Third Age Health Releases FY26 Preliminary Unaudited Result
FY26 Annual Letter to Shareholders
May 2026
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
This year marks 15 years since Third Age Health was founded. It all began with a simple
conversation: Founder, Bevan Walsh, listened to a potential customer describe a real-world
problem in aged care and took immediate action to solve it. That act of listening and doing
created the foundation for the company you own today.
That same mindset of noticing what isn't working for customers and taking ownership to
resolve it remains our core operating philosophy, or as we call it, the Third Age Way of
Working (TAWoW). This is our application of Kaizen, focusing on continuous, incremental
improvements driven by the staff closest to the customer, right at gemba, where the actual
work happens.
While our business has always incorporated elements of decentralisation, during the year
we took steps to deepen this by creating two distinct business units, ARC Medical Services
(“ARC”) and Community General Practice (“Community GP”), and establishing dedicated
General Manager roles with the autonomy to lead them, and with incentives tied directly to
their performance.
In our ARC business, this structure has been successful. Niomi Fleming, who initially stepped
into the acting role, has been appointed permanent General Manager. Under her leadership,
this business has executed with strong discipline and a sharp focus on delighting customers.
Our Community GP business has been more difficult. As the patient numbers will show, we
continued to lose ground. This underperformance required leadership changes to ensure we
have management in place with the urgency required to stabilise operations.
Financial Performance
Our financial results reflect a business that, despite several challenges, has retained
operating leverage. For the full year, Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) rose by 24.7% to $3.091
million YOY, and underlying NPATA increased by 25.9% to $3,634 million.
Our ARC business delivered meaningful gains in both revenue and profit. Revenue rose by
27% to $14.921 million, and our enrolled patient base in this division grew to 7,138.
However, margin in this business declined slightly this year as we prioritised delivering high-
quality care in the face of workforce shortages. That margin compression was a deliberate
choice. We incurred additional expense to secure clinical coverage, workforce recruitment,
development, and digital enablement, choosing to trade a short-term margin percentage for
long-term durability.
Revenue in our Community GP business rose slightly by 3.2% to $7.567 million, and overall
profitability improved. However, our enrolled patient numbers declined by 4.8% to 19,383
YOY. This decline was driven by doctor departures and clinical vacancies. Operating with
fewer doctors than needed temporarily reduces wage costs but earnings resulting from this
are unsustainable. While those specific vacancies have now been filled, we are not satisfied
with a shrinking patient roster. We are expending all efforts to remedy this and every choice
we make is evaluated through the lens of maximising intrinsic value per share.
Operating Environment
While the underlying demand for aged residential care and primary care continues to grow,
driven by an ageing population and the increasing complexity of care patients require, the
broader system is struggling to keep up.
As we wrote last year, the impact of workforce shortages, funding constraints, and increasing
administrative demands was intensifying, and we did not expect that pressure to ease in the
short term. It has not. Our primary operational risk remains the supply of clinical talent. The
sector-wide shortage of practitioners is acute, bringing with it all the inevitable operational
consequences. Although we have managed to navigate these shortages and fill our vacancies
to date, failing to do so in the future would directly lead to a loss of business.
Beyond staffing constraints, the daily social reality of operating Community GP facilities is
complex. We experienced this firsthand this year at our Belmont Medical Centre practice.
Belmont was a very small practice we had acquired. Recently, incidents with disruptive
patients made our small team there feel unsafe. This highlighted a real vulnerability for us. A
very small practice lacks the safety in numbers that you get at a much larger practice. We
have an absolute obligation to keep our team and patients safe, but the economics of hiring
permanent security simply did not work.
Faced with an unsafe environment and a fix that made no financial sense, we took
immediate action to close the physical Belmont site and merge it into our larger Devonport
practice. This gave our staff the security of a larger team. While the transition inevitably
resulted in some patient attrition, it was a necessary decision. It also served as a clear
reminder of the operational fragility of acquiring very small practices. This situation
highlights one of the reasons why we do not allocate capital to acquiring additional
community practices.
Capital Allocation and Quality Shareholders
We think and act like owners because we are. Most of our directors hold meaningful stakes
in the company. For some of us, including myself, this represents a significant commitment
of our personal net worth, alongside the capital of our friends and family. This, along with
our very long time horizon, significantly influences how we think about allocating capital and
diversifying the earnings power of the company.
Over the past year, the quoted price of our shares has been volatile, swinging between
roughly $2.50 and $7.50. Neither of these prices was a realistic assessment of per-share
intrinsic value. Our strong preference is for our shares to trade in a tight range around
intrinsic value. This is because we would like exiting partners to receive, and new partners to
pay, a fair price for their shares. We do not have a "higher is better" attitude, and our focus
will always be on maximising the average annual rate of increase in intrinsic value per share.
While we cannot control the share price, we aim to influence it by attracting quality
shareholders who focus on long-term progress in intrinsic value, rather than short-term
share price movements. These shareholders are aligned with the kind of decisions we make
and the multi-decade period we are aiming to compound per-share value over, and we are
pleased to have had several more choose to partner with us.
In terms of deploying capital today, apart from investments in improving services to our
customers, our bias is heavily weighted toward acquiring good businesses that we
understand, at satisfactory returns on capital. As we detailed in our half-year report, we
successfully executed on this by acquiring ARC Health and Cicada Health, two businesses
that fit perfectly within our core ARC platform. We continue to work on additional
acquisitions in this space.
Also, over the year, we engaged with a number of potential acquisition targets outside of
healthcare, including services businesses in the life safety, compliance, and maintenance,
repair, and operations sectors. In some instances, our discussions advanced to the point of
submitting term sheets; however, none of these came to fruition as ultimately, they did not
satisfy all our criteria.
Outlook
We expect the operating environment to remain difficult. Workforce shortages and cost
pressures are a fact of life, and we are not expecting any near-term relief.
Our priority for FY27 is to build upon the progress made in FY26 by doing the things that are
within our control. We will continue to sharpen our operational discipline through TAWoW,
invest in delighting our customers and supporting our frontline clinical teams, while
remaining frugal.
Alongside this operational focus, our search for good businesses to acquire continues with
energy. We are looking for businesses that provide mission critical services or products, with
recurring and predictable revenue, a demonstrated ability to generate free cash flow and
earn returns on tangible capital in line with our expectations. If you know of a high-quality
business that meets these standards, or if you are a founder looking for a safe home for your
business, please reach out to us.
Acknowledgements
None of our progress is possible without the commitment of our people. I want to thank our
clinical, operational, and management teams for their dedication this year, particularly in a
challenging environment.
I also want to thank our customers for their continued partnership. Finally, thank you to you,
our shareholders. Our goal is to be good stewards of the capital you have entrusted us with.
Sincerely,
John Fernandes
Executive Chairman

