Radius Care Upgrades FY26 Outlook and Releases ASM Materials
Radius Residential Care Limited (NZX: RAD) (Radius Care) is holding its Annual
Shareholders’ Meeting today at 10:30am.
The presentation includes an upgraded outlook for FY26.
FY26 Upgraded Outlook
Radius Care provided a trading update on 13 June 2025, indicating that the Group’s
Underlying EBITDA
1
for the first half of FY26 was expected to be between $12.0m and
$15.0m, compared to $10.6m reported in 1H25.
As a result of continued strong trading during the first four months of FY26, 1H26
Underlying EBITDA is now expected to be in the range of $14.0m to $16.0m.
Improved EBITDA and interest cost savings will deliver additional growth in AFFO
1
and Net Profit After Tax compared to 1H25.
The strong performance has been driven by several factors, including:
• Further improvements in occupancy, averaging 94.8% for the four months
ended 31 July 2025. Occupancy for the month of July 2025 was 95.2%.
• Continued strong mix of hospital, ACC and other higher acuity / higher
revenue occupancy.
• Realised resales gains ahead of the same period in the prior year.
Copies of the meeting presentation and the Chair and CEO addresses are attached
in accordance with Listing Rule 3.19.2.

Radius Residential Care Limited
Annual Shareholders’ Meeting 2025
CHAIR’S ADDRESS – BRIEN CREE
Radius Care is New Zealand’s leading provider of high acuity, aged residential care and
health services, operating 24 aged care homes across New Zealand and four retirement
villages. We are a leading provider of essential and specialist healthcare services, with
our 2,000 exceptional people delivering exceptional care to our residents and delivering
returns to shareholders through capital growth and tax-paid distributions.
At Radius Care, we take pride in being New Zealand's leading provider of high acuity,
aged care, dedicated to ensuring the well-being of our residents as they age gracefully
within our residential communities and increasingly in their homes. With a deep
understanding of what quality, individualised care entails, we operate 24 aged care
homes and four vibrant retirement villages spanning from as far north as the Bay of
Islands to the southernmost city of Invercargill.
At a time when other retirement operators are scaling back aged care provisions, we are
in growth mode, as summarised by the key items below:
1. Profits and cash flow have increased due to operational efficiencies, high
occupancy rates (currently over 95%), and a focus on high-acuity care beds.
2. We are expanding through "capital-light" acquisitions, revenue diversification
and extending home care services as a health services company.
3. We have several opportunities to acquire land and have several landlord funded
building contracts to build 80 to 100 bed care homes throughout New Zealand.
These brand-new purpose-built care homes will help to partially alleviate the
looming shortage of care beds.
We acquired the 109-bed St Allisa care home in Christchurch in May 2025. Aligning with
our capital-light growth strategy, the land and buildings were sold to a private investor
and leased back to Radius Care – we acquired the business for just under $1.1 million. St
Allisa is expected to contribute to Radius Care’s earnings from the second half of FY26.
This acquisition demonstrates the favourable economics of targeted expansion primarily
through leased care homes.
In October 2024, we acquired a 51% stake in Cibus Catering Limited. Cibus is a specialist
catering provider that prepares over 6,000 daily meals for aged care homes and
boarding schools. Cibus contributed $4.1 million in revenue and $0.5m EBITDA to Radius
Care for the period from October 2024 to March 2025. This acquisition strengthens
Radius Care’s diversification strategy and positions Cibus for growth in the aged care and
broader food service sectors.
Radius Care has also expanded into In-Home Care services, providing support to private
and ACC-funded clients. From March 1, 2025, we began to offer hospital-level
rehabilitation services nationwide to ACC clients. These services focus on recovery,
independence, and quality of life, addressing issues such as spinal injuries, traumatic
brain injuries, musculoskeletal injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation.

This move aligns with government strategies and public demand, as New Zealand's
aging population increasingly prefers to remain at home with support. The initiative
helps ease hospital congestion, reduce inpatient costs, and expand Radius Care's market
reach while staying true to our core mission of delivering personalised, high-quality care.
The Radius journey began over twenty years ago, with just one care home, and a strong
personal motivation to build a business that puts quality care at the heart of its
operations. Through our unique processes, systems, culture, and people, we’ve
developed RadPro. RadPro is what makes us different. Fundamentally, RadPro is an
operational template that incorporates and supports resident-centric decision-
making, continuous improvement, and care home leadership.
We expect to progressively invest in advanced technologies and AI to support RadPro.
As an example, we’ve already been able to significantly enhance the effectiveness of our
staff training modules by incorporating multilingual podcasts. These podcasts help to
build a deeper understanding of the training content, increase engagement, and keep
staff more connected to the learning process. As a result, our training programs are now
more inclusive, accessible, and impactful across our diverse workforce.
Whilst it is primarily used to drive our current business efficiently, we consider that it can
be utilised both within New Zealand and overseas by companies that are currently
struggling to make care financially sustainable.
An updated Capital Management Framework, including a revised dividend policy, was
approved by the Board in May 2025. This updated framework is designed to allocate
investment in capital-light growth, while supporting reinvestment in our core operating
assets, sustainable dividend growth and reduced leverage.
With the economics in favour of leased care homes, we expect the majority of future care
homes, whether newly built or carefully targeted acquisitions, to be supported by private
property investors.
Our strong FY25 performance enabled us to continue to pay dividends. The total FY25
dividend was 1.45 cents per share, representing a gross, fully imputed dividend of 2.01
cents per share. This dividend was 47% of AFFO (Available Funds From Operations), in
line with our target dividend pay-out ratio of 40% to 70%. This dividend payment
supported both sustainable dividend growth whilst maintaining room for us to invest
and expand.
After a successful year, we are further anticipating growth across key financial metrics in
FY26, being Underlying EBITDA, EBITDAR per bed and AFFO.
We continue to be the leaders in aged care in New Zealand and as always, we owe
enormous thanks to our residents and their families for their continued support, and to
our exceptional people for their resilience and passion for delivering exceptional care.

