Tēnā koutou,

expected net cost of $177 million. This transaction positions the business for the future
via a structure that is fully aligned with Unit Holders and provides the following benefits:
1
Inclusive of the potential Coomera Stage 1 and Macarthur Stage 2 developments on a pro-forma fully leased basis assuming
these projects are activated and completed, equity raise proceeds of $235m and a net after tax cost to Vital of $177m.

- Kirsty Bowyer, Director NZ
Net property income
Net property income increased to $77.8 million for the Half
Year, up from $74.3 million for the prior corresponding period.
Underlying net property income rose by 4.0% (on a constant
currency, same property basis) reflecting Vital’s FY26 rent
review profile of ~63% of portfolio income linked to CPI and
~26% linked to periodic market reviews. This strong growth is
further supported by the leasing success achieved for the Half
Year which increased portfolio occupancy to 99.0%.

AFFO and distributions
AFFO per unit increased to 5.64 cents versus the prior
corresponding period, up 13.7%. Contributing to this result
has been the strong growth in net property income, up
4.7% (4.0% on a constant currency, same property basis),
a favourable Australian dollar exchange rate and the tax
benefits arising from Vital’s internalisation. These factors
have been partially offset by a higher net interest expense
and the additional units issued to fund the internalisation
of management.
Distributions have been maintained at 4.875cpu for the half
(9.75cpu annualised) and remain sustainable at this level with
a prudent AFFO payout ratio of 86.4%.
We remain focused on growing AFFO and Distribution per
unit over the medium term.
Net tangible assets
Net tangible assets fell ~6% per unit to $2.34 at 31 December
2025 compared to $2.47 at 30 June 2025. This reduction
was primarily attributable to the internalisation payment and
associated capital raising.
Capital management
At 31 December 2025, balance sheet gearing was 39.7%,
all-in weighted cost of debt was 5.01% (includes the cost of
hedging and line fees on undrawn facilities), weighted average
debt duration was 3.3 years, the weighted average hedging
term was 2.6 years and Vital had debt headroom in its existing
facilities of $154.2 million. During the Half Year, Vital transacted
on ~$374.6 million in new and restructured hedging providing
additional interest rate protection in later years.
Portfolio overview
Vital owns a high-quality ~$3.4 billion portfolio of 33 healthcare
investment properties, diversified across New Zealand and all
mainland Australian States. The portfolio comprises 25 private
hospitals (representing 80% of the portfolio value) and eight
ambulatory care facilities (20%). At 19.0 years, Vital’s WALE
remains the longest of any NZX or ASX listed REIT providing a
high level of income security for Unit Holders.
Leasing
Over 23,500 square metres of new or extended leasing
was undertaken across Vital‘s portfolio (representing ~10%
of Vital’s net lettable area and ~11% of Vital’s income) during
the Half Year.
Leasing success improved occupancy to 99.0% (98.6% at
30 June 2025) and extended Vital’s market leading WALE to
19.0 years (18.5 years at 30 June 2025) supporting the net
property income growth noted above.
Acquisitions and divestments
$97.9 million of asset sales were undertaken over HY26 with
the proceeds reinvested into Vital’s development pipeline.
No acquisitions were undertaken during HY26.

