Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

  A MILESTONE YEAR

In this first Annual Report since Oceania 
Healthcare became a listed company, I am 
pleased to report that your Company has 
successfully completed a milestone year. 
From the listing on the New Zealand and 
Australian stock exchanges, the completion 
of 44 apartments at Lady Allum Village, 
to the delivery of forecast returns for our 
new shareholders, this has been a busy and 
rewarding year. 

We have harnessed our diverse portfolio 
of residential care facilities and our 
experienced management to deliver 
financial results for the year ended May  
2017 that are ahead of the Initial Public 
Offering (‘IPO’) forecast published in the 
Company’s March 2017 Product Disclosure 
Statement (‘PDS’). 

The Company has produced reported Net 
Profit After Tax (‘NPAT’) ahead of the IPO 
forecast for the year ended 31 May 2017 of 
$44.9 million. 

Pro forma underlying earnings before 
interest, income tax, depreciation, and 
amortisation* (‘Pro forma Underlying 
EBITDA’) were $45.0 million, also ahead  
of the IPO forecast.

Our primary purpose is to provide 
healthcare and associated services to 
our 3,800 residents. We are proud of the 
quality of care and facilities that our 2,700 
employees provide. Our dedicated focus on 
aged care differentiates Oceania Healthcare 
from its listed competitors which are 
more weighted towards retirement village 
independent and serviced units.

The capital raised by the IPO has enabled 
us to reduce debt, take advantage of our 
momentum and continue a broad range  
of projects.

The intention of the IPO in May 2017 
was to raise capital that would enable 
the Company to implement its strategy 
of being a leading provider of aged care 
rooms while also developing our portfolio 
of retirement village units. In the short 
term, the Company is looking to double its 
number of units and significantly enhance 
its care rooms whilst maintaining a higher 
weighting in aged care than our peers.

We are about to commence aboveground 
development works at Maureen Plowman, 
our Brown’s Bay beachfront development 
village in Auckland and have acquired the 
freehold title at Elderslea Care Facility in 
Upper Hutt that was previously leased. 
Further, we are about to commence Stage 4 
of the development of Meadowbank Village 
in Auckland. These initiatives, along with 
many others that will be rolled out in the 
years ahead, are intended to place Oceania 
Healthcare in an excellent position to 
meet the needs of New Zealand’s elderly, 
particularly as 2021 approaches and the first 
of the ‘baby boomer’ generation celebrate 
their 75th birthdays.

Oceania Healthcare has two revenue 
streams: aged care, and retirement villages. 
A high share of revenue from the aged 
care business is Government funded by 
District Health Boards, providing certainty 
of payment. The retirement village units 
provide revenue from a weekly service fee 
and a deferred management fee (‘DMF’), 

*  Pro forma Underlying EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Underlying NPAT and EBITDA are retirement village industry earnings measures that assist in the comparison 

of Oceania’s performance with its peers. Oceania uses underlying NPAT to monitor financial performance and, in future to determine dividend distributions. It is 
reported in the operating segment note of the audited consolidated financial statements. Underlying measures require a methodology and a number of estimations 
to be approved by Directors in their preparation. Both the methodology and the estimations may differ among companies in the retirement village sector that report 
underlying financial measures. Underlying NPAT is a measure of financial performance and does not represent business cash flow generated during the period. 
A reconciliation of Underlying NPAT and EBITDA to reported NPAT is presented in section 2.1 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements. The pro forma 
adjustments made to reported Underlying EBITDA of Pro forma of $41.3 million relate to transaction and listed company costs of $3.7 million. Refer to page 77  
of the Product Disclosure Statement ('PDS') dated 31 March 2017 for further details.

  MOMENTUM DELIVERING 

RETURNS

With funding now in place and construction 
on track at all three of our current Auckland 
development sites and in Tauranga, and 
with resource consents in place at Hamilton, 
Christchurch and Nelson, we expect the 
business to perform strongly against the 
2018 IPO forecast.

The public listing is now behind us and 
has established a platform for growth. 
The Board and management of Oceania 
Healthcare are firmly focused on exceeding 
our residents’ expectations and expanding 
our business and operational processes to 
meet the growing market. Above all, your 
Board is determined to provide a consistent 
and reliable return on your investment 
in Oceania Healthcare. Thank you for 
investing your trust with us.

Yours sincerely

Elizabeth Coutts 
Chair, Oceania Healthcare Limited

deducted from the resale of units. In addition, 
amounts are also received on issuance of 
new occupation right agreements (‘ORA’) 
which reflect the resale gain of the underlying 
property portfolio held by us.

The new care suite hybrid combines the 
benefit of a premium aged care room with 
daily care fees and the retirement village unit 
ORA. As well as being a superior product for 
residents and their families, the care suite 
funding model has a positive capital impact 
for Oceania, as the Company can recover the 
capital used in the construction of the suite. 
Oceania has plans to complete a further 40 
care suites by the end of FY2018 increasing 
the total to 282 suites in the Company at  
that date.

At the end of FY2017, Oceania had net  
debt of $84.4 million which is below the 
IPO forecast ($98.6 million). Total assets  
at the end of May 2017 were valued at  
$918.2 million compared to $886.2 million  
in the IPO forecast. 

  SHAREHOLDER RETURNS

Oceania Healthcare has established a 
dividend policy with a targeted pay out ratio 
of 50% to 60% of annual underlying NPAT. 
We intend to commence paying dividends 
during the 2018 financial year, with an initial 
interim dividend expected to be paid in 
February 2018.

  OUR PEOPLE

We asked a great deal of our people this 
year to complete a successful Initial Public 
Offering, and they certainly delivered. 
I would like to thank my fellow Directors, 
the Chief Executive and the management 
team for their exemplary contribution to 
the Company.

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Consented development pipeline
Approximately two thirds of our land bank is already 
consented for redevelopment with all of our six key 
strategic sites consented. 

Proven track record of delivery 
We have completed seven redevelopment projects  
since 2011 many of which were in complex brownfield 
locations. 

Considerable embedded value
We have $183.1m embedded value within our existing 
portfolio. In addition, our needs based care business 
generates cash flows that will underpin dividends.

Aged care services are “needs based” 
The growing demand for needs-based aged care services 
is relentless. We have a higher portfolio weighting towards 
aged care and a significantly larger proportion of higher 
acuity care beds than the industry average, which provides 
revenue streams that are resilient against any property 
market volatility.

Stable regulatory environment
A high proportion of our care revenue is government 
funded which increases via annual changes in District 
Health Board aged residential care fees.

More recently the government has also funded the Equal 
Pay settlement for healthcare workers. We are delighted 
for our staff and we are very pleased that the government 
has recognised its role in helping to attract and retain 
healthcare workers as the demand for aged care services 
in New Zealand grows.

New Zealand’s retirement village sector is widely 
considered to be world leading with robust regulations  
to protect residents.

Best practice clinical standards
We have a leading clinical care platform with a strong 
clinical governance framework including a dedicated 
clinical and quality team of senior registered nurses to 
provide expert clinical leadership and support the  
delivery of quality care. 

09

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017 
We are a recognised leader in clinical care and we have  
a clear growth strategy. 

We’re enhancing our care business by building new superior beds that can either be sold under 
occupation right agreements or attract a premium charge. This business model leverages our expertise 
in aged care and generates good commercial returns.

Keeping our  
momentum going.

Following the IPO, the management team at 
Oceania Healthcare is determined to activate 
our strategies and accelerate the delivery of our 
development land bank.

While we have a busy programme of capital works, with 
brownfield site development and new builds underway 
from Auckland to Christchurch, we have not lost sight of 
our core purpose: to provide high quality aged care 
services and retirement facilities in New Zealand.

We recognise that even though there is strong growth 
forecast in the aged care sector, we are in a competitive 
market. Our focus on development is not just on bricks 
and mortar, we are always thinking about and improving 
our core care and health services for our residents. At the 
end of the day, occupancy levels will determine the future 
success of Oceania Healthcare. Occupancy across our 
care beds and suites during FY2017 was 90.4%, while 
occupancy of our village units was 92.3% at the end of 
the year.

Care
In the past financial year we completed the scoping of  
a new clinical information system with implementation 
planned in 2018. In preparation for this, and other 
initiatives, we installed Wifi across all our sites during 2017.

Good quality and nutritious food is of critical importance 
to our residents. Our chefs at each site are challenged 
daily to manage complex dietary considerations for aged 
care residents without compromising on taste, visual 
appeal, and cultural requirements. In July 2016 we 
competed and won the national Senior Lifestyle Cuisine 
Award (for the second year in a row) against other top 
aged care chefs from around the country. In 2015 and 
2016 Oceania Healthcare was awarded the New Zealand 
Aged Care Association’s Award for Overall Excellence  
in Care.

1212

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT

During 2017 we completed a national roll out of a new 
Food Control Plan and all sites were audited, which is 
significantly in advance of the Ministry of Primary 
Industries requirement deadline.

Our people
Our team of 2,700 employees is passionate about 
delivering great care to our 2,600 aged care residents 
and I am very proud of their dedication to help create 
Magic Moments each day for our residents.

I am thrilled that the Government’s Equal Pay settlement 
with $2 billion funding over the next five years for 
healthcare workers recognises the truly wonderful 
contribution our people make to caring for our elderly.

In 2017 we launched a new learning and development 
programme, Step Up. The programme will further 
enhance our clinical capability and will help to develop 
strong leaders within the business.

Caring for the safety of our team is just as important  
to us as caring for our residents. We understand our  
risk profile and with operating safely at the forefront of 
our minds we track a range of indicators. During 2017  
we redesigned our moving and handling training 
programme, introduced new regional safety 
representatives and trialled a new injury management 
process that will now be delivered nationally.

Ageing population growth 
drives development
Oceania Healthcare meets the needs of a rapidly growing 
and ageing market in New Zealand. Our target market for 
aged care, 85 years and older, is expected to triple in the 
next 20 years and the 75 to 84 age group is expected to 
double in the same time period.

This naturally growing market is expected to provide 
significantly increased demand for aged care and 
retirement village facilities.

Oceania will be able to continually fund the development 
of our existing sites and, over time newly acquired 
greenfield sites, through the ORA model for both aged 
care beds and retirement village units which enables 
capital to be recycled into new builds.

“We are confident of 
meeting our targets 
for the upcoming 
financial year.”

