged care facility supporting independent and serviced apartment

residents. This allowance was determined as a portion of the deferred management fees (DMF) paid by those

residents and was excluded from the investment property valuation.

In March 2024, prompted by changes in economic conditions, financial returns, and strategic plans, the Group

reassessed the appropriateness of this estimate. As a result, the allocation was reduced from 25% to zero and

has not been reinstated. The March 2023 allowance included in the carrying value of land and buildings was

$320.7 million. If applied consistently, the equivalent 2024 allowance would have increased to $370.7 million.

The removal of this allowance contributed to a $429.7 million increase in the March 2024 investment property

valuation. The difference between the $429.7 million increase and the $370.7 million comparative allowance

reflects the removal of allowances previously deducted from investment properties that are not associated

with a care centre valuation.

Directors range assumption within the investment property valuation

In March 2023, the directors exercised judgement in determining the adopted fair value of investment

property by using a range of inputs, including both 20% and 30% DMF rates. This approach benchmarked

Ryman’s DMF structure against broader industry practices, resulting in the application of a 30% assumption

on future rollovers.

In March 2024, these assumptions were reviewed. Independent registered valuers advised that Ryman’s

actual contractual DMF terms—primarily 20% at the time—are appropriate for determining the fair value of

the operator’s interest. Although this differs from the sector’s maximum DMF rates, the valuers considered

other valuation inputs, such as the discount rate, to sufficiently reflect potential variability.

Consequently, the March 2024 investment property valuation was based solely on the independent valuation.

The impact of this change was a $398.6 million reduction in the investment property valuation.

New and amended standards and interpretations

The following standards and interpretations became effective during the current period and are relevant to the

Group’s financial reporting:

• Supplier Finance Arrangements (Amendments to NZ IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures and

NZ IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows)

• Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to NZ IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements)

• Disclosure of Fees for Audit Firms’ Services (Amendments to FRS 44 – New Zealand Additional Disclosures)

• IFRIC agenda decision on Segment reporting

These changes did not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The Group’s

segment reporting has changed during the period, driven by changes to the organisational structure, roles and

responsibilities. These changes are unrelated to the IFRIC agenda decision. The amendments to FRS 44 were

early adopted in FY24.

The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of

issuance of the Group’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt these new and

amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective. The effect of these have not

yet been determined.

NZ IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements.

This standard becomes effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. NZ IFRS 18 introduces

new requirements on presentation within the statement of comprehensive income, including specified totals

and subtotals. It also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures and includes new

requirements for the aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of

the primary financial statements and the notes.

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Summary of material accounting policies

Material accounting policies that are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements are set out

below. Material accounting policies that are specific to certain balances or transactions are set out within the

notes to which they relate.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared by combining the financial statements of all the entities

that comprise the Group, being the Company (the parent entity) and its subsidiaries as defined in NZ IFRS 10

– Consolidated Financial Statements. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same

reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All significant inter-company

transactions and balances are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Income and expenses for each subsidiary whose functional currency is not NZD are translated at exchange

rates that approximate the rates at the actual dates of the transactions. Assets and liabilities of such subsidiaries

are translated at exchange rates at balance date. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in the

foreign-currency translation reserve.

Foreign currency translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange

rates that approximate the rates at the actual dates of the transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate at the

reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated

using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that

are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair

values were determined.

Foreign exchange differences are generally recognised in profit or loss. However, exchange differences relating

to the translation of a foreign operation and the effective portion of a hedge of a net investment in foreign

operations are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognised net of GST except when:

• The GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised

as part of the cost of the asset or expense, as applicable.

• Receivables and payables are stated with the amounts of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of the

receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to,

the taxation authority.

Statement of cash flows

The statement of cash flows is prepared exclusive of GST. This is consistent with the method used in the

income statement.

• Operating activities are the principal revenue-producing activities of the Group and other activities that are

not investing or financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities include receipts and repayments of

occupancy advances and refundable accommodation deposits.

• Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of property, plant and equipment, investment properties,

intangible assets, and other investments.

• Financing activities are activities relating to changes in the equity and debt structure of the Group.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group operates in a single industry: the provision of integrated aged care facilities and retirement villages

for older people in New Zealand and Australia. The service delivery process is consistent across all villages, with

similar customer classes, distribution methods, and regulatory environments. As a result, the Group does not

separately report on care and village operations, and these are aggregated within each region.

The Group’s chief operating decision maker is the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer.

The Group has undergone significant structural and operational changes in recent years.

• In late 2023, the Group announced it would no longer use underlying profit as a key performance measure,

shifting focus to cash flow from existing operations, cash flow from development, and IFRS profit/(loss) before

tax and fair-value movements.

• In April 2024, the Board Chair became Executive Chair following the resignation of the Group CEO, and a

significant business improvement programme was initiated.

• In September 2024, the Group transitioned to a function-based services and support structure, replacing

the previous regional model to improve efficiency. This restructure disestablished the Group/Regional

reporting structure used in prior segmental results, with team members appointed to functional roles

regardless of location.

• A new Chief Executive Officer commenced in November 2024 to continue leading the transformation.

As a result of these changes, the internal reporting structure is still being reset, and updates are being embedded

in reporting systems and management processes. During this period, the Board of Directors and Chief Executive

Officer primarily review Group-level financials. Segmentation is relevant in respect of the integrated village

operating earnings before interest expense, tax, depreciation, amortisation and fair-value moments (EBITDAF)

performance of each country and the non-village EBITDAF (mainly centralised support services) across

New Zealand and Australia combined. Currently there is no allocation of support services costs (e.g. clinical or

operations teams) from the non-village to village segments. The segment note has been revised to reflect these

changes and the comparatives have been restated on this basis.

Non-current assets are based on the geographical locations of the assets. Loans and borrowings are based on

the geographical location of the borrower, with an adjustment between regions to account for start-up funding

borrowed in New Zealand which was used as equity in the Australian operation. The accounting policies of the

reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies.

Information about major customers

Included in total revenue is revenue that arose from sales to the Group’s largest customers.

The Group derives care-fee revenue for eligible government-subsidised residents who receive aged residential

care, and in Australia, home care. In New Zealand, the government aged care subsidies received from Health

New Zealand – Te Whatu Ora amounted to $171.5 million (2024: $157.5 million). In Australia, subsidies received

from Australian Government Services Australia amounted to $63.3 million (2024: $46.6 million). There are no

other significant customers.

3. REVENUE

Accounting policy: Revenue

The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources:

• Care and village fees

• Deferred management fees

• Imputed interest income on refundable accommodation deposits.

Care and village fees

Care fees relate to the provision of accommodation, care and related services to aged care residents. Village

fees relate to the provision of accommodation and related services to independent residents in the Group’s

retirement villages.

Care-facility and retirement village service fees are linked to providing services on specific days (service dates).

Revenue from care-facility and retirement village service fees is recognised on completion of the service dates.

Deferred management fees

Residents of the Group’s independent-living units and serviced apartments pay a deferred management fee

for lifetime occupation (or a shorter period at the resident’s discretion) and the right to share in the use of the

community facilities. The deferred management fee is calculated as a percentage of the occupation right

agreement amount. The fee accrues monthly, for a set period, based on the terms of individual contracts.

Deferred management fees are payable when residents exit their unit and are netted off the gross occupation

advance which is returned to residents.

Revenue from deferred management fees is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of service,

which is determined as the greater of the expected period of tenure or the contractual right to receive deferred

management fees. The timing of revenue recognition is an accounting estimate, with expected tenure based on

historical experience across villages. These assumptions are reviewed periodically and may change to reflect

evolving life expectancy. In the current year, more sophisticated methods were applied, incorporating actuarial

tables and consideration of resident mix. For residents entering from 1 April 2024, the tenure estimate was revised.

The impact of this change is disclosed in Note 1.

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

that these arrangements qualify as leases under NZ IFRS 16 – Leases, with the Group acting as the lessor. In

accordance with NZ IFRS 16, the fair value of the non-cash consideration—represented by an interest-free loan

from the resident—must be recognised as income, with a corresponding interest expense. There is no net impact

on profit or loss. This only applies to refundable accommodation deposits and not where there is another form of

payment for accommodation such as daily accommodation premiums or deferred management fees.

The Group has determined the use of the Maximum Permissible Interest rate (MPIR) as the interest rate to be used

in the calculation of the imputed interest income on Australian refundable accommodation deposits and bonds.

The MPIR is a rate set by the Australian Government and is used to calculate the Daily Accommodation Payment

(DAP) to applicable residents. This ranged between 8.34%–8.42% (2024: 7.46%–8.38%).

In New Zealand, the implicit interest rate used to convert a room premium to a refundable accommodation

deposit is used to calculate the imputed interest income. This is currently 6.06% (2024: 5.20%–6.06%).

Accounting policy: Revenue in advance

Revenue in advance represents those amounts by which the deferred management fees over the contractual

period exceed recognition of the deferred management fees based on expected tenure.

The Group has revised its cost capitalisation methodology and a lower proportion of centralised support services

costs are capitalised. As a change in accounting policy, the comparatives have been restated.

Employee expenses relating to sales advisors, including commission payments, which were previously classified

as direct selling expenses, have been reclassified to employee expenses. This amounted to $9.0 million in 2024

and was reclassified in the comparative period.

5. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTISATION EXPENSE

Accounting policy: Depreciation and amortisation

Property, plant and equipment

Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, at straight-line (SL) rates

calculated to allocate the asset’s cost or valuation, less estimated residual value, over their estimated useful lives,

starting from the time the assets are ready for use, as follows.

• Buildings 2% SL

• Plant and equipment 4–25% SL

• Furniture and fittings 10–20% SL

• Motor vehicles 20% SL

• Right of use assets Term of lease SL.

Software

Amortisation is provided on internally generated software assets and acquired software assets as follows.

• Internally generated software 10–25% SL

• Acquired software 10–25% SL.

The estimated useful lives, residual value and depreciation/amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each

reporting period, with the effects of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

6. FINANCE COSTS

Accounting policy: Loans and borrowing costs

Loan and borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets

(assets that take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use) are added to the costs of those

assets until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use.

Capitalisation of interest commences when expenditure and borrowing costs are incurred and the activities

necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are in progress. The activities necessary to prepare the asset

for its intended use encompass more than the physical construction of the asset and therefore the capitalisation

of interest costs may commence before the physical construction of the properties.

If development activities are suspended for an extended period, capitalisation of the borrowing costs should

also cease until such time as the activities are resumed. This does not apply where substantial technical and

administrative work continues during a suspension in physical construction, or if it is a temporary delay that is a

necessary part of the process of getting an asset ready for its intended use or sale. Capitalisation of interest costs

continues until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. For independent units, this occurs when

occupation is permitted, and for main buildings, when the aged care facility is certified for use.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred.

7. INCOME TAX

Accounting policy: Income tax

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Tax expense is recognised in the income statement except

when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax expense

is recognised in other comprehensive income or in equity.

Deferred tax is provided for temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for

financial reporting and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not provided for on land and on

temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting

profit nor taxable profit, and do not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.

The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the way the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are

expected to be realised and settled. The Group assesses deferred tax on investment properties on the basis that

the asset value will be realised through use. The carrying value of the Group’s investment properties is determined

on a discounted cash flow basis and includes cash flows that are both taxable and non-taxable in the future. The

Group recognises deferred tax on cash flows with a future tax consequence.

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that the entity has sufficient taxable temporary differences or it

is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be used.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation

authority and the Group intends to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Unrecognised deductible temporary differences – tax losses

The Group has reassessed the recoverability of the deferred tax asset recognised in respect of unused tax losses

as at year end. In conducting this assessment, the Board considered the Group’s recent financial performance

relative to previous forecasts, its updated financial forecast, and prevailing economic conditions.

Under NZ IAS 12 – Income Taxes, the recognition of a deferred tax asset for unused tax losses requires robust

evidence that it is probable future taxable profits will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Given

the Group’s recent financial results, the challenging operating environment, and the increase in the unused tax

loss balance during the current year, management has determined that this threshold is not currently met.

Accordingly, the Group now recognises a deferred tax asset on tax losses only to the extent that it offsets existing

deferred tax liabilities. This is a change in estimate and prospectively applied. As a result, a deferred tax asset

of $188.5 million has been derecognised, with a corresponding income tax expense recognised in the income

statement for the current period.

The derecognised tax losses remain available to the Group for future use, provided the relevant requirements

under applicable tax legislation are met. This includes satisfying the shareholding continuity requirements, or

where applicable, the New Zealand and Australian business continuity tests.

Unrecognised tax losses of NZ$505.7 million and A$412.2 million can be carried forward indefinitely and

continue to represent a potential future tax benefit to the Group, notwithstanding their current derecognition

for accounting purposes.

Unrecognised deductible temporary differences – other

In Australia, the Treasury Laws Amendment (Making Multinationals Pay Their Fair Share – Integrity and

Transparency) Act 2024, which received royal assent in April 2024, introduced amended thin capitalisation

interest limitation rules effective for the Group’s Australian subsidiaries from 1 April 2024. These rules limit net

interest deductions to 30% of an entity’s tax EBITDA (which is broadly based on the concept of taxable income

before interest and depreciation). The Australian subsidiaries’ current tax profile means they are denied a

deduction for their net interest costs in the current period but are permitted to carry forward the denied interest

deductions for up to 15 years, subject to satisfying certain integrity rules at the time the denied interest deductions

are sought to be recouped. The Group has decided to not recognise a deferred tax asset in respect of its denied

net interest deductions balance of A$76.7 million.

8. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Accounting policy: Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in banks and on-demand deposits, and other short

term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk

of changes in value. This includes all call borrowing, such as bank overdrafts, used by the Group as part of its

day-to-day cash management.

In accordance with the Construction Contracts (Retention Money) Amendment Act 2023, commencing

5 October 2023 retention money is held in a separate bank account on trust. This is held in a compliant account

with a registered bank and is not subject to the nightly sweep. This amounts to $11.1 million at 31 March 2025

(2024: $13.9 million).

The Group has access to an overdraft facility. The bank overdraft facility is secured by a General Security Deed

and mortgages over the freehold land and buildings of the Group in the same manner as the bank loans (note 19).

Interest is payable at the ANZ Institutional Overdraft Base Rate. The interest rate on all overdraft facilities at

31 March 2025 was 7.05% (2024: 10.75%).

The Group has no bank accounts outside of the regions in which we currently operate (New Zealand and Australia).

9. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Accounting policy: Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are measured at amortised cost, less any impairment. This is equivalent to fair value, being

the receivable face (or nominal) value, less appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. The

allowance recognised is the lifetime expected credit losses based on an assessment of each individual debtor.

It is estimated based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience and general economic conditions. Expected

credit loss represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events in the expected

life of a debtor. Trade receivables are written off when there is no realistic chance of recovery.

These debtors are non-interest bearing, although the Group has the right to charge interest on overdue

settlements of occupancy advances or overdue care and village fees.

Care and village fees receivables are amounts due from residents and various government agencies in the

ordinary course of business.

Occupancy advance receivable and liability is recognised at the point when the resident takes possession of the

unit. Possession marks the point at which the resident will typically fully pay the occupancy advance. Previously

this was when a legally binding contract was in place and the unit was either complete or considered to have met

the threshold for inclusion in the investment property valuation.

The receivables balance relates to residents who have transferred within the village and whose units have

not been cash-settled, as their equity is retained in their previous unit, or to residents who have been granted

possession of a unit prior to cash receipt, primarily for health-related reasons. There is limited credit risk for this

population as the previous equity balance or a deposit is retained which will likely cover any accrued DMF.

The refundable accommodation deposit balance has significantly decreased due to a change in business

practices, whereby refundable accommodation deposit benefits are no longer provided until funds are received

from internally transferring residents.

detail in note 1.

10. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

Accounting policy: Assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as assets held for sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily

through sale rather than through continuing use.

Investment property held for sale is measured at fair value, with any valuation adjustment recognised through

fair-value movements in the profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment held for sale is measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less

costs to sell. Any impairment losses on their initial classification as assets held for sale and any subsequent gains

and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.

Where a contracted sale price is available, this is considered the best indicator for fair value. Where no contracted

price is available, the fair value is determined by independent valuers. These valuations use comparable

transactions and hypothetical development methods. The valuation reflects the highest and best use of the

assets. This assessment considers the use of the asset that is physically possible, legally permissible and

financially feasible.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

As described in note 1, the Nellie Melba land has been held for sale since March 2024 but was previously

incorrectly included in investment property. The March 2024 balance has been restated to correctly reflect this.

A sale and purchase agreement has been signed for the Karori land (Wellington, New Zealand) at a price

of $23.0 million, conditional on certain matters to be satisfied by the Group. Settlement is anticipated by

October 2025.

Excess land at Nellie Melba (Melbourne, Australia) has been sold for A$9.0 million (NZ$9.9 million), with

settlement expected by December 2025.

The land at Kohimarama (Auckland, New Zealand) no longer meets the definition of held for sale and has been

reclassified back to investment property. The Group is still committed to selling the site, but it does not meet

the definition of actively marketed and likely to be sold within 12 months.

The Newtown land was settled in the period and all monies were received by the Group.

11. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Accounting policy: Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment includes completed aged care facilities (land, buildings, plant and equipment,

fixtures and fittings), aged care facilities under development, corporate assets and right-of-use assets (refer note

22). The Group has revised its accounting policy, now recognising development land within investment property.

This was previously included in property, plant and equipment. This change was retrospectively applied.

All property, plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost. Cost includes cost of land, materials, wages and

interest incurred during the period required to complete and prepare an asset for its intended use. It also includes

centralised support services costs directly attributable to the construction of the aged care facilities. The Group

has revised its capitalisation policy following an assessment of the eligibility of the underlying cost base, resulting

in a lower level of capitalisation. This change was retrospectively applied.

Once an aged care facility reaches practical completion and is ready for use, land and buildings are carried

at a revalued amount, which is the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated

depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, since the assets were last revalued. Furniture and

fittings and plant and equipment for the aged care facility are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and

impairment. Independent valuations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount

does not differ materially from the asset’s fair value at the balance sheet date. Previously, newly completed

facilities that had not operated for a full financial year were held at cost and assessed to ensure no material

difference from fair value.

For aged care facilities under development, land and buildings are carried at cost, with land initially recorded

at its most recent valuation prior to construction. An assessment is made to determine whether carrying value

materially differs from fair value, and impairment is recognised if required.

Revaluations to fair value are based on a valuation report prepared by independent valuers at the reporting date in

line with NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement. Valuations are currently performed annually by CBRE Limited and

CBRE Valuations Pty Limited. All valuers are registered valuers and industry specialists in valuing the aged care

sector. Fair value is determined by reference to market-based evidence, which is the amount for which the assets

could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a knowledgeable willing seller in an arm’s length

transaction as at the valuation date.

The Group’s aged care facilities were previously valued on a freehold going concern basis, which reflected the

integrated value of land, buildings, furniture. plant and equipment, and goodwill associated with the facility, with the

assumption that goodwill was immaterial. The Group has revised its approach to value only the land and buildings.

This change was retrospectively applied.

73
Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

As the fair value of land and buildings is determined using inputs that are unobservable (such as capitalisation

rates and market value per care bed), the Group has categorised property, plant and equipment as Level 3 under

the fair-value hierarchy in line with NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement.

Any revaluation surplus is recorded in other comprehensive income, unless it reverses a revaluation decrease of

the same asset previously recognised in the income statement. In this case, the increase is credited to the income

statement to the extent of the decrease previously charged. Any revaluation deficit is recognised in the income

statement unless it directly offsets a previous surplus of the same asset in the asset revaluation reserve, in which

case the revaluation deficit is recorded in other comprehensive income. Any accumulated depreciation at the

revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset, and the net amount is restated to

the revalued amount of the asset.

