About Healius
Today Healius has three main businesses – Pathology,
Medical Centres and Imaging – and three emerging
businesses – Dental, IVF and Day Hospitals. Through its
unique footprint of centres and 13,000 employees, Healius
provides diagnostic services to consumers and their referring
practitioners, as well as enabling a range of independent
healthcare professionals to deliver patient care in partnership
with Healius’ nurses and support staff.
Pathology
Imaging
Healius’ Pathology division, Specialist Diagnostic
Services or SDS, is one of Australia’s leading
providers of private medical laboratory and
pathology services.
Healius’ Imaging division, through its brand
Healthcare Imaging Services or HIS, operates
a network of sites across the country, in partnership
with around 110 independent radiologists.
SDS operates over 100 medical laboratories and over 2,200
patient collection centres across metropolitan, regional
and remote Australia. SDS employs around 280 specialist
pathologists and 7,800 scientists, technicians, collectors
and team members. Each year, it provides one in every three
pathology services in Australia, extending from exclusively
servicing some of Australia’s largest and most complex
private and public hospitals to small and remote Australian
Aboriginal communities.
SDS provides leading medical laboratory and pathology
services covering key diagnostic activities of anatomical
pathology (histopathology and cytology), clinical pathology
(chemistry, haematology, immunology and microbiology),
genomic diagnostics and veterinary pathology.
It offers these services through a variety of state-based and
specialty brands. These include QML, Laverty, Dorevitch and
Western Diagnostic Pathology which operate in Queensland,
NSW, Victoria and South Australia, Western Australia and
Northern Territory respectively. Key specialty brands include
Genomic Diagnostics, Australia’s largest non-government
diagnostic genetic sequencing facility.
HIS manages over 140 sites in total, comprised of
stand-alone community imaging centres, and imaging
facilities located within Healius’ medical centres and private
and public hospitals.
HIS provides professional and support services to radiologists
enabling them to focus on the provision of quality care for
their patients. HIS also employs a highly-trained team of
radiographers, sonographers, nuclear medicine technologists,
nurses, centre support staff and corporate staff. A full suite
of modalities and services are offered which include: X-ray,
ultrasound, computerised tomography (CT), mammography,
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, positron
emission tomography (PET) and interventional radiology.
These independent radiologists undertake a range of imaging
services including specialist women’s health, cardiac,
neurology, vascular, musculoskeletal and dental imaging,
with approximately three million radiography examinations
conducted in Healius’ sites each year.

Currently reported within the Medical
Centres division, Healius has three
emerging businesses:
Primary Dental
Healius’ dental business, Primary Dental, is one
of the top four dental operators in the country.
The dental centres are situated within Healius
Medical Centres in over 60 locations across the
country and offer accessible and affordable
dental services.
Adora Fertility
Healius’ IVF business model, which brings
together a team of IVF specialists, GPs, nurses
and scientists, has been disrupting the IVF
sector since 2014. The business has four major
clinics around the country and is now expanding
its footprint to include satellite clinics that
will enable wider access to high quality and
affordable fertility services for couples residing
outside major treatment centres.
Day Hospitals
Driven by improving surgical technology and
superior patient outcomes, the healthcare
industry is experiencing a shift away from higher
cost overnight procedures towards day hospital
procedures, with the number of private day
hospital admissions doubling in the last 10 years.
Healius’ emerging Day Hospitals business
comprises five day hospitals situated in Medical
Centres and the recently acquired Montserrat
Day Hospitals (Montserrat) business. Montserrat
is a unique and high quality business with nine
modern, well-run facilities that are strategically
located and accessible to both specialists
and patients.
The business provides a platform to diversify
funding in non-Medicare revenues. With its
combination of day hospitals and haematology/
oncology clinics, it also delivers benefits and
integration opportunities to the pathology
and IVF divisions.

Medical
Centres
Healius partners with almost 1,300 independent
general practitioners (GPs), dentists, specialists and
other healthcare professionals (HCPs) who address
both acute and chronic conditions in their patients.
Healius provides a range of professional and support services
to HCPs enabling them to focus on the provision of quality care
for their patients.
Healius has over 70 Medical Centres across Australia which
are generally open 365 days a year, 7am to 10pm, and offer
appointments and walk-in services. The majority of services
provided by the independent HCPs in these centres are
bulk billed.
Healius’ large-scale, multi-disciplinary Medical Centres are
equipped with treatment rooms, nursing support, pathology
and radiology. Many centres have a range of specialist
services including: Dental, Physiotherapy, Occupational Health,
Allied Health Services, IVF, Eye Specialists, Skin Specialists,
Skin Cancer Checks and Consultant Specialist Doctors.
Health & Co is the brand under which Healius is building
a network of established GP practices. Health & Co partners
with independent doctors who want to continue to run their
own practices with the benefit of its support, helping these
owners to further build their businesses through smarter
services and network advantages.

Our strategy
Through accessible, high-quality,
consumer-centric healthcare
services, Healius is committed to
delivering excellence in healthcare
in Australia and creating value for
investors, consumers, employees
and the many communities
in which it operates.
The healthcare sector is going
through a period of significant
change, influenced by trends in:
• Ongoing population growth and
life expectancy growth
•
Improving survival rates from
common diseases and improving
treatment options
• Artificial intelligence (AI), robotics
and big data analysis
•
Increasingly informed and
empowered consumers demanding
better ways of accessing healthcare
when, where and how they want it.

Both the costs of and demands for healthcare in Australia
are growing. Those companies which can combine clinical
excellence, consumer-friendly delivery and cost efficiency
within a frontline community setting will be sustainable into
the future. They will support consumer wellbeing along with
disease prevention and early intervention, core to successful
healthcare in the future.
Healius is committed to positioning itself at the forefront
of community healthcare delivery in Australia and to creating
a sustainable working environment for HCPs and staff.
To deliver this, Healius is investing in a raft of initiatives including
the repositioning of the Medical Centres with expansion
of GP numbers and diversification of patient services, and
upgrades to core technology platforms, including long overdue
investments in radiology through iCAR3 and a new Laboratory
Information System (LIS) in Pathology.

Our new brands
Over the years Healius has grown to be
a diversified healthcare business supported by
many independent brands and a unique footprint
across Australia. To better align with the healthcare
services delivered, our people and our future,
the Company changed its name from Primary
Health Care Limited (Primary) to Healius Limited
(Healius), after shareholder approval at the
2018 Annual General Meeting.
The name ‘Healius’ conveys a perspective
that health and healing are not just
when people are sick but part and
parcel of everyday life. It is an integral
element in establishing a modern and
inspirational identity that reflects our
vision and our strategy. The rebrand
is also an important signal, in particular
to Healthcare Professionals, of the
changes that are underway in the group.
The Company changed its name and
Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) code
to Healius, ASX:HLS in December 2018.

In March 2019 Primary IVF welcomed a new look and name,
rebranding to Adora Fertility. The name Adora means ‘gift’
in Ancient Greek, reflecting the organisation’s mission
to provide Australian couples with the opportunity to start
a family. The brand was chosen to reflect the organisation’s
passion for making IVF services accessible to more
Australian couples.
Skin2 is a doctor-led service dedicated to the diagnosis and
treatment of skin cancer. All Skin2 facilities are state-of-the-art
and located within our Medical Centre facilities where patients
benefit from the best possible service and outcomes through
early detection, treatment and prevention.
The SwiftQ Immediate Care brand represents a new service
and experience for patients with non-life-threatening
single-problem episodic care. SwiftQ complements the
recurring and preventative healthcare services provided
under our normal GP service with our nurses triaging patients
into the appropriate treatment channel. The service is
being introduced into a number of Healius Medical Centres
which have been upgraded as part of the Leapfrog program.
SwiftQ Dental is a fixed-price general dentistry service, offering
five dental services for $99 each, to address a need within the
community for affordable dental services. The pricing structure
is aimed at providing transparency for dental treatments and
encouraging patients to have regular check-ups and seek
treatment for symptoms of pain and discomfort resulting
from dental issues.

