NZX & ASX RELEASE
4 May 2026
SUMMERSET GROUP HOLDINGS INVESTOR DAY PRESENTATION
Summerset Group Holdings has released its Investor Day presentation to the NZX. The Investor
Day was held at its first Australian village, Cranbourne North, on Friday 1 May to enable
investors to view Summerset’s first main building in Australia, see Cranbourne North’s progress,
and review progress on the Chirnside Park and Oakleigh South sites.
The Investor Day presentation is attached.
As part of the presentation to investors, Summerset management provided a performance
update on what the company is seeing following the conflict in the Middle East beginning at the
end of February.
Summerset CEO Scott Scoullar reported that its overall sales contracting levels remain
consistent since before the Middle East crisis began.
“The mix between new sales and resales has shifted slightly in favour of new sales, with weekly
average new sales up one unit and weekly resales down one unit.
“This shift in part reflects our current mix of stock with new unit deliveries being weighted to Q1
with the opening of our Cranbourne North, Waikanae and Whangarei villages’ main buildings. Of
our 750-850 build rate guidance (across New Zealand and Australia), we’ve delivered
approximately 420 units this year already.
“Uncontracted resale stock has continued to track down since December 2025 and is now at
2.4% of the portfolio.”
The presentation also addressed the cost inflation impacts the company is seeing following the
escalation in fuel prices.
“Our construction activity is well-protected through procurement and contracting in place for
most of this year’s work programme, though we have seen some minor cost escalation across
recent tenders for future works,” said Mr Scoullar.
“Recent construction tendering has shown price escalations of about 1.3% equating to around
$1.9 million across the tenders. Civils and earthworks are the areas with the most cost inflation
at 2.4%.
“We have also seen some operational cost increases which are up about 6%, most notably in
food and medical supplies. This equates to an annualised increase of approximately $1 million,
which remains relatively small in the context of our overall cost base.
“At this early stage we’re proactively managing our contracts with our suppliers as we see how
fuel prices play out.”
Summerset’s presentation also referenced the levers the company has in place should
economic conditions deteriorate and impact the company’s sales in the long-term.
“We have a number of options to protect our balance sheet, but currently we’re not seeing any
significant change. We’re staying flexible and well prepared should things evolve.”

Who we are
Agenda CEO welcome Australia Business Update Australia Sales Update
▪Summerset builds and owns integrated retirement villages in
Australia and New Zealand
▪We focus on broad acre, easily stageable village development
▪Residents generally enter a Summerset village in their late 70’s
meaning villages do not directly compete with lifestyle offerings
▪Australian business follows a similar model to Summerset in New
Zealand, a resident purchases an occupation right and pays a
deferred management fee (DMF) - based off ingoing sales price
▪Generate financial returns from village development and the
ongoing operations of villages once units are delivered
▪Ongoing cash flows are earned from weekly fees, care fees, DMF
and resale gains (Summerset retaining 100%)
▪Villages provide a continuum of care – something that is a clear
point of difference in Australia
▪Residents are attracted to Summerset because of the community
and social environment, and certainty of care if they need it