All other plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment.

Where the Group enters into a long-term lease of land and obtains control over the land such that it can direct its

use without significant restrictions, and the present value of lease payments substantially reflects the fair value

of the land, the arrangement is assessed as being economically similar to a purchase of land. In these cases, the

Group accounts for the land under NZ IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment, rather than recognising a right-of-

use asset under NZ IFRS 16 – Leases. This accounting reflects the substance of the transaction and the transfer

of control and economic benefits to the Group. Leasehold land is included in the fair value of aged-care facilities,

as determined by the independent valuer.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are

expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. On disposal, any resulting gain or loss is included in the

income statement and any revaluation reserve relating to a particular asset being disposed of is transferred to

retained earnings.

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The Group has revised several accounting policies during the period, as discussed in note 1. The comparative

period has been restated.

• Reclassification of development land: Development land is now recognised within investment property,

whereas it was previously classified under property, plant, and equipment.

• Updated cost capitalisation methodology: A lower proportion of centralised support services costs are

now capitalised under the revised approach.

• Valuation of aged care facilities: These are now valued as land and buildings, rather than as freehold going

concern. This results in internally generated goodwill no longer recognised for financial reporting purposes,

and the gross-up of New Zealand refundable accommodation deposits is no longer recognised with the

revised valuation process.

The Group has also reclassified building fit-out related to corporate right-of-use assets from buildings to furniture

and fittings. This has been applied consistently in the comparative period. The 2024 closing accumulated

depreciation relates to operating aged-care facilities which were not subject to valuation.

Valuation methodology

The independent valuers determine the fair value of land and buildings using a capitalisation of notional annual

rental income. In this context, ‘rent’ refers to the estimated amount a third-party operator would pay to lease the

facility, assuming the Group were the landlord rather than the operator. This notional rent does not reflect the

accommodation charges paid by current residents.

The predominant method used by the independent valuer to determine a market rental for land and buildings

is the direct comparison approach on a dollars per bed basis, with some consideration given to the rental as a

percentage of gross revenue. A value is then established for the land using market-based evidence reflecting

highest and best use. The residual amount is attributed to buildings.

The independent valuers note that the aged care market is subject to government subsidies which regulate, and

in many cases, cap the level of revenue a facility can generate. Therefore, unlike the general commercial market,

regardless of quality, a facility will receive the same government fee rate per bed irrespective of location, room size,

scale, age, and quality to the detriment of higher quality facilities. Aged care facilities are a specialised form of realty

and market rental can be no greater than that able to be generated by an appropriately managed and marketed

enterprise. In the independent valuers opinion, premium charging is mostly attributable to the operator of an aged

care facility, rather than the landlord, and included in the freehold going concern valuation of the business.

The independent valuers used a range of significant assumptions to value the care facilities as follows. Care suites

under an occupation right agreement were valued as a care bed in the current year as their recent introduction

means they represent an immaterial portion of the Group’s asset base.

Average market rental value – Australia 603592

A significant increase (decrease) in the market rental value may result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.

The variability between countries reflects significant differences in the relative profitability of villages, driven

primarily by the more favourable aged care funding model in Australia. This increases the rent a market

participant may be willing to pay.

The Australian valuer notes that quality, new aged care facilities are seldomly leased to a third party and where

they are the information is not freely available to the market. The New Zealand valuer notes that less than 6.5%

of the market is subject to third party lease arrangements. Many operations are owner occupied, agreements are

between related parties, or subject to formula-based reviews.

Classification of property interests

The Group holds a freehold interest in all land and improvements other than the following properties which

Ryman holds a leasehold interest in the land: Princess Alexander (Napier – part of site), Bob Scott (Wellington),

William Sanders (Auckland), and Miriam Corban (Auckland). In the majority of these instances the ground rental

has been either fully or partially prepaid. The interest in the right-of-use asset is held at fair value, as determined

by the independent valuer.

Security

Some residents make interest-free advances (refundable accommodation deposits and occupancy advances)

to the aged care facilities in exchange for the right to occupy a care room. Under the terms of the New Zealand

occupancy agreements, the refundable accommodation deposit and occupancy advance is secured by a

registered first mortgage in favour of the Statutory Supervisor over the assets of the aged care facility. Residents

in Victoria, Australia have the benefit of a government guarantee under the Aged Care (Accommodation Payment

Security) Act 2006 and there is no security against the Group’s assets.

Right-of-use assets

Included within property, plant and equipment are the right-of-use assets relating to leases.

Impairment losses

The exclusion of internally generated goodwill from the aged-care facility valuation, along with the removal of the

New Zealand refundable accommodation deposit gross-up, resulted in impairment of several aged-care facilities.

As the change was applied retrospectively, additional impairment was recognised in the comparative period.

Following the impairment of a number of recently released aged care facilities within the Group’s portfolio, this was considered to

be an indicator of impairment for any other aged care facilities in advanced stages of construction. Kevin Hickman Retirement

Village, which is scheduled to open in June 2025, was not independently valued as it remained incomplete at the reporting date.

An internal desktop assessment was undertaken, and it was concluded that an impairment charge should be recognised for this

facility. This was based on a market rental value and capitalisation rate of comparable villages.

12. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

Accounting policy: Investment properties

Investment properties are intended to be held for the long term to earn rental income and for capital appreciation.

It includes land and buildings (including long-term leases of land), equipment and furnishings relating to retirement

village units and community facilities, including units and facilities under development. The Group has revised its

accounting policy regarding the classification of land. Land acquired with the intention of constructing investment

property or held for an undetermined future use is now classified as investment property from the date of

acquisition. Previously, such land was included in property, plant, and equipment.

Investment property is initially measured at cost. Cost includes cost of land, materials, wages and interest

incurred during the period required to complete and prepare an asset for its intended use. It also includes

centralised support and services costs directly attributable to the construction of the investment property.

The Group has revised its head office capitalisation policy following an assessment of the eligibility of the

underlying cost base, resulting in a lower level of capitalisation.

Land purchases are recognised as assets when the Group obtains control of the land and it is probable that

future economic benefits will flow to the Group, and the cost can be measured reliably. Control is typically

evidenced by the transfer of legal title or an equivalent contractual right. Prior to settlement and transfer of

title, deposits paid are recognised as other receivables. The remaining commitment is disclosed in the

commitments note to the financial statements. The Group will often negotiate terms whereby the title is

transferred with settlement deferred. In such instances, the land is recognised as an asset at the full purchase

price upon transfer of title. A corresponding liability is recognised for the deferred settlement amount,

measured at its present value, and the associated cash outflow is recognised accordingly.

Completed retirement village units and community facilities are subsequently measured at fair value.

The Group has revised its accounting policy and no longer holds units and community facilities under

development at fair value, instead carrying them at cost. In prior years a proportion of units and community

facilities which were nearing completion were valued.

Development land is land pending physical construction on site. There may be two components to development

land: the land itself and capitalised WIP. The land is carried at fair value and the capitalised WIP is carried at cost

until its fair value becomes reliably measurable or when the development is completed, whichever is earlier. It

is subject to impairment testing and is monitored for any indicators of impairment, such as if the development

doesn’t have a sufficiently certain likelihood of commencing.

Any change in fair value is recognised in the income statement. Investment properties are not depreciated.

Fair value is determined by independent valuers, CBRE Limited (New Zealand retirement villages), and

Jones Lang LaSalle Advisory Services Pty Ltd (Australian retirement villages), in line with NZ IFRS 13 – Fair

Value Measurement. Fair value is assessed twice a year, with a desktop review at interim reporting periods

and a full valuation at year-end reporting periods. All valuers are registered valuers and industry specialists

in valuing the retirement living sector. These valuations consider the requirement of NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value

Measurement to assume that market participants act in their economic best interests. Previously multiple

valuations were obtained for completed investment properties and a midpoint of the two valuations was applied

to provide a more stable estimate of value. The Group has moved to a single valuation in the current year.

Development land is valued using the direct comparison approach and retirement villages are valued using

a discounted cash flow approach. As the fair value of investment property is determined using inputs that

are unobservable, the Group has categorised investment property as Level 3 under the fair-value hierarchy,

in line with NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement.

As required by NZ IAS 40 – Investment Property, the fair value as determined by the independent registered

valuer is adjusted for assets and liabilities already recognised on the balance sheet which are also reflected

in the discounted cash flow analysis.

81
Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Where the Group enters into a long-term lease of land and obtains control over the land such that it can direct its

use without significant restrictions, and the present value of lease payments substantially reflects the fair value

of the land, the arrangement is assessed as being economically similar to a purchase of land. In these cases,

the Group accounts for the land under NZ IAS 40 – Investment Property, rather than recognising a right-of-use

asset under NZ IFRS 16 – Leases. This accounting reflects the substance of the transaction and the transfer of

control and economic benefits to the Group. Leasehold land is included in the fair value of investment property,

as determined by the independent valuer.

Revenue associated with investment properties, being the management fee and retirement village service fees,

is accounted for in line with note 3.

• Updated cost capitalisation methodology: A lower proportion of centralised support services costs are now

capitalised under the revised approach.

it was previously classified as investment property.

The comparative period has been restated, with further detail in note 1.

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Valuation methodology

For retirement village assets, the predominant form of income is ‘roll-over’ income which typically occurs on the

departure of village residents who have owned an occupation licence. The independent valuer uses a discounted

cash flow methodology, which estimates the present value of future cash flows from occupation right agreements,

deferred management fees, and village fees

Development land is valued using the direct comparison approach, whereby recent sales of block land preferably

of similar potential and characteristics in terms of size, average section realisation values and development costs

have been compared to the relevant Group property. Consideration is then given to the individual characteristics

of the Group’s property including consent status.

The independent valuers have adopted several changes to their valuation methodology to reflect updated

business practices and improve alignment with the Group’s contractual arrangements and operational data.

Key changes in the current period include:

• Adoption of the 30% deferred management fee model: Reflecting the Group’s shift to a 30% DMF as the

preferred contractual arrangement for new residents from 1 October 2024, the valuers have modelled this

structure for all future incoming residents.

• Indexation of weekly fees: Adoption of the indexed weekly fee for future residents, following the introduction

by the Group from 1 October 2024.

• Inclusion of development land: The valuation scope has been expanded to include land held for future

development, including land adjacent to existing villages, undeveloped portions of active construction sites,

and land yet to be developed.

• Inclusion of leased property: For the first time, the Group has valued the Eastmed Medical Centre

(located next to Grace Joel, Auckland) which is owned by the Group, to better reflect its fair value.

• Valuation based on possession date: Occupation right agreements are now valued based on the current

contract in possession, consistent with the Group’s recognition of unit ‘sales’ on possession rather than

on application.

• Modelling of repaid resales stock: Units where the exiting resident has been repaid are no longer treated

as occupied by the independent valuer. The incoming resident’s cash inflow is now considered separately,

using an “in one line” valuation approach that incorporates a discount for profit and risk.

• Inclusion of carparks: Carparks subject to a separate occupation right agreement are now included in

the valuation.

• Modelling of bespoke contractual arrangements: Valuation assumptions now incorporate bespoke ORA

terms where applicable, reverting standard terms on future rollovers.

• Transaction costs: Transaction costs are no longer deducted within the valuation by the Australian

independent valuer. The Group had previously added-back this amount.

• Internal transfers with deferred management fee cap implications: Internal transfers of existing residents,

where impacted by deferred management fee caps or suspended capital contributions, are now modelled

within the valuation framework. The independent valuer has confirmed that no explicit allowance has been

made within the valuation for internal transfers on future rollovers.

Total investment property10,812,54210,142,199

The fair value of investment property determined by the independent valuer includes an allowance for the amount

that is payable by the Group to existing residents. However, this occupancy advance liability is already recognised

by the Group (see note 21). To avoid double counting, the Group adds this liability to the external valuation to gross

up the fair value of investment property in accordance with NZ IAS 40.

Occupancy advance adjustments in the prior year relate to differences between the value of net occupancy

advances included for future repayment within the independent valuation and the net occupancy advances on

the balance sheet. These differences may arise when an occupancy advance has been repaid but is still included

in the valuation (repaid resale units) or when a unit has multiple occupancy advances and only the most recent

occupancy advance is included within the valuation cash flows. This adjustment is made to ensure the total

adjustment to the independent valuation of completed units is consistent with the liabilities included within the

independent valuation of completed units. In the current year the independent valuer has adjusted their valuation

approach to model repaid resale stock using an ‘in one line’ methodology and this limits the requirement for

adjustments to the external valuation.

The previous reconciliation has been restated due to the accounting policy change for the recognition of the

occupancy advance asset (debtor) and liability, resulting in reclassification of certain amounts. In addition,

the removal of the discounting of the accrued deferred management fee from prior periods and reduced cost

capitalisation led to a reduction in the value of investment property. Additional details can be found in note 1.

The March 2024 Australian valuation was undertaken by a panel of two independent valuers: CBRE and JLL. The growth rates,

discount rates, current average age and stabilised departing occupancy periods in the March 2024 period are reflective of JLL’s

assumptions only to improve consistency with March 2025, where only JLL performed the valuation.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Market risk identified by the independent valuers

The independent valuers comment that the global and local economic outlook remains uncertain due to

geopolitical tensions, trade fragmentation, and recent tariff announcements. In New Zealand, the Official Cash Rate

(OCR) was reduced to 3.50% in April 2025 with the valuers noting that there was an expectation of further cuts

to come. Mortgage rates are not expected to move materially below current levels as further cuts have already

been priced in. Market sentiment in the commercial property sector is gradually improving after the historical lows

experienced in 2024. The valuers reiterate that their conclusions are based on data and market sentiment as at the

date of valuation. For the avoidance of doubt, this does not constitute a ‘material valuation uncertainty’.

Classification of property interests

The Group holds a freehold interest in all land and improvements other than the following properties which

Ryman holds a leasehold interest in the land: Princess Alexander (Napier – part of site), Bob Scott (Wellington),

William Sanders (Auckland), Miriam Corban (Auckland) and Kohimarama (Auckland – development land). In the

majority of the instances the ground rental has been either fully or partially prepaid. The interest in the right-of-use

asset related to these sites is held at fair value, as determined by the independent valuer.

Capitalised WIP for land bank relates to development sites where construction has not yet commenced,

undeveloped land at existing villages that are not classified as active sites, or early-stage construction sites that

have been reclassified as land bank.

Capitalised WIP is written off once a decision to sell has been confirmed, if not already expensed. Impairment

testing is conducted at reporting dates, considering factors such as uncertainty about future development plans

or the suspension of early-stage construction with no confirmed resumption date. Following changes to the

Group’s strategy and review of the land bank portfolio in 2025, the capitalised WIP at the remaining land bank

sites was determined to be impaired.

Operating expenses

Direct operating expenses arising from investment property that generated income from deferred management

fees during the period amounted to $73.8 million (31 March 2024: $70.7 million). Operating expenses include

building and grounds costs, repairs and maintenance and sales expenses. All investment property generated

income for the Group, except for assets under development and those held for sale.

Security

Residents make interest-free advances (occupancy advances) to the retirement villages in exchange for the right

to occupy retirement village units. Under the terms of the majority of New Zealand occupancy agreements, the

occupancy advance is secured by a registered first mortgage in favour of the Statutory Supervisor over the assets

of the retirement village. There are a relatively small number of older occupancy agreements where the residents

instead received a life interest in their unit, with the Group holding the reversionary interest. These residents’

occupancy advances are secured by a registered first mortgage over that residual interest. Residents in Victoria,

Australia have the benefit of a charge over the title for the land under the Retirement Villages Act 1986.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

13. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Accounting policy: Intangible assets

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Internally generated software assets

An internally generated intangible software asset arising from development (or from the development phase

of an internal project) is only recognised if all the following criteria have been demonstrated.

• It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it is available for use or sale.

• The Group intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.

• The intangible asset can be used or sold.

• Probable future economic benefits of the intangible asset can be generated.

• Adequate technical, financial, and other resources are available to complete the development and use

or sell the intangible asset.

• The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset can be measured during its development.

Where no internally generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in

profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Internally generated intangible assets are initially measured at cost. This includes the cost of materials and

services, wages and interest incurred during the period required to complete and prepare an asset for its intended

use. It also includes centralised support services costs directly attributable to development of the asset. The

Group has revised its capitalisation policy following an assessment of the eligibility of the underlying cost base,

resulting in a lower level of capitalisation.

After initial recognition, internally generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation

and accumulated impairment losses.

Acquired software assets

Acquired software assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated

impairment losses.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

SaaS arrangements are service contracts providing the Group with the right to access a cloud provider’s

application software over the contract period.

Costs incurred to configure or customise, and the ongoing fees to obtain access to a SaaS provider’s application

software, are recognised as operating expenses when the services are received.

However, where costs incurred are for the development of software code that enhances or modifies, or creates

an additional capability for, existing software assets and meets the definition of and recognition criteria for an

intangible asset, those costs are recognised as software assets and amortised over the useful life of the software

on a straight-line basis.

The Group has revised its accounting policy regarding the capitalisation of centralised support services costs and

determined a lower proportion of these costs should be capitalised. As a result, the Group has reduced the level

of capitalisation for the current period, and comparative figures have been restated to reflect the revised policy.

Refer to note 1 for further details.

Impairment review

The Group has identified indicators of impairment relating to its internally developed software applications in

the current year following the strategic changes within the business. Ernst & Young Strategy and Transactions

Limited was engaged to perform a valuation to support the identification of impairment. The valuation

considered the replacement cost method, using two variants – replacement cost using proxy subscription

costs and replacement cost at current costs having regard to obsolescence. A cross check was performed

against broad level estimates of comparable development / purchase costs for patient administration systems

or admin / enterprise software systems.

The fair value of the internally developed software applications was assessed to be within a range of $11.4 million

to $19.3 million by an independent valuer. In light of the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing use of the assets, the

timing and extent of future economic benefits, and potential replacement plans, the directors have adopted the

lower end of the valuation range. As a result, an impairment expense of $20.5 million has been recognised in the

current period.

14. SHARE CAPITAL

Accounting policy: Ordinary shares

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as deductions from equity.

Although the shares purchased for the leadership share scheme are treated as treasury stock under financial

reporting standards, they are not of the type contemplated by section 67A of the Companies Act 1993. They

carry the usual rights attached to shares such as the right to receive dividends (albeit subject to contractual

requirements under the share scheme to apply dividend payments to repay loans) and the right to participate

in corporate actions. On this basis, the treasury stock has been included in the calculation of basic and diluted

earnings per share.

Issued and paid-up capital consists of 1,015,712,784 fully paid ordinary shares (2024: 687,641,738 shares) less

treasury stock of 1,170,990 shares (2024: 2,494,282 shares). All shares rank equally in all respects.

Shares historically purchased on market under the leadership share scheme (note 26) are treated as treasury

stock (note 15) until they are vested to the employees.

Equity raise

The Company raised a total of approximately $1 billion under the Placement and Entitlement Offer announced on

24 February 2025. This included gross proceeds of approximately $721 million received under the Placement and

Institutional Entitlement Offer, and approximately $280 million in gross proceeds under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

The purpose of the equity raise was to enhance the Group’s financial position in the current market and provide

the platform to achieve improved performance and value for shareholders as market conditions recover.

The increase in share capital of $970.2 million was net of directly attributable share issue costs of $30.5 million.

The Company issued 328,071,046 new ordinary shares in February to March 2025 in respect of the equity raise.

Nature of reserves

• Asset revaluation reserve reflects unrealised gains from the upward revaluation of aged care facilities,

recognised directly in equity rather than through profit or loss.

