Letter from
our Chair
Dean Hamilton
Chair
Welcome to our 2025 Annual Report
The past year has seen significant change for Ryman.
The Board recognised the need for a more disciplined,
transparent and resilient business, to materially improve
our operating performance whilst continuing to deliver
great care for our residents. We have been focussed on
resetting our business in order to provide a foundation
to deliver improved returns for shareholders.
40 years of Ryman
Ryman celebrated a special anniversary in September
2024, marking 40 years since our founders Kevin Hickman
and John Ryder set out to create retirement living and
aged care that is ‘good enough for Mum and Dad’. Sadly,
just before this anniversary, Kevin passed away, leaving
an incredible legacy that
he and his family can be proud
of, offering world-leading
care to ageing New Zealanders
and Australians.
Navigating a challenging environment
The operating environment remained difficult throughout
the financial year, shaped by a subdued property market,
increases in operating costs such as rates, insurance
and electricity, high interest rates, increased competition
with elevated industry stock levels, and continued
underfunding of aged care in New Zealand.
We have responded through a reset of our governance and
management, financial reporting, operational performance,
approach to development and our capital structure, all as
part of our transformation programme.
Strong foundations for transformation –
Governance, Board and Executive changes
The Board appointed new leadership to drive
transformation and performance, including a new
Senior Executive Team (SET), alongside a substantial
Board renewal since June 2023.
We were delighted to appoint Naomi James as CEO,
commencing in November 2024. Following a period
of handover, I stepped down as Executive Chair on
29 November 2024 and moved back to my role of
Board Chair.
Naomi brings extensive trans-Tasman commercial
experience through previous senior leadership roles.
She was most recently the CEO of NZX-listed Channel
Infrastructure where she successfully led a significant
change programme of both the company and the
New Zealand fuel industry with a complex stakeholder
environment involving government, customers, over
1,000 employees and contractors, local community, iwi,
investors and lenders.
Our executive team was reduced from nine to six with
a new structure based on functional responsibilities
(previously a regional structure with regional leadership).
We also appointed a new executive team role, Chief
Strategy and Corporate Development Officer
focussed
on transformation, portfolio optimisation and disciplined
growth, bringing the executive team to seven.
As part of our Board changes, we appointed Scott Pritchard
as an independent director from 1 November 2024, bringing
significant property development and company leadership
experience as CEO of Precinct Properties.
Claire Higgins stepped down on 31 December 2024,
and Anthony Leighs has advised of his intention to step
down at this year’s Annual Shareholder Meeting on
30 July 2025. We thank both Claire and Anthony for their
contribution to Ryman.

Resetting our financial reporting
In late 2023, we embarked on a process to review our
financial reporting to enhance the transparency of
our results and ensure greater comparability with others
in the sector.
This extensive Board-led review is now complete and
has seen Ryman adopt a more conservative
stance
on revenue recognition, removing director judgement
from asset valuations, adopting a more conservative
approach to cost capitalisation, increasing transparency
of performance and improving the comparability of our
accounts to others in the sector.
In addition, we have written down the value of our
intangible assets as they relate to an expected shorter
life for our internally generated systems and applications,
and have moved to align with the industry and not
account for deferred tax assets (primarily tax accumulated
losses) above our deferred tax liabilities.
The impact of these changes has been significant on
our financial accounts for the last two financial years.
While it has been challenging to work through, and
complex for the reader of our accounts, we believe the
improved transparency and consistency will put us in
a stronger position.
Additionally, recent governance changes include:
• Change of our external auditor to PwC Auckland
in accordance with our revised independence
policy, with PwC undertaking its first audit with the
FY25 accounts;
• A new executive remuneration structure, aligned
with long-term value creation with the long-term
incentive (LTI) component linked to total shareholder
returns; and
• Minimum shareholding requirements over time
for executive team and directors.
Decisive action to reset balance sheet
To provide resilience and flexibility through challenging
market conditions, in March 2025, we successfully
completed a $1 billion equity raise. The new equity
materially reduces our debt levels and provides Ryman
with the time and capacity to achieve an improved
performance through our transformation initiatives
and return to growth as market conditions improve.
The raise was fully underwritten and comprised
a $688 million 1 for 3.05 pro-rata accelerated
non-renounceable entitlement offer and a $313 million
institutional placement.
Net interest-bearing debt has reduced $840 million
to $1,665 million with gearing falling to 28.1%.
We appreciate the support from our retail shareholders
in the face of the challenging market conditions, and
the breadth of support received from both new and
existing institutional shareholders who participated
strongly in the offer.
We acknowledge the impact on existing shareholders
of the raise, which came two years after the $0.9 billion
raise in February 2023. I reiterate the commitment
of the Board and management to deliver greater value
for shareholders.
Dividends remain suspended and we will undertake
a review of our capital management policy, including
the dividend policy, in FY26, noting that any future
dividend policy is expected to be based on cash flow.

Thank you
The Board remains focussed on improving Ryman’s
financial performance and delivering great care and
experience for our residents. These goals need to
coexist. We need to deliver sustainable business
performance and ensure that our business is fit for the
next 40 years to deliver industry leading retirement
living and care for New Zealanders and Australians.
We believe that the changes being made will deliver
improved performance, and the Board is confident
that these changes will deliver a return to more
sustainable value for our residents, team members
and shareholders.
Thank you for your continued support.
Continued delivery
FY25 reflects a record build year for Ryman. We delivered
950 new units and beds, including 301 independent
living units, 290 serviced apartments and 359 aged
care beds, and completed four main buildings, welcoming
residents to Miriam Corban, Keith Park, James Wattie,
and Bert Newton villages. Hubert Opperman in Mulgrave
also opened its first independent townhouses
, bringing
the total number of operational villages to 49: nine in
Victoria and 40 in New Zealand.
At year end, we had over 15,000 residents, a record
number and testament to the Ryman offering. I wish
to thank all of our teams for their ongoing effort and
commitment to providing care that is ‘good enough
for Mum and Dad’.
Financial performance
We fell short of what we wanted to deliver financially
this year. Whilst Naomi will cover this in more detail
on the following pages, we were pleased to deliver a
10% increase in revenue with new villages improving
occupancy and increases in average weekly fees
received for retirement and care beds. However, free
cash flow ended at -$94 million against an initial target of
breakeven, primarily due to slower sales of occupation
rights, compounded by increased buyback payments
for units which remained vacant after six months.
Net tangible asset (NTA) backing was $4.18 per share
at 31 March 2025, a disappointing reduction but reflective
of a more conservative approach to cost capitalisation,
work in progress write-downs on land not the subject
of current construction, an increase in shares outstanding
from the equity raise at $3.05 per share, and changes
to valuation methodology for our care centres.

Letter from
our CEO
Since I commenced as CEO in November 2024, I have
been fortunate enough to visit over half of our villages in
New Zealand and Australia and hear directly from our
team and residents about their experiences.
There are two things I consistently hear: how committed
our people are to caring for every Ryman resident, and how
much our residents value the care, support and connection
they experience living in a Ryman village.
Unlocking the full potential of Ryman
As New Zealand’s leading provider of retirement living and
aged care and with a growing portfolio in Victoria, Ryman
is well positioned for future growth in demand. As ageing
populations in both countries grow, and the gap between
aged care bed supply and demand widens, our model will
become increasingly valuable to the residents we serve,
and to our shareholders.
By pioneering the continuum of care model in New Zealand,
and bringing it to Australia, Ryman’s portfolio offers more
care capacity and capability than any of our retirement
competitors. We offer the security that a move into a
Ryman village will provide our residents with access to the
levels of care they might need.
To achieve a better financial performance, we need to
unlock
the full potential of our existing assets and transform
the way we operate. We are ensuring our business is both
commercially strong, sustainable, and resident focussed
– one that secures our leadership in retirement living and
aged care and continues to give older Kiwis and Australians
choice, support and peace of mind as they grow older.
Following the progress made, with multiple initiatives
across our pricing model, support services and development
activities, and our successful equity raise, we’re entering
the next phase of transformation, driven by an operational
focus across three priorities: releasing cash from the
business, sustainable business improvement, and taking
a disciplined approach to growth.
Our FY25 results
This has been a year of significant reset, which
started before I joined as CEO, and a lot has already
been achieved.
We removed $23 million of annualised costs in the
second half of FY25 and are targeting a doubling of
this figure by the end of FY26. Following the previously
signalled soft third quarter, sales contracting (lead
indicator to sales) improved in the fourth quarter, with
this momentum continuing into early FY26 trading.
Pricing model changes implemented in the second half
of FY25 have driven an almost 40% increase in average
DMF to 28.8% on new contracts increasing the value
of the future contract book.
In FY25, we achieved revenue growth of 10%, increasing
to $760.7 million and our operating EBITDAF
1
increased
by $30.7 million reflecting improvements in both village
and non-village performance. Our free cash flow of
-$94.2 million improved from -$186.9 million year on
year reflecting moderated levels of development spend
and was in line with our February outlook.
Our reported NPAT was a loss of -$436.8 million
(restated FY24: -$169.7 million), impacted by one-off
costs, non-cash asset write-downs and a higher
interest expense.
As previously signalled, our FY25 financial statements
were significantly impacted by accounting changes
across revenue recognition, valuations and cost
capitalisation. All FY25 outlook, cost savings and capital
management targets outlined at the time of the equity
raise were met or exceeded. The completion of the
financial reporting review did mean that additional NTA
impacts were identified and reflected in the accounts.

Outlook
We continue to drive operating performance with a
clear focus on releasing cash and reducing costs and
recognising the need to change how we grow and allocate
capital in the future. Cash performance in FY26 will
benefit from lower cost structures in support services,
lower capital spend as in-flight stages complete,
increasing occupancy in the four main buildings opened
in FY25 and lower interest costs following the
capital raise.
Selling down existing stock remains a significant
opportunity to drive cash flow. Our sales effectiveness
continues to strengthen, and we are confident this
will drive ongoing improvement in sales performance
throughout FY26 as the team builds a stronger pipeline
of contracts from levels seen in the second half of FY25.
Importantly, we are achieving a significantly higher
DMF on new occupation right agreements (ORAs)
and high occupancy in our mature care centres which
will underpin revenue growth and improved business
performance in the years ahead.
Thank you
A heartfelt thank you to every Ryman team member
for your commitment to delivering exceptional care and
experiences for all our residents every day. I’m proud
of how you’re embracing change, living our purpose,
and supporting our business reset with such dedication.
I acknowledge the patience and support of our
shareholders as we progress towards delivering better
financial returns. I am confident that the changes we
are making to our business will enhance our financial
performance and strengthen our position as industry
leaders in retirement living and aged care.
Lastly, a sincere thank you to our residents, who remain
at the heart of everything we do. We deeply value the
positive impact you bring to our communities, and we
look forward to continuing to support our residents
and future residents in New Zealand and Australia for
the next 40 years and beyond.

Our year in review
Key milestones
2024 marked the 40-year anniversary of Ryman
Healthcare. Since 1984, Ryman has set the benchmark
for retirement living and quality of care for our residents,
guided by the ethos that what we do has to be ‘good
enough for Mum and Dad’. Our teams celebrated this
milestone alongside our residents with 1980s themed
parties throughout our villages in New Zealand
and Australia.
Occupancy remains high in Ryman’s mature villages
across both aged care (96.3%) and retirement
living (92.8%). Resident sentiment is positive as
demonstrated by a stable net promoter score (NPS)
across care and independent residents.
We were honoured to be recognised by our residents
and the industry, achieving the following awards during
FY25, and for the first time, holding all three:
2024 Canstar Blue Most Satisfied Customers Award
2024 Reader’s Digest Most Trusted Brand; and
2024 Aged Advisor Best Provider Nationwide
We also had our ‘myRyman’ resident app awarded the
Value of Design Award at the 2024 Best Design Awards,
presented by The Designers Institute of New Zealand.
Our residents are at the heart of everything we do,
and these awards recognise the dedication of team
members who deliver our purpose for our residents
every day.

Sales and stock of occupation right agreements
In challenging market conditions, we achieved 1,523 ORA
sales, in line with February guidance and broadly flat
on the year prior. Unoccupied units rose from 974
(10.6% of portfolio) to 1,239 (12.7% of portfolio) largely
driven by new serviced apartments following the opening
of four main buildings in the period, which is an
unprecedented level for Ryman.
We have been busy reviewing and improving our
sales and marketing effectiveness. We are working on
sales strategies that support prospective customers
throughout their journey, alongside improved pricing,
incentives, and more targeted marketing, to achieve
higher sales in an increasingly competitive market.
A new pricing model offering resident choice
and long-term sustainability
Our new pricing model, introduced in October,
recognises that our residents are staying longer
and the need to cover rising village operating costs,
particularly rates, insurance and electricity, which have
increased significantly in recent years.
Our standard DMF increased to 30% (previously 20%),
and is now supported by flexible pricing options where
DMF and unit prices can be adjusted to suit individual
customer preferences if required. Additionally, new
residents can choose between our standard indexed
weekly fees or locking in fixed fees.
Our development milestones
We completed four main buildings, welcoming
residents to Miriam Corban, Keith Park, James Wattie,
and Bert Newton villages. Hubert Opperman in
Mulgrave also opened its first independent townhouses,
bringing the total number of operational villages to
49: nine in Victoria and 40 in New Zealand, home
to over 15,000 residents.
The Kevin Hickman main building is close to completion,
with the care centre scheduled to open to residents
in June, and the Patrick Hogan main building will
commence
in the first half of FY26.
The build rate for the year totalled 950 units and beds,
including 301 independent living units, 290 serviced
apartments and 359 aged care beds (all on a completed
basis). Three villages were completed, reducing the
number of sites under construction from 10 to seven.
Ryman remains focussed on completing in-flight stages
and selling down existing stock, with the timing of future
development to be aligned with market demand.
Resetting our approach to development
New development remains on hold while we complete
villages under construction. The pause allows us time to
complete priority villages, sell-down existing stock, and
to reprioritise our land bank sites based on an improved
risk-return framework.
Going forward, we are looking for potential development
sites with staged delivery (once market conditions support
those developments), lower build
complexity, and
supportive demographics in catchment areas.
11
Progressive reform changes in Australia
In November, the Australian Government passed the
Aged Care Act 2024, a crucial step towards enhancing
the quality, sustainability, and accessibility of aged
care services.
We strongly support the reforms announced, particularly
the introduction of more flexible funding models and the
means-tested co-contribution model for both residential
aged care and the Support at Home Programme. We
believe these changes demonstrate how reform can
improve the delivery and economics of aged care,
making it more equitable for ageing citizens and more
sustainable for providers.
Aged care reform in New Zealand
As life expectancy increases and health needs become
more complex, demand for specialised age-related
healthcare services in New Zealand will increase. This
is driving greater care requirements within villages and
increasing acuity in residential aged care.
The New Zealand Government’s report
1
into aged care
funding has identified that the sector is underfunded
and a substantial increase in the regulated care price
is required to sustain current capacity and promote
new capacity. We confirmed earlier this year that we are
reviewing our aged care capacity in New Zealand.
The issue is sector wide and needs to be addressed
urgently to ensure the medium to long-term ability of
the sector to provide enough aged care beds for older
New Zealanders. We look forward to the Government
concluding its review to address this.
Progressing sustainable outcomes
To position our business for sustainable growth, over
the year our ESG focus has been on governance –
ensuring that we have the foundations in place to lead
Ryman to a sustainable future.
Additionally, we took a step closer to achieving our
ambition to build climate-resilient villages and to achieve
close to 100% electricity from renewable sources
in New Zealand through construction starting on the
Ryman Healthcare solar farm, Te Papa Reireia
in Northland.

Transforming Ryman for the future
Our strategy to transform our business over the next three to five years is based
around three key focus areas.
2.
Sustainable business
improvement
Target: $100–150 million
annualised cash improvement
over three to five years
1.
Releasing cash from the
business
Target: Over $500 million in
the next three to five years
Significant opportunities to release cash and reduce the level of debt and
capital intensity of our business
Our immediate focus is on selling existing retirement unit stock through targeted
pricing and marketing strategies and pausing future development stages until
market conditions improve. We also aim to release cash from resale stock where
previous ORAs have been paid out.
We are considering the introduction of ORAs with a DMF for premium aged care
across our New Zealand portfolio.
Our land bank represents a significant opportunity to release cash with undeveloped
land holdings valued independently at $369 million at 31 March 2025. Our portfolio
optimisation review will assess opportunities for divestment of land bank sites
where they can deliver better shareholder value through sale.
Focus on the performance of our existing portfolio, ensuring that the assets
that we have, deliver a better return
We will improve the operating performance of our villages through increased
occupancy and a higher revenue per unit following the recent changes to
DMF and weekly fees. This will deliver growing benefits over time, as well as
cost savings through procurement and other operational efficiencies.
Increased scarcity in aged care bed supply is a significant opportunity to leverage
our continuum of care model. With the opportunity to expand the ORA model
into aged care and maximise our delivery of aged care services into serviced
apartments, we will increase our aged care revenue over time.
We are also optimising non-village support functions through our new functional
structure and outsourced design, development and construction model.
3.
Disciplined approach
to growth
Target: Lower peak capital
intensity and increased
flexibility
Instilling confidence that the capital we deploy will generate an attractive return
We continue to review our existing villages and land bank to prioritise the
best opportunities for value-accretive growth.
Within existing villages, we will target growth opportunities that are supported by
demand. This includes the future stages of our in-flight projects, our land bank at
existing villages, and opportunities to expand near to existing villages, maximising
asset utilisation of our existing care capacity and facilities.
As we plan new villages, we will refine our designs to better meet the evolving
needs
of our future residents, with the flexibility to adapt to changing preferences,
government policies, and anticipated demand over the life of these assets.
Our approach will also focus on reducing peak capital intensity by phasing
development stages and limiting the number of concurrent projects.
Finally, we are looking at consolidation opportunities in Australia, where Ryman
can add additional value by leveraging our unique continuum of care model,
supported by more attractive regulatory settings.

Our purpose, our people,
our places
In 2022 we launched our sustainability strategy focussing
on initiatives under three key areas: our purpose, our people,
our places.
Over a period of transformation of our business, we are revisiting our strategy to ensure
it supports our goal of improving our business performance and achieving a more
disciplined approach to growth. This will include reviewing our materiality assessment
in FY26 to ensure our KPIs address the issues that are material to our business today
and into the future.
Importantly, we now have new governance in place to ensure that our sustainability
strategy delivers meaningful social and environmental outcomes.
Our Climate-Related Disclosures Report and Modern Slavery Statement are published
separately from this report. You can find them on our website.

Our purpose
We deliver our purpose through providing a range of options that allow our
residents to choose the lifestyle that suits them, with the peace of mind that they
can access industry-leading care in our villages, should they need it.
Home care across our villages
From 1 November 2025, Australia’s home care system
will undergo a significant overhaul, transitioning from
the Home Care Packages Programme and Short-Term
Restorative Care (STRC) to the Support at Home
programme, to improve access, support, and quality
of home care.
The demand for home care services remained strong
during the year, as we continue to focus on our existing
residents. Within this context, home care packages
have increased by 28% in the past 12 months, reflecting
the size of the opportunity for our teams to provide
services to residents who already have strong, trusted
relationships with our village teams.
Ahead of the 1 November changes, our home care
team is helping residents with initial assessments or
reassessment of the appropriate home care package.
Delivering for our residents
Every year, we measure our residents’ loyalty through
their likelihood to recommend us to others through our
net promoter score (NPS). Our NPS for FY25 is stable,
reflecting the
unwavering commitment and focus of our
village teams on resident experience and quality care.
The new services and support structure has re-aligned
the Clinical and Resident Services functions alongside
a flatter management structure, providing additional
agility for villages, and improved reporting. This will
increase our effectiveness in delivering services for
all residents.
Digital innovation to enhance our
resident experience
Our award-winning myRyman care and lifestyle apps
provide essential tools for care delivery, and for our
residents to engage with the vibrant village lifestyle on
offer. Over the last year we have made improvements
that support greater accessibility for residents with
vision impairments, and improved support for team
members in the delivery of our care services.
We believe that supporting our residents to learn and
embrace technology is a key enabler to enhancing
their freedom, connection, and wellbeing.
19
Upskilling for leadership in dementia care
Seventy thousand New Zealanders are living with
dementia, and this is set to more than double by 2050
1
.
In Australia, the number of people living with dementia
is 400,000, and this is set to double by 2058
2
.
We believe the lack of available care beds will increase
the demand for Ryman’s services and therefore our
teams need to be on top of the latest dementia
research to provide the best care for our residents.
Over the year, over 100 team members completed
a comprehensive dementia care programme, and a
research project that uses AI technology to enhance
team members’ knowledge and skills about how
to communicate effectively with residents that
have dementia.

Enhancing our indigenous engagement
Our goal is to cultivate meaningful relationships with
Ngā iwi Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand and First Nations
People of Australia to empower an indigenous perspective
across our business model and into all of our services.
To support this, Ryman is developing a Māori Engagement
strategy, Pasifika Engagement strategy and has completed
the registration of our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan
in Australia.
Building relationships with iwi
With guidance and in partnership with Māori partner
agencies and iwi, we want to support and address the
challenges kaumātua Māori face.
Over the year, we have been working to establish the
foundations and relationships for ongoing engagement
with iwi, and will continue to build and nurture relationships
in the communities where we operate.
Ryman’s reconciliation journey in Australia
While we are at the beginning of our journey, we celebrate
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures
and recognise reconciliation is essential in creating a
better and more sustainable Australia for the future.
Our commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
engagement is reflected in our Reflect Reconciliation
Action Plan (RAP) which was launched in September 2024.
At that time, we joined a network of more than 3,000
corporate, government, and not-for-profit organisations
that have made a formal commitment to reconciliation
so that we can continuously develop and strengthen
reconciliation commitments in new ways.

Our charity partnerships
Each year we have a proud tradition of selecting a
charity partner to work with over the next 12 months. Our
residents and teams then actively fundraise throughout
the year, and we match the total amount raised, up to
$250,000 in New Zealand, and $100,000 in Australia.
In association with our teams and residents, we raised
$466,640 for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand,
and in Australia we raised $138,479 for the Royal Flying
Doctor Service Victoria.
We are proud to have helped raise funds for these
important charities.
Our New Zealand 2025 charity partner is Hato Hone
St John and our Australia 2025 charity partner is the
Olivia Newton John Wellness & Research Centre.
Supporting the passions of our residents
This year Ryman partnered with the Royal New Zealand

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025
Our people
We are proud to employ team members who are dedicated to providing industry-leading
retirement living and care for our residents. We are committed to investing in people,
enhancing leadership, and fostering a high-performance culture, all of which are
critical to the success of our transformation journey.
Driving a performance culture through
transformation and leadership
Changes through our transformation programme have
enhanced clarity, transparency, and accountability
for all team members. To ensure our teams fully
understand their role in driving transformation, we
are embedding a high-performance culture.
This year we launched several initiatives to support our
leaders to drive our high-performance culture including:
• The introduction of the Lead and Empower
Programme to foster leadership growth
• A review and refinement of our Induction
Programme,
setting new team members up
for success from day one
• Clinician to Manager Training, empowering care
team members with clinical backgrounds to
transition into leadership roles.
Health, safety and wellbeing at Ryman
We strive to provide health, safety and wellbeing
initiatives that ensure our teams aim for excellence
and are supported to deliver our purpose for
our residents.
We are proud to report a reduction in our recordable
injury rate reflecting improved safety performance
and
incident prevention, driven by increased leadership
engagement, an enhanced reporting culture, and
more accountable investigation processes and
corrective actions.
In May we launched our ‘Leading Safe and Well’
Programme equipping leaders with the skills to foster
a culture of health, safety, and wellbeing across the
organisation. With tailored workshops for different
business areas, the programme has successfully
engaged 225 leaders, achieving an 86% completion
rate since its launch.
We are pleased to report that there have been no critical
injuries across the company.
We verify our villages’ critical risks through comprehensive
safety audits. Safety systems across the villages
demonstrated strong performance, averaging 86.7%
compliance in village audits over the past year.
Our teams, contractors, and subcontractors work together
to create safer environments, where speaking up and
stepping in is part of our daily operations. We streamlined
our high-potential incident alert and reporting process to
fast-track key information and drive faster action.
We are pleased to report that recordable injuries have
dropped year on year.
23
Supporting emerging talent
We are committed to supporting the next generation
of healthcare leaders, proudly offering the following
financial support for students:
• Māori and Pasifika scholarships, offering a one-off
payment of $6,000 to assist recipients in their final
year of nursing school
• $15,000 James Wattie scholarship for a business
student who has made considerable adjustment
in their lives to pursue their studies despite
challenges
• The Graeme Rabbits Scholarship, offering two
team members $10,000 each towards their
tertiary education fees
• The Cashin Scholarship, offering one team member
$10,000 towards their tertiary education fees.
Team member NPS
Overall NPS increased significantly year-on-year
indicating that our team members feel positive about
the teams they work with, the culture and environment
they work in, and the relationships they have with the
residents they care for.
Diversity, equity and inclusion
Ryman’s approach to diversity is to continually develop
a work environment that supports equality and inclusion,
regardless of difference. Our diversity, equity and
inclusion policy is available on our website.
As at 31 March 2025, Ryman’s Board gender diversity
is slightly below 30%. The NZX recommends a minimum
of 30%. This will be considered when new Board roles
are up for nomination.
Ryman aims for a minimum of 40% representation
for males and females in our senior leadership group,
with the remaining 20% comprising any gender. As of
31 March 2025, we have 57% female representation in
the SET, and a notable 60% across all leadership positions.
Ryman’s gender pay gap
We recognise that transparency, equity, and accountability
are critical to attracting and maintaining talent and
building long-term value. For FY25 we are pleased to
report that we have no gender pay gap across all team
members in New Zealand, and in Australia have a gender
pay gap of 0.45% in favour of female employees. This
shows Ryman’s commitment to gender equality.