Current development work
While Oceania Healthcare has underway an 
unprecedented construction and development 
programme, the management team is confident it  
has the expertise, people and track record to deliver  
the projects. In-house procurement and design 
capability is allowing us to take greater control over 
specification and procurement functions. We are 
managing five development projects in construction  
and overseeing planning and consenting for numerous 
future projects. 

Auckland 

We recently completed construction of a block of 44 
premium apartments at Lady Allum Village, including a 
common area with a restaurant, cinema and large lounge 
to complement the other facilities at this well-respected 
village in Milford. Marketing efforts are in full swing and 
we expect the new apartments to sell down by end of 
May 2018. Further stages of redevelopment are now in 
the pipeline for Lady Allum Village.

Construction is progressing well for Stage 3 at our 
Meadowbank Village consisting of 62 independent living 
apartments with a vast new village community centre 
including bar and dining areas, a library, gymnasium, craft 
room, hair salon and cinema. Very importantly, this stage 
also brings care back to Meadowbank with 30 new care 
suites also being built.

1313

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT

Stage 3 is on track for completion by February 2018 with 
strong pre-sales. We are finalising the fixed price contract 
for Stage 4 consisting of 49 apartments and a further  
32 care suites with construction commencing in 
September 2017. Design has also commenced for  
Stage 5 of Meadowbank. Once Stage 5 is complete the 
village will consist of 187 apartments and 62 care suites. 

region is Green Gables in the heart of Nelson City and 
just a short stroll to the city centre. In January 2017 we 
received resource consent to build 61 new care suites  
and 27 independent living apartments. In February this 
year we successfully relocated our Green Gables care 
residents into two of our other care facilities in Nelson 
and we have recently started demolition works on site.

We have started the earthworks stage on the beachfront 
of Brown’s Bay at our Maureen Plowman site. This 
unrivalled location will feature 64 independent living 
apartments and 44 care suites and is expected to be 
complete in April 2019.

Our third development in Auckland under construction 
comprises 25 new villas at Elmwood Village in The 
Gardens, Manurewa. These villas are being built on 
adjoining land that was acquired in late 2016. Further 
stages of redevelopment are also planned for this village.

Tauranga

In May 2017, we started site preparation works for Stage 
1 construction of 80 new care suites at our Melrose 
Village. The construction contract for this stage was 
awarded in July 2017 and will take around 15 months to 
build (September 2018). Stage 2 including 72 apartments 
and a full community centre including bar, restaurant, 
cinema and lounges will commence at the completion of 
Stage 1. There are five development stages planned for 
this hill-top site commanding panoramic views of 
Tauranga’s harbour and Mt Maunganui.

Hamilton

A resource consent amendment was issued in February 
2017 at Trevellyn which increased the number of care 
suites as part of Stage 1 of this redevelopment site to 90 
beds. We expect construction to begin by February 2018.

Nelson

Christchurch

We reached agreement with our neighbours at 
Windermere Village for the construction of a boutique 
development of 68 apartments and 60 care suites.  
This project is planned to be constructed in two stages 
with the first being the new care facility including café, 
restaurant, salon, lounges and 15 apartments.

Outlook 
Oceania Healthcare has significant commercial 
advantages in a growing and competitive market.  
Our nationwide footprint and established properties  
with co-located aged care and retirement units provide  
a strong platform for growth, we are diversified across the 
aged care and retirement village sector with opportunities 
for innovation being activated, and we have both an 
experienced Board and management team. We have an 
advantage in aged care through a long history of service 
delivery and the IPO has helped us accelerate that further.

We have delivered a financial result that is ahead of our 
IPO forecast. With significant progress being made at our 
key development sites we are well placed to achieve our 
forecast in 2018 and continue to create long term value 
for our shareholders.

Yours sincerely

We have two redevelopment sites in the Nelson region

Our Strategy

Care
Industry supply and demand dynamics have led to 
innovations in the funding model for aged care to 
help address the required growth in bed capacity. 
Oceania was the first New Zealand provider to 
commercialise the care suite model in scale, 
combining the benefits of premium aged care and  
the retirement village ORA funding model. We have 
rolled this model out over the last eight years in 
Auckland and Christchurch, as well as in some 
regional locations. 

Private charging for aged care is now well-established 
in the market, through either premium accommodation 
charges or via the care suite model. With these 

private charging options we can generate good 
commercial returns from new care developments. 
Eden, in Auckland, was our first 100% care suite 
development and has proved its commercial viability.

The care suite model is an integral part of our care 
development strategy to deliver enhanced returns.

As well as care suite development, our care business 
strategies include maximising occupancy through 
continuous improvement in service delivery and 
quality of clinical care; optimising the bed mix  
through needs assessment; increasing revenue 
through premium accommodation charges; and 
driving operational efficiency.

Retirement Village
We have an established and growing retirement 
village operation with 1,054 units across 25 facilities. 
Our growth strategy includes optimising DMF from 
rolling legacy contracts onto new agreements, 
increasing resale margins, providing additional  
resident funded services, and continuing to 
standardise refurbishments.

Retirement Village operation

1,054 units

across 25 facilities

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Developments
We intend to maintain an overall portfolio focus on 
aged care, while optimising capital efficiency by 
increasing the proportion of retirement village units 
and care suites. 

Our strategy is to activate our existing consented 
brownfield development sites (1,072 units over the 
next 5 years), develop our remaining brownfield 
land bank (636 units), and supplement our building 
strategy with opportunistic brownfield and 
greenfield acquisition of sites in complementary 
regions.

How this funding works

Oceania has sufficient capacity in its senior debt 
facilities to fund our existing pipeline at a build rate 
of approximately 200 units per annum.

We have a $175m Revolving Development Facility 
and $60m General Corporate Facility currently drawn 
down to $68.5m and $21.0m respectively. This is all 
backed by development work in progress ('WIP')  
and land.

We have sufficient capacity to fund the existing 
pipeline of 1,708 units/beds at our target build  
rate and also acquire new sites to increase our 
development pipeline.

We’re proud of our brand and our people. They are one and the 
same, embodying Oceania’s everyday values of kindness, passion, 
respect, delivery and excellence. It’s a spirit and attitude that 
characterises our caring culture.

    Kindness: Show compassion and understanding.

    Passion: Believe we make a difference.

    Respect: Everyone matters.

    Deliver: We will do what we say.

    Excellence: Quality in everything we do.

Our Values in Action

Meet Elaine Dingle and Millie 
who are the real life inspiration 
for our ‘Magic Moments’ brand 
campaign. 

Elaine was one of a group of 
residents who went to the 
SPCA, along with Oceania 
therapist Deborah Watts, to 
choose a cat for one of 
Oceania’s rest homes in  
Hawkes Bay.

“I knew Elaine liked cats as she 
used to have one called Pinkie 
and she has Pinkie’s photograph 
in her room,” says Deborah. 
“When I suggested she come 
and help us choose a cat, she 
was the first to put her name on 
the list for the trip.”

“Once we got there it was a 
hard choice to make. We chose 

Millie as she was gentle, and 
Elaine particularly liked her, as 
she looked like a cat Elaine 
used to have, called Tiddlums.” 
Elaine was in a wheelchair after 
a fall at home, which led to a 
hospital stay and then a move 
to a rest home.

“She wasn’t very social or 
inclined to join in,” says 
Deborah. “Elaine wanted to 
spend most of her time in  
her wheelchair, in her room.”  
Two days after adopting the cat, 
Elaine got up and began to 
learn to walk again. “Until then, 
she simply didn’t want to,” says 
Deborah. “Now, with the aid of 
our physiotherapist, she’s 
working hard and she’s really 
motivated. It’s beautiful.”

It’s often the little things that make 
a big diff erence to happiness.

At Oceania, we make it our business 
to discover those little things.

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Kindness

“ …all I saw was kindness, sensitivity, reassurance and 

real empathy, together with consummate professional 
skills, in managing her symptoms. [Later] the nurse 
spoke gently and kindly to Mum and put her arms 
around her; she did not have to do that – it was a 
gesture of empathy and compassion.”

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 May 2017

1.  General Information

1.1.  Basis of Preparation

(i)  Entities Reporting

The consolidated financial statements of the 'Consolidated' or 'Group' entity are for the economic entity 
comprising Oceania Healthcare Limited and its subsidiaries, together 'the Group'. Refer to note 5.5 for details 
of Group structure.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of 
Oceania Healthcare Limited as at 31 May 2017  and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.

The Group owns and operates various rest homes and retirement villages around New Zealand. The Group's 
registered office is Affinity House, 2 Hargreaves Street, St Mary's Bay, Auckland 1011, New Zealand.

The Consolidated entity is designated as a for profit entity for financial reporting purposes. 

(ii)  Statutory Base

Oceania Healthcare Limited is a limited liability company which is domiciled and incorporated in New Zealand. 
It is registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a FMC Reporting Entity in terms of Part 7 of the 
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is also listed on the NZX Main Board (‘NZX’) and the 
Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’) as a foreign exempt listing. The Group financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with the requirements of the NZX and ASX listing rules, and Part 7 of the Financial 
Markets Conduct Act 2013.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally 
Accepted Accounting Practice (‘GAAP’). They comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International 
Financial Reporting Standards (‘NZ IFRS’), International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) and other 
applicable New Zealand Financial Reporting Standards, as appropriate for for-profit entities. The Group  
is a Tier 1 for profit entity in accordance with XRB A1.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Financial 
Reporting Act 2013 and the Companies Act 1993. The Consolidated Balance Sheet has been prepared using 
a liquidity format.

(iii)  Measurement Basis

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the 
revaluation of certain assets and liabilities, including investment properties, property, plant and equipment 
and interest rate swaps.

(iv)  Going Concern Assumption 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

(v)  Key Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS requires the use of certain critical 
accounting estimates. It also requires Management to exercise their judgement in the process of applying 
the Group’s accounting policies.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, 
by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated 
and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are 
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

29

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
For the year ended 31 May 2017

1.1.  Basis of Preparation (Continued)

The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates 
are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in the following notes:

– Fair value of investment property and investment property under development (note 3.1) 

– Classification of accommodation with a care or service offering (notes 3.1 and 3.3) 

– Fair value of freehold land and buildings (note 3.3)

– Revenue recognition of deferred management fee (note 3.2) 

– Recognition of deferred tax (note 5.1)

– Capitalised costs associated with the issue of equity (note 4.1) 

– Costs associated with the Long Term Incentive Plans (note 4.3) 

1.2.  Accounting Policies

Accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to understanding the 
financial statements are provided throughout the notes to these financial statements.