Sustainability
Healius has recently published
its first Sustainability Report
on its website detailing
key social, environmental
and governance matters
for the Group.
Social
In terms of its social responsibility, Healius plays an important
role in society in supporting the health and wellbeing of the
Australian community by means of quality, affordable and
accessible frontline care.
The Company considers its success depends on putting
people front and centre, with the right tools and support
to deliver the best possible patient outcomes. To this end,
new Purpose and Mission statements were created in 2018
with the values of ‘WE CARE’ representing the aspiration
to develop a culture of care and empathy for its people that
mirrors the care and empathy patients expect from them.
Key social areas identified and detailed in the
Sustainability Report include employee compensation,
training and development, engagement and diversity;
HCP recruitment and engagement; supply chain management;
and relations with Government and the community.

Healius, through its Environmental Policy and other policies
and processes, is committed to managing its operations
in an environmentally sustainable manner, to maximising
resource efficiency in relation to the consumption of energy
and natural resources and to minimising wastage.
The operations of the Group are not subject to any site-specific
environmental licenses or permits. However with an extensive
network of centres and clinics, Healius is looking at a range
of energy saving opportunities and waste reduction initiatives
as it refurbishes existing sites and constructs new sites
including the rollout of solar power systems across a number
of medical and imaging centres and pathology laboratories.
Vehicle fleet and waste management, including clinical
waste management, are other key environmental matters
identified and detailed in the Sustainability Report.
Governance
As part of an ongoing commitment to its shareholders,
Healius is dedicated to maintaining high standards of
corporate governance. Healius works within an accountable
system that includes corporate governance policies and
practices and risk management processes. These are
designed to promote and strengthen the Company’s
responsible management and corporate code of conduct.
In addition to ethical standards, risk management, health
and safety, data security and data privacy, Healius has
identified clinical quality and accreditation as a key
governance matter. Healius believes quality underpins
the delivery of clinical excellence in healthcare and all
divisions operate under appropriate quality systems and
processes. Clinical Directors or Medically-trained Chief
Operating Officers are responsible for ensuring clinical
governance is maintained within their relevant businesses.
In addition each of the divisions is accredited under
the relevant accreditation schemes or standards.
Healius – Annual Report 2019

Risk
management
Healius has designed
a Risk Management
Framework consistent
with current
best practice.
The Risk Management Framework formalises the approach adopted by all of Healius’
businesses to manage risk. The future performance of Healius, including share
performance, may be influenced by a range of risk factors, many of which are outside
the control or Healius and its Directors. A non-exhaustive list of key risks, including
those specific to Healius and those of a more general nature, is set out in this section.
Healius’ business, financial condition, or results of operations could be affected
by any of these risks, either individually or in combination.
Identifying and mitigating risk is key to Healius achieving its objectives and protecting
shareholder value. By following the Risk Management Framework, Healius has
a consistent risk management methodology that can be applied to all strategic,
operational and contractual objectives.
The elements of the Healius Risk Management Framework are:

Healius has adopted the International Organisation for Standardisation AS/NZS ISO 31000:2018

on operational excellence and effective risk management.

Healius operates in sectors which
are subject to extensive laws and
significant levels of regulations relating
to the development, licencing and
accreditation of facilities and services.
Healius is committed to providing affordable
healthcare. Bulk-billing its services to
patients and receiving reimbursement
through the Government’s Medicare
Benefits Schedule (MBS) is a key feature
of this. As a result a substantial proportion
of the group’s revenue is derived from the
MBS. Any changes to the MBS or any other
Government funding initiatives could impact
profitability through reductions in revenue.
While the majority of Healius’ revenue
comes from MBS reimbursements, Healius
does charge out-of-pockets on some
services. In addition there may be a general
perception that some healthcare services
are expensive. Consequently consumers may
delay or not use services due to affordability
concerns, impacting volumes and revenue.
Healius contracts to provide services to HCPs,
including general practitioners, specialists
and radiologists. A significant component
of Healius’ revenue is dependent upon service
fees paid by HCPs providing services to patients.
Failure to maintain strong relationships with
these parties may impact our ability to retain
and recruit HCPs. This may impact growth
prospects, revenue earned, the cost structure
and profitability of Healius’ businesses.
Healius is reliant upon doctors continuing
to choose a pathology or diagnostic
imaging services provider affiliated with
Healius. A reduction or loss of referrals may
impact the financial performance of Healius.
Healius is dependent on the quality of its
staff, their skills, expertise and commitment
to the Group. A loss of key staff may risk the
loss of significant corporate knowledge.
Many of Healius’ employees are covered
by awards, enterprise bargaining
agreements and other workplace
agreements which periodically require
classification, renegotiation and renewal.
Negotiations could result in issues
which may lead to disruptions to
Healius’ operations and increased
direct and indirect labour costs. These
may adversely impact the financial
performance and reputation of Healius.
Healius maintains high quality standards
and audit processes to ensure it continually
meets licencing and accreditation
standards across all business units.
Healius maintains tight control over costs
and continually reviews the range of
service offerings available to patients.
Healius is continuing to diversify into other service
areas to generate non-MBS revenue streams.
The Group Executive for Government
Relations monitors legislative and
regulatory developments and engages
proactively to manage this risk.
Healius maintains tight control over costs
and continually reviews the range of
service offerings available to patients.
Healius has managers and staff dedicated
to maintaining relationships, increasing
engagement and addressing any
issues with HCPs on a timely basis.
Healius also has Clinical Councils
in place as a forum to share ideas
and information with HCPs.
Healius has managers and staff dedicated to
maintaining relationships, increasing engagement
and addressing any issues with HCPs, referrers
and non-doctor clients on a timely basis.
Under the ‘Medical Hub’ model, Healius
works closely with partner business units
to share ideas between businesses.
Healius has developed staff engagement
and leadership programs to increase the
level of employee engagement across
the Group, and identified key staff for
programs that focus on retention and
succession planning for the Group.
Healius has developed staff engagement
programs to increase the level of

MITIGATION
Healius relies on effective information
technology systems. Operations
may be significantly impacted by
disruption to a core IT platform.
Healius maintains sensitive clinical and
financial information and its databases
may be at risk from cyber attacks.
Competition may come from new entrants into
the market, existing competitors attempting
to increase market share or from disruptive
technologies that may change that way
services are delivered. A change in competition
may impact Healius’ profitability, and the
ability to attract and retain HCPs and secure
attractive locations for its businesses.
Healius is undergoing significant
transformation as it seeks to position
itself for future growth and sustainability.
There is a risk that significant change may
impact current operational focus and
ineffective implementation, misguided
strategies or industry changes of initiatives
and strategies, may impact the financial
performance of the business.
Healius’ reputation may be impacted
by a future event that creates adverse
perception of the Group for the
public, investors, regulators, or rating
agencies that directly or indirectly
impacts earnings and value.
Healius has an acquisition program
to acquire businesses which may be
either rolled into our existing businesses,
or provide new service offerings in
the community. There is a risk that the
acquisitions may not generate the
financial returns or performance hurdles
required to meet Healius benchmarks.
Climate change risks may be either ‘physical’
with financial implications resulting from
potential damage to assets, indirect
impacts from supply chain disruption,
or ‘transitional’ through changes to
regulations and consumer behaviour.
Healius has IT support systems in place
to underpin business operations.
Healius has an information security management
framework and information security policy which
are based on ISO 27001 and NIST best practice
standards which align with Healius’ risk appetite.
Healius has an ongoing program to
strengthen defences against unauthorised
access, and to protect patient and
financial data with IT managers and staff
dedicated to information security.
Healius maintains its competitive edge through
an extensive footprint of centres, investment
in quality and innovation in healthcare services,
and a cost-conscious operating model.
In addition, senior management is attuned
to market developments and is able to
respond to any competitive threats.
Healius is applying portfolio
management to prioritise and align
change initiatives to Healius’ business
strategy, in order to mitigate this risk.
In addition, an organisational re-design is
being undertaken to simplify management
structures, improve divisional agility and
drive a more efficient group function.
Healius maintains stringent quality standards,
audit processes and effective involvement
of executive and senior management
in decision making to ensure it continues
to provide quality healthcare and minimise
the risk of reputational damage.
Healius has a robust due diligence process
to assess the merits of each proposed
acquisition, and plans the transition of the
acquired business into the Healius Group.
Healius manages its operations in an
environmentally sustainable manner, focusing
on energy and renewables to improve efficiency,
adapting to changes in consumer behaviour
and reducing its carbon footprint. In the event
of extreme weather conditions impacting the
operation, through damage or disruption from
supply chain, Healius has the network to continue
operations in other locations where possible.
Healius – Annual Report 2019