Developments and other capital works
Developments remain a key component of Vital’s strategy to continue to
deliver earnings and capital growth and improve the quality of the portfolio.
In particular, we are aiming to increase Vital’s exposure to sustainable
properties in core and emerging healthcare precincts in Queensland,
New South Wales and our home market, New Zealand, where
we continue to see significant opportunities to support private and public
healthcare operators.
Vital has a committed development pipeline of $257.9 million across four
projects of which $63.7 million is left to complete.
During the Half Year ~ $30.6 million was spent on developments and a
further ~$3.0 million was spent on value add capital works that improve
asset resilience and strengthen operator relations.
Significant development milestones during the Half Year and material
achievements post balance date include:
RDX, Gold Coast
Practical completion of three developments
during HY26 and RDX post balance date:
Boulcott Hospital, Lower Hutt
Completion of the $24.8 million theatre, recovery and support services
expansion provides increased clinical capacity at this strategically
positioned asset within a significant health campus. The expansion was
officially opened by the Hon Simeon Brown, Minister of Health with the
Hon Chris Bishop, Minister of Transport also in attendance.
Endoscopy Auckland (22-24 Kipling Ave), Epsom
The new purpose-built $32.2 million Endoscopy Auckland facility delivers
specialist healthcare services. This 5 Star Green Star designed asset has
four operating theatres and 16-beds and offers enhanced environmental
quality and reduced embodied carbon emissions.
Wakefield Hospital, Wellington
Completion of the $91.5 million Stage 2a state-of-the-art acute services
building significantly increases hospital capacity, flexibility and resilience.
The early operational commencement of the $11.5 million Level 5 ward
reflects strong healthcare demand, further embedding Wakefield Hospital
as the leading private healthcare facility in the Wellington region.
RDX, Gold Coast
RDX is a premium 6 Star Green Star designed asset offering health,
research and specialist consulting accommodation in a major health
precinct. Practical Completion of this A$134.2 million facility (excluding
land) was achieved in early February 2026 and a ~A$3.7 million NOI
guarantee is in place for 12 months post-practical completion. Leasing
engagement is positive although committed leasing is not yet at the
guarantee level and an 18-month ramp up is anticipated.
Activation of Coomera Stage 1, Queensland within the Coomera Health
Precinct. Commencement of this A$46.6 million medical office building
development in February 2026 was driven by anticipated tenant demand
and first mover advantage in this growth precinct.
Vital has a significant pipeline of future development opportunities
embedded in the portfolio and these will be activated on a selective basis,
including the ~A$95.3 million Macarthur Stage 2 opportunity currently
under evaluation.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
About this Report
1. Reporting Entity
Vital Healthcare Property Trust (“VHP”, "Vital" or the “Trust”) is a unit trust established under the Unit Trusts Act 1960 by a Trust Deed dated
11 February 1994 (as subsequently amended and replaced), domiciled in New Zealand. The Trust was managed by Northwest Healthcare
Properties Management Limited (the “Manager”) until 31 December 2025 when it relinquished its role and responsibilities. From this date
Vital Healthcare Properties Management Limited ("VHPML") has been appointed as the manager of the Trust. VHPML is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Vital and its registered office is at HSBC Tower, Level 17, 188 Quay Street, Auckland.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Vital for the six months ended 31 December 2025 comprise Vital and its
subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). Vital is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) and is a FMC reporting entity
for the purpose of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Group's principal activity is the direct and/or indirect investment in, and
management of, high quality real estate in good locations primarily used by healthcare operators or used for healthcare, life sciences and
related purposes.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Manager on 19 February 2026.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2025 (including comparative balances)
have been reviewed by the auditor. The 30 June 2025 comparatives were subject to independent audit.
2.
Basis of Preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP), NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and do not include notes of the type normally
included in an Annual Report. Therefore this report should be read in conjunction with the Group's most recent Annual Report. The
accounting policies and methods of computation have been consistently applied, when compared to those used in the 2025 Annual
Report. The 2025 Annual Report complies with New Zealand equivalents to the IFRS Accounting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other applicable
Financial Reporting Standards issued and effective at the time of preparing those statements.
(b)
Basis of consolidation
The Group’s financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Trust and entities controlled by the Trust (its subsidiaries). Control
is achieved where the Trust has power over the investees; is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investees;
and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The results of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements
from the date of acquisition to the date of disposal. All significant intra-group transactions, balances, cashflows, income and expenses are
eliminated on consolidation.
(c)
Basis of measurement
The Group uses the historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments and investment properties which are measured at fair
value. Historical cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given or received in exchange for assets or liabilities. Fair value is
the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.
(d)
Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars ($), which is the Trust's functional and presentation currency. All
information has been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000), unless stated otherwise.
INTERIM REPORT 2026|25
(e) Fair value hierarchy
The valuation technique inputs used to determine the value of an asset or liability are classified into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to
which the fair value inputs are observable. A description of levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on
observable market data (unobservable inputs).
(f) The notes to the consolidated financial statements
The following notes include information required to understand these financial statements that is relevant and material to the operations,
financial position and performance of the Group. The notes have been collated into sections to help users find and understand inter-related
information. Information is considered relevant and material if, for example:
•the amount is significant by virtue of its size or nature;
•it is important to understand the results of the Group;
•it helps explain the impact of significant changes in the Group's business; or
•it relates to an aspect of the Group's operations that is important to its future performance.
Where necessary, certain comparative information has been updated to conform with the current year’s presentation.
3.
Material Accounting Policy Information
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of NZ IFRS, the Board and management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the
recognition and carrying values of assets and liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions used to determine the carrying values of
assets and liabilities are based on experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, however actual
results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in
which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
The critical judgements, estimates and assumptions made in the current period are contained in the following notes:

