Radius Clears Short-Term Debt, Intends to Resume Dividends
Radius Care (NZX: RAD) completed on 28 March 2024 a refinancing with ASB of its remaining
short-term borrowings. These non-bank facilities were originally drawn to finance the purchase
of Matamata Country Lodge.
Following the refinancing, 100% of Radius Care’s bank facilities are held with ASB and have a
weighted average tenure of 2.8 years, with maturity dates ranging from 1 November 2026 to 6
May 2027. The refinancing will result in financing cost savings of approximately $1m a year.
Brien Cree, Executive Chair, said “Radius Care is completing the 2024 financial year in a strong
position to accelerate our growth strategy. We have no short-term debt and the previously
announced completion of the Arran Court sale materially reduced debt levels.”
Radius Care confirms the previously-provided outlook for FY24. The improved operating results
and momentum seen in the first half of FY24 will be reflected in Radius Care’s full year results due
to be released on 27 May 2024.
As previously signalled, as the debt management program is now completed, the Board intends
to resume dividend payments, and expects to declare a dividend in respect of FY24.