Chairman and CEO’s letter
2019 IN REVIEW
Looking at the financials, Healius delivered Underlying Net Profit
after Tax (NPAT) of $93.2 million, an increase of 6.5% on revenue
growth of 5.9%. All three divisions are on a positive trajectory
with improved performance in 2H 2019 compared to 1H 2019.
Our largest business, Pathology produced a very creditable
performance overall, after the well-publicised softness in the
market in the first half of the year. It delivered revenue growth
of 3.5% to $1.1 billion and underlying EBIT just below last year’s
result at $111 million.
In Medical Centres, underlying EBIT improved 19.0% in FY 2019
with a turnaround in the Healius Medical Centres and in Health
& Co. The Day Hospitals and IVF businesses grew revenue
but are not yet contributing strongly to EBIT, with greenfield
investment this year to underpin future growth.
Imaging grew revenue by 7.9% in the year, and increased
its market share, notwithstanding softer market conditions.
Underlying EBIT was up by 14.5%, the third successive year
of double-digit increases.
The underlying results are used as our prime measure of
operating performance. Reported NPAT in the year, which
included investment in our strategic initiatives, was $55.9 million,
compared to $4.1 million in FY 2018 with no legacy issues,
such as impairments, to address.
We invested in $51.6 million of maintenance capital expenditure
(capex), just below FY 2018 levels, and $176.4 million of growth
capex, utilising our operating cash flow and part of the
funds received from the capital raise. Our resulting net debt
at 30 June 2019 was $678.2 million.
In order to ensure a balance between optimal gearing,
investment in strategic initiatives and payment of dividends
to shareholders, the Board has declared a final dividend
of 3.4 cents per share fully franked, which equates to
a payout ratio of 60% of Reported Net Profit after Tax.
This brings the total for the year to 7.2 cents per share fully
franked (FY 2018: 10.6 cents per share). It is expected that
the payout ratio will return to previous levels on completion
of the current investment phase in the business.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES
During FY 2019, we created a new brand in “Healius” which
is integral to establishing a modern and inspirational identity
and is an important signal, of the changes that are underway
in the Group.
Medical Centres is undertaking a comprehensive renewal
of its model to deliver care when, where and how consumers
need it, supported by technology that makes managing
health simpler, and an environment which attracts the right
GPs to the right centres. During the year we saw a record
number of GPs using the services of our centres and an
increase in their gross billings per hour. We are now offering
appointments at nearly all of our centres with a range
of digital innovations to make the consumer experience
better, and to reduce our costs. 15 of our medical centres
have been refreshed and additional consult and treatment
rooms have been added.
Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to present you with
Healius’ 2019 Annual Report. It has been
another busy year for the Company,
one in which we have rebranded the
Group, raised capital in the market
and acquired a leading day hospital
business. In January 2019, we assessed
and rejected a takeover offer by our
largest shareholder, Jangho, on the
basis of conditionality and value, and
proceeded with the implementation
of our strategy. We finished the year
with substantial progress on key
strategic initiatives and a program
in train to deliver more efficiencies
in our cost base.
18
In all divisions we are progressing with the implementation
of business-specific core platforms to support their future
growth including the Laboratory Information System in
Pathology, Medical Director 3 in Medical Centres and the
iCAR system in Imaging which is bringing a new radiology
information and picture archiving solution. The latter project
is nearing completion and is tangible evidence of our success
in rolling-out IT projects at Healius.
In our emerging businesses, Primary Dental, which is one of the
top four dental operations in the country, performed strongly.
Our IVF business model has opened up the opportunity
for more Australians to have a family. Achievements in FY
2019 included a rebrand of the business to “Adora Fertility”,
substantial capacity upgrades, and the opening of a facility
in Western Australia, in response to growing demand.
The success of our Dental and IVF businesses demonstrate
our ability to build great businesses from start-up.
We acquired Montserrat Day Hospitals which, when
combined with our own facilities, gives us a portfolio
of 14 day hospitals. They operate in an exciting and
growing market in healthcare and we see this division
soon becoming a significant contributor to the Group.
At the end of FY 2019, the Company commenced
an organisational re-design which aims to simplify
the management structures, improve divisional agility
and autonomy, and drive a more efficient Group function.
This program will produce a leaner Group support structure.
OUR PEOPLE
At Healius, we believe our success depends on putting our
people front and centre, with the right tools and support
to deliver the best possible patient outcomes. This has been
a cultural shift for the Group. We are committed to continuous
improvement and, early in the year, we identified and rectified
potential errors in classification and entitlements under the
Modern Awards for some of our people, past and present, in
Medical Centres. We continue to cooperate with the Fair Work
Ombudsman on this matter. We also resolved a pay dispute in
our Victorian pathology division and have improved the culture
and communications in that business.
Since 30 June 2019, Healius has announced two changes to
its key management personnel. Malcolm Ashcroft, the Chief
Financial Officer, is leaving Healius and Maxine Jaquet is
assuming this role. Maxine established our Health & Co business
which now has 13 clinics in its network. More recently she has
spearheaded the strategic and efficiency reviews. Additionally
Wesley Lawrence, CEO of the Pathology division is leaving
Healius with John McKechnie stepping in. John has a proven
track record as head of one of the best-performing pathology
businesses in the country, our own QML Pathology, which has
an annual turnover of $350 million and over 2,000 employees.
In relation to the Board of Directors, Robert Ferguson retired
as our long-standing Non-executive Chairman of the Board
and Sally Evans joined the Healius Board as a Non-executive
Director in July and August 2018 respectively.

OUTLOOK
The long-term drivers for healthcare remain positive.
There is strong underlying demand for healthcare
in Australia, underpinned by a growing and ageing
population, increasing numbers of people living for
longer with chronic illnesses, rising patient expectations
and expanding wealth per capita. The drivers of price,
convenience and technology are shifting consumer
demands for better ways to access care. As a result
both the costs of, and demands for, healthcare
services in this country are growing.
Healius believes that a well-funded frontline health
system is key to delivering efficient and effective
healthcare. The Government’s healthcare policy
settings point to a relatively stable regulatory
environment in the near-term. However, with costs
on the increase, funding pressures will remain for our
industry. It is incumbent upon private sector providers
like ourselves to be agile, diversify their revenue,
and maintain lean cost structures.
The unique footprint and services that Healius
provides as a major corporate player in the sector
are becoming increasingly important in this context.
We believe those companies offering a combination
of clinical excellence, simple consumer-friendly
access and cost-efficiency in a community setting
will succeed. They will support consumer wellbeing,
along with disease prevention and early intervention,
core to the future of good healthcare.
Turning to FY 2020, we expect to grow our underlying
NPAT, subject to market conditions and any changes
occurring from the implementation of AASB 16 on
leases. We will give a guidance at our upcoming AGM.
We would like to thank Healius’ management team,
healthcare professionals and employees for their
hard work and commitment over the last 12 months.
We would also like to thank you, as shareholders,
for your continued support.