Other relevant policies are provided as follows:

(i)  Principles of Consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is 
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect 
those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which 
control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated. Accounting policies of 
subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.

(ii)  Presentation Currency

These financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars which is the Group’s presentation currency. 
The financial statements are presented in round thousands.

(iii)  Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’)

The Statement of Comprehensive Income and Cash Flow Statements have been prepared so that all 
components are stated exclusive of GST. All items in the Balance Sheet are stated net of GST, with the 
exception of receivables and payables, which include GST invoiced.

(iv)  Comparative Information 

Where a change has been made to the presentation of the financial statements to that used in prior periods, 
comparative figures have been restated accordingly.

The presentation of refundable occupation right agreements (‘ORA’) on the Balance Sheet has been revised 
from the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2016, to align with industry practice, by 
presenting the refunds to residents net of the management fee receivable in accordance with the terms  
of the ORA. The deferred management fee presented separately on the Balance Sheet represents the 
difference between this contractual entitlement and the management fees accrued for revenue recognition 
purposes. Refer to note 3.2 for further details.  

Further, additional disclosure has been made, to that in the audited financial statements for the year ended 
31 May 2016, in relation to the taxation expense and deferred tax liabilities due to a change in approach for 
the recognition of deferred tax on investment properties and re-recognition of tax losses. Refer to note 5.1 
for further details.

30

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017 
 
 
 
(v)  Measurement of Fair Value

The Group classifies its fair value measurement using the fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of 
the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels.

Level 1:  Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:   Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, 

either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3:  Inputs for the asset or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The carrying amount of all financial assets and liabilities is considered to approximate to their fair value.

2.  Operating Performance

2.1.  Operating Segments

The Group's chief operating decision-maker is the Board of Directors.

The operating segments have been determined based on the information reviewed by the Board of Directors 
for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The assets and liabilities of the Group 
are reported to the chief operating decision-maker in total and are not allocated by operating segment.

Reporting Segment 

Description

Care Operations 

Village Operations 

Other 

 Includes all revenue and facility-level expenses associated with the provision 
of care and related services to Oceania’s aged care and retirement village 
residents, including the deferred management fee ('DMF') and operating 
expenses associated with care suites.

 The Group derives care fee revenue in respect of eligible Government 
subsidised aged care residents as well as private contributions from residents. 
Aged care subsidies received from the Ministry of Health, included in rest home, 
hospital and dementia fee revenue, amounted to $96.9m (2016:$101.1m).

 Includes the DMF on the Group’s retirement village units, weekly service fees, 
retirement village operating expenses, and, in respect of underlying measures, 
the realised gains on resales and the development margins from the sale of 
both units and care suites.

 Includes Support Office and corporate expenses, operating lease costs 
relating to the Group’s three leasehold sites, and the impacts of any 
extraordinary or one-off transactions. In addition, income and expenditure 
relating to the Wesley Training Institute is recognised in this segment.

There is a degree of integration between the care and village operations. This includes the provision of 
services such as meals and care packages by care operations to village residents. Inter-segment pricing is 
determined at arm’s length.

Information regarding the operations of each reportable segment is included below. Amongst other criteria, 
performance is measured based on segmental underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and 
amortisation (‘underlying EBITDA’); being the most relevant measure in evaluating the performance of 
segments relative to other entities that operate within the aged care and retirement village industries.   

31

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017 
Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
For the year ended 31 May 2017

2.1.  Operating Segments (Continued)

Additional segmental reporting information

Capital Expenditure: Refer to notes 3.1 and 3.3 for details on capital expenditure. Chattels, freehold land  
and buildings, including related property held for development, classified as property, plant and  
equipment principally relate to care operations. Investment property assets principally relate to village 
operations. Capital expenditure on intangibles and other property, plant and equipment are unallocated  
to these segments. 

Goodwill: Goodwill is allocated to Care and Village Cash Generating Units. Refer to note 5.2 for 
further details.

Underlying NPAT: Underlying NPAT is a non-GAAP measure used by the Group to monitor financial performance 
and, in future, determine dividend distributions. It is reported in the operating segment note of the audited 
consolidated financial statements. Underlying measures require a methodology and a number of estimations 
to be approved by Directors in their preparation. Both the methodology and the estimations may differ among 
companies in the retirement village sector that report underlying financial measures. Underlying NPAT is a 
measure of financial performance and does not represent business cash flow generated during the period.

Oceania calculates Underlying NPAT by making the following adjustments to reported NPAT:

–   Removing the change in fair value of investment properties and the impairment of property, plant and 

equipment (from the Statement of Comprehensive Income);  

–  Removing any impairment of goodwill;

–  Removing any loss on disposal of chattels from the decommissioning of development sites;

–   Adding back the Directors’ estimate of realised gains on ORA units and care suites1;

–   Adding back the Directors’ estimate of realised development margin on the cash settlement of the first 
sale of new ORA units or care suites following the development, or conversion of an existing care bed  
to a care site or conversion of a rental unit to an ORA unit; and

–   Adding back the deferred taxation component of taxation expense so that only current tax expense 

is reflected.

Resale Gain

The Directors’ estimate of realised gains on resales of ORA is calculated as the net cash flow received by the 
Group on the cash settlement of the resale of pre-existing ORAs (i.e. the difference between the ORA licence 
payment received from the incoming resident and the ORA licence payment previously received from the 
outgoing resident).

1  Units and care suites sold under an occupation right agreement.

32

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Development Margin

The Directors’ estimate of realised development margin is calculated as the cash received on settlement of 
the first sale of new ORA units and care suites less the development costs associated with developing the 
ORA units and care suites. The development costs include:

–   Construction costs directly attributable to the relevant project, including any required infrastructure  
(e.g. roading) and amenities related to the units (e.g. landscaping) as well as any demolition and site 
preparation costs associated with the project. The costs are apportioned between the ORA units and  
care suites, in aggregate, using estimates provided by the project quantity surveyor. The construction 
costs for the individual ORA units or care suites sold are determined on a pro rated basis using gross  
floor areas of the ORA units and care suites;

–   An apportionment of land valued based on the gross floor area of the ORA units and care suites 

developed. The value for Brownfield2 development land is the estimated fair value of land at the time 
a change of use occurred3 (from operating as a care facility or retirement village to a development site), as 
assessed by an external independent valuer. Greenfield4 development land is valued at historical cost; and

–   Capitalised interest costs to the date of project completion apportioned using the gross floor area of ORA 

units and care suites developed.

Development costs do not include:

–   Construction, land (apportioned on a gross floor area basis) and interest costs associated with common 

areas and amenities or any operational or administrative areas.

The Directors’ estimate of development margin for conversions is calculated based on the difference 
between the ORA licence payment received on the settlement of sales of newly converted ORA units and 
care suites and the associated conversion costs. Conversion costs comprise:

–   In the case of conversion of care beds to care suites, the actual refurbishment costs incurred; and

–   In the case of conversions of rental units to ORA units, the actual refurbishment costs incurred and the 

fair value of the rental unit prior to conversion.

2  Brownfield land refers to land previously utilised by, or part of, an operational aged care facility or retirement village.

3   The timing of a change of use is a Directors’ estimate. It is based on a range of factors including evidence of steps taken to secure a resource 
consent and/or building consent for a particular development or stage of a development and the decommissioning of existing operations 
(either through the buy-back of existing village ORA units or decommissioning of an existing care facility). Note the cost of buybacks is not 
included in the development cost as an independent fair value of the land on an unencumbered basis is used as the value ascribed to the 
development land.

4   Greenfield land refers to land not previously utilised by, or as part of, an operational aged care facility or retirement village. Greenfield land is 

typically bare (undeveloped) land at the time of purchase.

2.2.  Operating Revenue

Accounting Policy

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group 
and the amount can be measured reliably.

Deferred Management Fees

Deferred management fees are payable by residents of the Group's units, apartments and care suites under 
the terms of their occupation rights agreement or unit title rights.

Management fees are typically payable up to a maximum percentage of a resident's occupation licence or 
unit title rights deposit for the right to share in the use and enjoyment of common facilities.

The timing of the recognition of deferred management fees is a critical accounting estimate and judgement. 
The deferred management fee is recognised on a straight-line basis over the greater of the term specified 
in a resident's ORA or the average expected occupancy for the relevant accommodation. This has been 
assessed as 7 years for units, 5 years for apartments and 3 years for care suites. Estimates applied for 
deferred management fee tenure are reviewed periodically. Where a change in estimate is required it is 
the Group’s policy to recognise the aggregate impact of this change in the period in which the change in 
estimate occurs.

Rest Home, Hospital and Dementia Service Fees

Rest home, hospital and dementia service fees are recognised in the accounting period in which the services 
are rendered. Where applicable these are recognised net of any associated rebates to residents.

Village Service Fees

Village service fees are charged to residents to recover village operating costs. These fees are recognised 
as revenue when the associated services are provided to residents. 

Rental Income

Rental income is recognised on an accruals basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements.

3.1. 

Investment Property

Accounting Policy

Investment property includes both freehold land and buildings and land and buildings under development, 
comprising independent units, certain care suites, serviced apartments and common facilities, provided 
for use by residents under the terms of an ORA. Investment property is held for long-term yields and is not 
occupied by the Group.

The fair value of investment property is determined by a qualified independent external valuer using a 
discounted cash flow model. As required by NZ IAS 40 ‘Investment Property‘, the fair value as determined  
by the independent valuer is adjusted for assets and liabilities already recognised in the Balance Sheet which 
are also reflected in the discounted cash flow model. The movement in the carrying value of investment 
property, net of additions, transfers and disposals is recognised as a fair value movement in the Statement 
of Comprehensive Income.

Fair value measurement on property under development is only applied if the fair value is considered to be 
reliably measurable. Where the fair value of a property under development can be determined it is carried at 
fair value. Where the fair value of investment property under construction cannot be reliably determined the 
value is considered to be the fair value of the land plus the cost of work undertaken.

