Ryman Healthcare 2025 Annual Shareholders Meeting Chair and
CEO Address

30 July 2025


SLIDE 3: AGENDA

Today I’ll begin by providing an overview of the progress we’ve made in strengthening the

foundations of Ryman which sets us up for improved performance over the coming years.

I’ll then hand over to our Chief Executive, Naomi James, who will walk you through the

2025 financial year and the plans we have for improving shareholder value.

We will then address the resolutions of the meeting, before we have time for Q+A at the

end.

Following the conclusion of the meeting we invite you to join the Ryman Board and Executive

team for some light refreshments.

SLIDE 5: BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Joining me today are my fellow directors: Paula Jeffs, James Miller, Kate Munnings, David

Pitman, Anthony Leighs and Scott Pritchard.

As part of our Board renewal, we were pleased to appoint Scott Pritchard as an

independent director last November. Scott brings deep expertise in property development

and corporate leadership, including his current role as CEO of Precinct Properties. Since

joining the Board, Scott has played an active role in guiding our strategic initiatives and in

particular how we might go about development in the future. His extensive experience and

insights have already added value.

We also acknowledge recent Board transitions. As we discussed at last year’s meeting

Claire Higgins stepped down from the Board on 31 December 2024, and Anthony Leighs,

advised us back in February, of his intention to retire at the completion of today’s meeting.

Anthony joined the Ryman Board in 2018. Anthony’s deep construction experience and

owners mindset have been of real value around the table.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Claire and Anthony for their dedication and

the significant contributions they’ve made to Ryman.

Also joining me on stage is our CEO Naomi James. Many of our Executive Team are also

attending and sitting in the front row. I’d encourage you at the conclusion of the meeting to

introduce yourself to them over refreshments.



Representatives from our new auditor PwC and our share registrar MUFG also join us today.

SLIDE 6: STRONG FOUNDATIONS FOR REBUILDING VALUE

Firstly, let me acknowledge and apologise on behalf of Ryman for the loss of value that

shareholders have experienced over the last 4 years. As a result of a combination of internal

and external factors, the fall in the share price has been substantial - being down over 80%

since the peak in 2021. This is totally unacceptable.

Your board are very focused on rebuilding value.

Recognising the need to build a more resilient, disciplined and commercial business, the

Board has focused on resetting our foundations to materially improve our operating

performance, while at the same time never losing sight of our core purpose, that is

providing exceptional care to our residents.

I believe we have taken decisive steps.

This includes a comprehensive series of changes across governance, management,

remuneration, financial reporting, financial transparency, capital structure and near-term

strategic priorities.

I believe we have turned the corner.

Since June 2023, we’ve undertaken a significant Board refresh, with five new directors

appointed. This has revitalised and added new skillsets to the Board. We will look to fill the

vacancy created by the retirement of Anthony over the next 12 months and then run with a

smaller board of 7 for the foreseeable future. I have been really pleased with how the new

Board has lent in and worked constructively to make what have been a number of hard

decisions. All directors are now independent.

As announced last year, the Board has been working to align executive remuneration with

long-term value creation through a refreshed long term incentive scheme which replaced

the prior medium and long term schemes that were tied to growth in Underlying Profit, a

problematic metric which we have moved away from. The new long-term scheme is now

directly linked to total shareholder returns. In addition, we’ve introduced minimum

shareholding requirements for both executives and directors to further align our interests

with shareholders.

In November last year, we welcomed Naomi James as our new CEO. Naomi brings

extensive trans-Tasman commercial experience, having held several senior leadership roles

including most recently as CEO of NZX listed Channel Infrastructure. The Board was

delighted to attract someone of Naomi’s calibre to the business.

The executive team has been reshaped and refocused, reducing from 9 executives to 7, with

clear accountability and functional responsibilities.



I would also like to warmly welcome Matthew Prior as CFO from tomorrow. Matt brings

extensive experience in consumer and patient facing healthcare companies and has a proven

track record of delivering for shareholders by driving operational excellence. I would like to

take this opportunity to thank Rob Woodgate for his hard work and contribution to the

first stage of our business transformation over the last two years.

