Update on divestments
Oceania Healthcare Limited (NZX/ASX: OCA) provides an update on its divestment
programme, now expecting to complete six divestments totalling approximately $50 million
by 31 March 2026.
The divestments exceed prior targets for both quantum and timing. Oceania’s strategy has
been to modernise its portfolio and focus on profitable integrated villages with a mix of both
aged care and retirement units.
The transactions are well advanced, with sale and purchase agreements in place with
multiple counterparties, regulatory approvals progressing and settlement dates scheduled
for March 2026. Proceeds will be used to reduce net debt. All sites have sold at or around
carrying value and together have contributed less than $5 million of underlying earnings in
FY26. The divested sites comprise non core or mature assets, aligned with the company’s
strategy to simplify the portfolio and redeploy capital.
CEO Suzanne Dvorak said, “We are continuing to improve our strategic execution, with the
team now delivering an excellent outcome from the divestment programme. We were
targeting four divestments for around $40 million during FY26 and we have now achieved
our 18-month objective of six divestments for $50 million within six months. This is a decisive
outcome and positions Oceania well as we enter FY27.”
The divested villages are Ohinemuri (Paeroa), Whitianga, Te Mana (Auckland), Elmswood
(Tauranga), and Eldon and Hutt Gables (Wellington), together comprising 299 care beds, 46
independent living units (ILUs) and 14 care suites.
Importantly, the divested villages have been acquired by reputable operators who share
Oceania’s long-term commitment to quality care and community outcomes. These buyers
see enduring value in the assets and have clear plans to continue investing in the villages,
providing confidence that residents and team members will remain well supported through
the transition and into the future.