Valuation Process and Key Inputs

The Group's interest in all completed investment property was valued on 31 May 2017 by CBRE Limited 
(2016: CBRE Limited), independent registered valuers and associates of the New Zealand Institute of Valuers, 
at a total of $252.7m (2016: $189.6m). 

The fair value of completed investment property is based on an industry accepted valuation model applied 
to the expected future cash flows to derive a net present value.   

The valuation calculates the expected cash flows for a projected sequence of sales based on recycle 
profiling using a Monte Carlo simulation and a stabilised occupancy term for residents. The analysis includes 
significant unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value, as disclosed below. 

The CBRE Limited valuation is reviewed by management for accuracy of inputs and reasonableness of 
assumptions.

Investment Property under Development

The Group has applied the following methodology in relation to the measurement of investment property 
under development:

Practical completion not achieved

Where the development still requires substantial work such that practical completion is not going to be 
achieved, and a reliable estimate of fair value cannot be made, at or close to balance date, the fair value 
recognised is the fair value of the development land per CBRE Limited valuation plus the cost of any work  
in progress, an amount of $32.2m as at 31 May 2017 (2016: $12.9m), in relation to these development sites.

Where an individual development is of both investment property and freehold buildings in nature, the 
fair value of land is apportioned between investment property under development and freehold land and 
buildings under development, in line with the estimated gross floor area of the development as based on 
information obtained from external Quantity Surveyors at the planning and design stages. Any work in 
progress is allocated in line with the budgeted cost to build.

Practical completion achieved

Where a development is practically completed, or likely to be completed at, or close to, balance date the 
investment property is transferred to completed investment property and measured at its completed fair 
value per CBRE Limited with an adjustment made for any estimated costs, in accordance with the project 
budget, to be incurred to complete the development. 

Completed Investment Property

The Group's interest in all completed investment property was valued by CBRE Limited as at 31 May 2017. 
CBRE Limited is an independent registered valuer and associate of the New Zealand Institute of Valuers and 
is appropriately qualified with experience of valuing retirement village properties in New Zealand.

40

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Property Specific Assumptions

Seismic and Weather Tightness Assessments

The CBRE Limited valuation, and accordingly the fair value of investment property, incorporates the findings 
of independent seismic strength engineering assessments conducted by MSC Consulting Group Ltd (‘MSC’), 
based on visual inspections and by applying the guidelines recommended by the New Zealand Society 
for Earthquake Engineering. The CBRE Limited valuation also incorporates the estimated costs to address 
weather tightness at certain sites based on estimates provided by building condition reports completed by 
CoveKinloch New Zealand Limited in February 2017.

Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Introduction

All investment properties have been determined to be Level 3 (2016: Level 3) in the fair value hierarchy as 
the fair value is determined using inputs that are unobservable.   

Classification of Accommodation with a Care or Service Offering

Where services are provided to residents who occupy accommodation under an ORA it is the Group’s policy 
to look at how consequential, or significant, these are in the context of the overall revenue/income derived 
from the accommodation in ascertaining whether the accommodation is land and buildings (referred to as 
property, plant and equipment) or investment property. Whether the level of service provided is significant  
is an area of judgement.

It is the Group’s policy to review sites that provide accommodation that is subject to an ORA and also 
incorporates a provision to receive services on a case by case basis, where this type of accommodation 
is significant in the context of the site’s overall capacity. 

The Group applies the following principles when ascertaining the appropriate accounting treatment to 
be applied:

Scenario 

Consideration of Significance of Cashflows 

Classification 

Additional Services are optional (whether 
or not the unit is certified for Aged Related 
Residential Care (‘ARRC’)).

Services are compulsory but an insignificant 
portion of total revenue from the unit.

Services are compulsory and a significant 
portion of the total revenue derived from  
the unit.

Full ARRC funded care is compulsory for that 
unit/bed.

Qualitatively the business model is the provision 
of retirement accommodation.

Investment 
property

Quantitatively insignificant (a guideline of under 
20% of total revenue is adopted) and qualitatively 
the business model is the provision of retirement 
accommodation.

Investment 
property

Quantitatively significant. Qualitatively the 
business model is the provision of care.

Property, plant 
and equipment

Qualitatively the business model is the provision 
of care. Quantitative assessment not relevant as 
price of accommodation (and therefore deferred 
management fee) does not change overall 
purpose of the accommodation.

The stabilised occupancy period is a key driver of the CBRE valuation. A significant increase/(decrease) in 
the occupancy period would result in a significantly lower/(higher) fair value measurement.

Current ingoing price, for subsequent resales of ORAs, is a key driver of the CBRE valuation. A significant 
increase/(decrease) in the ingoing price would result in a significantly higher/(lower) fair value measurement.

A new resident is charged a refundable occupation licence payment in consideration for the right to occupy 
one of the Group's units, apartments or care suites. On termination of the ORA the licence payment is repaid 
to the exiting resident. The Group has a legal right to set-off any amounts owing to the Group by a resident 
against that resident's licence payment. Such amounts include deferred management fees, recovery of village 
operating costs and recovery of outstanding obligations to the village. 

An amount equal to a capped percentage of the licence payment is charged by the Group as a management 
fee for the right to use and enjoy the common areas of the village. The deferred management fee is payable 
by the resident on termination of the ORA.

The management fee receivable is recognised in accordance with the terms of the resident’s occupation  
right agreement.

The deferred management fee represents the difference between the management fees receivable under 
the occupation right agreement and the portion of the management fee accrued which is recognised on a 
straight-line basis over the greater of the term specified in a resident's occupation right agreement or the 
average expected occupancy for the relevant accommodation i.e. 7 years for units, 5 years for apartments 
and 3 years for care suites (2016: 7 years, 5 years, 3 years).

The management fee recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income represents income earned in 
line with the average expected occupancy i.e. the net of the management fee receivable and the deferred 
management fee for the period.

Included in the obligation to residents is an estimate of the amount expected to be paid to those residents 
whose occupation licence or unit title right allows them to participate in the resale gain of the unit or 
apartment they occupy.

As the refundable occupation licence payment is repayable to the resident upon termination (subject to a 
new ORA being issued to an incoming resident), the fair value is equal to the face value, being the amount 
that can be demanded.

Although the occupation licence payments are refundable to the residents on vacating the unit, apartment 
or care suite or on termination of the licence to occupy or unit title right (subject to new licences or unit title 
rights being issued) average occupancy is estimated to be 7 years for units, 5 years for apartments and 3 
years for care suites based on observed tenure at the Group's villages. It is therefore not expected that the 
full obligation to residents will fall due within one year. 

Based on past experience the expected maturity of the net obligation to residents is as follows:

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 20173.3.  Property, Plant and Equipment

Accounting Policy

Owner-occupied freehold land and buildings are classified as property, plant and equipment. This comprises 
land and buildings operated by the Group for the provision of care services.

Land and buildings are stated at fair value based on annual valuations by external independent valuers. Any 
accumulated depreciation at the date of valuation is eliminated against the gross carrying value of the asset, 
and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. All other property, plant and equipment 
is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to 
the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as 
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the 
Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to 
the Statement of Comprehensive Income during the financial year in which they are incurred.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to asset revaluation 
reserves in shareholder's equity; increases that offset previous decreases taken through the Statement of 
Comprehensive Income are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Decreases that offset 
previous increases of the same asset are charged against other reserves directly in equity; all other decreases 
are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts 
included in reserves are transferred to retained earnings. 

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight line method to allocate 
their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Category

Freehold buildings

Chattels and leasehold improvements

Motor vehicles

Useful Life Range

10 - 50 years

2 - 50 years

5 years

Weighted Average 
Depreciation Rate

3%

20%

22%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each Balance Date. 
No depreciation is charged in the year of sale for all assets other than Buildings in which case depreciation is 
charged to the date of sale.

A property under construction is classified as land and buildings within property, plant and equipment where 
the completed development will be classified as such and as investment property where the completed 
development will be classified as an investment property. Property under construction classified as land 
and buildings under development is carried at fair value and is not depreciated. Fair value measurement on 
property under construction is only applied if the fair value is considered to be reliably measurable. Where 
the fair value of property under construction can not be reliably determinable the value is considered to be 
the fair value of the land plus the cost of work undertaken. 

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying 
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with carrying amount. These are 
included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017 
Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements

All land and buildings have been determined to be Level 3 (2016: Level 3) in the fair value hierarchy as the fair 
value is determined using inputs that are unobservable.

Valuation Process and Key Inputs

The Group's land and buildings and land and buildings under development were revalued on 31 May 2017 by 
independent registered valuers CBRE Limited (2016: CBRE Limited). CBRE Limited are appropriately qualified 
with experience of valuing residential aged care and retirement village properties in New Zealand. 

The valuation comprises land, improvements, chattels and goodwill. The fair value of land and buildings is 
determined by CBRE Limited based on the level of rent able to be generated from the maintainable net cash 
flow of the facility subject to average efficient management. Where a decrease in land and buildings has 
been recognised below original cost this has been recognised directly to the Statement of Comprehensive 
Income. The 31 May 2017 CBRE Limited valuation included $59.1m (2016: $51.6m) of goodwill. There is 
$17.0m (2016: $17.3m) of goodwill recognised on acquisition included in these financial statements as an 
intangible asset.

Total net revaluation gains of $13.0m have been recognised in the current year in respect of land and 
buildings (2016: $6.3m gain). In the current year an impairment of $4.3m (2016: $1.8m) has been recognised 
in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The remaining gain of $17.3m (2016: $8.0m gain) has been 
recognised in the revaluation reserve together with deferred tax of $1.2m (2016: $0.9m decrease). Refer to 
note 5.1 for the tax effects of revaluation.  

When the Group undertakes development of a new site the classification between freehold land buildings 
and investment property is reviewed. For sites with a care facility, including those with care suites, these 
properties are classified as freehold land and buildings. For sites with a retirement village the properties 
are classified as investment property. Refer to note 3.1 for further information, including the principles 
applied by the Group in determining the appropriate apportionment between freehold land, buildings 
and investment property.

The CBRE Limited valuation incorporates the estimated costs to address weather tightness at certain sites 
based on estimates provided by building condition reports completed by CoveKinloch New Zealand Limited 
in February 2017.

Critical Judgements and Estimates in Applying Accounting Policies

(i) Classification of Care Suites

An area of significant judgement is determining the classification of those properties which are operated as 
care suites. Refer note 3.1 for further information.

