SUMMERSET POSTS $234.2M FULL YEAR UNDERLYING PROFIT


Retirement village operator Summerset Group Holdings Limited today announced a record full

year underlying profit for the year ending 31 December 2025 of NZ$234.2 million, up 13% on

FY24 primarily due to a positive sales performance and continual growth in the company’s

portfolio. IFRS net profit after tax was down to $259.7 million with the change largely driven by

the impact of lower median house prices on revaluations of the company’s portfolio over the

year.

Summerset CEO Scott Scoullar said the company’s long-term strategy continues to deliver

results with Summerset achieving underlying profit growth, meeting its building targets,

achieving healthy sales results (given the property market conditions in 2025), maintaining high

resident satisfaction and staff engagement, and hitting significant milestones in its Australian

growth strategy.

“We’ve continued to achieve despite another year where the business environment and property

market has been subdued. Summerset has lifted the value of the company by $1.32 per share to

have a Net Tangible Assets (NTA) per share of $13.75, and we are proud to be very focused on

growth” Mr Scoullar said.

The company sold 1,560 homes (805 new sales and 755 resales) under ORA during 2025 (up

26% on FY24) – Summerset’s highest new sales year to date.

• Underlying profit for FY25 of NZ$234.2m, up 13% on FY24

• IFRS net profit $259.7m down 22% on FY24

• Total revenue of NZ$361.8m up 13% on FY24

• Total assets of NZ$9.2b, up 15% on FY24

• 1,560 total sales of occupation rights, up 26% on FY24

• 693 new homes delivered under occupation right agreement (ORA) (637 in New Zealand

and 56 in Australia)

• Land bank total of 5,499 retirement homes and 1,173 care homes across NZ and

Australia

• Uncontracted NZ stock decreased 7% compared to 1H25

• Development margin of 27.8%

• Final dividend of NZ13.2 cents per share

• Village and care resident satisfaction 91% and 89% respectively

• Staff retention 84% up 3% on FY24

Mr Scoullar said the company has worked hard to deliver sales at its focus villages, Summerset

Boulcott (Lower Hutt) and Summerset St Johns (Auckland) with these villages both in the top

three highest new sales villages of the year.

“Boulcott and St Johns are unique villages for us, due to the land and style of build we delivered

large numbers of new homes at once. Selling these down has been a priority this year and we’re

pleased to see both villages performing well.”

Selling Care rooms under Occupational Rights Agreements (ORAs) helped Summerset to

improve its care profitability significantly, care EBITDA was $18.8m for FY25 up from $2.7m the

year before.

“While care ORA sales have been strong this year, we’ve been pleased to see sales of our

independent homes continue to grow strongly as well. With Care ORAs excluded, new sales

were 680, up 16% from the 588 new sales achieved in FY24.”

The company’s strong sales performance was heavily supported by its strong brand presence,

with quarterly independent research showing that Summerset has continued to hold the number

one position for consideration amongst its core audience - a position held since April 2025.

“This means that Summerset is not only top of mind for our audience, but also a brand of choice

when making the decision to move into a retirement village community.”


Mr Scoullar said the company has also remained focused on delivering for residents with

continued high satisfaction scores (91% for villages and 89% for care) and has seen more

external acknowledgement of their work.

Summerset received a number of awards including winning the Corporate ESG category at the

Institute of Financial Professionals New Zealand (INFINZ) 2025 Awards, Summerset St Johns

earning an Excellence award at the New Zealand Property Council awards in the Retirement

Living and Aged Care category and the company named a Customer Champion by the

Australian Financial Review.

Construction

Summerset met its forecast build target again, delivering 637 homes under ORA in New Zealand

and 56 in Australia. The company’s deliveries were consistent with guidance provided at its

FY24 results of between 600-650 homes in New Zealand and between 50-80 in Australia.

The company was building on 22 sites across New Zealand and Australia in 2025 and delivered

significant projects during the year including the village centre buildings at Cambridge (Waikato)

and Cranbourne North (Victoria, Australia), and the care centre and apartments at Boulcott.

Mr Scoullar said Summerset reported a development margin of 27.7% down from 28.9% in

FY24, driven by the company’s sales mix with a higher proportion of apartments and care suites

sold than previous years.

Continued progress in Australia

Mr Scoullar said the company continued its measured and deliberate growth plan in Australia

and Summerset is now seeing this work start to gain momentum.


“We delivered our first village centre building at Cranbourne North in Victoria, marking a key

milestone as we prepare to deliver aged care for the first time in Australia. At Chirnside Park, our

second Australian village, the first villas were completed in Q4 with strong early demand

resulting in half of the first stage sold in the first few weeks. Construction is now underway at two

further villages – Torquay and Oakleigh South.”

Summerset’s Australia team is now working through the necessary steps to operationalise the

village centre at Cranbourne North, including hiring and training staff, finalising accreditation for

our care services, and embedding any legislative requirements under the new Australian Aged

Care Act which came into force on 1 November 2025.

“We’re very excited to be bringing our full continuum-of-care to Australia. We expect to welcome

our first Assisted Living residents in Q1 of FY26 and to begin providing care from Q2.”

Summerset also announced they have lodged a Planning Permit with the Victorian Development

Facilitation Panel for a new village in Mornington, Victoria.


“We are hopeful of securing the consent this year which will include a retirement village, assisted

living apartments and aged care. We believe this opportunity will be a great addition to our

growing Australian portfolio.”

Mornington is situated approximately 65km southeast of Melbourne's CBD, and with its natural

beauty, lifestyle amenities and connectivity make it an excellent location. The area is renowned

for its coastal lifestyle, with pristine beaches, a vibrant café culture, boutique shopping, golf

courses and a number of award-winning wineries making it a sought after location for retirees.

Looking forward

“We continue to believe in our value proposition in both New Zealand and Australia going into

FY26. Even in constrained trading conditions we have continued to see extremely high demand,

record sales numbers and have continued to deliver on our expected build rate in both Australia

and New Zealand.

“We’ll continue to focus on prudently managing our strong balance sheet while growing and

embedding long-term cashflow from our villages and delivering for residents and shareholders.

We’re pleased to have reduced gearing and expect to see a further reduction in FY26.”

The Board has declared a final dividend of NZ13.2 cents per share, bringing the total dividend

payable for FY25 to NZ24.5 cents per share.

* Underlying profit is a non-GAAP measure and differs from

NZ IFRS profit for the period. Underlying profit does not have

a standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may

not be comparable to similar financial information

underlying profit measure in addition to IFRS profit to assist

readers in determining the realised and unrealised

components of fair value movement of investment property,

impairment and tax expense in the Group’s income statement.

The measure is used internally in conjunction with other

measures to monitor performance and make investment

decisions. Underlying profit is a measure which the Group

uses consistently across reporting periods. Underlying profit is

used to determine the dividend pay-out to shareholders.

FULL YEAR REPORT 202513
•Sustainable and consistent growth to continue - villages under construction estimated to generate a total NTA

uplift of approximately $12.00 per share once complete and sold down

•Ongoing portfolio optimisation - including improvements to care EBITDA, unit pricing (in line with demand) and

occupancy will further drive growth in NTA across the wider portfolio

•FY26 New Zealand build rate guidance of 650 to 700 units to be sold under Occupation Right with an

Australian build rate of approximately 100 to 150 units, including 72 care beds at Cranbourne North

•Target a stabilised medium term build rate of approximately 650 units in New Zealand and 300 in Australia

from 2027 onwards (allowing for some variation relating to timing of main building deliveries)

•The business continues to actively look for new, primarily broadacre, sites to add to our land bank

•Expect net debt to remain at the bottom of our target range of $2.0b to $2.5b across FY26 and beyond

•Gearing to track down during FY26 based on current market conditions and sales rates continuing

•Care EBITDA increased to $18.8m in FY25. Expect this to lift further in FY26 as more units convert to ORA and

main buildings are delivered. Target an average care EBITDA per bed of $20k to $25k over the medium term

•Further uplift in profitability expected with deferred management fees on care units increasing to 27.5% from 1

January 2026, no plan to adjust independent living units at this stage

•FY25 operating margin of 16.0% in completed villages. The business will see additional cost in FY26 with new

main building deliveries and portfolio growth – operating margins are expected to improve over the medium

term as developing villages sell down, care EBITDA improves and broader inflation pressures ease

•Review of cost base to be undertaken in FY26 to ensure support services and core expenditure is aligned with

the needs of a growing business of our size, and focused on investment to deliver efficiencies

•Q1 2026 sales ahead of same period in FY25, expect a lift in Q1 settlements for both new sales and resales

relative to Q1 2025

Gearing outlook: Based on current forecasts we reaffirm our expectations that 1H25 was peak

gearing, as sales contracts in place settle and capex spend on main buildings reduces across 2026

Note – 1H23 to 1H25 closing value of investment property restated (refer to slide 57 for details)

Sales contracts: Committed sales pipeline continues to lift, with total committed sales pipeline now

25% above FY24 and at highest ever level, providing a strong platform for FY26

Target debt band of $2.0b to $2.5b

Summerset Cranbourne North (Melbourne, Victoria)

16FULL YEAR REPORT 2025
OUR STRATEGY

•Summerset continues to focus on sustainably delivering and

selling units at scale

•In New Zealand, Summerset operates a fully integrated

development and construction business that focuses on a

primarily broadacre development strategy, with geographical

and product diversification at its core

•The business owns the largest landbank in the New Zealand

retirement village sector and targets a sustainable New

Zealand build rate of approximately 650 units per annum over

the medium term

•In Australia, Summerset continues to take a considered and

measured approach – targeting a medium term build rate of

approximately 300 units per annum from 2027 onwards

•Four Australian villages now under construction and

performing well. Further opportunity to lift development

returns as we bring construction and procurement under

the same in-house model already in place in New Zealand

•Our approach generates financial returns through both the

development and ongoing operations of villages once

complete – these ongoing returns grow as villages mature

Future growth

A FOCUS ON SUSTAINABLE GROWTH, TARGETING A STABILISED BUILD RATE OF APPROXIMATELY

650 UNITS IN NEW ZEALAND AND 300 UNITS IN AUSTRALIA OVER THE MEDIUM TERM

Development returns

INTERNAL CONSTRUCTION MODEL ENABLES

EARNINGS GROWTH AND VALUE CREATION

•Summerset developments produce positive net cash flows

(net cash position) upon completion at a portfolio level, this

means they carry no debt at the end of construction and

after first sell down

•All feasibility expense and revenue inputs are updated

regularly as part of our internal development management

processes and are uninflated

•Villages currently under development are expected to return

over $240m in positive net cash profits on completion

•Bell Block and Te Awa villages completed during the year,

returning a combined cash profit of $72.7m at an average of

$105k per ORA unit

•Projected net cash position has increased over $20m since

1H25, primarily due to pricing movements at Waikanae and

Prebbleton partially offset by adjustments to serviced

apartments at Whangarei when these units were released

•Across both New Zealand and Australia our villages under

construction are estimated to generate a total NTA uplift of

approximately $12.00 per share once complete and sold

down (excluding Bell Block and Te Awa, now complete)

•Of this, approximately $2.50 has been delivered to date,

with a further $9.50 to be generated as these villages

are built out

VALUE UNLOCKED AS NEW UNITS DELIVERED

AND VILLAGE CASH FLOWS MATURE

•Since FY16, Summerset has grown its portfolio from 3,576

units to 8,673 units – 10% annualised growth rate

•Across the same period, NTA per share has lifted 6x from

$2.50 to $13.75

•Summerset’s current land bank enables the business to

almost double in size as it is built out, enabling strong future

growth in NTA

•There are three primary drivers of NTA growth – new units

being delivered, the maturing of the existing portfolio and

unit pricing

•Summerset will continue to see an uplift in NTA from these

drivers as it executes on its sustainable growth strategy, and

its existing villages mature

•Completed villages benefit from uplift in NTA as prices

lift in line with demand (Summerset lifted prices by 2.7%

in FY25 vs residential property market increasing 0.8%),

and the existing portfolio matures

•Developing villages will additionally benefit from new

units being delivered

•Summerset have lodged a Planning Permit with the

Victorian Development Facilitation Panel for a new 6.39ha

broadacre village in Mornington Victoria, approximately

65km southeast of Melbourne's CBD

•Mornington's natural beauty, lifestyle amenities, and

connectivity make it an excellent location for Summerset

•The area is renowned for its coastal lifestyle, with pristine

beaches, a vibrant café culture, boutique shopping, golf

courses and a number of award-winning wineries that make

it a sought-after location for retirees

•The catchment has a median house price of $1.3m and

excellent demographics

•Current population aged over 75 years is strong with

over 10,500 residents, lifting to almost 12,000 by 2029

•Penetration rates within the catchment are low with limited

comparable continuum of care villages in the area

•Summerset’s application outlines our intention to build a

fully integrated retirement village and aged care centre

with approximately 159 independent living units and a 73

bed aged care centre

EXECUTION OF STRATEGY TRANSLATING TO

STRONG FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

•Record care EBITDA of $18.8m, the uplift coming from our

transition to care beds sold under Occupation Right

Agreement, with deferred management fees up $10.3m on

FY24

•Deferred management fee percentage on care units

increased to 27.5% from 1 January 2026, no plan to adjust

independent living units at this stage

•As outlined at 1H25, we expect these changes to care will

improve EBITDA per bed to an average of between $20k and

$25k per annum over the medium term

•Record village EBITDA of $202.3m, up 5% on FY24, with

portfolio growth driving increases in deferred management

fees and realised gain on resales

Definition:

Underlying profit is a non-GAAP measure and differs from NZ IFRS profit for the period. Underlying profit does not

have a standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar financial

information presented by other entities. The Directors have provided an underlying profit measure in addition to

IFRS profit to assist readers in determining the realised and unrealised components of fair value movement of

investment property and other assets, impairment and tax expense in the Group’s income statement. The

measure is used internally in conjunction with other measures to monitor performance and make investment

decisions and has been audited by PwC. Underlying profit is a measure which the Group uses consistently across

reporting periods. Underlying profit is used to determine the dividend payout to shareholders.

•Developing villages completing and selling down – lifting

care and village fees, and deferred management fees

•Care transition to Occupation Right lifting care EBITDA

KEY GROWTH IN COST BASE RELATED TO

INCREASE IN PORTFOLIO SIZE

Total corporate overheads

No care or village expenses are capitalised to projects

•Gross operating expenses up 11% to $379.1m, compared to

total revenue growth of 13%

•Village and care cost growth primarily reflects wage and

core cost inflation, alongside portfolio growth

•Corporate overheads of $88.6 million, up from $68.1m in

FY24. Approximately half of this growth ($9.9m) reflects

changes in capitalisation rates – these do not impact gross

expenditure and reflect the annualised impact of

capitalisation changes outlined at 1H25

•The remaining $10.7m increase relates to targeted

investment in capability and technology, with the business

maintaining discipline across discretionary spend. Key

movements were:

•$2.3 million on wage inflation, vacancies filled and new

roles within corporate functions

•$2.1 million on technology costs related to higher

licensing and cybersecurity spend as well as platform

investments in Lumin and workforce rostering systems

•$3.3 million of Australian business investment to

support operational readiness

•Review of cost base to be undertaken in FY26 to ensure

support services and core expenditure is aligned with the

needs of a growing business of our size, and focused on

investment to deliver efficiencies

Cash flows

CASH FLOW FROM EXISTING OPERATIONS OF

$73.6M IN COMPLETED VILLAGES

•Summerset’s completed villages generated $73.6m of cash

flow from existing operations in FY25

•Completed villages include our most mature villages, being

those villages completed before 2018

•These villages generated a cash yield of 5.3% incl. corporate

overheads (6.7% exclusive) in FY25 and demonstrate a clear

pathway to higher CFEO across the medium term as the

balance of the portfolio matures

•Three factors will drive a lift in CFEO over the medium term:

•Size – Summersets completed villages are much smaller

in size, averaging 238 units compared to 340 units in

developing villages. Larger villages generate higher

operating leverage with village costs split over more

units, and higher turnover driving stronger net cash flow

from resales

•Price - Average sales price in developing villages is $102k

(13%) above completed villages – this drives higher net

cash flow from resales as units rollover

•Normalisation of resales working capital movements in

line with an improving residential property market

•We expect, over the medium term that, at a minimum, all

villages will align to the cash returns we see today in villages

completed before 2018 (mature villages)

GUIDING PRINCIPLES TO SUSTAINABLY GROW THE BUSINNESS

FY25 in review

Guiding principles

•Grow the business by delivering sustainable expansion opportunities in New Zealand and Australia, that

produce competitive returns for shareholders

•Retain flexibility in our growth plans – ensure we can adapt our growth objectives as conditions allow

Investment decisions

•Summerset developments deliver positive net cash flows (net cash position) on completion

•Focus on diversification of location and broadacre investment, ensuring the business carries no core debt

•New investments must meet all internal hurdle rates (including development margin, net funding position, IRR,

population and penetration thresholds) on an individual and portfolio basis

•Disciplined approach to maintaining and improving existing asset base, ensuring its attractiveness to future

residents

Balance sheet management

•Prudent approach to balance sheet management, retain gearing ratio within a target operating range of 30% to

40%

•Actively manage our stock levels, while still growing in Australia and moderating build rates as appropriate

•Expect a maximum debt band of $2.0b to $2.5b over the short to medium term, no change from FY24

Distributions

•Ordinary dividend payout range to 20% to 50% of underlying profit

•Used to deliver long-term financial health, while giving its investors an appropriate return on their investment

•Australia and NZ villages in construction

forecast to be over $240m in positive net cash

profits on completion and first sell down

•Land bank appropriately spread across 12 NZ

regions, plus diversifying into Australia (VIC and

QLD)

•New refurbishment standards in place, care

centre upgrades well advanced

•Retirement village occupancy of 95%, along with

care occupancy at 94%

•Net debt of $1,960m with a gearing ratio of 37.1%

•Total debt facilities of $2.6b with undrawn

capacity of $626.8m

•Development assets exceed the value of net debt

by $318.2m, or 16%

•Target a stabilised medium term build rate of

approximately 650 units in New Zealand and 300

in Australia from 2027 onwards

•Final dividend of 13.2 cents per share, which is

25.3% of underlying profit

•This represents a payout for FY25 of

approximately $59.2m (before DRP)

years

•Bank facility has undrawn capacity of $626.8m with a

gearing ratio of 37.1% (comfortably within our target band of

30% to 40%)

•As previously signalled, based on current forecasts we

expect gearing to reduce across FY26

•Summerset proactively manages hedging levels - as at 31

December 2025, 63% of total debt was hedged at fixed

interest rates

•The weighted average interest rate for FY25 was 5.4%

Definitions:

Property value is calculated as the valuation amount of all properties that have been externally valued, plus the

cost of all properties not externally valued, plus 50% of the costs incurred to date on developments that are not

complete, net of residents’ loans

Loan to value ratio is the gross borrowings at face value divided by property value

Adjusted EBIT is EBIT less fair value movement of investment property and other assets, less deferred

management fees (calculated under NZ GAAP), plus net cash from resales, plus development margin, less/plus

other one off adjustments

Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBIT plus amortisation and depreciation

Interest expense is the total interest and line fee costs prior to capitalisation of any interest and line fees,

excluding any interest and line fees incurred in relation to development tranches of bank debt facilities

Interest cover ratio is Adjusted EBITDA divided by interest expense, calculated on a 12-month rolling basis

VALUE OF DEVELOPMENT ASSETS $318M

ABOVE NET DEBT

•Summerset has no core debt and our development assets –

being the value of our land bank, development WIP and units

that have been delivered but not settled significantly

exceeds the debt we have used to hold them

•At 31 December 2025, net debt was $1.96b and the value of

development assets exceeded the value of net debt by

$318.2m, or 16%

•Development assets comprise:

•$588.2m relating to undeveloped land, being the fair

value of our Australia and New Zealand land bank

•$876.8m for development WIP at cost (villages under

construction) - $46.5m of units under construction

presold

•$813.4m from unsold new sale stock, which is all

delivered new sale stock that is yet to settle

•$209.8m of delivered new stock was contracted and

awaiting settlement at 31 December 2025, up from

$157.4m at FY24

•Excess assets of $318.2m is also conservative as it excludes

any margin on development WIP or undeveloped land,

which is realised on delivery

RECONCILIATION OF UNDERLYING PROFIT TO REPORTED NET PROFIT AFTER TAX AND NET RESALES

RECEIPTS WITHIN CASH FLOW FROM EXISTING OPERATIONS

Definition:

Underlying profit is a non-GAAP measure and differs from NZ IFRS profit for the period. Underlying profit does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar financial

information presented by other entities. The Directors have provided an underlying profit measure in addition to IFRS profit to assist readers in determining the realised and unrealised components of fair value movement of

investment property, impairment and tax expense in the Group’s income statement. The measure is used internally in conjunction with other measures to monitor performance and make investment decisions and has been

audited by PwC. Underlying profit is a measure which the Group uses consistently across reporting periods. Underlying profit is used to determine the dividend payout to shareholders.