• Cash-flow hedge reserve reflects the cumulative effective gains or losses on cash-flow hedges, deferred in

equity until the hedged cash-flows impact profit or loss.

• Foreign-currency translation reserve captures exchange differences from translating the financial statements

of foreign operations into the Group’s reporting currency.

• Treasury stock represents shares purchased on market under the previous leadership share scheme where

they have not vested to the employee.

• Share-based payments reserve represents the accumulated value of equity-based compensation that has

been recognised as an expense but not yet exercised.

Dividends paid

In 2023 the directors determined that it was in the best interests of the Company to suspend dividends as the

balance sheet is reset. No dividends have been declared or paid in the 12 months to March 2025 (2024: nil).

The directors plan to review the dividend policy during the 2026 financial year. Any future dividend policy is

expected to be based on cash flow. Under the terms of the Syndicated Facility Agreement, the Group cannot

pay a dividend without the consent of the majority lenders until Interest Cover Ratio compliance is reported

for the 30 September 2026 testing period.

16. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES

Accounting policy: Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are measured at amortised cost. This is equivalent to the face (or nominal) value of

payables, which is assumed to approximate their fair value.

20252024

$000$000

Trade payables85,089117,502

Land purchase accruals9,50027,819

Other payables18,9895,299

Total trade and other payables113,578150,620

Trade payables are typically paid within 30 days of the invoice date or on the 20th of the month following the

invoice date.

When purchasing land, the Group will often negotiate terms where title is transferred with settlement deferred.

Land purchase accruals reflect this liability.

17. EMPLOYEE ENTITLEMENTS

Accounting policy: Employee entitlements

A liability for benefits accruing to employees for wages and salaries, annual leave and long-service leave is

accrued and recognised in the statement of financial position when it is probable that settlement will be required,

and the liabilities are capable of being measured reliably.

Holidays Act remediation

The Group has identified that past and present New Zealand employees may have received incorrect payments

dating back to 2010 due to the complexity of the Holidays Act 2003 and the nature of our dynamic workforce.

The issues relate to entitlements under the Holidays Act 2003, and how a range of allowances and entitlements

have been interpreted and calculated. External consultants supported management in 2024 to propose a

remediation strategy to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). This remains under review

by MBIE at balance date. A provision of $24.0 million is held on balance sheet from March 2024, with no change

in the current period.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

18. REFUNDABLE ACCOMMODATION DEPOSITS

Accounting policy: Refundable accommodation deposits

Refundable accommodation deposits relate to deposits held on behalf of residents who reside in rooms in the

care facilities in Australia and New Zealand. Refundable accommodation deposits confer to residents the right

of occupancy of the rooms for life, or until the residents terminate the agreements. The deposit is repayable

following the termination of the right to occupy.

Amounts payable under refundable accommodation deposits are non-interest bearing and recorded as a

liability in the statement of financial position.

As a resident may terminate their occupancy with limited notice, and the refundable accommodation deposit is

non-interest bearing and has demand features, it is carried at face value, which is the original deposit received.

In New Zealand, a refundable accommodation deposit is repayable within 30 working days of a resident vacating

their care room. The Group is liable to pay interest if it does not repay the deposit within that period.

In Australia, the repayment obligation is within 14 days of a resident vacating their care room, or of sighting

the probate or letters of administration. The Group is liable to pay interest at a base interest rate within the

14-day period, and at the higher maximum permissible interest rate after that. These rates are published by

the Department of Health and Aged Care on a quarterly basis.

Refundable accommodation deposits in Australia must only be used for permitted uses in accordance with

the Aged Care Act 1997 and the Fees and Payments Principles 2014 (No.2). Permitted uses of refundable

deposits include:

• Capital expenditure to invest in new residential aged care infrastructure

• To repay debt accrued for capital expenditure

• Investments in certain financial products and/or Religious Charitable Development Funds (RCDFs)

• To make a loan under specific conditions

• To refund refundable deposit balances

• To meet reasonable business losses that are incurred during the first 12 months that the approved provider

receives residential care subsidy.

Refundable accommodation deposits in Australia must not be used to pay for the day-to-day costs of operating

a service such as staff wages or the purchase of consumables.

There are no such restrictions in respect of the New Zealand refundable accommodation deposits, which are

structured as an occupation right agreement.

19. INTEREST-BEARING LOANS AND BORROWINGS

Accounting policy: Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

Bank loans and borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, less directly attributable transaction costs. After

initial recognition, loans and borrowings are measured at amortised cost. Any differences between the initial

amounts recognised and the redemption values are recognised in profit and loss using the effective interest

rate method.

95
Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

At 31 March 2025 interest-bearing loans and borrowings include secured bank loans and unsubordinated

The Group entered into an A$250.0 million seven-year Institutional Term Loan in May 2021, originally set to

mature May 2028. A portion of the loan (A$153.9 million) was subject to a fixed interest rate and the remaining

portion of the loan (A$96.2 million) was subject to floating interest rates. In March 2025, the Group elected

to prepay the loan. The prepayment involved make-whole, prepayment fees and other costs close out of

associated interest rate swap amounting to $25.7 million and costs previously capitalised to the loan were

expensed to the income statement.

Security

The bank loans and retail bonds are secured by a General Security Deed over the parent and subsidiary

companies and supported by mortgages over the freehold land and buildings and a General Security Agreement

(GSA). The GSA and mortgages are first ranking, other than when subordinated to the statutory supervisor who

holds registered mortgages for the benefit of residents over:

• The aged care facilities, as security for residents’ refundable accommodation deposits and occupancy

advances (see note 11); and

• The retirement village (excluding aged care facilities), as security for residents’ occupancy advances

(see note 12).

The subsidiary companies listed in note 1 have all provided guarantees for the Group’s secured loans as parties

to the general security agreement.

Covenants

The Group is subject to capital requirements imposed by its bank and the lenders included in the banking

syndicate through covenants agreed as part of the lending facility arrangements, and bond holders through

covenants in the Master Trust Deed. The Group obtained amendments to the interest cover ratio in

September 2024 and March 2025. These amendments are detailed below.

The following summarises financial covenants which were in place for the year ended 31 March 2025:

• Interest cover ratio (ICR) – the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Interest Expense of not less than 1.50x from

30 September 2026 onwards on a 12-month rolling basis. Both Adjusted EBITDA and Interest Expense

are terms defined in the Syndicated Facilities Agreement

• Adjusted total liabilities to net tangible assets ratio – the total liabilities of the Group (after deducting resident

occupancy advances, Australian resident loans and accommodation bonds owing or held by the Group) to

net tangible assets of the Group is no greater than 1.00x.

The covenants are tested six monthly at 30 September and 31 March, and the Group has complied with all

amended covenants during the period, noting that the ICR is waived for 31 March 2025, 30 September 2025

and 31 March 2026.

In exchange for the lender’s agreement to waive the ICR detailed above, the Group is subject to the following

conditions until it demonstrates compliance with the ICR covenant as at the September 2026 test date (or any

subsequent date):

• No dividends will be paid by the Group without the consent of the majority lenders;

• The Group will not commence any new developments (being development at any village which was not listed

as “under construction” in the 30 September 2024 result) other than with the prior written consent of the

majority lenders; and

• The Group will provide to the lenders a report within 45 days of the end of each quarter (with extension for

financial year-end), setting out the ICR, development updates by village, resales by village, new sales by village

and available stock by village.

20. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Accounting policy: Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date a contract is entered into and

remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date.

The fair values of these derivatives are categorised as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy in NZ IFRS 13 – Fair

Value Measurement. The fair values of these derivatives are derived using inputs that are observable, either

directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). The fair value of interest rate instruments is determined by

discounting the future cash flows using the yield curves at the end of the reporting period and the credit risk

inherent in the contract.

Hedge accounting

The Group designates most of its derivatives as hedging instruments. At inception, each hedge relationship is

formalised in hedge documentation. The Group determines the existence of an economic relationship between

the hedging instrument and the hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of respective cash flows,

interest rates, tenors, repricing dates, maturities and notional amounts at inception. The Group assesses whether

the derivative designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be, and has been, effective in offsetting the

changes in cash flows of the hedged item.

When the derivatives meet the requirements of cash-flow hedge accounting, the effective portion of the change

in the fair value of the derivatives are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated as a separate

component of equity. Amounts deferred in equity are recycled to the income statement in the periods when the

hedged item is recognised in the income statement. The ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement.

When the derivatives meet the requirements of fair value hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of the

derivatives are taken directly to the income statement for the year, to offset the change in fair value of the hedged

item also recorded in the income statement.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedge instrument expires, is terminated or no longer qualifies for

hedge accounting. When hedge accounting for cash-flow hedges is discontinued, the amount accumulated in the

hedging reserve remains in equity until it is reclassified to income statement in the same periods as the hedged

expected future cash flows affect the income statement. If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected

to occur, the amounts accumulated in the hedging reserve are immediately reclassified to the income statement.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

a. Cash-flow hedges

The Group holds various interest rate derivatives to provide an effective cash-flow hedge against floating

interest rate variability on forecast debt. During the period, the Group terminated NZD $495 million of

interest rate derivatives following receipt of funds from the equity raise announced on 24 February 2025

due to the notional value of NZD derivatives exceeding NZD debt. The instruments had a mark-to-market

loss of $5.9 million on termination. Of this loss, $4.2 million was recognised within finance costs in the income

statement during the period and $1.7 million remains in the reserve to be amortised over the original term of

the relating terminated swaps.

Following the terminations detailed above, the hedge ratio is one-to-one, as the notional amount of the interest

rate derivatives matches the face value of the hedged bank loans. As the critical terms of the interest rate

derivative contracts and the hedged item are the same, significant hedge ineffectiveness is not expected.

At 31 March 2025, the Group had a number of interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash-flow

hedges. These derivatives have a total notional principal amount of approximately NZ$1,167.7 million, which is

made up of NZ$645.0 million and A$475.0 million (2024: NZ$1,743.8 million). These derivatives cover terms

of up to six years (2024: six years) and are effective for various periods. Some of these derivatives will become

effective at a future date.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

b. Fair-value hedge

Under a fair-value hedge, the change in the fair value of the hedged risk is attributed to the carrying value of

the underlying Institutional Term Loan. This debt revaluation is recognised in the income statement to offset

the mark-to-market revaluation of the hedging derivative.

In 2022, the Group entered an interest rate swap to mitigate its exposure to fair value changes arising from

the fixed-rate portion of the Institutional Term Loan. The swap, which had a total notional principal amount

of A$53.9 million and a term of seven years, effectively changed the Group’s interest rate exposure on the

principal covered from a fixed to a floating rate. The Group designated A$53.9 million of its Institutional Term

Loan in a fair-value hedge relationship.

In 2025, hedge accounting of the interest rate swap was discontinued, as the Institutional Term Loan was

prepaid. The Group terminated the swap resulting in AUD $4.2 million loss recognised in finance costs within

the income statement. Due to the contractual terms of prepayment which required that the face value of the

loan be repaid, there was no offsetting debt revaluation recognised in the income statement.

c. Modified interest rate swaps

In November 2022 and June 2024, the Group modified interest rate swaps that had been designated in a

cash-flow hedge relationship to reduce near-term interest costs. The modification resulted in a higher

notional principal amount covered and a reduction in the remaining maturities of those swaps. The

modification resulted in the original hedge relationship being discontinued. At discontinuation, the swaps

had mark-to-market gains. As the hedged cash flows are still expected to occur, and notwithstanding the

modified swaps have matured during the current year, the gains remain in the cash-flow hedge reserve and

will be reclassified to income statement over the original hedge period. The swaps modified during the current

year had cumulative gains of NZ$7.5 million in the cash-flow hedge reserve (excluding tax effects). All modified

swaps have matured.

The amounts reclassified to income statement during the year are NZ$5.8 million and A$1.5 million (totalling

NZ$7.4 million) (2024: NZ$2.8 million and A$1.5 million (totalling NZ$4.5 million)). At balance date the

unamortised balance (excluding tax effects) in the cash-flow hedge reserve for the amended swaps

totalled NZ$14.3 million and A$2.2 million (2024: NZ$12.6 million and A$3.7 million).

21. OCCUPANCY ADVANCES (NON-INTEREST BEARING)

Accounting policy: Occupancy advances

An occupation right agreement confers on a resident a right to occupy a retirement village unit for life, or until the

resident terminates the agreement. The Group has revised its accounting policy, now recognising the occupancy

advance asset and liability at the point when the resident takes possession of the unit.

The occupancy advance, net of deferred management fee, is repayable following both the termination of the

occupation right agreement and the settlement of a new occupancy advance for the same retirement village unit.

In New Zealand, the Group is liable to pay interest if the occupancy advance has not been repaid by six months

from the resident vacating the unit. In Australia, there is a legislative requirement to repay occupancy advances

no later than six months after the resident vacates the unit.

Occupancy advances are non-interest bearing and recorded as a liability in the statement of financial position,

net of deferred management fees and suspended contributions receivable. The occupancy advance is initially

recognised at fair value and later at amortised cost. As a resident may terminate their occupancy with limited

notice, and the occupancy advance is non-interest bearing and has demand features, it is carried at face value,

which is the original advance received.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

22. LEASE LIABILITIES

Accounting policy: Leases

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or

contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange

for consideration.

Group as a lessee

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use

asset is initially recognised at cost, comprising of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease

payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are

subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease.

The right-of-use asset may be reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of

the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the remaining cash flows, discounted using the

Group’s incremental borrowing rate, which is calculated with reference to the external borrowing facilities available

to the Group. Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the

measurement of the liabilities.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost under the effective interest rate method, recognising interest

expense in the income statement. It is remeasured when there is a change in the future lease payments arising

from a change in the index or rate, a change in assumptions relating to extensions or if there is a revised fixed lease

payment. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying

amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in the income statement if the carrying amount of the asset has

been reduced to nil.

Depreciation and finance costs for right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with equipment used in the

construction of assets are capitalised as a cost of constructing the assets.

Where a lease contract contains both lease and non-lease components (for example, tower cranes), the Group

does not separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead accounts for the whole contract

as a lease.

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and

short-term leases. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases on a straight-line basis

over the lease term.

Group as a lessor

When the Group acts as lessor, it determines at lease inception whether the lease is a finance or operating lease.

The Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards

incidental to ownership of the underlying asset or whether the lease is for a major part of the economic life of

the asset.

The Group acts as a lessor under occupation right agreements with village residents. These are operating

leases and the assets leased by the Group as a lessor are classified as investment properties. Lease income on

occupation right agreements is generated in the form of deferred management fees and is accounted for in line

with note 3. The lease term is determined to be the greater of the expected period of tenure or the contractual

right to deferred management fees. The Group uses the portfolio approach to account for leases of units to

village residents and allocates individual leases to different portfolios depending on the type of unit.

The Group does not have any sub-leases.

105
Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Group as a lessee

The Group leases office buildings, sales offices, office equipment (such as photocopiers) and plant and equipment

used in the construction of retirement village units and aged care facilities. The right-of-use assets relating to

these leases are included within property, plant and equipment (note 11).

Maturity profile for lease liabilities

The maturity profile for lease liabilities is included in note 23(e).

The Group has lease contracts that include extension options. These options, which have been included to

provide operational flexibility, are exercisable only by the Group and not the lessors. The Group assesses at lease

commencement date whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options. The Group estimates that

the potential future lease payments, should it exercise all the extension options, would result in an increase in lease

liability of $4.5 million (2024: $17.3 million).

Commitments

At 31 March 2025 the Group has no commitments to short-term leases (including short-term construction

equipment leases) (2024: $3.3 million).

The fair value of the fixed-rate portion of the Institutional Term Loan was previously determined at balance

date on a discounted cash flow basis and by applying discount factors to the future AUD interest payment

and principal payment cash flows. The fair value of the floating rate portion is assumed to be the same as its

carrying amount. The fair value of the Institutional Term Loan is categorised as Level 2 under the fair value

hierarchy in accordance with NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement.

The fair value of the retail bond is based on the price traded on the NZX market at 31 March 2025. The fair

value of the retail bond is categorised as Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy in accordance with NZ IFRS

13 – Fair Value Measurement.

The fair value of interest rate derivatives are derived using inputs supplied by third parties that are observable,

either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). The fair value of these derivatives is categorised as

Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy contained within NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement (note 20).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

b. Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk of a failure of a debtor or counterparty to honour its contractual obligations, resulting in

financial loss for the Group.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk relates to cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments,

trade and other receivables, and advances to employees. The maximum credit risk at 31 March 2025 is the

carrying amount of these financial assets.

Credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments is managed by spreading

such exposures across a range of creditworthy institutions and by restricting the amounts that can be placed

with any one institution.

The Group does not require collateral from its debtors. The directors consider the Group’s exposure to any

concentrations of credit risk from trade and other receivables and advances to employees to be minimal

given that (typically):

• The occupancy advance receivables relate to individual residents and the occupation of a retirement

village unit does not take place until an occupation advance has been received

• Care and village fees have a portion payable in advance when due from residents (note 9)

• Care and village fees not due from residents are paid by government agencies

• Advances to employees are subject to the terms of the employee share schemes (note 26).

There were no material overdue debtors at 31 March 2025 (2024: $Nil).

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

c. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that fluctuations in interest rates affect the Group’s financial performance or

future cash flows or the fair value of its financial instruments.

The Group’s interest rate risk arises mainly from loans and borrowings. Loans and borrowings issued at

fixed rates expose the Group to changes in the fair value of the borrowings. Loans and borrowings issued

at variable interest rates (including bank overdraft) expose the Group to changes in interest rates.

The Group manages its interest rate exposure from loans and borrowings using a mix of fixed and

variable-rate debt and interest rate derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments for those

loans and borrowings (note 20). The Group ensures there is an adequate spreading of debt providers

and always seeks to obtain the most competitive interest rates.

The Group also has interest rate exposure under the terms of its occupancy agreements in New Zealand,

and in respect of its refundable accommodation deposits in both New Zealand and Australia. Refer to notes

18 and 21.

• Although the occupancy agreements in New Zealand provide that occupancy advance is repayable at

the earlier of the receipt of the new occupancy advance from the incoming resident or at the end of three

years, the Group is liable to pay interest if it does not repay the occupancy advance within six months from

the date residents vacate their unit. Historically, the Group has been managing this interest rate exposure

by repaying the occupancy advance within six months.

• In New Zealand, a refundable accommodation deposit is repayable within 30 working days of a resident

vacating their care room. The Group is liable to pay interest if it does not repay the deposit within that

period. In Australia, repayment is required by the later of 14 days after a resident vacates their care room

or upon the sighting of probate or letters of administration. The Group is liable to pay interest at a base

interest rate within the 14 day period, and at a higher interest rate beyond that period. The Group manages

these interest rate exposures by repaying the deposits within the prescribed refund period where possible.

Sensitivity

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date.

The net exposure at balance date is representative of what the Group was and is expecting to be exposed to

in the 12 months from balance date. At balance date, had the floating interest rates increased or decreased by

50 basis points, with all other variables held constant, profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

d. Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of the Group’s assets, liabilities and financial performance will

fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency rates.

The Group is exposed to currency risk in AUD primarily due to its subsidiaries in Australia. The risk to the

Group is that the value of the Australian subsidiaries’ financial position and financial performance will fluctuate

in economic terms and as recorded in the consolidated financial statements, due to changes in the NZD/AUD

exchange rates.

The Group hedges the currency risk relating to its Australian subsidiaries by holding a portion of its borrowings

(bank debt) in AUD. Any foreign currency movement in the net assets of the Australian subsidiaries is partially

offset by an opposite movement in the AUD debt.