47

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
For the year ended 31 May 2017

3.3.  Property, Plant and Equipment (Continued)

(ii) Valuation of Freehold Land and Buildings

The valuation approach for the freehold land and buildings is an income capitalisation approach and/or 
discounted cash flow analysis supplemented by the direct comparison approach. The valuation is determined 
by the capitalisation of net cash flow profit/earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and  
rent (‘EBITDAR’) under the assumption a positive cash flow will be generated into perpetuity. Capitalisation 
rates range from 10.0% to 18.5% (2016: 10.0% to 18.73%) with a median value of 13.5% (2016: 13.63%).  
The valuation has been apportioned between land, buildings, chattels / plant and equipment and goodwill 
to determine the fair value of the assets.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Group's portfolio of land and 
buildings is the capitalisation rate applied to earnings. A significant decrease/(increase) in the capitalisation 
rate would result in significantly higher/(lower) fair value measurement.

The Group leases various equipment and motor vehicles under finance lease agreements. The lease terms 
are between 3 and 6 years and have a net book value as at 31 May 2017 of $7.3m (2016: $5.8m).

As at 31 May 2016 the Group leased one care facility (Elderslea) that included contractual rights and 
obligations to purchase the property. At this time the site was recognised as freehold land and buildings 
in property, plant and equipment with a corresponding secured obligation recognised in other borrowings. 
On 31 May 2017 the Group exercised an option to purchase the freehold land and buildings at Elderslea. 
At this time the lease liability was extinguished.

On 27 January 2017, 13,712,002 ordinary shares were issued to Oceania Healthcare Holdings Limited,  
at $1.05 per share. This was to settle a loan from Oceania Healthcare Holdings Limited to Oceania Healthcare 
Limited of $13.4m, and its associated accrued interest, entered into by Oceania Healthcare Limited on  
30 June 2016.

On 5 May 2017, Oceania Healthcare Limited issued 253,164,557 ordinary shares at $0.79 each by way of  
an Initial Public Offering (‘IPO’).

The Company incurred transaction costs of $11.9m, of which $10.7m was paid in the financial year to  
31 May 2017, in relation to the IPO. Of this, $7.5m related to the issue of new shares and has been netted 
against new equity with the remaining balance expensed through the Statement of Comprehensive Income.  

The treatment of transaction costs is a significant assumption. Costs which are directly attributable to the 
issuing of new shares have been netted against equity, including fees paid to Joint Lead Managers and the 
Investigating Accountant. Costs which relate to both the issuing of new shares and listing costs, such as  
legal fees, are apportioned between equity and expense, through the Statement of Comprehensive Income, 
in proportion to the new shares issued as a percentage of total shares.  

 Proceeds of $200m were raised pursuant to the IPO in accordance with the Product Disclosure Statement 
dated 31 March 2017. The proceeds were applied by the Group as follows:

Recognition and Measurement

None of the above issued shares are held by the Company or its subsidiaries with the exception of shares 
issued to OCA Employees Trustee Limited, a subsidiary, on behalf of Oceania employees in relation to a 
Long Term Incentive Plan (‘LTIP’). 

The shares issued for the LTIP are classified as Treasury Shares as the Company has a beneficial interest 
in the shares until the vesting conditions are met. Refer note 4.3. 

Dividends

As outlined in the Product Disclosure Statement no dividend is to be declared for the year ended  
31 May 2017 with the first dividend anticipated to be paid during the 2018 financial year in respect of  
the first half of the 2018 financial year ending 30 November 2017.

Asset Revaluation Reserve

The asset revaluation reserve is used to record the revaluation of freehold land and buildings.  

Interest Rate Swap Reserve

The interest rate swap reserve is used to record gains or losses on instruments used as cash flow hedges.  
The amounts are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when the hedged transaction 
affects profit and loss. Refer note 5.6.

4.2.  Earnings per Share

Basic

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit after tax of the Group by the weighted average 
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 20174.3.  Employee Share Based Payments

(a) Long Term Incentive Plan

The Company operates two LTIPs for certain members of the Senior Management Team (‘the Participants’). 
The vesting of shares depend upon the satisfaction of performance hurdles.

The Group has provided interest free limited recourse loans to fund the acquisition of shares by the 
Participants. In substance the arrangement has been determined as an employee share option. The shares 
are treated as Treasury Shares when issued due to the features of the scheme.

Combined, the two schemes consist of 5,895,329 fully allocated shares, which represents 0.97% of the total 
shares on issue. Of these 3,164,556 are held by OCA Employees Trustee Limited on behalf of the Participants 
with the balance held directly by employees.

The 2,730,772 shares in the 2015 share plan vest equally upon three vesting criteria being achieved as follows: 

Vesting Date

First

Business day after an IPO

Vesting Criteria

IPO of the Company

Second

Business day after FY2017 accounts are released

Non-market earnings based performance hurdle

Third

Business day after FY2017 accounts are released

Total shareholder return hurdle

The 3,164,556 shares in the 2017 share plan vest on the business day after the financial statements for the 
31 May 2020 financial year are released. The vesting criteria is a non-market earnings per share based 
performance hurdle, being the achievement of a minimum Compound Annual Growth Rate of 35.0% per 
annum in Underlying Earnings per Share over the three year period till vesting date.  

The Participants are required to be employed by the Company at the vesting dates for the shares to vest. 

A valuation of the schemes as at the grant dates has been performed by a qualified independent party using 
a combination of the Black Scholes and Binomial Option Pricing models. The weighted average fair value of 
each option within the 2015 plan was determined at $0.089 at grant date and $0.143 for the 2017 plan. The 
expense is spread over the expected vesting period of the options and is recognised within retained earnings. 

During the year to 31 May 2017, 910,257 shares (or 33.33%) of the 2015 plan have vested and are held directly 
by employees, a portion of which are subject to escrow requirements. These shares were originally issued at 
$0.52 per share during the 2016 financial year.

Expected volatility was determined by assessing the historical volatility of comparable companies in 
New Zealand and Australia. 

As at 31 May 2017 it has been assumed that Participants will remain employed with the Group and that 
the earnings based performance hurdles will be met. Dividend assumptions are based on forecast dividend 
payments over the vesting period. Any dividend payments during the vesting period are applied to the 
outstanding balance of the loan.

The combined cost for the year is $0.1m (2016: $0.1m) giving a total cost to date of $0.2m (2016: $0.1m).

4.4.  Borrowings

Accounting Policy

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, including transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) 
and the redemption amount is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the period of 
the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying 
assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended 
use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such a time as the assets are substantially ready for 
their intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in 
the period in which they are incurred.

(i) Bank Loans

Under the Group’s senior debt facilities prior to the IPO, interest on loans and advances was charged using 
the BKBM Bill rate plus a margin. Interest is now charged using the BKBM Bill rate plus a margin and line fees. 
Interest rates applicable in the year to 31 May 2017 ranged from 3.61% to 5.97% (2016: 5.84% to 6.89%). 

Contemporaneous with the IPO, the Group’s existing bank debt was refinanced. At this time new financing 
arrangements were entered into with a maturity date of 5 May 2020.

The Group’s revolving Development Facility is utilised to cover costs associated with current development 
projects. The revolving General Corporate Facility represents corporate debt supported by the cash flows of 
the business as well as development land.

Interest on the General Corporate Facility is typically payable quarterly. Interest on the Development Facility 
is capitalised and repaid together with principal using the ORA licence proceeds received upon settlement 
of initial sales of newly developed units and care suites. Line fees are payable quarterly on the committed 
General Corporate Facility and the Committed Development Facility.

The Financial Covenants that the Group must comply with, tested half yearly include:

a) 

b) 

Interest Cover Ratio – the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Interest Charges is not less than 1.75x; and

 Loan to Value Ratio – the ratio of total bank debt shall not exceed 50% of the total property value  
of all Group’s properties (including the ‘as-complete’ valuations for projects funded under the 
Development Facility).

Assets Pledged as Security

The bank loans of the Group are secured by mortgages over the Group’s care facility freehold land and 
buildings and rank second behind the Statutory Supervisors where the land and buildings are classified as 
investment property and investment property under development. There was no material change to security 
arrangements as a result of the refinance.

The tax expense or benefit for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 
calculation of profit for the year in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that  
it relates to items recognised in Other Comprehensive Income. In this case the tax is also recognised in  
Other Comprehensive Income.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted at the year end. 
The Directors periodically evaluate positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which 
applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation.

Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the 
tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred 
income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other 
than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit 
or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially 
enacted by the Balance Sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is 
realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will 
be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Key Accounting Judgements

(i) Deferred Tax on Investment Property

A change in the approach for the recognition of deferred tax on investment property has been applied 
from 1 June 2016. Previously, deferred tax in relation to investment property assets has been recognised on 
the basis of the asset value being realised through sale (‘Held for Sale’). From 1 June 2016 deferred tax on 
investment property is assessed on the basis that the asset value will be realised through use (‘Held for Use’).  
This is a key area of judgement and represents a change in estimate from 1 June 2016.    

NZ IAS 12 ‘Income Taxes’ provides that there is a rebuttable presumption that investment property measured 
at fair value under NZ IAS 40 is recovered entirely 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. 

Due to changes in the objectives of the Group’s business model, the Group has rebutted the presumption  
as the Held for Use methodology more appropriately represents the Group’s current business model.  
The Group’s current business model is to be a long term operator of a large scale portfolio of integrated 
care facilities and villages and consume substantially all of the economic benefits of its investment property 
through operating the existing villages and/or redeveloping these villages over time. Furthermore, the 
objective of the current business model is not to sell investment property sites. 

In calculating deferred tax under the Held for Use methodology, the Group has made significant judgements 
to determine taxable temporary differences. The carrying value of the Group’s investment property is 
determined on a discounted cash flow basis and includes cash flows that are both taxable and non-taxable 
in the future. The Group has recognised deferred tax on the cash flows with a future tax consequence being 
DMF as provided by CBRE Limited, to the extent that it arises from depreciable components (i.e. buildings)  
of the investment property. The Group uses the council rateable valuations to estimate the apportionment  
of cash flows arising from the depreciable (i.e. buildings) and non-depreciable components (i.e. land). 

An initial recognition exemption has been applied to newly developed village sites in accordance with NZ IAS 12.