Restated comparative information

RESTATEMENT OF FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENT PROPERTY

•Summerset has reviewed its accounting and valuation

treatment of long-term resident loans within the valuations

and the accounting gross-up calculation applied to

investment property

•As a result, it was concluded that the gross-up calculation

should be updated to include long-term resident loans to

ensure compliance with the requirements of NZ IAS 40

•This change in treatment has resulted in the recognition and

correction of prior periods relating to FY24 and FY23

•Total impact on FY24 value of investment property

was $24.9m and FY23 of $17.1m

•In accordance with IFRS requirements we have restated the

prior periods in the statement of financial position and

Scott Scoullar

Chief Executive Officer

Welcome to Summerset’s annual

report for the 12 months ended

31 December 2025.

We are pleased to have

delivered another strong result for

our shareholders and residents

in a year where the wider

business environment continued to

pose challenges.

While there are signs of optimism as

we move into FY26, the New Zealand

economy and the property market

have been, and remain, sluggish.

Despite this we have continued to

stick to our fundamental principles

of developing vibrant, primarily

broadacre, villages in appealing

locations while being disciplined in

managing our build rate and costs.

Our long-term strategy continues to

deliver results and we've maintained

a prudent balance sheet. This

year, underlying profit grew again,

we met our build rate guidance,

delivered record sales, maintained

high resident satisfaction and staff

engagement, and made significant

progress in Australia.

Our staff's hard work over the

year has been recognised externally.

We received a number of awards

including winning the Corporate

ESG (Environment, Social and

Governance) category at the

Institute of Financial Professionals

New Zealand (INFINZ) 2025 Awards.

Summerset St Johns (Auckland)

received an Excellence award at

the New Zealand Property Council

awards in the Retirement Living and

Aged Care category, and we were

named a Customer Champion by

the Australian Financial Review. Also,

for the seventh consecutive year, we

were named Highly Commended by

Reader’s Digest as a Trusted Brand in

the Retirement Village category.

Business performance

Our underlying profit for the year was

$234.2m, up 13% on FY24, reflecting

our strong sales performance during

the year. Our IFRS net profit for

FY25 was $259.7m – down 22% on

FY24, driven by revaluations of our

portfolio over the year.

Despite a continued

challenging economic

environment we

achieved 1,560 sales

(805 new sales and 755

resales), a 26% increase

on FY24, our highest

new sales year to date

We have continued to see strong

momentum at our focus villages,

Boulcott (Lower Hutt) and St Johns,

which were our first and third best

performing new sales villages for

the year.

Selling care rooms under

Occupation Right Agreements

(ORAs) has helped us to improve

our care profitability significantly,

and the move to ORAs is now a

well-accepted part of our offering by

residents and future residents. Care

EBITDA was $18.8m for FY25, up from

$2.7m the year before. We're pleased

0 8

C H A I R A N D C E O ’ S R E P O R T
to see this lift but this remains a

modest return and we'll continue to

work to improve profitability in this

area. Care EBITDA per bed in our

completed villages is approximately

$13k currently, but with changes

to our care DMF, which came into

place this year, and more rooms

converting to Care ORA we continue

to target an average $20-25k over

the medium term.

Care ORA sales have been strong

this year, but we’ve been pleased to

see sales of our independent homes

continue to grow solidly as well. With

care ORAs excluded, new sales were

680, up 16% from the 588 new sales

achieved in FY24.

Our operating cash flows of $548.2m

have increased 24% from last year

and the value of our total assets

are now $9.2b, up 15% on 2024,

largely as a result of the retirement

homes we built in New Zealand

and Australia and revaluation gains

across our portfolio.

We have lifted the value of the

company by $1.32 per share in the

last year to have a Net Tangible

Assets (NTA) per share of $13.75.

Since 2016 our portfolio has grown

from 3,576 units to 8,673, and in

the same period NTA per share

has increased from $2.50 to $13.75.

Our current land bank gives us the

opportunity to almost double our

size as we build and enables strong

future growth in our NTA.

We are pleased with the business’s

continued growth and prospects,

and the Board has declared a

final dividend of 13.2 cents per

share (cps), payable on 26 March

2026. Combined with our interim

dividend of 11.3 cps, shareholders

have received 24.5 cps for the FY25,

consistent with FY24.

The Board has adopted a

formal three-year review cycle

for the Company’s Dividend

Policy. In line with this cycle,

the policy will be reviewed

during FY26 to ensure continued

alignment with Summerset’s capital

management framework and long-

term growth strategy.

Areas of focus

At our half-year results

announcement we signalled three

key focus areas we have committed

to provide further updates on. These

were our operating costs, progress in

Australia and our debt tracking.

We have significantly reduced the

pace of cost growth. In 2H25 our

operating expenses growth was

$10.2m – down from $14m in the

first half of the year. We expect to

see some growth in overheads as our

village footprint grows in both New

Zealand and Australia, but we are

committed to carefully scrutinising

all our costs and finding efficiencies.

In Australia we’ve continued our

measured and deliberate growth

plan and we’re now seeing this

work start to gain momentum. We

delivered our first village centre

building at Cranbourne North in

Victoria, which is where we will

deliver aged care for the first time

in Australia. The first villas at our

second Australian village, Chirnside

Park were delivered in Q4, with

strong pre-sales seeing half of the

first stage sold in the first few weeks.

Construction has also begun at

two other villages – Torquay and

Oakleigh South.

Our total debt of $1.97b remains

below our target debt band of $2–

2.5b and we have undrawn debt

capacity of $627m as well as strong

lender support. Our gearing ratio is

37.1%, down slightly on the first half of

the year and within our target band

of 30–40%.

With the delivery of a number of

village centre buildings in FY25,

and more in FY26, we expect

Summerset’s aggregate net debt

growth to continue to reduce as

we won’t be funding as many

large commercial builds as we have

Summerset Rangiora welcomed its first residents in September

0 9

Annual Report 2025
undertaken in FY25. With significant

projects at St Johns, Boulcott and

Cranbourne North scheduled to

complete in the current year, these

should also start to deliver sales.

New Zealand construction

and development

Following a number of significant

land purchases in 2024 we reviewed

multiple new potential options and

continue to pursue some excellent

opportunities, but we’ve not made

any new village site purchases.

We are committed to remaining

disciplined on our metrics and our

strict investment criteria.

During FY25 we continued to

look at where adjacent land could

provide opportunities to extend

popular villages. During the year

we purchased 2.6 neighbouring

hectares at our Summerset

Pohutukawa Place (Bell Block, New

Plymouth) village which will allow us

to add approximately 70 homes and

some new amenities for residents.

We’ve also applied for, and received,

resource consent for a new village

extension at Summerset Waikanae

on land that we had previously

planned to sell.

Outside of extensions we continue

to focus on consenting our land

bank and moving through the

various approvals and processes

required to bring these villages

to construction. For example in

October we completed the rezoning

of our Mosgiel village land from

rural to residential, then received all

resource consents for that village.

We’ve settled the land for our

proposed village in Belmont,

Auckland and received resource

consent for our Rotorua village.

We lodged resource consent

applications for our Mission Hills

(Napier) village together with

our extensions to Boulcott and

Blenheim villages.

Our New Zealand construction team

worked across 18 villages during

the year, including completing

construction at our Te Awa (Napier)

village and delivering refurbished

care centres at our Havelock North

and Trentham (Upper Hutt) villages.

The team also delivered major

builds at St Johns (120 apartments),

Boulcott (123 new homes including

the care centre) and the village

centre at Summerset Cambridge.

This work saw us

meet our forecast New

Zealand build rate

of 600–650 homes,

delivering 637 homes

under ORA.

A healthy total portfolio

development margin in FY25 of

27.8% (in line with FY24) was

delivered, well above our long-term

aim of 20–25%.

We currently have five other village

centre buildings under construction

which are on track for delivery over

the next 12 months. Our Whangārei

and Waikanae village centres are

due to be delivered early FY26

with Milldale (Auckland), Prebbleton

(Canterbury) and Blenheim's new

buildings due to welcome residents

either late FY26 or in the first half of

FY27. We will also complete the last

of our care centre refurbishments at

our Levin village in FY26.

Summerset Half Moon Bay

(Auckland) is progressing well, and

civil works have been completed

at our Kelvin Grove (Palmerston

North) site, where first deliveries are

expected late FY26. 

We will continue to flex our build rate

as market conditions dictate, and in

FY26 we expect to build between

650–700 homes in New Zealand. We

are keeping our build rate relatively

flat in the coming year as we seek

to prudently manage our stock

numbers and focus on selling down

what we have. Other than Half Moon

Bay we have no highly intensive

infrastructure spends planned and

we expect to return to a more

business-as-usual cadence of village

centre building delivery by late FY26

and into FY27.

While we have a high number of

village centres coming online in

FY26 and early FY27, we expect

our total portfolio development

margin to track more within our long-

term guidance as these buildings

contain care and apartment suites

which have a lower development

margin than our villas and other

independent living options.

Sales

We were pleased to achieve another

solid sales number in FY25 with 1,560

homes sold under ORA.

New Zealand’s prolonged economic

slowdown has continued to create

a challenging environment for

our sales team to operate in,

but the strength of our offering

has continued to appeal to our

core audience.

The benefit of the diversity of

our village portfolio was again

evident over the last year with

our five highest performing new

sales villages, Boulcott, Pāpāmoa,

St Johns, Bell Block and Waikanae,

spread throughout New Zealand.

We've worked hard to reduce our

uncontracted stock also, with our

resale stock down to 2.7%, compared

to 3% at FY24, and New Zealand

new sale stock in line with the same

time last year – a very pleasing result

in a difficult property market. We

also decreased our uncontracted

New Zealand villa stock by 53% due

to strong sales and targeting our

deliveries where there’s demand.

Our reduction in new sales stock is

despite more than 226 units being

delivered in Q4 (primarily at St

Johns and the village centre at our

Cambridge village). For FY26 we will

1 0

C H A I R A N D C E O ’ S R E P O R T
be focused on selling down key

villages St Johns and Boulcott and

bringing residents into our new care

centres at Cambridge, Waikanae

and Whangārei.

Australia

Completing our first village centre at

Cranbourne North in December was

a major milestone for our Australian

side of the business, and we’re

excited to bring our continuum-of-

care offering to older Australians

in FY26.

As well as a care centre, the

new building includes assisted

living apartments and our

village amenities including indoor

pool, library, café, wellness hub

and theatre.

Our team are working through the

necessary steps to operationalise

the village centre including

hiring and training staff, finalising

accreditation for our care services,

and embedding any legislative

requirements under the new

Australian Aged Care Act which

came into force on 1 November

2025. We expect to welcome our first

assisted living residents in Q1 of FY26

and to begin providing care from Q2.

We achieved our

forecast delivery of 50–

80 homes in Australia,

delivering 56 homes

this year. This includes

the first 10 villas at

our second Australian

village, Chirnside Park.

Until the delivery of its new village

centre building, Cranbourne North

has had low numbers of stock to

sell. During FY26 our focus will

be to continue building our brand

and selling the available homes at

Cranbourne North, and settling our

pre-sold villas at Chirnside Park.

Demand has been strong and since

we opened pre-sales on 28 villas

at Chirnside Park in November 60%

have pre-sold already.

Due to the design of Chirnside

Park, and the construction phases

involved, we will deliver another

15 homes in Q2 before inviting

residents to move in. This will

allow our residents to have

the best experience in their

new home without construction

impacting them.

We’ve had a number of sales events

at our Chirnside Park show suite and

we’ve been very pleased with the

demand we’ve seen from our target

audience so far.

We’ve commenced construction at

two other villages in Victoria also.

Our village centre building and

independent living apartments at

Oakleigh South are well underway

with the village’s first deliveries on

track for FY27, and civil works are now

progressing at Torquay where we

expect construction of the village’s

first villas to start in the second half

of FY26.

We're pleased with the outlook for

these villages and we collectively

forecast to recover the full cost to

build them once they are complete

and sold down. We expect to build

100–150 homes in Australia in FY26,

and we're targeting a build rate of

approximately 300 units per annum

by the end of FY27.

In late FY25 we also lodged a

Planning Permit with the Victorian

Development Facilitation Panel for a

new village in Mornington Victoria.

We are hopeful of securing the

consent this year which will include

a retirement village, assisted living

apartments and aged care. We

believe this opportunity will be

Drop In Day at our Summerset Chirnside Park, Australia sales suite

Annual Report 2025
a great addition to our growing

Australian portfolio.

Resident satisfaction

As we grow, we’ve ensured that

we don’t lose sight of our mission

to bring the best of life to our

residents. This includes the activities

and experiences we offer, the

appearance of our villages, our food

services, care services and more.

We’ve continued to update and

evolve our resident experiences

throughout FY25 across a

number of key areas based on

resident feedback.

We gather resident feedback in a

number of ways, through resident

surveys (which we do three times a

year), at village manager meetings,

and in the interactions our staff

have with residents and their families

every day.

Our most recent satisfaction results

from October 2025 were 91% for

village residents and 89% for care

residents. As indicated at HY25 we

have moved to our tougher internal

measure of resident satisfaction

based on residents marking us on a

scale of 1 to 5 having told us they are

either very satisfied (5) or satisfied

(4). We’ll keep working to increase

these scores.

Our people

Investing in our people remains a

core part of our ten-year strategy

and we continued to make strong

progress in FY25.

Career development and job

opportunities are central to our

approach, ensuring people can

grow their careers with us.

Our retention rate remained

exceptionally high at 84%, reflecting

the positive environment we create

in our villages, construction sites

and offices.

To support retention and clearly

communicate what we offer as an

employer of choice, we launched our

Employee Value Proposition (EVP)

this year. Our EVP is our ‘promise’

to staff: what they can expect from

us, and what they contribute to

creating a great workplace and

meaningful career.

Our EVP, “Together we bring villages

to life” is built on four 'promises'

– Belonging, Impact, Inclusion and

Growth. No matter their role, every

team member plays a part in

bringing our villages to life from the

moment we buy land through to

operational excellence.

We also continue to celebrate our

people and the work they do.

Our annual Applause Awards is a

gala event recognising outstanding

contributions across all parts of

the business. In Q4 we received

more than 2,000 nominations for the

FY25 awards, which will be held in

May 2026.

We conduct three all-staff

engagement surveys each year to

understand what we're doing well

as an employer and where we

can improve. In our most recent

survey, we achieved an engagement

score of 8.3 out of 10, placing

us in the top 25 percent of

New Zealand healthcare providers

using the same engagement

survey. We also measure our

Employee Net Promoter Score

(eNPS) which reflects whether

staff would recommend us as an

employer. Our score of 51 ranks us

in the top 5% of healthcare providers

surveyed in New Zealand.

Care and funding

Summerset’s commitment to

investing in and providing high-

quality aged care was best

demonstrated by the care facilities

we opened or completed in FY25,

as well as proudly having achieved

a four-year certification for our St

Johns care centre.

We opened two fully refurbished

care centres at our 25+ year-old

Havelock North and Trentham

villages this year, providing large new

care rooms to meet the needs of

our residents today and into the

future. Following their reopening

these care centres have 75% and 97%

occupancy respectively.

We’ve completed new care centres

at our Cambridge and Cranbourne

North villages, which will be up and

running in FY26. We also plan to

deliver and open care centres at

Whangārei and Waikanae in FY26,

as well as a fully refurbished care

centre at our Levin village during that

year too. Our Prebbleton, Milldale

and Blenheim villages are all due to

open their care centres in FY27.

In FY26 we are expanding our

Summerset telenursing team, which

we call the National Clinical Service

(NCS), to all of our New Zealand

care centres. The NCS is a team of

experienced registered nurses (RNs),

who are there to offer guidance and

support to our clinical teams on the

ground. The NCS provides an extra

layer of support when caring for

residents and does not replace in-

person nursing.

We’ve been clear that we will

continue to invest in care but our

focus will remain on our village

residents and meeting their future

care needs while the care funding

model remains inadequate. While we

have significantly increased our care

profitability, funding still remains an

issue and limits our offering of care

to people not already residing in

our villages.

We were pleased that the New

Zealand government is making

positive steps to addressing care

funding. They announced the

formation of an Aged Care Advisory

Group in October of 2025 to bring

aged care experts from around the

country together to advise on a

more sustainable funding model.

The Advisory Group is expected

to report back to government in

June 2026.

We are optimistic this will

produce a better outcome for

1 2

C H A I R A N D C E O ’ S R E P O R T
older New Zealanders which will

provide appropriate care alongside

adequate funding to allow operators,

big and small, to continue to provide

the necessary services.

Regulation

The New Zealand government

announced in December that they

are planning to make changes to

the Retirement Villages Act in 2026.

The proposed changes, due to go

into an Amendment Bill later in

2026, include ceasing weekly fees

after a resident vacates their home,

preventing operators from charging

for the maintenance of their chattels,

interest to be paid after six months if

a home remains unsold and, most

significantly, retirement villages

must buy-back units if they're not

sold after 12 months.

Summerset's practices already align

with the proposed changes. We

don’t charge for the maintenance

or repairs of chattels we own, our

weekly fees stop as soon as a

resident leaves the village and we

already pay interest to a resident,

or their estate, if their home is

unsold after six months. Though not

a contractual obligation we typically

also repurchase in the rare cases

where a home hasn’t sold within

12 months.

The vast majority of our resale

homes sell within four to five

months, so we don't expect a

legislative change to impact us. We

are, however, concerned what this

change could do to small villages

who provide for different older

customers – this type of mandate

could put a large financial strain on

these smaller organisations putting

more pressure on the total system.

We will continue to engage with

the government and officials and

intend to submit when the Bill goes

to Parliament.

In Australia the new Aged Care Act

came into force in November 2025

– our Australian operations team has

been working throughout FY25 to

ensure we can meet the needs of

the new Act and we’re confident we

will deliver. We feel we’re well placed

to benefit from the Act’s changes

and can meet the new standards

from day one of our care operations

being introduced.

Technology

Aritifical Intelligence (AI) and how it

can make us more efficient has been

a focus for us in FY25. During the

year we commenced a pilot of two

AI solutions – a medical transcription

tool used in many GP practices, and

an AI-powered assistant.

The pilots will allow us to assess

if these tools help our RNs

complete administrative tasks more

quickly and easily, while maintaining

accuracy and quality, and freeing

them up to focus more on residents.

Sustainability

In previous years we have focused

on embedding sustainability, which

we believe we’ve done right across

the business. Now our focus is on

delivering on our sustainability goals

and delivering results.

During 2025 Summerset

accelerated transitioning villages off

gas, continued to expand renewable

energy generation, and continued

to set new benchmarks in waste

minimisation with our construction

waste avoidance programme.

Our achievements have been

recognised with industry awards,

and our buildings are being

celebrated for sustainable design.

As ESG expectations evolve, we

are prioritising energy security,

resilience, and strategic coherence

– ensuring our sustainability

journey delivers real outcomes for

our residents, our business, and

our future.

and milestones this year to reduce

•remain on track to meet our

near-term science-based target

of a 49% reduction in Scope 1&2

emissions intensity per sqm by

2028 (against 2022 base year).

Our sustainability work was

recognised again externally. We won

the Corporate ESG category at

the INFINZ 2025 Awards, and our

Boulcott village was named a finalist

in the Wellington Regional Business

Excellence awards in the Excellence

in Sustainability and Environmental

Practices category.

Beyond awards, we were pleased

to be recognised by Forsyth Barr

again in their fourth Carbon and ESG

Ratings for NZX-listed companies.

They rated us third, up from tenth

last year and they again judged us

as a "leader" based on their criteria.

Also, the Carbon Disclosure Project

(CDP), an internationally recognised

disclosure framework that measures

businesses' competency against

a wide range of climate change

measures, has marked us an A

this year. Being an A List company

signals global leadership in climate

disclosure and action – noting just

2% of organisations who disclose

achieve an A rating.

of this report (page 41) and

Executive and Board changes

During FY25 we announced the

creation of a new Chief Sales and

Marketing Officer role. To date our

sales and marketing functions have

been separate teams who have

worked collaboratively to deliver our

excellent sales results and grow

our brand.