Soaring beyond boundaries
Frances, resident of Jane Winstone Village in Whanganui,
exemplifies determination and pioneering spirit. Now
86, Frances was one of New Zealand’s first female
commercial flight instructors, defying the odds in a
male-dominated field.
“I wanted to fly from the age of 12,” Frances recalls,
inspired by her brothers’ service in the Air Force and
a school project on jet engines. Despite being told she
had to be 16 to apply for a student licence, she kept her
dream alive.
“On my 16th birthday, I rang Civil Aviation at 9am. They
said, ‘We know who you are – your licence is in the mail!’”
Frances earned her commercial pilot’s licence
at 19,
later becoming the first full-time female flight instructor in
New Zealand in 1962. Her roles ranged from scenic tours
to emergency medical flights, and she was a founding
member of the New Zealand Association of Women in
Aviation.
“We wanted to show women that aviation could
be their future too,” she says.
Even after a 25-year break to raise a family, Frances
regained her instructor rating, proving her passion
never faded.
Ryman CEO Naomi James says, “When I hear about the
achievements of residents like Frances, I feel huge respect
and admiration. It’s impossible not to feel inspired.”
Living in a village named after fellow aviatrix Jane Winstone,
Frances finds it fitting: “She was fantastic – a real pioneer.”
Brian’s blueprint for an epic retirement
Brian, a former construction business owner, moved
with his wife Karlene to Raelene Boyle Village in
Aberfeldie in 2022.
Seeking purpose in retirement, Brian found it in the
village workshop, using his construction skills to craft
wooden items such as bowling ball carriers, interactive
boards, and festive decorations for fellow residents,
especially those in aged and dementia care.
“I enjoy making things that help people feel more
connected. These aren’t things you can buy in a shop.
They’re unique, and the residents can add their own
touch by decorating them,” says Brian.
Beyond the various things he has created, the village
workshop has also become a new home to the many
tools Brian owned through his construction business.
Because Brian is always on hand to help, he has been
affectionately nicknamed ‘Mr Fix-It’ by fellow residents.
“If something’s broken, Brian’s your man,” one resident
shared with a smile.
In addition to his workshop projects, Brian has continued
his 37-year volunteer service with the Victoria State
Emergency Service (SES), reflecting his commitment
to helping others.
For Brian, the key to living a fulfilling retirement is staying
active, whether it’s through volunteering or spending
time in the village workshop.
“As long as I’m busy, I’m happy,” he says.
The unique contributions of our residents
As our ageing populations grow, so too does the incredible value that our older New Zealanders and Australians
bring to our societies. We believe our role is to enable and support our residents in how they choose to age.

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025
Our places
Pioneering renewable energy for
retirement villages
In November, construction began on a landmark
21 megawatt solar array on farmland near Maungatūroto,
Northland, setting a new standard for renewable
energy adoption in New Zealand’s aged care sector.
Developed in partnership with Harbour Infrastructure,
the Ryman Healthcare Solar Farm, Te Papa Reireia, is
expected to generate approximately 32 gigawatt hours
of electricity annually, helping to power our New Zealand
villages. In FY25, our electricity usage across our
New Zealand villages was approximately 53 gigawatt
hours, meaning the solar farm could supply around
66% of near-term future needs.
Delivering future ready villages
Our new villages reflect a shift toward more sustainable
energy systems. Our focus is on ensuring that newly
designed villages move away from traditional gas, using
electric hot water systems and other energy-efficient,
low-carbon alternatives.
At Kevin Hickman Village we undertook a pilot study
constructing an apartment building using cross-laminated
timber (CLT), an innovative approach that significantly
reduces reliance on concrete and structural steel.
This reduces embodied carbon and results in a lighter
building structure with reduced foundation and seismic
requirements. The building also became the first in our
portfolio to be fitted with a high-efficiency heat pump
water system, marking a key step away from conventional
gas-powered hot water heating.
Building on this progress, we are integrating these
learnings into the design of future villages to enhance
environmental performance across both construction
and operational emissions.
You can read more about our commitment to carbon
reduction and our strategy to mitigate climate risk in our
Climate-Related Disclosures Report on our website.
We strive to minimise any adverse impact on our communities and seek to leave the
environment in better shape for generations to come. Our villages are not only places
for our residents to reside, they are communities that provide freedom, connection
and wellbeing.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Classification of property assets
The Group provides aged care and retirement living co-located within retirement villages. The classification of
the property assets determines the accounting treatment and judgement is required. NZ IAS 40 – Investment
Property requires an entity to develop criteria so that it can exercise that judgement consistently and to disclose
the criteria when classification is difficult.
Business model or intention
• Property held for use in the production or supply of goods and services would be property, plant and
equipment. Therefore, if the business model is the provision of care, the property should be classified
as property, plant and equipment.
• Property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation would be investment property. Therefore, if
the business model is the provision of retirement accommodation, the property should be classified as
investment property.
Level of ancillary services provided
• For a property to be classified as investment property, the services provided to the residents must
be insignificant to the arrangement.
• Guideline of 20% of total revenue to determine whether the services provided are significant.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Climate change risk
The Group recognises that climate-related risks, if not appropriately managed, will impact the way the Group
currently operates. Physical climate risks such as storms, flooding and heat have the potential to create significant
impacts on the business and its operations. The Group continues to assess the impact of climate change on its
assets and operations. Potential impacts of climate change include:
• Costs of regeneration and remediation of the Group’s existing portfolio of villages because of an increase
in susceptibility to physical risks such as flood, storm, and heat.
• Increased expenditure required to develop new villages that are more resilient to physical risks resulting
from climate change.
These risks are specifically addressed in the selection of new development sites, the design and construction of
the Group’s new integrated retirement villages and aged care facilities, and the refurbishment and enhancement
of its existing portfolio of villages.
While there currently is no significant impact identified for asset valuations; this may change in the future. To date,
the independent valuers have made no explicit adjustments to valuation of property, plant and equipment (note 11)
and the valuation of investment property (note 12) in respect of climate change.
Seismic risk
The Group operates several villages in geographies that have a higher earthquake risk, particularly the villages
located along the Hikurangi fault line in New Zealand. None of the Group’s properties have been notified by a
territorial authority in New Zealand as being potentially “earthquake prone” (being a New Building Standard
(NBS) rating of less than 34%). If the buildings were to be formally classified as “earthquake prone”, the maximum
period of time for carrying out remedial works would be 15 years for buildings located in high-risk zones (such as
Wellington), through to 35 years for buildings located in low-risk zones (such as Auckland).
The Group is currently undertaking seismic assessments across a number of buildings located in higher-risk
seismic zones with the assistance of independent experts. These assessments are at varying stages of completion.
Improvement works have already been carried out on a limited number of buildings. For other buildings where
issues have been identified to date, the Group is actively exploring remediation options and estimates of the
associated costs. Other assessments remain at preliminary stages and further investigation is required.
Independent experts have confirmed that there are no life safety concerns and no need to vacate any buildings.
While the final scope and cost of works can only be confirmed once assessments are complete, preliminary
internal estimates for known issues are in the range of $30-35 million. These estimates have been provided to the
Group’s independent valuer to inform their valuation of property, plant and equipment (note 11) and investment
property (note 12). The valuer has made an allowance for major capital expenditure of the estimated value
provided by management.
Remedial works
The Group has undertaken relevelling works of the main building and one of the apartment buildings at
Edmund Hillary Retirement Village in Auckland, New Zealand, with the aged care facilities in the main building
being re-operationalised in May 2025. The exterior remediation is expected to be completed in June 2025.
These works were undertaken in response to ground settlement over time.
The cost of the current relevelling works is approximately $8.0 million, the majority of which has been incurred
in the current financial year. This information has been provided to the Group’s independent valuer to inform the
valuation of property, plant and equipment (note 11) and investment property (note 12). Both the discount rate for
the valuation of investment property and the capitalisation rate for the valuation of property, plant and equipment
adopted at Edmund Hillary have been revised, reflecting the potential requirement for future remedial works/
relevelling in respect of the main building and apartment building that have been relevelled.
The Group monitors ongoing settlement at Edmund Hillary and relevelling works are likely to also be required
to various other buildings in the future.

Changes in financial reporting
Accounting policies are selected and applied in a way that seeks to ensure the resulting financial information
satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, and the substance of the underlying transactions or other
events is reported.
The Group disclosed at 31 March 2024 that it had made changes to accounting estimates with the effect of
any change recognised prospectively. These changes related to investment property and property, plant and
equipment, including the removal of the directors range assumption (market participant assumption), no longer
including an allowance for value provided by the aged care facility to independent residents and inclusion of
completed unsold investment property in the valuation. Refer to the 31 March 2024 financial statements for
more information.
The Group has continued its extensive review of its financial reporting with the goal of enhancing the transparency
of its results and ensuring greater comparability with others in the sector. As a result, there have been further
accounting estimate changes and corrections to the Group’s financial reporting, some of which were reported in
the 30 September 2024 half year unaudited consolidated interim financial statements. The financial statements for
the period ended 31 March 2024 and opening balance sheet at 1 April 2023 have been restated, where applicable.
The accounting estimate changes (note 1e) and corrections (notes 1a–1d and notes 1f–1g) have been summarised
below, with the impact of these on the comparative periods reported in the table following.
a. Investment properties – discounting accrued deferred management fees
The carrying value of completed investment property and investment property under development, where
fair value is able to be reliably measured, is based on the independent valuers’ reports and also includes
occupancy advances liability, adjusted for accrued deferred management fees and revenue in advance.
As required by NZ IAS 40 – Investment Property, the fair value was adjusted for assets and liabilities
already recognised on the balance sheet which are also reflected in the discounted cash flow approach.
This includes occupancy advances for retirement village units which are recognised as a liability net of
deferred management fees and suspended contributions (resident loans). The Group had previously
discounted the deferred management fees when adjusting investment property.
The Group has reviewed this treatment and has determined that it would be more appropriate to remove
the adjustment to discount the accrued deferred management fees. The occupancy advance liability is not
discounted in the same way, and this creates a divergence in assumptions. Both the occupancy advance and
accrued deferred management fees are recorded at face value on the balance sheet, as they are technically
repayable when due, despite their expected long-term nature. The removal of the discounting of accrued
deferred management fees results in a reduction in the fair value of investment property and has flow on
impacts to the deferred tax expense and asset. This change allows for enhanced comparability of the Group’s
financial statements. This change has been retrospectively applied and the comparatives have been restated.
b. Recognition of occupancy advance receivable and liability
The Group previously recognised a receivable for an occupancy advance when a legally binding contract
with a resident was in place, and the retirement village unit was either complete or considered to have met the
threshold for inclusion in the investment property valuation. At the same time, the corresponding occupancy
advance liability was recognised. Occupancy advance receivables were typically cash-settled by residents
on occupation of a retirement village unit.
Following a review of this treatment, the Group has determined that recognising the occupancy advance
receivable and liability at the point when the resident takes possession of the unit provides more reliable and
relevant information to the users of the financial statements. Possession marks the point at which the resident
will typically have fully paid the occupancy advance and begun occupying the unit, as well as the point at
which deferred management fees begin to accrue and weekly fees become payable. This change allows for
enhanced comparability of the Group’s financial statements. This change has been retrospectively applied
and has resulted in a restatement of occupancy advance receivables and liabilities.
47
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The remaining occupancy advance receivable (included in trade and other receivables) relates to residents
who have transferred within the village and whose units have not been cash-settled, as their equity is retained
in their previous unit, or to residents who have been granted possession of a unit prior to cash receipt,
primarily for health-related reasons.
The Group has assessed the impact of this change on the fair value of its investment property and determined
it is immaterial. This assessment is supported by independent valuers’ views and sample testing of the
valuations as at 31 March 2024, using the revised population of unit contracts. The effect of the change is
limited to adjustments within the investment property reconciliation, as shown in note 12.
The previous practice of earlier recognition of the occupancy advance receivable and liability led to a
population of units under development being included in the valuation, where it was determined that the fair
value could be reliably measured. Following this change, the Group now only includes units in the investment
property valuation which are complete. The population of units included in the valuation will be adjusted on
a go-forward basis.
c. Development land classification and measurement
Development land, including land held for the future development of aged care facilities and retirement
villages, was previously classified as property, plant, and equipment and measured at cost. On acquisition
of a site, the split between investment property and property, plant, and equipment is uncertain. Land was
allocated upon the commencement of construction when the site’s overall design is known and there is a
reduced likelihood of changes.
The Group has reviewed this treatment and determined that it would be more appropriate to classify this
land as investment property in accordance with NZ IAS 40 – Investment Property where this land has an
undetermined future use. The Group’s accounting policy for investment property is to measure it at fair value.
There may be two components to development land: the land itself and capitalised work in progress (WIP).
Land will be valued by independent valuers in line with the investment property valuation cycle. Capitalised
WIP for investment property under development is carried at cost until its fair value becomes reliably
measurable or when the development is completed, whichever is earlier. It is subject to impairment testing and
will be monitored for any indicators of impairment, such as if the development changes or is no longer feasible.
This change requires retrospective application, but the Group has found it impractical to restate comparative
amounts to fair value. This being due to the independent valuer’s inability to conduct visual inspections
for
prior periods, changes in site conditions under development, and fluctuating market conditions. Management’s
assessment of a sample of valuations and market appraisals shows no significant difference between the
historical cost of the land and its fair value. Therefore, the Group deems the impact on the comparative
periods is immaterial and the comparatives have not been restated.
d. Assets held for sale measurement
Investment property within assets held for sale were previously measured at the lower of carrying value
or fair value less costs to sell. Due to the reclassification of development land as investment property, the
measurement criteria previously applied under NZ IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued
Operations no longer applies to this class of asset. NZ IFRS 5 states that the measurement provisions of
the standard do not apply to investment property, which are covered by NZ IAS 40 – Investment Property.
Consequently, assets held for sale are now recorded at fair value.
The Group has determined that the difference between fair value less costs to sell and fair value is immaterial in
the comparative periods, and therefore, has not restated these balances. Any previously recorded impairments
across the comparative periods have been reclassified from impairments to fair-value movements.
As part of this change process, it was identified that Nellie Melba land which has been held for sale since
March 2024 was previously incorrectly included in investment property and omitted from assets held for sale.
The March 2024 assets held for sale balance has been restated accordingly.
RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
e. Revenue recognition of deferred management fees
Deferred management fees are recognised on a straight-line basis over the periods of service. The period
of service is determined as being the greater of the expected period of tenure and the contractual right to
deferred management fees. Previously the expected periods of tenure, based on historical experience across
our villages, was estimated to be seven years for independent units and three years for serviced units.
Following a review of the existing modelling methodology, the Group applied alternative techniques, including
the use of actuarial tables and analysis of customer mix trends. This resulted in a revised estimate of nine
years for independent units and 4.5 years for serviced units. The internal modelling underwent an independent
external review to ensure it was fit for purpose.
The timing of deferred management fee recognition is an accounting estimate, and as such, adjustments
must be made prospectively. Accounting standards require that all existing contracts with remaining deferred
management fee income have the income spread over the revised tenure periods. This adjustment would
result in a lower deferred management fee in the current and future periods for those contracts.
However, after consultation with the Group’s data specialists and the external software provider, it was
determined that it is impracticable to apply the change as required by accounting standards due to system
limitations and data integrity risk. Instead, the change has been applied only to contracts where residents
have first occupied the unit since 1 April 2024. This change was made at 30 September 2024 and backdated
to 1 April 2024. The financial impact of this change was a $1.8 million reduction in deferred management
fee revenue for the six months ended 30 September 2024. The $1.8 million reduction is not material to the
Group financial statements. Given the change has been applied in the underlying systems, it is not possible
to quantify the impact to the full financial year.
The expected periods of tenure will be reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary in the event of a
material change.
In addition to the above, a historical cumulative $12.0 million overstatement of deferred management fee
revenue has been corrected in the current period. This related to uncapped internal transfers and incorrect
inclusion of GST. The GST treatment created a timing difference in the financial statements, although tax
obligations were correctly reported. The adjustment is not material to the Group financial statements and
has not been retrospectively restated.
f. Support and services capitalisation
Property, plant and equipment and investment property
The Group has operated a shared services model with resources centralised in the head office entities in
New Zealand and Australia. These resources support the operation of the village entities, asset management
of existing villages, development of new villages and general administration and compliance activities for
the business as a whole. The cost of a development (whether investment property or plant, property and
equipment) includes directly attributable costs of constructing the development for it to be capable of
operating in the manner intended by the Group. Since the majority of shared services resources support
multiple development projects, an allocation methodology must be applied.
The Group has reviewed this allocation methodology and revised its policy, with the change retrospectively
applied. Where completed investment property and property, plant and equipment are held at fair value, any
changes to the historical cost base of assets which had previously been valued, will not impact the carrying
value. The revised policy reduces the cost base of assets, reduces capitalised costs and increases reported
expenses, and increases the fair-value movement (investment properties) or asset revaluation reserve
movement (property, plant and equipment). To the extent that property, plant and equipment was impaired in
previous periods, this policy change will reverse the impairment before uplifting the asset revaluation reserve.
There will also be consequential reductions in the annual depreciation expenses for property plant and
equipment. Given the quantum of the development activity in recent years, this is a complex change to the
financial results.
49
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Intangible assets
The previous methodology saw support and services costs capitalised to all qualifying assets, including
internally generated intangible assets (software). Intangible assets are held at cost less amortisation and
impairment (if any). The change to the policy will result in a permanent reduction in the value of intangible
assets and increase in reported expenses. There will also be consequential reductions in the annual
amortisation expenses. The comparatives have been restated.
g. Aged care facility valuation
The Group has historically engaged independent valuers to provide a valuation of completed care facilities.
The valuation was performed on a freehold going concern basis which incorporated land, buildings, furniture,
plant and equipment, and goodwill. In the absence of a detailed component breakdown, fair-value movements
were previously allocated to land first, followed by buildings as needed.
The Group has revised its valuation instructions to require an explicit apportionment of value among land,
buildings, furniture, plant and equipment, and goodwill. Goodwill is now excluded from the reported asset
value, as it is internally generated and cannot be recognised as an asset. This change has been applied
retrospectively. Furniture, plant and equipment continues to be held at cost less accumulated depreciation
and impairment.
The independent valuer has provided the required apportionment for comparative periods, resulting in an
overall reduction in the carrying value of aged care facilities and either a reduction in the asset revaluation
reserve or recognition of an impairment expense where the reserve has been fully utilised. The property,
plant, and equipment note has also been updated to reflect the revised valuation methodology.
In addition, the aged care facility freehold going concern valuation previously included a gross-up for
refundable accommodation deposits. This gross-up was to reflect that the valuation of the freehold
going concern included a deduction for the value lost from an absence of premium charging on rooms
subject to refundable accommodation deposits. The Australian valuer incorporated the gross-up directly
in their valuation, consistent with market practice. As the Group is the only provider offering refundable
accommodation deposits for aged-care in New Zealand, this gross-up is not captured by the New Zealand
valuer, and was historically incorporated by the Group. Following the change to value only land and buildings,
this gross-up is no longer required.
h. Reclassifications
Certain comparative balances have been reclassified to ensure consistency with the current reporting format.
Derivative financial instruments
During the year, the Group revised its presentation of derivative financial instruments in the statement of financial
position. Derivative assets and derivative liabilities within note 20 are now presented separately, whereas in
prior periods, a net derivative position was reported. The comparative figures for the previous financial year
have been restated to reflect this change and ensure consistency with the current year’s presentation.

i. Opening balance sheet significant estimates
The opening balance sheet at 1 April 2024 has been presented to reflect the restatements referenced above.
Significant accounting estimates were included in the opening balance sheet that are no longer applied in the
current or comparative reporting periods. This disclosure provides context for the values presented in the
opening balance sheet.
Allowance for value provided by aged care facility
The March 2023 land and building valuation, included within property, plant and equipment, incorporated an
allowance for the value attributed to the aged care facility supporting independent and serviced apartment
residents. This allowance was determined as a portion of the deferred management fees (DMF) paid by those
residents and was excluded from the investment property valuation.
In March 2024, prompted by changes in economic conditions, financial returns, and strategic plans, the Group
reassessed the appropriateness of this estimate. As a result, the allocation was reduced from 25% to zero and
has not been reinstated. The March 2023 allowance included in the carrying value of land and buildings was
$320.7 million. If applied consistently, the equivalent 2024 allowance would have increased to $370.7 million.
The removal of this allowance contributed to a $429.7 million increase in the March 2024 investment property
valuation. The difference between the $429.7 million increase and the $370.7 million comparative allowance
reflects the removal of allowances previously deducted from investment properties that are not associated
with a care centre valuation.
Directors range assumption within the investment property valuation
In March 2023, the directors exercised judgement in determining the adopted fair value of investment
property by using a range of inputs, including both 20% and 30% DMF rates. This approach benchmarked
Ryman’s DMF structure against broader industry practices, resulting in the application of a 30% assumption
on future rollovers.
In March 2024, these assumptions were reviewed. Independent registered valuers advised that Ryman’s
actual contractual DMF terms—primarily 20% at the time—are appropriate for determining the fair value of
the operator’s interest. Although this differs from the sector’s maximum DMF rates, the valuers considered
other valuation inputs, such as the discount rate, to sufficiently reflect potential variability.
Consequently, the March 2024 investment property valuation was based solely on the independent valuation.
The impact of this change was a $398.6 million reduction in the investment property valuation.

New and amended standards and interpretations
The following standards and interpretations became effective during the current period and are relevant to the
Group’s financial reporting:
• Supplier Finance Arrangements (Amendments to NZ IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures and
NZ IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows)
• Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to NZ IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements)
• Disclosure of Fees for Audit Firms’ Services (Amendments to FRS 44 – New Zealand Additional Disclosures)
• IFRIC agenda decision on Segment reporting
These changes did not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The Group’s
segment reporting has changed during the period, driven by changes to the organisational structure, roles and
responsibilities. These changes are unrelated to the IFRIC agenda decision. The amendments to FRS 44 were
early adopted in FY24.
The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of
issuance of the Group’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt these new and
amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective. The effect of these have not
yet been determined.
NZ IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements.
This standard becomes effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. NZ IFRS 18 introduces
new requirements on presentation within the statement of comprehensive income, including specified totals
and subtotals. It also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures and includes new
requirements for the aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of
the primary financial statements and the notes.
RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Summary of material accounting policies
Material accounting policies that are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements are set out
below. Material accounting policies that are specific to certain balances or transactions are set out within the
notes to which they relate.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared by combining the financial statements of all the entities
that comprise the Group, being the Company (the parent entity) and its subsidiaries as defined in NZ IFRS 10
– Consolidated Financial Statements. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same
reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All significant inter-company
transactions and balances are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Income and expenses for each subsidiary whose functional currency is not NZD are translated at exchange
rates that approximate the rates at the actual dates of the transactions. Assets and liabilities of such subsidiaries
are translated at exchange rates at balance date. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in the
foreign-currency translation reserve.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange
rates that approximate the rates at the actual dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate at the
reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated
using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that
are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair
values were determined.
Foreign exchange differences are generally recognised in profit or loss. However, exchange differences relating
to the translation of a foreign operation and the effective portion of a hedge of a net investment in foreign
operations are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognised net of GST except when:
• The GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised
as part of the cost of the asset or expense, as applicable.
• Receivables and payables are stated with the amounts of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of the
receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to,
the taxation authority.
Statement of cash flows
The statement of cash flows is prepared exclusive of GST. This is consistent with the method used in the
income statement.
• Operating activities are the principal revenue-producing activities of the Group and other activities that are
not investing or financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities include receipts and repayments of
occupancy advances and refundable accommodation deposits.
• Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of property, plant and equipment, investment properties,
intangible assets, and other investments.
• Financing activities are activities relating to changes in the equity and debt structure of the Group.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group operates in a single industry: the provision of integrated aged care facilities and retirement villages
for older people in New Zealand and Australia. The service delivery process is consistent across all villages, with
similar customer classes, distribution methods, and regulatory environments. As a result, the Group does not
separately report on care and village operations, and these are aggregated within each region.
The Group’s chief operating decision maker is the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer.
The Group has undergone significant structural and operational changes in recent years.
• In late 2023, the Group announced it would no longer use underlying profit as a key performance measure,
shifting focus to cash flow from existing operations, cash flow from development, and IFRS profit/(loss) before
tax and fair-value movements.
• In April 2024, the Board Chair became Executive Chair following the resignation of the Group CEO, and a
significant business improvement programme was initiated.
• In September 2024, the Group transitioned to a function-based services and support structure, replacing
the previous regional model to improve efficiency. This restructure disestablished the Group/Regional
reporting structure used in prior segmental results, with team members appointed to functional roles
regardless of location.
• A new Chief Executive Officer commenced in November 2024 to continue leading the transformation.
As a result of these changes, the internal reporting structure is still being reset, and updates are being embedded
in reporting systems and management processes. During this period, the Board of Directors and Chief Executive
Officer primarily review Group-level financials. Segmentation is relevant in respect of the integrated village
operating earnings before interest expense, tax, depreciation, amortisation and fair-value moments (EBITDAF)
performance of each country and the non-village EBITDAF (mainly centralised support services) across
New Zealand and Australia combined. Currently there is no allocation of support services costs (e.g. clinical or
operations teams) from the non-village to village segments. The segment note has been revised to reflect these
changes and the comparatives have been restated on this basis.
Non-current assets are based on the geographical locations of the assets. Loans and borrowings are based on
the geographical location of the borrower, with an adjustment between regions to account for start-up funding
borrowed in New Zealand which was used as equity in the Australian operation. The accounting policies of the
reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies.