Sensitivity

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the foreign currency risk exposures in existence at the reporting

date. The net exposure at balance date is representative of what the Group was and is expecting to be

exposed to in the 12 months from balance date. At balance date, had the NZD moved either up or down by

10%, with all other variables held constant, profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

e. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

The ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the directors, who have built an

appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium,

and long-term funding and liquidity-management requirements.

Occupancy advances and refundable accommodation deposits

The Group manages the liquidity risk on occupancy advances through the contractual requirements in the

occupation right agreement. The terms of these are discussed in note 23c.

Debt facilities and liquidity headroom

The Group also manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities, and reserve

borrowing facilities. It regularly monitors both forecast and actual cash flows, as well as the maturity profiles

of its financial assets and liabilities.

Lease liabilities

The Group does not face a significant liquidity risk with regard to lease liabilities (note 22).

As detailed in note 18, refundable accommodation deposits have repayment terms that could occur in less than one year.

2

As detailed in note 21, occupancy advances have demand features and therefore have contractual maturity dates that could occur

in less than one year. Occupancy advances are unlikely to be called on demand due to the Group’s long history of gradual resident

turnover, the highly diverse and geographically spread resident base, and the absence of alternative accommodation models at

scale, which is a recognised industry and government-wide issue.

Senior Executive Team

The Senior Executive Team has changed over the period reflecting a new organisational structure and team

turnover. At 31 March 2025 the team comprised the Chief Executive Officer and six executives (2024: Group

Chief Executive Officer and eight executives). The composition and number of members of the team fluctuated

throughout the year. The average number of members was seven in the current year (2024: 9.5 members).

Termination benefits disclosed above relate to redundancy, payments in lieu of notice and ex-gratia payments for

five team members, including the previous Group Chief Executive Officer. Bonuses were also paid to terminated

eligible team members relating to performance in the prior financial year; these have been captured as short-term

employee benefits as they were unrelated to the redundancy process.

There are no loan amounts owed by the Senior Executive Team for vested shares related to the historical

leadership share scheme (note 26). The 2024 balance included within ‘Advances to employees’ in the statement

of financial position was $0.3 million.

Directors

At 31 March 2025 all directors were non-executive and are not involved in the day-to-day operations of the Group

(2024: all directors).

Following the resignation of the Group Chief Executive Officer in 2024 the Chair of the Board assumed the role of

Executive Chair on 22 April 2024 until a new Chief Executive Officer was recruited. The Board determined that

Dean Hamilton would be a non-independent director whilst he was the Executive Chair and would not receive

director fees. A sub-committee of the Board oversaw the performance of the Executive Chair function comprising

independent directors Paula Jeffs (Chair and lead independent director), Anthony Leighs and James Miller.

Dean Hamilton returned to the independent Chair role in November 2024 with the commencement of

Naomi James as Chief Executive Officer.

There are seven directors at balance date (2024: seven directors). The number of directors fluctuated during

the financial year. The average number of directors was seven in the current year (2024: seven directors).

26. EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES

Accounting policy: Treasury stock

Shares purchased on market under the leadership share scheme are treated as treasury stock on acquisition

at cost. On vesting to an employee, treasury stock shares are credited to equity and an employee advance is

recorded initially at fair value and later at amortised cost.

Any loss on disposal if the treasury shares are sold by the Company (for example, when the employee leaves

before the end of the restrictive period) is taken directly against equity.

Due to the features of the scheme, it is accounted for as share options under NZ IFRS 2 – Share-based Payment.

Under NZ IFRS 2 the Group measures the fair value of the services received by reference to the fair value of the

share options granted.

Retirement of the leadership share scheme

Until 2022, the Group operated a limited recourse loan funded leadership share scheme for certain senior

employees, other than non-executive directors, to purchase ordinary shares in the Company. This scheme

has been retired and no offers have been made under this scheme since, in the current financial year.

Transition of participants from the retired scheme

The directors resolved to make an offer to eligible employees in connection with winding down existing

participation in the scheme. The offer was accepted by 92% of eligible participants and the associated costs

have been recognised as an expense in the profit or loss for the year (note 4).

At balance date, the Company has gross advances to employees (in relation to vested shares) totalling

$4.3 million (2024: $9.4 million). Although these loans are full recourse in nature, the Company has provided for

an impairment loss of $2.6 million (2024: $2.8 million) against these advances taking into account the share

price at 31 March 2025 of $2.76 (2024: $4.55).

In accordance with NZ IFRS 2, the loans in relation to unvested shares are not recorded on the statement of

financial position within advances to employees. These are accounted for within the Treasury Stock reserve.

Accordingly, no impairment loss has been provided against these loans.

115
Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Treasury stock and share options

At balance date, the scheme holds 1,170,990 fully allocated (unvested) shares, which represents 0.12% of the total

shares on issue (2024: 2,494,282 fully allocated shares, which represented 0.36% of the total shares on issue).

The following table reconciles the shares purchased on market under the scheme at the beginning and end of the

financial year. The weighted average exercise price is calculated based on the share price on the purchase date

less any net dividends received since the purchase date.

The restrictive period was extended on each tranche of unvested shares until the earlier of the aggregate market

value of the shares in that tranche being at least equal to their purchase price or 1 November 2026, in the directors’

sole discretion.

27. EQUITY-SETTLED SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The Group issued three tranches of performance share rights to eligible members of its Senior Executive Team

pursuant to the recently established long-term incentive plan. The grant of share rights was approved by the

Board on 23 September 2024.

Tranche 1

This tranche represents a small allocation of share rights issued as part of the transition from the leadership

share scheme to the new Long Term Incentive Scheme. The first tranche of 32,592 share rights is eligible for

vesting over two years (50% on 31 August 2025 and 50% on 31 August 2026). Tranche 1 does not include any

contracted performance hurdles; it only requires that the participant remains employed by the Group for the

duration of the term.

As it is assumed that there will be no dividends during the term of the share right, the share price on the valuation

date is expected to represent the most accurate estimate of the share rights, on the assumption that the share

price on valuation date will increase at the Cost of Equity (COE) during the term of the share rights, and then is

discounted back to the valuation date using the same COE.

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025
116

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Tranche 2 and 3

Tranche 2 was issued in lieu of the 2023 leadership share scheme, which was not offered while the scheme was

under review and subsequently retired. The performance period for the second tranche of 25,639 share rights

is 13 November 2023 to 13 November 2026. Vesting of these share rights is conditional upon meeting targets in

relation to relative total shareholder return and absolute total shareholder return.

Tranche 3 was the long term incentive offer for eligible members of the Senior Executive Team for 2024. Under

Tranche 3, a total of 467,130 share rights are granted. Of these, 113,108 share rights are allocated to the new Chief

Executive Officer, for which the performance period is from 4 November 2024 to 30 June 2027. The remaining

343,158 share rights have a performance period that spans from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027. Vesting of the share

rights under Tranche 3 is conditional upon meeting targets in relation to relative total shareholder return and

absolute total shareholder return.

The fair value of the share options is estimated at the grant date using the Monte Carlo Simulation Model, taking

into account the terms and conditions on which the share options were granted. Valuation is on a per Grant basis,

does not account for any non-market condition, e.g. the service condition.

The model simulates the vesting dates’ 10-day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and closing share price

of the NZX50 companies (including Ryman Healthcare Limited) using the 10-day VWAP. The model compares

the simulated TSR against the NZX50 companies. The correlation among the two series is accounted for during

the simulation.

For all tranches (1, 2, 3)

The long-term incentive plan grants eligible members performance rights that will, if hurdles are achieved, vest as

Ryman Healthcare Limited shares. Accordingly, the exercise price and contractual term for share rights granted

under the long-term incentive plan is nil.

There are no cash settlement alternatives for the employees. The Group does not have a past practice of cash

settlement for these awards.

The Group accounts for the options granted under the long term investment plan as an equity-settled plan.

The fair-value of the share rights at grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting

period. The expense recognised for employee services received during the year is shown in the following table:

Description of the key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Valuation of aged care facilities and investment

properties

The Group’s retirement village portfolio, as disclosed in

notes 11 and 12 of the financial statements, includes aged

care facilities (encompassing freehold land, buildings and

property under development) and investment properties

with carrying values of $936.4 million and $10,812.5

million, respectively and represents the majority of the

assets held by the Group as at 31 March 2025.

Investment properties and aged care facilities are

generally carried at fair value. Construction work in

progress for investment properties and aged care facilities

under development are carried at cost less any

impairment until fair value becomes reliably measurable

(in the case of investment properties).

The valuation of the Group’s investment properties and

aged care facilities is inherently subjective due to,

amongst other factors, inputs into the valuations that are

unobservable through available market information, and

also considers the individual characteristics of each

village, its location, its resident profile and the expected

future cash flows for that particular village.

Given the existence of significant estimation uncertainty,

coupled with the fact that only a small percentage

difference in individual

valuation assumptions, when

aggregated, could result in a material misstatement, and

considering the significance of investment properties and

aged care facilities to the Group, we determined this to be

a key audit matter.

The valuations were performed by independent registered

valuers (the Valuers). The Valuers engaged by the Group

are experienced in the markets in which the Group

operates.

In preparing their valuations, the Valuers took into account

property specific information such as unit prices,

anticipated price growth rates, and discount rates for

investment properties and capitalisation rates and market

value per care bed for aged care facilities. The Valuers

also considered the qualities of each property as a whole,

including estimates for any forecast remediation works.

The Valuers then applied these assumptions in

conjunction with available market data and transactions, to

arrive at a range of valuation outcomes, from which a point

estimate was derived.

The Group also implemented a number of accounting

estimate changes and corrections that impacted the

carrying values of investment properties and aged care

facilities as at 31 March 2025 and restated the

comparative periods where appropriate. These

corrections, accounting estimate changes and

restatements have been detailed in the section "Changes

in

financial reporting" within note 1 of the financial

statements.

The valuation of aged care facilities and investment


properties is inherently subjective given that there

are assumptions, estimates and methodologies that


may result in a range of values.

We held discussions with management to

understand the movements in the Group’s

investment properties and aged care facilities,

changes in the condition of the properties, and the

controls in place over the valuation process.

In assessing the valuations, we read the valuation

reports and held separate discussions with the

Valuers in order to gain an understanding of the

assumptions and estimates used and the valuation

methodology applied.

We carried out procedures, on a sample basis, to

test whether the key inputs in the valuations that

were supplied to the Valuers by the Group reflected


the underlying records held by the Group. We

considered the estimated cost of remediation works


and agreed the forecast remediation costs to

supporting evidence.

We engaged our own in-house valuation expert to

critique and independently assess the work

performed and key assumptions used by the

Valuers. In particular, we compared the key

assumptions used by the Valuers to our in-house

valuation expert’s knowledge gained from

reviewing

valuations of similar properties, known transactions

and market data.

We also considered whether or not there was a

bias

in determining significant assumptions in individual

valuations and found no evidence of bias.

We also assessed the Valuers’ qualifications,

expertise, and objectivity, and we found no

evidence to suggest that the objectivity of any

Valuer, in their performance of the valuations, was

compromised.

We have assessed the accounting estimate

changes, corrections and restatements that

impacted the carrying values of investment

properties and aged care facilities as at 31 March

2025 and the reported comparative periods.

We confirmed that the valuation approach for each

investment property and aged care facility was in

accordance with relevant accounting standards and


suitable for use in determining the fair value of

investment properties and aged care facilities at 31

March 2025. We also considered the

appropriateness of the related disclosures made in

the financial statements.




PwC 90

Our audit approach

Overview


Overall group materiality: $21.3 million, which represents

approximately 0.5% of net assets.

We chose net assets as the benchmark because, in our view, the

objective of the Group is to provide the shareholder with a total return

on the Group's net assets, taking into account both capital and income

returns.

We performed a full scope audit over the consolidated financial

information of the Group.

As reported above, we have one key audit matter, being valuation of

aged care facilities and investment properties.

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material

misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made

subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting

estimates that involved

making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits,

we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other

matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material

misstatement due to fraud.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by

our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They 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 the financial statements

.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality,

including the overall Group materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out above. These,

together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit, the nature,

timing and extent of our audit procedures, and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both


individually and in the aggregate, on the financial statements as a whole.

How we tailored our group audit scope

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion

on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting

processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.

Other m

atter

The financial statements of Ryman Healthcare Limited for the year ended 31 March 2024, were

audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 24 May

2024.

Other information

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the

information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and

our

auditor’s report thereon and the Climate Statement. The Annual Report and the Climate Statement is

expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.


PwC 91


RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express

any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other

information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the

financial statements or our knowled

ge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially

misstated.

When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material

misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the Directors and use our

professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial statements

The Dir

ectors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of

the financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS Accounting 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 financial st

atements, the Directors are responsible for assessing 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 to cease

operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financia

l statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 ISAs (NZ) and ISAs 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 financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the

External Reportin

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Who we report to

Statement of
corporate governance

The Board of Directors at Ryman Healthcare Limited (Board and Ryman) is committed

to maintaining high standards of corporate governance. The Board regularly reviews and

assesses Ryman’s governance structures and processes to ensure compliance with best

practice standards.

Overview of Ryman’s governance framework

Ryman is incorporated in New Zealand under the Companies Act 1993 and its ordinary shares

are quoted on the Main Board equity securities market of NZX under a single ticker code ‘RYM’.

This section of the Annual Report provides an overview of Ryman’s corporate governance

framework and includes commentary on how Ryman complies with each of the eight corporate

governance principles and recommendations of the NZX Corporate Governance Code dated

31 January 2025 (NZX Code) for the financial year ended 31 March 2025, together with other

statutory disclosures. This statement is current as at 18 June 2025.

For the reporting period, Ryman considers that our corporate governance practices are materially

consistent with the NZX Code, but for a temporary six-month departure from two NZX Code

recommendations. As reported to NZX, the independent Chair of the Board, Dean Hamilton,

was appointed Executive Chair of Ryman from 22 April 2024 to 28 November 2024, following

the resignation of the former Chief Executive Officer Richard Umbers, while the recruitment

of a new Chief Executive Officer was undertaken. During this time, Ryman could not comply

with

Recommendation 2.9 of the Code (regarding the independence of the Chair) and Recommendation

3.1 of the Code (recommending all members of the Audit, Finance and Risk committee be

non-executive directors, as Director Dean Hamilton is a member of this committee). Consistent

with the Board’s commitment to the integrity of adhering to good corporate governance, the Board

established a temporary Executive Chair Oversight committee, to oversee the performance

of the Executive Chair and this transition period.

In support of the disclosures made within this statement of corporate governance, key

governance documentation can be accessed from the investor centre on the Ryman website.

Ryman believes in good corporate governance and the value it provides

for shareholders, residents, employees and other stakeholders.

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

NZX PRINCIPLE 1 – ETHICAL STANDARDS
“Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold

management accountable for these standards being followed throughout the organisation.”

The Board sets high standards of ethical behaviour

which inform the overall corporate governance and

business practices of Ryman.

Code of ethics

Ryman’s code of ethics reflects the Board’s

commitment to the highest standards of behaviour

and accountability. It sets out the standards of

behaviour expected of every person with whom

the Company works, including directors, Senior

Executive Team (SET), team members, consultants

and business partners.

The code of ethics underpins decision-making that

is consistent with Ryman’s characteristics, business

goals and legal and policy obligations. The current

code of ethics is available on Ryman’s website.

It covers:

• Ryman’s culture – the Company’s values

and characteristics

• Ryman’s commitment to health, safety and

wellbeing – which focuses on working safely or not

at all, and supporting the wellbeing of employees

and residents

• Ryman’s people – supporting, developing and

leading team members

• Ryman’s commitment to the environment and

community – the work Ryman does to protect

the environment and have positive impacts

on local communities

• Ryman’s care of assets and property

– acknowledging the importance of being

a good steward of company information,

property and value

• Ryman’s culture of doing the right thing –

supporting people to raise concerns and speak

up, which is reflected by whistleblowing and

protected disclosure policies, and other tools

to protect employees and encourage reporting

• Ryman’s approach to business – the rules

around accepting gifts and other benefits,

and how to deal with conflicts of interest and

preserve confidentiality

• Ryman’s compliance culture – complying with

the law and reporting breaches.

Each of the Board and committee charter or terms

of reference reflect a commitment to embed the

principles of ethical conduct.

Within Ryman, there are a suite of policies that are

ethics and conduct related. Two of the key policies

are noted below.

Whistleblower policy

Ryman is committed to high standards of ethical,

moral and legal business conduct at all times and

has an independent external whistleblower service

for disclosures.

Financial product trading policy

Ryman supports the integrity of New Zealand’s

financial markets and has a financial product trading

policy that is available on its website.

125

Statement of corporate governance

NZX PRINCIPLE 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE
“To ensure an effective Board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge,

experience and perspectives.”

Board charter

The Ryman Board has adopted a charter which

sets out the Board’s role and responsibilities.

Aligned to the charter, the Board is committed to

maintaining the highest standards of governance,

operational quality and accountability in order to

promote investor and resident confidence.

The Board’s principle responsibility is to approve

the strategic direction and operating frameworks

that govern the management of the business and

oversee the effective operation of Ryman, by the

Chief Executive Officer and management. The Board’s

role is to represent the interests of stakeholders and

ensure that the operations of Ryman are managed,

in order to achieve Ryman’s strategic and business

objectives, within a framework of regulatory and

ethical compliance.

Management gives effect to the strategy set by the

Board, and undertakes day-to-day operations of the

businesses of Ryman, in accordance with the relevant

Board approved delegations of authority.

This Board charter is available on the Ryman website.

Composition of the Board

The Board holds the view that the optimal size for

the Ryman Board is seven to eight directors. As at

31 March 2025, Ryman had seven non-executive

directors, all of whom were assessed as being

independent.

From 22 April 2024 to 28 November 2024, Director

Dean Hamilton assumed the role of Executive Chair

while the search for a new Chief Executive Officer

was underway. The Board determined that Director

Dean Hamilton would be a non-independent director

while he was the Executive Chair. After ceasing as

Executive Chair, the Board determined that Director

Dean Hamilton would resume his role as Chair and as

an independent director.

Director nominations and appointments

The Governance and Nominations committee

considers candidates and recommends directors

to the Board for nomination. All members of the

Governance and Nominations committee are

assessed as independent by the Board.

When considering a candidate to act as a director, the

Governance and Nominations committee takes into

account factors including the commercial experience

and qualifications of the candidate, their independence,

diversity of skills and thought, and the overall alignment

of a potential candidate’s skills against the Board’s skills

matrix and the collective need of the Board at the time.

The committee may use external search firms to assist

with identifying candidates.

A number of probity checks are undertaken before

appointing a director and putting forward to shareholders

a candidate for election as a director.

Under the Listing Rules, every director must stand

for re-election at the end of three years or the third

Annual Meeting after their appointment, whichever

is later. These directors may offer themselves for

re-election. Directors appointed by the Board

must retire at the next Annual Meeting following

their appointment. These directors may then offer

themselves for election.

The Board and its committees critically evaluate

their own performance and their own processes

and procedures.

When considering the re-election of an existing director,

the Governance and Nominations committee also

considers the length of service of the director and the

director’s performance on the Board. It is the Board’s

general expectation that a non-executive director will

hold office for a total period of approximately nine years.

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Statement of corporate governance

126

Written agreement
On appointment, each director signs a written agreement

that includes information about their role and duties,

conflicts of interest, time commitments, term of

appointment, remuneration and insurance, access to

information and disclosure and compliance obligations.

Directors’ and officers’ insurance and indemnity

As provided for, under its constitution, Ryman has in

place a policy of implementing directors’ and officers’

liability insurance, and a Deed of Indemnity, which is

entered into with all directors.

Director information

The criteria for determining whether directors are

independent are set out in the Board charter, which

has regard to the guidance provided in the Code.