We have completed the extensive Board-led review of our financial reporting over two

reporting periods. This has been a larger exercise than initially expected. We have been

focused on removing director judgements from asset valuations, taking a more conservative

stance on revenue recognition and cost capitalisation, removing internally generated

goodwill and writing down the carrying value of Ryman-developed software. This has

unfortunately led to a substantial reduction in shareholders equity and NTA per share. The

changes have been significant and, in some cases, complex. While it has been challenging to

work through, and challenging for the readers of the accounts given the scale of

adjustments, the improved transparency, more conservative nature and greater

comparability with others will put us in a stronger position going forward.

This review of our financial reporting is now complete.

We are resetting our cost base. The company’s overheads had grown significantly over

recent years, which meant we became a higher cost developer and a higher cost operator.

Neither of these are sustainable in a competitive market. Naomi will speak more to the

improvements we are making.

In the past year, we have also taken decisive action to reset our balance sheet to strengthen

Ryman’s financial position, simplify our debt structure by removing the Institutional Term

Loan, and ensure we have the runway and control to rebuild value.

A key milestone was our $1 billion equity raise earlier in the year. Thank you to those

shareholders who supported us. This has significantly enhanced our financial flexibility by

reducing our gearing ratio to 28% and delivering annualised interest savings of $50–$55

million.

The capital raise also enabled us to secure an 18-month waiver of our interest cover

banking covenant, providing us the time to continue our operational reset and the

opportunity to renegotiate our funding structure this financial year from a stronger position.

As previously signalled, we remain committed to reviewing our capital management and

dividend policies by the end of this financial year.

In addition, we have advanced our application for a foreign exempt listing on the ASX and

expect the listing to be live by the end of September. This will gradually expand our access

to new investors which will be to the long-term benefit of all shareholders.




SLIDE 7: FOUR MAIN BUILDINGS OPENED

You will see on this slide the substantial progress we have made in the last year and the

scale of our investment.

FY25 was a record build year in Ryman’s history with 950 retirement village units and aged

care beds delivered across nine villages.

Included within this build was the opening of four main buildings, being those at Miriam

Corban, Keith Park, James Wattie, and Bert Newton villages, which you can see on screen.

These main buildings serve as welcoming homes for our care and serviced apartment

residents, while offering dining facilities, amenities and services enjoyed by all village

residents and are an integral part of the communities at Ryman.

The business has never delivered 4 main buildings in one year. These are multi-year

commitments that will take time to build occupancy as we fill the significant capacity of aged

care beds and serviced apartments for the first time.

Our Hubert Opperman village in Mulgrave Victoria also opened its first independent

townhouses this year, bringing the total number of operating villages to 49. Nine in Victoria,

Australia and 40 here in New Zealand.

I want to take the opportunity to thank our construction teams who have done a great job

in challenging stop start circumstances to get these buildings completed and to a high

standard.

SLIDE 8: A GLIMPSE INTO VILLAGE LIFE AT KEVIN HICKMAN

Post balance date, we proudly opened the main building at our Kevin Hickman village on the

1

st

of July, which is a significant milestone for this village which opened to independent

residents in 2020.

We now have around 200 residents who call this lovely village home and get to enjoy these

fantastic amenities which include a heated indoor swimming pool and spa, cafe, library, gym,

bowling green, cinema and beauty salon.

Earlier in July we held our village open days where we welcomed over 250 people through

the doors at Kevin Hickman and we have seen strong enquiry on the back of this.

Kevin Hickman is a truly stunning village, and I would encourage anyone in Christchurch to

visit it and see this for yourself. It is certainly a special place for Mum or Dad.

Please take a moment to enjoy this short video with a glimpse into village life at Kevin

Hickman.




SLIDE 9: KEVIN HICKMAN

I would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge the passing sadly this year of one of

our two founders, Kevin Hickman.

Kevin, along with John Ryder, founded Ryman 40 years ago and pioneered integrated

retirement living in aged care as we know it today. It literally didn't exist before Kevin and

John.

Along with many others, I was fortunate to attend the service for Kevin at the Christchurch

Town Hall. It was certainly humbling to hear of his contribution not only to our sector, but

also to athletics and to his other real passion, and that was horse racing. A great pioneer

with an enormous legacy. Certainly, a life well lived.

SLIDE 10: WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO OUR SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY

We remain committed to our sustainability journey and have made good progress in a

number of areas over the past year.

We've achieved a 41% reduction in scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions since our FY21 baseline,

a significant step towards our 2030 target.