Information about major customers
Included in total revenue is revenue that arose from sales to the Group’s largest customers.
The Group derives care-fee revenue for eligible government-subsidised residents who receive aged residential
care, and in Australia, home care. In New Zealand, the government aged care subsidies received from Health
New Zealand – Te Whatu Ora amounted to $171.5 million (2024: $157.5 million). In Australia, subsidies received
from Australian Government Services Australia amounted to $63.3 million (2024: $46.6 million). There are no
other significant customers.
3. REVENUE
Accounting policy: Revenue
The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources:
• Care and village fees
• Deferred management fees
• Imputed interest income on refundable accommodation deposits.
Care and village fees
Care fees relate to the provision of accommodation, care and related services to aged care residents. Village
fees relate to the provision of accommodation and related services to independent residents in the Group’s
retirement villages.
Care-facility and retirement village service fees are linked to providing services on specific days (service dates).
Revenue from care-facility and retirement village service fees is recognised on completion of the service dates.
Deferred management fees
Residents of the Group’s independent-living units and serviced apartments pay a deferred management fee
for lifetime occupation (or a shorter period at the resident’s discretion) and the right to share in the use of the
community facilities. The deferred management fee is calculated as a percentage of the occupation right
agreement amount. The fee accrues monthly, for a set period, based on the terms of individual contracts.
Deferred management fees are payable when residents exit their unit and are netted off the gross occupation
advance which is returned to residents.
Revenue from deferred management fees is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of service,
which is determined as the greater of the expected period of tenure or the contractual right to receive deferred
management fees. The timing of revenue recognition is an accounting estimate, with expected tenure based on
historical experience across villages. These assumptions are reviewed periodically and may change to reflect
evolving life expectancy. In the current year, more sophisticated methods were applied, incorporating actuarial
tables and consideration of resident mix. For residents entering from 1 April 2024, the tenure estimate was revised.
The impact of this change is disclosed in Note 1.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
In 2024 the Group began offering care suites under an occupation right agreement with a deferred management
fee, instead of a daily accommodation premium or refundable accommodation deposit paid by residents.

Imputed interest income on refundable accommodation deposits
For residents who pay for accommodation using a refundable accommodation deposit, the Group has determined
that these arrangements qualify as leases under NZ IFRS 16 – Leases, with the Group acting as the lessor. In
accordance with NZ IFRS 16, the fair value of the non-cash consideration—represented by an interest-free loan
from the resident—must be recognised as income, with a corresponding interest expense. There is no net impact
on profit or loss. This only applies to refundable accommodation deposits and not where there is another form of
payment for accommodation such as daily accommodation premiums or deferred management fees.
The Group has determined the use of the Maximum Permissible Interest rate (MPIR) as the interest rate to be used
in the calculation of the imputed interest income on Australian refundable accommodation deposits and bonds.
The MPIR is a rate set by the Australian Government and is used to calculate the Daily Accommodation Payment
(DAP) to applicable residents. This ranged between 8.34%–8.42% (2024: 7.46%–8.38%).
In New Zealand, the implicit interest rate used to convert a room premium to a refundable accommodation
deposit is used to calculate the imputed interest income. This is currently 6.06% (2024: 5.20%–6.06%).
Accounting policy: Revenue in advance
Revenue in advance represents those amounts by which the deferred management fees over the contractual
period exceed recognition of the deferred management fees based on expected tenure.

The Group has revised its cost capitalisation methodology and a lower proportion of centralised support services
costs are capitalised. As a change in accounting policy, the comparatives have been restated.
Employee expenses relating to sales advisors, including commission payments, which were previously classified
as direct selling expenses, have been reclassified to employee expenses. This amounted to $9.0 million in 2024
and was reclassified in the comparative period.

5. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTISATION EXPENSE
Accounting policy: Depreciation and amortisation
Property, plant and equipment
Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, at straight-line (SL) rates
calculated to allocate the asset’s cost or valuation, less estimated residual value, over their estimated useful lives,
starting from the time the assets are ready for use, as follows.
• Buildings 2% SL
• Plant and equipment 4–25% SL
• Furniture and fittings 10–20% SL
• Motor vehicles 20% SL
• Right of use assets Term of lease SL.
Software
Amortisation is provided on internally generated software assets and acquired software assets as follows.
• Internally generated software 10–25% SL
• Acquired software 10–25% SL.
The estimated useful lives, residual value and depreciation/amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period, with the effects of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

6. FINANCE COSTS
Accounting policy: Loans and borrowing costs
Loan and borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets
(assets that take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use) are added to the costs of those
assets until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use.
Capitalisation of interest commences when expenditure and borrowing costs are incurred and the activities
necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are in progress. The activities necessary to prepare the asset
for its intended use encompass more than the physical construction of the asset and therefore the capitalisation
of interest costs may commence before the physical construction of the properties.
If development activities are suspended for an extended period, capitalisation of the borrowing costs should
also cease until such time as the activities are resumed. This does not apply where substantial technical and
administrative work continues during a suspension in physical construction, or if it is a temporary delay that is a
necessary part of the process of getting an asset ready for its intended use or sale. Capitalisation of interest costs
continues until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. For independent units, this occurs when
occupation is permitted, and for main buildings, when the aged care facility is certified for use.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred.

7. INCOME TAX
Accounting policy: Income tax
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Tax expense is recognised in the income statement except
when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax expense
is recognised in other comprehensive income or in equity.
Deferred tax is provided for temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not provided for on land and on
temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting
profit nor taxable profit, and do not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the way the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are
expected to be realised and settled. The Group assesses deferred tax on investment properties on the basis that
the asset value will be realised through use. The carrying value of the Group’s investment properties is determined
on a discounted cash flow basis and includes cash flows that are both taxable and non-taxable in the future. The
Group recognises deferred tax on cash flows with a future tax consequence.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that the entity has sufficient taxable temporary differences or it
is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be used.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority and the Group intends to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Unrecognised deductible temporary differences – tax losses
The Group has reassessed the recoverability of the deferred tax asset recognised in respect of unused tax losses
as at year end. In conducting this assessment, the Board considered the Group’s recent financial performance
relative to previous forecasts, its updated financial forecast, and prevailing economic conditions.
Under NZ IAS 12 – Income Taxes, the recognition of a deferred tax asset for unused tax losses requires robust
evidence that it is probable future taxable profits will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Given
the Group’s recent financial results, the challenging operating environment, and the increase in the unused tax
loss balance during the current year, management has determined that this threshold is not currently met.
Accordingly, the Group now recognises a deferred tax asset on tax losses only to the extent that it offsets existing
deferred tax liabilities. This is a change in estimate and prospectively applied. As a result, a deferred tax asset
of $188.5 million has been derecognised, with a corresponding income tax expense recognised in the income
statement for the current period.
The derecognised tax losses remain available to the Group for future use, provided the relevant requirements
under applicable tax legislation are met. This includes satisfying the shareholding continuity requirements, or
where applicable, the New Zealand and Australian business continuity tests.
Unrecognised tax losses of NZ$505.7 million and A$412.2 million can be carried forward indefinitely and
continue to represent a potential future tax benefit to the Group, notwithstanding their current derecognition
for accounting purposes.
Unrecognised deductible temporary differences – other
In Australia, the Treasury Laws Amendment (Making Multinationals Pay Their Fair Share – Integrity and
Transparency) Act 2024, which received royal assent in April 2024, introduced amended thin capitalisation
interest limitation rules effective for the Group’s Australian subsidiaries from 1 April 2024. These rules limit net
interest deductions to 30% of an entity’s tax EBITDA (which is broadly based on the concept of taxable income
before interest and depreciation). The Australian subsidiaries’ current tax profile means they are denied a
deduction for their net interest costs in the current period but are permitted to carry forward the denied interest
deductions for up to 15 years, subject to satisfying certain integrity rules at the time the denied interest deductions
are sought to be recouped. The Group has decided to not recognise a deferred tax asset in respect of its denied
net interest deductions balance of A$76.7 million.

8. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Accounting policy: Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in banks and on-demand deposits, and other short
term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk
of changes in value. This includes all call borrowing, such as bank overdrafts, used by the Group as part of its
day-to-day cash management.
In accordance with the Construction Contracts (Retention Money) Amendment Act 2023, commencing
5 October 2023 retention money is held in a separate bank account on trust. This is held in a compliant account
with a registered bank and is not subject to the nightly sweep. This amounts to $11.1 million at 31 March 2025
(2024: $13.9 million).
The Group has access to an overdraft facility. The bank overdraft facility is secured by a General Security Deed
and mortgages over the freehold land and buildings of the Group in the same manner as the bank loans (note 19).
Interest is payable at the ANZ Institutional Overdraft Base Rate. The interest rate on all overdraft facilities at
31 March 2025 was 7.05% (2024: 10.75%).
The Group has no bank accounts outside of the regions in which we currently operate (New Zealand and Australia).
9. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Accounting policy: Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are measured at amortised cost, less any impairment. This is equivalent to fair value, being
the receivable face (or nominal) value, less appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. The
allowance recognised is the lifetime expected credit losses based on an assessment of each individual debtor.
It is estimated based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience and general economic conditions. Expected
credit loss represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events in the expected
life of a debtor. Trade receivables are written off when there is no realistic chance of recovery.
These debtors are non-interest bearing, although the Group has the right to charge interest on overdue
settlements of occupancy advances or overdue care and village fees.
Care and village fees receivables are amounts due from residents and various government agencies in the
ordinary course of business.
Occupancy advance receivable and liability is recognised at the point when the resident takes possession of the
unit. Possession marks the point at which the resident will typically fully pay the occupancy advance. Previously
this was when a legally binding contract was in place and the unit was either complete or considered to have met
the threshold for inclusion in the investment property valuation.
The receivables balance relates to residents who have transferred within the village and whose units have
not been cash-settled, as their equity is retained in their previous unit, or to residents who have been granted
possession of a unit prior to cash receipt, primarily for health-related reasons. There is limited credit risk for this
population as the previous equity balance or a deposit is retained which will likely cover any accrued DMF.
The refundable accommodation deposit balance has significantly decreased due to a change in business
practices, whereby refundable accommodation deposit benefits are no longer provided until funds are received
from internally transferring residents.

detail in note 1.
10. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Accounting policy: Assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as assets held for sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily
through sale rather than through continuing use.
Investment property held for sale is measured at fair value, with any valuation adjustment recognised through
fair-value movements in the profit or loss.
Property, plant and equipment held for sale is measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less
costs to sell. Any impairment losses on their initial classification as assets held for sale and any subsequent gains
and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.
Where a contracted sale price is available, this is considered the best indicator for fair value. Where no contracted
price is available, the fair value is determined by independent valuers. These valuations use comparable
transactions and hypothetical development methods. The valuation reflects the highest and best use of the
assets. This assessment considers the use of the asset that is physically possible, legally permissible and
financially feasible.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
As described in note 1, the Nellie Melba land has been held for sale since March 2024 but was previously
incorrectly included in investment property. The March 2024 balance has been restated to correctly reflect this.
A sale and purchase agreement has been signed for the Karori land (Wellington, New Zealand) at a price
of $23.0 million, conditional on certain matters to be satisfied by the Group. Settlement is anticipated by
October 2025.
Excess land at Nellie Melba (Melbourne, Australia) has been sold for A$9.0 million (NZ$9.9 million), with
settlement expected by December 2025.
The land at Kohimarama (Auckland, New Zealand) no longer meets the definition of held for sale and has been
reclassified back to investment property. The Group is still committed to selling the site, but it does not meet
the definition of actively marketed and likely to be sold within 12 months.
The Newtown land was settled in the period and all monies were received by the Group.
11. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Accounting policy: Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment includes completed aged care facilities (land, buildings, plant and equipment,
fixtures and fittings), aged care facilities under development, corporate assets and right-of-use assets (refer note
22). The Group has revised its accounting policy, now recognising development land within investment property.
This was previously included in property, plant and equipment. This change was retrospectively applied.
All property, plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost. Cost includes cost of land, materials, wages and
interest incurred during the period required to complete and prepare an asset for its intended use. It also includes
centralised support services costs directly attributable to the construction of the aged care facilities. The Group
has revised its capitalisation policy following an assessment of the eligibility of the underlying cost base, resulting
in a lower level of capitalisation. This change was retrospectively applied.
Once an aged care facility reaches practical completion and is ready for use, land and buildings are carried
at a revalued amount, which is the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, since the assets were last revalued. Furniture and
fittings and plant and equipment for the aged care facility are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment. Independent valuations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount
does not differ materially from the asset’s fair value at the balance sheet date. Previously, newly completed
facilities that had not operated for a full financial year were held at cost and assessed to ensure no material
difference from fair value.
For aged care facilities under development, land and buildings are carried at cost, with land initially recorded
at its most recent valuation prior to construction. An assessment is made to determine whether carrying value
materially differs from fair value, and impairment is recognised if required.
Revaluations to fair value are based on a valuation report prepared by independent valuers at the reporting date in
line with NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement. Valuations are currently performed annually by CBRE Limited and
CBRE Valuations Pty Limited. All valuers are registered valuers and industry specialists in valuing the aged care
sector. Fair value is determined by reference to market-based evidence, which is the amount for which the assets
could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a knowledgeable willing seller in an arm’s length
transaction as at the valuation date.
The Group’s aged care facilities were previously valued on a freehold going concern basis, which reflected the
integrated value of land, buildings, furniture. plant and equipment, and goodwill associated with the facility, with the
assumption that goodwill was immaterial. The Group has revised its approach to value only the land and buildings.
This change was retrospectively applied.
73
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
As the fair value of land and buildings is determined using inputs that are unobservable (such as capitalisation
rates and market value per care bed), the Group has categorised property, plant and equipment as Level 3 under
the fair-value hierarchy in line with NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement.
Any revaluation surplus is recorded in other comprehensive income, unless it reverses a revaluation decrease of
the same asset previously recognised in the income statement. In this case, the increase is credited to the income
statement to the extent of the decrease previously charged. Any revaluation deficit is recognised in the income
statement unless it directly offsets a previous surplus of the same asset in the asset revaluation reserve, in which
case the revaluation deficit is recorded in other comprehensive income. Any accumulated depreciation at the
revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset, and the net amount is restated to
the revalued amount of the asset.
All other plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment.
Where the Group enters into a long-term lease of land and obtains control over the land such that it can direct its
use without significant restrictions, and the present value of lease payments substantially reflects the fair value
of the land, the arrangement is assessed as being economically similar to a purchase of land. In these cases, the
Group accounts for the land under NZ IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment, rather than recognising a right-of-
use asset under NZ IFRS 16 – Leases. This accounting reflects the substance of the transaction and the transfer
of control and economic benefits to the Group. Leasehold land is included in the fair value of aged-care facilities,
as determined by the independent valuer.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. On disposal, any resulting gain or loss is included in the
income statement and any revaluation reserve relating to a particular asset being disposed of is transferred to
retained earnings.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Group has revised several accounting policies during the period, as discussed in note 1. The comparative
period has been restated.
• Reclassification of development land: Development land is now recognised within investment property,
whereas it was previously classified under property, plant, and equipment.
• Updated cost capitalisation methodology: A lower proportion of centralised support services costs are
now capitalised under the revised approach.
• Valuation of aged care facilities: These are now valued as land and buildings, rather than as freehold going
concern. This results in internally generated goodwill no longer recognised for financial reporting purposes,
and the gross-up of New Zealand refundable accommodation deposits is no longer recognised with the
revised valuation process.
The Group has also reclassified building fit-out related to corporate right-of-use assets from buildings to furniture
and fittings. This has been applied consistently in the comparative period. The 2024 closing accumulated
depreciation relates to operating aged-care facilities which were not subject to valuation.
Valuation methodology
The independent valuers determine the fair value of land and buildings using a capitalisation of notional annual
rental income. In this context, ‘rent’ refers to the estimated amount a third-party operator would pay to lease the
facility, assuming the Group were the landlord rather than the operator. This notional rent does not reflect the
accommodation charges paid by current residents.
The predominant method used by the independent valuer to determine a market rental for land and buildings
is the direct comparison approach on a dollars per bed basis, with some consideration given to the rental as a
percentage of gross revenue. A value is then established for the land using market-based evidence reflecting
highest and best use. The residual amount is attributed to buildings.
The independent valuers note that the aged care market is subject to government subsidies which regulate, and
in many cases, cap the level of revenue a facility can generate. Therefore, unlike the general commercial market,
regardless of quality, a facility will receive the same government fee rate per bed irrespective of location, room size,
scale, age, and quality to the detriment of higher quality facilities. Aged care facilities are a specialised form of realty
and market rental can be no greater than that able to be generated by an appropriately managed and marketed
enterprise. In the independent valuers opinion, premium charging is mostly attributable to the operator of an aged
care facility, rather than the landlord, and included in the freehold going concern valuation of the business.

The independent valuers used a range of significant assumptions to value the care facilities as follows. Care suites
under an occupation right agreement were valued as a care bed in the current year as their recent introduction
means they represent an immaterial portion of the Group’s asset base.

Average market rental value – New Zealand 1801 74
Average market rental value – Australia 603592
A significant increase (decrease) in the market rental value may result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.
The variability between countries reflects significant differences in the relative profitability of villages, driven
primarily by the more favourable aged care funding model in Australia. This increases the rent a market
participant may be willing to pay.
The Australian valuer notes that quality, new aged care facilities are seldomly leased to a third party and where
they are the information is not freely available to the market. The New Zealand valuer notes that less than 6.5%
of the market is subject to third party lease arrangements. Many operations are owner occupied, agreements are
between related parties, or subject to formula-based reviews.

Classification of property interests
The Group holds a freehold interest in all land and improvements other than the following properties which
Ryman holds a leasehold interest in the land: Princess Alexander (Napier – part of site), Bob Scott (Wellington),
William Sanders (Auckland), and Miriam Corban (Auckland). In the majority of these instances the ground rental
has been either fully or partially prepaid. The interest in the right-of-use asset is held at fair value, as determined
by the independent valuer.
Security
Some residents make interest-free advances (refundable accommodation deposits and occupancy advances)
to the aged care facilities in exchange for the right to occupy a care room. Under the terms of the New Zealand
occupancy agreements, the refundable accommodation deposit and occupancy advance is secured by a
registered first mortgage in favour of the Statutory Supervisor over the assets of the aged care facility. Residents
in Victoria, Australia have the benefit of a government guarantee under the Aged Care (Accommodation Payment
Security) Act 2006 and there is no security against the Group’s assets.
Right-of-use assets
Included within property, plant and equipment are the right-of-use assets relating to leases.

Impairment losses
The exclusion of internally generated goodwill from the aged-care facility valuation, along with the removal of the
New Zealand refundable accommodation deposit gross-up, resulted in impairment of several aged-care facilities.
As the change was applied retrospectively, additional impairment was recognised in the comparative period.

Following the impairment of a number of recently released aged care facilities within the Group’s portfolio, this was considered to
be an indicator of impairment for any other aged care facilities in advanced stages of construction. Kevin Hickman Retirement
Village, which is scheduled to open in June 2025, was not independently valued as it remained incomplete at the reporting date.
An internal desktop assessment was undertaken, and it was concluded that an impairment charge should be recognised for this
facility. This was based on a market rental value and capitalisation rate of comparable villages.

12. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES
Accounting policy: Investment properties
Investment properties are intended to be held for the long term to earn rental income and for capital appreciation.
It includes land and buildings (including long-term leases of land), equipment and furnishings relating to retirement
village units and community facilities, including units and facilities under development. The Group has revised its
accounting policy regarding the classification of land. Land acquired with the intention of constructing investment
property or held for an undetermined future use is now classified as investment property from the date of
acquisition. Previously, such land was included in property, plant, and equipment.
Investment property is initially measured at cost. Cost includes cost of land, materials, wages and interest
incurred during the period required to complete and prepare an asset for its intended use. It also includes
centralised support and services costs directly attributable to the construction of the investment property.
The Group has revised its head office capitalisation policy following an assessment of the eligibility of the
underlying cost base, resulting in a lower level of capitalisation.
Land purchases are recognised as assets when the Group obtains control of the land and it is probable that
future economic benefits will flow to the Group, and the cost can be measured reliably. Control is typically
evidenced by the transfer of legal title or an equivalent contractual right. Prior to settlement and transfer of
title, deposits paid are recognised as other receivables. The remaining commitment is disclosed in the
commitments note to the financial statements. The Group will often negotiate terms whereby the title is
transferred with settlement deferred. In such instances, the land is recognised as an asset at the full purchase
price upon transfer of title. A corresponding liability is recognised for the deferred settlement amount,
measured at its present value, and the associated cash outflow is recognised accordingly.
Completed retirement village units and community facilities are subsequently measured at fair value.
The Group has revised its accounting policy and no longer holds units and community facilities under
development at fair value, instead carrying them at cost. In prior years a proportion of units and community
facilities which were nearing completion were valued.
Development land is land pending physical construction on site. There may be two components to development
land: the land itself and capitalised WIP. The land is carried at fair value and the capitalised WIP is carried at cost
until its fair value becomes reliably measurable or when the development is completed, whichever is earlier. It
is subject to impairment testing and is monitored for any indicators of impairment, such as if the development
doesn’t have a sufficiently certain likelihood of commencing.
Any change in fair value is recognised in the income statement. Investment properties are not depreciated.
Fair value is determined by independent valuers, CBRE Limited (New Zealand retirement villages), and
Jones Lang LaSalle Advisory Services Pty Ltd (Australian retirement villages), in line with NZ IFRS 13 – Fair
Value Measurement. Fair value is assessed twice a year, with a desktop review at interim reporting periods
and a full valuation at year-end reporting periods. All valuers are registered valuers and industry specialists
in valuing the retirement living sector. These valuations consider the requirement of NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value
Measurement to assume that market participants act in their economic best interests. Previously multiple
valuations were obtained for completed investment properties and a midpoint of the two valuations was applied
to provide a more stable estimate of value. The Group has moved to a single valuation in the current year.
Development land is valued using the direct comparison approach and retirement villages are valued using
a discounted cash flow approach. As the fair value of investment property is determined using inputs that
are unobservable, the Group has categorised investment property as Level 3 under the fair-value hierarchy,
in line with NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement.
As required by NZ IAS 40 – Investment Property, the fair value as determined by the independent registered
valuer is adjusted for assets and liabilities already recognised on the balance sheet which are also reflected
in the discounted cash flow analysis.
81
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Where the Group enters into a long-term lease of land and obtains control over the land such that it can direct its
use without significant restrictions, and the present value of lease payments substantially reflects the fair value
of the land, the arrangement is assessed as being economically similar to a purchase of land. In these cases,
the Group accounts for the land under NZ IAS 40 – Investment Property, rather than recognising a right-of-use
asset under NZ IFRS 16 – Leases. This accounting reflects the substance of the transaction and the transfer of
control and economic benefits to the Group. Leasehold land is included in the fair value of investment property,
as determined by the independent valuer.
Revenue associated with investment properties, being the management fee and retirement village service fees,
is accounted for in line with note 3.