Underlying results for the year ended 30 June 2019 exclude the impact of non-underlying items relating to restructuring and strategic initiatives.
UNDERLYING RESULTS
In the year ended 30 June 2019, Healius expanded its returns, delivering underlying NPAT growth of 6.5% on revenue growth of 5.9%.
Underlying EBIT of $167.3 million was recorded, with all three divisions seeing increasingly positive momentum throughout the year.
Pathology in particular was up 46% in 2H 2019 compared to 1H 2019. Medical Centres delivered two halves of improved returns from
its lows in 2H 2018. Imaging has seen three years of double-digit growth.
The strong result in 2H 2019 was due, in part, to the successful execution of productivity initiatives in response to 1H 2019 market
conditions. As an extension to these initiatives, the Company is currently undertaking an organisational re-design which aims
to simplify the management structures, improve divisional agility and autonomy, and drive a more efficient Group function. It will
improve the performance of the Group from FY 2020 onwards.
The underlying EBIT performance in FY 2019 included additional costs of $12.5 million for investment in greenfield sites opened in the
last three years including five Medical Centres, five Day Hospitals and expansion of the IVF services into Queensland and Western
Australia. The ramp-up of new Medical Centres is being accelerated through the roll-in of nearby clinics which bring both GPs and
patients into these centres, including three at Greensborough in Victoria. A strong increase in performance will occur as Healius
stops carrying these start-up costs. Underlying EBIT was $179.8 million and underlying NPAT $102.0 million in FY 2019 normalised for
this investment.

REPORTED RESULTS
At a reported level Healius recorded an EBIT of $117.4 million, up from $64.6 million in FY 2018. Known legacy issues have been
substantially addressed. This review of operations focuses on the underlying results of Healius which are adjusted for several items
not considered to be part of core trading performance. The adjustments between reported and underlying EBIT are as follows:

There are four key strategic projects which are undeniably transformational in nature and unlikely to be undertaken again at such
a collective magnitude. These are the Leapfrog project in Medical Centres, the technology platform upgrades in Pathology and
in Imaging, and the corporate renewal program. They are reported separately both internally and to the market in order to neither
distract or distort the underlying performance. Adjustments in FY 2019 were as follows:
•
•
• Corporate renewal program ($9.2 million)
Leapfrog ($13.1 million)
Platforms in Pathology ($10.3 million) and Imaging ($3.1 million)
The balance of the adjustments relates to business set-up costs for the Montserrat acquisition and Health & Co deferred payments
($5.1 million), restructuring and redundancies ($3.1 million) and other costs including rebranding and corporate defence costs
($6.0 million).
The adjustments to reported results will continue until these strategic programs are completed. The non-underlying costs
relating to the Imaging platform are expected to cease and the Leapfrog program to substantially reduce after FY 2020 while
the Laboratory Information System implementation in Pathology is a five-year project. The corporate renewal program is likely
to increase under the organisational re-design program with acceleration of the digitisation and automation in financial shared
services to bring forward potential efficiency gains. The organisational re-design also involves a redundancy program consistent
with the planned simplification of the management structure and the Group function.
TAX EXPENSE
The Group reported an income tax expense for FY 2019 of $27.3 million, which equated to an effective tax rate of 32.8%,
$2.3 million above the prima facie tax expense of 30%. This was primarily due to the $4.9 million permanent difference associated
with amortisation of healthcare practice acquisitions prior to 30 June 2015. The additional accounting tax expense for these
acquisitions will cease in FY 2020. From FY 2021 onwards, Healius expects the Group’s effective tax rate to revert to 30%,
assuming the current structure and nature of the business. An effective tax rate of 30% has been adopted for underlying NPAT.

Operating cash flow in FY 2019 was lower than FY 2018. This included outflows for:
•
•
$22 million back payments for the Healius Medical Centres modern awards adjustment and Dorevitch pay determination, and
$16 million of additional tax payments including a $10 million refund in FY 2018.
Operating cash flow was used, in part, to fund maintenance capital expenditure of $51.6 million, just below FY 2018 levels, and
growth capital expenditure of $176.4 million including:
•
•
$68 million Montserrat Day Hospitals acquisition, and
$36 million for the aforementioned strategic projects (Leapfrog ($26.9 million), and platforms in Pathology ($4.2 million) and
Imaging ($5.0 million).
Group net debt at 30 June 2019 was $678.2 million compared to $776.8 million 30 June 2018, analysed as follows:

The bank gearing ratio is calculated based on underlying EBITDA before the impact of AASB 15.
The first tranche of Healius’ syndicated bank debt facility, totalling $500 million, is due to mature in January 2021 and the second
of $625 million in January 2023.
Healius has delivered a significant improvement in its leverage over the last four years from an extensive capital recycling program,
free cash flow generation and the $250 million capital raise in FY 2019. In FY 2019, cash usage was high with investment in strategic
initiatives and the acquisition of Montserrat. These are expected to deliver substantial operating cash flow in the future.
DIVIDENDS
In order to ensure a balance between optimal gearing, investment in strategic initiatives and payment of dividends to
shareholders, the Board has decided to temporarily reduce the dividend. The Board has declared a final dividend of 3.4 cents
per share, fully franked, which equates to a payout ratio of 60% of Reported Net Profit after Tax. This brings the total for the year
to 7.2 cents per share, fully franked (FY 2018: 10.6 cents per share). It is expected that the payout ratio will return to previous levels
on completion of the current investment phase in the business.

BUSINESS
REVIEW
Pathology
Pathology is the largest division of Healius. It is a well-run business,
with strong state-based brands which are all number one or two
in their markets.
The strength of Healius’ Pathology division is well known, with long-term underlying
drivers, strong market share, network and scale.
In FY 2019, Pathology grew its revenues by 3.5% and increased its market share, when
normalised for the loss of the bowel screening contract in FY 2018. Market softness
in 1H 2019 impacted Healius’ annual growth in revenue but pleasingly 2H 2019 was
much stronger, with June and July volumes returning to long term averages.
Pathology recorded good average fee per episode growth in FY 2019 which included
increases in specialty revenue, for example a 13% increase in genetics.
Strong cost control in 2H 2019 saw the division’s EBIT result improve 46% compared
to 1H 2019 with the productivity programs delivering their projected savings. When
normalised for the loss of the bowel screening contract in FY 2018 and Dorevitch
labour cost increases in the year, annual EBIT grew greater than revenue.

STRATEGY
Cost control
During the period, the division focussed on the
optimisation of its regional laboratory network as well
as the return metrics within its footprint of collection
centres. The current organisational re-design initiatives
will identify further efficiencies.
Investment for growth
The division has continued to invest in the development
of a modern infrastructure platform that will provide
significant clinical, operational and financial benefits
to support future growth. This includes:
• Upgrade to the main laboratory testing equipment
the Serum Work Area, or SWA, which covers around
60% of all pathology tests. This is nearing completion
in Laverty Pathology (NSW), with other states
to follow. It will increase automation and improve
clinical methodologies while being at a lower cost
per reportable.
The Laboratory Information System, or LIS, project
where SCC has been selected as the system
provider and Healius is now standardising processes
and conventions across existing systems to ensure
a smooth implementation, expected to commence
later this calendar year.
•
Overall, the LIS program will revolutionise processes,
reporting and service delivery. It will enable Healius
to lead the way in consumer-centred pathology,
increasing functionality and digital results for
referrers and consumers, and putting Healius
at the forefront of innovation, genetics and big
data analytics. It will also enable standardisation
and automation in the pre-analytical processes,
including in collection, courier, data entry, and
specimen reception areas.
LIS is expected to cost in the order of $100 million
and to deliver net savings of approximately
$20 million per year once embedded in the
business. Furthermore, an improved ability to
meet referrers’ needs will enable Healius to increase
its market share in higher-margin and fast growth
complex tests.
The division is also continuing to invest in niche
specialists in particular Genomic Diagnostics.
Non-invasive Prenatal Testing continued its
strong growth during the period with EBIT up 33%.
Breast cancer screening testing had its first full
year in operation while pharmacogenomics was
introduced in mid-May with promising early results.

UNDERLYING PERFORMANCE
Importantly, the division’s EBIT improved 19.0% in FY 2019 on revenue growth of 13.0%,
with two consecutive halves of growth from its lows in 2H 2018. This positive result was
underpinned by the turnaround in the Healius Medical Centres and in Health & Co.
While the Day Hospitals and IVF businesses have contributed to the top-line growth,
they are not yet contributing strongly to EBIT with significant greenfield investment
in both businesses.
Overall, Healius has made a substantial investment in greenfield sites in the Medical
Centres. EBIT for FY 2019 would have been $48 million if not for the losses on greenfield
sites. The roll-in of smaller acquired clinics, which bring both GPs and patients, has been
accelerated to reduce the short-term drag on returns. A positive swing in performance
will occur as the division stops carrying these start-up costs.