56

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017As a result of applying the Held for Use methodology, the deferred tax liability recognised on investment 
property as at 31 May 2017 has increased to $12.2m. This compares to $2.4m, had the Held for Sale 
methodology continued to be applied.

The Group considered whether deferred tax should be recognised on the basis that the DMF is received at 
the end of the ORA period (i.e. upon refund of the ORA deposit by way of set off on exit by a resident) or 
at the beginning of the ORA period (i.e. at time of the receipt of the ORA deposit). The Group has carefully 
evaluated all the available information and considers it appropriate to recognise and measure deferred 
tax based on the DMF being receivable at the end of the ORA period as this best represents the Group’s 
contractual entitlement. 

The Group’s ORA comprises two gross cash flows (being an ORA deposit upon entering the unit and the 
refund of this deposit upon exit) that are non-taxable and need to be excluded to determine the taxable 
temporary differences arising on investment properties. Contractually, management fees are received  
upon refund of the ORA deposit by way of set off on exit of a unit by a resident. 

Should the DMF be treated as received at the beginning of the ORA period an additional deferred tax 
liability of $3.1m (2016: $1.8m) would be recognised on the Balance Sheet. An additional current year tax 
expense of $3.1m (2016: $1.8m) and a corresponding reduction in net profit after tax of $3.1m (2016: $1.8m) 
would also be recognised.   

(ii) Recognition of Tax Losses

Up until 31 May 2015 the Company and its subsidiaries were members of a Tax Consolidated Group together 
with the Company’s parent company, Oceania Healthcare Holdings Limited ('OHHL'). The issuance of shares 
to the executive members participating in the Long Term Incentive Plan in November 2015 triggered the 
Company and its subsidiaries’ exit from the tax consolidated group as the Company, and its subsidiaries, 
no longer met the Tax Consolidated Group eligibility criteria of being in a wholly-owned group. The impact 
of this is that all tax losses incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries until 31 May 2015 remain within the 
Tax Consolidated Group (of which OHHL is the sole member). These losses can be utilised by the Company 
and its subsidiaries by way of a group loss offset so long as a minimum of 66% common shareholding is 
maintained in Oceania Healthcare Limited. 

The Group had not recognised any tax losses since the year ended 31 May 2014 in the Balance Sheet as, in 
prior reporting periods, the Directors considered it would not be probable that the Group would utilise the 
tax losses prior to any change of shareholding continuity. Relevant disclosures were made in the respective 
financial statements. 

After completing the IPO and following consideration of the Group’s capital structure and profitability 
forecasts, the Directors consider it appropriate to recognise a portion of the Group’s available tax losses to 
the extent that these are expected to be utilised before any breach of shareholding continuity, from a change 
in shareholding or other means of restructure, in accordance with NZ IAS 12.

The Group entered into a tax loss offset agreement with its parent company, OHHL, to offset the taxable 
income generated by Oceania Village Company Limited ('OVCL'), a subsidiary of the Company, for the 
year ended 31 May 2016 for $27.5m. Following the loss offset of the OVCL taxable income with OHHL 
losses, and losses generated in the May 2017 year, the Group will have $42.5m (31 May 2016: $34.0m) of 
available tax losses at 31 May 2017. Based on the Group’s forecast profit prior to any breach of shareholding 
continuity, $8.4m of these losses are expected to be utilised against the future taxable profits of the Group.  
Accordingly, $2.3m (28% of the $8.4m) has been recognised as a deferred tax asset in respect of the 
available tax losses as at 31 May 2017.  

(iii) Shared Resale Gains 

The Group has revisited the tax filing position to recognise a deduction on a realisation basis for the capital 
gains paid out to residents on exit. This has resulted in a deferred tax asset of $1.9m. 

(iv) Update of 30 November 2016 Comparatives

In estimating the income tax expense and deferred tax liability in the interim period to 30 November 2016, 
certain assets were classified incorrectly as depreciable for tax purposes. As a result the deferred tax 
liability as at 30 November 2016 and, consequently, the income tax expense for the interim period  
ended 30 November 2016 were understated by $4.1m. There is no cash impact in the interim period  
to 30 November 2016. There was also no impact on the annual financial statements for the year ended  
31 May 2016. The classification has been corrected in the estimation of the income tax expense and  
deferred tax liability in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2017.

Intangible Assets 

Accounting Policy

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net 
identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary or business at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortised. 
Instead, goodwill is tested two times each financial year for impairment, at 30 November and at 31 May, and 
carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity or cash 
generating unit (‘CGU’) include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity or CGU sold. Goodwill 
is allocated to CGUs and these CGUs are grouped where appropriate for the purpose of impairment testing. 
The allocation is made to those CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business 
combination in which the goodwill arose.

Computer Software

Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. 
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to 
use the specified software. These costs are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives 
(2.5 years).

Impairment Test for Goodwill

The carrying value of goodwill has been assessed on a site by site basis taking into account the site's results 
as a whole for both the care and village CGUs.

The carrying amount of goodwill at each site is not significant in comparison to the total amount of goodwill. 
All goodwill is allocated to the care CGUs.

Key Judgements in Applying the Accounting Policies

Care CGU's Recoverable Amount

The recoverable amount of the individual care sites has been determined based on an external valuation 
of fair value less costs to sell by CBRE Limited as an external valuer. The fair value less costs to sell is 
considered level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. This has been used for comparison to current carrying value. 
The assumptions used in determining the fair value for care facilities are disclosed in note 3.3. Reasonable 
possible movements in the capitalisation rates have been considered to have no material impact on the 
carrying value of goodwill.

5.3.  Trade and Other Receivables

Accounting Policy

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are 
recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less 
a provision for impairment.

5.3.  Trade and Other Receivables (Continued)

Recognition, Measurement and Critical Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an on-going basis. Debts which are known to be 
uncollectable are written off to the Statement of Comprehensive Income within other expenses. A provision 
for doubtful receivables is established where there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able 
to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. In making this judgement, 
significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial 
reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is 
impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present 
value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate.

When a trade receivable is uncollectable it is written off against the provision for trade receivables. 
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the 
Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The ageing of these receivables is as follows:

5.4.  Trade and Other Payables

Accounting Policy

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the 
end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of 
recognition and as such are presented as current in the Balance Sheet.

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Sundry payables include $0.1m (2016: $0.3m) relating to cash held on behalf of residents. 

Wages and Salaries, Annual Leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave are recognised in other 
payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts 
expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

The liability for employee entitlements is carried at the present value of the estimated future cash flow.

60

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Long Service Leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the 
present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to 
the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee 
departures and periods of service.

5.6.  Financial Risk Management

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risks (including cash flow interest 
rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the 
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial 
performance of the Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap 
contracts to hedge certain interest rate risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, 
i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The Group uses different methods to measure different 
types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rates to 
determine market risk and aging analysis for credit risk.

Risk management is carried out centrally by Management under policies approved by the Board of 
Directors. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering 
specific areas, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative 
financial instruments.

(a)  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.

(b)  Cash Flow and Fair Value Interest Rate Risk

The Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, as such the Group's income is substantially independent 
of changes in market interest rates. 

The Group's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose 
the Group to cash flow interest rate risk.  The cash flow and interest rate risks are monitored by the Board  
on a monthly basis. The Board monitors the existing interest rate profile with reference to the Group’s 
Treasury Policy and the Group’s underlying interest rate exposure. Management present interest rate  
hedging analysis and strategies to the Board for consideration and seek Board approval prior to entering  
into any interest rate swaps.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is managed by seeking to obtain the most competitive rate of 
interest at all times. It is the Group's policy to manage the cash flow interest rate risk through the use of 
interest rate swaps to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating rate long term debt. 
The objective of the interest rate swaps is to protect the Group from the impact to cash flows which arises 
out of variability in floating interest rates. 

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. 

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 other expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 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 the hedging instruments are recognised in the Statement of 
Comprehensive Income.  

Under the interest rate swap agreements, the Group has a right to receive interest at variable rates and an 
obligation to pay interest at fixed rates. At 31 May 2017, the Group had interest rate swap agreements in 
place with a total notional principal amount of $100.0 million (2016: $178.5 million). Of the interest rate swaps 
in place, at 31 May 2017, $100.0 million (2016: $178.5 million) are being used to cover approximately 111% 
(2016: 74%) of the loan principal outstanding. The current swaps were entered into on 29 November 2016 
prior to the IPO and the repayment of debt that occurred at this time. The notional principal of $100.0m was 
determined in accordance with the Group's Treasury Policy based on the Group's forecast medium term debt 
exposure. The ratio of notional principal to drawn bank debt as at 31 May 2017, i.e. over 100%, will reduce 
below 100% over the course of the 2018 financial year as drawings on the Development Facility increase to 
fund work in progress. These agreements effectively change the Group’s interest exposure on the principal 
covered by the interest rate swaps from a floating rate to fixed rate. Bank loans of the Group currently bear 
an average fixed interest rate (including margin and line fees) of 4.1% (2016: 5.97%). The fair value of these 
agreements at 31 May 2017 is $0.3m liability. The agreements cover notional amounts for a term of 2.5 years.

 Financial Risk Management (Continued)

(c)  Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks 
and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure from trade and other receivables.

In the normal course of business, the Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group 
requires settlement of the ORA before allowing occupation of its villas or apartments. Therefore, the Group 
does not face significant credit risk. The values attached to each financial asset in the Balance Sheet represent 
the maximum credit risk. Except as disclosed in the financial statements, no collateral is held with respect to 
any financial assets. The Group enters into financial instruments with various counterparties in accordance 
with established limits as to credit rating and dollar limits and does not require collateral or other security to 
support the financial instruments.

Concentrations

Cash and cash equivalents of the Group are deposited with one of the major trading banks.  
Non-performance of obligations by the bank is not expected due to the credit rating of the counter party 
considered. The Standard and Poors credit rating of the counter party as at 31 May 2017 is AA-.

The Group receivables represent distinct trading relationships with each of the residents. There are no 
concentrations of credit risk with residents. The only large receivables relate to the residential care subsidies 
which are received in aggregate via the various District Health Boards and Work and Income New Zealand. 
Neither of these entities has demonstrated, or is considered, a credit risk.

(d)  Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the 
availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close-out 
market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Directors aim at maintaining 
flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.