• Updated cost capitalisation methodology: A lower proportion of centralised support services costs are now

it was previously classified as investment property.
The comparative period has been restated, with further detail in note 1.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Valuation methodology
For retirement village assets, the predominant form of income is ‘roll-over’ income which typically occurs on the
departure of village residents who have owned an occupation licence. The independent valuer uses a discounted
cash flow methodology, which estimates the present value of future cash flows from occupation right agreements,
deferred management fees, and village fees
Development land is valued using the direct comparison approach, whereby recent sales of block land preferably
of similar potential and characteristics in terms of size, average section realisation values and development costs
have been compared to the relevant Group property. Consideration is then given to the individual characteristics
of the Group’s property including consent status.
The independent valuers have adopted several changes to their valuation methodology to reflect updated
business practices and improve alignment with the Group’s contractual arrangements and operational data.
Key changes in the current period include:
• Adoption of the 30% deferred management fee model: Reflecting the Group’s shift to a 30% DMF as the
preferred contractual arrangement for new residents from 1 October 2024, the valuers have modelled this
structure for all future incoming residents.
• Indexation of weekly fees: Adoption of the indexed weekly fee for future residents, following the introduction
by the Group from 1 October 2024.
• Inclusion of development land: The valuation scope has been expanded to include land held for future
development, including land adjacent to existing villages, undeveloped portions of active construction sites,
and land yet to be developed.
• Inclusion of leased property: For the first time, the Group has valued the Eastmed Medical Centre
(located next to Grace Joel, Auckland) which is owned by the Group, to better reflect its fair value.
• Valuation based on possession date: Occupation right agreements are now valued based on the current
contract in possession, consistent with the Group’s recognition of unit ‘sales’ on possession rather than
on application.
• Modelling of repaid resales stock: Units where the exiting resident has been repaid are no longer treated
as occupied by the independent valuer. The incoming resident’s cash inflow is now considered separately,
using an “in one line” valuation approach that incorporates a discount for profit and risk.
• Inclusion of carparks: Carparks subject to a separate occupation right agreement are now included in
the valuation.
• Modelling of bespoke contractual arrangements: Valuation assumptions now incorporate bespoke ORA
terms where applicable, reverting standard terms on future rollovers.
• Transaction costs: Transaction costs are no longer deducted within the valuation by the Australian
independent valuer. The Group had previously added-back this amount.
• Internal transfers with deferred management fee cap implications: Internal transfers of existing residents,
where impacted by deferred management fee caps or suspended capital contributions, are now modelled
within the valuation framework. The independent valuer has confirmed that no explicit allowance has been
made within the valuation for internal transfers on future rollovers.

Total investment property10,812,54210,142,199
The fair value of investment property determined by the independent valuer includes an allowance for the amount
that is payable by the Group to existing residents. However, this occupancy advance liability is already recognised
by the Group (see note 21). To avoid double counting, the Group adds this liability to the external valuation to gross
up the fair value of investment property in accordance with NZ IAS 40.
Occupancy advance adjustments in the prior year relate to differences between the value of net occupancy
advances included for future repayment within the independent valuation and the net occupancy advances on
the balance sheet. These differences may arise when an occupancy advance has been repaid but is still included
in the valuation (repaid resale units) or when a unit has multiple occupancy advances and only the most recent
occupancy advance is included within the valuation cash flows. This adjustment is made to ensure the total
adjustment to the independent valuation of completed units is consistent with the liabilities included within the
independent valuation of completed units. In the current year the independent valuer has adjusted their valuation
approach to model repaid resale stock using an ‘in one line’ methodology and this limits the requirement for
adjustments to the external valuation.
The previous reconciliation has been restated due to the accounting policy change for the recognition of the
occupancy advance asset (debtor) and liability, resulting in reclassification of certain amounts. In addition,
the removal of the discounting of the accrued deferred management fee from prior periods and reduced cost
capitalisation led to a reduction in the value of investment property. Additional details can be found in note 1.

The March 2024 Australian valuation was undertaken by a panel of two independent valuers: CBRE and JLL. The growth rates,
discount rates, current average age and stabilised departing occupancy periods in the March 2024 period are reflective of JLL’s
assumptions only to improve consistency with March 2025, where only JLL performed the valuation.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Market risk identified by the independent valuers
The independent valuers comment that the global and local economic outlook remains uncertain due to
geopolitical tensions, trade fragmentation, and recent tariff announcements. In New Zealand, the Official Cash Rate
(OCR) was reduced to 3.50% in April 2025 with the valuers noting that there was an expectation of further cuts
to come. Mortgage rates are not expected to move materially below current levels as further cuts have already
been priced in. Market sentiment in the commercial property sector is gradually improving after the historical lows
experienced in 2024. The valuers reiterate that their conclusions are based on data and market sentiment as at the
date of valuation. For the avoidance of doubt, this does not constitute a ‘material valuation uncertainty’.
Classification of property interests
The Group holds a freehold interest in all land and improvements other than the following properties which
Ryman holds a leasehold interest in the land: Princess Alexander (Napier – part of site), Bob Scott (Wellington),
William Sanders (Auckland), Miriam Corban (Auckland) and Kohimarama (Auckland – development land). In the
majority of the instances the ground rental has been either fully or partially prepaid. The interest in the right-of-use
asset related to these sites is held at fair value, as determined by the independent valuer.

Capitalised WIP for land bank relates to development sites where construction has not yet commenced,
undeveloped land at existing villages that are not classified as active sites, or early-stage construction sites that
have been reclassified as land bank.
Capitalised WIP is written off once a decision to sell has been confirmed, if not already expensed. Impairment
testing is conducted at reporting dates, considering factors such as uncertainty about future development plans
or the suspension of early-stage construction with no confirmed resumption date. Following changes to the
Group’s strategy and review of the land bank portfolio in 2025, the capitalised WIP at the remaining land bank
sites was determined to be impaired.

Operating expenses
Direct operating expenses arising from investment property that generated income from deferred management
fees during the period amounted to $73.8 million (31 March 2024: $70.7 million). Operating expenses include
building and grounds costs, repairs and maintenance and sales expenses. All investment property generated
income for the Group, except for assets under development and those held for sale.
Security
Residents make interest-free advances (occupancy advances) to the retirement villages in exchange for the right
to occupy retirement village units. Under the terms of the majority of New Zealand occupancy agreements, the
occupancy advance is secured by a registered first mortgage in favour of the Statutory Supervisor over the assets
of the retirement village. There are a relatively small number of older occupancy agreements where the residents
instead received a life interest in their unit, with the Group holding the reversionary interest. These residents’
occupancy advances are secured by a registered first mortgage over that residual interest. Residents in Victoria,
Australia have the benefit of a charge over the title for the land under the Retirement Villages Act 1986.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
13. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Accounting policy: Intangible assets
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Internally generated software assets
An internally generated intangible software asset arising from development (or from the development phase
of an internal project) is only recognised if all the following criteria have been demonstrated.
• It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it is available for use or sale.
• The Group intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.
• The intangible asset can be used or sold.
• Probable future economic benefits of the intangible asset can be generated.
• Adequate technical, financial, and other resources are available to complete the development and use
or sell the intangible asset.
• The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset can be measured during its development.
Where no internally generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in
profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.
Internally generated intangible assets are initially measured at cost. This includes the cost of materials and
services, wages and interest incurred during the period required to complete and prepare an asset for its intended
use. It also includes centralised support services costs directly attributable to development of the asset. The
Group has revised its capitalisation policy following an assessment of the eligibility of the underlying cost base,
resulting in a lower level of capitalisation.
After initial recognition, internally generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation
and accumulated impairment losses.
Acquired software assets
Acquired software assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated
impairment losses.
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
SaaS arrangements are service contracts providing the Group with the right to access a cloud provider’s
application software over the contract period.
Costs incurred to configure or customise, and the ongoing fees to obtain access to a SaaS provider’s application
software, are recognised as operating expenses when the services are received.
However, where costs incurred are for the development of software code that enhances or modifies, or creates
an additional capability for, existing software assets and meets the definition of and recognition criteria for an
intangible asset, those costs are recognised as software assets and amortised over the useful life of the software
on a straight-line basis.

The Group has revised its accounting policy regarding the capitalisation of centralised support services costs and
determined a lower proportion of these costs should be capitalised. As a result, the Group has reduced the level
of capitalisation for the current period, and comparative figures have been restated to reflect the revised policy.
Refer to note 1 for further details.
Impairment review
The Group has identified indicators of impairment relating to its internally developed software applications in
the current year following the strategic changes within the business. Ernst & Young Strategy and Transactions
Limited was engaged to perform a valuation to support the identification of impairment. The valuation
considered the replacement cost method, using two variants – replacement cost using proxy subscription
costs and replacement cost at current costs having regard to obsolescence. A cross check was performed
against broad level estimates of comparable development / purchase costs for patient administration systems
or admin / enterprise software systems.
The fair value of the internally developed software applications was assessed to be within a range of $11.4 million
to $19.3 million by an independent valuer. In light of the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing use of the assets, the
timing and extent of future economic benefits, and potential replacement plans, the directors have adopted the
lower end of the valuation range. As a result, an impairment expense of $20.5 million has been recognised in the
current period.

14. SHARE CAPITAL
Accounting policy: Ordinary shares
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as deductions from equity.
Although the shares purchased for the leadership share scheme are treated as treasury stock under financial
reporting standards, they are not of the type contemplated by section 67A of the Companies Act 1993. They
carry the usual rights attached to shares such as the right to receive dividends (albeit subject to contractual
requirements under the share scheme to apply dividend payments to repay loans) and the right to participate
in corporate actions. On this basis, the treasury stock has been included in the calculation of basic and diluted
earnings per share.
Issued and paid-up capital consists of 1,015,712,784 fully paid ordinary shares (2024: 687,641,738 shares) less
treasury stock of 1,170,990 shares (2024: 2,494,282 shares). All shares rank equally in all respects.
Shares historically purchased on market under the leadership share scheme (note 26) are treated as treasury
stock (note 15) until they are vested to the employees.

Equity raise
The Company raised a total of approximately $1 billion under the Placement and Entitlement Offer announced on
24 February 2025. This included gross proceeds of approximately $721 million received under the Placement and
Institutional Entitlement Offer, and approximately $280 million in gross proceeds under the Retail Entitlement Offer.
The purpose of the equity raise was to enhance the Group’s financial position in the current market and provide
the platform to achieve improved performance and value for shareholders as market conditions recover.
The increase in share capital of $970.2 million was net of directly attributable share issue costs of $30.5 million.
The Company issued 328,071,046 new ordinary shares in February to March 2025 in respect of the equity raise.

Nature of reserves
• Asset revaluation reserve reflects unrealised gains from the upward revaluation of aged care facilities,
recognised directly in equity rather than through profit or loss.
• Cash-flow hedge reserve reflects the cumulative effective gains or losses on cash-flow hedges, deferred in
equity until the hedged cash-flows impact profit or loss.
• Foreign-currency translation reserve captures exchange differences from translating the financial statements
of foreign operations into the Group’s reporting currency.
• Treasury stock represents shares purchased on market under the previous leadership share scheme where
they have not vested to the employee.
• Share-based payments reserve represents the accumulated value of equity-based compensation that has
been recognised as an expense but not yet exercised.
Dividends paid
In 2023 the directors determined that it was in the best interests of the Company to suspend dividends as the
balance sheet is reset. No dividends have been declared or paid in the 12 months to March 2025 (2024: nil).
The directors plan to review the dividend policy during the 2026 financial year. Any future dividend policy is
expected to be based on cash flow. Under the terms of the Syndicated Facility Agreement, the Group cannot
pay a dividend without the consent of the majority lenders until Interest Cover Ratio compliance is reported
for the 30 September 2026 testing period.

16. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES
Accounting policy: Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are measured at amortised cost. This is equivalent to the face (or nominal) value of
payables, which is assumed to approximate their fair value.
20252024
$000$000
Trade payables85,089117,502
Land purchase accruals9,50027,819
Other payables18,9895,299
Total trade and other payables113,578150,620
Trade payables are typically paid within 30 days of the invoice date or on the 20th of the month following the
invoice date.
When purchasing land, the Group will often negotiate terms where title is transferred with settlement deferred.
Land purchase accruals reflect this liability.
17. EMPLOYEE ENTITLEMENTS
Accounting policy: Employee entitlements
A liability for benefits accruing to employees for wages and salaries, annual leave and long-service leave is
accrued and recognised in the statement of financial position when it is probable that settlement will be required,
and the liabilities are capable of being measured reliably.
Holidays Act remediation
The Group has identified that past and present New Zealand employees may have received incorrect payments
dating back to 2010 due to the complexity of the Holidays Act 2003 and the nature of our dynamic workforce.
The issues relate to entitlements under the Holidays Act 2003, and how a range of allowances and entitlements
have been interpreted and calculated. External consultants supported management in 2024 to propose a
remediation strategy to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). This remains under review
by MBIE at balance date. A provision of $24.0 million is held on balance sheet from March 2024, with no change
in the current period.

18. REFUNDABLE ACCOMMODATION DEPOSITS
Accounting policy: Refundable accommodation deposits
Refundable accommodation deposits relate to deposits held on behalf of residents who reside in rooms in the
care facilities in Australia and New Zealand. Refundable accommodation deposits confer to residents the right
of occupancy of the rooms for life, or until the residents terminate the agreements. The deposit is repayable
following the termination of the right to occupy.
Amounts payable under refundable accommodation deposits are non-interest bearing and recorded as a
liability in the statement of financial position.
As a resident may terminate their occupancy with limited notice, and the refundable accommodation deposit is
non-interest bearing and has demand features, it is carried at face value, which is the original deposit received.
In New Zealand, a refundable accommodation deposit is repayable within 30 working days of a resident vacating
their care room. The Group is liable to pay interest if it does not repay the deposit within that period.
In Australia, the repayment obligation is within 14 days of a resident vacating their care room, or of sighting
the probate or letters of administration. The Group is liable to pay interest at a base interest rate within the
14-day period, and at the higher maximum permissible interest rate after that. These rates are published by
the Department of Health and Aged Care on a quarterly basis.
Refundable accommodation deposits in Australia must only be used for permitted uses in accordance with
the Aged Care Act 1997 and the Fees and Payments Principles 2014 (No.2). Permitted uses of refundable
deposits include:
• Capital expenditure to invest in new residential aged care infrastructure
• To repay debt accrued for capital expenditure
• Investments in certain financial products and/or Religious Charitable Development Funds (RCDFs)
• To make a loan under specific conditions
• To refund refundable deposit balances
• To meet reasonable business losses that are incurred during the first 12 months that the approved provider
receives residential care subsidy.
Refundable accommodation deposits in Australia must not be used to pay for the day-to-day costs of operating
a service such as staff wages or the purchase of consumables.
There are no such restrictions in respect of the New Zealand refundable accommodation deposits, which are
structured as an occupation right agreement.
19. INTEREST-BEARING LOANS AND BORROWINGS
Accounting policy: Interest-bearing loans and borrowings
Bank loans and borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, less directly attributable transaction costs. After
initial recognition, loans and borrowings are measured at amortised cost. Any differences between the initial
amounts recognised and the redemption values are recognised in profit and loss using the effective interest
rate method.
95
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
At 31 March 2025 interest-bearing loans and borrowings include secured bank loans and unsubordinated

The Group entered into an A$250.0 million seven-year Institutional Term Loan in May 2021, originally set to
mature May 2028. A portion of the loan (A$153.9 million) was subject to a fixed interest rate and the remaining
portion of the loan (A$96.2 million) was subject to floating interest rates. In March 2025, the Group elected
to prepay the loan. The prepayment involved make-whole, prepayment fees and other costs close out of
associated interest rate swap amounting to $25.7 million and costs previously capitalised to the loan were
expensed to the income statement.

Security
The bank loans and retail bonds are secured by a General Security Deed over the parent and subsidiary
companies and supported by mortgages over the freehold land and buildings and a General Security Agreement
(GSA). The GSA and mortgages are first ranking, other than when subordinated to the statutory supervisor who
holds registered mortgages for the benefit of residents over:
• The aged care facilities, as security for residents’ refundable accommodation deposits and occupancy
advances (see note 11); and
• The retirement village (excluding aged care facilities), as security for residents’ occupancy advances
(see note 12).
The subsidiary companies listed in note 1 have all provided guarantees for the Group’s secured loans as parties
to the general security agreement.
Covenants
The Group is subject to capital requirements imposed by its bank and the lenders included in the banking
syndicate through covenants agreed as part of the lending facility arrangements, and bond holders through
covenants in the Master Trust Deed. The Group obtained amendments to the interest cover ratio in
September 2024 and March 2025. These amendments are detailed below.
The following summarises financial covenants which were in place for the year ended 31 March 2025:
• Interest cover ratio (ICR) – the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Interest Expense of not less than 1.50x from
30 September 2026 onwards on a 12-month rolling basis. Both Adjusted EBITDA and Interest Expense
are terms defined in the Syndicated Facilities Agreement
• Adjusted total liabilities to net tangible assets ratio – the total liabilities of the Group (after deducting resident
occupancy advances, Australian resident loans and accommodation bonds owing or held by the Group) to
net tangible assets of the Group is no greater than 1.00x.
The covenants are tested six monthly at 30 September and 31 March, and the Group has complied with all
amended covenants during the period, noting that the ICR is waived for 31 March 2025, 30 September 2025
and 31 March 2026.
In exchange for the lender’s agreement to waive the ICR detailed above, the Group is subject to the following
conditions until it demonstrates compliance with the ICR covenant as at the September 2026 test date (or any
subsequent date):
• No dividends will be paid by the Group without the consent of the majority lenders;
• The Group will not commence any new developments (being development at any village which was not listed
as “under construction” in the 30 September 2024 result) other than with the prior written consent of the
majority lenders; and
• The Group will provide to the lenders a report within 45 days of the end of each quarter (with extension for
financial year-end), setting out the ICR, development updates by village, resales by village, new sales by village
and available stock by village.

20. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Accounting policy: Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date a contract is entered into and
remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date.
The fair values of these derivatives are categorised as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy in NZ IFRS 13 – Fair
Value Measurement. The fair values of these derivatives are derived using inputs that are observable, either
directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). The fair value of interest rate instruments is determined by
discounting the future cash flows using the yield curves at the end of the reporting period and the credit risk
inherent in the contract.
Hedge accounting
The Group designates most of its derivatives as hedging instruments. At inception, each hedge relationship is
formalised in hedge documentation. The Group determines the existence of an economic relationship between
the hedging instrument and the hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of respective cash flows,
interest rates, tenors, repricing dates, maturities and notional amounts at inception. The Group assesses whether
the derivative designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be, and has been, effective in offsetting the
changes in cash flows of the hedged item.
When the derivatives meet the requirements of cash-flow hedge accounting, the effective portion of the change
in the fair value of the derivatives are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated as a separate
component of equity. Amounts deferred in equity are recycled to the income statement in the periods when the
hedged item is recognised in the income statement. The ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement.
When the derivatives meet the requirements of fair value hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of the
derivatives are taken directly to the income statement for the year, to offset the change in fair value of the hedged
item also recorded in the income statement.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedge instrument expires, is terminated or no longer qualifies for
hedge accounting. When hedge accounting for cash-flow hedges is discontinued, the amount accumulated in the
hedging reserve remains in equity until it is reclassified to income statement in the same periods as the hedged
expected future cash flows affect the income statement. If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected
to occur, the amounts accumulated in the hedging reserve are immediately reclassified to the income statement.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
a. Cash-flow hedges
The Group holds various interest rate derivatives to provide an effective cash-flow hedge against floating
interest rate variability on forecast debt. During the period, the Group terminated NZD $495 million of
interest rate derivatives following receipt of funds from the equity raise announced on 24 February 2025
due to the notional value of NZD derivatives exceeding NZD debt. The instruments had a mark-to-market
loss of $5.9 million on termination. Of this loss, $4.2 million was recognised within finance costs in the income
statement during the period and $1.7 million remains in the reserve to be amortised over the original term of
the relating terminated swaps.
Following the terminations detailed above, the hedge ratio is one-to-one, as the notional amount of the interest
rate derivatives matches the face value of the hedged bank loans. As the critical terms of the interest rate
derivative contracts and the hedged item are the same, significant hedge ineffectiveness is not expected.
At 31 March 2025, the Group had a number of interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash-flow
hedges. These derivatives have a total notional principal amount of approximately NZ$1,167.7 million, which is
made up of NZ$645.0 million and A$475.0 million (2024: NZ$1,743.8 million). These derivatives cover terms
of up to six years (2024: six years) and are effective for various periods. Some of these derivatives will become
effective at a future date.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
b. Fair-value hedge
Under a fair-value hedge, the change in the fair value of the hedged risk is attributed to the carrying value of
the underlying Institutional Term Loan. This debt revaluation is recognised in the income statement to offset
the mark-to-market revaluation of the hedging derivative.
In 2022, the Group entered an interest rate swap to mitigate its exposure to fair value changes arising from
the fixed-rate portion of the Institutional Term Loan. The swap, which had a total notional principal amount
of A$53.9 million and a term of seven years, effectively changed the Group’s interest rate exposure on the
principal covered from a fixed to a floating rate. The Group designated A$53.9 million of its Institutional Term
Loan in a fair-value hedge relationship.
In 2025, hedge accounting of the interest rate swap was discontinued, as the Institutional Term Loan was
prepaid. The Group terminated the swap resulting in AUD $4.2 million loss recognised in finance costs within
the income statement. Due to the contractual terms of prepayment which required that the face value of the
loan be repaid, there was no offsetting debt revaluation recognised in the income statement.
c. Modified interest rate swaps
In November 2022 and June 2024, the Group modified interest rate swaps that had been designated in a
cash-flow hedge relationship to reduce near-term interest costs. The modification resulted in a higher
notional principal amount covered and a reduction in the remaining maturities of those swaps. The
modification resulted in the original hedge relationship being discontinued. At discontinuation, the swaps
had mark-to-market gains. As the hedged cash flows are still expected to occur, and notwithstanding the
modified swaps have matured during the current year, the gains remain in the cash-flow hedge reserve and
will be reclassified to income statement over the original hedge period. The swaps modified during the current
year had cumulative gains of NZ$7.5 million in the cash-flow hedge reserve (excluding tax effects). All modified
swaps have matured.
The amounts reclassified to income statement during the year are NZ$5.8 million and A$1.5 million (totalling
NZ$7.4 million) (2024: NZ$2.8 million and A$1.5 million (totalling NZ$4.5 million)). At balance date the
unamortised balance (excluding tax effects) in the cash-flow hedge reserve for the amended swaps
totalled NZ$14.3 million and A$2.2 million (2024: NZ$12.6 million and A$3.7 million).

21. OCCUPANCY ADVANCES (NON-INTEREST BEARING)
Accounting policy: Occupancy advances
An occupation right agreement confers on a resident a right to occupy a retirement village unit for life, or until the
resident terminates the agreement. The Group has revised its accounting policy, now recognising the occupancy
advance asset and liability at the point when the resident takes possession of the unit.
The occupancy advance, net of deferred management fee, is repayable following both the termination of the
occupation right agreement and the settlement of a new occupancy advance for the same retirement village unit.
In New Zealand, the Group is liable to pay interest if the occupancy advance has not been repaid by six months
from the resident vacating the unit. In Australia, there is a legislative requirement to repay occupancy advances
no later than six months after the resident vacates the unit.
Occupancy advances are non-interest bearing and recorded as a liability in the statement of financial position,
net of deferred management fees and suspended contributions receivable. The occupancy advance is initially
recognised at fair value and later at amortised cost. As a resident may terminate their occupancy with limited
notice, and the occupancy advance is non-interest bearing and has demand features, it is carried at face value,
which is the original advance received.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
22. LEASE LIABILITIES
Accounting policy: Leases
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or
contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange
for consideration.
Group as a lessee
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use
asset is initially recognised at cost, comprising of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease
payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are
subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease.
The right-of-use asset may be reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of
the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the remaining cash flows, discounted using the
Group’s incremental borrowing rate, which is calculated with reference to the external borrowing facilities available
to the Group. Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the
measurement of the liabilities.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost under the effective interest rate method, recognising interest
expense in the income statement. It is remeasured when there is a change in the future lease payments arising
from a change in the index or rate, a change in assumptions relating to extensions or if there is a revised fixed lease
payment. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying
amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in the income statement if the carrying amount of the asset has
been reduced to nil.
Depreciation and finance costs for right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with equipment used in the
construction of assets are capitalised as a cost of constructing the assets.
Where a lease contract contains both lease and non-lease components (for example, tower cranes), the Group
does not separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead accounts for the whole contract
as a lease.
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and
short-term leases. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
Group as a lessor
When the Group acts as lessor, it determines at lease inception whether the lease is a finance or operating lease.
The Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards
incidental to ownership of the underlying asset or whether the lease is for a major part of the economic life of
the asset.
The Group acts as a lessor under occupation right agreements with village residents. These are operating
leases and the assets leased by the Group as a lessor are classified as investment properties. Lease income on
occupation right agreements is generated in the form of deferred management fees and is accounted for in line
with note 3. The lease term is determined to be the greater of the expected period of tenure or the contractual
right to deferred management fees. The Group uses the portfolio approach to account for leases of units to
village residents and allocates individual leases to different portfolios depending on the type of unit.
The Group does not have any sub-leases.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Group as a lessee
The Group leases office buildings, sales offices, office equipment (such as photocopiers) and plant and equipment
used in the construction of retirement village units and aged care facilities. The right-of-use assets relating to
these leases are included within property, plant and equipment (note 11).

Maturity profile for lease liabilities
The maturity profile for lease liabilities is included in note 23(e).
The Group has lease contracts that include extension options. These options, which have been included to
provide operational flexibility, are exercisable only by the Group and not the lessors. The Group assesses at lease
commencement date whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options. The Group estimates that
the potential future lease payments, should it exercise all the extension options, would result in an increase in lease
liability of $4.5 million (2024: $17.3 million).
Commitments
At 31 March 2025 the Group has no commitments to short-term leases (including short-term construction
equipment leases) (2024: $3.3 million).