4. Internalisation transaction
On 10 November 2025 the Group entered various agreements ("Internalisation Transactions") with Northwest to:
•Relinquish Northwest’s management rights by retiring as manager of Vital;
•Provide certain development consulting services for up to 6 years in connection with Northwest’s Galaxy fund;
•Acquire, for net asset value, Northwest entities established to facilitate Vital’s on-going internalised management (holders of the required
regulatory licences, employees and operating contracts); and
•Provide and receive certain transitional services for a period of up to 2 years (subject to two six-month extension options).
The Internalisation Transactions were financed by a $190.0m placement at an issue price of $1.95 per unit and a $45.0m unit purchase
plan at an issue price of $1.9124 per unit.
On 31 December 2025 the internalisation of management and associated transactions completed.
(4.a)
Management rights relinquishment
The relinquishment of the management arrangements terminates a pre-existing arrangement between Vital and Northwest, cancelling future
fee obligations.
Of the $214m total consideration paid by Vital to Northwest, $209m (subject to an adjustment, capped at $5.0m, if the IRD determines
through the private binding ruling (submitted and currently under review) that it is not fully tax deductible), plus transaction costs, has been
expensed to the statement of comprehensive income with the balance allocated to the acquisition of a Contract Asset (refer below). The
details associated with the management rights relinquishment transaction are set out as follows:

(4.b) Contract Asset - Development consulting services
Northwest has contracted the Group to provide development management services (to the extent mutually agreed) to Northwest’s Galaxy
portfolio for a term of up to 6 years, guaranteeing a minimum fee (including margin) of A$5.1m for these services. The consideration paid to
secure the contract has been determined to be $5.0m.
Judgement was involved in determining that this arrangement is a Contract Asset.
Recognition and measurement
Contract Assets are recorded initially at fair value and subsequently at their initial value less accumulated amortisation that is recognised
over the term of the contact as service revenue is recognised.
INTERIM REPORT 2026|27
(4.c) Acquisition of subsidiaries (Business Combination)
Vital was paid to acquire the entities associated with it's on-going internalised management for their net asset deficiency value of $3.2m
as a business combination. Judgement was involved in determining whether some or all of these acquisitions met the definition of a
business combination.
The following table summarises the provisional fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Net cash from investing activities6,417
Recognition and measurement
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method.
The consideration received is measured at its fair value. The net assets/liabilities acquired is measured as the sum of the fair values
of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed by the Group on the acquisition date, except that deferred tax balances and
employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with their relevant accounting standards.
Acquisition related costs are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.
If the fair value of consideration exchanged exceeds the sum of the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, goodwill is
recognised. If the sum of the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired exceeds the fair value of consideration exchanged, the
excess is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income as a bargain purchase gain.
(4.d)
Transitional Services
Northwest and the Group agreed to provide or procure transitional services for agreed fees to each other for a period of up to 2 years
(subject to two six-month extensions exercisable by the recipient of the service). Northwest will provide Information Technology and Human
Resources support to Vital and Vital will provide Australian Financial Service Licence compliance and treasury services to Northwest.