However, our Chief Sales Officer,

Fay French, has decided to take

a step back from the Executive

Leadership Team (ELT), but stay

with the business, following a recent

health diagnosis and Kay Brodie, our

Chief Marketing Officer, is planning

to retire later in 2026. With the

departure of these two successful

and respected members from our

ELT we have decided a single unified

role will be even better positioned

to respond to market dynamics,

streamline campaign execution, and

accelerate decision-making.

David Martin joined Summerset

in January 2026 as the Chief

Sales and Marketing Transformation

Lead. David brings extensive

leadership experience across the

retirement, property, and real

estate sectors. Most recently

at Metlifecare, he led the

integration of sales and marketing

functions, delivered a significant

commercial transformation, and

oversaw a research-led rebrand

that strengthened brand awareness

and preference.

David will use his experience to lead

the formation of this new integrated

team to deliver even stronger results

for the business.

On our Board of Directors our Future

Director, Andrea Scown’s, term with

us ended on 31 May 2025. We want

to thank Andrea for the skills and

different perspectives she brought

to our Board during her time. We look

forward to seeing her Board career

develop in the future.

Looking forward

We continue to believe in our value

proposition in both New Zealand and

Australia going into FY26. Even in

constrained trading conditions we

have continued to see extremely

high demand and record sales

numbers, and we have continued to

deliver on our expected build rate in

both Australia and New Zealand.

We’ll continue to focus on prudently

managing our balance sheet

while growing and embedding

long-term cashflow from our

villages, and delivering for residents

and shareholders.

Finally, on behalf of the Summerset

Board and management, we’d like

to thank our investors, residents and

partners for your commitment to,

and belief in, Summerset’s goals and

future. We’d also like to thank our

Summerset team and their families

for another successful year.

DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO
We benefit from a geographically

diverse portfolio that gives us the

flexibility to adapt our build rate

depending on local market conditions.

BUILD HIGH-QUALITY ASSETS

We pride ourselves on building

and maintaining villages that are

well designed, well located and

enable our residents to interact with

the community. Our expanding

geographical presence is based on

being in growing regions with strong

potential for investment gains.

HIRE SKILLED STAFF AND

HELP THEM THRIVE

We recognise our people as our

most important asset. They underpin

our ability to deliver the best of

life to our residents. We celebrate

their diversity and are committed

to ensuring all our staff are well

remunerated, motivated and safe.

LOOK AFTER OUR RESIDENTS

We want our residents to feel

secure and respected, and our

consistently high satisfaction rates

reflect that. We are also committed

to our continuum-of-care model

and providing residents high-quality

assistance if their needs change as

they age.

PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

We have near, medium and longer

term sustainability plans in place

to reduce our carbon emissions

intensity over time and to monitor

our progress and performance.

We continue to achieve our

sustainability goals.

work to ensure we stay on the

path that points toward our

purpose: bringing the best of life.

Three principles guide us

in the strategy:

• Our people lead the change

• Provide our residents with the

best life

• Deliver appropriate returns

to the shareholders who help

fund our business

We have six strategic pillars, each

with a number of initiatives under

them, that we’ll pursue over the

next ten years to grow and

continue delivering great

experiences for our residents.

Our pillars are: Invest in our

People, Deliver New Zealand’s

best retirement villages, Grow

in Australia, Be a good corporate

citizen, Create attractive new

products and services and

Be a more efficient and

effective business.

DELIVER NEW ZEALAND’S
BEST RETIREMENT VILLAGES

We create vibrant, connected

communities with skilled, caring

and dedicated people right

across New Zealand. We want

to grow the reach of our villages

by making them available to

more retirees in more locations

throughout New Zealand.

FY25 progress:

• Announced purchase of

extension of land at our

Pohutukawa Place village in

New Plymouth

• Delivered a further 120

apartments at St Johns along

with the village courtyard and

bowling green – the village

winning excellence at the NZ

Property Council Awards

opportunities to make us more

effective and efficient in how

we deliver services to residents,

without losing the human touch

and care that we’re known for. It

will be used to make the lives of our

residents simpler, giving them more

time to enjoy retirement.

Our people and

community

We’re proud to be home to more than 9,500

retirement village residents in our vibrant and

diverse communities that are built, run and

supported by more than 3,200 staff.

Our people are the heart of our

business. They fulfil our purpose

by Bringing the best of life to our

residents, every day, and we value

and recognise all that they do.

Across Summerset we rely on a

diverse range of skills and roles,

from designing beautiful villages and

constructing high-quality homes

to welcoming new residents and

delivering exceptional experiences

and care.

We celebrated four of our

Summerset villages achieving their

25

th

birthday milestones. Residents

and teams at Summerset by the

Ranges (Levin), Summerset in the

Vines (Havelock North), Summerset

by the Lake (Taupō) and Summerset

at the Course (Upper Hutt) marked

these special occasions, some even

sharing the moment with founding

residents and staff.

Engaging residents

It was a privilege for us to

be recognised this year for

our exceptional commitment to

customer experience, innovation

and impact in being named

a Customer Champion by the

Australian Financial Review. The

award is a direct result of the

incredible work our teams across

the business are doing every day.

We’re proud to be recognised in

this way and we’ll continue to push

ourselves to improve and grow our

customer offering.

We survey our residents regularly to

tell us if we’re getting these things

right. Our surveys focus on different

aspects of village life and allow us

to make changes at a national level

to experiences and services, but

also allow our village managers to

address any village-specific issues.

In our most recent resident

satisfaction survey, 91% of village and

89% of care residents told us that on

a rating scale of 1 to 5 they are either

very satisfied (5) or satisfied (4). We’re

very pleased to see such strong

results and we’ll continue to focus

on how we can lift these scores.

Events and experiences

We pride ourselves in offering

an engaging and varied events

programme that evolves over time

to suit the diverse and changing

interests of our residents. 

Our Summerset Sessions

programme of events is extremely

popular. This year we added

to our much-loved foundation

events of cooking classes, concerts,

interviews and competitions, with

a new programme, Summerset

Creates, which provided an

opportunity for our artistic residents

to show off their talents.

The first two events – Summerset

Writes and Summerset Through the

Lens (photography) – ignited our

residents’ creativity. From the writing

competition entries, with the theme

“Age is just a number”, we published

a booklet of poems and stories to

coincide with other celebrations in

recognition of International Day of

Older People.

Our Holiday Homes initiative

also expanded further in

FY25 with new apartments

added at our Summerset

St Johns and Summerset

Falls (Warkworth) villages. This

programme offers short-term

accommodation exclusively for

Summerset residents, and their

families and friends, in villages

around New Zealand.

We now have eight villages with fully

furnished homes open for residents

to visit other parts of the country

or to have their families stay in the

2 1

Annual Report 2025
village with them. Holiday Homes

has been extremely popular with

increasing numbers of bookings

across all locations, and an average

three-night stay. Our Richmond

Ranges unit has proven to be the

most popular location with 60%

occupancy, followed by Monterey

Park in Hobsonville. We’ll look for

further opportunities to expand the

portfolio in FY26.

We have invested in our food

services offering, refreshing the

branding of our busy “Divine” village

cafes and rolling out fast-ovens to

quickly cook food in minutes –

reducing wait times for residents. In

our care centres we’ve extended the

menu options to provide residents

with greater variety and choice.

Enhancing resident experience

through technology

We believe that technology has a

major role to play in making our

residents’ lives easier and it is a large

part of our ten-year strategy. We

continue to invest in technology that

enhances the lives and experiences

of our residents.

Lumin, our resident communication

and entertainment system is now

installed at 20 villages and we are

preparing to roll out access to those

villages that don’t currently have it in

2026. Lumin is specially designed for

older users and with it residents can

access entertainment programmes

(including digital radio), receive

newsletters and activity schedules,

book into village events, order

services, and message the village

team or other residents.

Investing in technology to boost

operational efficiency also allows

us to release time for our frontline

teams to spend with residents,

and deliver a great experience

for our residents who interact

with technology.

We ran a pilot for a VCare Activities

App at our Karaka village. Using the

app means that instead of typing

resident notes on a computer, our

diversional therapists can record

information on the phone while

they’re with the resident and spend

more time doing activities.

Our residents and their visitors

often comment on our beautifully

maintained village surroundings.

Our property and housekeeping

teams have received some added

assistance this year as we piloted

and rolled out 33 robotic lawn

mowers to five of our villages, and

76 robotic vacuum cleaners in 22 of

our village centres.

Our operations and group

technology teams have also

explored Artificial Intelligence (AI)

opportunities to support our

frontline staff in our care centres,

and during the year we piloted two

AI solutions.

One is a transcription tool for

resident and registered nurse (RNs)

consultations. Using a smartphone,

our RNs can have the app

transcribe their meeting with a

resident and later upload it into

our resident management software.

This means our RNs can focus on

meaningful face-to-face interactions

with residents instead of writing

notes. It also speeds up the note-

writing process and makes it easier

to keep accurate clinical records.

Another tool is designed to make our

care more meaningful by using AI to

pull information from various secure

sources to provide insights on a

resident and their care. Care staff

can enter prompts which generate

relevant information from care notes

and our policies, giving them instant

access to key details.

Care improvements

Moving into care is a major transition

and making new social connections

can be hard for someone when

they first arrive. This year we

commenced a Resident Buddy

Programme in our care centres

which “buddies-up” new residents

with a resident volunteer to help

Summerset Through the Lens – Wildlife in the Village category won by Alan Martin, Summerset by the Falls, Warkworth

them navigate and settle in. Since

introducing this programme we've

seen an improvement in reducing

the number of new care residents

feeling lonely in their first six weeks.

Our care business saw occupancy

rates this year at 94% in our

developed villages. As we evolve, we

look at what changes we may need

to make to ensure we continue to

provide the care our residents need

and expect. In addition to investing

in new care facilities in new villages,

we are committed to progressively

upgrading our older care centres.

We reopened our fully refurbished

care centres at Summerset in

the Vines (Havelock North) and

Summerset at the Course (Upper

Hutt) earlier this year. Offering

spacious, modern and future-ready

facilities that are also more energy-

efficient with a lower carbon

footprint, the larger rooms with

ensuites and kitchenettes reflect our

commitment to provide care centre

residents with privacy and dignity,

and keeping their wellbeing top

of mind.

The refurbishment of the care centre

at Levin is also in its final stages and

will be completed early 2026.

We have continued our programme

of installing ceiling hoists at all our

care centres to aid residents with

mobility difficulties, with 25 villages

now complete. The ceiling hoists are

far more comfortable, and residents

tell us they feel safer than the manual

hoists previously in use. They’re also

easier to operate for our staff and

reduce the risk of strains when

assisting a resident to move.

Last year at six villages we piloted

our National Clinical Support (NCS)

Service. Summerset RNs provide

village staff with 24/7 online or

phone support. This allows us to

provide better individual care to our

residents and improves efficiency at

our care centres.

The NCS does not replace on-site

nurses but provides an extra layer

of support for care staff. The service

also allows us to share the expertise

of highly qualified RNs across a

number of villages.

Following the successful pilot, we

are expanding NCS and intend for it

to be available to every Summerset

New Zealand care centre by the end

of 2026.

Involvement in our communities

Promoting and furthering our

brand presence, as well as

supporting organisations important

to our residents, means we

continue to support hundreds

of community groups, clubs and

associations as well as our important

national sponsorships.

In local communities

where our villages are,

and will be in the

future, we have worked

with approximately

230 clubs and

organisations including

bowls, golf, bridge and

croquet clubs, Age

Concern, Lions, Rotary,

RSAs and more.

These partnerships help us to

invest in, and support, organisations

that are important to our current

and future residents in our wider

village communities.

With our national sponsorships, we

took the opportunity to add our

name to Netball NZ’s Summerset

Supershot, which was an exciting

addition to the ANZ Premiership and

our partnership.

We’re also excited to have

established two new national

sponsorship arrangements this year.

Technology, including robotic lawnmowers, was introduced to assist village operations

2 3

Annual Report 2025
We partnered with the Pickleball New

Zealand Association as sponsor of

their 2025 NZ Open. The increasing

popularity of the sport of pickleball

among our target audience and

residents has seen us adding

pickleball courts to new villages as

well as to village extensions in the

coming years. 

Our newest partnership is with Golf

New Zealand, commencing in early

2026 and spanning two seasons.

Many Summerset current and future

residents are passionate golfers,

and this collaboration reinforces

our commitment to fostering active,

healthy lifestyles across our villages.

As naming rights partner of the

Charles Tour – New Zealand’s

premier national tour featuring both

professional and amateur players

– we are proud to support a tour

that has launched some of the

country’s top golfers onto the global

stage. Through this new partnership,

we will offer exclusive experiences

for residents, including Pro-Am

days ahead of each tour event,

where players can play alongside

tournament professionals, and a

nationwide Summerset “Stableford”

competition for residents to connect

and compete.

In Australia, as we continue to

grow our brand presence, we will

look to replicate our New Zealand

model and increase our community,

state and national partnerships with

organisations that align with our

residents and their families.

Engaging our people 

Summerset employs more than

3,200 people across our business,

and without their talent and

commitment we could not achieve

our purpose of bringing the best

of life. 

This year we launched

our Employee Value

Proposition (EVP)

“Together we bring

villages to life”.

It’s a shared statement of what our

people contribute and what they can

expect in return. Our EVP reflects

our commitment to creating an

environment where everyone feels

they Belong, can make an Impact,

experience an Inclusive culture, and

Grow their career.

Designed to attract and retain great

people, our EVP shows how a career

at Summerset can evolve and thrive.

We want our people to feel valued,

supported and inspired to make a

meaningful difference every day.

We regularly run engagement

surveys to understand how we’re

doing. Participation rates continue

to rise and our most recent

engagement score was 8.3 out

of 10, placing us again in the

top 25 percent of New Zealand

healthcare providers using the

same engagement survey. We

also measure our Employee Net

Promoter Score (eNPS) – whether

our staff would recommend us as

an employer. Our score of 51% ranks

us in the top 5% of healthcare

providers surveyed.

Each March, Frontliner day honours

the contribution of every village

role to improving residents’ lives. In

FY25 frontline staff received gifts as

well as “gratitude walls” in villages

and online, where residents, families

and colleagues shared messages of

thanks and appreciation.

We celebrated our exceptional

people at our annual Applause

Awards, where Summerset’s

outstanding achievers are

recognised. This year there was

a record number of nominations

across 30 award categories, with

finalists honoured at a gala event that

was live-streamed to villages and

on Facebook, enabling residents,

friends, families and colleagues to

join the celebration.

Attracting and retaining talent

We continue to build awareness

of the diverse career opportunities

Summerset offers, supported by our

EVP, which helps position us as

an employer of choice. Inclusive

hiring practices remain a priority,

ensuring all candidates have a fair

opportunity to compete for roles.

Summerset encourages inclusive

hiring practices to help create a

diverse workforce that encourages

innovation, better decision-making

and improved performance, while

also creating a positive environment

that enhances retention. Inclusive

hiring practices ensure that all

candidates have a fair opportunity to

compete for jobs, foster a positive

work environment and enhance

employee retention.

In our construction business we offer

a Construction Management Cadet

programme, providing motivated

people with practical experience

across multiple construction

disciplines. After a minimum of

two years' work, successful cadets

graduate as fully trained site

supervisors or junior quantity

surveyors. This year our seventh

cadet successfully completed the

programme, an important milestone

in creating career pathways and

developing talent within a market-

leading organisation.

Retention remains

one of our greatest

strengths in an industry

where turnover

is common.

In FY25, our overall retention rate

reached 84%, voluntary turnover

dropped to 14% and nurse turnover

at just 8% – well below sector

averages. These results reflect

our commitment to creating a

workplace where people feel valued

and supported, reinforced by

Health, safety and wellbeing

Safeguarding the health, safety, and

wellbeing of everyone who works

with us, visits us or lives with us is a

top priority.

Our Health, Safety and Wellbeing

strategy: Safe People, Safe Process,

Safe Places focuses on managing

critical risks across the business. This

year, we conducted comprehensive

reviews of Moving and Transferring

Care Residents, and Crane and

Lifting Failures, and continued work

on Fire and Natural Disasters,

Infectious Diseases, Working at

Height, and Temporary Works.

These reviews provided valuable

insights into risk controls and

ensured we have the appropriate

measures in place to prevent

significant injury, harm or loss of life,

along with assurance to our ELT and

Board of the work being done.

We remain committed to

continuously improving the

systems and processes that

help us to proactively identify,

manage and mitigate critical risk

while enabling us to measure

performance effectively.

Our highest critical risk exposure

is working at heights. A

dedicated working group has

reviewed incidents and developed

interventions to reduce this risk and

prevent future occurrences, making

excellent progress during the year.

In FY24 we established a baseline

of three key safety performance

metrics to monitor our performance

– timely reporting (<48 hrs), timely

investigation completion (within 14

days) and timely action completion

(closed out on time). In FY25 we

achieved significant improvements

year-on-year across all three,

with New Zealand construction

exceeding our 80% target for

each measure.

These metrics showed that

•issues were reported earlier

(enabling faster identification

of risks, quicker site-level

responses, and more timely

injury management support for

impacted team members)

•investigations were commenced

and closed more promptly

(improving the speed at

which underlying causes were

understood and corrective

actions identified)

•corrective actions were

implemented sooner (helping

reduce the likelihood

of repeat incidents and

strengthening our overall risk-

management performance).

We also saw a >25% reduction

in Actual and Potential Severity

1 safety events, showing a

strengthened overall health and

safety performance in 2025. These

insights will continue to guide our

efforts to create safer environments

and drive ongoing improvement

across the business.

We’ve intentionally moved away

from lagging injury metrics because

they don’t provide meaningful

insight into whether critical risks are

being effectively managed. Injury

frequency statistics report what has

already gone wrong and measures

past failures, not present system

effectiveness. The New Zealand

Business Leaders Health & Safety

Forum also recommends moving

away from these rates as indicators

of performance.

Our wellbeing programme supports

physical, mental and financial health

through a calendar of initiatives and

regular communications, helping

our people manage both personal

and work-related wellbeing.

We continue to partner with MATES

in Construction, which recognises

the industry's heightened mental

health challenges.

Recognising and celebrating our people is central to our culture

2 6

O U R P E O P L E A N D C O M M U N I T Y
All Summerset construction sites

are now MATES in Construction

NZ accredited, demonstrating our

commitment to psychologically safe

workplaces, and equipping teams to

support colleagues, especially when

someone may be struggling.

Our commitment to diversity

and inclusion

At Summerset we are committed

to creating an inclusive workplace

where every person feels a sense of

equity, inclusion and belonging.

We believe that diversity makes

us stronger, enabling us to better

connect with our residents and

deliver on our purpose every day.

A workforce with varied

thinking styles, backgrounds,

experiences and abilities helps us

understand residents' needs and

respond effectively.

Throughout the year we have

supported a comprehensive

calendar of diversity and inclusion

awareness events to educate

and empower our people. These

included Matariki, Te Wiki o

te Reo Māori, Pride week and

mental health awareness. With

our growing presence in Australia

we introduced initiatives such as

National Reconciliation Week to

reflect our commitment across

both countries.

Summerset’s construction team

launched the "Imagine" campaign,

developed in consultation

with Summerset’s Women in

Construction Committee and our

people and culture and marketing

teams to encourage diversity and

consideration on our sites.

This initiative followed insights from

the annual Women in Construction

survey, highlighting opportunities

to improve workplace inclusion on

sites. The campaign encourages

teams to recognise unconscious

bias and its impact, fostering

a more respectful and inclusive

environment for all.

Our villages

Despite a subdued business environment and

property market we have continued to achieve

and deliver.

Our sustainable growth strategy,

sector-leading land bank and

consistent build rates have enabled

us to meet continued demand for

our high-quality retirement living

offering and has seen Summerset lift

the value of the company by $1.32

per share to achieve a Net Tangible

Assets per share of $13.75.

In 2025 our build programme has

continued to perform, and we’ve

delivered new homes across 15

villages throughout New Zealand,

and at two in Australia including

the first homes at our second

village, Chirnside Park. Even in a very

challenging economic environment

we saw continued demand and

interest, because our residents are

motivated by many factors when

deciding to live in a retirement village

– a desire for more community,

security, health changes, lifestyle

and much more.

Record levels of interest

We have experienced high levels

of demand in our villages with

record sales settlements and strong

presales in our developing villages.