The fair value of the fixed-rate portion of the Institutional Term Loan was previously determined at balance
date on a discounted cash flow basis and by applying discount factors to the future AUD interest payment
and principal payment cash flows. The fair value of the floating rate portion is assumed to be the same as its
carrying amount. The fair value of the Institutional Term Loan is categorised as Level 2 under the fair value
hierarchy in accordance with NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement.
The fair value of the retail bond is based on the price traded on the NZX market at 31 March 2025. The fair
value of the retail bond is categorised as Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy in accordance with NZ IFRS
13 – Fair Value Measurement.
The fair value of interest rate derivatives are derived using inputs supplied by third parties that are observable,
either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). The fair value of these derivatives is categorised as
Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy contained within NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement (note 20).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
b. Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk of a failure of a debtor or counterparty to honour its contractual obligations, resulting in
financial loss for the Group.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk relates to cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments,
trade and other receivables, and advances to employees. The maximum credit risk at 31 March 2025 is the
carrying amount of these financial assets.
Credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments is managed by spreading
such exposures across a range of creditworthy institutions and by restricting the amounts that can be placed
with any one institution.
The Group does not require collateral from its debtors. The directors consider the Group’s exposure to any
concentrations of credit risk from trade and other receivables and advances to employees to be minimal
given that (typically):
• The occupancy advance receivables relate to individual residents and the occupation of a retirement
village unit does not take place until an occupation advance has been received
• Care and village fees have a portion payable in advance when due from residents (note 9)
• Care and village fees not due from residents are paid by government agencies
• Advances to employees are subject to the terms of the employee share schemes (note 26).
There were no material overdue debtors at 31 March 2025 (2024: $Nil).
RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
c. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that fluctuations in interest rates affect the Group’s financial performance or
future cash flows or the fair value of its financial instruments.
The Group’s interest rate risk arises mainly from loans and borrowings. Loans and borrowings issued at
fixed rates expose the Group to changes in the fair value of the borrowings. Loans and borrowings issued
at variable interest rates (including bank overdraft) expose the Group to changes in interest rates.
The Group manages its interest rate exposure from loans and borrowings using a mix of fixed and
variable-rate debt and interest rate derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments for those
loans and borrowings (note 20). The Group ensures there is an adequate spreading of debt providers
and always seeks to obtain the most competitive interest rates.
The Group also has interest rate exposure under the terms of its occupancy agreements in New Zealand,
and in respect of its refundable accommodation deposits in both New Zealand and Australia. Refer to notes
18 and 21.
• Although the occupancy agreements in New Zealand provide that occupancy advance is repayable at
the earlier of the receipt of the new occupancy advance from the incoming resident or at the end of three
years, the Group is liable to pay interest if it does not repay the occupancy advance within six months from
the date residents vacate their unit. Historically, the Group has been managing this interest rate exposure
by repaying the occupancy advance within six months.
• In New Zealand, a refundable accommodation deposit is repayable within 30 working days of a resident
vacating their care room. The Group is liable to pay interest if it does not repay the deposit within that
period. In Australia, repayment is required by the later of 14 days after a resident vacates their care room
or upon the sighting of probate or letters of administration. The Group is liable to pay interest at a base
interest rate within the 14 day period, and at a higher interest rate beyond that period. The Group manages
these interest rate exposures by repaying the deposits within the prescribed refund period where possible.
Sensitivity
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date.
The net exposure at balance date is representative of what the Group was and is expecting to be exposed to
in the 12 months from balance date. At balance date, had the floating interest rates increased or decreased by
50 basis points, with all other variables held constant, profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
d. Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of the Group’s assets, liabilities and financial performance will
fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency rates.
The Group is exposed to currency risk in AUD primarily due to its subsidiaries in Australia. The risk to the
Group is that the value of the Australian subsidiaries’ financial position and financial performance will fluctuate
in economic terms and as recorded in the consolidated financial statements, due to changes in the NZD/AUD
exchange rates.
The Group hedges the currency risk relating to its Australian subsidiaries by holding a portion of its borrowings
(bank debt) in AUD. Any foreign currency movement in the net assets of the Australian subsidiaries is partially
offset by an opposite movement in the AUD debt.
Sensitivity
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the foreign currency risk exposures in existence at the reporting
date. The net exposure at balance date is representative of what the Group was and is expecting to be
exposed to in the 12 months from balance date. At balance date, had the NZD moved either up or down by
10%, with all other variables held constant, profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

e. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
The ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the directors, who have built an
appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium,
and long-term funding and liquidity-management requirements.
Occupancy advances and refundable accommodation deposits
The Group manages the liquidity risk on occupancy advances through the contractual requirements in the
occupation right agreement. The terms of these are discussed in note 23c.
Debt facilities and liquidity headroom
The Group also manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities, and reserve
borrowing facilities. It regularly monitors both forecast and actual cash flows, as well as the maturity profiles
of its financial assets and liabilities.
Lease liabilities
The Group does not face a significant liquidity risk with regard to lease liabilities (note 22).

As detailed in note 18, refundable accommodation deposits have repayment terms that could occur in less than one year.
2
As detailed in note 21, occupancy advances have demand features and therefore have contractual maturity dates that could occur
in less than one year. Occupancy advances are unlikely to be called on demand due to the Group’s long history of gradual resident
turnover, the highly diverse and geographically spread resident base, and the absence of alternative accommodation models at
scale, which is a recognised industry and government-wide issue.

Senior Executive Team
The Senior Executive Team has changed over the period reflecting a new organisational structure and team
turnover. At 31 March 2025 the team comprised the Chief Executive Officer and six executives (2024: Group
Chief Executive Officer and eight executives). The composition and number of members of the team fluctuated
throughout the year. The average number of members was seven in the current year (2024: 9.5 members).
Termination benefits disclosed above relate to redundancy, payments in lieu of notice and ex-gratia payments for
five team members, including the previous Group Chief Executive Officer. Bonuses were also paid to terminated
eligible team members relating to performance in the prior financial year; these have been captured as short-term
employee benefits as they were unrelated to the redundancy process.
There are no loan amounts owed by the Senior Executive Team for vested shares related to the historical
leadership share scheme (note 26). The 2024 balance included within ‘Advances to employees’ in the statement
of financial position was $0.3 million.

Directors
At 31 March 2025 all directors were non-executive and are not involved in the day-to-day operations of the Group
(2024: all directors).
Following the resignation of the Group Chief Executive Officer in 2024 the Chair of the Board assumed the role of
Executive Chair on 22 April 2024 until a new Chief Executive Officer was recruited. The Board determined that
Dean Hamilton would be a non-independent director whilst he was the Executive Chair and would not receive
director fees. A sub-committee of the Board oversaw the performance of the Executive Chair function comprising
independent directors Paula Jeffs (Chair and lead independent director), Anthony Leighs and James Miller.
Dean Hamilton returned to the independent Chair role in November 2024 with the commencement of
Naomi James as Chief Executive Officer.
There are seven directors at balance date (2024: seven directors). The number of directors fluctuated during
the financial year. The average number of directors was seven in the current year (2024: seven directors).
26. EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
Accounting policy: Treasury stock
Shares purchased on market under the leadership share scheme are treated as treasury stock on acquisition
at cost. On vesting to an employee, treasury stock shares are credited to equity and an employee advance is
recorded initially at fair value and later at amortised cost.
Any loss on disposal if the treasury shares are sold by the Company (for example, when the employee leaves
before the end of the restrictive period) is taken directly against equity.
Due to the features of the scheme, it is accounted for as share options under NZ IFRS 2 – Share-based Payment.
Under NZ IFRS 2 the Group measures the fair value of the services received by reference to the fair value of the
share options granted.
Retirement of the leadership share scheme
Until 2022, the Group operated a limited recourse loan funded leadership share scheme for certain senior
employees, other than non-executive directors, to purchase ordinary shares in the Company. This scheme
has been retired and no offers have been made under this scheme since, in the current financial year.
Transition of participants from the retired scheme
The directors resolved to make an offer to eligible employees in connection with winding down existing
participation in the scheme. The offer was accepted by 92% of eligible participants and the associated costs
have been recognised as an expense in the profit or loss for the year (note 4).
At balance date, the Company has gross advances to employees (in relation to vested shares) totalling
$4.3 million (2024: $9.4 million). Although these loans are full recourse in nature, the Company has provided for
an impairment loss of $2.6 million (2024: $2.8 million) against these advances taking into account the share
price at 31 March 2025 of $2.76 (2024: $4.55).
In accordance with NZ IFRS 2, the loans in relation to unvested shares are not recorded on the statement of
financial position within advances to employees. These are accounted for within the Treasury Stock reserve.
Accordingly, no impairment loss has been provided against these loans.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Treasury stock and share options
At balance date, the scheme holds 1,170,990 fully allocated (unvested) shares, which represents 0.12% of the total
shares on issue (2024: 2,494,282 fully allocated shares, which represented 0.36% of the total shares on issue).
The following table reconciles the shares purchased on market under the scheme at the beginning and end of the
financial year. The weighted average exercise price is calculated based on the share price on the purchase date
less any net dividends received since the purchase date.

sole discretion.
27. EQUITY-SETTLED SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
The Group issued three tranches of performance share rights to eligible members of its Senior Executive Team
pursuant to the recently established long-term incentive plan. The grant of share rights was approved by the
Board on 23 September 2024.
Tranche 1
This tranche represents a small allocation of share rights issued as part of the transition from the leadership
share scheme to the new Long Term Incentive Scheme. The first tranche of 32,592 share rights is eligible for
vesting over two years (50% on 31 August 2025 and 50% on 31 August 2026). Tranche 1 does not include any
contracted performance hurdles; it only requires that the participant remains employed by the Group for the
duration of the term.
As it is assumed that there will be no dividends during the term of the share right, the share price on the valuation
date is expected to represent the most accurate estimate of the share rights, on the assumption that the share
price on valuation date will increase at the Cost of Equity (COE) during the term of the share rights, and then is
discounted back to the valuation date using the same COE.
RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025
116
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Tranche 2 and 3
Tranche 2 was issued in lieu of the 2023 leadership share scheme, which was not offered while the scheme was
under review and subsequently retired. The performance period for the second tranche of 25,639 share rights
is 13 November 2023 to 13 November 2026. Vesting of these share rights is conditional upon meeting targets in
relation to relative total shareholder return and absolute total shareholder return.
Tranche 3 was the long term incentive offer for eligible members of the Senior Executive Team for 2024. Under
Tranche 3, a total of 467,130 share rights are granted. Of these, 113,108 share rights are allocated to the new Chief
Executive Officer, for which the performance period is from 4 November 2024 to 30 June 2027. The remaining
343,158 share rights have a performance period that spans from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027. Vesting of the share
rights under Tranche 3 is conditional upon meeting targets in relation to relative total shareholder return and
absolute total shareholder return.
The fair value of the share options is estimated at the grant date using the Monte Carlo Simulation Model, taking
into account the terms and conditions on which the share options were granted. Valuation is on a per Grant basis,
does not account for any non-market condition, e.g. the service condition.
The model simulates the vesting dates’ 10-day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and closing share price
of the NZX50 companies (including Ryman Healthcare Limited) using the 10-day VWAP. The model compares
the simulated TSR against the NZX50 companies. The correlation among the two series is accounted for during
the simulation.
For all tranches (1, 2, 3)
The long-term incentive plan grants eligible members performance rights that will, if hurdles are achieved, vest as
Ryman Healthcare Limited shares. Accordingly, the exercise price and contractual term for share rights granted
under the long-term incentive plan is nil.
There are no cash settlement alternatives for the employees. The Group does not have a past practice of cash
settlement for these awards.
The Group accounts for the options granted under the long term investment plan as an equity-settled plan.
The fair-value of the share rights at grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting
period. The expense recognised for employee services received during the year is shown in the following table:

Description of the key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of aged care facilities and investment
properties
The Group’s retirement village portfolio, as disclosed in
notes 11 and 12 of the financial statements, includes aged
care facilities (encompassing freehold land, buildings and
property under development) and investment properties
with carrying values of $936.4 million and $10,812.5
million, respectively and represents the majority of the
assets held by the Group as at 31 March 2025.
Investment properties and aged care facilities are
generally carried at fair value. Construction work in
progress for investment properties and aged care facilities
under development are carried at cost less any
impairment until fair value becomes reliably measurable
(in the case of investment properties).
The valuation of the Group’s investment properties and
aged care facilities is inherently subjective due to,
amongst other factors, inputs into the valuations that are
unobservable through available market information, and
also considers the individual characteristics of each
village, its location, its resident profile and the expected
future cash flows for that particular village.
Given the existence of significant estimation uncertainty,
coupled with the fact that only a small percentage
difference in individual
valuation assumptions, when
aggregated, could result in a material misstatement, and
considering the significance of investment properties and
aged care facilities to the Group, we determined this to be
a key audit matter.
The valuations were performed by independent registered
valuers (the Valuers). The Valuers engaged by the Group
are experienced in the markets in which the Group
operates.
In preparing their valuations, the Valuers took into account
property specific information such as unit prices,
anticipated price growth rates, and discount rates for
investment properties and capitalisation rates and market
value per care bed for aged care facilities. The Valuers
also considered the qualities of each property as a whole,
including estimates for any forecast remediation works.
The Valuers then applied these assumptions in
conjunction with available market data and transactions, to
arrive at a range of valuation outcomes, from which a point
estimate was derived.
The Group also implemented a number of accounting
estimate changes and corrections that impacted the
carrying values of investment properties and aged care
facilities as at 31 March 2025 and restated the
comparative periods where appropriate. These
corrections, accounting estimate changes and
restatements have been detailed in the section "Changes
in
financial reporting" within note 1 of the financial
statements.
The valuation of aged care facilities and investment
properties is inherently subjective given that there
are assumptions, estimates and methodologies that
may result in a range of values.
We held discussions with management to
understand the movements in the Group’s
investment properties and aged care facilities,
changes in the condition of the properties, and the
controls in place over the valuation process.
In assessing the valuations, we read the valuation
reports and held separate discussions with the
Valuers in order to gain an understanding of the
assumptions and estimates used and the valuation
methodology applied.
We carried out procedures, on a sample basis, to
test whether the key inputs in the valuations that
were supplied to the Valuers by the Group reflected
the underlying records held by the Group. We
considered the estimated cost of remediation works
and agreed the forecast remediation costs to
supporting evidence.
We engaged our own in-house valuation expert to
critique and independently assess the work
performed and key assumptions used by the
Valuers. In particular, we compared the key
assumptions used by the Valuers to our in-house
valuation expert’s knowledge gained from
reviewing
valuations of similar properties, known transactions
and market data.
We also considered whether or not there was a
bias
in determining significant assumptions in individual
valuations and found no evidence of bias.
We also assessed the Valuers’ qualifications,
expertise, and objectivity, and we found no
evidence to suggest that the objectivity of any
Valuer, in their performance of the valuations, was
compromised.
We have assessed the accounting estimate
changes, corrections and restatements that
impacted the carrying values of investment
properties and aged care facilities as at 31 March
2025 and the reported comparative periods.
We confirmed that the valuation approach for each
investment property and aged care facility was in
accordance with relevant accounting standards and
suitable for use in determining the fair value of
investment properties and aged care facilities at 31
March 2025. We also considered the
appropriateness of the related disclosures made in
the financial statements.
PwC 90

Our audit approach
Overview
Overall group materiality: $21.3 million, which represents
approximately 0.5% of net assets.
We chose net assets as the benchmark because, in our view, the
objective of the Group is to provide the shareholder with a total return
on the Group's net assets, taking into account both capital and income
returns.
We performed a full scope audit over the consolidated financial
information of the Group.
As reported above, we have one key audit matter, being valuation of
aged care facilities and investment properties.
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material
misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made
subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting
estimates that involved
making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits,
we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other
matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material
misstatement due to fraud.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by
our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of the financial statements
.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality,
including the overall Group materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out above. These,
together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit, the nature,
timing and extent of our audit procedures, and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both
individually and in the aggregate, on the financial statements as a whole.
How we tailored our group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion
on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting
processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.
Other m
atter
The financial statements of Ryman Healthcare Limited for the year ended 31 March 2024, were
audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 24 May
2024.
Other information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and
our
auditor’s report thereon and the Climate Statement. The Annual Report and the Climate Statement is
expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
PwC 91
RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025
120
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express
any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
financial statements or our knowled
ge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material
misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the Directors and use our
professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial statements
The Dir
ectors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of
the financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such
internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial st
atements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financia
l statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, as a whole,
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs will always detect a
material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the
External Reportin

Statement of
corporate governance
The Board of Directors at Ryman Healthcare Limited (Board and Ryman) is committed
to maintaining high standards of corporate governance. The Board regularly reviews and
assesses Ryman’s governance structures and processes to ensure compliance with best
practice standards.
Overview of Ryman’s governance framework
Ryman is incorporated in New Zealand under the Companies Act 1993 and its ordinary shares
are quoted on the Main Board equity securities market of NZX under a single ticker code ‘RYM’.
This section of the Annual Report provides an overview of Ryman’s corporate governance
framework and includes commentary on how Ryman complies with each of the eight corporate
governance principles and recommendations of the NZX Corporate Governance Code dated
31 January 2025 (NZX Code) for the financial year ended 31 March 2025, together with other
statutory disclosures. This statement is current as at 18 June 2025.
For the reporting period, Ryman considers that our corporate governance practices are materially
consistent with the NZX Code, but for a temporary six-month departure from two NZX Code
recommendations. As reported to NZX, the independent Chair of the Board, Dean Hamilton,
was appointed Executive Chair of Ryman from 22 April 2024 to 28 November 2024, following
the resignation of the former Chief Executive Officer Richard Umbers, while the recruitment
of a new Chief Executive Officer was undertaken. During this time, Ryman could not comply
with
Recommendation 2.9 of the Code (regarding the independence of the Chair) and Recommendation
3.1 of the Code (recommending all members of the Audit, Finance and Risk committee be
non-executive directors, as Director Dean Hamilton is a member of this committee). Consistent
with the Board’s commitment to the integrity of adhering to good corporate governance, the Board
established a temporary Executive Chair Oversight committee, to oversee the performance
of the Executive Chair and this transition period.
In support of the disclosures made within this statement of corporate governance, key
governance documentation can be accessed from the investor centre on the Ryman website.
Ryman believes in good corporate governance and the value it provides
for shareholders, residents, employees and other stakeholders.

RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025
NZX PRINCIPLE 1 – ETHICAL STANDARDS
“Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold
management accountable for these standards being followed throughout the organisation.”
The Board sets high standards of ethical behaviour
which inform the overall corporate governance and
business practices of Ryman.
Code of ethics
Ryman’s code of ethics reflects the Board’s
commitment to the highest standards of behaviour
and accountability. It sets out the standards of
behaviour expected of every person with whom
the Company works, including directors, Senior
Executive Team (SET), team members, consultants
and business partners.
The code of ethics underpins decision-making that
is consistent with Ryman’s characteristics, business
goals and legal and policy obligations. The current
code of ethics is available on Ryman’s website.
It covers:
• Ryman’s culture – the Company’s values
and characteristics
• Ryman’s commitment to health, safety and
wellbeing – which focuses on working safely or not
at all, and supporting the wellbeing of employees
and residents
• Ryman’s people – supporting, developing and
leading team members
• Ryman’s commitment to the environment and
community – the work Ryman does to protect
the environment and have positive impacts
on local communities
• Ryman’s care of assets and property
– acknowledging the importance of being
a good steward of company information,
property and value
• Ryman’s culture of doing the right thing –
supporting people to raise concerns and speak
up, which is reflected by whistleblowing and
protected disclosure policies, and other tools
to protect employees and encourage reporting
• Ryman’s approach to business – the rules
around accepting gifts and other benefits,
and how to deal with conflicts of interest and
preserve confidentiality
• Ryman’s compliance culture – complying with
the law and reporting breaches.
Each of the Board and committee charter or terms
of reference reflect a commitment to embed the
principles of ethical conduct.
Within Ryman, there are a suite of policies that are
ethics and conduct related. Two of the key policies
are noted below.
Whistleblower policy
Ryman is committed to high standards of ethical,
moral and legal business conduct at all times and
has an independent external whistleblower service
for disclosures.
Financial product trading policy
Ryman supports the integrity of New Zealand’s
financial markets and has a financial product trading
policy that is available on its website.
125
Statement of corporate governance
NZX PRINCIPLE 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE
“To ensure an effective Board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge,
experience and perspectives.”
Board charter
The Ryman Board has adopted a charter which
sets out the Board’s role and responsibilities.
Aligned to the charter, the Board is committed to
maintaining the highest standards of governance,
operational quality and accountability in order to
promote investor and resident confidence.
The Board’s principle responsibility is to approve
the strategic direction and operating frameworks
that govern the management of the business and
oversee the effective operation of Ryman, by the
Chief Executive Officer and management. The Board’s
role is to represent the interests of stakeholders and
ensure that the operations of Ryman are managed,
in order to achieve Ryman’s strategic and business
objectives, within a framework of regulatory and
ethical compliance.
Management gives effect to the strategy set by the
Board, and undertakes day-to-day operations of the
businesses of Ryman, in accordance with the relevant
Board approved delegations of authority.
This Board charter is available on the Ryman website.
Composition of the Board
The Board holds the view that the optimal size for
the Ryman Board is seven to eight directors. As at
31 March 2025, Ryman had seven non-executive
directors, all of whom were assessed as being
independent.
From 22 April 2024 to 28 November 2024, Director
Dean Hamilton assumed the role of Executive Chair
while the search for a new Chief Executive Officer
was underway. The Board determined that Director
Dean Hamilton would be a non-independent director
while he was the Executive Chair. After ceasing as
Executive Chair, the Board determined that Director
Dean Hamilton would resume his role as Chair and as
an independent director.
Director nominations and appointments
The Governance and Nominations committee
considers candidates and recommends directors
to the Board for nomination. All members of the
Governance and Nominations committee are
assessed as independent by the Board.
When considering a candidate to act as a director, the
Governance and Nominations committee takes into
account factors including the commercial experience
and qualifications of the candidate, their independence,
diversity of skills and thought, and the overall alignment
of a potential candidate’s skills against the Board’s skills
matrix and the collective need of the Board at the time.
The committee may use external search firms to assist
with identifying candidates.
A number of probity checks are undertaken before
appointing a director and putting forward to shareholders
a candidate for election as a director.
Under the Listing Rules, every director must stand
for re-election at the end of three years or the third
Annual Meeting after their appointment, whichever
is later. These directors may offer themselves for
re-election. Directors appointed by the Board
must retire at the next Annual Meeting following
their appointment. These directors may then offer
themselves for election.
The Board and its committees critically evaluate
their own performance and their own processes
and procedures.
When considering the re-election of an existing director,
the Governance and Nominations committee also
considers the length of service of the director and the
director’s performance on the Board. It is the Board’s
general expectation that a non-executive director will
hold office for a total period of approximately nine years.
RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025
Statement of corporate governance
126
Written agreement
On appointment, each director signs a written agreement
that includes information about their role and duties,
conflicts of interest, time commitments, term of
appointment, remuneration and insurance, access to
information and disclosure and compliance obligations.
Directors’ and officers’ insurance and indemnity
As provided for, under its constitution, Ryman has in
place a policy of implementing directors’ and officers’
liability insurance, and a Deed of Indemnity, which is
entered into with all directors.
Director information
The criteria for determining whether directors are
independent are set out in the Board charter, which
has regard to the guidance provided in the Code.
As at 31 March 2025, the Board has assessed all of the
current directors as independent for the purposes of
recommendation 2.4 of the Code.
Director biographies can be found on the Ryman
website and at pages 30–31 of this Annual Report.
Additionally, attendance at meetings and committee
membership is set out on page 133, and the interests
of each director in Ryman’s securities at page 149.
Directors’ skills and experience
The Board collectively has a mix of skills, knowledge,
experience, and diversity that enhances the Board’s
operations and assists directors in meeting their
responsibilities and objectives. The Board considers
that the current directors collectively have the depth
of expertise, understanding and experience necessary
to govern Ryman. Set out on the following page is a
summary of the skills among the directors of the Board.