As at 31 March 2025, the Board has assessed all of the

current directors as independent for the purposes of

recommendation 2.4 of the Code.

Director biographies can be found on the Ryman

website and at pages 30–31 of this Annual Report.

Additionally, attendance at meetings and committee

membership is set out on page 133, and the interests

of each director in Ryman’s securities at page 149.

Directors’ skills and experience

The Board collectively has a mix of skills, knowledge,

experience, and diversity that enhances the Board’s

operations and assists directors in meeting their

responsibilities and objectives. The Board considers

that the current directors collectively have the depth

of expertise, understanding and experience necessary

to govern Ryman. Set out on the following page is a

summary of the skills among the directors of the Board.

Diversity
Ryman’s approach to diversity is to continually

develop a work environment that supports equality

and inclusion, regardless of difference. As part of that,

the Board and management are committed to ensuring

that all eligible people get equal opportunities to

demonstrate they have the right skills and experience

for particular roles. Ryman has set requirements for

the Board or a relevant committee of the Board to set

measurable objectives for achieving diversity.

The diversity policy is available on the Ryman website.

Prior to Claire Higgins retiring on 31 December 2024,

Ryman had gender diversity levels on the Board

exceeding the minimum 30% recommended by the

NZX. As at 31 March 2025, Ryman’s gender diversity

is slightly below 30%. The Board has previously

set a target of 40% for leadership by gender. The

Board will persist in overseeing this and is pleased

with the gender diversity at executive level, which is

57% female. Ryman is committed to maintaining this

target and will continue to prioritise the development

of a robust pipeline of diverse leaders at all levels of

the business to facilitate it.

The gender diversity for Ryman’s leadership roles

at 31 March 2025 is as follows:

As a result of organisational changes carried out in FY25,

Ryman’s assessment of its non-executive leaders has

changed, which prevents a meaningful comparison to

FY24 being carried out.

129

Statement of corporate governance

Induction and training
Directors have the underlying necessary expertise

and skills to strategically guide the Company. All new

directors participate in a formal induction programme

to ensure that they have a working knowledge of

the business and the industry in which it operates.

The programme includes one-on-one meetings with

management and a tour of facilities.

All directors are regularly updated on relevant industry

and company issues. There is an ongoing programme

of presentations to the Board by all business units.

The majority of directors are members of the Institute

of Directors (or overseas equivalent).

Directors undertake various continuous professional

development relevant to their role and may attend

training sessions offered by external providers at

Ryman’s expense to remain current on their duties

as directors.

Assessment of Board performance

The Board has a procedure to regularly assess

director, Board and committee performance. Ryman’s

Board and committee charters include performance

evaluation procedures.

The Board aims to undertake a two-yearly

performance evaluation of itself facilitated by

an external consultant. This review assesses the

performance of the Board, the committees and

individual directors.

The next Board assessment and review is underway,

with a third-party consultant having been appointed

to undertake its review.

Independence of directors and Chair

All of the current Board members are independent

directors in line with the Board charter, which

requires a majority of directors be independent.

As previously disclosed in this statement of corporate

governance, the Chair of the Board was temporarily

deemed to be non-independent for part of FY25

while the search for a new Chief Executive Officer

was underway. He resumed the status of independent

director from 29 November 2024.

Separation of Chair and Chief Executive Officer

It is Ryman’s position that the Chair and Chief

Executive Officer should be different individuals.

As noted, the Company temporarily departed

from this guideline for part of FY25 while Director

Dean Hamilton was Executive Chair. Consistent

with the Board’s commitment to good corporate

governance, the Company established an Executive

Chair Oversight committee of independent directors,

chaired by a lead independent director, to monitor

performance and deal with any areas of conflict

during this transition period.

Independent professional advice

Each director has the right to seek independent

legal and other professional advice (at the Company’s

expense) to assist them in fulfilling their duties and

responsibilities, providing they have the prior approval

of the Chair. That advice can be about any aspect of

the Company’s operations and undertakings. Advice

may also be sought from the Company Secretary at

any time.

NZX PRINCIPLE 3 – BOARD COMMITTEES
“The Board should use committees where this will enhance its effectiveness in key areas,

while still retaining Board responsibility.”

Committees play an important role in Ryman’s governance framework, allowing a subset of the Board to focus on

a particular area of importance for the Company, while still ensuring the Board as a whole remains responsible for

decision-making.

The Ryman Board has four standing permanent committees:

• Audit, Finance and Risk

• People, Safety and Remuneration

• Clinical Governance

• Governance and Nominations.

The responsibilities of each of the committees is identified below.

Each committee operates under specific terms of reference approved by the Board, which is available on the

Company’s website. Recommendations are made by a committee to the Board and, where appropriate, approved

by the Board.

In addition to the permanent standing committees, the Board may from time-to-time establish specific project

related committees.

For the year in review, the following additional committees were established:

• The Chief Executive Officer Search committee, which operated from April 2024 to November 2024, and was

tasked with overseeing the process of recruiting a new Chief Executive Officer for Ryman (noting that the

ultimate responsibility of appointing the individual to this role, was retained by the full Board).

• The Executive Chair Oversight committee, which operated from April 2024 to November 2024, and was

tasked with overseeing the performance of Chair Dean Hamilton, who assumed an Executive Chair function,

during the transition period between Chief Executive Officers.

All directors may attend any of the Board committee meetings (other than the Independent Directors’

committee meetings).

Statement of corporate governance

Audit, Finance and Risk committee
The terms of reference require that the Audit, Finance

and Risk committee will consist of at least three

members, a majority of whom will be independent

directors and all non-executive directors (of which all

members are independent and non-executive as at

from this guideline for part of FY25 while Director

Dean Hamilton (who is also a member of the Audit,

Finance and Risk committee) assumed the role of

Executive Chair, pending the recruitment of a new

Chief Executive Officer.

The Chair of the Audit, Finance and Risk committee

is to be an independent director and appointed by the

Board. The Chair of the committee is not the Chair of

the Board.

At least one member must have accounting or related

financial management expertise. Despite the minimum

requirements of the Code, the Board considers that

all members of the Audit, Finance and Risk committee

have the appropriate level of financial acumen and risk

management experience necessary for the committee

to fulfil its responsibilities.

Attendance outside the committee

The committee generally invites the Chief Executive

Officer, Chief Financial Officer, external auditor, and

other employees as appropriate to attend Audit,

Finance and Risk committee meetings.

The committee also meets and receives regular

reports from the external auditor, without management

present, to address any matters that arise in

connection with the performance of the auditor’s role.

The committee makes recommendations for

appointing an external auditor to ensure that they are

independent and to ensure that the auditor provides

for a five-yearly rotation of the lead audit partner.

The committee also provides a forum for effective

communication between the Board and Ryman’s

external auditor.

The committee’s terms of reference are available

on our website.

People, Safety and Remuneration committee

The terms of reference require that the People,

Safety and Remuneration committee will consist of

at least three members, a majority of whom will be

independent directors (of which all members are

independent as at 31 March 2025).

The appointment and removal of members will be the

responsibility of the Board and the Board will appoint a

Chair from among the members of the committee, who

must be an independent director.

The committee’s terms of reference are available on

our website.

Attendance outside the committee

The committee generally invites the Chief Executive

Officer and the Chief of People and Safety Officer

to attend the meeting. The committee will also invite

members of management and such other persons

(and this may include external advisers), as it considers

necessary to provide appropriate information and

advice to the committee.

Clinical Governance committee

The terms of reference provide that the Clinical

Governance committee will consist of members

of the Board and external clinical experts who are

recommended by the Chair of the committee to the

Board and are appointed by the Board.

responsibility of the Board and the Board will appoint

a Chair from among the members of the committee.

The committee’s terms of reference are available on

our website.

Attendance outside the committee

The committee generally invites the Chief Executive

Officer, Chief Operating Officer, the General Manager

Clinical, and other employees as appropriate to attend

Governance and Nominations committee
The terms of reference require that the Governance

and Nominations committee will consist of at

least three members, a majority of whom will be

independent directors (of which all members are

the role of Chair.

All of the committee members are independent at

31 March 2025.

The Governance and Nominations committee operates

under a written charter (terms of reference) and

recommends the nomination of directors to the Board,

reviews general governance policies and frameworks

and recommends changes to the Board, committees,

and advises on Chief Executive Officer succession.

The committee’s terms of reference are available on

our website.

Other committees

Takeover protocols and the Independent

Directors’ committee

The Independent Directors’ committee comprises all

independent directors and is convened as needed to

address significant conflicts of interest and any other

matter is referred by the Board. It is also convened if a

notice of takeover is received by the Company or if a

scheme of arrangement is considered with a potential

merger party.

Consistent with the Code, the Board has established

appropriate protocols that set out the procedure to

be followed if there is a takeover offer. The Board

has adopted a takeover protocol, which sets out the

procedure to be followed in the event a takeover

offer for Ryman is made or it is foreseeable that an

offer may be imminent. The protocol provides for

the Independent Directors’ committee to be formed,

comprising independent directors of Ryman, to

oversee the takeover process. The protocol also

governs the procedure for communications with the

bidder, the market, and investors.

The committee’s terms of reference are available on

our website.

Temporary committees

135

Statement of corporate governance

The Board is committed to ensuring that shareholders
and the market are provided with complete and

timely information on the activities of the business

to allow proper accountability between Ryman and

shareholders, employees and other stakeholders.

The Board has overall responsibility for ensuring the

integrity of the Company’s reporting and disclosure.

As a company listed on the NZX Main Board, Ryman

has an obligation to comply with the disclosure

requirements of the Listing Rules. These requirements

aim to provide equal access for all investors and

potential investors and material, price-sensitive

information concerning issuers and their financial

products. This in turn promotes confidence in

the market.

Market disclosure policy

Ryman’s market disclosure policy outlines the

obligations of Ryman and relevant Ryman personnel

in satisfying the disclosure requirements. It also

covers other related matters, including external

communications by Ryman.

Where potentially material information is received,

this is escalated to the relevant SET member. The

SET member will then promptly refer the matter to the

Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and/or

the General Counsel.

The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,

and General Counsel will then meet to consider the

potentially material information. If they form the

view that the information is material information

then, having regard to the obligations to promptly

disclose, the Chair of the Board will be informed of

the potentially material information, with a view to,

where possible and if appropriate, promptly convening

the Board.

Where disclosure is required, the appropriate market

release will be prepared for prompt release. Final

approval of any release will be provided by the

Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer

and General Counsel.

Depending on where the information has

originated, the need for a potential trading halt

will also be considered.

In addition, the Board considers at each meeting,

matters for disclosure and ensures that any material

decisions made at Board meetings are announced on

a timely basis.

NZX PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE

“The Board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting, and in the timeliness

and balance of corporate disclosures.”

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Statement of corporate governance

Key governance documents
Ryman publishes key governance documents on the

investor centre within our website, which includes but

is not limited to, the following:

• Code of ethics

• Financial product trading policy

• Board charters and committee terms of reference

• Diversity policy

• Remuneration policy

• Market disclosure policy.

Financial reporting

Ryman is committed to promoting shareholder

confidence through open, timely and accurate

market communication.

The Audit, Finance and Risk committee has a

delegated responsibility from the Board in relation to

financial reporting. It assists the Board in discharging

its responsibilities with respect to external financial

reporting, internal controls, risk-management

frameworks and the monitoring of compliance with

those frameworks, and compliance with applicable

laws, regulations and standards.

The market disclosure policy sets out the Board’s

and management’s responsibilities for disclosure

and communication, and procedures for managing

this obligation.

All announcements assessed as being material are

made to the NZX and reports issued are also posted

on the Company’s website.

Non-financial reporting

Ryman’s Annual Report provides both financial and

non-financial information. Alongside annual and interim

financial reporting, Ryman also prepares an investor

presentation which outlines activity and key metrics for

the period in review, as well as providing forward looking

information on strategic initiatives.

The Annual Report is produced using the principles

of

Integrated Reporting <IR>. An integrated report

provides more information than traditional reporting

on the Company’s business model and how Ryman

creates value over time. Ryman includes non-financial

disclosures such as those relating to environmental, social

Statement of corporate governance

NZX PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION
“The remuneration of directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable.”

Remuneration approach

Ryman recognises that shareholders have an

interest in remuneration, whether that be director

or executive, and that transparency in this area is

important to support shareholder confidence. As

reflected in the remuneration policy, Ryman believes

quality, committed and motivated people are critical

to Ryman’s success, and underpin delivery on

strategic goals, the creation of shareholder value,

and importantly, ensuring exceptional experiences

and care for residents.

Remuneration governance

The remuneration of directors and the SET is reviewed

by the People, Safety and Remuneration committee.

Please refer to Principle 3 for a discussion on the

governance arrangements pertaining to remuneration

and the People, Safety and Remuneration committee.

The committee’s responsibilities include reviewing

and recommending changes to Ryman’s people and

remuneration policies and practices, including health,

safety and wellbeing policies and practices, together

with reviewing and recommending changes to the

remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and other

senior executives and Ryman’s directors’ fees.

Further details on remuneration are provided on page 144

in the Remuneration report of this Annual Report.

NZX PRINCIPLE 6 – RISK MANAGEMENT
“Directors should have a sound understanding of the material risks faced by the issuer and how

to manage them. The Board should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes

that identify and manage potential and material risks.”

Ryman is committed to managing all material risks

arising from our activities, in accordance with stated

policies. The Board has overall responsibility for

overseeing the management of these risks.

Risk Management Framework

Ryman’s Group Risk Management Framework adopts

the principles of the ISO 31000:2018 risk-management

guideline. The aim of the framework is to identify,

assess, manage, monitor and report on the material

risks faced by Ryman so that we can achieve our

objectives and protect staff and residents. Taking

an integrated risk-management approach ensures

both the alignment with and consistency of activities

relating to risk management. Material risks, together

with Ryman’s approach to risk management, are

regularly reported to the Board through the Audit,

Finance and Risk committee.

The framework provides the guardrails to support

greater risk awareness, understanding and

consistency across the organisation. This framework

also allows for enhanced reporting of the material

risks facing Ryman and greater oversight of the

effectiveness of the control environment in managing

those risk exposures within appetite.

Risk-management guidelines and standards

support team members to identify, assess, monitor

and manage business risks. The responsibility

for operational risk management sits with the

managers in the individual business units. Ryman’s

risk-management and assurance processes support

this through group functions and are ultimately

overseen by the SET and the Board.

Key risks

Within this framework, Ryman has identified the

following eleven material risk categories, including:

• Brand risk

• Climate risk

• Clinical risk

• Development, design and construction risk

• Data risk

• Financial risk

• Health, safety and wellbeing risk

• Operational and compliance risk

• People and capability risk

• Supplier risk

• Strategic risk.

Ryman operates an extensive internal accreditation

programme that addresses issues such as

service delivery, health, safety and wellbeing, and

administration. Clinical and health and safety audits

are undertaken regularly. The results of these audits

and critical indicators are regularly reported to the

relevant Board committees and elevated to the Board

where appropriate. Health, safety and wellbeing

are also discussed regularly through the Board

committees and at Board, SET, construction team and

operational team meetings. Regular reporting of key

metrics assists teams to manage these risks.

139

Statement of corporate governance

NZX PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS
“The Board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.”

External audit

The Audit, Finance and Risk committee is responsible

for recommending the appointment and removal of

the external auditor, ensuring their independence and

regularly monitoring and reviewing audit practices.

An external auditor independence policy (the Policy)

provides guidance on the provision of external audit

services to ensure the independence of the external

auditor, in both fact and appearance, such that

Ryman’s external financial reporting is viewed as

being highly reliable and credible. The Policy sets out

a framework that ensures the independence of the

external auditor, other assurance services that may

be provided, and prohibited non-assurance services.

The Audit, Finance and Risk committee makes

recommendations to the Board on the appointment

of the external auditor as set out in its charter (terms

of reference) and the Policy.

The Policy requires audit partner rotation at least

every five years with a minimum cooling-off period of

five years. Other key audit team members considered

to be making key decisions or judgements on matters

significant to the audit are required to rotate every

seven years with a minimum cooling-off period of two

years. The rotation of the audit firm will be tendered

and formally assessed by the Audit, Finance and

Risk committee at least every 10 years, with the

incumbent external auditor eligible to participate

in the tender process.

The current auditor is Samuel Shuttleworth from

PwC, who was appointed in 2024 for the financial year

ended 31 March 2025.

The Audit, Finance and Risk committee routinely

meets with Ryman’s external auditor without

management present.

Ryman’s external auditor attends the Company’s

Annual Meeting and is available to answer questions

about the conduct of its audit and the preparation

and content of the audit report.

Internal audit

Ryman maintains an internal audit function which

is ultimately accountable to the Board through the

Audit, Finance and Risk committee. The internal audit

function is governed by an internal audit charter,

which sets out the objectives and scope of internal

audit activities.

The primary objective of internal audits is to

evaluate and improve the effectiveness of key

risk-management, control and governance processes.

Ryman’s internal audit approach is based on the

principle of partnering with the business in order

to add value. The internal audit plan is set annually

by the Audit, Finance and Risk committee. The

committee meets on a regular basis to consider

financial reporting, risk management, internal control

and corporate governance matters. The committee

reviews the internal audit findings and opinions, and

the activities of the internal audit function.

Clinical auditors and health, safety and wellbeing

officers routinely monitor and evaluate the

effectiveness of controls across the Group. Detailed

reports on these activities and findings are regularly

presented to the Clinical Governance committee and

the People, Safety and Remuneration committee.

NZX PRINCIPLE 8 – SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND RELATIONS
“The Board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster constructive relationships

with shareholders that encourage them to engage with the issuer.”

Information for shareholders

The Company seeks to ensure that investors

understand our activities by communicating

effectively with them and providing access to

clear and balanced information.

The Company website provides an overview of the

business and a range of information about Ryman,

including details of operational sites, latest news,

investor information, key corporate governance

information, significant NZX announcements and

profiles of the directors and the SET.

Previous Annual Reports, financial statements and

results presentations are also available on our website.

Communicating with shareholders

Ryman has a dedicated Head of Investor Relations

and a General Manager Corporate Affairs and

Communications. A key goal of these two roles is to

ensure that Ryman’s shareholders and bondholders

are kept informed.

Contact details for the Head of Investor Relations can

be found in the Contact Us section of our website.

Ryman offers shareholders the option of sending

and receiving communications electronically. To

encourage shareholder engagement, Ryman facilitates

participation in shareholder meetings through both

physical and virtual attendance options. Additionally,

Ryman provides webcasts of meetings, along with

presentations and addresses by the directors and

Chief Executive Officer on our website.

Ryman’s Notice of Meeting provides shareholders

with the information to engage virtually with meetings,

including through voting and submitting questions.

Shareholder voting rights

Shareholders can vote on major decisions of the

Company in line with the requirements set out in

the Companies Act and the Listing Rules.

Voting on all resolutions at Ryman’s shareholder

meetings is conducted by poll. This provides

shareholders with a one share, one vote say on all

resolutions (subject to any voting restrictions applying

under the Listing Rules).

Notice of Annual Meeting

Ryman sends the notice of the Annual Meeting

to all shareholders, and publishes it on the

Company website.

Statement of corporate governance

Remuneration report
This report focuses on the remuneration of Ryman’s

directors and SET.

Directors

The directors of Ryman as at 31 March 2025 were

Dean Hamilton, Anthony Leighs, Paula Jeffs,

James Miller, Kate Munnings, David Pitman and

Scott Pritchard.

Claire Higgins retired on 31 December 2024 and

Anthony Leighs has announced he is retiring at the

2025 Annual Meeting.

Senior executives

The SET as at 31 March 2025 comprised Naomi James,

Rob Woodgate, Chris Evans, Rick Davies, Di Walsh,

Marsha Cadman and Marie Bonnemaison.