The Ryman Healthcare Solar Farm in Northland is nearing completion and will soon be

providing renewable energy to our villages through the innovative purchase agreement

we’ve secured with Harbour Infrastructure and Mercury. In Australia, we’ve secured a

GreenPower renewable energy agreement with Origin Energy.

On the social front, we're proud to have published our first Modern Slavery Statement and

our first Reconciliation Action Plan in Australia.

We are also pleased to report that we have no gender pay gap across all team members.

SLIDE 11: 40 YEARS OF CARE AND COMMUNITY

As we look to the future, we must not lose sight of our purpose, which is to provide freedom,

connection and wellbeing for people as we grow older.

Our residents are at the heart of everything we do, and we remain committed to our purpose-

led model of care and delivering an exceptional resident experience.

These are the same principles upon which this business was founded by Kevin Hickman and

John Ryder 40 years ago, a milestone that we celebrated during the last financial year.

We recognise the 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 need to find the right balance between care and

commerciality.

Ryman has undertaken a significant transformation over the past year. We’ve taken decisive

action and laid the foundations for a stronger, more focused and more resilient business.



To our shareholders—the share price performance over the last 4 years is clearly

unacceptable. I thank you for your continued patience and support as we work towards

rebuilding value.

To our team members, thank you for another year of dedication to delivering great care for

our residents.

With that, I’ll now hand over to our Chief Executive, Naomi James.

SLIDE 12: CEO’S ADDRESS

Thank you, Dean and thank you to everyone here for joining us today and to those who

have joined us online.

As Dean mentioned, I started in this role in November and it is great to be with you today

for my first Annual Shareholders Meeting.

SLIDE 13: MOST TRUSTED BRAND

Since joining, I have met so many of our committed and caring staff.

And it’s this commitment and care that has seen Ryman once again this year selected by the

public as New Zealand’s Most Trusted Brand in aged care and retirement villages.

This marks the 11

th

time Ryman has received this industry award from Readers Digest,

which is an endorsement of our enduring commitment to residents, their families, and the

vibrant communities our teams help create across each of our villages.

It has been a real privilege for me to have already visited more than half of our 49 villages

and meet many of our residents in New Zealand and Australia and to hear about their

experiences first hand.

We know our residents are a key part of what makes each of our villages special and deeply

value the contribution that our 15,000 residents make in our communities. We are proud

to offer them a choice in retirement living and the peace of mind in knowing they have

access to industry leading care as their needs change.

SLIDE 14: FY25 RESULTS

Moving to our FY25 results.

As Dean noted earlier, we have now completed a comprehensive financial reporting review.

This reset has led to significant changes to key accounting policies as well as improving

transparency and comparability of Ryman’s reporting.

However, these changes have made this year’s set of accounts complex with a number of

restatements, one-offs and non-cash write-downs, resulting in a reported net loss after tax

of $436.8 million.



In FY25, we saw improvement in the financial performance of our villages and reductions in

our non-village costs.

In FY26, we expect to build on this momentum through incremental revenue growth across

DMF and weekly fees, the ongoing impact of cost reductions already achieved, and further

savings driven by sharper focus on procurement and operational efficiency.

Looking at unit sales, Ryman achieved 1,523 sales of occupation rights in FY25, broadly flat

on the prior year. As outlined at the time of the equity raise, we saw a softer period for

contracting in the second half of FY25, which will result in a lower level of unit sales in

FY26. We have been working hard to rebuild contracting momentum which I will talk to on

the next slide.

Reflecting our strong brand, occupancy remained above 90% in Ryman’s mature villages

across both aged care and retirement living. Lifting occupancy in our developing villages is a

key focus area for the business as we look to sell down new stock and fill capacity in our

recently opened care centres.

Free Cash Flow of negative $94 million was in-line with guidance provided at the equity

raise. While still negative, this improved by almost $100 million year on year, and we are

targeting further improvement in FY26.

SLIDE 15 – REBUILDING CONTRACT MOMENTUM WITH HIGHER DMF

Sales contracts, which we also refer to as sales applications, are a lead indicator in the

business with settlements on average lagging contracts by around six months.

Since the equity raise when we reported a soft period of contracting in the third quarter of

FY25, contracting momentum has steadily improved with gross contracts in the first quarter

of this year now at 91% of the level seen in the last two comparative periods.