Radius Residential Care Limited
Annual Shareholders’ Meeting 2025
CEO’S ADDRESS – ANDREW PESKETT
Good morning all. I am delighted to be presenting to you at my fourth Annual
Shareholder Meeting as CEO with the business performing well and beginning its
ambitious growth pathway.
Our focus on enabling our exceptional people to provide exceptional care to our 2,000
residents is producing strong customer feedback, audit results, financial results and
returns to shareholders.
Brien’s update touched on our excellent performance in FY25. To re-cap, we delivered
the following record results:
- EBITDAR per occupied bed of $28k.
- Underlying EBITDA of $23.5m.
- Operating Cash Flow of $20.1m.
- Net debt down from $73.5m to $67.7m.
As always, it is our exceptional people, our nurses, our healthcare assistants, activities
coordinators, gardeners, maintenance people, kitchen workers, and all others at Radius
that do such a wonderful job in providing the exceptional care to our residents every
single day of the year. We call it EPEC (Exceptional People, Exceptional Care).
At Radius Care, our strength lies in our people, our systems and our processes. From
frontline staff to Care Home Managers, we continue to build a workforce that is
committed, skilled, and trusted. Our investment in leadership, training, and staff
wellbeing is about more than just running excellent care homes - it’s about creating a
culture of care. The result is evident in the voices of our staff, the loyalty of our teams and
the care we provide to our residents.
Following FY24’s theme, our employees continue to be well engaged. We had a record
employee net promoter score of 74 for our Care Home Managers. Added to that, 60% of
our Regional and Care Home Managers have been promoted from within the business,
which shows that we are hiring and retaining the right people who are dedicated to
Radius and the work that we do.
Radius Care builds talent within our own workforce, beginning with hiring
compassionate people who have strong ties to their communities. When managerial
roles arise, we start by looking at our own talent to identify those ready to step up and
take on leadership roles.
Our company-wide staff turnover was reduced from 27% last year to 17% in FY25,
continuing the downward trend.
Our latest care home audit results demonstrate the top-tier quality of our care home
staff and systems with Radius Care achieving our highest-ever audit certification levels in
FY25. Since 1 April 2024 out of the 12 care home audits undertaken, 10 received four-year
certifications which is the maximum possible audit period granted by the Ministry of
Health. This indicates high-quality care standards, strong compliance and operational
excellence.

In recognition of the incredible service of our people, the Board continues to support the
issuance of a long-service loyalty share scheme which provides those employees who
have been with Radius Care for 10 years or more to a bonus issue of shares to the value
of $1,000.
Before I move on to cover our current performance, I want to extend an enormous
thanks to all our amazing nurses, carers and all our exceptional team who provide
uncompromised care and support to our residents at Radius care homes around the
country.
I have recently worked an eight-hour shift as a Health Care Assistant – an afternoon shift
until 11pm at Radius Taupaki. I can tell you that the compassion, courage and
commitment of our exceptional people is difficult to put into words. The bonds that I
formed with our Radius Carers and our residents through this shift will remain with me
for a long time. I am scheduled to work a morning shift at Waipuna later this month.
Thank you to all the 2,000 people that work so hard for Radius Care. I am very proud to
support you and work for an organisation with such a focus on care and its people.
I’d like to now provide an update on our performance in the first four months of FY26.
We provided a trading update in June, indicating that our key metric of underlying
EBITDA was likely to be in the range between $12m and $15m for the first half year. This
compares to last half year of $10.6m. Strong trading has continued since this update. For
the first half of FY26 we now expect to deliver underlying EBITDA in the range of $14m
to $16m. As previously reported, this is a result of a number of improved metrics
including:
- Occupancy in the late-94% range year to date, with a current occupancy of 95.8%.
- Strong mix of higher acuity/revenue residents such as hospital level and ACC
patients.
- Strong village resales with vacant stock selling quickly.
We also extended our core debt facility with the ASB to three years (with reduced margin
and line fees). As reported in June, interest cost savings in excess of $1.0m should provide
additional growth in AFFO and Net Profit.
We can also confirm that the funding increase for government funded residents has
been agreed, effective from 1 July 2025 at 4%. This was slightly ahead of our expectation.
As covered earlier, we are in a period of growth. Our focus on high acuity care, continued
refining of RadPro, expansion into adjacent offerings, and strategic acquisitions, is
setting us up well for future success.
In closing, we are really focussed on continuous improvement at Radius Care. Our
continued focus on delivery of exceptional care, our record trading in the first four
months of FY26 and our many and significant growth opportunities have us looking to
the future with considerable optimism.
Thank you to all our shareholders for the chance to present Radius Care’s results and
growth story today.