Cash flow forecasting is regularly performed by management. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the 
Group's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs, while maintaining 
headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach 
borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the 
Group's debt financing plans and covenant compliance.

The table below shows the maturity analysis of the Group's contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(e)  Capital Risk Management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going 
concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain 
an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The financial statements are prepared on a going 
concern basis.

5.7. 

 Changes in Accounting Policy and Disclosures

(a)  New and amended standards adopted by the Group

No new standards effective as at 1 June 2016 have had a material impact on the financial statements.

(b) 

 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and 
have not been early adopted by the Group

The following relevant standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published 
and are mandatory for the Group's accounting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2017 or later periods, but 
the Group has not early adopted them.

NZ IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). 
The standard addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial 
liabilities. NZ IFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories: those 
measured as at fair value and those measured at amortised cost. The determination is made at initial 
recognition. The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing its financial instruments 
and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains 
most of the NZ IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement requirements. The main change 
is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due 
to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement, 
unless this creates an accounting mismatch. The Group is currently assessing the full impact of NZ IFRS 9 
and has decided to not early adopt this standard.

NZ IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 
January 2018). NZ IFRS 15 addresses recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. It replaces the 
current revenue recognition guidance in NZ IAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and NZ IAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’ and is 
applicable to all entities with revenue. It sets out a 5 step model for revenue recognition to depict the transfer 
of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity 
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Group is currently assessing the full 
impact of NZ IFRS 15 and has decided to not early adopt this standard.

NZ IFRS 16, ‘Leases’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). NZ IFRS 16 sets 
out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The objective 
is to ensure that leases and lessors provide relevant information in a manner that faithfully represents those 
transactions. It replaces the current lease guidance in NZ IAS 17 ‘Leases’, IFRIC 4 ‘Determining whether an 
arrangement contains a lease’, SIC 15 ‘Operating leases – Incentives’ and SIC 27 ‘Evaluating the substance of 
transactions involving the legal form of a lease’. The Group has decided not to early adopt NZ IFRS 16 and is 
currently assessing its full impact. Should the Group decide to early adopt NZ IFRS 16 in a future period,  
NZ IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ must also be adopted.

5.8. 

 Contingencies and Commitments

As at 31 May 2017 the Group had no contingent liabilities or assets (2016: nil).

(a)  Capital Commitments

At 31 May 2017 the Group has a number of commitments to develop and construct certain facilities totalling 
$41.6m (2016: $23.0m) of which $39.5m (2016: $23.0m) relates to development sites.

(b)  Lease Commitments

Finance Leases

Leases where the Group has substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership are classified as finance 
leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease's commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased 
property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. See note 4.4.

On 28 October 2015, subsidiaries of the Group entered into an agreement with a third party to develop 
Everil Orr, an existing leasehold care site. The site will continue to operate as a leasehold care site and after 
development will also perform village operations. This transaction does not impact on the 31 May 2017 
financial statements as the practical completion date is not certain at this time. Accordingly the Group has 
not valued this finance lease. There are two other sites that are also subject to a development deed with the 
same landlord.

Operating Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are 
classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from 
the lessor) are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the period 
of the lease.

Commitments in relation to operating leases are payable as follows:

$’000

The above mainly relates to land and buildings leased for the purpose of operating healthcare facilities for 
the elderly. The leases vary from 5 year to 30 year terms. Lease rentals are subject to annual increases based 
on Consumer Price Index (‘CPI’) movements. 

(c)  Repairs and Maintenance

There are no significant unrecognised contractual obligations entered into for future repairs and maintenance 
at balance date.

5.9. 

 Events After Balance Date

On 13 July 2017 the Board approved the construction of a new care facility at the Melrose facility at an 
estimated cost of $19.1m (excl GST).

There have been no other significant events after Balance Date.

Commentary

Income was $21.1m ahead of the IPO forecast for the year ended 31 May 2017 due to a larger increase 
in the fair value of investment property ('IP') than forecast ($19.9m). The IPO forecast reflected the half 
year valuations as at 30 November 2016 and assumed no further increase in the current ingoing prices at 
Oceania’s existing villages would be used in the CBRE valuations for 31 May 2017 that derive the fair value 
movements. The actual fair value of Oceania’s IP as at 31 May 2017 was above that as at 30 November 2016 
primarily due to increases in the current ingoing prices achieved by Oceania and, consequently, adopted by 
CBRE Limited in their valuation. 

Expenses were in line with the IPO forecast with the exception of the impairment of property, plant and 
equipment ('PPE'). The IPO forecast reflected the impairment of PPE recorded in the interim accounts to  
30 November 2016 but did not assume any subsequent impairment of PPE for the period to 31 May 2017.  
The actual net revaluation of PPE was $13.0m incorporating a $17.3m increase through the revaluation  
reserve ($16.2m net of tax) offset by an impairment of $4.3m. The principal cause of the variation of the 
impairment of PPE to the IPO forecast was a reduction in the fair value of buildings at Lady Allum of  
$1.8m due to a corresponding increase in the fair value of land (with the overall valuation of land and 
buildings being constant).

Tax expense was $1.0m below the IPO forecast as a result of the change in the treatment of residents share  
of resale gains ($1.9m), discussed in note 5.1, combined with the tax effect of the differences noted above.

Cash was $6.5m above the IPO forecast due to the higher number of new ORA sales at Lady Allum as well  
as the timing of the repayment of the development debt facility (being on the 20th of June 2017 rather than 
contemporaneous with the sale as forecast). 

For the purposes of the modelling of the fair values of PPE and IP for the IPO forecast, all PPE under 
development was aggregated with IP under development. Consequently the variation to the IPO forecast  
for the PPE and IP balances is most appropriately considered collectively, i.e. $879.0m (actual) compared to 
$853.2m (forecast). As outlined above, the variance principally relates to the revaluation of existing village 
and care assets.

The IPO forecast also aggregated the deferred management fee and refundable occupation right agreements 
consistent with the presentation of the FY2016 annual financial statements (refer to section 1.2 (iv)). On a 
consolidated basis the actual balance as at 31 May 2017 of $302.4m is in line with the IPO forecast of $302.6m. 

Borrowings of $95.2m was lower than the IPO forecast ($103.0m) due to a combination of lower development 
capital expenditure than forecast as well as the timing of repayments as outlined above.

Changes to Presentation of IPO forecast cash flow statement

To assist with comparison with the IPO forecast, the following changes in the presentation of the cash flow 
statement per the IPO forecast have been made to align with the audited cash flow statement:

1) 

2) 

3) 

4) 

 Transaction costs of $10.5m have been reclassified from payments to suppliers and employees to 
financing cashflows as a separate line item; 

 Acquisition of the freehold land and buildings at Elderslea of $16.1m has been reclassified from 
repayment of borrowings to payments for PPE; 

 The proceeds from drawdowns and repayments has been presented on a gross basis, whereas the  
IPO forecast presented the net repayment of borrowings made as a result of the IPO as the repayment 
of borrowings; and

 The IPO forecast presented the conversion of the $14.4m of shareholder loans from OHHL to equity  
as a separate repayment of borrowings and proceeds from issue of shares. This was a non-cash 
transaction. Accordingly the IPO forecast has been adjusted to align with the presentation of the 
audited cash flow statement.

Operating cashflow was above the IPO forecast due to lower payments to suppliers.

As outlined above, payments for PPE and IP were estimated in aggregate as payments for IP for the purposes 
of the IPO forecast. The combined variance of $8.0m (note PPE and IP) is due to lower development capital 
expenditure as this was modelled on a ‘straight line’ basis for the IPO forecast with expenditure apportioned 
equally over the construction period.

The net cash inflow from financing is lower than the IPO forecast due to lower than forecast drawings on the 
development debt facility.

and due diligence work in relation to the initial public offering. The provision of these other services has not impaired 
our independence as auditor of the Group.

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Our audit approach

Overview

Materiality

An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial 
statements are free from material misstatement.

Overall Group materiality is $1.7 million, which represents 1% of operating revenue.

Audit scope

We chose operating revenue as the benchmark because, in our view, it is a key financial metric 
used in assessing the performance of the Group and is not as volatile as other profit  
or loss measures.

Key audit
matters

We believe 1% of operating revenue provides a dollar value that would influence the users  
of the consolidated financial statements in assessing the performance of the Group.

We have two key audit matters: 

•  Valuation of investment property and freehold land and buildings

•  Change in deferred tax presumption for investment property 

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. 

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the 
overall Group materiality for the consolidated 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 aggregate on the consolidated 
financial statements as a whole.

Audit scope

We designed our audit by assessing the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements and 
our application of materiality. 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.

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the 
consolidated 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. Given the nature or location of the entities 
comprising the Group we have undertaken all the audit procedures with respect to the Group.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 
consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of 
the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a 
separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Valuation of investment property and freehold 
land and buildings

The Group’s investment property at $611.0 million (refer  
to note 3.1 of the consolidated financial statements)  
and freehold land and buildings (including freehold  
land and buildings under development) at $253.3 million 
(refer to note 3.3 of the consolidated financial statements) 
represent the majority of the Group’s assets as at  
31 May 2017.

The valuations of individual properties were carried  
out by third party valuer, CBRE Limited (the Valuer). 

The valuation processes for investment property and 
freehold land and buildings are described in notes 3.1 
and 3.3 of the consolidated financial statements, 
respectively.

Investment property is recorded in the consolidated 
financial statements at the value determined by the 
Valuer, adjusted for refundable occupation licence 
payments, residents’ share of resale gains and 
management fee receivable which are recognised 
separately on the balance sheet and also reflected in  
the Valuer’s cash flow model. The Group has adopted 
the assessed value determined by the Valuer for 
freehold land and buildings. 

The valuation of the Group’s property portfolio is 
inherently subjective due to, among other factors, the 
individual nature of each property and the expected 
future cash flows for that particular property. 

The existence of significant estimation uncertainty, 
coupled with the fact that only a small percentage 
difference in assumptions on individual properties,  
when aggregated, could result in material differences,  
is why we have given specific audit focus and attention 
to this area. 

External valuations

We read the valuation report for a sample of properties 
and discussed the report with the Valuer. We confirmed 
that the valuation approach for each property was in 
accordance with the relevant accounting standards.