STRATEGY
Management is undertaking a comprehensive renewal
of the business under Project Leapfrog.
People
Recruitment of significantly larger numbers of GPs
through a multi-channel approach is a key part
of Project Leapfrog.
As aforementioned, FY 2019 was a record recruitment
year and the pipeline for FY 2020 is strong with around
70 FTE GPs with contracts already signed or terms
agreed. The M&A stream also has a good pipeline
of local clinics interested in moving into the existing
large-scale centres.
While not yet at the target in the capital raise, Healius
had a very strong result in the second half of FY 2019 with
a net increase of over 60 FTE GPs. It aims to build on this
success in FY 2020 and 2021.
Processes
Through significantly increasing operational efficiency,
Project Leapfrog is transforming the way things
are done in the medical centres. Digitisation and
re-engineering of workflows are underpinning these
improvements. The introduction of online appointments
is enabling GPs to deliver continuity of care, improve
clinical outcomes and create a more consistent patient
flow throughout the day.
The Medical Director 3 (MD3) practice management
system has been rolled out to the majority of sites
with the remaining sites to be converted by the end
of September 2019. Once complete all centres across
the network will have appointment capability.
Importantly, Medical Centres which have introduced
appointments and other process improvements have
demonstrated increased gross billings per hour.
Expansion to the consumer offering has been
progressing in line with the refurbishments of the
medical centres, including SwiftQ Immediate
Care, the brand under which the new urgent care
service is operating, Skin2 skin cancer clinic, and the
occupational medicine business, now operating
under the brand Logic Health.
An enhanced consumer experience through digital
enablement aims to attract and retain patients.
Pilot sites are trialling e-recalls, self-check in kiosks
and the new “join the queue remotely” facility with
good acceptance rates continuing.
Property
Project Leapfrog aims to substantially improve both the
utilisation and the experience within Healius’ footprint
through space optimisation, facilities improvements,
and the introduction of expanded and new services
where the local demand is evident and with little
or no incremental rental costs. The improvements
are also expected to capture an increased proportion
of pathology, imaging and dental flows.
To date 15 centres have undergone a modernisation
and expansion of services and a further six dental
and six skin-enabled rooms have been uplifted in
separate centres through the year. There are further
centres planned for transformation in FY 2020 under
a stage-gate process once the completed sites
demonstrate improved returns.
Overall the Leapfrog targets set out in the capital raise
documents are expected to be delivered. However
it is likely that the $1 million EBIT per centre target will be
achieved one year later than originally planed in FY 2022.
Healius – Annual Report 2019

Healius Medical Centres: GPs
Pleasingly, Healius recruited a record 259 GPs in the year,
211 through the usual channels, nine through conversion
of registrars and 39 joining through the Leapfrog M&A program.
Total GP recruitment represented 63% growth on FY 2018.
The average age of the recruits was 47 years bringing
the cohort average down to 54 years.
Departures of GPs normalised from quarter two onwards
delivering a strong increase in net GPs each month. At the
end of the period, there was a total of 1,164 GPs, or 992 Full
Time Equivalents (FTEs), at Healius Medical Centres.
Approximately 10% of GPs are left on the old five-year
contracts. Flexible contracts are appealing to a wider cohort
of GPs and delivering a more capital efficient process requiring
under half the upfront costs. To balance the value proposition,
the revenue sharing arrangements have increased in favour
of the GP, with Healius’ average share currently at 32.2% 1.
In FY 2019 $28.9 million was spent on GP upfronts, with 19%
of new GPs and around 25% of re-signing GPs electing
to receive upfront contracts. The reduction in capital
expenditure is freeing up cash for investment elsewhere.
Health & Co
The Health & Co network comprises 13 clinics, with practices
in NSW, VIC, QLD, and SA. It recorded its first positive EBIT,
of $1.9 million, in FY 2019 on $19.7 million of revenue.
With 67 GPs recruited to the network (52 through acquisitions
and 15 new recruits), there were 132 GPs or 98 FTEs in the Health
& Co network at the end of FY 2019. GP retention was at 93%.

Healius adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018 which adjusts for
upfront payments.

EMERGING BUSINESSES
Growth in Healius’ emerging businesses is
diversifying revenue and delivering patient flow
opportunities from a ‘one-stop shop’ within the
community care setting.
Dental
The Dental business is one of the top four dental operations
in the country, with 164 dentists or 133 FTEs working at 61 dental
locations. The division performed strongly in the period with
a revenue increase of 4.8% to $35.2 million and an EBIT of
$5.7 million.
Healius Dental is trialling a new service in SwiftQ Dental which
offers five dental treatments for $99 each, to address a need
within the community for affordable and transparent dental
services. It may prove as successful as the IVF offering.
IVF – Adora Fertility
The IVF business model has disrupted the sector and opened
up the opportunity for more Australians to have a family.
Achievements in the period included a rebrand of the business
to Adora Fertility, the licensing and opening of the Craigie clinic
in Perth, WA, and the introduction of new satellite clinics in QLD
and WA. In Melbourne and Sydney, a move of IVF operations
to the new Greensborough day hospital and the recently
opened Surry Hills facility lifted the cap on patient numbers.
Overall the latest Medicare statistics show Adora is the fastest
growing IVF provider in the country. Cycles and revenue
increased around 30% each in FY 2019, while the division
recorded a small loss of $0.5 million due to the investment
in the new clinics. Importantly, on a whole-of-business
view and normalised for start-up costs, IVF contributed
approximately $2.3 million in EBIT to the Group.

Healius Day Hospitals
The five Day Hospitals facilities within the Healius Medical
Centres delivered $13.4 million of revenue in FY 2019 with IVF
volumes continuing to support them. With the established
Day Hospitals profitable, the business overall operated
at a $2.1 million EBIT loss due to the investment in new facilities.
The first phase of the integrated Day Hospitals division will
see Healius facilities branded Montserrat and the adoption
of Montserrat quality and billing systems. Monserrat has
a proven approach to business development, health fund
negotiations, list scheduling and labour management.
Montserrat Day Hospitals
Healius acquired Montserrat, an operator of day hospitals and
haematology/oncology clinics, in October 2018. Three new
hospitals were opened during the year, including the flagship
Westside Private in Brisbane.
Montserrat operates in a sector where improving technology
and on-going cost pressures are moving patients away
from high-cost overnight hospitals into day hospitals. In the
USA, Ambulatory Surgical Centers which perform same-
day outpatient surgical care have grown to well over 5,000
in number and have become an integral part of that country’s
healthcare system. Cancer treatments, cardiology, and
orthopaedic procedures are now projected to grow strongly
in the outpatient setting.
Montserrat’s Westside Private Hospital has equivalent
high-level facilities to the Ambulatory Surgical Centres in the US.
With similar cost drivers and procedural innovation in Australia,
this country is likely to follow its overseas counterparts and seek
to reduce hospital costs and improve clinical outcomes in a day
hospital setting. The interest from private health insurers
in potential new models of care remains strong.
Montserrat provides Healius with a substantial platform
to grow and diversify revenue. It also provides synergies with
IVF and Pathology. This year, Montserrat delivered $19.5 million
of revenue. However with the ramp-up in its new hospitals,
its contribution in the period was $0.6 million. This is expected
to grow strongly in FY 2020.