Our strongest new sales

performance villages were Boulcott,

Pāpāmoa, Bell Block, Waikanae and

St Johns, which celebrated its first

anniversary in October and where

120 new homes were delivered

in 2025.

We delivered the first homes at our

fifth Canterbury village – Summerset

Rangiora – in the first half of the year

and welcomed the first residents

in September. We also welcomed

residents to the new care centre

at Boulcott and the refurbished

care centres at Trentham and

Havelock North.

Since introducing the sale of care

suites under ORA, an alternative to

charging a daily premium rate, the

greater financial certainty of an ORA

has allowed residents to use the

equity they have already rather than

having to pay daily charges. This

has been well received by residents,

with sales continuing to exceed

our forecasts.

Our moving service continues to

be a highly valued resource for

incoming residents and we are

proud to be the only retirement

village provider offering dedicated

in-house moving services to

incoming residents.

Growth, development

and construction

The sector has good underlying

demand which is only set to increase

as we benefit from an ageing

population. In New Zealand the

population of over 75-year-olds is

expected to double by 2048, and

nearly triple over the next 50 years,

while in Victoria, Australia over the

next 40 years that population group

is expected to increase from around

550,000 today, to around 1.2 million.

Summerset is well placed to

maximise benefit from that demand

with a current land bank of 5,499

retirement units and 1,173 care units

across New Zealand and Australia.

Supporting that growth pipeline, our

design and consenting programme

remains very well positioned in

both New Zealand and Australia

and we maintain very strong

levels of product and geographic

differentiation, building in 22

locations across both countries.

As a largely broadacre developer,

building our villages in stages means

we have the ability to respond

quickly to any change in demand

and/or market pressures, including

making decisions around timing to

start building new villages and main

buildings. This also allows us to

recycle capital quickly to continue

investing in our growth.

New Zealand

Development

Summerset has the largest and most

diverse land bank in the New Zealand

retirement village industry and we

continue to look for opportunities

to find quality sites with competitive

pricing which will enable us to grow

our business and introduce more

New Zealanders to our retirement

village lifestyle.

2 9

Annual Report 2025
Following a number of key site

acquisitions in 2024, while we

have reviewed several potential

opportunities this year we have not

purchased any full new village sites

in New Zealand.

We continue, however, to seek

opportunities to extend popular

villages, and during the year

we purchased adjoining land at

our Summerset Pohutukawa Place

village. Additionally, with strong

interest in our Waikanae village, we

applied for and received resource

consent for a new extension

stage on land previously earmarked

for divestment. Both of these

extensions will add additional homes

and extended amenities. 

Preparing and consenting our

current land bank continues to be

a focus for us. During the year

we settled our Belmont (Auckland)

land purchase that was announced

at the end of 2024, with part

payment through an innovative

share issuance.

We were pleased to have received

resource consent (fast track) for

our Rotorua village and successfully

rezoned our site in Mosgiel to

residential zoning and received

resource consents there. Our

Mission Hills site in Napier is also

progressing through the consenting

phases, as are the Boulcott and

Blenheim extensions announced

in 2024.

Construction

During the year we have delivered

637 new homes under ORA

in New Zealand and have

made significant progress with

construction underway at a

total of 18 villages across 11

regions, including three care

centre refurbishments.

Our team had more

village centre and

commercial buildings

under construction

in New Zealand at

the same time than

ever before, with

twelve projects across

New Zealand active

at various stages

throughout 2025.

This is a significant achievement,

reflecting the scale and strength of

our pipeline and the experience and

dedication of our people to deliver.

These major builds included our

Boulcott village with the delivery of

123 units, including care and external

amenities, and the completion of the

village centre building at Cambridge.

We have a further five village centre

buildings under construction and on

track for delivery over the next 12

months, including Whangārei and

Waikanae early in 2026, followed by

Milldale, Prebbleton and Blenheim

later in the year. In addition

to providing our superb range

of recreational amenities for the

residents to enjoy, our village centres

also include serviced apartments

and care centres.

At our St Johns village the

second stage of construction, two

apartment blocks bringing 120 new

homes, was delivered. Final village

amenities including the recreational

bowling green have now been

completed also.

The first stage of our Half Moon

Bay (Auckland) village is progressing

as planned, and civil works have

now been completed at our Kelvin

Grove (Palmerston North) site with

construction now underway and first

deliveries expected late 2026.  Civil

works on our Cashmere Oaks

(Masterton) village will commence at

the start of 2026.

O U R V I L L A G E S
Our Rangiora village delivered its first

homes, welcoming its first residents

in September, and we completed

our Te Awa Village with the final

residential deliveries at the end

of 2025. 

All our villages under construction

met their year-end delivery targets.

This has been achieved thanks to

agile project management teams,

robust procurement, planning

and consenting processes, and

designing our villages in-house.

We also have long-standing and

reliable supply agreements that have

enabled us to secure materials well

in advance.

In FY26 we expect to build between

650-700 homes in New Zealand. We

are keeping our build rate relatively

flat in the coming year to manage our

stock numbers and focus on selling

down the homes we've delivered.

Recognition of excellence

Summerset Boulcott was a finalist

for the Sustainability Award at the

2025 2degrees Wellington Regional

Business Excellence Awards in

the Excellence in Sustainable &

Environmental Practices category,

and St Johns received an Excellence

award at the New Zealand Property

Council awards in the Retirement

Living and Aged Care category.

We were also proud to celebrate the

achievements of our procurement

team who won the Chartered

Institute of Procurement &

Supply (CIPS) Australasia’s Best

Procurement Transformation &

Change Programme category at

the Excellence in Procurement &

Supply Awards. Winning the award

is recognition of the work the

team has put in to develop best

practice procurement over the last

five years to support Summerset’s

development and construction

activities, while developing a

companywide procurement policy

that is also socially and

environmentally responsible. 

Australia

Having delivered 56 homes to

be sold under ORA in 2025,

Summerset’s footprint in Australia

continues to grow with four villages

now under development.

At our first village, Cranbourne North,

a total of 88 homes have now been

delivered (including assisted living

apartments and care suites).

We completed the village centre

building in November which

contains all the community

amenities including a wellness hub,

café, lounge, library and theatre.

It also includes our first residential

aged care home and assisted living

apartments, marking the milestone

launch of our continuum-of-care

model into Australia.

The village centre will be officially

opened, and welcome its first

residents, in early 2026. With the

building now complete our team’s

focus has been on operational

readiness of these facilities, ensuring

we have the staffing, systems

and Commonwealth Government

registration required to provide aged

care in Australia.

We’ve also delivered

the first homes at

our second village at

Chirnside Park.

The format and build phasing for this

village’s construction will see some

further work completed in the first

half of 2026 before the first homes

are ready to welcome residents so as

not to impact their enjoyment of the

village. We plan to deliver another

30-40 homes at Chirnside Park by

the end of the year.

In the meantime, and to support the

high levels of interest being received,

a village Experience Centre and sales

suite have been opened on-site.

These provide a welcoming space

showcasing the future of Chirnside

Summerset Waikanae's village centre will open in FY26

3 1

Annual Report 2025
Park, including a replica kitchen and

ensuite to offer a preview of the

quality and style of the homes, along

with a 3D model of the village.

Interest in the village has been very

high so far and we expect to see

positive sales results through FY26.

At our third village in Torquay,

infrastructure and enabling works

are now complete and civil works are

progressing well as we prepare the

site for full construction in 2H26.

In November the

sod-turning event at

our fourth Victorian

village, Oakleigh

South, marked

the commencement

of early

construction works.

The village will feature a boutique

offering of 100 independent

living homes and assisted living

apartments, and a 66-bed residential

care home, all designed to support

residents as their needs evolve.

Our Mernda site rezoning was

formally adopted by Council and

was approved and gazetted by the

Victorian Minister for Planning in

December, and our Drysdale and

Craigieburn sites are continuing

through their consenting processes.

We expect to deliver between

100-150 homes to be sold under

ORA in Australia during FY26, and

as these sites scale up, we believe it

is reasonable to expect an Australian

build rate of around 300 units by end

of FY27.

We have learned from our successful

New Zealand model that there

are benefits and efficiencies to be

gained for our Australia business

to move to self-management of

procurement and construction. Our

Australian team has commenced

implementation of Summerset

New Zealand's mature, industry-

leading villa design production

processes with the Torquay villas

targeted to be the first units that

adopt our internal construction

development management.

We will be implementing this model

with a staged approach, starting

with our residential developments to

project manage subcontractors and

monitor for consistent quality across

sites. The complex commercial

builds of our village centres will still

be managed by partners at this stage

as we grow our capability.

We continue to look for the

right opportunities to add to our

Australian land bank, including in

Queensland, applying a prudent and

disciplined approach around what

we buy to ensure that it meets

our strict financial and non-financial

investment hurdles.

In late FY25 we lodged a

Planning Permit with the Victorian

Development Facilitation Panel for a

new village in Mornington, Victoria.

We are hopeful of securing the

consent this year which will include

a retirement village, assisted living

apartments and aged care. We

believe this opportunity will be

a great addition to our growing

Australian portfolio.

Mornington is situated

approximately 65km southeast of

Melbourne's CBD, and with its

natural beauty, lifestyle amenities

and connectivity make it an excellent

location. The area is renowned for

its coastal lifestyle, with pristine

beaches, a vibrant café culture,

boutique shopping, golf courses and

a number of award-winning wineries

making it a sought after location

for retirees.

Construction is progressing well at our Oakleigh South village in Melbourne

Delivering on

sustainability

We have worked hard to make sustainability

a part of all of our work across our villages,

construction sites and offices in New Zealand

and Australia.

After a number of years embedding

sustainability into the business,

we spent FY25 executing on the

opportunities in front of us. We

focused on resilience, delivering

tangible and real-world impacts

against the risks that climate change

poses for us as a business.

During FY25 Summerset accelerated

its transition off gas, expanded

our renewable energy generation

capability, reduced our emissions

further, continued to set

new benchmarks in waste

minimisation, and implemented

further environmental, social and

governance (ESG) initiatives. We

also hit our internal and external

benchmarks again, including

the targets attached to our

sustainability-linked lending (SSL). 

Sustainability and ESG practices

are now commonplace throughout

Summerset’s business units, and our

teams are working collaboratively

across multiple projects that impact

design, construction and operations

in both New Zealand and Australia. 

Our achievements have been

recognised with industry awards,

and our buildings are being

celebrated for sustainable design. 

Alongside this Annual Report

we have delivered our fourth

Sustainability Review, which also

includes our third mandatory climate

disclosures (a requirement under

New Zealand law). Our latest

Sustainability Review and Climate

Related Disclosures FY25 report is

now available on the Summerset

website at www.summerset.co.nz/

investor-centre/esg-reporting. 

A high-level update on some

key sustainability activities during

2025 is below; please see

our Sustainability Review for

more information. 

In 2025 we won the Corporate

ESG category at the Institute

of Financial Professionals New

Zealand’s awards, we achieved

an A rating from the Carbon

Disclosure Project (a signal of global

leadership in climate disclosure and

action), our Karaka and Boulcott

villages were recognised by the

Retirement Villages Association and

the Wellington Regional Business

Excellence awards respectively for

their sustainability activities, and

Forsyth Barr judged us the third-

highest ranking company and a

"leader" in their ESG ratings for NZX-

listed companies.

Resilience

A key focus for the business in

2025 was our resilience. Wherever

we can we’ve looked for sustainable

solutions that increase our ability

to, wherever practicable, operate

independently of external events. 

Two key initiatives to increase our

resilience were our accelerated

transition away from the use of

gas and our continued roll-out

of solar panels. Both initiatives

decrease our reliance on utilities

that can be impacted by issues

like power cuts and they both have

environmental benefits.

We’ve recognised the importance of

moving away from gas at our villages

due to the energy supply risks (both

in supply of gas in future and the

increasing cost) and because of the

climate issues the use of gas creates.

4 1

Annual Report 2025
During FY25 we made the decision

to accelerate our transition away

from utility gas markedly, setting

a target to remove gas supply

from our remaining 28 villages by

2028. Over the course of the year,

we successfully transitioned seven

villages off gas as part of this

programme. We now have a plan in

place to work through the remaining

gas villages over the next three years.

Solar energy remains a pivotal part of

our resilience plan while at the same

time providing tangible benefits in

terms of reducing our power costs

and consumption.

We rolled out a further 1,500+ solar

panels over the year – retrofitting

some older villages and installing

many as part of the construction

of new buildings too. Our solar

panels are typically located on

our village centre buildings and

provide power for resident homes

and amenities within these buildings.

This can include the café and pool,

as well as the care centre and

serviced apartments.

Summerset’s Richmond Ranges

village has had solar panels in

place for a year now and saved

approximately $35,000 in electricity

costs, a better return than we’d

initially anticipated, and we expect to

see similar savings across our other

solar villages.

We’ve also begun to investigate

options for our residents living

outside of our village centres too.

We’re now running a pilot at our

Hobsonville village where interested

residents can have solar panels

installed on the roof of their villa. The

pilot will be monitored throughout

FY26 to test its viability for a

further roll-out.

Waste diversion and

embodied carbon

We continue to focus on our

highly successful construction

waste diversion programme. In

2025 we diverted 5,624 tonnes of

construction waste from landfill. 

We believe there are still

opportunities to do more, and our

construction team is focused on

finding efficiencies wherever they

can. This includes looking at how we

can reduce our embodied carbon.

Embodied carbon refers to the total

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

associated with the production

of a building's materials, from

extraction through manufacturing,

transportation and construction.

In FY25 we expanded our focus

beyond the built environment to

identify opportunities to reduce the

embodied carbon in our civil works,

starting with more sustainable

underground pipe solutions. 

Also, we aim to use 30% reduced

embodied carbon concrete product

wherever we can in Summerset

builds in New Zealand. At our Half

Moon Bay village we’re using a 37%

reduced concrete where possible in

parts of the build.

This year, we took a significant step

forward by measuring the embodied

carbon of our typical village centre

buildings (these have the care

centre, serviced apartments, café

and other village amenities) for the

first time. Results show a reduction

between the original generation of

buildings and the new versions –

similar to the improvements we’ve

previously achieved in our villa and

townhouse building typologies.

We have now standardised the

use of reduced‑carbon concrete

(EC30) for all future builds and

are investigating higher‑reduction

mixes as the market evolves. We

have also broadened our materials

database through additional

Environmental Product Declarations

(EPDs), giving us more accurate

measurement and clearer levers

for further reductions.  We are

reducing embodied carbon by

designing out waste—optimising

Hobsonville residents Rodney & Carol and their new solar panels on their villa

4 2

D E L I V E R I N G O N S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y
building modules, reducing off‑cuts,

and refining joinery and roofing

specifications to achieve more

efficient material use.

These results reinforce the value

of design‑led carbon reduction

and support our continued work

with designers, contractors and

suppliers to reduce waste and

improve efficiency.

Toitū-certified

Following Summerset’s extensive

initiatives and investment (most

notably in our gas decarbonisation

acceleration and our solar panel roll-

out) we’ve transitioned from Toitū

Net Carbon Zero to being Toitū

Carbon Reduce certified.

Transitioning to Toitū Carbon

Reduce keeps us within the

respected Toitū framework, while

focusing on verified emissions

reduction, rather than offsetting our

unavoidable emissions.

This is a strategic shift to

align with our direct emissions

reduction initiatives and reflects the

significant progress we’ve made

in the implementation of our own

sustainability initiatives programme.

Our emissions reporting under

Toitū Carbon Reduce will remain

independently assured and aligned

with our emissions reduction targets

and SLL requirements.

Social and governance

In addition to our environmental

work we continue to make changes

to our practices to create more social

and governance benefits.

We work with residents and staff

on a number of sustainability

initiatives, from food waste to

textile repurposing, creative reuse

of household items, and community

recycling initiatives like battery and

soft plastics collection. 

At a company level we have

continued to invest heavily in aged

care, which is very important to our

residents as well as the communities

that we work in. Providing modern,

high-quality aged care is essential

to give older New Zealanders and

Australians what they want and need

as their health changes.

In FY25 we opened fully refurbished

care centres at our Havelock North

and Trentham villages as well as

completing brand new care centres

at Cambridge and our first one

in Australia at Cranbourne North

in Victoria. We are on track to

deliver a further five village centre

buildings, all with purpose-built care

facilities, in the next 12 months at

our Waikanae, Whangārei, Milldale,

Prebbleton and Blenheim villages.

For our staff we continually look

at how we can provide meaningful

career pathways and opportunities

for our people and to give them

every opportunity to be at their best

in and out of work.

One of the most significant initiatives

this year was the launch of our

EVP. This represents Summerset's

commitment to our people and

our people's commitment to each

other, defining what they can expect

from working with us and what they

contribute in return.

Our emissions profile

Summerset’s total emissions in 2025

were 91,787 tCO

2

e, an increase of

82,980 tCO

2

e compared to our 2022

base year. This rise is primarily driven

by the reporting requirements of

Scope 3 value chain emissions,

which now form the largest part of

our carbon footprint. 

Key contributors within Scope 3

are Category 1 capital goods and

2 purchased goods and services,

together accounting for over three-

quarters of our total emissions,

largely due to our expanding

construction activities. 

While overall emissions in these

categories are expected to rise as we

grow and welcome more residents,

gas usage under Scope 1 is expected

to taper off as our gas transition

programme progresses and no new

villages are connected to gas for

utility use.

Annual Report 2025
Electricity and gas remain the main

sources of Summerset’s Scope 1 and

2 emissions, essential for delivering

high-quality care through heating,

cooking, and laundry services. 

Importantly, our emissions intensity

continues to decrease, with

emissions per square metre of

developed land steadily reducing

since 2017.

This progress reflects improvements

in construction, design, operational

efficiencies, and the adoption

of decarbonisation initiatives,

including sourcing renewable

energy certificates. 

With most of our greenhouse gas

emissions now in our value chain,

we have continued to work with our

suppliers on how we drive down

our Scope 3 emissions and bring

through lower carbon products

and services. 

Last year, we announced our

commitment to a rigorous near-term

science-based emissions reduction

target, which has been validated by

the Science Based Targets initiative

(SBTi). This requires a 49% reduction

in Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity

per square metre by 2028, using

FY22 as our baseline. In FY25 we

achieved a 9% reduction toward

this target, (excludes renewable

energy certificates).

We remain focused on delivering

on this ambitious goal through

operational efficiencies, renewable

energy procurement and our

targeted decarbonisation initiatives.

Our
performance

Artist impression of Summerset Chirnside Park

Annual Report 2025

4 6

O U R P E R F O R M A N C E
Summerset has delivered another

year of strong underlying profit

performance and maintained

balance sheet resilience despite a

challenging operating environment.

Financial performance overview

Underlying profit for the year

ended 31 December 2025 increased

by 13% on the prior year to

$234.2 million (2024: $206.4 million),

driven primarily by record new

sales and resales in the year

and the continual growth in our

portfolio which has increased our

deferred management fees (DMFs).

New sales increased by 217 units

on the prior year (+37%) while

resales increased by 105 (+16%),

with ten villages having 30+ resales

for the year. We saw resales

across 32 different villages and

maintained a strong geographical

spread across the country, with

only 43% of resales coming from

the Auckland, Wellington and

Christchurch regions.

Deliveries of units were in line

with 2024 – 693, compared to

708 in 2024, with 637 NZ units

and 56 Australian units delivered

in 2025. Revenue for the year

grew 13% to $361.8 million (2024:

$319.9 million), reflecting village

revenue growth from deliveries

within our developing villages and

continued high rates of care

occupancy in existing villages.

Profits from operations increased by

20% on FY24 to $120.6 million –

driven by higher DMF revenue as a

result of the record sales year and fee

increases. This is partially offset by

increased care and village expenses

due to higher staffing costs related

to the higher care occupancy. We

continue to see wages and costs

increasing at a rate higher than

the increases to public funding, in

particular nurses' wages, council

rates, insurance and power.

Long-term growth

A key component of underlying

profit is the realised development

margin on new sales, which

was $154.9 million in 2025

(2024: $118.4 million). Our overall

development margin was 27.8%,

slightly down on FY24 (28.9%) due

to a shift in the mix of new

sale settlements with a higher

proportion of care units sold than

in previous years. We expect

that development margins will be

maintained within the 20–25% range

over the medium term.

Good margins reflect the

advantage of having strong

in-house capabilities for each

stage of village development

including land acquisition, planning,

consenting, design, procurement

and construction management.

We continue to work to manage

cost inflation across our build

pipeline through leveraging from

scale, standardisation and mature

procurement planning.