Diversity
Ryman’s approach to diversity is to continually
develop a work environment that supports equality
and inclusion, regardless of difference. As part of that,
the Board and management are committed to ensuring
that all eligible people get equal opportunities to
demonstrate they have the right skills and experience
for particular roles. Ryman has set requirements for
the Board or a relevant committee of the Board to set
measurable objectives for achieving diversity.
The diversity policy is available on the Ryman website.
Prior to Claire Higgins retiring on 31 December 2024,
Ryman had gender diversity levels on the Board
exceeding the minimum 30% recommended by the
NZX. As at 31 March 2025, Ryman’s gender diversity
is slightly below 30%. The Board has previously
set a target of 40% for leadership by gender. The
Board will persist in overseeing this and is pleased
with the gender diversity at executive level, which is
57% female. Ryman is committed to maintaining this
target and will continue to prioritise the development
of a robust pipeline of diverse leaders at all levels of
the business to facilitate it.
The gender diversity for Ryman’s leadership roles
at 31 March 2025 is as follows:

As a result of organisational changes carried out in FY25,
Ryman’s assessment of its non-executive leaders has
changed, which prevents a meaningful comparison to
FY24 being carried out.
129
Statement of corporate governance
Induction and training
Directors have the underlying necessary expertise
and skills to strategically guide the Company. All new
directors participate in a formal induction programme
to ensure that they have a working knowledge of
the business and the industry in which it operates.
The programme includes one-on-one meetings with
management and a tour of facilities.
All directors are regularly updated on relevant industry
and company issues. There is an ongoing programme
of presentations to the Board by all business units.
The majority of directors are members of the Institute
of Directors (or overseas equivalent).
Directors undertake various continuous professional
development relevant to their role and may attend
training sessions offered by external providers at
Ryman’s expense to remain current on their duties
as directors.
Assessment of Board performance
The Board has a procedure to regularly assess
director, Board and committee performance. Ryman’s
Board and committee charters include performance
evaluation procedures.
The Board aims to undertake a two-yearly
performance evaluation of itself facilitated by
an external consultant. This review assesses the
performance of the Board, the committees and
individual directors.
The next Board assessment and review is underway,
with a third-party consultant having been appointed
to undertake its review.
Independence of directors and Chair
All of the current Board members are independent
directors in line with the Board charter, which
requires a majority of directors be independent.
As previously disclosed in this statement of corporate
governance, the Chair of the Board was temporarily
deemed to be non-independent for part of FY25
while the search for a new Chief Executive Officer
was underway. He resumed the status of independent
director from 29 November 2024.
Separation of Chair and Chief Executive Officer
It is Ryman’s position that the Chair and Chief
Executive Officer should be different individuals.
As noted, the Company temporarily departed
from this guideline for part of FY25 while Director
Dean Hamilton was Executive Chair. Consistent
with the Board’s commitment to good corporate
governance, the Company established an Executive
Chair Oversight committee of independent directors,
chaired by a lead independent director, to monitor
performance and deal with any areas of conflict
during this transition period.
Independent professional advice
Each director has the right to seek independent
legal and other professional advice (at the Company’s
expense) to assist them in fulfilling their duties and
responsibilities, providing they have the prior approval
of the Chair. That advice can be about any aspect of
the Company’s operations and undertakings. Advice
may also be sought from the Company Secretary at
any time.

NZX PRINCIPLE 3 – BOARD COMMITTEES
“The Board should use committees where this will enhance its effectiveness in key areas,
while still retaining Board responsibility.”
Committees play an important role in Ryman’s governance framework, allowing a subset of the Board to focus on
a particular area of importance for the Company, while still ensuring the Board as a whole remains responsible for
decision-making.
The Ryman Board has four standing permanent committees:
• Audit, Finance and Risk
• People, Safety and Remuneration
• Clinical Governance
• Governance and Nominations.
The responsibilities of each of the committees is identified below.
Each committee operates under specific terms of reference approved by the Board, which is available on the
Company’s website. Recommendations are made by a committee to the Board and, where appropriate, approved
by the Board.
In addition to the permanent standing committees, the Board may from time-to-time establish specific project
related committees.
For the year in review, the following additional committees were established:
• The Chief Executive Officer Search committee, which operated from April 2024 to November 2024, and was
tasked with overseeing the process of recruiting a new Chief Executive Officer for Ryman (noting that the
ultimate responsibility of appointing the individual to this role, was retained by the full Board).
• The Executive Chair Oversight committee, which operated from April 2024 to November 2024, and was
tasked with overseeing the performance of Chair Dean Hamilton, who assumed an Executive Chair function,
during the transition period between Chief Executive Officers.
All directors may attend any of the Board committee meetings (other than the Independent Directors’
committee meetings).

and Risk committee will consist of at least three
members, a majority of whom will be independent
directors and all non-executive directors (of which all

from this guideline for part of FY25 while Director
Dean Hamilton (who is also a member of the Audit,
Finance and Risk committee) assumed the role of

Chief Executive Officer.
The Chair of the Audit, Finance and Risk committee
is to be an independent director and appointed by the
Board. The Chair of the committee is not the Chair of
the Board.
At least one member must have accounting or related
financial management expertise. Despite the minimum
requirements of the Code, the Board considers that
all members of the Audit, Finance and Risk committee
have the appropriate level of financial acumen and risk
management experience necessary for the committee
to fulfil its responsibilities.
Attendance outside the committee
The committee generally invites the Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer, external auditor, and
other employees as appropriate to attend Audit,
Finance and Risk committee meetings.
The committee also meets and receives regular
reports from the external auditor, without management
present, to address any matters that arise in
connection with the performance of the auditor’s role.
The committee makes recommendations for
appointing an external auditor to ensure that they are
independent and to ensure that the auditor provides
for a five-yearly rotation of the lead audit partner.
The committee also provides a forum for effective
communication between the Board and Ryman’s
external auditor.
The committee’s terms of reference are available
on our website.
People, Safety and Remuneration committee
The terms of reference require that the People,
Safety and Remuneration committee will consist of
at least three members, a majority of whom will be
independent directors (of which all members are
independent as at 31 March 2025).
The appointment and removal of members will be the
responsibility of the Board and the Board will appoint a
Chair from among the members of the committee, who
must be an independent director.
The committee’s terms of reference are available on
our website.
Attendance outside the committee
The committee generally invites the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief of People and Safety Officer
to attend the meeting. The committee will also invite
members of management and such other persons
(and this may include external advisers), as it considers
necessary to provide appropriate information and
advice to the committee.
Clinical Governance committee
The terms of reference provide that the Clinical
Governance committee will consist of members
of the Board and external clinical experts who are

a Chair from among the members of the committee.
The committee’s terms of reference are available on

Governance and Nominations committee
The terms of reference require that the Governance
and Nominations committee will consist of at
least three members, a majority of whom will be

reviews general governance policies and frameworks
and recommends changes to the Board, committees,
and advises on Chief Executive Officer succession.
The committee’s terms of reference are available on
our website.
Other committees
Takeover protocols and the Independent
Directors’ committee
The Independent Directors’ committee comprises all
independent directors and is convened as needed to
address significant conflicts of interest and any other
matter is referred by the Board. It is also convened if a
notice of takeover is received by the Company or if a
scheme of arrangement is considered with a potential
merger party.
Consistent with the Code, the Board has established
appropriate protocols that set out the procedure to
be followed if there is a takeover offer. The Board
has adopted a takeover protocol, which sets out the
procedure to be followed in the event a takeover
offer for Ryman is made or it is foreseeable that an
offer may be imminent. The protocol provides for
the Independent Directors’ committee to be formed,
comprising independent directors of Ryman, to
oversee the takeover process. The protocol also
governs the procedure for communications with the
bidder, the market, and investors.
The committee’s terms of reference are available on
our website.

135
Statement of corporate governance
The Board is committed to ensuring that shareholders
and the market are provided with complete and
timely information on the activities of the business
to allow proper accountability between Ryman and
shareholders, employees and other stakeholders.
The Board has overall responsibility for ensuring the
integrity of the Company’s reporting and disclosure.
As a company listed on the NZX Main Board, Ryman
has an obligation to comply with the disclosure
requirements of the Listing Rules. These requirements
aim to provide equal access for all investors and
potential investors and material, price-sensitive
information concerning issuers and their financial
products. This in turn promotes confidence in
the market.
Market disclosure policy
Ryman’s market disclosure policy outlines the
obligations of Ryman and relevant Ryman personnel
in satisfying the disclosure requirements. It also
covers other related matters, including external
communications by Ryman.
Where potentially material information is received,
this is escalated to the relevant SET member. The
SET member will then promptly refer the matter to the
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and/or
the General Counsel.
The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
and General Counsel will then meet to consider the
potentially material information. If they form the
view that the information is material information
then, having regard to the obligations to promptly
disclose, the Chair of the Board will be informed of
the potentially material information, with a view to,
where possible and if appropriate, promptly convening
the Board.
Where disclosure is required, the appropriate market
release will be prepared for prompt release. Final
approval of any release will be provided by the
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer
and General Counsel.
Depending on where the information has
originated, the need for a potential trading halt
will also be considered.
In addition, the Board considers at each meeting,
matters for disclosure and ensures that any material
decisions made at Board meetings are announced on
a timely basis.
NZX PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE
“The Board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting, and in the timeliness
and balance of corporate disclosures.”
RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025
Statement of corporate governance

Key governance documents
Ryman publishes key governance documents on the
investor centre within our website, which includes but
is not limited to, the following:
• Code of ethics
• Financial product trading policy
• Board charters and committee terms of reference
• Diversity policy
• Remuneration policy
• Market disclosure policy.
Financial reporting
Ryman is committed to promoting shareholder
confidence through open, timely and accurate
market communication.
The Audit, Finance and Risk committee has a
delegated responsibility from the Board in relation to
financial reporting. It assists the Board in discharging
its responsibilities with respect to external financial
reporting, internal controls, risk-management
frameworks and the monitoring of compliance with
those frameworks, and compliance with applicable
laws, regulations and standards.
The market disclosure policy sets out the Board’s
and management’s responsibilities for disclosure
and communication, and procedures for managing
this obligation.
All announcements assessed as being material are
made to the NZX and reports issued are also posted
on the Company’s website.
Non-financial reporting
Ryman’s Annual Report provides both financial and
non-financial information. Alongside annual and interim
financial reporting, Ryman also prepares an investor
presentation which outlines activity and key metrics for
the period in review, as well as providing forward looking
information on strategic initiatives.
The Annual Report is produced using the principles
of
Integrated Reporting <IR>. An integrated report
provides more information than traditional reporting
on the Company’s business model and how Ryman
creates value over time. Ryman includes non-financial
disclosures such as those relating to environmental, social

Statement of corporate governance
NZX PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION
“The remuneration of directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable.”
Remuneration approach
Ryman recognises that shareholders have an
interest in remuneration, whether that be director
or executive, and that transparency in this area is
important to support shareholder confidence. As
reflected in the remuneration policy, Ryman believes
quality, committed and motivated people are critical
to Ryman’s success, and underpin delivery on
strategic goals, the creation of shareholder value,
and importantly, ensuring exceptional experiences
and care for residents.
Remuneration governance
The remuneration of directors and the SET is reviewed
by the People, Safety and Remuneration committee.
Please refer to Principle 3 for a discussion on the
governance arrangements pertaining to remuneration
and the People, Safety and Remuneration committee.
The committee’s responsibilities include reviewing
and recommending changes to Ryman’s people and
remuneration policies and practices, including health,
safety and wellbeing policies and practices, together
with reviewing and recommending changes to the
remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and other
senior executives and Ryman’s directors’ fees.
Further details on remuneration are provided on page 144
in the Remuneration report of this Annual Report.

NZX PRINCIPLE 6 – RISK MANAGEMENT
“Directors should have a sound understanding of the material risks faced by the issuer and how
to manage them. The Board should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes
that identify and manage potential and material risks.”
Ryman is committed to managing all material risks
arising from our activities, in accordance with stated
policies. The Board has overall responsibility for
overseeing the management of these risks.
Risk Management Framework
Ryman’s Group Risk Management Framework adopts
the principles of the ISO 31000:2018 risk-management
guideline. The aim of the framework is to identify,
assess, manage, monitor and report on the material
risks faced by Ryman so that we can achieve our
objectives and protect staff and residents. Taking
an integrated risk-management approach ensures
both the alignment with and consistency of activities
relating to risk management. Material risks, together
with Ryman’s approach to risk management, are
regularly reported to the Board through the Audit,
Finance and Risk committee.
The framework provides the guardrails to support
greater risk awareness, understanding and
consistency across the organisation. This framework
also allows for enhanced reporting of the material
risks facing Ryman and greater oversight of the
effectiveness of the control environment in managing
those risk exposures within appetite.
Risk-management guidelines and standards
support team members to identify, assess, monitor
and manage business risks. The responsibility
for operational risk management sits with the
managers in the individual business units. Ryman’s
risk-management and assurance processes support
this through group functions and are ultimately
overseen by the SET and the Board.
Key risks
Within this framework, Ryman has identified the
following eleven material risk categories, including:
• Brand risk
• Climate risk
• Clinical risk
• Development, design and construction risk
• Data risk
• Financial risk
• Health, safety and wellbeing risk
• Operational and compliance risk
• People and capability risk
• Supplier risk
• Strategic risk.
Ryman operates an extensive internal accreditation
programme that addresses issues such as
service delivery, health, safety and wellbeing, and
administration. Clinical and health and safety audits
are undertaken regularly. The results of these audits
and critical indicators are regularly reported to the
relevant Board committees and elevated to the Board
where appropriate. Health, safety and wellbeing
are also discussed regularly through the Board
committees and at Board, SET, construction team and
operational team meetings. Regular reporting of key
metrics assists teams to manage these risks.
139
Statement of corporate governance
NZX PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS
“The Board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.”
External audit
The Audit, Finance and Risk committee is responsible
for recommending the appointment and removal of
the external auditor, ensuring their independence and
regularly monitoring and reviewing audit practices.
An external auditor independence policy (the Policy)
provides guidance on the provision of external audit
services to ensure the independence of the external
auditor, in both fact and appearance, such that
Ryman’s external financial reporting is viewed as
being highly reliable and credible. The Policy sets out
a framework that ensures the independence of the
external auditor, other assurance services that may
be provided, and prohibited non-assurance services.
The Audit, Finance and Risk committee makes
recommendations to the Board on the appointment
of the external auditor as set out in its charter (terms
of reference) and the Policy.
The Policy requires audit partner rotation at least
every five years with a minimum cooling-off period of
five years. Other key audit team members considered
to be making key decisions or judgements on matters
significant to the audit are required to rotate every
seven years with a minimum cooling-off period of two
years. The rotation of the audit firm will be tendered
and formally assessed by the Audit, Finance and
Risk committee at least every 10 years, with the
incumbent external auditor eligible to participate
in the tender process.
The current auditor is Samuel Shuttleworth from
PwC, who was appointed in 2024 for the financial year
ended 31 March 2025.
The Audit, Finance and Risk committee routinely
meets with Ryman’s external auditor without
management present.
Ryman’s external auditor attends the Company’s
Annual Meeting and is available to answer questions
about the conduct of its audit and the preparation
and content of the audit report.
Internal audit
Ryman maintains an internal audit function which
is ultimately accountable to the Board through the
Audit, Finance and Risk committee. The internal audit
function is governed by an internal audit charter,
which sets out the objectives and scope of internal
audit activities.
The primary objective of internal audits is to
evaluate and improve the effectiveness of key
risk-management, control and governance processes.
Ryman’s internal audit approach is based on the
principle of partnering with the business in order
to add value. The internal audit plan is set annually
by the Audit, Finance and Risk committee. The
committee meets on a regular basis to consider
financial reporting, risk management, internal control
and corporate governance matters. The committee
reviews the internal audit findings and opinions, and
the activities of the internal audit function.
Clinical auditors and health, safety and wellbeing
officers routinely monitor and evaluate the
effectiveness of controls across the Group. Detailed
reports on these activities and findings are regularly
presented to the Clinical Governance committee and
the People, Safety and Remuneration committee.

NZX PRINCIPLE 8 – SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND RELATIONS
“The Board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster constructive relationships
with shareholders that encourage them to engage with the issuer.”
Information for shareholders
The Company seeks to ensure that investors
understand our activities by communicating
effectively with them and providing access to
clear and balanced information.
The Company website provides an overview of the
business and a range of information about Ryman,
including details of operational sites, latest news,
investor information, key corporate governance
information, significant NZX announcements and
profiles of the directors and the SET.
Previous Annual Reports, financial statements and
results presentations are also available on our website.
Communicating with shareholders
Ryman has a dedicated Head of Investor Relations
and a General Manager Corporate Affairs and
Communications. A key goal of these two roles is to
ensure that Ryman’s shareholders and bondholders
are kept informed.
Contact details for the Head of Investor Relations can
be found in the Contact Us section of our website.
Ryman offers shareholders the option of sending
and receiving communications electronically. To
encourage shareholder engagement, Ryman facilitates
participation in shareholder meetings through both
physical and virtual attendance options. Additionally,
Ryman provides webcasts of meetings, along with
presentations and addresses by the directors and
Chief Executive Officer on our website.
Ryman’s Notice of Meeting provides shareholders
with the information to engage virtually with meetings,
including through voting and submitting questions.
Shareholder voting rights
Shareholders can vote on major decisions of the
Company in line with the requirements set out in
the Companies Act and the Listing Rules.
Voting on all resolutions at Ryman’s shareholder
meetings is conducted by poll. This provides
shareholders with a one share, one vote say on all
resolutions (subject to any voting restrictions applying
under the Listing Rules).
Notice of Annual Meeting
Ryman sends the notice of the Annual Meeting
to all shareholders, and publishes it on the
Company website.

Statement of corporate governance
Remuneration report
This report focuses on the remuneration of Ryman’s
directors and SET.
Directors
The directors of Ryman as at 31 March 2025 were
Dean Hamilton, Anthony Leighs, Paula Jeffs,
James Miller, Kate Munnings, David Pitman and
Scott Pritchard.
Claire Higgins retired on 31 December 2024 and
Anthony Leighs has announced he is retiring at the
2025 Annual Meeting.
Senior executives
The SET as at 31 March 2025 comprised Naomi James,
Rob Woodgate, Chris Evans, Rick Davies, Di Walsh,
Marsha Cadman and Marie Bonnemaison.
Deborah Marris, Cheyne Chalmers and Cameron
Holland left Ryman in September 2024 as part of
the organisational change.
Remuneration governance
The Board is assisted in the delivery of its governance
obligations in relation to remuneration by the People,
Safety and Remuneration committee, a standing
committee of the Board. The committee’s role is
set out in its terms of reference and, in relation to
remuneration, is to review and recommend to the
Board for approval all components of the remuneration
of the Chief Executive Officer, to review and
recommend to the Board for approval all components
of the remuneration for the SET as recommended by
the Chief Executive Officer on an annual basis and to
make recommendations in relation to the distribution
of the shareholder-approved directors’ fee pool.
Further details on the governance arrangements
pertaining to remuneration are set out on page 138.
Remuneration policy
Ryman’s executive remuneration framework is based
on a total potential on-target remuneration package
comprising fixed remuneration (base salary and
applicable KiwiSaver or superannuation), a short-term
incentive (STI), paid in cash, and a long-term incentive
(LTI), issued as performance share rights.
The STI for the SET (including the Chief Executive
Officer) is an on target amount (excluding KiwiSaver
and superannuation) that is 50% of base remuneration
with a stretch target of 120% (equivalent to 60% of
base salary). The STI KPIs are determined annually
by the Board in line with the Company’s business plan,
strategic priorities and in consultation with the SET.
The LTI for the SET allows a participant to receive
a grant of performance share rights equivalent to
40% of base remuneration (100% in respect of the
Chief Executive Officer), with two equally weighted
performance measures:
1. 50% Absolute Total Shareholder Return; and
2. 50% Relative Total Shareholder Return
(compared to S&P/NZX50 Index).
A copy of Ryman’s senior executive and director
remuneration policy is available on our website.
Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration comprises a base salary and
applicable KiwiSaver or superannuation contributions
as required under relevant legislation. The base salary
is an annualised fixed component paid in cash. It is
set based on factors including role size, performance
and external market data, referenced from relevant
comparator groups.
RYMAN HEALTHCARE ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Remuneration report
STI plan
The STI plan is an at-risk cash incentive aligned
with the achievement of the Company’s short-term
strategic goals, typically within a financial year
(1 April to 31 March).
Expressed as a percentage of base salary, the STI is
designed to incentivise the achievement of targets
against measures that drive strategic priorities
and performance. Such factors include financial
performance targets, operational achievement
targets and cultural, safety and sustainability targets.
For FY25, the STI was structured as:
• 60% of the STI related to financial performance
against the Company’s key financial metrics:
cash flow from existing operations, cash flow
from development activity and IFRS profit before
tax and fair-value movements.
• 25% of the STI was on individual performance
against key transformation initiatives, including
improved village profitability, new development
efficiency and support services efficiency.
• 15% of the STI was based on resident
satisfaction (net promoter score), health and
safety (total recordable injury frequency rate)
and sustainability (progress against path to
decarbonisation).
In FY25, none of the targets set for financial
performance were achieved. The targets for resident
satisfaction, health and safety and sustainability
were all achieved. Given the financial performance
of the Company, the Board determined to exercise
its discretion to only make payment in respect of
the 15% of STI relating to resident satisfaction,
health and safety and sustainability, recognising the
importance of maintaining a focus on these aspects
of performance through a period of change.
Incoming Chief Executive Officer Naomi James, who
commenced in November 2024, has declined any
STI payment in respect of FY25 given the financial
performance of the Company and recognising the
financial outcomes experienced by shareholders
over the last 12 months.
In FY26, the Board has approved a Company
scorecard which will be used to determine the pool
available for payment of STI, with pay-out from the
pool based on individual performance.
The Company scorecard comprises a mix of financial
(80% weighting) and non-financial (20% weighting)
measures. These weightings reflect the priority
of delivering significant improvement in financial
performance, while maintaining or improving
non-financial business performance and reputation.
The financial targets relate to cash flow from existing
operations, cash flow from development operations,
vacant retirement unit stock, ORA pay out balance and
cash improvements in operating performance (with
over 90% relating to targeted expenditure reductions).
Non-financial targets relate to safety, resident/family
NPS and high-performance development.
The Chief Executive Officer’s STI will be determined
by performance against the Company scorecard
(90%) and on strategy and growth (10%), with the
target to develop a Board-approved growth strategy
and to transition the company’s design, development
and construction function to a predominantly
outsourced model.
LTI plan
The LTI plan is an at-risk incentive designed to reward
sustained long-term-per-share shareholder value
creation through the achievement of key performance
measures over a three-year period.
The plan has been offered to the SET as the most
senior officers of the organisation and presents an
incentive aligned with long-term performance of
the Company.
SET are required to build over time, and maintain,
a minimum holding in the Company’s ordinary shares
equivalent to 50% of their annual base salary (100% in
respect of the Chief Executive Officer).
The LTI plan is an annual equity-based plan with
performance measures over a three-year period
that are aligned with shareholder value. The LTI plan
will grant participants performance rights that will, if
hurdles are achieved, vest as Ryman shares. Payment
in shares is expected to encourage retention and
sustainable value creation.

The Board may exercise its discretion to adjust STI and LTI outcomes based on the achievements, should the
Board determine that such action is in the best interests of shareholders and stakeholders.
Director remuneration
Directors are remunerated by way of fees. The fee pool is approved by shareholders at the Annual Meeting as
required under the NZX Listing Rules. The Board is then responsible for setting individual directors’ fees in line with
the approved pool and the Listing Rules. The director fee pool currently stands at $1.5 million. Changes to the pool
were last approved by shareholders at the 2021 Annual Meeting. The details of individual director remuneration
are set out in this report.
In FY24 the Board adopted a new Non-Executive Directors’ Share Purchase Plan (Plan) that requires directors
to hold a minimum number of shares to better align directors’ interests with those of the shareholders. Each
director is expected to acquire shares, equivalent to their annual base director fees within the first five years of
their appointment. The expectation is that the directors hold the minimum number of shares for the remaining
terms of their appointments in accordance with the Plan. Directors’ shareholding are shown on page 152 of this
Annual Report.
Chief Executive Officer remuneration
Former Group Chief Executive Officer Richard Umbers resigned on 19 April 2024. His exit package, as set out
in last year’s Annual Report, comprised: the base salary; $650,000 for notice; $650,000 for severance; and
$225,000 for the FY24 STI out of a possible maximum award of $690,000. No medium-term incentive was paid
for FY24 out of a total possible payment of $1.15 million. Mr Umbers gave up all future rights upon his resignation.
Director Dean Hamilton was Executive Chair from April 2024 until November 2024. Details of Dean Hamilton’s
remuneration while acting as Executive Chair are set out on page 148.

delegations from the Board, it included representatives of the Board as members, being Dean Hamilton,
David Pitman and Kate Munnings. In the instance of David Pitman and Kate Munnings, additional fees were
deemed appropriate for the additional time commitments provided, and calculated at the same rate as Board

of $9,167 to each of Kate Munnings and David Pitman.
Executive Chair remuneration
The Chair of Ryman, Dean Hamilton was appointed Executive Chair on 22 April 2024 for the period until

Director Dean Hamilton is a director of this entity and several related entities, which are investment vehicles for the Farmer family’s
private investments. One such trust holds a 10% equity interest in an entity called BeGroup, which is a smaller-scale New Zealand
retirement village owner. The trust does not have a director on BeGroup and Dean Hamilton manages the conflict by excusing
himself in Tappenden meetings, from any trust discussions related to the investment in BeGroup. There are no current or intended
transactions between Ryman and BeGroup and the Board of Ryman is satisfied with this approach and management of the
potential conflict of interests.