REVIEW
Imaging
Healius’ Imaging division partners with independent
radiologists who undertake a full range of medical
imaging services including cardiac, neurological,
vascular, musculoskeletal and dental imaging.
$391M
OPERATING REVENUE
In FY 2019, Imaging grew revenue by 7.9% notwithstanding softer market
conditions. Importantly, Imaging increased its market share in the year
supported by existing and new site growth.
EBIT was up by 14.5%, a third successive year of double-digit increases
underpinned by productivity programs delivering targeted improvements.
While unadjusted EBITDA growth was 5.7%, normalised for the impact of new
and replacement equipment operating leases and AASB 15 adoption, it grew
by approximately 12% on FY 2018.
Imaging contributed strongly to the Group’s cash position but also invested
in new sites and technology during the year.
The performance of the division was as follows:

STRATEGY
Growing market share
The division delivered a growth in market share
following the expansion of existing sites and opening
of new high-end sites. It opened Highfields in Port
Macquarie, NSW and redeveloped the St Vincent’s
Private Hospital Northside, in Queensland. Both of these
offer fully-licenced MRI facilities and PET/CT services.
Imaging was granted three other full MRI licences in the
year from the Federal Government.
Imaging was also successful in contract wins and
deployment. Northern Beaches Hospital imaging
services commenced in the year. In June 2019 it
delivered its first positive contribution and is expected
to ramp-up in FY 2020. The Australian Defence Force
Health Services contract in partnership with BUPA
was awarded early in calendar 2019 and successfully
commenced in July 2019.
Efficient, modern infrastructure
iCAR is bringing a new radiology information system
(RIS) and a new picture archiving and communication
solution (PACS) to the division. Over 70 sites are now
live with around 60% of radiologists trained to use
the system and its voice recognition technology.
Conversion is ramping up to around two to three
sites per week. Together, these platforms will deliver
substantial efficiencies and drive revenue uplift by
enhancing the way the division interacts with referrers
and their patients. Net annual benefits are estimated
at $9 million.
Cost control
Further opportunities to improve returns in this
division will be delivered through the current
organisational re-design program and a reduction
in Group overhead charges.

Significant change in the state of affairs
There was no significant change in the state of affairs of the Group during the year.
Principal activities
During the year, the group had three principal continuing activities – pathology, medical centres and imaging – and three
emerging businesses – dental, IVF and day hospitals. Through a unique footprint of centres, the group provides facilities and
support services to independent general practitioners, radiologists and a range of other healthcare professionals, enabling
them in turn to deliver care to their patients in partnership with the Group’s pathologists, nurses and other employees.
Review and results of operations
A review of the operations of the Group during the year, and the results of those operations, appears on pages 22–33 of this Report.
Events after the end of the year
On 29 July 2019, the Group announced the departure of two senior executives, Malcolm Ashcroft (Chief Financial Officer) and
Wesley Lawrence (CEO of Pathology). From 19 August 2019, Maxine Jaquet will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer and
John McKechnie will step in to the role of CEO of Pathology.
Other than the matter described above, there has not been any matter or circumstance which has arisen since the end of the
financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the
Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.
Future developments
Apart from the information provided on the 2019 Outlook on page 19 of this Report, disclosure of information regarding likely
developments in the operations of the Group in future financial years (including the Group’s business strategies) and the expected
results of those operations other than that disclosed in this Report is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.
Accordingly, no further information is included in this Report.
Proceedings on behalf of the Company
There are no proceedings brought or intervened in, or applications to bring or intervene in proceedings, on behalf of Healius
by a member or other person entitled to do so under section 237 of the Corporations Act.
Rounding of amounts
Healius is an entity of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Report) Instrument 2016/191, dated
24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Instrument, amounts in this Report and the Financial Report are rounded off to the
nearest hundred thousand dollars, or where the amount is $500,000 or less, zero in accordance with that Instrument.

During FY 2019, the FY 2018 final dividend of 5.5 cents per share (100% franked) was paid to the holders of fully paid ordinary shares

of any related body corporate, against liability incurred that is permitted to be covered by section 199B of the Corporations Act.
It is a condition of the insurance contract that its limits of indemnity, the nature of the liability indemnified, and the amount of the
premium, not be disclosed.
The Constitution of Healius provides that each officer of Healius must be indemnified by Healius against any liability incurred
by that person in that capacity. However, Healius must not indemnify that person if to do so would be prohibited by section 199A
of the Corporations Act, any other statutory provision, or judge‑made law. Pursuant to this requirement, each Director of Healius
is party to Deeds of Indemnity, Board Papers Inspection and D&O Coverage, which provide for indemnity against liability
as a Director, except to the extent of indemnity under an insurance policy or where prohibited by statute.
Healius has not otherwise, during or since the end of FY 2019, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of Healius
or any related body corporate against a liability as such an officer or auditor.
Past employment with external auditor
There is no person who has acted as an officer of the Group during the year who has previously been a partner at Ernst & Young (EY)
when that firm conducted Healius’ audit.
Non‑audit services
During the year EY performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties as auditor.
The Audit Committee reviews the non‑audit services performed by the auditor on a case‑by‑case basis. In accordance with
advice received from the Audit Committee, the Directors are satisfied that the provision of these non‑audit services by the auditor
(or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence
requirements of the Corporations Act. The Directors are so satisfied because the Audit Committee or its delegate has assessed
each service, having regard to auditor independence requirements of applicable laws, rules and regulations, and concluded
in respect of each non‑audit service or type of non‑audit service that the provision of that service or type of service would not
impair the auditor’s independence.
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act is included in this Report.
Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor of the Group for audit and non‑audit services provided during the year are given
in Note E8 on page 116 of this Report.

Directors’ Report
for the year ended 30 June 2019
Management of safety risks
Healius is committed to ensuring that the health and safety of employees, contractors and all people attending Healius’ facilities
is given the highest priority. Healius’ goal is to continually improve the safety environment for our employees, contractors and
patients. Healius’ Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) performance is constantly monitored through the setting of targets
against which actual performance is measured, and this performance is reported via regular monthly reports being provided
to senior management, monthly WHS Dashboard provided to the Board and quarterly performance reporting to the Board.
WHS is incorporated into business planning, purchasing and contracting policies and the design of workplaces.
In order to improve Healius’ health and safety performance, resources are allocated to the maintenance and improvement of the
WHS management system. Professional health and safety staff work very closely with the Employee Representative Committees
which have been established over a number of years in order to incorporate employee representation and consultation into health
and safety initiatives as well as a forum for disseminating information to improve health and safety across all business units. During
FY 2019 there was a detailed review of the resources devoted to the management of the WHS Systems to ensure resourcing remains
appropriate to the requirements of operations.
Healius recognises our responsibilities to contractors. As part of our health and safety procedures, contractors are required
to provide evidence that they have WHS management systems in place and the Company has monitoring procedures in place
for addressing any health and safety issues that may arise from contractor performance. Workplace induction is provided
to contractors prior to the commencement of any work through our online Contractor Induction Program.
Key health and safety performance indicators are as follows:

For FY 2019, all incidents were investigated and there was no systematic breakdown in the WHS Management System.
Healius has a comprehensive program of health and safety internal audits that are conducted during the course of the year. Audit
findings may be either areas of non conformance with WHS procedures or be areas for improvement. All findings are discussed with
auditees before being finalised. The final reports are presented to senior management and include the findings, recommendations
to address findings, persons responsible for implementation of recommendations and timeframes for implementation.
Training in health and safety is provided to staff at induction to ensure staff perform their duties safely. There is an established
training program that provides regular training, refresher training and information. Further training is provided when specific issues
are identified through regular workplace supervision, hazard reporting and risk assessment.
Healius is engaged in continuous improvement to raise health and safety standards. During the year, there was a comprehensive
review of occupational violence events and a detailed root cause analysis of manual handling incidents. In FY 2020 Healius
is planning a number of strategic projects including a review and possible redesign of the WHS incident reporting process
to enable the capture of a higher level of qualitive data to improve identifiable preventative and risk control strategies. There
will also be a detailed analysis of the current emergency duress systems within our high‑risk workplaces. Strategic projects are
identified through the monitoring of incidents trends, employee feedback and WHS audit findings.
Environmental regulation
The operations of the Group are not subject to any site‑specific environmental licences or permits which would constitute
particular or significant environmental regulation under the laws of the Australian Government or an Australian Territory.
Healius, through its internal policy and processes, is committed to managing operations in an environmentally sustainable manner
to maximise resource efficiency in relation to the consumption of energy and natural resources and minimise waste.
For more information on Healius’ approach to sustainability please refer to page 12 of this Report.