For the year ended 31 March 2026
1. Reporting entity
These Consolidated Financial Statements are for Third Age Health Services Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). The
Parent is incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand and registered under the Companies Act 1993. The parent’s shares
are publicly traded on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) and are listed on the main board of the NZX. The principal
trading activity of the Group is the provision of medical services to the aged care sector. Those companies included in the

9. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, excluding treasury shares.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account
the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and the
weighted average number of ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares.

12.1 Acquisition
On 1 September 2025 Third Age Health Services Limited acquired an 80% share of ARC Health Limited (ARC Health), a
Canterbury based primary care provider to aged residential care facilities. In addition, on 1 September 2025 Third Age
Health Services Limited acquired a 70% share of Cicada Health Limited (Cicada), a Tauranga based primary care provider to
aged residential care facilities. The acquisitions support Third Age Health Services Limited’s future growth strategy in the
Canterbury and Tauranga regions, an essential part of expanding our national coverage and continuing to develop the
model of healthcare for older people.
The complete results of the companies since their acquisition have been included in these Consolidated Financial
Statements for the period ended 31 March 2026, contributing $995k (Cicada) and $902k (ARC Health) to Group revenues
and $287k (Cicada) and $430k (ARC Health) to Group EBITDA for the seven months. Prior to acquisition, these businesses
operated on a cash accounting basis. Therefore, owing to a lack of comparable IFRS-specific data, a pro-forma profit or loss
information of the combined entities for FY26 is not provided.