Significant estimates and judgements
Significant estimates and judgements made in the determination of current and deferred tax include:
•Deferred tax on depreciation: Deferred tax is provided for in respect of New Zealand properties for the depreciation expected to be
recovered on the sale of investment property.
•Deferred tax on changes in fair value of investment properties: Deferred tax for Australian properties is provided on the capital gain that
is expected to be assessable on the land and building component from the sale of investment properties at fair value. The tax rate used
when measuring the deferred tax position for Australian properties is either 15% (FDR method which applies the Australian 'fund payment'
withholding tax rate) or 28% (Attributed FIF method which applies the New Zealand tax rate) based on the Group's actual FIF income
attribution method election and/or its intention to 'opt-in' to the FDR method.
•Deferred tax on fixtures and fittings: It is assumed that all fixtures and fittings will be sold at their tax book value.
•Deferred tax positions are based on an estimated split between land and buildings as determined by registered valuers.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets totalling $12.2m (30 June 2025: $10.3m) relating to Australian denied debt deductions have not been recognised.
These tax losses can be carried forward and utilised for 15 years from the date incurred subject to specific conditions.
Uncertain tax positions
The recognition and measurement of current and deferred tax has considered the following uncertain tax positions:
•The current and deferred tax consequences of the payment made to Northwest to retire as Manager of Vital has been recognised as if
the payment is fully tax deductible. A private binding ruling has been sought from Inland Revenue seeking confirmation of this treatment
but currently remains outstanding.
•The Group is in the process of revising tax depreciation claims in relation to the financial years ended 30 June 2021 and 2022 in relation
to Australian and New Zealand investment properties. This tax depreciation and therefore current tax benefit has not been recorded as
the required tax return amendments / positions are subject to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue’s discretion or determination, which
has currently been assessed as not probable.

Recognition and Measurement
Valuation process
The purpose of the valuation process is to ensure that investment properties are held at fair value. In accordance with the Group's valuation
policy, external valuations are performed by independent professionally qualified valuers who hold a recognised and relevant professional
qualification and have specialised expertise in the type of investment property being valued. The valuation policy requires that a valuer
may not value the same property for more than two consecutive valuations. All valuations are reviewed by the Manager and approved by
the Board.
The fair value of investment property as at 31 December 2025 was determined through independent professional valuers for approximately
36% of the income producing portfolio by value (30 June 2025: 64%) and the remainder was determined by the Manager. The Manager's
valuations were informed by market data and valuation advice provided by independent valuers, comparable transactional evidence and
current period leasing activities. The valuers of properties which have been independently valued at 31 December 2025 included: Absolute
Value, Ernst & Young, CBRE New Zealand, Colliers International, Cushman & Wakefield, Jones Lang LaSalle Australia and New Zealand,
Savills Australia and Valued Care. The properties which have been independently valued at 31 December 2025 are disclosed above in
note 7.d.
The methods used for assessing the fair value of investment property are the Direct Comparison, Discounted Cash Flow (using a risk adjusted
discount rate), Capitalisation of Contract and Market Income approaches and are unchanged from the prior year. The principal factors
that influence a valuation include the market capitalisation / discount rates, occupancy, market rent assessments and the weighted average
lease term to expiry (WALE).
Fair Value Hierarchy
Investment properties are classified as Level 3 under the fair value valuation hierarchy.
Significant
estimates and judgements
Generally, as:
•occupancy and weighted average lease term to expiry increase, yields firm, resulting in increased fair values for investment properties
and vice versa;
•capitalisation rates and discount rates used in the valuation approaches decrease (firm), the fair value of the investment property will
increase, and vice versa.

Recognition and measurement
Basic and diluted earnings per unit is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to Unit Holders by the weighted average number of
ordinary units on issue during the reporting period.