Directors’ Report
for the year ended 30 June 2019
1.
Letter from the Chair of the Nomination and
Remuneration Committee
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of your Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2019
(FY 2019). This report details the remuneration framework and outcomes for Healius’ Key Management Personnel (KMP) in FY 2019.
The remuneration framework aims to ensure that Total Remuneration Packages (TRP) of our executive KMP are linked to shareholder
value. The link is achieved through the variable elements of TRPs with potential STI and LTI awards deemed “at risk” and dependent
upon performance.
Additionally, the remuneration framework takes into account a more holistic view of KMP performance including promulgation
of Company values and risk management. This is done through a balanced scorecard tailored for each KMP.
At a time when consumers are increasingly demanding better ways to access healthcare services, we are striving to create
a substantial improvement in our value proposition to put us at the forefront of healthcare in the Australian community and
deliver sustainable long‑term shareholder returns. As a result, we are in a period of significant strategic change as we invest
in the evolution of our Medical Centres model, in core IT platforms and growth initiatives in our emerging businesses.
We have again produced a simplified Remuneration Report in FY 2019, aiming to make it easy to understand and readable.
It includes a summary of key decisions and outcomes for FY 2019 at section 2 and a non‑statutory table of what each of the
executive KMP was awarded and paid this year at section 5.2. Apart from the information in this report, you can find further
details of Healius’ remuneration framework on our website.
As Chair of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee I thank you for your ongoing support. I hope you will continue to support
us by voting to adopt this Remuneration Report at our upcoming 2019 Annual General Meeting.
Yours sincerely
Arlene Tansey
Independent Non‑executive Director

• Annual review of base pay resulted in no across‑the‑board increases in executive KMP base pay for FY 2019.
Short Term
Incentives (STI)
Long Term
Incentives (LTI)
•
•
•
In FY 2019 the Board decided that no “at risk” STI would be awarded to executive KMP even though the
Group Underlying Net Profit After Tax (UNPAT) target was achieved, as the results were at the bottom of the
adjusted guidance range for the year.
For STI awarded in future years, the Board changed the cash/equity split of STI awards from 75%
cash/25% equity (with half the equity component deferred for one year and half deferred for two years)
to 50% cash/50% equity (with all the equity component deferred for one year).
The FY 2017 LTI plan was tested on 30 June 2019. None of the Performance Rights vested as neither criteria,
being Healius’ relative total shareholder return measured against a comparator group (rTSR) and cumulative
returns on invested capital (ROIC), were met.

Directors’ Report
for the year ended 30 June 2019
3.2
NOTABLE COMPONENTS
Link between Senior Executive remuneration and Company performance
3.2.1
The remuneration of Senior Executives is designed to link executive reward and Company performance. The link is achieved through
the at‑risk pay elements of an executive’s package which represent 50% or more of total remuneration (at Target levels).
Healius’ STI plan is not a guaranteed part of executive KMP remuneration. In FY 2019 the Board decided that no STI would be
awarded even though the Group UNPAT target was achieved, as the results were at the bottom of the adjusted forecast range for
the financial year.
Additionally, no LTI Rights vested in either FY 2018 or FY 2019 relating to the FY 2016 and 2017 years, as the targets for the three‑year
measurement periods were not met for either of these years.
3.2.2 Multi‑year vesting of equity
Rights granted in a given year as part of STI and LTI awards will not vest, if at all, until later. STI equity is deferred for one year and
LTI rights are measured and vest after three years and then only if targets are met. The rolling nature of remuneration payments
encourages Executive retention.

Positive gate for rTSR
3.2.3
In order to align remuneration with shareholder outcomes, a positive TSR gate applies to the vesting of LTIs relating to Healius’
TSR performance against its comparator group. As a consequence, no award can be made if Healius’ TSR over the measurement
period is zero or negative, even if it has performed better than the comparator group.
Clawback provisions for STIs and LTIs
3.2.4
Payments or vesting related to STI and LTI in the prior three financial years are subject to Healius’ clawback policy if it transpires
that they were based on materially incorrect performance information or that actions taken by the relevant Senior Executive
to secure a benefit were, are or will be detrimental to the best interests of Healius.
Stretch performance target for STIs and LTIs
3.2.5
Where a Stretch performance target is included in an STI or LTI assessment criteria, it generally has only 10%–20% probability
of achievement and is intended to equate to exceptional performance. It creates an incentive for Senior Executives to continue
to outperform even when the Target level of performance has been achieved.
The 10–20% probability a Stretch award is particularly important to understand in connection with the issue of LTI Performance
Rights. These are issued at Stretch amounts even though the probability that the full amount will eventually vest is low.
Comparator group for rTSR
3.2.6
The comparator group for the assessment of rTSR vesting conditions was selected from healthcare companies listed on the ASX,
with assistance from external remuneration consultants and using the following broad parameters:
• Be broadly defined to avoid “cherry‑picking”.
• Be large enough to produce valid statistics and small enough to be reasonably specific.
Include direct competitors for capital, talent or market share of comparable scale.
•
•
Include companies from the healthcare sector of comparable scale where direct competitors are not sufficient.
• Be sufficiently liquid to ensure that TSR results are reliable.
• Be balanced in terms of market capitalisation between smaller and larger companies.

some of which may be paid in future periods. It is the sum of columns 5 and 7, and in respect of Malcolm Parmenter in FY 2018
only, the ex gratia payment included in column 13. While the number of Rights granted in FY 2019 under Primary’s LTIP is set
out in section 6.1 of this report, the value of vested Rights (if any) relating to the FY 2019 LTI award will not be known until
the measurement period ends at the close of FY 2021 and the applicable performance criteria are tested. Consequently,
no amount is included in this table for FY 2019 LTI.
2 Column 15 is the total remuneration received during FY 2019 by the relevant KMP (with FY 2018 comparison), some of which
relates to past periods. It is the sum of columns 5, 9, 10, 12 and 13. Where part of these amounts involve the valuation of vested
Rights, the dollar value is calculated based on the closing share price on the day that shares are issued for the vested Rights.