Summary of sales

and developments

Summerset had another record

sales year, with 1,560 unit sales of

occupation rights (2024: 1,238), with

805 new unit sales (18 in Australia)

and 755 sales of existing units.

Average gross proceeds per new

sale settlement of $693,000 was

slightly down from $696,000 in 2024

due to the higher proportion of

care units settled in FY25 with the

care bed conversion programme

commencing. Realised resale gain

increased by 9% to $104.5 million in

2025. Average gross proceeds per

resale settlement were $582,000,

similar to 2024 of $581,000. Key

development milestones included

the delivery of our Cambridge

village's main building, and an

additional two blocks at St Johns

(120 units). In Australia, we delivered

a further 56 units: 46 units at

Cranbourne North and our first 10

units at Chirnside Park.

Net

profit after tax

Summerset recorded a net profit

after tax of $259.7 million for

the year ended 31 December

2025, down from $332.0 million

in 2024. This year-on-year change

is largely reflective of the fair

value movement of investment

properties recognised in 2025,

relative to 2024. The fair value

movement in 2025 of $264.5 million

included $78.7 million from new

units delivered and $78.8 million

from uplifts to retirement unit

pricing across the year. Signs of

optimism in the wider property

market gave us confidence to

modestly increase portfolio pricing

as the year progressed, and this was

also seen by our external valuers who

lifted unit pricing and growth rates

to match expectations of improving

house prices as we move into 2026

and beyond.

Business growth and expenses

Summerset derives its revenue

from selling units (DMFs) and

providing village and care services.

Summerset’s revenue increased as a

result of higher volumes, reflective

of the continuing growth and

scale of our operations. DMFs on

Summerset’s units sold under ORA

were $137.2 million in 2025 (2024:

$121.4 million). The gains reflect the

increase in the number, occupancy

and value of Summerset’s portfolio

of units. Underlying profit is a

non-GAAP measure. A detailed

explanation is included in Note 2 to

the Financial Statements (see page

62). In general terms, underlying

profit removes the fair value

movement of investment property

and reinstates the realised gains

associated with our resales and

the development margin associated

with our new sales. 

Summerset’s total unit portfolio

reached 8,673 (2024: 7,970), and

at year end there were 541 new

units and 208 resale units available

for sale, which represents 9.7% of

4 7

Annual Report 2025
our total portfolio (2024: 9.5%). The

slight increase is largely due to the

high number of deliveries in Q4 2025

(278 units). Occupancy in our mature

care centres was steady at 94%

(2024: 94%), which is above the

industry average of 90%. Total

operating expenses were managed

well, increasing by 16% to

$328.6 million in 2025 (2024:

$284.1 million). This increase was

mainly due to the start-up costs and

growth in headcount of developing

villages, of approximately $15 million,

along with associated increases in

operational costs from higher

occupancy. Inflationary cost

pressures were also a key driver of

the overall increase, due to higher

wage costs (including increased

care wage costs at a rate above the

level of public funding increases),

general cost growth across head

office functions, and higher rates,

utilities and insurance across our

properties.

Net cash from operating activities

Summerset’s net cash from

operating activities was

$548.2 million for the year, up 23.7%

from 2024 (2024: $443.2 million).

This was principally driven by

increased receipts from residents

but reduced by increased costs of

providing care and village operations

as our resident numbers grow.

Summerset is a growth company

and reinvests operating cash flows

back into the business to finance

future growth. In 2025 Summerset

invested $722.4 million, primarily

in relation to new and existing

retirement villages and care centres

(2024: $683.1 million).

Assets rose to $9.2 billion

Total assets rose 15% to $9.2 billion

at 31 December 2025 (2024:

$8.1 billion), mainly due to growth in

the size and value of Summerset’s

investment property, which reached

$8.2 billion (2024: $7.3 billion).

had property, plant and equipment

valued at $925.3 million (2024:

$602.8 million), most of this

being care centres (these are

operated to provide services and

are therefore not included as

investment property). An increased

embedded value of $1.9 billion

(2024: $1.7 billion) demonstrates

future cash that can be generated

when units are resold. Interest-

bearing debt of $1,971.4 million was

21% of total assets at year end

(2024: $1,714.3 million). The year-end

debt at face value is made up of

$1,366.2 million of bank borrowings

and $600.0 million of retail bonds.

Summerset also has residents' loans

of $3.3 billion (2024: $2.9 billion).

This is in the form of licences paid

by residents under ORAs. These are

repayable when residents vacate

units and the associated occupation

rights are resold.

2025 dividends

Summerset will pay a final dividend

of 13.2 cents per share (cps) on

26 March 2026, making a full payout

for the 2025 year of 24.5 cps

(2025: 24.5 cps). Board policy for

shareholder distributions continues

to maintain a payout range of 20–

50% of each year’s underlying profit.

The 2025 distribution of $59.2 million

represents 25.3% of underlying

profit ($234.2 million). Summerset

continues to offer shareholders

a dividend reinvestment option,

including a 2% discount to market

share price.

1. General information

Reporting entity

The consolidated financial statements presented for the year ended 31 December 2025 are for Summerset Group Holdings Limited

(the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group"). The Group develops, owns and operates integrated

retirement villages.

Summerset Group Holdings Limited is registered in New Zealand under the Companies Act 1993 and is a FMC Reporting Entity for

the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX), being

Accounting policies
Accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and that are relevant to the understanding of the financial

statements are provided throughout the accompanying notes.

The accounting policies adopted have been applied consistently throughout the periods presented in these financial statements.

The Group adopted all mandatory new and amended NZ IFRS Standards and Interpretations and there has been no material impact

on the Group's financial statements.

In April 2024, the IASB issued NZ IFRS 18

Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements that is effective for the accounting period

that begins on or after 1 January 2027. This standard has not been early adopted in preparing these financial statements. This standard

introduces new requirements on presentation within the income statement (including specified totals and subtotals) and additional

note disclosures. The impact of this standard is being assessed by the Group.

The IASB has also issued amendments to NZ IFRS 9

Financial Instruments and NZ IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures effective

1 January 2026. These cover the classification and disclosure of financial instruments with features linked to environmental, social

and corporate governance targets. These amendments have not been early adopted in preparing these financial statements and the

impact is being assessed by the Group.

There are no other new standards, amendments or interpretations that have been issued and are not yet effective, that are expected

to have a significant impact on the Group.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In preparing the financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported

amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during

the period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Estimates and assumptions are regularly evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations

of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The principal areas of judgement in preparing these

financial statements are described in the following notes:

•Deferred management fees – Note 4

•Deferred taxation – Note 7

•Interest rate swaps – Note 13

•Revenue in advance – Note 4

•Valuation of investment property – Note 10

•Valuation of buildings and land – Note 9

Comparative information

Certain comparative information has been updated to conform with the current year’s presentation.

6 1

Annual Report 2025
Consolidated notes to the financial statements (continued)

The Group has updated comparative information to reflect the restatement of investment property fair value movements. The

investment property valuations did not correctly account for loans to residents in accordance with NZ IAS 40 Investment Property,

which has reduced the residents’ loans liability within the calculation of investment property. As a result, the comparative information

has been restated to correct the overstatement of investment property and fair value gains. The adjustment had no effect on cash

flows and banking covenants.

1 The fair value of investment property has been restated as detailed in Note 1 comparative information.

Underlying profit is a non-GAAP measure and differs from NZ IFRS profit for the period. Underlying profit does not have a standardised

meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar financial information presented by other entities.

The Directors have provided an underlying profit measure in addition to IFRS profit to assist readers in determining the impact of

fair value movements, realised gains associated with development and resales activity, impairment and tax expense in the Group’s

6 2

income statement. The measure is used internally in conjunction with other measures to monitor performance and make investment
decisions. Underlying profit is a measure that the Group uses consistently across reporting periods. Underlying profit is used to

determine the dividend pay-out to shareholders.

This statement presented is for the Group, prepared in accordance with the Basis of preparation: underlying profit described below.

Basis of preparation: underlying profit

Underlying profit is determined by taking profit for the period determined under NZ IFRS, adjusted for the impact of the following:

a)Less fair value movement of investment property and other assets: reversal of investment property valuation changes recorded

in NZ IFRS profit for the period, which comprise both realised and non-realised valuation movements. This is reversed and

replaced with realised development margin and realised resale gains during the period, effectively removing the unrealised

component of the fair value movement of investment property.

b)(Less)/add (impairment reversal)/impairment of assets and other non-cash items: remove the impact of non-operating one-off

items and non-cash care centre valuation changes recorded in NZ IFRS profit for the period. Care centres are valued

semi-annually (2024: annually), with fair value gains flowing through to the revaluation reserve unless the gain offsets a

previous impairment to fair value that was recorded in NZ IFRS profit. Where there is any impairment of a care centre, or

reversal of a previous impairment that impacts NZ IFRS profit for the period, this is eliminated for the purposes of determining

underlying profit.

c)Add realised gain on resales: add the realised gains across all resales of occupation rights during the period. The realised gain

for each resale is determined to be the difference between the licence price for the previous occupation right for a unit and

the occupation right resold for that same unit during the period, with recognition point being the settlement of the resold unit.

Realised resale gains exclude deferred management fees and refurbishment costs.

d)Add realised development margin: add realised development margin across all new sales of occupation rights during the

period, with the recognition point being the cash settlement. Realised development margin is the margin earned on the first

time sale of an occupation right following the development of a unit. The margin for each new sale is determined to be the

licence price for the occupation right, less the cost of developing that unit.

Components of the cost of developing units include directly attributable construction costs and a proportionate share of the

following costs:

◦Infrastructure costs

◦Land cost on the basis of the purchase price of the land

◦Interest during the build period

◦Head office costs directly related to the construction of units  

All costs above include non-recoverable GST.

Development margin excludes the costs of developing common areas within the retirement village (including a share of the

proportionate costs listed above). This is because these areas are assets that support the sale of occupation rights for not just

the new sale but for all subsequent resales. It also excludes the costs of developing care centres.

Where costs are apportioned across more than one asset, the apportionment methodology is determined by considering the

nature of the cost, which is then largely allocated using one of two main cost drivers, gross floor area for costs attributed to a

particular construction stage or footprint area for costs attributable to the whole village. For sites with numerous multi-storey

buildings, gross floor area is substituted for footprint for those shared costs where it is deemed a more appropriate mechanism

for apportionment between assets. 

Where a unit not previously sold under occupation right agreement is converted to a unit sold under occupation right

agreement, realised development margin recognised on the new sale of these units includes the following costs:

◦Conversion costs

◦A fair value apportionment reflecting the value of the property immediately prior to conversion

e)(Less)/add deferred tax (credit)/expense: reversal of the impact of deferred taxation. 

Underlying profit does not include any adjustments for abnormal items or fair value movements on financial instruments that are

included in NZ IFRS profit for the period.

Annual Report 2025
Consolidated notes to the financial statements (continued)

3. Segment reporting

The Group operates in one industry, being the provision of integrated retirement villages. Management has exercised judgement

in determining that the Group’s operating activities form a single reportable segment, based on the similarity of services across all

villages, the type of customer, and the regulatory environment. The chief operating decision makers, the Chief Executive Officer and

the Board, regularly review the operating results of the Group as a whole for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating

resources. The measures considered most relevant and used to assess performance are the consolidated income statement,

consolidated statement of financial position, and underlying profit, with a reconciliation between non-GAAP underlying profit and NZ

IFRS profit provided in Note 2.

The Group continues to proceed with its expansion into Australia with seven sites purchased to date. These sites are currently being,

or will be, developed into retirement villages.

The Group’s non-current assets

1

are located in New Zealand and Australia. At 31 December 2025, non-current assets in New Zealand

totalled $8,560.9 million (2024: $7,466.5 million), and in Australia totalled $566.6 million (2024: $448.6 million).

Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora is a major source of revenue for the Group, as the Group derives care fee revenue in respect

of eligible government subsidised aged care residents. Fees earned from Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora for the year ended

31 December 2025 amounted to $60.7 million (2024: $53.0 million). No other customers individually contribute a significant

proportion of the Group revenue.

4. Revenue

Care fees and village services income is charged to residents on a monthly basis, as agreed, and are recognised over time as and

when the accommodation or services are provided.  Care fees relate to the provision of accommodation, care and related services

to residents of the care facilities. Village services relate to the provision of accommodation and related services to residents in

independent living units.

Deferred management fees, which entitle residents to accommodation and the use of the community facilities within the village,

are recognised over the period of service, being the greater of the expected period of tenure or the contractual right to revenue.

The expected periods of tenure, being based on historical Group averages, are estimated to be seven to eight years for villas, five

to six years for apartments, three years for serviced apartments and memory care apartments, and two years for care suites. Where

the deferred management fees over the contractual period exceed the amortisation of the deferred management fee based on

estimated tenure, the amount is recorded as a liability (revenue in advance). At balance date, the majority of the revenue in advance

balance is non-current. Deferred management fees are recognised on a gross basis in the receipts from residents’ loans section of

the statement of cash flows.

Finance costs32,03826,353

Interest expense comprises interest payable on borrowings and is calculated using the effective interest rate method.

Borrowing costs are capitalised for property, plant and equipment (Note 9), and investment property (Note 10), if they are directly

attributable to the construction or production of a qualifying asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities

to prepare the asset commence and expenditure and borrowing costs are incurred. Capitalisation of borrowing costs continues until

the assets are substantially ready for their intended use.

Borrowing costs of $73.8 million (2024: $72.4 million) have been capitalised during the period of construction in the current year. The

weighted average capitalisation rate on funds borrowed representing the borrowing costs of the loans used to finance projects is

5.41% per annum (2024: 6.08% per annum).

Three of the Group's retail bonds are designated in a fair value hedging relationship. Details of fair value hedging are included in

Note 13.

7. Income tax

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax, calculated using the tax rate enacted or substantively enacted at balance date and

any adjustment to tax payable in respect of prior years. Tax expense is recognised in the income statement, except when it relates to

items recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive income, in which case the tax expense is recognised in the statement

of comprehensive income.

Deferred tax expense is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in

the financial statements and the amounts used for taxation purposes. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is

probable it will be utilised. Temporary differences for the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor

taxable profit, unless they arise from business combination, are not provided for.

NZ IAS 12, Income Taxes provides that there is a rebuttable presumption that investment property measured at fair value under NZ

IAS 40, Investment Properties is recovered through sale. This presumption is rebutted if:

•The investment property is depreciable (e.g. buildings and land under a lease); and

•The investment property is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits

embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.

The Group considers that the recovery through sale presumption for the manner of recovery of investment property is appropriate,

consistent with its business model objective to ensure any portfolio decisions are accretive to the overall value of the business, either

through use or sale.

The Group recognises a deferred tax asset on tax losses only to the extent that it offsets existing deferred tax liabilities in the

relevant jurisdiction.

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 its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(f) Income tax legislation amendments
The Taxation (Annual Rates for 2023-24, Multinational Tax and Remedial Matters) Act received royal assent on 28 March 2024, with

effect from 1 January 2024. This Act removed the ability to claim tax depreciation on non-residential buildings, resulting in the removal

of the tax base on certain buildings for deferred tax. The removal of the tax base has resulted in a $28.9 million increase to income tax

expense and a corresponding increase to the deferred tax liability in respect of property, plant and equipment during the 2024 period.

8. Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are stated at amortised cost less impairment losses. Trade receivables are not significant on an individual

basis and are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate, less an

allowance for doubtful debts.

The allowance for doubtful debts is made up of expected credit losses based on assessment of trade receivables debt at the

individual level for impairment, plus an additional allowance on the remaining balance for potential credit losses not yet identified.

The expected credit losses allowance requirement on the remaining balance has been set at 2%.

9. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment includes care centres (including memory care apartments and care suites), both complete and under

development, and corporate assets held.

All property, plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition

of the asset. The cost of self-constructed care centres includes directly attributable construction costs and other costs necessary to

bring the care centres to working condition for their intended use. These other costs include professional fees and consents, interest

during the build period and head office costs directly related to the construction of the care centres. Where costs are apportioned

across more than one asset, the apportionment methodology is determined by considering the nature of the cost, which is then

largely allocated using one of two main cost drivers, gross floor area for costs attributed to a particular construction stage or footprint

area for costs attributable to the whole village. For sites with numerous multi-storey buildings, gross floor area is substituted for

footprint for those shared costs where it is deemed a more appropriate mechanism for apportionment between assets.

Subsequent to initial recognition, care centres are carried at fair value. Fair value measurement on care centres under construction

is only applied if the fair value is reliably measurable. Where the fair value of care centres under construction cannot be reliably

determined the fair value is the cost of work undertaken.

Fair value measurement on completed care centres is 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. Other

corporate assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Where an item of

plant and equipment is disposed of, the gain or loss recognised in the income statement is calculated as the difference between the

net sales price and the carrying amount of the asset.

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.

Any revaluation surplus is recognised in other comprehensive income unless it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset

previously recognised in the income statement. Any revaluation deficit is recognised in the income statement unless it directly offsets

a previous surplus in the same asset in other comprehensive income. Any accumulated depreciation at 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. Upon disposal,

any revaluation reserve relating to the particular asset being sold is transferred to retained earnings. 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.

Note 6 provides details on capitalised borrowing costs.

Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line (SL) basis over the estimated useful life of each item of property,

plant and equipment, with the exception of land, which is not depreciated. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are

reassessed at each reporting date.

Major depreciation rates are as follows:

•Buildings and land (2% to 14% SL)•Furniture and fittings (7% to 20% SL)

•Motor vehicles (8% to 10% SL)•Plant and equipment (7% to 50% SL)

Also included in the buildings and land category is building fit-out.

Right of use assets are depreciated on an SL basis over the term of their lease.

Buildings and land include $211.1 million of care centres under development carried at cost, due to the stage and nature of the

development fair value is unable to be reliably determined (2024: $78.9 million).

Right of use assets relate to the Group's leased office premises, car park spaces and plant and equipment.

Classification between investment property and property, plant and equipment

On initial recognition, the Group performs an assessment to determine whether a unit type should be classified as investment

property or property, plant and equipment. The assessment is based on the significance of ancillary services provided to residents

who occupy accommodation under an occupation right agreement. For the purposes of this assessment, the Group considers

that portion of weekly fees that gives rise to a separate performance obligation for the Group, as ancillary services. In addition

to a quantitative assessment, the business model (being the provision of accommodation) is considered when determining the

classification of the property as either investment property or property, plant and equipment. Subsequent reclassification of unit

types between investment property or property, plant and equipment, occur only when there has been a change in use.

Revaluations

An independent valuation to determine the fair value of all assets related to care centres was carried out as at 31 December 2025

by independent registered valuers CBRE Limited ("CBRE NZ") and Jones Lang LaSalle Limited ("JLL NZ"). Valuations are carried

out semi-annually.

The Group is unable to reliably determine the fair value of care centres under development and therefore these are carried at cost.

CBRE NZ and JLL NZ determine the fair value of care centres (excluding units under occupation right agreement) using an

earnings-based multiple approach and the amount apportioned to goodwill is not recognised. Significant assumptions used in the

most recent valuation are included in the table below:

Sensitivity analysis to significant changes in unobservable inputs within Level 3 of the hierarchy
As the fair value of care centres is determined using inputs that are unobservable, the Group has categorised property, plant and

equipment as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy in accordance with NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy of the

entity’s portfolio of care centres are the capitalisation rates applied to individual unit earnings and the market value per care bed. The

sensitivities of the significant assumptions are shown in the table below:

1 Adopted value differs to figures in other notes. It is the value of completed units, net of related resident liability. The amount does not include unsold stock, work in progress

or development land.

Other key components in determining the fair value of units under occupation right held as property, plant and equipment are the

average entry age of residents and the average occupancy of units. A significant decrease (increase) in the occupancy period of units

would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement, and a significant increase (decrease) in the average entry age

of residents would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

10. Investment property

Investment property is held to earn current and future rental income and capital appreciation. It comprises land and buildings,

and associated equipment and furnishings, relating to retirement units and common facilities in the retirement village. Investment

property includes buildings under development, excluding care centres under development which are included in property, plant

and equipment. Initial recognition of investment property is at cost and it is subsequently measured at fair value, with any change in

fair value recognised in the income statement.

The cost of retirement units includes directly attributable construction costs and other costs necessary to bring the retirement units

to working condition for their intended use. These other costs include professional fees and consents, interest during the build period

and head office costs directly related to the construction of the retirement units. Where costs are apportioned across more than one

asset, the apportionment methodology is determined by considering the nature of the cost, which is then largely allocated using one

of two main cost drivers, gross floor area for costs attributed to a particular construction stage or footprint area for costs attributable

to the whole village. For sites with numerous multi-storey buildings, gross floor area is substituted for footprint for those shared costs

where it is deemed a more appropriate mechanism for apportionment between assets.