10. Distributable Income
Statutory profit attributable to Unit Holders is determined in accordance with NZ GAAP and includes a number of non-cash items including
fair value movements, straight-line lease accounting adjustments, amortisation of borrowing costs, leasing costs and tenant incentives.
The Manager uses Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) and AFFO per unit as the Group's key performance metric, representative of
the Group's underlying performance, and as a guide to informing the Group's distribution policy. AFFO adjusts statutory profit attributable
to Unit Holders for certain items that are non-cash, unrealised, capital in nature or are one-off or non-recurring (i.e. outside the Group's
ordinary operations or not reflective of its underlying performance). As AFFO is a non GAAP measure it may not be directly comparable
with other entities.
A reconciliation of statutory profit attributable to Unit Holders to AFFO and AFFO per unit is outlined as follows:

Recognition and measurement
Interest rate derivatives are categorised as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and are initially recognised and
subsequently measured at fair value derived from counterparty bank valuations. Counterparty bank valuations are tested for reasonableness
by discounting the estimated future cashflows and using market interest rates for a substitute instrument at the measurement date. The resulting
gain or loss is recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as hedge accounting has not been applied.

Recognition and measurement
Foreign exchange contract derivatives are categorised as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and are initially
recognised and subsequently measured at fair value derived from counterparty bank valuations. Counterparty bank valuations are tested
for reasonableness by using a valuation model based on the applicable forward price curves derived from observable forward prices.
As hedge accounting has not been applied any resulting gain or loss is recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income.
INTERIM REPORT 2026|43
(12.c) Fair value hierarchy
The Group has determined that interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contract derivatives are Level 2 fair value measurement
instruments, that are measured using observable prices of similar instruments. There have been no reclassifications between levels in the
current period (2025: nil).
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Other than the contractual obligations disclosed in Note 7.e and Note13.a, there are no other commitments and contingencies in effect at
the reporting date (2025: nil).
(13.a) NZX Bank Bond
As a condition of listing on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX), NZX requires all issuers to provide a bank bond to NZX under
NZX/DX Listing Rule 1.23.2. The bank bond required by the Trust for listing on the NZX is $75,000.
(13.b)
Other Contingent Liabilities
The Australian Federal Government has legislated to clarify uncertainty associated with State property taxes and double tax treaty
agreements. The legislation applies retrospectively from 1 January 2018. There remains uncertainty in respect to how each state
government will apply this legislation and accordingly there may be an impact on the Group's position in respect to absentee / foreign
owner surcharges.