Statement of compliance
Ryman Healthcare Limited is a climate reporting entity under the Financial
Markets Conduct Act 2013. This Climate-Related Disclosures Report
covers the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. These disclosures are
prepared in accordance with Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards
(NZCS) issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB), specifically:
• NZCS 1: Climate-Related Disclosures
• NZCS 2: Adoption of Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards
• NZCS 3: General Requirements for Climate-Related Disclosures.
In preparing our Climate-Related Disclosures, Ryman has elected to use
the following adoption provisions:
• Adoption provision 2: Anticipated financial impacts
This exempts Ryman from disclosing the anticipated financial impact
of climate-related risks and opportunities and the time horizons over
which the risks and opportunities are expected to occur. Ryman has
applied this provision while we continue to build internal capability and
processes to more accurately assess and quantify these impacts.
• Adoption provision 4: Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions
This exempts Ryman from disclosing all or a selected subset of our
Scope 3 GHG emissions. Ryman has disclosed Scope 3 emissions
relating to business travel and waste not including wastewater or waste
from our independent townhouses collected by council services. A full
list of sources for which we have applied the adoption provision are
outlined on page 21.
• Adoption provision 6: Comparatives for metrics
This exempts Ryman from the requirement to disclose comparative
information for the two preceding reporting periods. As FY24 was our
first year of reporting, we have applied the provision to provide one year
of comparative information for each metric.
• Adoptive provision 7: Analysis of trends
This exempts Ryman from disclosing analysis of the main trends from
a comparison of each metric from previous reporting periods to the
current reporting period.
Welcome to our 2025 Climate-Related Disclosures Report
Mitigating climate-related risks supports the wellbeing and experience of our
residents, protects the capital provided by shareholders and lenders, and
ensures that investment in our new and existing assets is sustainable. Our risk
management processes address the potential impacts of climate change on
property values, insurance costs, and long-term operational resilience.
As our business undertakes a significant transformation programme, we
remain committed to strengthening the climate resilience of our villages and
our operations. A key milestone in significantly reducing our carbon footprint
is the Ryman Healthcare Solar Farm, Te Papa Reireia. You can read more
about this on page 5.
In addition, we are pleased to commence the procurement of GreenPower
through our Australian energy supplier for our Australian villages, supporting
the transition to certified renewable electricity sources.
Together, these initiatives are making a difference to our emissions and are
building future resilience into our operations, in the face of a changing climate.
Since our FY21 baseline, we’ve achieved a 41% reduction in our Scope 1 and 2
market-based emissions, despite significant growth of our organisation through
the delivery of new villages. By lessening emissions intensity while expanding
our operations, we’re making steady, meaningful progress toward our Science
Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment and a low-emissions future.
This report is approved on behalf of Ryman Healthcare Limited on
18 June 2025.

Board governance
Ryman is dedicated to establishing strong frameworks and procedures
to tackle challenges and leverage opportunities related to climate change.
By implementing effective governance practices, we are working to
navigate the intricacies of climate change.
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing climate-related risks
and opportunities, ensuring Ryman has appropriate processes and systems
in place to assess and manage climate risks and meet the requirements of
the NZCS.
The Board has assigned responsibility to the Audit, Finance, and Risk
committee (AFRC) to oversee:
• Regulatory compliance: Ensuring climate-related risks and
opportunities are reported in accordance with regulatory obligations
• Risk management processes: Overseeing the systems and controls
in place to identify, assess, and manage climate-related risks
• Ongoing reviews: Conducting regular evaluations of climate-related
risk management processes to align with changes in our business
strategy, external environment, and evolving climate risk knowledge
• Independent assurance: Ensuring Ryman’s GHG emissions
reporting as disclosed in the Climate-Related Disclosures are
independently assured.
Ryman resident Peter with his family in the village gardens.
The AFRC convenes at least four times per year and receives reporting
from Ryman's Senior Executive Team (SET) on the items above, along
with reports on our performance against key climate-related metrics
and targets.
The Board is responsible for approving Ryman's strategy, including our
sustainability strategy and climate change risk management planning.
Ryman’s first formal sustainability strategy was approved in 2022. We now
have new governance in place to ensure that our sustainability strategy
delivers meaningful social and environmental outcomes. The Board
continues to review and refine forward-looking initiatives and planning
as part of its ongoing strategic oversight.
The Board reviews progress towards our sustainability and climate goals
on an annual basis, assessing performance against key targets. Additionally,
the Board receives quarterly risk reports, which include climate-related
risks, ensuring that climate considerations are regularly assessed as part
of Ryman’s Group Risk Management Framework.
The Board comprises several directors with an understanding of the risks
and opportunities presented by climate change. A summary of the Board’s
skill set can be found on page 128 of our Annual Report. Several directors
have undertaken specific climate-related training, including formal courses,
attending Climate Governance Conferences and participating in the
Institute of Director’s Chapter Zero (a network that provides upskilling for
non-executive directors on climate action), with one director serving on its
Board. Some directors are also involved in sustainability and climate-related
strategy through roles outside of Ryman.

Management’s role
Ryman’s SET meet on a weekly basis. They are responsible for overseeing
climate-related risks and opportunities while driving the implementation
of the company’s sustainability strategy. The SET ensures that all business
units identify, assess, and monitor climate-related risks and opportunities,
in line with Ryman’s Group Risk Management Framework. This includes:
• Deploying suitable risk mitigation strategies
• Implementing sustainability initiatives that align with performance
targets and agreed strategic initiatives.
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer review all reports
and papers relating to material climate-related risks and opportunities
before these are submitted to the AFRC. Three members of our SET have
specific responsibilities related to climate risks and opportunities.

Ryman Healthcare Solar Farm, Te Papa Reireia
Construction is nearly complete on the Ryman Healthcare Solar Farm, Te Papa Reireia a 21 MW solar
array near Maungatūroto in Northland. The project sets a new benchmark for renewable energy use in
New Zealand’s aged care sector.
Developed in partnership with Harbour Infrastructure, the solar farm will generate around 32 GWh of
electricity each year and help power our New Zealand villages. In FY25, our electricity usage across our
New Zealand villages was approximately 53 GWh, meaning the solar farm could supply around 66%
of near-term future needs. The project is backed by an innovative power purchase agreement (PPA)
between Mercury NZ and Harbour, with a unique ‘sleeving’ arrangement that enables 100% of the energy
generated to be attributed to Ryman.
We’re excited to see Te Papa Reireia nearing completion, a practical step towards low-emissions energy
use in our operations.
Image: Ryman team members Rob Woodgate and Byron Hoare review build progress.
Climate Steering Group
Ryman’s Climate Steering Group (CSG) meets six times a year to ensure climate-related risks and opportunities
are fully integrated into decision-making and business processes, in alignment with the requirements of the
Climate-Related Disclosure framework.
The CSG comprises members of the SET with defined climate responsibilities, as well as subject matter experts
from across the business, identified in Figure 1 and the Sustainability Manager acts as the secretariat for the CSG.
The core responsibilities of the CSG include:
• Tracking performance against climate-related metrics and targets, including GHG emissions
• Overseeing progress on Ryman’s climate work plan
• Evaluating and providing feedback on projects within Ryman’s emissions reduction plan
• Identifying and assessing emerging climate-related risks and opportunities.
Remuneration
For FY25, short-term incentives (STIs) for all SET members included a 15% component covering non-financial
performance, which incorporated measures relating to sustainability, customer outcomes, and safety. The
sustainability portion made up 5% of total potential incentive earnings and covers a range of environmental, social,
and governance factors, including progress on climate-related initiatives and Ryman’s Science Based Targets (SBTs).
Performance is evaluated during the annual review cycle.

About Ryman
Ryman is an industry leader, proudly owning and operating 49 villages
that offer retirement living and aged care to over 15,000 residents.
Our purpose is to enhance freedom, connection, and wellbeing for people as
we grow older. Our villages provide community and living options that allow
our residents to choose the lifestyle that suits them, with the peace of mind
that they can access industry-leading care in our villages, should they need it.
Transforming Ryman for the future
Over the past year, Ryman has undergone significant changes, both structural
and operational, to support long-term financial and operational sustainability.
Leadership changes have included the appointment of our new CEO, a
substantial Board refresh, and a reduction in our SET from nine to seven
members. The new executive structure is based on functional accountability.
As part of our business transformation programme, Ryman is transitioning
to a fully outsourced design, development, and construction model for
future villages. New village development activity is currently paused
with efforts focused on completing priority villages, selling down existing
unit stock, and reassessing our land bank portfolio. The pause in new
village development supports capital management and allows for a more
disciplined approach to future growth.
Going forward, we are focused on strengthening financial performance
through three core workstreams: releasing cash, sustainable business
improvement, and disciplined growth.
We are committed to improving the operational performance in existing
villages, targeting growth opportunities that are supported by demand. This
includes the future stages of our in-flight projects, our landbank at existing
villages, and opportunities to expand near to existing villages, maximising
asset utilisation of our existing care capacity and facilities.
New village planning is being revised to ensure assets can meet evolving
resident expectations, respond to Government policy changes, and reflect
anticipated demand over their lifespan. The development model is shifting
to reduce peak capital intensity by limiting the number of concurrent
projects and phasing delivery.
Progressing sustainable outcomes
Sustainability continues to be a key focus area. Over the past year,
governance changes have been made that will support sustainable
business performance. In FY26, we will revisit our sustainability goals
to align with our strategic priorities and as we continue to progress with
our transformation plan. This includes reassessing material issues and
reviewing key performance indicators.
As a result of the organisation-wide transformation and capital
reprioritisation, some of the initiatives in last year's disclosure such as
fleet electrification, gas systems replacement and climate leadership
training have not progressed as planned. These have been reconsidered
in the context of the current operating environment and are discussed
further in the Transition planning section of this report.

Current impacts and financial impacts
Material climate-related impacts to our business are monitored on an ongoing basis throughout the year.
Table 2. Summary of climate-related impacts
Description Impact description and financial impacts
Physical impacts
Extreme
weather events
In FY25, Ryman did not experience any material physical impacts attributable to climate
change. However, we undertook further assessment of physical climate risk across our
village portfolio, with a focus on those sites previously identified in our FY24 Climate-Related
Disclosures as being potentially exposed to flooding.
This work included engaging external consultants and allocating internal team resources
to support site-level assessments and stakeholder consultation. A total of $65,000 was
invested in external consultancy services to carry out detailed flood risk reviews and identify
potential mitigation actions for at-risk villages.
Transition impacts
Cost of insuranceRyman's insurance costs increased by 15% in FY25, driven by an increase in our portfolio
value, tight insurance market conditions and a response to recent extreme weather events.
Despite ongoing exposure to physical climate risks, insurance pricing is expected to ease in
FY26, supported by improved market conditions with increased competition among insurers.
Policy and
regulatory change
Ryman continues to respond to increasing regulatory and compliance requirements related
to Climate-Related Disclosures. In FY25, a limited assurance engagement was performed
over the organisation's GHG emissions for the first time, as required under the Financial
Markets Conduct Act 2013. This limited assurance engagement was conducted by PwC
New Zealand.
Preparation is also underway for the measurement and future disclosure of Scope 3
emissions, with a focus on strengthening data collection systems and developing robust
estimation methodologies. From FY26, Ryman will begin reporting with the Australian
Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), which will apply to its Australian operations.
To support these requirements, Ryman has allocated additional internal and external
resources, including engagement of external assurance providers and team members
upskilling to meet evolving regulatory and reporting obligations.
Scenario analysis
In FY23, we engaged external consultants to conduct a robust climate risk, resilience, and opportunity assessment,
supporting the SET and senior leadership team to identify the most material climate-related risks to our business and
better understand their potential impacts. This work, with final approval from the Board, formed the basis for FY24
and this year’s scenario analysis.
To determine materiality, workshops were held with our Climate Working Group (CWG), comprising SET members,
senior leaders, and subject matter experts. These workshops were critical in assessing the relevance, potential
impact, and likelihood of identified climate-related risks and opportunities and prioritising them using our enterprise
risk framework. The process to define our scenario analysis involved the following steps:
1. Identifying climate-related drivers: Through interviews, workshops, and literature review, we assessed key
climate-related factors that may impact Ryman’s strategy and long-term value, considering our full value chain
2. Development of integrated climate scenarios: A framework for climate scenarios and time horizons was
established, aligning with domestic and international guidelines
3. Scenario validation: The CWG reviewed and validated the scenarios
4. Scenario interrogation: The CWG identified and assessed climate-related risks and opportunities, assessed their
materiality based on potential impacts and likelihood using our enterprise risk framework.
Our scenario analysis highlighted material climate-related risks and opportunities:
• Material risks: Factors that could significantly impact operations, strategy, and financial planning if not
effectively managed
• Material opportunities: Initiatives that strengthen financial performance while reducing environmental impact.
These were prioritised based on relevance, potential impact, and probability, though their timing and full extent
remain uncertain.
Risks and opportunities were categorised as:
• Physical risks: Including extreme weather events, long-term climate shifts, and sea-level rise
• Transition risks: Arising from policy, legal, technology, market, and reputational changes in the shift to
a low-emissions economy.
Our CSG further refined and consolidated these findings.

Table 3. Summary of Ryman’s climate scenarios
1
NGFS: Used to direct assumptions about overall policy ambitions and broad policy trends, designed for the financial system which dictates many of the transition risks for the
environment that Ryman operates within.
2
RCPs: These determine the radiative forcing of physical hazards in the future. The RCP selection closely matches the NGFS policy ambitions for warming.
3
SSPs: Selected to provide the social and economic contexts for our scenarios. These include parameters around population, health, institutions, economy and trade and technology.
A range of SSPs were used across the scenarios to ensure Ryman was tested across a range of possible socioeconomic futures.
4
The SPANZ are downscaled global scenarios for the New Zealand context. These provided a framework for describing New Zealand Government policy and wider socioeconomic
outcomes. SPANZ narratives were adjusted to reflect the shift in domestic and international interactions following COVID-19.

The Net Zero scenario reflects a coordinated global transition
aligned with a 1.5°C warming trajectory by 2100, limiting climate
impacts, and avoiding a tipping point of massive polar ice caps
melting and a shutdown of large ocean circulation systems
that maintain a stable and liveable environment. The physical
impacts of climate change are limited, with initial short-term
costs and disruptions from reducing emissions rapidly.
Societies move toward a more inclusive future, respecting
environmental boundaries and reducing inequality. Populations
are healthier, with strong investment in holistic healthcare
and wellbeing. Economies shift toward human wellbeing,
reducing material consumption and resource use. Land use
trends reverse, forests act as carbon sinks, and blue carbon
sequestration expands.
Sustainable technologies such as renewables and carbon
capture are rapidly adopted. In Australia and New Zealand,
investment in climate mitigation and adaptation gains
international recognition. Government policies align with global
efforts, ensuring sustainable land use and urban design.
Though near-term costs are high, long-term benefits emerge,
protecting vulnerable communities and strengthening social
cohesion. The Pacific thrives in global trade, while Australia
and New Zealand begin restoring their natural resource base.
A delayed yet abrupt transition results in up to 2°C warming by
2100, with incremental progress in air pollution and energy access.
A climate tipping point is narrowly avoided.
Economic disparities persist, with slowly converging income levels.
Education remains moderate, and healthcare improvements are
limited. Political stability varies, and global markets remain only
partially connected.
Weak land use regulation leads to environmental degradation, while
technological progress is uneven across regions. In Australia and
New Zealand, climate response is short-term and incremental,
with weak targets and enforcement, leaving the region unprepared
compared to The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) peers.
As extreme climate events in Australia and New Zealand
increase, panic leads to drastic but reactive emissions reductions.
Adaptation is delayed, then rapid and disruptive, with minimal
protections for vulnerable populations.
The Pacific is divided among competing trade blocs, with shifting
alliances based on short-term economic interests. While demand
for green products grows, Australia and New Zealand struggle to
benefit until the 2040s. Economic concerns dominate, outweighing
social and environmental priorities.
With no significant policy shifts, global warming exceeds 3°C
by 2100, causing severe climate impacts. Until 2050, these
remain manageable, but afterward, they intensify uncontrollably,
surpassing climate tipping points. The world continues prioritising
business as usual, with weak mitigation efforts and unaffordable
adaptation costs. Economic disparities widen, leading to social
fragmentation and increased conflict.
A growing divide emerges between high-tech economies and
low-tech, labour-intensive societies, worsening inequality.
Healthcare advancements benefit wealthier regions, but the
majority face worsening conditions. Environmental degradation
accelerates, with carbon capture and geoengineering becoming
primary solutions. The energy sector remains diversified,
investing in both high-carbon fuels and low-carbon alternatives.
Australia and New Zealand fall behind OECD peers, focusing
on costly adaptation while failing to curb emissions effectively.
Carbon markets remain ineffective, and reliance on weak trading
schemes persists. The Pacific economy is dominated by external
influences, with limited demand for sustainable products. Market
disruptions increase, favouring new entrants over established
players due to high adaptation costs.
Economic interests take priority, with water rights auctioned to
the highest bidders, offering minimal protections for ecosystems.

Time horizons
The time horizons for the scenario analysis were chosen to align with our current business planning cycle and
sector-specific climate risk. These scenarios and time horizons provide diverse but realistic views of the future,
helping Ryman assess the potential impacts of climate change on our business model within a relevant planning
period. FY25 marks the final year of our defined short-term horizon. In FY26, we plan to assess whether our scenario
analysis remains fit for purpose, considering the updated sector guidance and exploring how to better integrate this
into business decision-making, particularly to guide risk management focus, inform capital planning, and support
long-term strategic decisions.

Kevin Hickman Village
Ryman’s recent village developments reflect a shift toward more sustainable energy systems. One early
example of this transition is an apartment building at our Kevin Hickman Village, which was constructed
using cross-laminated timber, an innovative approach that significantly reduces reliance on concrete and
structural steel. This reduces embodied carbon and results in a lighter building structure with reduced
foundation and seismic requirements. This village also became the first in our portfolio to be fitted with
a high-efficiency heat pump water system, marking a key step away from conventional gas-powered hot
water heating.
Building on this progress, we are working toward integrating these learnings into the design of future
villages to enhance environmental performance across both construction and operational emissions.

Capital deployment and funding processes to address
identified climate risks
Ryman continues to embed climate risks and opportunities into our capital
deployment and funding processes. Physical climate risks such as storms,
flooding and heat have the potential to create significant impacts on the
business and our operations. For new developments, Ryman conducts a
detailed feasibility analysis that includes projected cash flows from owning
and operating the village over a 30-year period.
For existing villages, Ryman undertakes an annual business planning
and budgeting process to allocate funding for projects, including the
replacement, repair, or upgrade of existing assets and infrastructure. In
response to both climate risks and to drive energy efficiency, during FY25
Ryman began replacing end of life gas boilers with hot water heat pumps at
selected villages and upgrading HVAC systems where required to improve
energy performance. A major focus has also been lighting upgrades, with
more than 25 villages transitioning to LED systems. Hot water system
replacements and flow rebalancing have been implemented to support
water efficiency, while insulation and double-glazing improvements are
being prioritised across older villages.
An important consideration is the potential for increased capital and
operational costs associated with climate risk mitigation and adaptation
measures. These additional costs may need to be factored into future
pricing decisions, and this will be an important element of ongoing business
planning and financial assessments.
Transition plan
As outlined in the strategy section, Ryman is navigating a significant period
of change to improve our financial performance.
As we transform our business, we are building the foundations of a climate
transition plan, rather than delivering a comprehensive strategy. This will
enable us to take practical, prioritised steps to build resilience across our
existing portfolio, and ensure that the foundations are in place for climate
resilient future developments.
The New Zealand Government’s Sapere report
1
into aged care funding
has identified that the sector is underfunded and a substantial increase
in the regulated care price is required. The ability of aged care providers,
including Ryman, to invest in the climate resilience of existing aged care
infrastructure is constrained until this is addressed. A review of the funding
model is currently underway.
In FY26, we will focus on strengthening the resilience and adaptability of
our existing villages. Work is already underway to develop a long-term asset
management plan that will guide climate-related investments where they
are most needed. Building on earlier physical climate risk assessments, our
attention is now shifting toward evaluating whether current assets remain fit
for purpose. Key priorities include enhancing energy efficiency – especially
in older buildings – and ensuring that infrastructure continues to support
resident wellbeing amid evolving climate conditions.
While new village development is not an immediate priority, climate-related
risks and long-term resilience are being factored into future village planning.
This includes considering how assets will perform over their lifespan, how
resident needs may evolve, and what infrastructure standards will be
required to operate effectively in a changing climate. These considerations
align with Ryman’s business transformation programme and support a more
sustainable and financially disciplined approach to development.
Progress toward our science-based target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions
will continue. Village vehicles are transitioning to hybrid models, though
electrifying village vans remains a challenge due to the limited availability of
suitable electric vehicles.
Phasing out end-of-life gas boilers and improving energy efficiency,
particularly in older assets, will continue to be a priority.
From FY26, Ryman will begin reporting on Scope 3 emissions, supported by
the design and implementation of a Scope 3 methodology. While waste from
refurbishments and village operations is already measured, the focus this year
will be on using that data to identify opportunities to reduce waste volumes
and associated emissions, particularly through improved resource efficiency
and operational practices.

Embedding climate into our Group Risk Management Framework
Recognising the importance of navigating our changing environment, our aim is to fortify our operations against
potential disruptions while capitalising on sustainable growth opportunities.
Our climate risk assessments, including the process of identifying specific risks and opportunities posed by
climate change and/or the transition to a low-carbon economy, are integrated into Ryman’s overall Group Risk
Management Framework (GRMF).
The GRMF is based on the principles of ISO 31000:2018 risk management guidelines and is designed to identify
and effectively manage risks that could impact our ability to achieve business objectives. It provides a structured
approach to assessing and managing the level of risk we are prepared to accept in pursuit of these objectives. The
framework ensures alignment and consistency across risk identification, assessment, management, monitoring and
reporting activities. It is also aligned with the New Zealand Institute of Directors’ approach, supporting a more robust
understanding and measurement of risk through both qualitative and quantitative methods. Further details on our
risk management is available on page 139 of the Annual Report.
The GRMF outlines 11 material risk categories, enabling Ryman to prioritise and focus on those risks with the greatest
potential impact to our business. Climate-related risk is one of these categories and encompasses both physical
and transition risks. All material risks, including climate-related risks, are managed in accordance with Ryman’s risk
appetite framework. Risks identified as outside of appetite are escalated and prioritised for action.
The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) relating to climate-risk levels are:
1. Achieving our science-based emissions reduction target within scopes 1 and 2
2. Delivering on scope 3 emissions supplier engagement project
3. Monitoring and maintaining assessed physical climate risk levels to within tolerance.
Updating our climate-related scenario analysis over time
Ryman continues to use the climate scenarios as detailed in its FY24 Climate-Related Disclosures.
Since our initial scenario analysis was conducted before the release of updated construction and healthcare sector
analyses in late 2023 and 2024, we will incorporate these insights as part of our upcoming strategy review to ensure
alignment with the latest sector guidance.
Ryman has several dedicated internal risk management forums where climate-related risks, issues and opportunities
are discussed. This approach supports greater understanding, identification and assessment of climate-related risks
and their potential impact across the enterprise. We have not yet assessed climate-related risks in detail across our
supply chain.
Robot mowers making a quiet difference
We introduced electric robot mowers in several of our villages across New Zealand as part of our wider
efforts to reduce emissions and improve operational efficiency. These battery-powered mowers are a
quieter, low-emissions alternative to traditional petrol and ride-on equipment, helping to cut down fuel
use, noise, and maintenance-related emissions.
Beyond emissions reductions, the mowers deliver additional environmental and operational benefits.
They self-mulch, returning finely cut grass to the soil. This improves lawn health and eliminates the need
to collect and transport grass clippings for offsite disposal, reducing green waste volumes and associated
transport emissions.
And they haven’t gone unnoticed. Residents have taken a real shine to the new additions, with several
villages running naming competitions to welcome them to the team. Favourites so far include David Mowie
and The Lawn Ranger.

GHG emissions standards, boundary and consolidation
approach (subject to assurance)
Ryman’s emissions are calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol
Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. Ryman applies the
operational control consolidation approach, allowing us to focus on
emissions we can influence directly and manage through operational
decision-making.
Our organisational boundary includes all sites operated by Ryman in
New Zealand and Australia. This covers corporate offices, villages,
warehouses, and land bank sites, including villages under construction
and those in development. Ryman’s Independent Living Units (ILUs)
are outside of our operational boundary

.
A diagram of our organisational structure and a map of included sites
are provided in Figures 2 and 3.
Patrick Hogan Village gardener, Mark.

While ILUs are not leased in the conventional sense, they are governed by occupation right agreements (ORAs), which grant residents the right to occupy a unit. Residents are generally responsible
for arranging and paying for their own utilities and would be included in Scope 3 under Category 13 - Downstream leased assets, in line with GHG Protocol guidance. While these emissions fall within
Scope 3, they are not currently reported as part of Ryman’s inventory as we have not yet undertaken a full Scope 3 assessment and we continue to rely on adoption provision 4 of NZCS. Emissions
associated with waste services for ILUs are, however, included under Scope 3, Category 5 – Waste generated in operations. This is because waste management is a service procured by Ryman on
behalf of residents and is covered within the weekly management fee charged to independent residents. Emissions associated with waste from independent townhouses, where waste is collected
through local council services procured by Ryman, are not currently included due to lack of necessary data and sufficiently reliable or accurate estimates are unable to be made. Wastewater
emissions from all independent residents are also excluded for the same reason. In both cases, Ryman has applied Adoption Provision 4 of the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards.

