First quarter trading update


Ryman Healthcare reports 337 sales of occupation right agreements (ORAs) for the quarter

ending 30 June 2025 (Q1 FY26), including 73 new sales and 264 resales. Sales figures reflect

retirement village units only and exclude refundable accommodation deposits (RADs) and

ORAs on aged care accommodation.


Total sales were 11 % below the same period last year, with resales (down 5%) performing

better than new sales (down 28%). Sequentially, total sales were up 12% on Q4 FY25.


Gross contracts (lead indicator) have continued to improve, climbing to 91% of the last two

prior-year comparatives, up from 75% in Q4 FY25 and 60% in Q3 FY25. This uplift reflects a

sustained emphasis on sales effectiveness across a range of initiatives including targeted

promotions and sales incentives, price optimisation, and continued investment in front-line

development.


CEO Naomi James said, “We have continued to see improving contracting and sales levels

through the quarter as we rebuild sales momentum at a higher level of DMF compared to

the past. The improving contracting momentum has been seen across most regions,

including in Auckland which has experienced more challenging property market conditions

in recent times. We still expect variability throughout the year given the flow-through

impacts of softer contracting in the second half of last year and mixed market conditions.”


Occupancy in Ryman’s mature aged care centres remained strong at 96. 2% in Q1 FY26, up

slightly compared to 96.0% in Q4 FY25. Recently opened care centres continue to fill well,

with average unoccupied beds at developing care centres reducing by 54 beds to 256 in Q1

FY26. The main building at Kevin Hickman is now open and welcomed its first care

residents in early July.


FY26 sales of ORAs are currently tracking towards the upper end of the previously guided

1,100 – 1,300 (FY25: 1,523).