Deborah Marris, Cheyne Chalmers and Cameron

Holland left Ryman in September 2024 as part of

the organisational change.

Remuneration governance

The Board is assisted in the delivery of its governance

obligations in relation to remuneration by the People,

Safety and Remuneration committee, a standing

committee of the Board. The committee’s role is

set out in its terms of reference and, in relation to

remuneration, is to review and recommend to the

Board for approval all components of the remuneration

of the Chief Executive Officer, to review and

recommend to the Board for approval all components

of the remuneration for the SET as recommended by

the Chief Executive Officer on an annual basis and to

make recommendations in relation to the distribution

of the shareholder-approved directors’ fee pool.

Further details on the governance arrangements

pertaining to remuneration are set out on page 138.

Remuneration policy

Ryman’s executive remuneration framework is based

on a total potential on-target remuneration package

comprising fixed remuneration (base salary and

applicable KiwiSaver or superannuation), a short-term

incentive (STI), paid in cash, and a long-term incentive

(LTI), issued as performance share rights.

The STI for the SET (including the Chief Executive

Officer) is an on target amount (excluding KiwiSaver

and superannuation) that is 50% of base remuneration

with a stretch target of 120% (equivalent to 60% of

base salary). The STI KPIs are determined annually

by the Board in line with the Company’s business plan,

strategic priorities and in consultation with the SET.

The LTI for the SET allows a participant to receive

a grant of performance share rights equivalent to

40% of base remuneration (100% in respect of the

Chief Executive Officer), with two equally weighted

performance measures:

1. 50% Absolute Total Shareholder Return; and

2. 50% Relative Total Shareholder Return

(compared to S&P/NZX50 Index).

A copy of Ryman’s senior executive and director

remuneration policy is available on our website.

Fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration comprises a base salary and

applicable KiwiSaver or superannuation contributions

as required under relevant legislation. The base salary

is an annualised fixed component paid in cash. It is

set based on factors including role size, performance

and external market data, referenced from relevant

comparator groups.

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

142

Remuneration report
STI plan

The STI plan is an at-risk cash incentive aligned

with the achievement of the Company’s short-term

strategic goals, typically within a financial year

(1 April to 31 March).

Expressed as a percentage of base salary, the STI is

designed to incentivise the achievement of targets

against measures that drive strategic priorities

and performance. Such factors include financial

performance targets, operational achievement

targets and cultural, safety and sustainability targets.

For FY25, the STI was structured as:

• 60% of the STI related to financial performance

against the Company’s key financial metrics:

cash flow from existing operations, cash flow

from development activity and IFRS profit before

tax and fair-value movements.

• 25% of the STI was on individual performance

against key transformation initiatives, including

improved village profitability, new development

efficiency and support services efficiency.

• 15% of the STI was based on resident

satisfaction (net promoter score), health and

safety (total recordable injury frequency rate)

and sustainability (progress against path to

decarbonisation).

In FY25, none of the targets set for financial

performance were achieved. The targets for resident

satisfaction, health and safety and sustainability

were all achieved. Given the financial performance

of the Company, the Board determined to exercise

its discretion to only make payment in respect of

the 15% of STI relating to resident satisfaction,

health and safety and sustainability, recognising the

importance of maintaining a focus on these aspects

of performance through a period of change.

Incoming Chief Executive Officer Naomi James, who

commenced in November 2024, has declined any

STI payment in respect of FY25 given the financial

performance of the Company and recognising the

financial outcomes experienced by shareholders

over the last 12 months.

In FY26, the Board has approved a Company

scorecard which will be used to determine the pool

available for payment of STI, with pay-out from the

pool based on individual performance.

The Company scorecard comprises a mix of financial

(80% weighting) and non-financial (20% weighting)

measures. These weightings reflect the priority

of delivering significant improvement in financial

performance, while maintaining or improving

non-financial business performance and reputation.

The financial targets relate to cash flow from existing

operations, cash flow from development operations,

vacant retirement unit stock, ORA pay out balance and

cash improvements in operating performance (with

over 90% relating to targeted expenditure reductions).

Non-financial targets relate to safety, resident/family

NPS and high-performance development.

The Chief Executive Officer’s STI will be determined

by performance against the Company scorecard

(90%) and on strategy and growth (10%), with the

target to develop a Board-approved growth strategy

and to transition the company’s design, development

and construction function to a predominantly

outsourced model.

LTI plan

The LTI plan is an at-risk incentive designed to reward

sustained long-term-per-share shareholder value

creation through the achievement of key performance

measures over a three-year period.

The plan has been offered to the SET as the most

senior officers of the organisation and presents an

incentive aligned with long-term performance of

the Company.

SET are required to build over time, and maintain,

a minimum holding in the Company’s ordinary shares

equivalent to 50% of their annual base salary (100% in

respect of the Chief Executive Officer).

The LTI plan is an annual equity-based plan with

performance measures over a three-year period

that are aligned with shareholder value. The LTI plan

will grant participants performance rights that will, if

hurdles are achieved, vest as Ryman shares. Payment

in shares is expected to encourage retention and

sustainable value creation.

The Board may exercise its discretion to adjust STI and LTI outcomes based on the achievements, should the

Board determine that such action is in the best interests of shareholders and stakeholders.

Director remuneration

Directors are remunerated by way of fees. The fee pool is approved by shareholders at the Annual Meeting as

required under the NZX Listing Rules. The Board is then responsible for setting individual directors’ fees in line with

the approved pool and the Listing Rules. The director fee pool currently stands at $1.5 million. Changes to the pool

were last approved by shareholders at the 2021 Annual Meeting. The details of individual director remuneration

are set out in this report.

In FY24 the Board adopted a new Non-Executive Directors’ Share Purchase Plan (Plan) that requires directors

to hold a minimum number of shares to better align directors’ interests with those of the shareholders. Each

director is expected to acquire shares, equivalent to their annual base director fees within the first five years of

their appointment. The expectation is that the directors hold the minimum number of shares for the remaining

terms of their appointments in accordance with the Plan. Directors’ shareholding are shown on page 152 of this

Annual Report.

Chief Executive Officer remuneration

Former Group Chief Executive Officer Richard Umbers resigned on 19 April 2024. His exit package, as set out

in last year’s Annual Report, comprised: the base salary; $650,000 for notice; $650,000 for severance; and

$225,000 for the FY24 STI out of a possible maximum award of $690,000. No medium-term incentive was paid

for FY24 out of a total possible payment of $1.15 million. Mr Umbers gave up all future rights upon his resignation.

Director Dean Hamilton was Executive Chair from April 2024 until November 2024. Details of Dean Hamilton’s

remuneration while acting as Executive Chair are set out on page 148.

delegations from the Board, it included representatives of the Board as members, being Dean Hamilton,

David Pitman and Kate Munnings. In the instance of David Pitman and Kate Munnings, additional fees were

deemed appropriate for the additional time commitments provided, and calculated at the same rate as Board

committee membership, pro rated based on the tenure of the committee’s function. This resulted in a payment

of $9,167 to each of Kate Munnings and David Pitman.

Executive Chair remuneration

The Chair of Ryman, Dean Hamilton was appointed Executive Chair on 22 April 2024 for the period until

28 November 2024. While Dean Hamilton was Executive Chair he did not receive any director fees and instead

Director Dean Hamilton is a director of this entity and several related entities, which are investment vehicles for the Farmer family’s

private investments. One such trust holds a 10% equity interest in an entity called BeGroup, which is a smaller-scale New Zealand

retirement village owner. The trust does not have a director on BeGroup and Dean Hamilton manages the conflict by excusing

himself in Tappenden meetings, from any trust discussions related to the investment in BeGroup. There are no current or intended

transactions between Ryman and BeGroup and the Board of Ryman is satisfied with this approach and management of the

potential conflict of interests.

On 23 December 2024, Fletcher Building announced the appointment of James Miller as an independent non-executive director,

no such consultancy services have been provided nor will be. The Board are happy with this approach.

Statement of compliance

Ryman Healthcare Limited is a climate reporting entity under the Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013. This Climate-Related Disclosures Report

covers the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. These disclosures are

prepared in accordance with Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards

(NZCS) issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB), specifically:

• NZCS 1: Climate-Related Disclosures

• NZCS 2: Adoption of Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards

• NZCS 3: General Requirements for Climate-Related Disclosures.

In preparing our Climate-Related Disclosures, Ryman has elected to use

the following adoption provisions:

• Adoption provision 2: Anticipated financial impacts

This exempts Ryman from disclosing the anticipated financial impact

of climate-related risks and opportunities and the time horizons over

which the risks and opportunities are expected to occur. Ryman has

applied this provision while we continue to build internal capability and

processes to more accurately assess and quantify these impacts.

• Adoption provision 4: Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions

This exempts Ryman from disclosing all or a selected subset of our

Scope 3 GHG emissions. Ryman has disclosed Scope 3 emissions

relating to business travel and waste not including wastewater or waste

from our independent townhouses collected by council services. A full

list of sources for which we have applied the adoption provision are

outlined on page 21.

• Adoption provision 6: Comparatives for metrics

This exempts Ryman from the requirement to disclose comparative

information for the two preceding reporting periods. As FY24 was our

first year of reporting, we have applied the provision to provide one year

of comparative information for each metric.

• Adoptive provision 7: Analysis of trends

This exempts Ryman from disclosing analysis of the main trends from

a comparison of each metric from previous reporting periods to the

current reporting period.

Welcome to our 2025 Climate-Related Disclosures Report

Mitigating climate-related risks supports the wellbeing and experience of our

residents, protects the capital provided by shareholders and lenders, and

ensures that investment in our new and existing assets is sustainable. Our risk

management processes address the potential impacts of climate change on

property values, insurance costs, and long-term operational resilience.

As our business undertakes a significant transformation programme, we

remain committed to strengthening the climate resilience of our villages and

our operations. A key milestone in significantly reducing our carbon footprint

is the Ryman Healthcare Solar Farm, Te Papa Reireia. You can read more

about this on page 5.

In addition, we are pleased to commence the procurement of GreenPower

through our Australian energy supplier for our Australian villages, supporting

the transition to certified renewable electricity sources.

Together, these initiatives are making a difference to our emissions and are

building future resilience into our operations, in the face of a changing climate.

Since our FY21 baseline, we’ve achieved a 41% reduction in our Scope 1 and 2

market-based emissions, despite significant growth of our organisation through

the delivery of new villages. By lessening emissions intensity while expanding

our operations, we’re making steady, meaningful progress toward our Science

Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment and a low-emissions future.

This report is approved on behalf of Ryman Healthcare Limited on

18 June 2025.

3RYMAN HEALTHCARE CLIMATE-RELATED DISCLOSURES 2025GovernanceStrategyRisk managementMetrics and targetsAppendicesOur villages and directoryStatement of compliance
Board governance

Ryman is dedicated to establishing strong frameworks and procedures

to tackle challenges and leverage opportunities related to climate change.

By implementing effective governance practices, we are working to

navigate the intricacies of climate change.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing climate-related risks

and opportunities, ensuring Ryman has appropriate processes and systems

in place to assess and manage climate risks and meet the requirements of

the NZCS.

The Board has assigned responsibility to the Audit, Finance, and Risk

committee (AFRC) to oversee:

• Regulatory compliance: Ensuring climate-related risks and

opportunities are reported in accordance with regulatory obligations

• Risk management processes: Overseeing the systems and controls

in place to identify, assess, and manage climate-related risks

• Ongoing reviews: Conducting regular evaluations of climate-related

risk management processes to align with changes in our business

strategy, external environment, and evolving climate risk knowledge

• Independent assurance: Ensuring Ryman’s GHG emissions

reporting as disclosed in the Climate-Related Disclosures are

independently assured.

Ryman resident Peter with his family in the village gardens.

The AFRC convenes at least four times per year and receives reporting

from Ryman's Senior Executive Team (SET) on the items above, along

with reports on our performance against key climate-related metrics

and targets.

The Board is responsible for approving Ryman's strategy, including our

sustainability strategy and climate change risk management planning.

Ryman’s first formal sustainability strategy was approved in 2022. We now

have new governance in place to ensure that our sustainability strategy

delivers meaningful social and environmental outcomes. The Board

continues to review and refine forward-looking initiatives and planning

as part of its ongoing strategic oversight.

The Board reviews progress towards our sustainability and climate goals

on an annual basis, assessing performance against key targets. Additionally,

the Board receives quarterly risk reports, which include climate-related

risks, ensuring that climate considerations are regularly assessed as part

of Ryman’s Group Risk Management Framework.

The Board comprises several directors with an understanding of the risks

and opportunities presented by climate change. A summary of the Board’s

skill set can be found on page 128 of our Annual Report. Several directors

have undertaken specific climate-related training, including formal courses,

attending Climate Governance Conferences and participating in the

Institute of Director’s Chapter Zero (a network that provides upskilling for

non-executive directors on climate action), with one director serving on its

Board. Some directors are also involved in sustainability and climate-related

strategy through roles outside of Ryman.

Management’s role

Ryman’s SET meet on a weekly basis. They are responsible for overseeing

climate-related risks and opportunities while driving the implementation

of the company’s sustainability strategy. The SET ensures that all business

units identify, assess, and monitor climate-related risks and opportunities,

in line with Ryman’s Group Risk Management Framework. This includes:

• Deploying suitable risk mitigation strategies

• Implementing sustainability initiatives that align with performance

targets and agreed strategic initiatives.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer review all reports

and papers relating to material climate-related risks and opportunities

before these are submitted to the AFRC. Three members of our SET have

specific responsibilities related to climate risks and opportunities.

Ryman Healthcare Solar Farm, Te Papa Reireia

Construction is nearly complete on the Ryman Healthcare Solar Farm, Te Papa Reireia a 21 MW solar

array near Maungatūroto in Northland. The project sets a new benchmark for renewable energy use in

New Zealand’s aged care sector.

Developed in partnership with Harbour Infrastructure, the solar farm will generate around 32 GWh of

electricity each year and help power our New Zealand villages. In FY25, our electricity usage across our

New Zealand villages was approximately 53 GWh, meaning the solar farm could supply around 66%

of near-term future needs. The project is backed by an innovative power purchase agreement (PPA)

between Mercury NZ and Harbour, with a unique ‘sleeving’ arrangement that enables 100% of the energy

generated to be attributed to Ryman.

We’re excited to see Te Papa Reireia nearing completion, a practical step towards low-emissions energy

use in our operations.

Image: Ryman team members Rob Woodgate and Byron Hoare review build progress.

Climate Steering Group

Ryman’s Climate Steering Group (CSG) meets six times a year to ensure climate-related risks and opportunities

are fully integrated into decision-making and business processes, in alignment with the requirements of the

Climate-Related Disclosure framework.

The CSG comprises members of the SET with defined climate responsibilities, as well as subject matter experts

from across the business, identified in Figure 1 and the Sustainability Manager acts as the secretariat for the CSG.

The core responsibilities of the CSG include:

• Tracking performance against climate-related metrics and targets, including GHG emissions

• Overseeing progress on Ryman’s climate work plan

• Evaluating and providing feedback on projects within Ryman’s emissions reduction plan

• Identifying and assessing emerging climate-related risks and opportunities.

Remuneration

For FY25, short-term incentives (STIs) for all SET members included a 15% component covering non-financial

performance, which incorporated measures relating to sustainability, customer outcomes, and safety. The

sustainability portion made up 5% of total potential incentive earnings and covers a range of environmental, social,

and governance factors, including progress on climate-related initiatives and Ryman’s Science Based Targets (SBTs).

Performance is evaluated during the annual review cycle.

About Ryman

Ryman is an industry leader, proudly owning and operating 49 villages

that offer retirement living and aged care to over 15,000 residents.

Our purpose is to enhance freedom, connection, and wellbeing for people as

we grow older. Our villages provide community and living options that allow

our residents to choose the lifestyle that suits them, with the peace of mind

that they can access industry-leading care in our villages, should they need it.

Transforming Ryman for the future

Over the past year, Ryman has undergone significant changes, both structural

and operational, to support long-term financial and operational sustainability.

Leadership changes have included the appointment of our new CEO, a

substantial Board refresh, and a reduction in our SET from nine to seven

members. The new executive structure is based on functional accountability.

As part of our business transformation programme, Ryman is transitioning

to a fully outsourced design, development, and construction model for

future villages. New village development activity is currently paused

with efforts focused on completing priority villages, selling down existing

unit stock, and reassessing our land bank portfolio. The pause in new

village development supports capital management and allows for a more

disciplined approach to future growth.

Going forward, we are focused on strengthening financial performance

through three core workstreams: releasing cash, sustainable business

improvement, and disciplined growth.

We are committed to improving the operational performance in existing

villages, targeting growth opportunities that are supported by demand. This

includes the future stages of our in-flight projects, our landbank at existing

villages, and opportunities to expand near to existing villages, maximising

asset utilisation of our existing care capacity and facilities.

New village planning is being revised to ensure assets can meet evolving

resident expectations, respond to Government policy changes, and reflect

anticipated demand over their lifespan. The development model is shifting

to reduce peak capital intensity by limiting the number of concurrent

projects and phasing delivery.

Progressing sustainable outcomes

Sustainability continues to be a key focus area. Over the past year,

governance changes have been made that will support sustainable

business performance. In FY26, we will revisit our sustainability goals

to align with our strategic priorities and as we continue to progress with

our transformation plan. This includes reassessing material issues and

reviewing key performance indicators.

As a result of the organisation-wide transformation and capital

reprioritisation, some of the initiatives in last year's disclosure such as

fleet electrification, gas systems replacement and climate leadership

training have not progressed as planned. These have been reconsidered

in the context of the current operating environment and are discussed

further in the Transition planning section of this report.

Current impacts and financial impacts

Material climate-related impacts to our business are monitored on an ongoing basis throughout the year.

Table 2. Summary of climate-related impacts

Description Impact description and financial impacts

Physical impacts

Extreme

weather events

In FY25, Ryman did not experience any material physical impacts attributable to climate

change. However, we undertook further assessment of physical climate risk across our

village portfolio, with a focus on those sites previously identified in our FY24 Climate-Related

Disclosures as being potentially exposed to flooding.

This work included engaging external consultants and allocating internal team resources

to support site-level assessments and stakeholder consultation. A total of $65,000 was

invested in external consultancy services to carry out detailed flood risk reviews and identify

potential mitigation actions for at-risk villages.

Transition impacts

Cost of insuranceRyman's insurance costs increased by 15% in FY25, driven by an increase in our portfolio

value, tight insurance market conditions and a response to recent extreme weather events.

Despite ongoing exposure to physical climate risks, insurance pricing is expected to ease in

FY26, supported by improved market conditions with increased competition among insurers.

Policy and

regulatory change

Ryman continues to respond to increasing regulatory and compliance requirements related

to Climate-Related Disclosures. In FY25, a limited assurance engagement was performed

over the organisation's GHG emissions for the first time, as required under the Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013. This limited assurance engagement was conducted by PwC

New Zealand.

Preparation is also underway for the measurement and future disclosure of Scope 3

emissions, with a focus on strengthening data collection systems and developing robust

estimation methodologies. From FY26, Ryman will begin reporting with the Australian

Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), which will apply to its Australian operations.

To support these requirements, Ryman has allocated additional internal and external

resources, including engagement of external assurance providers and team members

upskilling to meet evolving regulatory and reporting obligations.

Scenario analysis

In FY23, we engaged external consultants to conduct a robust climate risk, resilience, and opportunity assessment,

supporting the SET and senior leadership team to identify the most material climate-related risks to our business and

better understand their potential impacts. This work, with final approval from the Board, formed the basis for FY24

and this year’s scenario analysis.