ARC Health Limited (ARC Health)
For ARC Health total nominal consideration transferred or to be transferred to the vendors is as follows:
• $820,281 in cash paid on 1 September 2025.
• $47,530 in cash to be paid as a working capital adjustment.
• $280,000 in deferred contingent consideration considered payable on 1 September 2026, if certain conditions
are met (discussed below).
The $280,000 in total deferred contingent consideration is payable to the vendors if the following conditions are met:
o The patient numbers after 12 months are the same or greater than the forecast confirmed and agreed by
the parties.
o EBIT is greater than the normalised EBIT agreed during due diligence.
Third Age Health Services Limited
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2026
The fair value of the deferred consideration under IFRS 13 has been calculated using a net present value calculation at an
appropriate discount rate. No risk portion calculation is deemed necessary. The fair value of the $280,000 deferred
contingent consideration is $233,997. The total difference of $46,003 interest expense is recorded over one year and
expensed monthly until 1 September 2026.
The total fair value of all consideration is $1,101,808.
The $820,281 cash paid was fully financed through working capital of the Group.
The expenses relating to the acquisition of ARC Health are the following:
• $24,159 in legal fees have been included in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income
• $46,003 in interest costs over 12 months from discounting the contingent consideration payable 1 September
2025 to fair value at acquisition date. $3,834 in interest costs have been included in the Unaudited Consolidated
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
At acquisition date the company held trade receivables with a book and fair value of $110,798. All contracted cash flows
were expected to be collected on all receivables and no bad debts were recorded.
An assessment of goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit
may be impaired. The goodwill recognised will not be deductible for tax purposes.
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the
fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets at the time of acquisition. Management has used its past
established experience of sales growth and synergistic savings to determine their expectations for the future. The goodwill
incorporates the expected synergies from local knowledge and contacts with our national know-how and proven best
practice. Deferred tax liability of 28% on intangible assets is calculated at the time of acquisition, the minority interest
portion is considered immaterial.
The value of the NCI is based on the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired based on the portion of net identifiable
assets owned by the NCI.
With this method, we have included the intangibles recognised on consolidation which cannot be recognised in the
separate financial statements (PHO Contract and Customer Relationships). The total NCI of $150,711 is made up on the
following:
• 20% of the book value of all the net balance sheet assets as at 30 September 2025 (20% of $113,884)
• 20% of the customer relationships calculated above (20% of $617,175)
• 20% of the PHO contract calculated above (20% of $271,255)
• 20% of deferred tax liability on intangibles (20% of ($248,760))
Cicada Health Limited (Cicada)
For Cicada total nominal consideration transferred or to be transferred to the vendors is as follows:
• $607,150 in cash paid on 1 September 2025.
• $6,486 of cash to be paid as a working capital adjustment being 100% of net August receivables collected after
acquisition date per the sale and purchase agreement. This was adjusted down because of an existing liability to
the minority partners.
• $218,750 in deferred contingent consideration considered payable on 1 September 2026, if certain conditions
are met (discussed below).

Hub Aged Care Limited
On 1 April 2024, a 70% share of Hub Aged Care Limited was acquired including deferred consideration payable one year
later. In April 2025 it was deemed that the performance metrics required for a full payout in the deferred consideration for
the acquisition of Hub Aged Care Limited had been reached as per the sale and purchase agreement. A $130k payment was
made in April 2025 to the vendor consistent with our reporting in our audited consolidated annual financial statements for
the year ending 31 March 2025.

For a detailed commentary on the performance for the period
please refer to the attached market announcement and
Preliminary Report. The NTA is negative due to a large
proportion of our assets being intangible assets, notably goodwill
from acquisitions which are excluded in calculated tangible
assets. Further impacted by IFRS16 adjustments for RoU
assets and lease liabilities combined with a bank loan facility
drawn to fund acquisitions, increasing total liabilities. The
movement in our NTA from 31 March 25 relates to two
acquisitions which have increased intangibles and goodwill.

Executive Remuneration
John Fernandes was appointed Executive Chairman effective from 13 October 2025. As a
consequence, John ceased to be an independent director at that time.
John had requested that any remuneration relating to his executive responsibilities be fully
variable and tied to drivers of value creation. The non-conflicted directors acknowledged
this intent but preferred a base pay component to ensure the arrangement was
commercially sustainable in the long run. Consequently, a base fee of $120,000 per annum
payable in monthly instalments, plus a fully variable and at-risk incentive fee, was agreed.
The incentive fee is calculated as: Base Fee x Company Performance Factor x Individual
Factor, and is pro-rated in the first year.
The Company Performance Factor is determined by reference to the sum of Revenue
Growth and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC). A "risk-free" rate of return of 5% is
subtracted from the ROIC component.
The Individual Factor (IF) is determined by the non-conflicted directors of the Company
after taking into account the executive's responsibilities, skills, and the performance and
size of the company.
Any incentive fee is payable within 30 days of finalisation of the Company’s audited annual
results.
For the period from 13 October 2025 to 31 March 2026, John was paid a pro-rata base fee
of $56,307.69 and the non-conflicted directors determined a pro-rata incentive fee of
$69,631.12.
John has committed to reinvest at least 50% of any after-tax incentive payment into the
Company's shares. This is subject to the availability of shares to purchase on-market,
compliance with the Company's trading policies, and any other legal requirements. These
shares must be held for a minimum of four years unless otherwise agreed by the
Company.
John and the Company have also negotiated reciprocal termination rights on 12 months’
notice.
Other Executives
Similar remuneration principles and requirements apply to the General Managers of the
Company's business units and to other senior team members from FY27 onwards. These
requirements include reinvesting a percentage of any after-tax incentive payment in the
Company's shares and observing a minimum holding period.