Methodology
For FY25 we applied emissions factors and 100-year global warming
potentials (GWPs) including the following key sources:
• New Zealand Ministry for the Environment. Measuring emissions:
A guide for organisations: 2025
• Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment
and Water. National Greenhouse Accounts Factors: 2024
• New Zealand Gazette, Notice of Approval of Unique Emissions
Factors (2023).
Our data is sourced from supplier invoices, external reports, and internal
reporting. Where complete data sets were unavailable, we applied
assumptions to ensure completeness and consistency.
Full details of the emissions factors, methodologies, and assumptions
used are provided in Appendix 3.
Scope of reporting:
• Scope 1: Direct emissions from natural gas, fertiliser use, petrol, diesel
(stationary and mobile combustion), and refrigerant leakage at sites
under Ryman’s operational control
• Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity across villages,
offices, construction sites, and warehouses (location-based and
market-based)
• Scope 3: Selected indirect emissions from operational waste (landfill
and recycling), construction waste (landfill only), and business travel.
Ryman has applied Adoption provision 4: Scope 3 GHG emissions
to a subset of its Scope 3 emissions including wastewater and waste
from its independent townhouses collected by council services and
has not disclosed the following categories of emission marked as ‘Not

Scope 1: Total, Scope 2 - emissions from imported energy (location-based), and Selected Scope 3: Total emissions for the year ended 31 March 2025 as disclosed in Table 6 have been
included in the scope of PwC's limited assurance engagement. Other than as described as being subject to assurance, no other disclosure in this Climate-Related Disclosure report have
been included in the assurance engagement and are not covered by the limited assurance report issued. Refer to page 31, in our limited assurance report.

Ryman's original FY21 reported Scope 1 emissions were higher than the SBTi validated emissions by 33 tCO2e, due to a difference in emission factors applied to fuel between reported
emissions and the SBTi validated inventory. These were subsequently restated. Refer to footnote 3.
3
Scope 1 emissions for FY21 have been restated to include updated estimated refrigerant leakage. This resulted in an increase of 235 tCO2e, raising total Scope 1 emissions for FY21 from
4,317 tCO2e to 4,552 tCO2e. This adjustment ensures comparability with FY25.
4
Scope 1 emissions for FY24 have been restated to include updated estimated refrigerant leakage. This resulted in an increase of 345 tCO2e, raising total Scope 1 emissions for FY24 from
4,318 tCO2e to 4,663 tCO2e. This adjustment ensures comparability with FY25.
5
Scope 2 market-based emissions are Ryman’s original FY21 reported emissions. These are lower than the SBTi validated emissions by 222 tCO2e, due to a difference in Australian emission
factors between reported emissions and the SBTi validated target.
6
FY24 Scope 3 waste emissions have been restated as the landfill emission factors used in the original calculation did not follow the intended methodology: where landfill-specific factors
were available, they were used; in all other cases, the New Zealand average factor for landfills with gas recovery was applied. This increased reported Scope 3 waste emissions by 294 tCO2e,
from 4,123 tCO2e to 4,417 tCO2e.

Scope 2 emissions (market-based)
• Overall market-based emissions declined from FY24 due to expanded
renewable electricity procurement
1
• In New Zealand, 91% of electricity consumption was matched with
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), enabling zero market-based
emissions for those sites under the GHG Protocol Scope 2 guidance
• In Australia, Ryman procurement of GreenPower through its energy
retailer to Australian villages began in July and supported 67% of
market-based emissions for those locations.
Scope 2 emissions (location-based)
• Overall location-based emissions increased in FY25 from FY24
and our baseline as expected with new village care centres opening
during the year and excludes the renewable energy certificates and
GreenPower purchases.
Scope 3 emissions
• Scope 3 emissions from construction waste declined from prior
year, reflecting the slowdown and pause in new development activity
• Business travel emission also declined significantly year on year
reflecting reduced discretionary travel across the business.
Ryman does not currently purchase carbon offsets and does not apply an
internal carbon price as part of its emissions management approach.
GHG emissions (market-based) performance
summary for FY25
In FY25, Ryman’s total gross reported market-based emissions decreased
by 38% compared to FY24. This reduction reflects the impact of renewable
energy procurement, operational improvements, and lower development
activity during the year.
This progress has occurred alongside continued organisational growth.
Since setting our FY21 baseline, we have opened eight new villages –
including four new main buildings in FY25 – expanding our footprint and
the services we provide. Reducing absolute emissions in this context
reflects the positive impact of targeted emissions reduction efforts and
ongoing improvements to energy performance.
Updates to estimation methodologies and a more clearly defined
organisational boundary have improved data accuracy and have been
consistently applied to the restated FY21 and FY24 numbers. These
changes did not contribute to the reported reduction.
Scope 1 emissions
• Mobile combustion emissions decreased from prior year due to
a reduction in Ryman’s operational vehicle fleet and a pause in
construction activity, leading to lower diesel use at development sites
• Stationary combustion emissions increased marginally from FY24,
reflecting the commissioning of gas heating systems at two newly
opened aged care centres. While Ryman is committed to transitioning
away from fossil fuels, these developments were designed and
consented several years ago, prior to the adoption of our current
sustainability targets. Future builds will aim to align more closely with
our low-emissions objectives
• Fugitive emissions increased in FY25, from FY24 and our baseline,
reflecting growth in our portfolio, particularly in our Australian villages,
many of which use centralised air conditioning systems with higher
refrigerant loads.
1
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for New Zealand sites were tracked and retired via the BraveTrace registry. In Australia, Ryman procured GreenPower through its electricity retailer to match electricity use in village operations. Both BraveTrace-tracked RECs and GreenPower
purchases supported zero market-based emissions for applicable sites in FY25, in accordance with the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance. These instruments and associated data were not included within the scope of limited assurance over Ryman’s FY25 GHG emissions inventory.

Limitations, estimations and exclusions
(subject to assurance)
Ryman continues to refine our emissions reporting to enhance
completeness and accuracy. In FY25, several emissions sources
were either excluded or estimated using proxy methods due to data
availability constraints.
Under Adoption Provision 4 of NZCS 2, the following Scope 3 sources
were excluded from the FY25 inventory:
• Wastewater emissions: Due to limited availability of reliable site-level
discharge data, wastewater emissions have been fully excluded from
the FY25 inventory. A suitable estimation methodology has not yet
been developed to support inclusion of this category
• Waste emissions from independent townhouses collected by council
services: Excluded from Scope 3, as this waste is collected through
council services and falls outside Ryman’s contractor-managed
systems which means we are unable to access activity data and
sufficiently reliable or accurate estimates are unable to be made.
The following sources were included in the FY25 inventory using estimation
methods due to data limitations. While uncertainty is higher, inclusion was
considered appropriate based on materiality and available data:
• Australian natural gas use: For one village, proxy values were based on
per-resident averages from comparable sites; for the other, an average
of available data for that site was used due to incomplete records
• Refrigerant leakage: In both New Zealand and Australia, refrigerant
asset-level charge and top-up data is not consistently available.
Emissions were estimated using default leakage rates and HVAC
equipment inventories
• Waste emissions: Assumptions regarding emissions from landfill
waste carry uncertainty. This uncertainty arises from the use of
assumed waste disposal sites in New Zealand and, in Australia,
from the application of national average emission factors.
These limitations reflect current data constraints, not the expected level
of future reporting. All categories have been flagged for review, with
improvements in data capture and estimation planned for FY26.
Further detail on exclusions, assumptions, and data quality ratings is
provided in the methodology and data quality appendix (see Appendix 3).
Restatement of prior period emissions
Ryman has restated our FY21 and FY24 emissions for the following
methodological and disclosure issues identified during the FY25
inventory process:
• Refrigerant emissions (Australia and New Zealand): Leakage rates
were revised, and emissions have been restated for FY21
1
and FY24
to ensure consistency with FY25
• Waste disposal emissions (New Zealand): Scope 3 emissions have
been restated due to revised emission factors. In FY24, landfill-specific
factors from the New Zealand Gazette were applied to sites without
unique factors. In line with the methodology adopted in FY25, national
default emission factors have now been applied retrospectively to
landfills without unique emissions factors for FY24
• Wastewater emissions: Wastewater emissions were not reported
in FY21 and FY24 when our Climate-Related Disclosures for FY24
indicated their inclusion. As outlined above, there is currently
insufficient reliable data to accurately calculate these emissions.
Wastewater emissions have been, and continue to be, excluded from
the inventory of all periods reported. This restatement revises narrative
only and does not result in changes of reported tCO2e emissions.
These revisions have resulted in an increase in reported FY24 and FY21
emissions and ensure consistency in the treatment of emission sources
across reporting years.

Metrics and targets
We remain committed to our science-based targets, aligned with a 1.5°C pathway and verified by the SBTi. In FY25, we achieved a reduction of 41% in Scope 1
and 2 (market-based) emissions relative to a 2021 baseline bringing us within reach of our 2030 target of a 42% absolute reduction.
Following significant organisational changes, most notably the pause in new village construction and shift to an outsourced model, we have reviewed the
relevance of the climate metrics and targets in our FY24 Climate-Related disclosures. Those previously tied to our internal development pipeline are no longer
appropriate and have been placed on hold. While our core science-based targets remain in place, we are not setting additional targets at this stage and are
reassessing which indicators best support our updated business strategy and transition planning.
We have ongoing physical climate risk assessments across our owned and operated villages.
In parallel, supplier engagement will be a key area of focus for FY26 as we measure our full Scope 3 emissions and explore the feasibility of future
reduction targets.
To support internal resourcing and focus on regulatory priorities, we have opted not to participate in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) this year.

Six years of climate-friendly composting at Evelyn Page Village
Ryman's Evelyn Page Retirement Village has reached two impressive milestones as part of its long-standing
involvement in the City to Farm composting initiative, and it’s a celebration of both environmental impact
and community values.
First, the Ōrewa-based village is marking six years of partnership with the pilot programme, which sees
food scraps collected from the village, fermented, and composted at a nearby farm in Waitoki, now
transformed into a banana plantation. The project is run by Sustainable North Trust and has become
a local model for circular economy in action.
The second milestone is just as exciting. The village has exceeded 100 tonnes of food scraps collected,
which equates to 190 tonnes of CO
2
equivalent avoided.
Ryman is proud to be part of this initiative and to support residents who are passionate about reducing
waste and protecting the environment. The village’s ongoing commitment makes a meaningful difference,
not only by keeping food out of landfill, but by turning it into something valuable for the community.
Bananas grown on the farm are even being donated to a local kindergarten, bringing the journey full circle.
Image: Evelyn Page Village residents Graeme Howard (left) and Sue Hoy check out the new bananas growing at farmer
Phil Grainger's plantation in nearby Waitoki.
Capital deployment
While Ryman has not yet established a dedicated budget specifically for climate-related risks and opportunities,
investment is already occurring in areas aligned with our decarbonisation goals. Looking ahead, climate-related
considerations will be more explicitly integrated into capital planning from FY26 as part of our long-term asset
strategy. Anticipated areas of future investment include:
• Electrification and energy upgrades: Transitioning away from natural gas remains a key decarbonisation
priority. However, implementation is complex due to legacy infrastructure and site-specific constraints.
Feasibility assessments are underway to guide investment planning.
• Renewable energy: We are committed to increasing our use of renewable energy where possible. While we are
fortunate to have an existing renewable electricity agreement in place, we acknowledge the ongoing challenges
in the Australian renewable energy market, particularly in Victoria. Grid capacity constraints and infrastructure
limitations present barriers to further procurement, and these factors will inform our future investment decisions
and planning.
In FY26, Ryman will work towards a more structured approach to climate-aligned capital deployment, which will be
implemented to support our science-based targets and long-term transition strategy.
Industry-based metrics
Ryman does not currently report formal industry-based climate metrics specific to aged care and retirement living.
We will continue to assess the suitability of industry-based metrics as we continue to refine our sustainability strategy,
roadmap, and targets.
Disclosure of climate risk and opportunity exposure
Details on the amount and percentage of Ryman’s assets and business activities exposed to climate-related risks
and opportunities can be found on pages 12–14. This includes the proportion of assets or activities vulnerable to
transition risks, those exposed to physical risks, and the proportion aligned with climate-related opportunities.

Calculation methods
Ryman applies a range of calculation methods depending on the type and availability of data. The selected
approach aligns with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and prioritises the use of actual activity data
where possible. The following methods were used in FY25:
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions
Activity-based method
• Fuel use (petrol and diesel) in generators and vehicles is based on supplier invoices and portal data
• Natural gas consumption is calculated from gas supplier invoices and estimated where not available
• Fertiliser application (kg nitrogen) is based on supplier records for selected villages, applied to all villages
• Electricity use is calculated from kWh figures on supplier invoices across both NZ and Australian sites.
Hybrid method
• Hybrid calculation method was applied using estimated installed Asset level charge and default annual leakage rate
• Charge values were based on supplier records and system specifications for selected villages, applied to all villages
• No actual leakage or top-up data is currently tracked.
Scope 3 emissions
A mix of methods was applied depending on data type:
Distance-based method
• Air travel, using supplier booking data for flight distance and class. A radiative forcing factor of 1.9 is applied
• Car rental, based on distance travelled or fuel use from rental records
• Mileage claims, based on staff-submitted records through Ryman’s internal expense system
• Accommodation, based on number of nights stayed from supplier invoices.
Supplier-specific and waste-type specific method
• Waste emissions were calculated based on the weight (in tonnes) of each waste stream and treatment method
as reported by our waste service providers.
Spend-based method
• Taxi and rideshare travel, where distance or mileage data is unavailable, using total spend data from expense
claims and supplier portals.
Methodological changes in FY25
Two methodological refinements were introduced in FY25 to improve the accuracy, completeness and consistency
of reported emissions. These changes have been applied retrospectively to FY24 and FY21 figures where relevant to
ensure comparability across reporting years.
• Refrigerant leakage: Leakage rates were updated from a uniform 1% for R410A to differentiated rates of 4%
for VRV systems and 3% for smaller or unknown systems, based on IPCC (2006), MfE (2024), and Efficiency
Maine (2022)
• Waste disposal: In New Zealand, it is assumed that waste is disposed of at the nearest landfill to each Ryman
location. Where valid landfill-specific emission factors were available, these were applied. In all other cases, the
national average factor for landfills with gas recovery was used. In Australia, a national average emission factor
was applied due to the absence of site-specific data.
Appendix 3: Methodology and data quality (subject to assurance)
This appendix outlines the methodologies, data sources, and quality assessments applied across Ryman’s FY25 GHG emissions inventory. Each emissions category is assessed for data reliability,
estimation assumptions, and identified uncertainties, using a defined data quality and uncertainty scale to support transparency and continuous improvement.
30RYMAN HEALTHCARE CLIMATE-RELATED DISCLOSURES 2025GovernanceStrategyRisk managementMetrics and targetsAppendicesOur villages and directoryStatement of compliance
Limitations, estimations and exclusions
GHG emission quantification is inherently uncertain due to the necessity
to estimate and apply judgements, and because of incomplete scientific
knowledge used to determine emission factors and the values needed to
combine emissions of different gases.
Further detail on categories with higher uncertainty or data limitations
is provided in Table 11. These categories were assessed based on data
availability, estimation uncertainty, and alignment with Ryman’s 5%
per-scope materiality threshold. All other reported sources not included
in these tables are either; material and based on high-quality data with low
estimation uncertainty, or considered immaterial, based on the combined
materiality and uncertainty assessment.
Data quality scale
• High: Based on complete, site-specific actual data (e.g. invoices
or meter readings) used; minimal assumptions
• Medium: Based on partial actual data; some estimation or proxy data
• Low: Mostly estimated or modelled data.
Uncertainty scale
• Low: Strong confidence in data reliability and accuracy, with a clear
understanding of any limitations
• Medium: Reasonable confidence in data reliability, with some
acknowledged limitations
• High: Limited confidence in data reliability, with notable uncertainties
that may affect interpretation.

In New Zealand, total refrigerant charge data was provided by a third-party contractor
but was not linked to specific assets. In Australia, charge data was generally available
at the asset level, though some was based on prior-year records. In both countries, no
actual leakage or top-up data was available, and emissions were calculated using default
leakage rates. As a result, data quality is rated low due to reliance on broad estimation
assumptions and limited asset-specific traceability in New Zealand. In New Zealand,
a leakage rate of 3% was applied to non-ducted and ducted split commercial air
conditioning systems, and 8% to chillers and refrigeration/freezer units. In Australia, a
4% leakage rate was used for VRV systems, and 3% for smaller or unspecified systems.
These rates were derived from IPCC (2006), MfE (2024), and Efficiency Maine (2022).

Independent Assurance Report
To the Directors of Ryman Healthcare Limited
Limited Assurance Report on Ryman Healthcare Limited’s
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Disclosures
Our conclusion
We have undertaken a limited assurance engagement on the gross GHG
emissions, additional required disclosures of gross GHG emissions, and
gross GHG emissions methods, assumptions and estimation uncertainty
(the GHG Disclosures), as outlined within the Scope of our Limited
Assurance E
ngagement section below, included in the Climate-Related
Disclosures report (the Climate Disclosures report) of Ryman Healthcare
Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group) for the year ended
31 March 2025.
Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have
obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that
the GHG Disclosures are not fairly prese
nted and are not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate
Standards (NZ CSs) issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB), as
explained on page 1 of the Climate Disclosures report.
Scope of our limited assurance engagement
We have undertaken a limited assurance engagement over the following
GHG Disclosures on pages 19, 21, 23 and 28-30 of the Climate
Disclosures report for the year ended 31 March 2025:
● gross GHG emissions:
○ Scope 1: Total of 4,763 tCO2e on page 21;
○ Scope 2: Indirect emissions from imported energy (location-
based) of 12,409 tCO2e on page 21; and
○ Selected Scope 3: Total of 3,050 tCO2e on page 21, comprising:
■ Category 5 - Waste generated in operations; and
■ Category 6 - Business travel;
● additional required disclo
sures of gross GHG emissions on pages 19,
23 and 28; and
● gross GHG emissions methods, assumptions and estimation
uncertainty on pages 21, 23 and 29-30.
Our assurance engagement does not extend to any other information
included, or referred to, in the Climate Disclosures report on pages 1-18
and 20-28. The comparative information for the years ended 31 March
2021 and 31 March 2024 disclosed in th
e Group’s Climate Disclosures
report are not covered by the assurance conclusion expressed in this
report. We have not performed any procedures with respect to the
excluded information and, therefore, no conclusion is expressed on it.
Key Matters to the GHG assurance engagement
In this section we present those matters that, in our professional
judgement, were most significant in undertaking the as
surance
engagement over the GHG Disclosures. These matters were addressed in
the context of our assurance engagement, and in forming our conclusion.
We did not reach a separate assurance conclusion on each individual key
matter.

Description of key matter How our assurance engagement addressed the key matter
Recognition of Waste Emissions from Independent Living Units and
Exclusion of Wastewater Emissions
Ryman used more than one provider for waste collections across its
independent living units, resulting in varied data quality for emissions
measurement. Consequently, differing recognition principles have been
applied
to emissions from waste.
As described in footnote 1 on page 19, emissions associated with waste
services from certain independent living units that were separately procured
have been recognised in Scope 3 - Category 5, however waste emissions
from independent townhouses collected by council services and wastewater
emissions have been excluded from reported Scope 3, as a sufficiently
reliable esti
mate of the proportion of cost or activity relevant to waste could
not be made. Refer to note, “Limitations, estimations and exclusions (subject
to assurance)” on page 23 for more information.
Ryman elected to utilise adoption provision 4 for the waste emissions from
independent townhouses and all wastewater emissions, excluding these
from the reported Scope 3 emissions and permitting management
additional
time to gather the necessary data for future reporting periods.
The recognition of waste emissions and the exclusion of wastewater
emissions across similar living unit types is considered a key matter, due to
the judgement required in determining the appropriate treatment of material
sources of emissions based on varying data availability.
In considering the treatment of waste and waste
water emissions, we:
● enquired of management to understand the recognition policies and
procedures for waste and wastewater, including their rationale for
election of adoption provision 4;
● discussed, with management, the rationale for exclusion of some, but
not all, of these emissions from the reported Scope 3 amounts;
● read management’s Operational Boundary Assessment and the
treatment of wa
ste management services;
● inspected invoices to understand the data availability from different
service providers;
● considered the GHG Protocol requirements for measurement of Scope
3 emissions and whether, subject to Ryman taking the available
adoption provision 4, they required inclusion of these emissions in the
reported amounts; and
● considered the disclosure made by Ryman in relation to e
xclusion of

Other matter - comparative information
The comparative GHG Disclosures (that is, GHG Disclosures for the years
ended 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2024) have not been subject to
assurance. As such, these disclosures are not covered by our assurance
conclusion.
Directors’ responsibilities
The Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company
for the preparation and fair presentation
of the GHG Disclosures in
accordance with NZ CSs. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal controls relevant to the
preparation of GHG Disclosures that are free from material misstatement
whether due to fraud or error.
Inherent Uncertainty in preparing GHG Disclosures
As discussed on page 30 of the Climate Disclosures report, the GHG
quantification is su
bject to inherent uncertainty because of incomplete
scientific knowledge used to determine emissions factors and the values
needed to combine emissions of different gases.
Our independence and quality management
This assurance engagement was undertaken in accordance with New
Zealand Standard on Assurance Engagements 1 Assurance Engagements
over Greenhouse Gas Emissions Disclosures, issued by the E
xternal
Reporting Board (XRB) (NZ SAE 1). NZ SAE 1 is founded on the
fundamental principles of independence, integrity, objectivity, professional
competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.
We have also complied with the following professional and ethical
standards and accreditation body requirements:
● Professional and Ethical Standard 1: International Code of Ethics for
Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence
Standards) (New Zealand);
● Professional and Ethical Standard 3: Quality Management for Firms
that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other
Assurance or Related Services Engagements; and
● Professional and Ethical Standard 4: Engagement Quality Reviews.
In our capacity as auditor and assurance practitioner, our firm p
rovides
other assurance services. Our firm also carries out other services relating
to the provision of whistleblower services to the Group. In addition, certain
partners and employees of our firm may deal with the Group on normal
terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business. The
firm has no other relationship with, or interests in, the Group.
Assurance practitioner’s res
ponsibilities
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the GHG Disclosures
based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have
obtained. NZ SAE 1 requires us to plan and perform the engagement to
obtain the intended level of assurance about whether anything has come
to our attention that causes us to believe that the GHG Disclosures are not
fairly presented and are not prepa
red, in all material respects, in
accordance NZ CSs, whether due to fraud or error, and to report our
conclusion to the Directors of the Company.
As we are engaged to form an independent conclusion on the GHG
Disclosures prepared by management, we are not permitted to be involved
in the preparation of the GHG information as doing so may compromise
our independence.

Summary of work performed
Our limited assurance engagement was performed in accordance with NZ
SAE 1, and ISAE (NZ) 3410 Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas
Emissions. This involves assessing the suitability in the circumstances of
the Group’s use of NZ CSs as the basis for the preparation of the GHG
Disclosures, assessing the risks of material misstatement of the GHG
Disclosures whether due
to fraud or error, responding to the assessed
risks as necessary in the circumstances, and evaluating the overall
presentation of the GHG Disclosures.
A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a
reasonable assurance engagement in relation to both the risk assessment
procedures, including an understanding of internal control, and the
procedures performed in response to the
assessed risks.
The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgement
and included enquiries, observation of processes performed, inspection of
documents, analytical procedures, evaluating the appropriateness of
quantification methods and reporting policies, and agreeing or reconciling
with underlying records. In undertaking our limited assurance engagement
on the GHG Disclosures, w
e:
● Obtained, through enquiries, an understanding of the Group’s control
environment, processes and information systems relevant to the
preparation of the GHG Disclosures. We did not evaluate the design of
particular control activities, or obtain evidence about their
implementation;
● Evaluated the Group’s organisational and operational boundaries to
assess completeness of GHG sources;
● Evaluate
d whether the Group’s methods for developing estimates are
appropriate and had been consistently applied. Where we considered
it to be appropriate, we tested, on a limited sample basis, the data on
which the estimates are based;
● Undertook site visits at Group’s head office and one of the Group’s
retirement villages to assess the completeness of the emissions
sources;
● Tested a limited number of
items to, or from, supporting records, as
appropriate;
● Assessed all emission factor sources and reperformed a limited
sample of emissions calculations for mathematical accuracy;
● Performed analytical procedures on particular emission categories by
comparing the expected GHGs emitted to actual GHGs emitted and
made enquiries of management to obtain explanations for any
significant differences w
e identified; and
● Considered the presentation and disclosure of the GHG Disclosures.
The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in
nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable
assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in
a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance
that would have been obtained ha
d we performed a reasonable assurance
engagement and does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would
become aware of all significant matters that we otherwise might identify.
Accordingly, we do not express a reasonable assurance opinion on these
GHG Disclosures.
Inherent limitations
Because of the inherent limitations of an assurance engagement,
together with the internal control structure, i
t is possible that fraud,
error or non-compliance may occur and not be detected.