To determine materiality, workshops were held with our Climate Working Group (CWG), comprising SET members,

senior leaders, and subject matter experts. These workshops were critical in assessing the relevance, potential

impact, and likelihood of identified climate-related risks and opportunities and prioritising them using our enterprise

risk framework. The process to define our scenario analysis involved the following steps:

1. Identifying climate-related drivers: Through interviews, workshops, and literature review, we assessed key

climate-related factors that may impact Ryman’s strategy and long-term value, considering our full value chain

2. Development of integrated climate scenarios: A framework for climate scenarios and time horizons was

established, aligning with domestic and international guidelines

3. Scenario validation: The CWG reviewed and validated the scenarios

4. Scenario interrogation: The CWG identified and assessed climate-related risks and opportunities, assessed their

materiality based on potential impacts and likelihood using our enterprise risk framework.

Our scenario analysis highlighted material climate-related risks and opportunities:

• Material risks: Factors that could significantly impact operations, strategy, and financial planning if not

effectively managed

• Material opportunities: Initiatives that strengthen financial performance while reducing environmental impact.

These were prioritised based on relevance, potential impact, and probability, though their timing and full extent

remain uncertain.

Risks and opportunities were categorised as:

• Physical risks: Including extreme weather events, long-term climate shifts, and sea-level rise

• Transition risks: Arising from policy, legal, technology, market, and reputational changes in the shift to

a low-emissions economy.

Our CSG further refined and consolidated these findings.

Table 3. Summary of Ryman’s climate scenarios

1

NGFS: Used to direct assumptions about overall policy ambitions and broad policy trends, designed for the financial system which dictates many of the transition risks for the

environment that Ryman operates within.

2

RCPs: These determine the radiative forcing of physical hazards in the future. The RCP selection closely matches the NGFS policy ambitions for warming.

3

SSPs: Selected to provide the social and economic contexts for our scenarios. These include parameters around population, health, institutions, economy and trade and technology.

A range of SSPs were used across the scenarios to ensure Ryman was tested across a range of possible socioeconomic futures.

4

The SPANZ are downscaled global scenarios for the New Zealand context. These provided a framework for describing New Zealand Government policy and wider socioeconomic

outcomes. SPANZ narratives were adjusted to reflect the shift in domestic and international interactions following COVID-19.

The Net Zero scenario reflects a coordinated global transition

aligned with a 1.5°C warming trajectory by 2100, limiting climate

impacts, and avoiding a tipping point of massive polar ice caps

melting and a shutdown of large ocean circulation systems

that maintain a stable and liveable environment. The physical

impacts of climate change are limited, with initial short-term

costs and disruptions from reducing emissions rapidly.

Societies move toward a more inclusive future, respecting

environmental boundaries and reducing inequality. Populations

are healthier, with strong investment in holistic healthcare

and wellbeing. Economies shift toward human wellbeing,

reducing material consumption and resource use. Land use

trends reverse, forests act as carbon sinks, and blue carbon

sequestration expands.

Sustainable technologies such as renewables and carbon

capture are rapidly adopted. In Australia and New Zealand,

investment in climate mitigation and adaptation gains

international recognition. Government policies align with global

efforts, ensuring sustainable land use and urban design.

Though near-term costs are high, long-term benefits emerge,

protecting vulnerable communities and strengthening social

cohesion. The Pacific thrives in global trade, while Australia

and New Zealand begin restoring their natural resource base.

A delayed yet abrupt transition results in up to 2°C warming by

2100, with incremental progress in air pollution and energy access.

A climate tipping point is narrowly avoided.

Economic disparities persist, with slowly converging income levels.

Education remains moderate, and healthcare improvements are

limited. Political stability varies, and global markets remain only

partially connected.

Weak land use regulation leads to environmental degradation, while

technological progress is uneven across regions. In Australia and

New Zealand, climate response is short-term and incremental,

with weak targets and enforcement, leaving the region unprepared

compared to The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and

Development (OECD) peers.

As extreme climate events in Australia and New Zealand

increase, panic leads to drastic but reactive emissions reductions.

Adaptation is delayed, then rapid and disruptive, with minimal

protections for vulnerable populations.

The Pacific is divided among competing trade blocs, with shifting

alliances based on short-term economic interests. While demand

for green products grows, Australia and New Zealand struggle to

benefit until the 2040s. Economic concerns dominate, outweighing

social and environmental priorities.

With no significant policy shifts, global warming exceeds 3°C

by 2100, causing severe climate impacts. Until 2050, these

remain manageable, but afterward, they intensify uncontrollably,

surpassing climate tipping points. The world continues prioritising

business as usual, with weak mitigation efforts and unaffordable

adaptation costs. Economic disparities widen, leading to social

fragmentation and increased conflict.

A growing divide emerges between high-tech economies and

low-tech, labour-intensive societies, worsening inequality.

Healthcare advancements benefit wealthier regions, but the

majority face worsening conditions. Environmental degradation

accelerates, with carbon capture and geoengineering becoming

primary solutions. The energy sector remains diversified,

investing in both high-carbon fuels and low-carbon alternatives.

Australia and New Zealand fall behind OECD peers, focusing

on costly adaptation while failing to curb emissions effectively.

Carbon markets remain ineffective, and reliance on weak trading

schemes persists. The Pacific economy is dominated by external

influences, with limited demand for sustainable products. Market

disruptions increase, favouring new entrants over established

players due to high adaptation costs.

Economic interests take priority, with water rights auctioned to

the highest bidders, offering minimal protections for ecosystems.

Time horizons

The time horizons for the scenario analysis were chosen to align with our current business planning cycle and

sector-specific climate risk. These scenarios and time horizons provide diverse but realistic views of the future,

helping Ryman assess the potential impacts of climate change on our business model within a relevant planning

period. FY25 marks the final year of our defined short-term horizon. In FY26, we plan to assess whether our scenario

analysis remains fit for purpose, considering the updated sector guidance and exploring how to better integrate this

into business decision-making, particularly to guide risk management focus, inform capital planning, and support

long-term strategic decisions.

Kevin Hickman Village

Ryman’s recent village developments reflect a shift toward more sustainable energy systems. One early

example of this transition is an apartment building at our Kevin Hickman Village, which was constructed

using cross-laminated timber, an innovative approach that significantly reduces reliance on concrete and

structural steel. This reduces embodied carbon and results in a lighter building structure with reduced

foundation and seismic requirements. This village also became the first in our portfolio to be fitted with

a high-efficiency heat pump water system, marking a key step away from conventional gas-powered hot

water heating.

Building on this progress, we are working toward integrating these learnings into the design of future

villages to enhance environmental performance across both construction and operational emissions.

Capital deployment and funding processes to address

identified climate risks

Ryman continues to embed climate risks and opportunities into our capital

deployment and funding processes. Physical climate risks such as storms,

flooding and heat have the potential to create significant impacts on the

business and our operations. For new developments, Ryman conducts a

detailed feasibility analysis that includes projected cash flows from owning

and operating the village over a 30-year period.

For existing villages, Ryman undertakes an annual business planning

and budgeting process to allocate funding for projects, including the

replacement, repair, or upgrade of existing assets and infrastructure. In

response to both climate risks and to drive energy efficiency, during FY25

Ryman began replacing end of life gas boilers with hot water heat pumps at

selected villages and upgrading HVAC systems where required to improve

energy performance. A major focus has also been lighting upgrades, with

more than 25 villages transitioning to LED systems. Hot water system

replacements and flow rebalancing have been implemented to support

water efficiency, while insulation and double-glazing improvements are

being prioritised across older villages.

An important consideration is the potential for increased capital and

operational costs associated with climate risk mitigation and adaptation

measures. These additional costs may need to be factored into future

pricing decisions, and this will be an important element of ongoing business

planning and financial assessments.

Transition plan

As outlined in the strategy section, Ryman is navigating a significant period

of change to improve our financial performance.

As we transform our business, we are building the foundations of a climate

transition plan, rather than delivering a comprehensive strategy. This will

enable us to take practical, prioritised steps to build resilience across our

existing portfolio, and ensure that the foundations are in place for climate

resilient future developments.

The New Zealand Government’s Sapere report

into aged care funding

has identified that the sector is underfunded and a substantial increase

in the regulated care price is required. The ability of aged care providers,

including Ryman, to invest in the climate resilience of existing aged care

infrastructure is constrained until this is addressed. A review of the funding

model is currently underway.

In FY26, we will focus on strengthening the resilience and adaptability of

our existing villages. Work is already underway to develop a long-term asset

management plan that will guide climate-related investments where they

are most needed. Building on earlier physical climate risk assessments, our

attention is now shifting toward evaluating whether current assets remain fit

for purpose. Key priorities include enhancing energy efficiency – especially

in older buildings – and ensuring that infrastructure continues to support

resident wellbeing amid evolving climate conditions.

While new village development is not an immediate priority, climate-related

risks and long-term resilience are being factored into future village planning.

This includes considering how assets will perform over their lifespan, how

resident needs may evolve, and what infrastructure standards will be

required to operate effectively in a changing climate. These considerations

align with Ryman’s business transformation programme and support a more

sustainable and financially disciplined approach to development.

Progress toward our science-based target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions

will continue. Village vehicles are transitioning to hybrid models, though

electrifying village vans remains a challenge due to the limited availability of

suitable electric vehicles.

Phasing out end-of-life gas boilers and improving energy efficiency,

particularly in older assets, will continue to be a priority.

From FY26, Ryman will begin reporting on Scope 3 emissions, supported by

the design and implementation of a Scope 3 methodology. While waste from

refurbishments and village operations is already measured, the focus this year

will be on using that data to identify opportunities to reduce waste volumes

and associated emissions, particularly through improved resource efficiency

and operational practices.

Embedding climate into our Group Risk Management Framework

Recognising the importance of navigating our changing environment, our aim is to fortify our operations against

potential disruptions while capitalising on sustainable growth opportunities.

Our climate risk assessments, including the process of identifying specific risks and opportunities posed by

climate change and/or the transition to a low-carbon economy, are integrated into Ryman’s overall Group Risk

Management Framework (GRMF).

The GRMF is based on the principles of ISO 31000:2018 risk management guidelines and is designed to identify

and effectively manage risks that could impact our ability to achieve business objectives. It provides a structured

approach to assessing and managing the level of risk we are prepared to accept in pursuit of these objectives. The

framework ensures alignment and consistency across risk identification, assessment, management, monitoring and

reporting activities. It is also aligned with the New Zealand Institute of Directors’ approach, supporting a more robust

understanding and measurement of risk through both qualitative and quantitative methods. Further details on our

risk management is available on page 139 of the Annual Report.

The GRMF outlines 11 material risk categories, enabling Ryman to prioritise and focus on those risks with the greatest

potential impact to our business. Climate-related risk is one of these categories and encompasses both physical

and transition risks. All material risks, including climate-related risks, are managed in accordance with Ryman’s risk

appetite framework. Risks identified as outside of appetite are escalated and prioritised for action.

The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) relating to climate-risk levels are:

1. Achieving our science-based emissions reduction target within scopes 1 and 2

2. Delivering on scope 3 emissions supplier engagement project

3. Monitoring and maintaining assessed physical climate risk levels to within tolerance.

Updating our climate-related scenario analysis over time

Ryman continues to use the climate scenarios as detailed in its FY24 Climate-Related Disclosures.

Since our initial scenario analysis was conducted before the release of updated construction and healthcare sector

analyses in late 2023 and 2024, we will incorporate these insights as part of our upcoming strategy review to ensure

alignment with the latest sector guidance.

Ryman has several dedicated internal risk management forums where climate-related risks, issues and opportunities

are discussed. This approach supports greater understanding, identification and assessment of climate-related risks

and their potential impact across the enterprise. We have not yet assessed climate-related risks in detail across our

supply chain.

Robot mowers making a quiet difference

We introduced electric robot mowers in several of our villages across New Zealand as part of our wider

efforts to reduce emissions and improve operational efficiency. These battery-powered mowers are a

quieter, low-emissions alternative to traditional petrol and ride-on equipment, helping to cut down fuel

use, noise, and maintenance-related emissions.

Beyond emissions reductions, the mowers deliver additional environmental and operational benefits.

They self-mulch, returning finely cut grass to the soil. This improves lawn health and eliminates the need

to collect and transport grass clippings for offsite disposal, reducing green waste volumes and associated

transport emissions.

And they haven’t gone unnoticed. Residents have taken a real shine to the new additions, with several

villages running naming competitions to welcome them to the team. Favourites so far include David Mowie

and The Lawn Ranger.

approach (subject to assurance)

Ryman’s emissions are calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol

Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. Ryman applies the

operational control consolidation approach, allowing us to focus on

emissions we can influence directly and manage through operational

decision-making.

Our organisational boundary includes all sites operated by Ryman in

New Zealand and Australia. This covers corporate offices, villages,

warehouses, and land bank sites, including villages under construction

and those in development. Ryman’s Independent Living Units (ILUs)

are outside of our operational boundary

.

A diagram of our organisational structure and a map of included sites

are provided in Figures 2 and 3.

Patrick Hogan Village gardener, Mark.

While ILUs are not leased in the conventional sense, they are governed by occupation right agreements (ORAs), which grant residents the right to occupy a unit. Residents are generally responsible

for arranging and paying for their own utilities and would be included in Scope 3 under Category 13 - Downstream leased assets, in line with GHG Protocol guidance. While these emissions fall within

Scope 3, they are not currently reported as part of Ryman’s inventory as we have not yet undertaken a full Scope 3 assessment and we continue to rely on adoption provision 4 of NZCS. Emissions

associated with waste services for ILUs are, however, included under Scope 3, Category 5 – Waste generated in operations. This is because waste management is a service procured by Ryman on

behalf of residents and is covered within the weekly management fee charged to independent residents. Emissions associated with waste from independent townhouses, where waste is collected

through local council services procured by Ryman, are not currently included due to lack of necessary data and sufficiently reliable or accurate estimates are unable to be made. Wastewater

emissions from all independent residents are also excluded for the same reason. In both cases, Ryman has applied Adoption Provision 4 of the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards.

Methodology

For FY25 we applied emissions factors and 100-year global warming

potentials (GWPs) including the following key sources:

• New Zealand Ministry for the Environment. Measuring emissions:

A guide for organisations: 2025

• Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment

and Water. National Greenhouse Accounts Factors: 2024

• New Zealand Gazette, Notice of Approval of Unique Emissions

Factors (2023).

Our data is sourced from supplier invoices, external reports, and internal

reporting. Where complete data sets were unavailable, we applied

assumptions to ensure completeness and consistency.

Full details of the emissions factors, methodologies, and assumptions

used are provided in Appendix 3.

Scope of reporting:

• Scope 1: Direct emissions from natural gas, fertiliser use, petrol, diesel

(stationary and mobile combustion), and refrigerant leakage at sites

under Ryman’s operational control

• Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity across villages,

offices, construction sites, and warehouses (location-based and

market-based)

• Scope 3: Selected indirect emissions from operational waste (landfill

and recycling), construction waste (landfill only), and business travel.

Ryman has applied Adoption provision 4: Scope 3 GHG emissions

to a subset of its Scope 3 emissions including wastewater and waste

from its independent townhouses collected by council services and

has not disclosed the following categories of emission marked as ‘Not

Scope 1: Total, Scope 2 - emissions from imported energy (location-based), and Selected Scope 3: Total emissions for the year ended 31 March 2025 as disclosed in Table 6 have been

included in the scope of PwC's limited assurance engagement. Other than as described as being subject to assurance, no other disclosure in this Climate-Related Disclosure report have

been included in the assurance engagement and are not covered by the limited assurance report issued. Refer to page 31, in our limited assurance report.

Ryman's original FY21 reported Scope 1 emissions were higher than the SBTi validated emissions by 33 tCO2e, due to a difference in emission factors applied to fuel between reported

emissions and the SBTi validated inventory. These were subsequently restated. Refer to footnote 3.

3

Scope 1 emissions for FY21 have been restated to include updated estimated refrigerant leakage. This resulted in an increase of 235 tCO2e, raising total Scope 1 emissions for FY21 from

4,317 tCO2e to 4,552 tCO2e. This adjustment ensures comparability with FY25.

4

Scope 1 emissions for FY24 have been restated to include updated estimated refrigerant leakage. This resulted in an increase of 345 tCO2e, raising total Scope 1 emissions for FY24 from

4,318 tCO2e to 4,663 tCO2e. This adjustment ensures comparability with FY25.

5

Scope 2 market-based emissions are Ryman’s original FY21 reported emissions. These are lower than the SBTi validated emissions by 222 tCO2e, due to a difference in Australian emission

factors between reported emissions and the SBTi validated target.

6

FY24 Scope 3 waste emissions have been restated as the landfill emission factors used in the original calculation did not follow the intended methodology: where landfill-specific factors

were available, they were used; in all other cases, the New Zealand average factor for landfills with gas recovery was applied. This increased reported Scope 3 waste emissions by 294 tCO2e,

from 4,123 tCO2e to 4,417 tCO2e.

Scope 2 emissions (market-based)

• Overall market-based emissions declined from FY24 due to expanded

renewable electricity procurement

1

• In New Zealand, 91% of electricity consumption was matched with

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), enabling zero market-based

emissions for those sites under the GHG Protocol Scope 2 guidance

• In Australia, Ryman procurement of GreenPower through its energy

retailer to Australian villages began in July and supported 67% of

market-based emissions for those locations.

Scope 2 emissions (location-based)

• Overall location-based emissions increased in FY25 from FY24

and our baseline as expected with new village care centres opening

during the year and excludes the renewable energy certificates and

GreenPower purchases.

Scope 3 emissions

• Scope 3 emissions from construction waste declined from prior

year, reflecting the slowdown and pause in new development activity

• Business travel emission also declined significantly year on year

reflecting reduced discretionary travel across the business.

Ryman does not currently purchase carbon offsets and does not apply an

internal carbon price as part of its emissions management approach.

GHG emissions (market-based) performance

summary for FY25

In FY25, Ryman’s total gross reported market-based emissions decreased

by 38% compared to FY24. This reduction reflects the impact of renewable

energy procurement, operational improvements, and lower development

activity during the year.

This progress has occurred alongside continued organisational growth.

Since setting our FY21 baseline, we have opened eight new villages –

including four new main buildings in FY25 – expanding our footprint and

the services we provide. Reducing absolute emissions in this context

reflects the positive impact of targeted emissions reduction efforts and

ongoing improvements to energy performance.

Updates to estimation methodologies and a more clearly defined

organisational boundary have improved data accuracy and have been

consistently applied to the restated FY21 and FY24 numbers. These

changes did not contribute to the reported reduction.

Scope 1 emissions

• Mobile combustion emissions decreased from prior year due to

a reduction in Ryman’s operational vehicle fleet and a pause in

construction activity, leading to lower diesel use at development sites

• Stationary combustion emissions increased marginally from FY24,

reflecting the commissioning of gas heating systems at two newly

opened aged care centres. While Ryman is committed to transitioning

away from fossil fuels, these developments were designed and

consented several years ago, prior to the adoption of our current

sustainability targets. Future builds will aim to align more closely with

our low-emissions objectives

• Fugitive emissions increased in FY25, from FY24 and our baseline,

reflecting growth in our portfolio, particularly in our Australian villages,

many of which use centralised air conditioning systems with higher

refrigerant loads.

1

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for New Zealand sites were tracked and retired via the BraveTrace registry. In Australia, Ryman procured GreenPower through its electricity retailer to match electricity use in village operations. Both BraveTrace-tracked RECs and GreenPower

purchases supported zero market-based emissions for applicable sites in FY25, in accordance with the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance. These instruments and associated data were not included within the scope of limited assurance over Ryman’s FY25 GHG emissions inventory.