Land acquired with the intention of constructing investment property on it is classified as investment property from the date

of acquisition.

Depreciation is not charged on investment property.

The Group is unable to reliably determine the fair value of the non-land portion of retirement villages under development

at 31 December 2025 and therefore these are carried at cost. This equates to $726.8 million of investment property (2024:

$569.2 million). The exception is St Johns at 31 December 2024, which was carried at fair value due to its advanced stage

of construction.

The fair value of investment property, including land, as at 31 December 2025 was determined by independent registered valuers

CBRE NZ, JLL NZ, CBRE Valuations Pty Limited ("CBRE AU") and Jones Lang LaSalle Australia Pty Limited ("JLL AU"). The fair value of the

Group’s investment property is determined on a semi-annual basis, based on market values, being the estimated amount for which

a property could be exchanged on the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction

after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

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.

To assess the fair value of the Group's interest in each New Zealand and Australia villages, CBRE NZ, JLL NZ and JLL AU have

undertaken a discounted cash flow analysis to derive a present value. The Group's development land has been valued by CBRE NZ,

JLL NZ, CBRE AU and JLL AU using the direct comparison approach.

At 31 December 2024, near completed stages of St Johns have been valued using the residual approach where a number of blocks

were valued as work in progress together with residual land. The value of the work in progress was calculated as the market value

of completed stock less selling expenses, and an allowance for profit and risk, holding costs, and costs to complete including a

contingent sum.

The valuers' conclusions are based on data and market sentiment as at the date of the valuation and a degree of caution should be

exercised when relying upon the valuation.

Significant assumptions used by the valuers in relation to the New Zealand and Australian investment property are included in the

table below:

13. Interest rate swaps

The Group uses interest rate swaps to manage its risk associated with interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate swaps are initially

recognised at fair value on the date a contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at fair value on each reporting date. The

fair values of the interest rate swaps are determined based on cash flows discounted to present value using current market interest

rates. The non-current portion of interest rate swaps comprised of $20.3 million in assets (2024: $20.5 million) and $15.5 million in

liabilities (2024: $17.2 million). 63% (2024: 51%) of the Group's interest-bearing loans and borrowings are covered by fixed interest rate

swap agreements.

Cash flow hedges

The Group has entered into interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk in relation to its floating rate debt. These interest

rate swaps qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. When interest rate swaps meet the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting, the

effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income, while the ineffective

portion is recognised in the income statement. Amounts taken to reserves are transferred out of reserves and included in the

measurement of the hedged transaction when the forecast transaction occurs. When interest rate swaps do not meet the criteria for

cash flow hedge accounting, all movements in fair value of these derivative instruments are recognised in the income statement.

Under the interest rate swap agreements that qualify for cash flow hedge accounting, the Group has a right to receive interest at

variable rates and to pay interest at fixed rates (“payer interest rate swap agreements”). These agreements effectively change the

Group’s interest exposure on the principal covered by the interest rate swaps from a floating rate to fixed rates, which range between

0.85% and 4.93% (2024: 0.56% and 4.93%).

At 31 December 2025, the Group had payer interest rate swap agreements in place with a total notional principal amount of

approximately $1,382.8 million, made up of $862.0 million denominated in NZD and $450.0 million in AUD (2024: $1,094.1 million,

made up of $642.0 million denominated in NZD and $410.0 million in AUD). Of the swaps in place, at 31 December 2025,

$1,080.3 million were active (2024: $715.2 million).

The fair value of these agreements at 31 December 2025 is a $9.3 million liability, comprised of $15.9 million of swap liabilities and

$6.6 million of swap assets (2024: liability of $11.0 million, comprised of $17.5 million of swap liabilities and $6.5 million of swap assets).

The agreements cover notional amounts for terms of up to nine years from the effective date.

Fair value hedges

The Group has entered into interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk in relation to its fixed rate debt arising from the retail

bonds. The hedge is for the future fair value movements in the retail bonds as a result of market interest rate movements. The Group

has designated $450.0 million of its retail bonds in fair value hedge relationships.

Both the hedging instrument (interest rate swap) and the hedged item are recognised at fair value. Under a fair value hedge, the fair

value of the hedged item is attributed to the carrying value of the underlying retail bonds. The debt revaluation is driven by changes in

market interest rates and, to the extent the hedging relationship is effective, is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income

to offset the mark-to-market revaluation of the hedging instrument (interest rate swap). The increase in fair value of the interest rate

swaps of $0.7 million (2024: increase of $12.5 million) has been recognised in finance costs and has been offset with a similar fair value

gain on the retail bonds to leave an ineffective amount in finance costs of nil (2024: nil).

Under the interest rate swap agreements that qualify for fair value hedge accounting, the Group has a right to receive interest at fixed

rates and to pay interest at floating rates (“receiver interest rate swap agreements”). At 31 December 2025, the Group had receiver

interest rate swap agreements in place with a total notional principal amount of $450.0 million (2024: $425.0 million). The receiver

interest rate swap agreements in place at 31 December 2025 are being used to manage the fixed interest rate risk on the SUM040,

SUM050 and SUM060 retail bonds.

14. Residents’ loans
Residents’ loans are amounts payable under occupation right agreements. An occupation right agreement confers a right of

occupancy to a villa, apartment, serviced apartment, memory care apartment or care suite. The consideration received on the grant

of an occupation right agreement is allocated to the resident's loan in full. These loans are non-interest bearing and are payable when

both an occupation right agreement is terminated and there has been settlement of a new occupation right agreement for the same

unit and the proceeds from the new settlement have been received by the Group. Residents’ loans are initially recognised at fair value

and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

The Group holds a contractual right to set-off the deferred management fee receivable on termination of an agreement against the

resident's loan to be repaid. Residents’ loans are therefore recognised net of the deferred management fee receivable on the balance

sheet. Deferred management fees are payable by residents in consideration for the supply of accommodation and the right to share

in the use of community facilities. Deferred management fees are paid in arrears, with the amount payable calculated as a percentage

of the resident's loan amount as per the resident's occupation right agreement. Deferred management fee receivable is calculated

and recorded based on the current tenure of the resident and the contractual right to deferred management fee earned at balance

date. Refer to Note 4 for further detail on recognition of deferred management fee revenue.

15. Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings include secured bank loans and unsubordinated fixed-rate retail bonds.

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent

to initial recognition, the borrowings are measured at amortised cost, with any difference between the initial recognised amount and

the redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest rate. Three of the

four retail bonds, SUM040, SUM050 and SUM060, are designated in fair value hedge relationships, which means that any change in

market interest rates results in a change in the fair value adjustment of that debt. SUM030 is not hedged. Transaction costs incurred

in arranging financing are capitalised and amortised over the term of the relevant debt instrument.

Security

The bank loans and retail bonds rank equally with the Group’s other unsubordinated obligations and are secured by the following

securities held by a security trustee:

•a first-ranking registered mortgage over all land and permanent buildings owned (or leased under a registered lease) by each

New Zealand-incorporated guaranteeing Group member that is not a registered retirement village under the Retirement Villages

Act 2003;

•a second-ranking registered mortgage over the land and permanent buildings owned (or leased under a registered lease) by each

New Zealand-incorporated guaranteeing Group member that is a registered retirement village under the Retirement Villages Act

2003 (behind a first-ranking registered mortgage in favour of the Statutory Supervisor);

•a first-ranking registered mortgage over all land and permanent buildings owned (or leased under a registered lease) by each

Australian-incorporated guaranteeing Group member;

•a General Security Deed, which secures all assets of the New Zealand- incorporated guaranteeing Group members, but in respect

of which the Statutory Supervisor has first rights to the proceeds of security enforcement against all assets of the registered

retirement villages to which the security trustee is entitled;

•a General Security Deed, which secures all assets of the Australian-incorporated guaranteeing Group members; and

•a Specific Security Deed in respect of each marketable security of Summerset Holdings (Australia) Pty Limited, held by

Summerset Holdings Limited.

Covenants

The financial covenants in the Group’s debt facilities, with which the Group must comply include: 

a)Interest Cover Ratio – the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Interest Expense of not less than 1.75x calculated on a 12-month rolling

basis. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA less fair value movement of investment property and deferred management fee income (as

calculated under NZ GAAP) plus net cash from resales and development margin, less/plus other one-off adjustments. Interest

Expense is the total interest and line fee costs (prior to capitalisation) excluding any interest and line fees incurred in relation

to development tranches of bank debt facilities.

b)Loan to Value Ratio – the ratio of total loans and borrowings shall not exceed 50% of the total property value, where total loans

and borrowings is gross borrowings at face value and total property value is the valuation amount of all properties that have

been externally valued net of resident’s loans plus the cost of all properties not externally valued plus 50% of the costs incurred

to date on developments not complete. 

8 1

Annual Report 2025
Consolidated notes to the financial statements (continued)

The covenants are tested quarterly at 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December and the Group has complied with all

covenants during the period.  

16. Financial instruments

Exposure to credit, market and liquidity risk arises in the normal course of the Group’s business. The Board adopts policies for

managing each of these risks as summarised below.

Categories of financial instruments

Financial assets

All financial assets of the Group are classified at amortised cost except for interest rate swaps and investments, which are classified

as fair value through profit and loss, and those assets that are designated in a hedge relationship.

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities except interest rate swaps and retail bonds are classified as liabilities at amortised cost. Refer to Note 15 for detail

on the retail bonds.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a resident or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet their contractual

obligations. The Group’s exposure to credit risk relates to receivables from residents and bank balances. The Group manages

its exposure to credit risk. The Group’s cash is held with its principal banker, with the level of exposure to credit risk considered

minimal, with low levels of cash generally held. Receivables balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and funds are placed

with high-credit-quality financial institutions. The level of risk associated with sundry debtors is considered minimal due to the

recoverability of this balance being assessed as high. The Group does not require collateral from its debtors and the Directors

consider the Group’s exposure to any concentration of credit risk to be minimal.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the Group’s maximum credit exposure. The status of trade receivables is as follows:

Net trade receivables

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as interest rates will affect the Group’s income. The objective of market risk

management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on risk. Refer

to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk disclosures on how these risks are managed.

Interest rate risk

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is managed by seeking to obtain the most competitive rate of interest at all times. The Group

has entered into interest rate swap agreements in order to provide an effective cash flow hedge against the variability in floating

interest rates. The Group has also entered into other interest swap agreements to reduce interest rate repricing risk in relation to retail

bonds. See Note 13 for details of interest rate swap agreements.

8 2

To comply with the Group’s risk management policy, the hedge ratio is based on the interest rate swap notional amount to hedge
the same notional amount of bank loans or retail bonds. This results in a hedge ratio of 1:1. This is the same as used for actual risk

management purposes, and such a ratio is appropriate for the purposes of hedge accounting as it does not result in an imbalance

that would create hedge ineffectiveness.

In these hedge relationships the main sources of ineffectiveness are:

•a significant change in the credit risk of either party to the hedging relationship;

•where the hedge instrument has been transacted on a date different to the rate set date of the bank loan or retail bonds, interest

rates could differ; and

•differences in repricing dates between the swaps and the borrowings.

Other than these sources, due to the alignment of the hedged risk in the hedged item and hedged instrument, hedge ineffectiveness

is not expected to arise.

At 31 December 2025 it is estimated that a general increase of one percentage point in interest rates would decrease the Group’s

profit by approximately $13.6 million (2024: decrease by $11.2 million) and increase total comprehensive income by approximately

$21.4 million (2024: increase by $19.2 million). At 31 December 2025 it is estimated that a general decrease of one percentage point

in interest rates would increase the Group’s profit by approximately $13.6 million (2024: increase by $11.2 million) and decrease total

comprehensive income by approximately $23.1 million (2024: decrease by $20.8 million). The sensitivity analysis is based on the

interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date.

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 primarily exposed to currency risk through its subsidiaries in Australia.

The risk to the Group is that the value of the overseas subsidiaries' financial position and financial performance will fluctuate in

economic terms and as recorded in the Group financial statements due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Due to limited activity

in the Australian subsidiaries in 2025, the Group did not have a material exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group manages liquidity risk

of all financial liabilities by maintaining adequate reserves and undrawn banking facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and

actual cash flows, and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Group manages liquidity risk on residents’

loans and related sundry debtors through the contractual requirements of occupation right agreements, whereby a resident’s loan

is repaid only on receipt of the loan monies from the incoming resident.

Total3,642,552860,7041,383,8333,265,453685,3281,158,851

Residents’ loans are non-interest bearing and are not required to be repaid following termination of an occupation right agreement

until receipt of cash for the new resident loan from the incoming resident. Residents' loans are classified as being repayable on

demand, and therefore fully repayable within 12 months, because the Group does not have a right to defer repayment of residents'

loans for at least 12 months after balance date. Based on historical information including estimated periods of tenure as disclosed

in Note 4, it is estimated that $329.7 million (2024: $251.7 million) is expected to become payable in the 12 months following balance

date. To date, cash for new residents’ loans received has exceeded cash to repay residents’ loans, net of deferred management fees.

Fair values

Total(609,467)(617,133)(584,330)(583,124)

The fair value of retail bonds is based on the price traded on the NZX market as at 31 December 2025. The fair value of the retail bonds

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 swaps is determined using inputs from third parties that are observable, either directly (i.e. as prices) or

indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Based on this, the Company and Group have categorised these financial instruments as Level 2

under the fair value hierarchy in accordance with NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement.

The fair value of investments is categorised as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy in accordance with NZ IFRS 13 – Fair Value

Measurement and its fair value is measured using valuation techniques based on discounted future cash flow forecasts and various

unobservable inputs.

Capital management

The Group’s capital includes share capital, reserves and retained earnings. The objective of the Group’s capital management is

to ensure a strong credit position to support business growth and maximise shareholder value. The Group is subject to capital

requirements imposed by the bank lenders (through covenants in the Syndicated Facility Agreement) and bondholders (through

covenants in the Master Trust Deed). The Group has met all of these externally imposed capital requirements for the year ended

31 December 2025 (2024: all requirements met). The Group capital structure is managed, and adjustments are made, with Board

approval. There were no material changes to objectives, policies or processes during the year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: none).

19. Employee share plans
Senior employee share plan - share option scheme

The number of options granted to each participant equals the incentive remuneration value divided by the volume weighted average

price on the NZX during the 10 trading day period. Where applicable, the exercise price of the granted share options is determined

from the volume weighted average price on the NZX during the 10 trading day period determined by the Board prior to the grant.

Effective from the 2021 annual option grant, the option exercise price is set at nil and therefore no option valuation is required.

Options outstanding as at 31 December 2025 have a weighted average remaining life of 2.55 years (2024: 2.74 years).

For the 2025 annual option grant, the following performance hurdles apply to all participants:

•50% of each Tranche will vest based on absolute total shareholder return performance

•50% of each Tranche will vest based on relative total shareholder return performance

For certain one-off option grants outside of the annual option grant process, performance hurdles are set relating to specific

performance milestones for the relevant Participant.

The maximum terms for options granted range between three and six years.

The share option scheme is an equity-settled scheme and measured at fair value at the date of the grant. The fair value determined at

the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate that

the share options will vest. The option cost for the year ending 31 December 2025 of $3,407,793 has been recognised in the income

statement of the Company and the Group for that period (2024: $2,978,009). The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to

repurchase or settle the share options in cash.

All-staff

employee share plan

The Group operates an all-staff employee share plan. A total of 2,290 employees participated in the share issue under the plan for the

year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: 2,060 employees). In 2025, the Group contributed $1,000 per participating employee (being

the total value of the shares issued). A total of 192,360 Company shares were issued under the scheme at $11.88 per share (2024:

179,220 shares at $11.44 per share). The all-staff employee share plan issues to date are equity-settled where the shares are held by

Summerset LTI Trustee Limited and vest to participating employees after a three-year period. Participants may be eligible for early

transfer of shares if certain criteria are met. Forfeited shares continue to be held by Summerset LTI Trustee until cancelled.

The cost for the year ending 31 December 2025 of $1,317,352 has been recognised in the income statement of the Company and the

Group for that period (2024: $966,000).

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial

statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and

in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Annual Report 2025
Description of the key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter

Valuation of investment properties and aged care facilities

The Group’s retirement village portfolio, as disclosed

in notes 9 and 10 of the financial statements,

includes investment properties and aged care facilities

(comprising freehold land and buildings and property

under development). These assets have carrying values of

$8,199 million and $874 million respectively and represent

the majority of the Group’s total assets at 31 December 2025.

Investment properties and aged care facilities are measured

at fair value, other than property under development

where, if the fair value cannot be reliably determined, the

construction work undertaken is measured at cost.

The valuation of the Group’s investment properties and

aged care facilities are inherently subjective due to,

amongst other factors, inputs into the valuations that are

unobservable through available market information. The

valuations also consider the individual characteristics of

each village its resident profile, and the expected future

cash flows for that particular village.

Given the level of estimation uncertainty, and the fact that

relatively small changes in individual assumptions could, in

aggregate, result in a material change in the fair value, we

determined the valuation of investment properties and aged

care facilities to be a key audit matter. This also reflects the

significance of these assets to the Group.

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.

We held discussions with management to understand the

movements in the Group’s investment properties and aged

care facilities, changes in 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 key assumptions

and significant 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 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 assessed the Valuers’ qualifications, expertise, and

objectivity. We also assessed whether there was any

evidence of bias in determining the valuations.

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 December 2025.

We also considered the appropriateness of the related

disclosures made in the financial statements.

Our audit approach

Overview

 

Materiality

Group

Scoping

Key Audit

Matters

Overall group materiality: $24.95 million, which approximately represents 0.75% 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 chose 0.75% based on our professional judgement, noting that it is also

within the range of commonly accepted thresholds for entities where net assets is considered the

appropriate benchmark.

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 investment properties and aged

care facilities.

 

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

9 0

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 matter

The financial statements of Summerset Group Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 December 2024, were audited by another

auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 27 February 2025.

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.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do 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 knowledge obtained in the audit, or

otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained

prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required

to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial statements

The Directors 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 statements, 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 financial 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 Reporting Board’s website

at: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1-1/

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Governance
Summerset has adopted the principles below as an appropriate way to demonstrate its commitment to best practice

governance and to provide transparency in the Company’s approach to corporate governance for the benefit of

its shareholders and other stakeholders. These principles are from the NZX Corporate Governance Code issued in

January 2025. Each principle of the NZX Code is set out below with an explanation on how Summerset meets it.

As at 31 December 2025, Summerset considers that it was in full compliance with NZX Listing Rules and the NZX Code.

The Code of Ethics Policy, Diversity and Inclusion Policy, Securities Trading Policy and Guidelines, Whistle Blowing

Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, Modern Slavery Policy, and Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy can be found on the

Company’s website and internal intranet alongside other governance documents.

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.'

Ethical standards

The Board maintains high standards of ethical conduct and expects the Company’s employees to act legally and

with integrity in a manner consistent with the policies, guiding principles and values that are in place. These include

the following:


Code of Ethics – This sets out the basic principles of legal and ethical conduct expected of all employees and

Directors. The Company encourages open and honest communication by staff about any current or potential

problem, complaint, suggestion, concern or question.


Diversity and Inclusion Policy – This policy outlines the Company’s guiding principles for diversity and inclusion.

Refer to Principle 2 for further details.


Securities Trading Policy – In accordance with the Company’s Securities Trading Policy, the NZX Listing Rules and

the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, Directors and employees of the Company are subject to limitations on

their ability to buy or sell Company shares.


Whistle Blowing Policy –This policy encourages employees to come forward if they have concerns regarding

serious wrongdoing, and ensures that employees have access to a confidential process in which they can report

any issues in relation to serious wrongdoing without fear of reprisal or victimisation.


Supplier Code of Conduct and Modern Slavery Policy – These documents set out the minimum standards

expected of Summerset’s suppliers and support Summerset’s commitment to sustainable, ethical and

inclusive procurement.


Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy – This policy sets out Summerset’s zero-tolerance approach to bribery and

corruption. It also makes clear that donations to political parties are not permitted.


Code of Conduct – This policy sets out the expected behaviours while in employment with the Company.

Company employees are expected to act honestly, conscientiously, reasonably and in good faith, while at all times

having regard to their responsibilities, the interests of Summerset, and the welfare of our residents and staff.