•On 19 February 2026 a cash distribution of 2.4375 cents per unit was announced by the Trust. The Record Date for the final distribution is
26 February 2026, and payment is scheduled to be made to Unit Holders on 12 March 2026. No imputation credits will be attached to
the distribution.
16. Related Party Transactions
Effective from 31 December 2025 the management of Vital has been internalised and will be performed by Vital Healthcare Properties
Management Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group.
For the period up until 31 December 2025, Vital was managed by Northwest Healthcare Properties Management Limited (the "Manager"),
a wholly owned subsidiary of NWI Healthcare Properties LP (NWIHLP).
The ultimate parent of NWIHLP is Toronto listed Northwest Healthcare Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (NW REIT) that, as at reporting
date, holds a 23.9% (2025: 28.3%) interest in Vital. NW REIT and its controlled entities (including the Manager) are considered related
parties to Vital and its controlled entities by virtue of common ownership and/or directorships.
Other related parties by virtue of common ownership and/or ownership and/or directorship to the Manager of Vital include Australian
Properties Limited and Northwest Healthcare Australian Property Limited.
For the period to 31 December 2025 the external management fee regime outlined below applied. From 31 December 2025 these
arrangements ceased.
Remuneration of the Manager
Vital paid fees to the Manager in accordance with the Trust Deed, with capitalised terms being defined terms in the Trust Deed. The
aggregate of Base Fees, Incentive Fees and Activity Fees was capped at 1.75% per annum of Vital's Gross Asset Value (GAV) as at the end
of a financial year.
Fee arrangements
In accordance with the Trust Deed, the fee arrangements were as follows:
Base Fee
The Base Fee structure is as follows:
•65 bps per annum up to $1bn of GAV:
•55 bps per annum from $1bn to $2bn of GAV;
•45 bps per annum from $2bn to $3bn of GAV; and
•40 bps per annum over $3bn of GAV.
Incentive Fee
The Incentive Fee was determined as 10% of the average annual increase in Vital’s Net Tangible Assets (NTA) (as defined by the Trust
Deed) over the respective Financial Year and the two preceding Financial Years, with payment being made by way of subscribing for new
units. The incentive fee calculations were also subject to a "three year High Watermark Net Tangible Asset” requirement, such that for the
purpose of determining the increase in NTA for a Financial Year, the annual NTA increase for that Financial Year will reduce to zero if the
actual NTA does not exceed the High Watermark Net Tangible Asset requirement.
Activity Fees
The Activity Fee structure is as follows:
INTERIM REPORT 2026|45
a. Leases or licences
Vital paid the Manager leasing or licence fees where the Manager negotiated leases or licences. The fees were charged at 11% of the
aggregate annual rental for terms less than 3 years, 12% of the aggregate annual rental for terms of 3 years, and 12% plus an additional 1%
pro-rata for each year or part thereof for terms greater than three years (to a maximum of 20%), subject to a minimum fee of $2,500.
Lease or licence renewals were charged at 50% of a new lease or licence fee.
Leasing or licence fees were capitalised to the respective investment or property in the consolidated statement of financial position and
amortised over the term of the lease.
b. Property management
Vital paid the Manager property management fees where the Manager acted as the property manager. These fees were charged at 1%
- 2% of gross income depending on the number of tenants at the property and may have been recovered from tenants if permitted under
lease agreements.
Property management fees, net of recoveries from tenants, were expensed through the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in
the year in which they arise.
c. Facilities management
Vital paid the Manager a facilities management fee where the Manager acted as a property facilities manager based on the market rate
(referenced to a reputable and high-quality third party service provider) for similar services at similar properties. This fee may have been
recovered from tenants if permitted under lease agreements.
Facilities management fees were expensed, net of recoveries from tenants, through the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in
the year in which they arise.
d. Project management
Vital paid project management fees to the Manager for managing capital expenditure projects where the purpose of the project was to
upgrade, repair or otherwise extend the life of the property, including via the replacement or repair of major plant and equipment, structural
items and building envelope.
Project management fees for projects with a budget of between $0.2m and $2.5m were 2% of the committed spend where the Manager
is the project lead and 1% of committed spend where the Manager has an oversight role, increasing to 4% and 2% respectively for projects
with a budget greater than $2.5m.
Project management fees were capitalised to the respective investment or property in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Additional Costs
The Additional Costs structure was as follows:
a. Acquisitions
Vital paid fees to the Manager for managing the due diligence, financing, legal aspects and settlement of the purchase of an investment or
property instead of, or alongside, a third party agent. These fees were charged at 1.5% of the capitalised cost of the relevant investment or
property, being the contracted price payable, excluding any deductions netted off the settlement price (such as rates), together with other
related capitalised acquisition costs.
Acquisition fees were capitalised to the respective investment or property in the consolidated statement of financial position.
b. Disposals
Vital paid fees to the Manager for managing the due diligence, legal aspects and settlement of the sale of an investment or property
instead of, or alongside, a third party agent. These fees were charged at 1% of the contracted sale price of the relevant investment or
property actually received, provided that, if a third party agent was engaged to provide services for the disposal, then the fee payable to
the Manager would be net of the third party agent’s costs and commissions.
46|VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST
Disposal fees were expensed through the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year in which they arise.
c. Development Management
Vital paid fees where the Manager acts as a development manager on Vital developments. These fees were charged at 4% of the
committed spend (excluding land) approved by the Board of the Manager provided that, if a third party agent was engaged to provide
development management services, then the fee payable to the Manager was reduced by the non-rentalisable third party costs paid.
Development management fees were capitalised to the respective property in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Other amounts
In accordance with the Trust Deed, the Manager was permitted to engage related parties to provide services to the Trust. The provision of
these services was subject to compliance with the restrictions on related party transactions in the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