Healius – Annual Report 2019
49
Directors’ Report
for the year ended 30 June 2019
EXECUTIVE KMP – BASE PACKAGE OUTCOMES FOR FY 2019
4.3
The annual review of pay resulted in no across‑the‑board increases in executive KMP base pay for FY 2019.
EXECUTIVE KMP – STI OPPORTUNITY AND RATIONALE FOR FY 2019 AND FY 2019 OUTCOMES
4.4
Healius’ STI plan is considered to be at‑risk remuneration and is not a guaranteed part of executive KMP remuneration.
In FY 2019 the Board decided that no STI would be awarded even though the Group UNPAT target was achieved, as the result was
at the bottom of the adjusted forecast range for the financial year.
The outline of the current STI plan, including the 2018 balanced scorecards for each Executive KMP, were set out in the 2018 Annual
Report. As no STI remuneration was awarded to executive KMP for FY 2019, detailed STI targets, including the balanced scorecards,
are not set out below. They will be reinstated in future Annual Reports if STIs are awarded by the Board.
Executive KMP STI outcomes are measured against an individual’s balanced scorecard which includes financial, non‑financial and
behavioural KPIs, and takes an holistic view of performance, strategic implementation, culture and risk management.
Group and Divisional UNPAT and Group Cash Flow
4.4.1
Group and divisional UNPAT and Group cash flow were selected by the Board as being the most appropriate method of measuring
the Company’s FY 2019 financial performance. These measures typically accounted for around 70% of an executive KMP’s potential
STI award.
As for FY 2018 STI plan, Healius incorporated Threshold, Target and Stretch goals into the UNPAT metrics, in order to incentivise
Senior Executives to continue to achieve once a lower goal had been achieved.
Role specific strategic objectives
4.4.2
Role‑specific strategic objectives ensure KMP are measured and rewarded for initiatives over which they have responsibility, which
contribute directly to the Company’s strategic plan and which aim to deliver increased shareholder value. They are focussed
on specific KPIs that are both measurable and tied directly to the Group’s strategy and they have been set to be sufficiently
challenging to each member of the KMP. These typically accounted for around 30% of an executive KMP’s potential STI award.
Leadership behavioural KPIs
4.4.3
As for the FY 2018 STI plan, Healius’ Purpose, Mission and Values continued to underscore these KPIs in the FY 2019 STI plan. For the
FY 2019 STI plan, leadership behaviours were not ascribed a specific percentage of an executive KMP’s STI award, but rather were
a modifier for the whole STI award. This included the Board’s retained discretion (not exercised) to modify an otherwise 100% award
to zero in the case of poor leadership behaviours.
4.5
EXECUTIVE KMP – LTI OPPORTUNITY FOR FY 2019 AND RATIONALE
Measurement period for 2019
4.5.1
LTI awards relating to FY 2019 will be made after a three year measurement period starting on 1 July 2018 and ending on 30 June 2021.
Healius issues Performance Rights for LTI awards. These Rights will not vest unless and until:
•
•
•
the relevant predetermined measurement period set by the Board ends;
the Company’s performance is assessed against performance criteria; and
the level of vesting is determined by the Board based on the Company’s performance.
rTSR and ROIC criteria for 2019
4.5.2
LTI awards for all executive KMP will be determined based on two equally‑weighted criteria:
•
•
50% based on rTSR; and
50% based on ROIC.
rTSR was selected by the Board to motivate Senior Executives to drive returns which outperform those of comparable companies
and thereby make Healius a superior investment. rTSR is calculated as follows:
TSR
Share price movement + dividends (14‑day Volume Weighted Average Price).
Comparator Group
See table in 8.3.
Linear vesting scale
Nil below Target.
50% at Target, being point at which 50% of comparator group lie below.
100% at Stretch, being point at which 75% of comparator group lie below.
Positive Gate
Nil if Healius’ TSR is zero or negative.
50
Directors’ Report
for the year ended 30 June 2019
ROIC was selected by the Board to motivate Senior Executives to focus on projects which generate strong returns on capital
invested and thereby increase shareholder value. ROIC is calculated as follows:
ROIC
Underlying EBIT as a percentage of average invested capital (net debt plus equity). Calculated
annually and then averaged over the three year measurement period.
Goodwill
Inclusive of goodwill.
Performance criteria
Threshold, Target and Stretch levels set by the Board at the start of the measurement period
using Healius’ budget and cost of capital.
Linear vesting scale
Nil below Threshold.
25% at Threshold.
50% at Target.
100% at Stretch.

EXECUTIVE KMP – SERVICE AND PERFORMANCE RIGHTS AWARDED, VESTED AND LAPSED
DURING FY 2019
All equity awards relating to FY 2019 are made in the form of Rights.
1
Service Rights are used for the equity portion of STI awards and, once issued, are subject to the relevant Senior Executive
remaining employed by Healius for a predetermined period; at the end of which the Service Rights vest and one ordinary share
is issued for each vested Right. 100% of the Service Rights vest after one year. A Service Right is used for the equity portion
of the STI award in order to enable deferral of a portion of the STI award to promote Senior Executive retention.
2 Performance Rights are used for LTI awards and, once issued, are subject to various predetermined performance criteria being
met by the Company over the measurement period. At the end of the measurement period, if the Board determines that the
performance criteria have been met, the Performance Rights vest and one ordinary share is issued for each vested Right. If the
performance criteria have not been met then the Rights lapse and no shares are issued.
Rights are granted for nil monetary consideration and do not have an exercise price.

Award date and fair value per Right calculated in accordance with the principles of AASB 2 Share‑based Payment.
For Rights awarded during the year the vesting date is the first day after the end of the measurement period, which is the first day on which
ordinary shares could be issued once the relevant Rights have vested. For Rights that have vested during the year the vesting date is the actual
date on which ordinary shares were issued for the vested rights.
The FY 2016, FY 2017 and FY 2018 LTI allow for the retesting of Performance Rights, extending the measurement period (and therefore the vesting
date) by one year compared to the dates in the above table. The Board has determined that no retesting will be undertaken in relation to the
FY 2016, FY 2017 or FY 2018 LTI. The FY 2019 LTI does not allow for the retesting of Performance Rights.

Link between Remuneration Outcomes and Financial Performance
5.4.2
The remuneration of Senior Executives is designed to deliver a link between executive reward and Company performance while
balancing current year performance with longer‑term sustained value creation. The link is achieved through the variable pay
elements of an executive’s package which represent 50% or more of total remuneration (at Target levels).
In FY 2019 the Board decided that no STI would be awarded even though the Group UNPAT target was achieved, as the results
was at the bottom of the adjusted forecast range for the financial year.
All of the LTI award potential is currently linked to the longer‑term performance of the Group with half of the award based on rTSR
and half on ROIC. No LTI Rights vested in FY 2018 and FY 2019 relating to the FY 2016 and FY 2017 years, as neither the rTSR nor
ROIC targets for the three‑year measurement periods were met. This reflects the fact that total shareholder returns have not been
positive during this period.

• Healius does not have an equity holding policy applicable to NEDs; the adoption of such a policy remains under consideration
by the Board.
• A NED Equity Plan, under which NEDs would be able to salary sacrifice fees for Shares in the Company, is also under
consideration by the Board. The aim of this Plan would be to assist NEDs in acquiring more Shares in the Company, thereby
increasing NED alignment with shareholders.

If an STIP participant ceases to be an employee of the Healius Group, and the termination of their
employment is in circumstances other than Special Circumstances (defined below), then all unvested
Rights held by the participant will be forfeited and lapse unless and to the extent otherwise
determined by the Board.
If an STIP participant’s termination is in Special Circumstances, then Service Rights granted under the
STIP in the financial year of termination will be forfeited in the same proportion that the remainder
of the financial year bears to the full financial year, unless otherwise determined by the Board.
Service Rights that do not lapse at the termination of employment will continue to be held by
participants with a view to testing for vesting at the end of the relevant measurement period.
Special Circumstances means death, total and permanent disablement as determined by
the Board, retirement with the prior consent of the Board, redundancy, retrenchment or other
Company‑initiated terminations other than for cause.
In the event of a Change of Control (defined below) the Board may in its discretion decide to:
terminate the STIP for the measurement period and pay pro‑rata awards based on the
•
completed proportion of the measurement period and taking into account performance
up to the date of the Change of Control; or
continue the STIP but make interim non‑refundable pro‑rata awards based on the completed
proportion of the measurement period and taking into account performance up to the date
of the Change of Control; or
•
• allow the STIP to continue.

Eligibility
Senior Executives comprising the CEO, other KMP who hold executive roles, other direct reports
to the CEO, and other persons selected by the Board.
Issue of Performance Rights Healius issues a sufficient number of Performance Rights to accommodate the maximum possible
LTI award being a Stretch target award, regardless of how likely or unlikely such an award may be.
Vesting and exercise
of Performance Rights
When a Performance Right (or Services Right) vests, it is automatically exercised, that is, for each
Right that vests, the Company issues one ordinary share to the relevant participant.
Rights do not carry dividend or voting rights.
On vesting or exercise of a Right, the Board may determine in its absolute discretion whether
to deliver the value of the Right in the form of shares (either through a new issue or on‑market
acquisition), cash or a combination of shares and cash.
Each Right will be granted for nil monetary consideration and will not have an exercise price.
No shares acquired by participants on vesting or exercise may be disposed of if to do so would
breach the Company’s share trading policy or insider trading prohibitions. In addition, shares
allocated on vesting of Right may be subject to specified disposal restrictions (as set out in the
terms of the relevant award) which prevent the acquired share being disposed of for a specified
period following acquisition.
If Rights in a tranche have not vested and there is no opportunity for those Rights to vest at a later
date, they will lapse.
Other than in limited circumstances, Rights may not be disposed of, transferred or otherwise dealt
with, and lapse immediately on a purported disposal, transfer or dealing.
Retesting
For FY 2018 and 2019 LTI the Board has determined that no retesting of Performance Rights will
be available.
For FY 2017 LTI retesting of Performance Rights is at the Board’s discretion, however the Board has
exercised its discretion to determine that no such retesting will be undertaken.
Given stakeholder feedback on these provisions, the Board continues to consider whether or not
to retain these retesting provisions as part of the LTI Plan.