Gifts Policy – This policy governs the acceptance and reporting of benefits given to staff by third parties.


Conflicts of Interest – Summerset's Code of Ethics outlines the standards of integrity, professionalism and

confidentiality to which all employees and Directors of the Company must adhere with respect to their work and

behaviour. To maintain integrity in decision-making, each Director must advise the Board of any potential conflict

of interest if such arises. If a conflict of interest exists, the Director concerned will have no involvement in the

decision-making process relating to the matter.


Interests Register – In accordance with the Companies Act 1993 and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013,

the Company maintains an Interests Register in which all relevant transactions and matters involving the Directors

are recorded.

Annual Report 2025
Principle 2: Board composition and performance

'To ensure an effective board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience

and perspectives.'

Role of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is elected by shareholders and has responsibility for taking appropriate steps to protect and

enhance the value of the assets of the Company in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board has adopted

a formal Board Charter detailing its authority, responsibilities, membership and operation. The key responsibilities

of the Board include setting the overall direction and strategy of the Company, establishing appropriate policies

and monitoring performance of management. The Board appoints the CEO and delegates the day-to-day operating

of the business to them. The CEO implements policies and strategies set by the Board and is accountable to it.

The Board also has responsibility for ensuring the Company’s financial position is sound, and financial statements

comply with generally accepted accounting practice, and that the Company adheres to high standards of ethical and

corporate behaviour.

A summary of the Board protocols is as follows:

•A majority of the Board should be Independent Directors as defined in the NZX Listing Rules.

•The Chair of the Board should be independent.

•The Chair and the CEO should be different people.

•Directors should possess a broad range of skills, qualifications and experience, and remain current on how best to

perform their duties as Directors.

•Information of sufficient content, quality and timeliness, as the Board considers necessary, will be provided by

management to allow the Board to discharge its duties effectively.

•The effectiveness and performance of the Board and its individual members should be re-evaluated on an

annual basis.

Directors receive an induction upon appointment to the Board to ensure their full knowledge of the Company and the

industry in which it operates. The Directors are expected to keep abreast of changes and trends in the business and

to keep up to date to ensure they best perform their duties as Directors of the Company.

All Directors have been issued letters setting out the terms and conditions of their appointment.

Delegation of authority

The Board delegates to the CEO responsibility for implementing the Board’s strategy and for managing the Company’s

operations. The CEO and management have Board-approved levels of authority and, in turn, sub-delegate authority

in some cases to direct reports. This is documented in the Delegated Authority Policy.

Retirement and re-election

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution and the NZX Listing Rules, Directors are required to retire three years

after their appointment or at the third Annual Shareholder Meeting following their appointment (whichever is later).

Directors who have been appointed by the Board must also retire at the next Annual Shareholder Meeting following

their appointment.

The Board Charter states that it is not generally expected that a non-executive Director would hold office for more than

ten years or be nominated for more than three consecutive terms. The Board Charter also provides that Directors may

accept other board appointments only where that does not detrimentally affect their performance as a Director of

Summerset. In making this assessment, the number and nature of a Director’s other governance roles may be relevant.

Directors may offer themselves for re-election by shareholders each year at the Annual Shareholder Meeting.

Procedures for the appointment and removal of Directors are also governed by the Constitution.

The People and Culture Committee identifies and nominates candidates to fill Director vacancies for Board approval.

Information about candidates for election or re-election is included in the Notice of Meeting to assist shareholders in

deciding whether or not to elect or re-elect the candidate.

9 4

Board composition
The Company’s Constitution prescribes that the Board must comprise a minimum of three Directors, with at least

two Directors ordinarily resident in New Zealand. As at 31 December 2025, the Board comprised seven non-executive

Independent Directors. In determining whether a Director is Independent, the Board has regard to the NZX Listing

Rules and factors described in the NZX Code.

The Company’s Directors derive a portion of their annual revenue from the Company, including via director fees

and distributions. Having regard to the professional nature of their role, the likely opportunity to seek replacement

roles, and the financial position of the Directors, the Board on balance does not consider that the receipt of director

fees and distributions is sufficiently material to outweigh collectively the other factors relevant to the assessment of

independence under the NZX Code.

The Board considers all current Directors to be Independent in that they are not executives of the Company and do

not have a direct or indirect interest or relationship that could reasonably influence (or be perceived to influence), in

a material way, their decisions in relation to the Company. Although Dr Marie Bismark has served as Director for more

than 12 years, the Board considers that this factor alone does not affect her independence. She has demonstrated that

she retains the capacity to bring an independent judgment to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best

interests of the Company and security holders. Marie intends to resign in 2026.

As at 31 December 2025, the non-executive Independent Directors were Mark Verbiest (Chair), Dr Andrew Wong,

Gráinne Troute, Fiona Oliver, Dr Marie Bismark, Stephen Bull and Venasio-Lorenzo Crawley.

Andrea Scown was a Future Director of the Company for part of the year under the Institute of Directors’ Future

Directors programme, which aims to develop New Zealand’s next generation of directors and provide experience

in large companies around the country. Andrea joined the Board as a Future Director in November 2022 and her

appointment concluded on 31 May 2025. Future Directors fully participate in all Board matters but do not have voting

or decision rights.

The Board comprises Directors who have a mix of skills, knowledge, experience and diversity to adequately meet and

discharge its responsibilities and to add value to the Company through efficient and effective governance leadership.

The current Directors have a varied and balanced mix of skills relevant to the Group’s operations. A summary of the key

skills and experience held across the Board as at 31 December 2025, is set out in the table on the following pages.

More information on the Directors, including their interests, qualifications and security holdings, is provided on our

website and in the Disclosures sections of this report. As a term of their appointment, Directors are required to acquire

and hold shares in the Company to the value of one year’s worth of Director fees, though the Board has the ability to

waive this requirement and would do so in the appropriate circumstances. They have two years in which to acquire the

shares. Once this requirement has been achieved, it is deemed satisfied and is not affected by future fluctuations in

share price. This shareholding requirement may be satisfied by a Director holding shares through an associated person

or entity.

The Board holds regular scheduled meetings. The Directors generally receive material for Board meetings five working

days in advance, except in the case of special meetings, for which the time period may be shorter owing to the urgency

of the matter to be considered.

The Company Secretary attends all Board meetings, and in this capacity is accountable directly to the Board, through

the Chair, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board.

All Directors have access to the Executive Leadership Team to discuss issues or obtain information on specific areas

in relation to items to be considered at Board meetings or other areas as considered appropriate. Key executives and

managers are invited to attend and participate in appropriate sessions at Board meetings. Directors have unrestricted

access to Company records and information.

Directors are entitled to obtain independent professional advice relating to the affairs of the Company or other

responsibilities. Prior approval of the Chair is required before seeking such advice and Directors are expected to ensure

that the cost of such advice is reasonable.

Annual Report 2025
Diversity and inclusion

The Company and its Board are committed to a workplace culture that promotes and values diversity, equity

and inclusiveness. This is outlined in the Company’s Diversity and Inclusion Policy, which is available on the

Company’s website.

Diversity is defined as the characteristics that make one individual different from another. Diversity encompasses

gender, race, ethnicity, disability, age, sexual orientation, physical capability, family responsibilities, education, cultural

background and more.

Inclusion is defined as a sense of belonging, respecting and valuing all individuals, providing fair access to opportunity,

and removing discrimination and other barriers to involvement. The Board recognises that inclusion leads to a better

experience of work for Summerset’s employees, makes teams stronger, leads to greater creativity and performance,

contributes to a more meaningful relationship with residents, their families and stakeholders, and ultimately increases

value to shareholders.

Equity is defined as recognising that people have different needs and experiences, and actively working to understand

and remove barriers so that everyone can participate and fully thrive in our workplace. Fairness isn’t about treating

everyone the same – it’s about making sure each person gets the support, resources, and opportunities they need

to succeed.

The Board believes that diversity across the workforce makes Summerset stronger and better able to connect with,

and bring the best of life to, residents on a day-to-day basis. When there is a variety of thinking styles, backgrounds,

experiences, perspectives and abilities, employees are more able to understand residents’ needs and to respond

effectively to them.

The Diversity and Inclusion Policy states that its policy goals are to: leverage diversity as a competitive advantage,

develop inclusiveness as a core capability for our leaders and people and continually recognise the individual and team

contribution made towards creating a diverse and inclusive work environment.

To help Summerset's leaders lead their increasingly diverse and multi-cultural teams and support diversity and

inclusion the Company offers a Creating an Inclusive Workplace training programme for all managers. The programme

helps leaders to deepen their understanding of others and create an inclusive team environment where all team

members feel valued and appreciated, and can contribute to bringing the best of life for residents.

Summerset also supported the establishment of employee representative groups including the Summerset Pride

Network, and continued work of the Women in Construction Forum. Both groups aim to seek equity and inclusion

through building awareness of the challenges, celebrating the successes, and supporting the ideas of these groups.

Each year the Board reviews and assesses performance against the financial year objectives. The Board considers that

for the year ended 31 December 2025, the objectives for achieving diversity have been met.

As at 31 December 2025 (and 31 December 2024 for the prior comparative period), the mix of gender of those

employed by the Company is set out in the table below. The Executive Leadership Team comprises the CEO, the

CFO and all other Executives who report to the CEO. These figures include permanent full-time, permanent part-time,

fixed-term and casual employees, but not independent contractors.

Board performance

The Board is committed to evaluating its performance on a regular basis, generally with a formal, external review

biennally and an internal self-review each intervening year. The process, including evaluation criteria, is considered by

the People and Culture Committee and approved by the Board.

Executive Leadership Team performance

The Board evaluates the performance of the CEO annually. The CEO reviews the performance of direct reports, and

reports to the Board on those reviews. The evaluation is based on criteria that include the performance of the business

and the accomplishment of longer-term strategic objectives. It may include quantitative and qualitative measures.

During FY25 performance evaluations were conducted in accordance with this process.

Principle 3: Board committees

'The Board should use committees where this will enhance its effectiveness in key areas, while still retaining

Board responsibility.'

Board committees

The Board has four standing committees: Audit and Risk Committee, People and Culture Committee, Clinical

Governance Committee, and Development and Construction Committee. Each committee operates under a charter

approved by the Board, and any recommendations they make are to the Board. The charter for each committee is

reviewed annually. All Directors are entitled to attend committee meetings.

Audit and Risk Committee

While the ultimate responsibility for ensuring the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting rests with the Board,

the Company has in place processes to ensure the accurate presentation of its financial position. These include:

•an appropriately resourced Audit and Risk Committee operating under a written charter, with specific

responsibilities for financial reporting and risk management

•review and consideration by the Audit and Risk Committee of the financial information and preliminary releases of

results to the market, before making recommendations to the Board

•a process to ensure the independence and competence of the Company’s external auditors and a process

audit programme

•ensuring that management has established a risk management framework and monitoring the Company’s risk

profile and reporting of risk, including new and emerging sources of risk (including climate risk).

One of the main purposes of the Audit and Risk Committee is to ensure the quality and independence of the external

audit process. The Committee makes enquiries of management and the external auditors so that it is satisfied as to the

validity and accuracy of all aspects of the Company’s financial reporting. All aspects of the external audit are reported

back to the Audit and Risk Committee and the external auditors are given the opportunity at Committee meetings to

meet with Directors.

The Audit and Risk Committee must comprise a minimum of three Directors, the majority of whom must be

Independent. The Committee is chaired by an Independent Director who is not the Chair of the Board. The Committee

currently comprises Fiona Oliver (Chair), Mark Verbiest, Gráinne Troute, Stephen Bull and Venasio-Lorenzo Crawley.

9 9

Annual Report 2025
The Audit and Risk Committee generally invites the CEO, CFO, Deputy CFO, internal auditors and external auditors

to attend meetings. The Committee also meets and receives regular reports from the external auditors without

management present, concerning any matters that arise in connection with the performance of their role.

People and Culture Committee

The role of the People and Culture Committee is to assist the Board in establishing and reviewing remuneration

policies and practices, culture, leadership and capability, succession, employee development, inclusion, diversity and

be Independent. The Committee currently comprises Gráinne Troute (Chair), Mark Verbiest, Dr Marie Bismark and

Venasio-Lorenzo Crawley. The Board’s policy is that the Board needs to have an appropriate mix of skills, experience

and diversity to ensure that it is well equipped. The Board reviews and evaluates on a regular basis the skill mix required,

and identifies any existing gaps.

Clinical Governance Committee

The role of the Clinical Governance Committee is to assist the Board in ensuring a systematic approach to maintaining

and improving the quality of care provided by the Company. Specific objectives include:

The Board is responsible for overseeing the management of risks across Summerset’s business. Summerset

has robust risk management and reporting frameworks in place, whereby material business risks are regularly

identified, monitored and managed.  The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company’s

risk management framework and compliance with that framework. Key risks are regularly reported to the Board,

together with Summerset’s approach to risk management. Summerset's Risk Management Policy and Enterprise Risk

Framework are consistent with best practice principles set out in ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management Standard.

The members of Summerset’s Executive Leadership Team are required to regularly identify the major risks affecting

the business, record them in the Risk Register (which identifies the likelihood and consequence of each risk to

Summerset’s business), and develop structures, practices and processes to manage and monitor these risks.

For the 2025 financial year, Summerset ran a co-sourced model for internal audit, managed by an in-house Risk and

External Reporting Manager. As part of the co-sourced model, Summerset has engaged KPMG as its partner to assist

with carrying out internal audit work on various parts of the Group’s operations, and all major risk and internal control

issues are reported on at each Board meeting.

Health and safety (including in relation to risks, performance and management) is discussed regularly at Board

meetings, and specific reviews are sought as required. Monthly reporting is prepared and used to assist in risk

1 0 2

management, covering areas such as health and safety incidents, injury and near-miss frequency rates, and actions
undertaken. Further information is covered in the health, safety and wellbeing section of this Annual Report on page 26.

Summerset has a Tax Governance Policy in place, which sets out its tax risk management objectives, tax reporting

requirements to the Audit and Risk Committee, and policies and processes to manage tax risk. This Tax Governance

Policy is reviewed by the Board every two years. The Board is satisfied that Summerset has effective policies and

processes in place to ensure the Company is meeting its obligations. Summerset adopts a risk-averse stance in relation

to tax issues and, where possible, seeks certainty on tax positions through proactive engagement with tax authorities.

Summerset's key strategic risks reported to the board are captured below:


Cybersecurity – A cyber-attack may lead to data privacy breaches, loss of integrity/availability of information

or of a control system and business disruption potentially resulting in financial loss or reputational damage

or regulatory action. Summerset actively monitors and manages these risks through its risk management and

reporting frameworks.


Clinical care – Failure to provide high quality clinical care to residents can potentially result in resident harm,

reputational damage, and care profitability. Managing clinical risk and delivering on positive outcomes for residents

remains a key focus area for continuous improvement.


Health and safety – The health, safety and wellbeing of its people and residents remains a top priority of

the Company and requires a systematic approach and strategic focus to ensure continued compliance with

relevant legislation.


Capital management – Failure to maintain an optimal capital structure, sufficient working capital and sound

investment and funding discipline may drive up financing costs, create cash-flow constraints, trigger covenant

breaches, and prevent Summerset from funding critical growth initiatives.


Executing Australian growth – Scaling and managing the ongoing growth of the Australian business and

associated business risks. Summerset is mitigating risks through having established a local team, entering a

well-researched market, and developing product and service offerings, procedures and processes tailored for the

new market. Progress in Australia is under close management oversight and has tracked well to date.


Regulatory environment – Summerset operates within multiple regulatory environments and additionally as a

listed company has additional societal and investor expectations in relation to corporate governance and ESG

impact of the organisation. Both regulatory change and failure to comply can potentially have negative impacts on

Summerset (including financial, reputationally, and operationally). Summerset proactively engages in regulatory

change processes and takes steps to ensure compliance with existing legislation and future amendments

once confirmed.


People capability – For Summerset to successfully deliver on our strategy and continue bringing the best of life

to our residents, Summerset must ensure that our people capability continues to meet the required needs of the

organisation but is also able to change and adapt in the future as required. Key areas monitored include nursing

teams and construction.


Sustainable growth – Failure to sustainably grow in New Zealand and Australia (including adapting and innovating

growth objectives in response to changing conditions) may compromise Summerset’s long-term profitability,

growth trajectory and ability to meet shareholder expectations.

Climate change-related risks are captured within the above strategic risks.  For more information on how Summerset

is managing climate change risks and opportunities please review our Sustainability Review and Climate-related

Disclosures FY25 found at www.summerset.co.nz/investor-centre/esg-reporting/

Principle 7: Auditors

'The Board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.'

The Board’s relationship with its auditors, both external and internal, is governed by the Audit and Risk Committee

Charter, External Audit Independence Policy and the Internal Audit Charter. These charters and policies set out the

types of engagements that can be performed by the external and internal auditors. The Audit and Risk Committee

actively monitors the amount of any non-audit work completed by the external auditor to ensure that independence

is maintained.

The external auditor attends the Company’s Annual Shareholder Meeting and is available to answer questions from

shareholders in relation to the external audit.

1 0 3

Annual Report 2025
The Company’s external auditor, PwC, was appointed in 2025, replacing Ernst & Young.

KPMG was appointed in the role of internal auditor of the Company in December 2016. With the establishment of a

co-source model approach to internal audit in 2020, it currently remains the Company's co-source partner. The internal

audit role is governed by the Internal Audit Charter, which states the objectives and scope of internal audit activities.

The primary objective of internal audit is to increase the strength of the Company’s control environment. This is guided

by a philosophy of adding value to improve the operations of the Company. The internal audit assists the Company

in accomplishing its objectives by bringing a systematic and disciplined approach to evaluating and improving the

effectiveness of its governance, risk management and internal controls. The Internal Audit Programme is set annually

by the Audit and Risk Committee.

The Internal Audit Charter sets out the scope of internal audit activities and this encompasses, but is not limited

to, objective examinations of evidence to provide independent assessments on the adequacy and effectiveness of

operations, governance, risk management and control processes for Summerset. This includes evaluating whether:

•the actions of Summerset’s officers, directors, staff, and contractors comply with Summerset’s policies, procedures

and applicable laws, regulations and governance standards

•the results of operations or programmes are consistent with established goals and objectives

•operations or programmes are being carried out effectively and efficiently, with adequate internal controls

•established processes and systems enable compliance with the policies, procedures, laws and regulations that

could significantly impact Summerset

•information and the means used to identify, measure, analyse, classify and report such information are reliable and

have integrity

•resources and assets are acquired economically, used efficiently and protected adequately.

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.'

Respecting the rights of Shareholders

The Company seeks to ensure that its shareholders understand its activities by communicating effectively with them

and giving them ready access to clear and balanced information about the Company.

To assist with this, the Company’s website is maintained with relevant information, including copies of presentations

and reports. The Company’s key corporate governance policies are also included on the website.

The Company’s major communications with shareholders during the financial year include its Annual and Half Year

Reports and the Annual Shareholder Meeting. The reports are available in electronic and hardcopy format.

Communicating with Shareholders

The Company welcomes communication and feedback from shareholders. The Company’s investor centre (on its

website) provides a Company phone number and email address for communications from shareholders and investor

relations enquiries. All shareholder communications are responded to within a reasonable timeframe.

The Company provides options for shareholders to receive and send communications electronically, to and from both

the Company and its share and bond registrar. The Company’s investor centre includes contact details for MUFG

Pension & Market Services, through which all Company shares and bonds are managed.

Shareholder voting rights

Shareholders have the right to vote on major decisions as required by the NZX Listing Rules. Further information on

shareholder voting rights is set out in the Company’s Constitution.

Notice of Annual and Special Shareholder Meetings

Notice of Annual and Special Shareholder Meetings are sent to shareholders and published on the Company’s website

at least 20 working days before the relevant meeting.

Remuneration

Remuneration overview

Report from the Chair

 

Dear shareholders

As Chair of the Board’s People & Culture Committee I am pleased to present Summerset’s 2025 Remuneration report.

Remuneration objectives

Summerset’s purpose is to bring the best of life to our residents. To deliver that, we need engaged employees

performing consistently at a high standard. Our aim is to ensure remuneration outcomes for executives and senior

leaders align with outcomes experienced by shareholders, supported by a remuneration structure that is competitive,

affordable, equitable and attractive. This approach helps sustain strong employee engagement and is consistent with

the objectives outlined in last year’s report.

We also recognise that our approach in rewarding people reflects our wider commitment to an inclusive and diverse

workforce. We continue to report our Gender Pay Gap (GPG) and the Board is committed to better understanding the

drivers of this pay gap and closing the gap on both gender and ethnic pay over time.