This improvement reflects a sustained emphasis on sales effectiveness across a range of

initiatives including targeted promotions and sales incentives, price optimisation, and

continued investment in front-line sales team development.

Importantly we are rebuilding contracting momentum at a significantly higher level of

Deferred Management Fees (or DMF) compared to the past, with the average DMF on new

resident contracts signed since the contract changes on 1 October last year almost 40%

higher than in the past.

As part of our efforts to provide more visibility to investors, we released our first quarterly

update a few weeks ago, announcing 337 sales of occupation rights and over 96% occupancy

in our mature aged care centres in the first quarter of FY26.

FY26 sales are currently tracking towards the upper end of the previously guided 1,100 –

1,300 range.



We still expect variability throughout the year given the flow-through impacts of softer

contracting in the second half of last year and mixed market conditions.

SLIDE 16: OPERATIONAL RESET UNDERPINNED BY THREE STRATEGIC

PRIORITIES

Our operational reset is underpinned by three strategic priorities announced at the time of

February’s capital raise.

The first strategic priority is to release cash from the business which will allow us to reduce

debt and create capacity for future growth.

Our focus is on selling down over $700 million of new sales and paid out resales stock, and

portfolio optimisation where we will look to divest selected land bank sites, which are

collectively valued at $370 million.

Our second strategic priority is to make a significant and sustainable improvement in cash

performance by $100 to $150 million. This includes lifting the operating performance of our

villages and resetting our non-village overheads.

Our third strategic priority is disciplined growth, driven by a clear plan for value-accretive

portfolio expansion. Central to this is the portfolio and strategy review we have

commenced to identify the best opportunities to optimise and grow the Ryman business. I

look forward to sharing more details with you on plans for the future later this financial

year.

SLIDE 17: ACTIONS TAKEN TO IMPROVE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

We’ve made significant inroads on our strategic priorities this year, with this reset

commencing well before I started as CEO.

As I talked to earlier, the changes made to our unit pricing framework have driven a 40%

higher average DMF on new contracts and we continue to improve our effectiveness in

selling this new offering.

We’ve achieved annualised cost savings of $23 million and are targeting a doubling of this by

the end of FY26, and following our capital raise, we’re achieving annualised interest savings

of $50–$55 million.

Commencement of new developments have been paused as we complete our in-flight

projects, sell down existing stock and undertake our portfolio and strategy review,

providing the time to lift the operating performance of our villages and get clarity on the

best value-accretive growth opportunities for the business.

We will continue to update the market on our progress throughout the year ahead.



SLIDE 18: NEW ZEALAND AGED CARE BEDS EXPECTED TO ENTER

SCARCITY

As we review Ryman’s plans for the future, we are very aware of the sector trends and how

Ryman is uniquely positioned to benefit from these.

As shown on this chart, the New Zealand Government estimates that by 2032 there will be

a shortage of over 10,000 aged care beds in New Zealand.

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. Ryman villages provide residents with the security of knowing they will be

looked after, with access to the levels of care they might need as their needs change.

SLIDE 19: INVESTMENT PROPOSITION

I want to finish by highlighting the investment proposition for Ryman as it stands today.

FY25 has been a year of significant reset, and while there is still much to be done, I am

confident that we start FY26 with a strong platform to improve shareholder value.

We are the market leader for integrated retirement living and aged care. Our continuum of

care model is unmatched in size and flexibility and well positioned to capitalise on growing

demand.

We have a renewed performance focus, with our revenue and cost reset well underway,

and see significant opportunity to unlock further efficiencies and operating leverage.

Our balance sheet has been reset following our equity raise, providing financial stability that

will continue to improve as our business improvements drives cash flow. It’s important that

we set the business up to be resilient through the cycle and continue to have our

shareholders capital front of mind.

Our portfolio and strategy review provides the opportunity to unlock further value and

ensure a disciplined approach to future growth.

And lastly, we are attractively positioned to benefit from the recovery in the housing and

economic cycle.

We have already made significant progress on our plans and have a management team that is

committed to delivering on the targets that we promised you at the time of the capital raise.

I want to thank you for your continued patience and support as we progress our business

transformation.



I look forward to updating you on our plans to further improve and grow our business and

our dividend policy review later this financial year. I will now pass back to the Chair for

resolutions and general business.