23RYMAN HEALTHCARE CLIMATE-RELATED DISCLOSURES 2025GovernanceStrategyRisk managementMetrics and targetsAppendicesOur villages and directoryStatement of compliance
Limitations, estimations and exclusions

(subject to assurance)

Ryman continues to refine our emissions reporting to enhance

completeness and accuracy. In FY25, several emissions sources

were either excluded or estimated using proxy methods due to data

availability constraints.

Under Adoption Provision 4 of NZCS 2, the following Scope 3 sources

were excluded from the FY25 inventory:

• Wastewater emissions: Due to limited availability of reliable site-level

discharge data, wastewater emissions have been fully excluded from

the FY25 inventory. A suitable estimation methodology has not yet

been developed to support inclusion of this category

• Waste emissions from independent townhouses collected by council

services: Excluded from Scope 3, as this waste is collected through

council services and falls outside Ryman’s contractor-managed

systems which means we are unable to access activity data and

sufficiently reliable or accurate estimates are unable to be made.

The following sources were included in the FY25 inventory using estimation

methods due to data limitations. While uncertainty is higher, inclusion was

considered appropriate based on materiality and available data:

• Australian natural gas use: For one village, proxy values were based on

per-resident averages from comparable sites; for the other, an average

of available data for that site was used due to incomplete records

• Refrigerant leakage: In both New Zealand and Australia, refrigerant

asset-level charge and top-up data is not consistently available.

Emissions were estimated using default leakage rates and HVAC

equipment inventories

• Waste emissions: Assumptions regarding emissions from landfill

waste carry uncertainty. This uncertainty arises from the use of

assumed waste disposal sites in New Zealand and, in Australia,

from the application of national average emission factors.

These limitations reflect current data constraints, not the expected level

of future reporting. All categories have been flagged for review, with

improvements in data capture and estimation planned for FY26.

Further detail on exclusions, assumptions, and data quality ratings is

provided in the methodology and data quality appendix (see Appendix 3).

Restatement of prior period emissions

Ryman has restated our FY21 and FY24 emissions for the following

methodological and disclosure issues identified during the FY25

inventory process:

• Refrigerant emissions (Australia and New Zealand): Leakage rates

were revised, and emissions have been restated for FY21

1

and FY24

to ensure consistency with FY25

• Waste disposal emissions (New Zealand): Scope 3 emissions have

been restated due to revised emission factors. In FY24, landfill-specific

factors from the New Zealand Gazette were applied to sites without

unique factors. In line with the methodology adopted in FY25, national

default emission factors have now been applied retrospectively to

landfills without unique emissions factors for FY24

• Wastewater emissions: Wastewater emissions were not reported

in FY21 and FY24 when our Climate-Related Disclosures for FY24

indicated their inclusion. As outlined above, there is currently

insufficient reliable data to accurately calculate these emissions.

Wastewater emissions have been, and continue to be, excluded from

the inventory of all periods reported. This restatement revises narrative

only and does not result in changes of reported tCO2e emissions.

These revisions have resulted in an increase in reported FY24 and FY21

emissions and ensure consistency in the treatment of emission sources

across reporting years.

Metrics and targets

We remain committed to our science-based targets, aligned with a 1.5°C pathway and verified by the SBTi. In FY25, we achieved a reduction of 41% in Scope 1

and 2 (market-based) emissions relative to a 2021 baseline bringing us within reach of our 2030 target of a 42% absolute reduction.

Following significant organisational changes, most notably the pause in new village construction and shift to an outsourced model, we have reviewed the

relevance of the climate metrics and targets in our FY24 Climate-Related disclosures. Those previously tied to our internal development pipeline are no longer

appropriate and have been placed on hold. While our core science-based targets remain in place, we are not setting additional targets at this stage and are

reassessing which indicators best support our updated business strategy and transition planning.

We have ongoing physical climate risk assessments across our owned and operated villages.

In parallel, supplier engagement will be a key area of focus for FY26 as we measure our full Scope 3 emissions and explore the feasibility of future

reduction targets.

To support internal resourcing and focus on regulatory priorities, we have opted not to participate in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) this year.

Six years of climate-friendly composting at Evelyn Page Village

Ryman's Evelyn Page Retirement Village has reached two impressive milestones as part of its long-standing

involvement in the City to Farm composting initiative, and it’s a celebration of both environmental impact

and community values.

First, the Ōrewa-based village is marking six years of partnership with the pilot programme, which sees

food scraps collected from the village, fermented, and composted at a nearby farm in Waitoki, now

transformed into a banana plantation. The project is run by Sustainable North Trust and has become

a local model for circular economy in action.

The second milestone is just as exciting. The village has exceeded 100 tonnes of food scraps collected,

which equates to 190 tonnes of CO

2

equivalent avoided.

Ryman is proud to be part of this initiative and to support residents who are passionate about reducing

waste and protecting the environment. The village’s ongoing commitment makes a meaningful difference,

not only by keeping food out of landfill, but by turning it into something valuable for the community.

Bananas grown on the farm are even being donated to a local kindergarten, bringing the journey full circle.

Image: Evelyn Page Village residents Graeme Howard (left) and Sue Hoy check out the new bananas growing at farmer

Phil Grainger's plantation in nearby Waitoki.

Capital deployment

While Ryman has not yet established a dedicated budget specifically for climate-related risks and opportunities,

investment is already occurring in areas aligned with our decarbonisation goals. Looking ahead, climate-related

considerations will be more explicitly integrated into capital planning from FY26 as part of our long-term asset

strategy. Anticipated areas of future investment include:

• Electrification and energy upgrades: Transitioning away from natural gas remains a key decarbonisation

priority. However, implementation is complex due to legacy infrastructure and site-specific constraints.

Feasibility assessments are underway to guide investment planning.

• Renewable energy: We are committed to increasing our use of renewable energy where possible. While we are

fortunate to have an existing renewable electricity agreement in place, we acknowledge the ongoing challenges

in the Australian renewable energy market, particularly in Victoria. Grid capacity constraints and infrastructure

limitations present barriers to further procurement, and these factors will inform our future investment decisions

and planning.

In FY26, Ryman will work towards a more structured approach to climate-aligned capital deployment, which will be

implemented to support our science-based targets and long-term transition strategy.

Industry-based metrics

Ryman does not currently report formal industry-based climate metrics specific to aged care and retirement living.

We will continue to assess the suitability of industry-based metrics as we continue to refine our sustainability strategy,

roadmap, and targets.

Disclosure of climate risk and opportunity exposure

Details on the amount and percentage of Ryman’s assets and business activities exposed to climate-related risks

and opportunities can be found on pages 12–14. This includes the proportion of assets or activities vulnerable to

transition risks, those exposed to physical risks, and the proportion aligned with climate-related opportunities.

Calculation methods

Ryman applies a range of calculation methods depending on the type and availability of data. The selected

approach aligns with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and prioritises the use of actual activity data

where possible. The following methods were used in FY25:

Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions

Activity-based method

• Fuel use (petrol and diesel) in generators and vehicles is based on supplier invoices and portal data

• Natural gas consumption is calculated from gas supplier invoices and estimated where not available

• Fertiliser application (kg nitrogen) is based on supplier records for selected villages, applied to all villages

• Electricity use is calculated from kWh figures on supplier invoices across both NZ and Australian sites.

Hybrid method

• Hybrid calculation method was applied using estimated installed Asset level charge and default annual leakage rate

• Charge values were based on supplier records and system specifications for selected villages, applied to all villages

• No actual leakage or top-up data is currently tracked.

Scope 3 emissions

A mix of methods was applied depending on data type:

Distance-based method

• Air travel, using supplier booking data for flight distance and class. A radiative forcing factor of 1.9 is applied

• Car rental, based on distance travelled or fuel use from rental records

• Mileage claims, based on staff-submitted records through Ryman’s internal expense system

• Accommodation, based on number of nights stayed from supplier invoices.

Supplier-specific and waste-type specific method

• Waste emissions were calculated based on the weight (in tonnes) of each waste stream and treatment method

as reported by our waste service providers.

Spend-based method

• Taxi and rideshare travel, where distance or mileage data is unavailable, using total spend data from expense

claims and supplier portals.

Methodological changes in FY25

Two methodological refinements were introduced in FY25 to improve the accuracy, completeness and consistency

of reported emissions. These changes have been applied retrospectively to FY24 and FY21 figures where relevant to

ensure comparability across reporting years.

• Refrigerant leakage: Leakage rates were updated from a uniform 1% for R410A to differentiated rates of 4%

for VRV systems and 3% for smaller or unknown systems, based on IPCC (2006), MfE (2024), and Efficiency

Maine (2022)

• Waste disposal: In New Zealand, it is assumed that waste is disposed of at the nearest landfill to each Ryman

location. Where valid landfill-specific emission factors were available, these were applied. In all other cases, the

national average factor for landfills with gas recovery was used. In Australia, a national average emission factor

was applied due to the absence of site-specific data.

Appendix 3: Methodology and data quality (subject to assurance)

This appendix outlines the methodologies, data sources, and quality assessments applied across Ryman’s FY25 GHG emissions inventory. Each emissions category is assessed for data reliability,

estimation assumptions, and identified uncertainties, using a defined data quality and uncertainty scale to support transparency and continuous improvement.

30RYMAN HEALTHCARE CLIMATE-RELATED DISCLOSURES 2025GovernanceStrategyRisk managementMetrics and targetsAppendicesOur villages and directoryStatement of compliance
Limitations, estimations and exclusions

GHG emission quantification is inherently uncertain due to the necessity

to estimate and apply judgements, and because of incomplete scientific

knowledge used to determine emission factors and the values needed to

combine emissions of different gases.

Further detail on categories with higher uncertainty or data limitations

is provided in Table 11. These categories were assessed based on data

availability, estimation uncertainty, and alignment with Ryman’s 5%

per-scope materiality threshold. All other reported sources not included

in these tables are either; material and based on high-quality data with low

estimation uncertainty, or considered immaterial, based on the combined

materiality and uncertainty assessment.

Data quality scale

• High: Based on complete, site-specific actual data (e.g. invoices

or meter readings) used; minimal assumptions

• Medium: Based on partial actual data; some estimation or proxy data

• Low: Mostly estimated or modelled data.

Uncertainty scale

• Low: Strong confidence in data reliability and accuracy, with a clear

understanding of any limitations

• Medium: Reasonable confidence in data reliability, with some

acknowledged limitations

• High: Limited confidence in data reliability, with notable uncertainties

that may affect interpretation.

In New Zealand, total refrigerant charge data was provided by a third-party contractor

but was not linked to specific assets. In Australia, charge data was generally available

at the asset level, though some was based on prior-year records. In both countries, no

actual leakage or top-up data was available, and emissions were calculated using default

leakage rates. As a result, data quality is rated low due to reliance on broad estimation

assumptions and limited asset-specific traceability in New Zealand. In New Zealand,

a leakage rate of 3% was applied to non-ducted and ducted split commercial air

conditioning systems, and 8% to chillers and refrigeration/freezer units. In Australia, a

4% leakage rate was used for VRV systems, and 3% for smaller or unspecified systems.

These rates were derived from IPCC (2006), MfE (2024), and Efficiency Maine (2022).

Independent Assurance Report

To the Directors of Ryman Healthcare Limited


Limited Assurance Report on Ryman Healthcare Limited’s

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Disclosures

Our conclusion

We have undertaken a limited assurance engagement on the gross GHG

emissions, additional required disclosures of gross GHG emissions, and

gross GHG emissions methods, assumptions and estimation uncertainty

(the GHG Disclosures), as outlined within the Scope of our Limited

Assurance E

ngagement section below, included in the Climate-Related

Disclosures report (the Climate Disclosures report) of Ryman Healthcare

Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group) for the year ended

31 March 2025.

Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have

obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that

the GHG Disclosures are not fairly prese

nted and are not prepared, in all

material respects, in accordance with the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate

Standards (NZ CSs) issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB), as

explained on page 1 of the Climate Disclosures report.

Scope of our limited assurance engagement

We have undertaken a limited assurance engagement over the following

GHG Disclosures on pages 19, 21, 23 and 28-30 of the Climate

Disclosures report for the year ended 31 March 2025:

● gross GHG emissions:

○ Scope 1: Total of 4,763 tCO2e on page 21;




○ Scope 2: Indirect emissions from imported energy (location-

based) of 12,409 tCO2e on page 21; and

○ Selected Scope 3: Total of 3,050 tCO2e on page 21, comprising:

■ Category 5 - Waste generated in operations; and

■ Category 6 - Business travel;

● additional required disclo

sures of gross GHG emissions on pages 19,

23 and 28; and

● gross GHG emissions methods, assumptions and estimation

uncertainty on pages 21, 23 and 29-30.

Our assurance engagement does not extend to any other information

included, or referred to, in the Climate Disclosures report on pages 1-18

and 20-28. The comparative information for the years ended 31 March

2021 and 31 March 2024 disclosed in th

e Group’s Climate Disclosures

report are not covered by the assurance conclusion expressed in this

report. We have not performed any procedures with respect to the

excluded information and, therefore, no conclusion is expressed on it.

Key Matters to the GHG assurance engagement

In this section we present those matters that, in our professional

judgement, were most significant in undertaking the as

surance

engagement over the GHG Disclosures. These matters were addressed in

the context of our assurance engagement, and in forming our conclusion.

We did not reach a separate assurance conclusion on each individual key

matter.

Description of key matter How our assurance engagement addressed the key matter

Recognition of Waste Emissions from Independent Living Units and

Exclusion of Wastewater Emissions


Ryman used more than one provider for waste collections across its

independent living units, resulting in varied data quality for emissions

measurement. Consequently, differing recognition principles have been

applied

to emissions from waste.

As described in footnote 1 on page 19, emissions associated with waste

services from certain independent living units that were separately procured

have been recognised in Scope 3 - Category 5, however waste emissions

from independent townhouses collected by council services and wastewater

emissions have been excluded from reported Scope 3, as a sufficiently

reliable esti

mate of the proportion of cost or activity relevant to waste could

not be made. Refer to note, “Limitations, estimations and exclusions (subject

to assurance)” on page 23 for more information.

Ryman elected to utilise adoption provision 4 for the waste emissions from

independent townhouses and all wastewater emissions, excluding these

from the reported Scope 3 emissions and permitting management

additional

time to gather the necessary data for future reporting periods.

The recognition of waste emissions and the exclusion of wastewater

emissions across similar living unit types is considered a key matter, due to

the judgement required in determining the appropriate treatment of material

sources of emissions based on varying data availability.

In considering the treatment of waste and waste

water emissions, we:

● enquired of management to understand the recognition policies and

procedures for waste and wastewater, including their rationale for

election of adoption provision 4;

● discussed, with management, the rationale for exclusion of some, but

not all, of these emissions from the reported Scope 3 amounts;

● read management’s Operational Boundary Assessment and the

treatment of wa

ste management services;

● inspected invoices to understand the data availability from different

service providers;

● considered the GHG Protocol requirements for measurement of Scope

3 emissions and whether, subject to Ryman taking the available

adoption provision 4, they required inclusion of these emissions in the

reported amounts; and

● considered the disclosure made by Ryman in relation to e

xclusion of

Other matter - comparative information

The comparative GHG Disclosures (that is, GHG Disclosures for the years

ended 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2024) have not been subject to

assurance. As such, these disclosures are not covered by our assurance

conclusion.

Directors’ responsibilities

The Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company

for the preparation and fair presentation

of the GHG Disclosures in

accordance with NZ CSs. This responsibility includes the design,

implementation and maintenance of internal controls relevant to the

preparation of GHG Disclosures that are free from material misstatement

whether due to fraud or error.

Inherent Uncertainty in preparing GHG Disclosures

As discussed on page 30 of the Climate Disclosures report, the GHG

quantification is su

bject to inherent uncertainty because of incomplete

scientific knowledge used to determine emissions factors and the values

needed to combine emissions of different gases.

Our independence and quality management

This assurance engagement was undertaken in accordance with New

Zealand Standard on Assurance Engagements 1 Assurance Engagements

over Greenhouse Gas Emissions Disclosures, issued by the E

xternal

Reporting Board (XRB) (NZ SAE 1). NZ SAE 1 is founded on the

fundamental principles of independence, integrity, objectivity, professional

competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.

We have also complied with the following professional and ethical

standards and accreditation body requirements:

● Professional and Ethical Standard 1: International Code of Ethics for

Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence

Standards) (New Zealand);

● Professional and Ethical Standard 3: Quality Management for Firms

that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other

Assurance or Related Services Engagements; and

● Professional and Ethical Standard 4: Engagement Quality Reviews.

In our capacity as auditor and assurance practitioner, our firm p

rovides

other assurance services. Our firm also carries out other services relating

to the provision of whistleblower services to the Group. In addition, certain

partners and employees of our firm may deal with the Group on normal

terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business. The

firm has no other relationship with, or interests in, the Group.

Assurance practitioner’s res

ponsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the GHG Disclosures

based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have

obtained. NZ SAE 1 requires us to plan and perform the engagement to

obtain the intended level of assurance about whether anything has come

to our attention that causes us to believe that the GHG Disclosures are not

fairly presented and are not prepa

red, in all material respects, in

accordance NZ CSs, whether due to fraud or error, and to report our

conclusion to the Directors of the Company.

As we are engaged to form an independent conclusion on the GHG

Disclosures prepared by management, we are not permitted to be involved

in the preparation of the GHG information as doing so may compromise

our independence.

Summary of work performed

Our limited assurance engagement was performed in accordance with NZ

SAE 1, and ISAE (NZ) 3410 Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas

Emissions. This involves assessing the suitability in the circumstances of

the Group’s use of NZ CSs as the basis for the preparation of the GHG

Disclosures, assessing the risks of material misstatement of the GHG

Disclosures whether due

to fraud or error, responding to the assessed

risks as necessary in the circumstances, and evaluating the overall

presentation of the GHG Disclosures.

A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a

reasonable assurance engagement in relation to both the risk assessment

procedures, including an understanding of internal control, and the

procedures performed in response to the

assessed risks.

The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgement

and included enquiries, observation of processes performed, inspection of

documents, analytical procedures, evaluating the appropriateness of

quantification methods and reporting policies, and agreeing or reconciling

with underlying records. In undertaking our limited assurance engagement

on the GHG Disclosures, w

e:

● Obtained, through enquiries, an understanding of the Group’s control

environment, processes and information systems relevant to the

preparation of the GHG Disclosures. We did not evaluate the design of

particular control activities, or obtain evidence about their

implementation;

● Evaluated the Group’s organisational and operational boundaries to

assess completeness of GHG sources;

● Evaluate

d whether the Group’s methods for developing estimates are

appropriate and had been consistently applied. Where we considered

it to be appropriate, we tested, on a limited sample basis, the data on

which the estimates are based;

● Undertook site visits at Group’s head office and one of the Group’s

retirement villages to assess the completeness of the emissions

sources;

● Tested a limited number of

items to, or from, supporting records, as

appropriate;

● Assessed all emission factor sources and reperformed a limited

sample of emissions calculations for mathematical accuracy;

● Performed analytical procedures on particular emission categories by

comparing the expected GHGs emitted to actual GHGs emitted and

made enquiries of management to obtain explanations for any

significant differences w

e identified; and

● Considered the presentation and disclosure of the GHG Disclosures.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in

nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable

assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in

a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance

that would have been obtained ha

d we performed a reasonable assurance

engagement and does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would

become aware of all significant matters that we otherwise might identify.

Accordingly, we do not express a reasonable assurance opinion on these

GHG Disclosures.

Inherent limitations

Because of the inherent limitations of an assurance engagement,

together with the internal control structure, i

t is possible that fraud,

error or non-compliance may occur and not be detected.