Summerset's executive remuneration is set in accordance with the principles laid out in the People and Culture

Committee Charter (available at: https://www.summerset.co.nz/investor-centre/governance-documents/). We

independently benchmark fixed annual remuneration for the Executive team to a peer group of companies of

similar size, scale and complexity, while also being cognisant of factors such as incumbent experience, capability and

performance. Our aim is to create a balance between competitiveness (which supports our ability to attract and retain

talent) and affordability for the business.

CEO remuneration

Effective 1 January 2025, significant adjustments were made to Scott Scoullar’s remuneration to better align the CEO’s

total remuneration with that of New Zealand’s top‑20 listed companies. These changes reflect Summerset’s scale,

maturity, and market position, as well as Scott’s sustained performance and tenure.

In determining the revised remuneration, the Board considered comprehensive executive remuneration survey data

provided by independent external consultants. This benchmarking assessed Summerset’s positioning against New

Zealand private-sector organisations, including those within the NZX20, as well as organisations operating in the aged

care, property management, development, hospitality (e.g. foods) and construction sectors. These changes are set

out on page 111.

Scott’s short-term incentive (STI) target also increased from 45% to 50% of his fixed annual remuneration, and his LTI

target increased from 50% to 60% in FY25. Again, these changes align his remuneration structure more closely with

the benchmark group.

Incentive schemes

 In 2025, we continued to embed the progressive changes we have strategically introduced to our STI and LTI

programmes since 2021. In particular, we worked to strengthen employee understanding of the schemes through

targeted lunch and learn sessions, and aligning individual priorities to Summerset's ten-year strategy.

On the basis that CEO performance outcomes inherently drive Summerset’s overall performance, we removed

individual performance measures from Scott's STI. The result is that his STI was fully aligned to the Company's

performance scorecard.

We transitioned our LTI vesting cycle to a single three-year vest for eligible employees, replacing the previous structure

where each plan vests in two tranches – 50% after three and the remaining 50% after four years. Again, this is consistent

with market practice.

In a key change, a minimum shareholding requirement was introduced for the Executive team to further align

leadership interests with those of shareholders, reinforcing our commitment to long-term value creation and

sustainable performance. Under this policy, executives are restricted from selling shares that vest under the December

1 1 0

2025 LTI grant and subsequent grants until the minimum shareholding requirement is met. Given that vesting values
vary based on performance conditions, there is no fixed timeframe for compliance. The minimum shareholding is set

at 25% of pre-tax Fixed Annual Remuneration (FAR). Our Chief Executive has a minimum shareholding requirement of

100% of FAR and already meets this requirement.

Executive KPIs

 The 2025 shared KPIs took a balanced scorecard approach with financial, customer and staff related KPIs. The

performance outcomes have been strong with all achieving on target performance and several exceeding targets,

including our financial targets.

These KPIs were all stretch targets, and it’s a testament to the strength of the Executive Leadership team, and their

people, that they have continued to achieve strongly in a challenging macroeconomic environment. The Executives'

achievements against their individual, role-specific KPIs was also strong, with the majority fully or partially achieved.

Chair People and Culture Committee

Remuneration governance

The Board is assisted in delivering its responsibilities and objectives for Executive remuneration by the People and

Culture Committee. The role and membership of this committee is set out in the Governance section of this report.

The People and Culture Committee reviews the annual performance and remuneration outcomes for all Executive

Leadership Team members, including the CEO. The review takes into account external benchmarking to ensure

competitiveness with comparable market peers, along with consideration of each individual’s performance, skills,

expertise and experience.

The Committee operates under a written Charter, which outlines its responsibilities and processes as outlined in

the charter.

The charters and guidelines can be found in the Governance documents section of the Summerset website at

https://www.summerset.co.nz/investor-centre/governance-documents/

•People and Culture Committee Charter 

The Remuneration Policy is the internal governance policy that provides context for the Executive members’

remuneration outcomes 

•Board and Executive Remuneration Policy

The Board approves the Executive Team annual performance objectives, company financial performance targets

and outcomes on an annual basis.

•Minimum Shareholding Requirement Policy 

Summerset’s CEO and Executive Leadership Team are required to maintain a minimum shareholding to align their

interests with long-term shareholder value, primarily through vested shares from Long Term Incentive schemes. 

•Securities Trading Policy and Guidelines 

Summerset’s Trading in Securities Policy ensures that Summerset and its subsidiaries’ directors, senior managers,

employees, contractors and secondees comply with the law prohibiting insider trading and that all dealings in

Summerset securities and Other Financial Products are beyond reproach.

Executive Remuneration Policy

The remuneration of members of the Executive Leadership Team (CEO and direct reports) is designed to promote

a high-performance culture and to align executive reward to the development and achievement of strategies

1 1 1

Annual Report 2025
and business objectives that create sustainable value for Shareholders. Total remuneration is made up of three

components: fixed remuneration, short-term incentive (STI) and long-term incentive (LTI). 

The People and Culture Committee considers external and independent remuneration market information provided

by expert consultants such as EY and PwC in order to gauge actual and forecast movements within the market, and

to assess the levels of fixed and target total remuneration to pay its Chief Executive and Executive Team to support

talent attraction and retention.

Fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of a base salary and benefits including a company contribution of 3% for KiwiSaver. Other

benefits are elective and the value of each elected benefit is deducted from fixed annual remuneration.

Short-term incentives

Summerset’s STI scheme is an at-risk payment designed to motivate and reward for performance within the 

financial

year. The Chief Executive, Executive Team, and certain other senior members of staff may participate in the STI

scheme. The STI opportunity within Total Remuneration reflects the complexity and level of the roles. In FY25, the Chief

Executive had a target STI opportunity of 50% of fixed annual remuneration (45% in FY24), and the other Executives

had a target STI opportunity of 30%.

For the Executive Leadership Team, 70% of the STI, and for the CEO, 100%, is linked to the achievement of annual

business performance metrics. These metrics align executives to a common set of KPIs reflecting business priorities

for the performance year. The target areas for the shared KPIs for 2025 are outlined below:

1 On-target performance results in a payment of 100% of the target bonus opportunity for this performance hurdle.

The Board can reduce or cancel STI payments if there are concerns around health and safety.

There are three performance levels within each target area along with a performance hurdle or gate opener which

needs to be met before any payment under the STI scheme can be made, these are: minimum performance threshold,

on-target and maximum performance. One hundred percent of the amount allocated to that target area is payable

when the on-target level is achieved. Performance against both financial and non-financial measures is assessed and

approved by the Board each year.

If the hurdle or gate opener for underlying EBITDA performance against budget is not achieved, no STI payment will be

made. The gate opener for the financial KPI is based on achieving 90% of the underlying EBITDA performance target

and for the three remaining KPIs (each of which is only payable if the target score is also achieved) the gate opener is

80% of EBITDA.

Provided the gate opener is met for each KPI, minimum performance achievement across all KPIs would return an STI

payment of 84.75% of the available target opportunity.

A 100% pay-out is based on achieving 100% of the financial targets and meeting all the other KPI target criteria. The

maximum performance levels allow employees to be rewarded for performance that exceeds on-target levels, up to

a specified maximum.

The maximum amount of payment for an Executive Leadership Team member under the company component of

the STI scheme is 155% of the on-target amount. In order to achieve payout at maximum, the financial target needs

1 1 2

to achieve 125% of budget, which is a significant stretch target. There is no payment upside if non-financial KPIs
are exceeded.

The portion of the STI for the Executive team not linked to business performance relates to individual performance

measures, representing 30% of the total STI opportunity. These measures are assessed by the Board. For the CEO

in FY25, STI was based solely on company targets. For all other Executive Leadership team members, the maximum

payable under the individual portion of the STI scheme was 100% for stretch individual performance.

FY26 STI Shared KPIs

For FY26, 55% of the STI opportunity for the Chief Executive and Executive Team is aligned to performance against the

EBITDA budget. The remaining 45% is assessed against the shared KPIs, which reflects key priorities for the year. The

measures and weightings for FY26 are set out below.

Long-term incentives

The Chief Executive, Executive Team and a small number of senior leaders have the opportunity to participate in a LTI

plan. A LTI plan is typically offered annually at the discretion of the Board. The purpose of this plan is to align senior

management and shareholders’ interests and optimise long-term shareholder returns.

For the FY26 LTI plan, the opportunity is 60% of fixed annual remuneration for the Chief Executive, 40% of fixed

annual remuneration for the Executive Team and 15–25% of salary for eligible senior leaders. Vesting of the LTI plan is

contingent on meeting absolute and relative total shareholder return (TSR) performance hurdles at the conclusion of

a three-year period. In addition, the participant needs to be employed by Summerset during the vesting period.

Under the plan, participants are granted zero-priced share options. Each zero-priced option entitles the holder to one

ordinary share in the company on vesting.

LTI performance plans

In FY25, the Board approved a change to the LTI plan vesting cycle, moving from two tranches to a single tranche. As

at 31 December 2025, three LTI plans remain unvested, with performance periods ending as follows:

Name of LTI plan

Vesting date – Tranche 1Vesting date – Tranche 2

FY24 LTI plan31 December 202631 December 2027

FY25 LTI plan

31 December 2027

FY23, FY24 and FY25 LTI Plan Performance Hurdles

 The FY23, FY24 and FY25 plans have the same performance hurdles which are:

•Absolute Shareholder Return aTSR (75%)

•Relative Shareholder Return rTSR (25%)

The FY23 plan has a different peer group to determine the rTSR performance, which was broadened for the FY24 and

FY25 plans to ensure continued appropriateness and reduce potential volatility.

1 1 3

Annual Report 2025
The number of aTSR share options that vest is determined by the TSR generated against Summerset’s cost of equity

(plus a margin). The maximum that can be earned under this component is 100% of the target option grant.

The number of rTSR share options that vest is determined by the company’s TSR over the Performance Period relative

to the peer group which includes the NZX 50, excluding banking institutions. If Summerset’s TSR performance is below

100% of the weighted average for the peer group, then no share options will vest. If Summerset’s TSR performance

is above 125% of the weighted average for the peer group, then 100% of the share options will vest. Payouts are a

straight-line interpolation between 0% and 100% for both aTSR and rTSR.

Share options will lapse if the vesting conditions are not satisfied. Share options also lapse if the holder

ceases to be employed by Summerset during the vesting period, unless otherwise determined by the Board for

exceptional circumstances.

FY26 Long-term incentive plan

For FY26, the Board has approved refinements to the LTI plan to ensure strong alignment with long‑term shareholder

value creation.

The FY26 LTI will comprise a 50:50 weighting between absolute Total Shareholder Return (aTSR) and relative Total

Shareholder Return (rTSR). This represents a shift from the 75:25 split applied in the FY23–FY25 plans and reflects a

more balanced emphasis on both the company’s absolute performance and its performance relative to peers.

The vesting framework has also been updated to introduce a broader performance range. Vesting will commence at

an absolute TSR threshold of 9.0%, with full vesting achieved at cost of equity plus 1%. This replaces the previous gate

of 10.9%, providing a more graduated scale that retains stretch while recognising the broader market environment.

CEO/worker ratio

The pay gap represents the number of times greater the CEO remuneration is to the remuneration of an employee

paid at the median of all Summerset employees. For the purposes of determining the median paid to all Summerset

employees, all permanent full-time, permanent part-time and fixed-term employees are included, with part-time

employees’ remuneration adjusted to a full-time equivalent amount.

As at 31 December 2025, the CEO’s salary of $1,064,369 was 16.7 times (2024: 13.2 times) that of the median employee

salary at $63,856 per annum. The CEO's total remuneration, including STIs and LTIs, of $2,015,341, was 27.7 times (2024:

23.0 times) the total remuneration of the median employee at $72,718 per annum.

Gender pay gap

Summerset remains committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and recognises the importance of

ensuring gender pay equity across our operations in New Zealand and Australia. As at 31 December 2025, our median

gender pay gap was 2%, a material improvement from 17% at the same time in 2024. This movement primarily

reflects shifts in our workforce composition, supported by the enhancement of our inclusive hiring practices that are

strengthening the equity and balance of our talent pipeline across all career levels.

On a like‑for‑like role basis, Summerset continues to report no gender pay gap. Notably, the Senior Management/

Executive cohort recorded a reduction in the gender pay gap from 11% in Q4 2024 to –2% in Q4 2025, indicating that

the median hourly rate for women within this group is higher than that of men.

We remain focused on monitoring the underlying drivers of our gender pay gap and ensuring our remuneration

practices are fair, consistent, and aligned with our commitment to equity and transparency.

Remuneration bands

The number of employees or former employees (including employees holding office as Directors of subsidiaries),

who received remuneration and other benefits valued at or exceeding $100,000 during the financial year

ended 31 December 2025 is specified in the following table.

The remuneration figures shown in the Remuneration column include all monetary payments actually paid during the

course of the year ended 31 December 2025. The table also includes the value of options granted to individual

employees under Summerset’s LTI Plan during the same period. The table does not include amounts paid

after 31 December 2025 that relate to the year ended 31 December 2025. The method of calculating remuneration is

consistent with the method applied for the previous year.

Director remuneration

As at 31 December 2025, the maximum aggregate amount of remuneration payable by Summerset to Directors (in their

capacity as Directors) was $1,010,000 per annum for the non-executive Directors (2024: $1,010,000) and annualised

standard Directors’ fees were $986,914, inclusive of additional remuneration for committee Chairs (2024: $960,000). In

respect of Australian-based Directors, the Board has decided to pay those Directors in Australian Dollars at the same

face value the New Zealand Directors are paid. This results in those Directors receiving slightly higher fees (as recorded

in the table below). As at 31 December 2025, the only Director who received payment in Australian dollars was Stephen

Bull. As at 31 December 2025, the standard Director fees per annum are as follows:

Fee schedule

Clinical Governance CommitteeChair$20,000

People and Culture CommitteeChair$20,000

Development and Construction CommitteeChair$20,000

Committee memberMember$10,000

The Committee member fee is payable to Directors (other than the Chair) who are a member of a standing Committee.

The fee is payable once per Director (i.e. if a Director is a member of two Committees, they will receive a single fee

of $10,000).

Directors’ fees exclude GST, where appropriate. Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for costs directly associated

with carrying out their duties, including travel costs.  

Directors and Officers also have the benefit of Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance. Cover is for damages,

judgements, fines, penalties, legal costs awarded and defence costs arising from wrongful acts committed while

acting for Summerset. There are some exclusions within the policy. The insurance cover is supplemented by the

provision of Director and Officer indemnities from the Company, but this does not extend to criminal acts.

The Company distinguishes the structure of non-executive Directors’ remuneration from that of executive Directors.

Non-executive Directors do not receive any:

•performance or equity-based remuneration (but are required to hold some Summerset shares as a requirement of

being a Director); or

•superannuation or any other scheme entitlements or retirement benefits.

The total amount of remuneration and other benefits received by each Director during the year ended 31 December
2025 is provided below. These amounts reflect actual payments to Directors during the year, and consequently,

depending on each Director's quarterly billing cycle, payroll periods and the actual payment date, the amounts

stated may vary between Directors and may not be representative of the Directors' fees earned for the year ended

Annual Report 2025
Glossary of terms

TermDefinition

Broadacre siteA broadacre site refers to a large area of land which can be used for large scale projects. In Summerset’s

case, we typically select sites of 8–10 hectares where we can build 220–250 villas as well as a village

centre building with care centre.

Care bedA bed/room at Summerset that allows a resident to have rest home, hospital or dementia level care.

Care EBITDACare fees from providing care (e.g. rest home and hospital care), DMFs from care units and realised

resale gain from care units less costs of operating the care centres. This excludes any allocation of head

office cost.

Care suiteRest home, hospital or dementia level care rooms/apartments that are subject to an ORA with a DMF.

Care suites are typically larger than a standard care room.

Care centreThe area in a Summerset village where Summerset provides care to residents with a team of 24/7

registered nurses and caregivers. Rest home, hospital and dementia level care or other specialist care is

provided in the care centre (subject to availability).

Completed villageVillages where all units, the care centre and common facilities have been completed and delivered.

Continuum-of-

care

The ongoing levels/progression of care offered by Summerset to our residents. Summerset's model is

to provide options for our residents should their health needs change. This means residents can move

from an independent home or apartment into care within the same village (subject to availability and

eligibility criteria).

Core debtCore debt refers to any accumulated debt from the construction of villages once they are complete

and all units are sold, plus any ongoing debt accumulated from operating retirement villages and care

centres once delivered.

Deferred

management

fee (DMF)

This is the fee charged by Summerset to residents in our villages under their ORA (the standard rate

is 25% of the ORA price, which accumulates over a five-year period). The calculated DMF which is

applicable in each case is deducted from the amount repaid to the outgoing resident upon resale of the

unit. The DMF is in consideration for the right to accommodation and the use of communal facilities over

the entire length of a resident's stay.

Developing villageThese are Summerset villages that have commenced construction or are still in the construction

phase. Some developing villages may be open to residents.

Development debtDebt relating to the construction of our villages, care centres and recreation spaces within our villages

as they are built and sold.

Development

margin

This is calculated using the first ORA sales receipt for the applicable unit, less the cost for developing

the applicable unit sold under ORA. Costs incorporate the land cost, share of infrastructure costs, direct

costs, share of other costs (e.g. landscaping), management fees and interest costs. The development

margin excludes recreation and administration facility costs and care centre costs (for non-ORA units).

FYRefers to Summerset's financial year (1 January–31 December).

HYRefers to Summerset's financial half year (1 January–30 June).

Hospital-level careThis refers to a higher level of care offered to residents in our care centres that provide nursing care 24

hours a day to residents who require full-time assistance.

Independent

resident

Residents who live in a Summerset village with minimal or no care or assistance required. Some

independent residents may have a services agreement, which provides additional support such as

personal services, meals, housekeeping or laundry, in addition to their ORA depending on their

individual circumstances.

Land bankThis refers to land purchased by Summerset that it has available to build on and grow future or

ongoing developments.

Memory careThis refers to an increased level of care for residents with dementia.  Memory care has been developed

to enable people living with dementia to continue to lead active lives in a safe and homely environment.

Some villages have secure memory care centres for residents who require this level of care.

TermDefinition
Net Tangible

Assets (NTA)

per share

This refers to Summerset’s total assets minus intangible assets and total liabilities divided by shares

on issue.

New villageA new village registered or being commissioned by Summerset.  A new village will often be under

construction, where brand new homes are being sold to new residents.

Occupation right

agreement (ORA)

This is the principal agreement that Summerset has with the majority of residents who occupy a home

in our villages.  An occupation right agreement within the meaning of the Retirement Villages Act 2023

(for villages in New Zealand) or a residence management contract within the meaning of the Retirement

Villages Act 1986 (Vic) (for villages in Australia) gives residents the right to live in a home at their

Summerset village, and outlines the terms and conditions of their residency.

Proposed villageA planned Summerset village where resource consent has not yet been granted and construction has not

yet started.

Realised

resale gain

The difference in resale unit sales price between the incoming resident and the previous resident. This

excludes DMF (shown separately) and forms part of underlying profit and annuity EBITDA.

Resale villageA completed Summerset village where all homes have been sold. A resale village typically would be

reselling homes under an ORA as residents leave.

ResidentAny person who lives at a Summerset village independently, in a serviced apartment or care room under

a contract with Summerset.

Rest home-

level care

An increased level of care offered to our residents with care provided to residents by our caregivers

with oversight of registered nurses. Depending on a resident's needs this can include daily personal care

and meals.

Serviced

apartment (NZ)/

Assisted living

apartment (AU)

An apartment in a Summerset village that requires the resident to hold an ORA and receive support

services as part of their living arrangement. The term Assisted living apartment is used in Australia for

Summerset apartments that include supported living services and are sold under an ORA.

Uncontracted

stock

Summerset retirement village homes that are for sale and not currently under a contract for occupation

or sale.

Underlying profitNon-GAAP financial measure used by Summerset to monitor financial performance and determine

dividend distributions. It is calculated by making the following adjustments to reported net profit after

tax: Removing the change in fair value in investment properties, removing any impairment, removing

greenhouse effect.

Science-based targetA target to reduce GHG emissions in line with climate science, which has been reviewed and

validated by the Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi).

Scope 1 emissionsEmissions that are directly produced by an organisation through its day-to-day operations (e.g. fuel

used to run vehicles).

Scope 2 emissionsIndirect GHG emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling (e.g. electricity

used to run village centres or offices).