48|VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST
Other Related Parties
a. RDX
On 30 December 2022 the Group entered into an agreement with Northwest Healthcare Australia RE Limited as trustee for Northwest
Healthcare Australia Lumina Trust (Lumina) under which Vital purchased the land at 15 Nexus Way, Southport, Queensland Australia (Land)
to facilitate the development of a new state of the art, 6-Star Green Star health, research and innovation building to be known as “RDX”.
Consideration paid, based on an independent valuation by Jones Lang LaSalle of the Land, totalled A$6.9m, including A$4.3m payable
to Lumina.
In conjunction with the purchase of the Land:
•Lumina agreed to guarantee the net operating income of RDX will not be less than A$3.712m for the 12 months from practical completion
of RDX; and
•the Group has agreed to pay Lumina 50% of the actual net operating income in excess of A$3.712m plus 50% of any outperformance
against the leasing assumptions, capped at A$2.0m.
On 31 December 2025 Lumina prepaid A$4.677m in respect to its forecast RDX net operating income guarantee obligation. The final
amount payable will be subject to a 'true up' adjustment based on the actual net operating income of RDX for the 12 month period post
practical completion.
b. Internalisation of Management
On 10 November 2025 the Group entered various agreements ("Internalisation Transactions") with Northwest to:
•Relinquish Northwest’s management rights by Northwest retiring as Manager of Vital;
•Provide certain development consulting services to Northwest for up to 6 years in connection with Northwest’s Galaxy fund;
•Acquire, for net asset value, Northwest entities established to facilitate Vital’s on-going internalised management (holders of the required
regulatory licences, employees and operating contracts); and
•Provide and receive certain transitional services for a period of up to 2 years (subject to two six-month extension options).
On 31 December 2025 the Internalisation Transactions settled, with Vital paying Northwest $210.5m, being $214m for Northwest to retire
as Manager of Vital and secure the development consulting services contract, adjusted for the estimated net asset deficiency of Northwest
entities acquired. The estimated net asset deficiency is subject to a 'true-up' adjustment which has not yet been determined.
Refer Note 4 for additional details on the Internalisation Transactions.
Other than the above there have been no transactions that occurred during the reporting period or remain outstanding at the reporting date
with other related parties.
Independent Auditor’s Review Report to The Unit Holders of Vital Healthcare Property Trust
Conclusion
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements (‘interim financial statements’) of
Vital Healthcare Property Trust (‘the Trust’) and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’) on pages 20 to 48 which comprise
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, and the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows
for the six months ended on that date, and notes to the interim financial statements, including material
accounting policy information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial
statements of the Trust do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31
December 2025 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six months ended on that date in
accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
Basis for Conclusion
We
conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed
by the Independent Auditor of the Entity
(‘N Z SR E 2410’). Our responsibilities are further described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Interim Financial Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of
Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) (‘PES 1’) as
applicable to audits and reviews of public interest entities. We also have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with PES 1.
Other than in our capacity as auditor, we perfor m other assurance services in relation to the Group’s reporting
pack to the Group’s Parent. We als o carry out other assignments for the Group as independent AGM vote
scrutineer. These services have not impaired our independence as auditor of the Group. The firm has no other
relationship with, or interest in, the Group.
Board of Directors’ responsibilities for the interim financial statements
The Board of Directors of the Manager is responsible on behalf of the Trust for the preparation and fair
presentation of the interim financial statements in accordance with NZ
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and for such internal control as the Board of Directors of the Manager
determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim financial statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE
2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the
interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
A review of the interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement.
We perform procedures, primarily consisting of
making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The procedures performed in a
review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing (New
Zealand) and consequently do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would
become aware of all significant matters that we might identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an
audit opinion on the interim financial statements.
INTERIM REPORT 2026|49
Restriction on use
This report is made solely to the Trust’s unitholders, as a body. Our review has been undertaken so that we might
state to the Trust’s unitholders those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and for no other
purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than
the Trust’s unitholders as a body, for our engagement, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