It was evident from our discussions with management 
and the Valuer, and from our review of the valuation 
report that close attention had been paid to each 
property’s individual characteristics, its overall quality, 
geographic location and desirability as a whole.

We assessed the Valuer’s qualifications, expertise and 
their objectivity and we found no evidence that 
suggested that the objectivity of the Valuer in their 
performance of the valuation was compromised. 

We carried out procedures, on a sample basis, to test 
whether property specific information supplied to the 
Valuer by the Group reflected the underlying property 
records held by the Group. For the items tested, the 
information was materially consistent.

Assumptions and estimates

Our work over the assumptions focused on the largest 
properties in the portfolio and those properties where 
the assumptions used and/or year-on-year fair value 
movement suggested a possible outlier compared  
to the rest of the portfolio and the market data for  
the sector. 

We engaged our own in-house valuation expert to 
challenge the work performed by the Valuer and assess 
the reasonableness of the assumptions used based on 
his knowledge gained from reviewing valuations of 
similar properties and known transactions.

No matters arose from this assessment.

Overall valuation estimates

Because of the subjectivity involved in determining 
valuations for individual properties and the existence of 
alternative assumptions and valuation methods, we 
determined a tolerable allowance of +/-5% of the 
individual property value to evaluate the property 
valuations used by management. 

Our audit procedures did not identify any issues that 
would indicate that the valuations adopted by the Group 
were outside an acceptable range. We also considered 
whether or not there was bias in determining individual 
valuations and found no evidence of bias.

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Change in deferred tax presumption for  
investment property 

As disclosed in note 5.1 of the consolidated financial 
statements, the basis for the recognition of deferred tax 
on investment property has changed to “Held for Use” 
due to a change in the objectives of the Group’s 
business model from 1 June 2016. 

In planning and executing the Initial Public Offering  
in May this year, the Group reassessed their business 
model and changed the objectives of holding investment 
property to that of consuming all of the economic 
benefits through use. 

This is a significant judgement exercised by management 
and resulted in a $9.8 million increase in the deferred tax 
liability at 31 May 2017. 

In applying the Held for Use presumption, management 
have made three key assumptions which involve 
significant judgement over:

1.  Determining the amount of taxable cash flows; 

2.  Timing of taxable cash flows; and 

3.  Apportionment of investment property.

The mechanics of applying these assumptions are 
described in note 5.1 of the consolidated financial 
statements.

The change in the basis for recognising deferred tax  
had a significant impact on the consolidated financial 
statements and we have given specific audit focus and 
attention to this area. 

We have discussed with management and the directors 
their assessment of the business model. The business 
model is consistent with their strategic plan and has 
been approved by the board. We have also observed 
that it is consistent with the way the business has been 
run over the past 12 months. The forecast over the 
Prospective Financial Information period also supports 
the change in the model. 

Assumptions 

With respect to the assumptions used in the calculation of 
deferred tax, we engaged our own in-house tax specialist 
and valuation expert to challenge the work performed 
and assess the reasonableness of the assumptions based 
on their knowledge of the tax legislation and other 
accepted approaches in the industry. 

1. Determining the amount of taxable cash flows

We confirmed that the amount of taxable cash flows of 
investment property is based on the same assumptions 
and estimates used in the valuation of investment 
property described above. 

2. Timing of taxable cash flows

We have tested a sample of Occupation Right 
Agreements (ORAs) to check that the Deferred 
Management Fees (DMF) is contractually earned at the 
end of the ORA period. No exceptions were identified. 

3. Apportionment of investment property

For a sample of properties, we agreed the council 
rateable valuations to the council website and 
recalculated the apportionment between land and 
buildings. For the items tested no differences were 
identified.

We also considered whether or not there was bias in 
adopting these assumptions and found no evidence  
of bias.

Information other than the consolidated financial statements and auditor’s report

The Directors are responsible for the annual report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not 
cover the other information included in the annual report and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion on 
the other information. 

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other 
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated 
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 consolidated financial statements

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of the 
consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as the Directors 
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is located at the 
External Reporting Board’s website at: 

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

This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

Who we report to

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we 
might state those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To 
the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company 
and the Company’s shareholders, as a body, for our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed. 

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Indumin Senaratne (Indy Sena).

Corporate Governance Statement

Corporate Governance
Oceania is committed to maintaining the highest standards of governance by implementing best practice structures 
and policies. This Corporate Governance Statement sets out the corporate governance policies, practices and 
processes adopted or followed by Oceania (including the guiding principles, authority, responsibilities, membership 
and operation of the Board of Directors of Oceania) as at 31 May 2017, and has been approved by the Board. 

The best practice principles (and underlying recommendations) which Oceania has had regard to in determining  
its governance approach are the principles set out in the NZX Corporate Governance Code 2017 ('NZX Code').  
The Board’s view is that Oceania’s corporate governance policies, practices and processes generally follow the 
recommendations set by the NZX Code. This Corporate Governance Statement includes disclosure of the extent  
to which Oceania has followed each of the recommendations in the NZX Code (or, if applicable, an explanation  
of why a recommendation was not followed and any alternative practices followed in lieu of the recommendation). 

Oceania also supports the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and 
Recommendations. 

Further information about Oceania’s corporate governance framework (including Oceania’s constitution,  
the Board and Board committee charters, and codes and policies referred to in this section) is available to  
view at www.oceaniahealthcare.co.nz/investor-centre/governance. 

Principle 1 – Code of Ethical Behaviour

Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold management 
accountable for these standards being followed throughout the organisation. 

Code of Values and Conduct and Related Policies

Recommendation 1.1: The Board should document minimum standards of ethical behaviour to which the issuer’s 
Directors and employees are expected to adhere (a code of ethics) and comply with the other requirements of 
Recommendation 1.1 of the NZX Code. 

Oceania expects its Directors, senior managers and employees to maintain the highest standards of honesty, 
integrity and ethical conduct in day to day behaviour and decision making. The Board has adopted a Code of  
Values and Conduct, a Whistleblowing Policy, a Confidentiality Policy, and a Trading in Company Securities Policy,  
all of which are available on Oceania’s website. 

The Code of Values and Conduct applies to all Directors, employees, contractors and consultants and outlines 
Oceania’s expectations about behaviour (including the specific expectations prescribed in the NZX Code), as well  
as the procedure for any breach of the Code. Every new Director, employee, contractor and consultant is required  
to read and understand the Code of Values and Conduct and acknowledge that they have done so. As at the date  
of this Corporate Governance Statement, regular training in respect of the Code of Values and Conduct has not 
commenced but this will be implemented in the following financial year. 

Trading in Company Securities Policy

Recommendation 1.2: An issuer should have a financial product dealing policy which applies to employees  
and Directors.

The Trading in Company Securities Policy sets out Oceania’s requirements for all Directors and employees in  
relation to trading Oceania’s shares. The policy incorporates all trading restraints. Directors and senior managers  
are restricted from trading in shares during 'black out' periods around the balance date and the half year balance 
date, and proposed transactions by Directors or senior managers at any other time require approval. The policy also 
provides that no Directors or employees can trade shares if they are in possession of price sensitive information that 
is not publicly available.

77

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Corporate Governance Statement (Continued)

Principle 2 – Board Composition and Performance

To ensure an effective Board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience  
and perspectives.

The Board is comprised of five Directors with a mix of qualifications, skills and experience appropriate to Oceania’s 
business. The Chair of the Board is elected by the Board each year. The Board schedules a minimum of nine 
meetings each year.  

Board Charter

Recommendation 2.1: The Board of an issuer should operate under a written charter which sets out the roles and 
responsibilities of the Board. The Board charter should clearly distinguish and disclose the respective roles and 
responsibilities of the Board and management.

The Board has adopted a formal Board Charter which sets out the respective role, responsibilities, composition and 
structure of the Board and senior management, and this is available on Oceania’s website. The Board is responsible 
for the strategic direction of Oceania and for supervising the management of the business for the benefit of its 
shareholders. Responsibility for the day to day management of Oceania has been delegated to the Chief Executive 
Officer and the Senior Management Team. The General Counsel & Company Secretary provides company secretarial 
services to the Board. The General Counsel & Company Secretary is accountable to the Board through the Chair. 

Nomination and Appointment of Directors 

Recommendation 2.2 and 2.3: Every issuer should have a procedure for the nomination and appointment of 
Directors to the Board. An issuer should enter into written agreements with each newly appointed Director establishing 
the terms of their appointment.

The Board is responsible for succession planning. The procedure for the nomination and appointment of Directors  
is included in the Board Charter. When considering the appointment of a new Director, the Board will consider the 
skills of the existing Board and any gaps and the Board will undertake appropriate checks as to the candidate’s 
character and experience. Where Oceania determines that a person is an appropriate candidate, shareholders are 
notified of that and are provided with all material information in Oceania’s possession that is relevant to their decision 
on whether or not to elect or re-elect a Director. All new Directors enter into a written agreement with Oceania 
setting out the terms of their appointment. 

Directors

The Board currently comprises five Directors. All of the Directors are non-executive Directors. The Board has considered 
which of its Directors are deemed to be independent for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules and has determined 
that, as at 31 May 2017, three Directors are independent Directors, including the Chair and the Chair of the Audit 
Committee. As at the date of this Annual Report, the Directors are:

three institutional funds that are managed by specialist management companies within the Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets 
division of Macquarie Group Limited. The fund investments are held through various sub trusts. The Trust Company Limited,  
as custodian, holds OHHL shares on behalf of the sub trusts. As Directors of OHHL, each of Patrick McCawe and Hugh FitzSimons  
have the power to control the exercise of the rights attaching to the shares held by OHHL, and the power to control the acquisition  
or disposition of such shares. 

Diversity

Recommendation 2.5: An issuer should have a written Diversity Policy which includes requirements for the Board  
or a relevant committee of the Board to set measurable objectives for achieving diversity (which, at a minimum, 
should address gender diversity) and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s progress in achieving 
them. The issuer should disclose the policy or a summary of it.

Oceania has a Diversity Policy which aims to ensure that Oceania has a focus on diversity throughout the 
organisation. This recognises that a diverse work force (including at Board and management levels) contributes  
to business growth and performance, helping to drive an inclusive, high performance environment.

The Diversity Policy establishes the following measurable objectives for achieving diversity:

-  Facilitating and promoting equal employment opportunities at all levels including assessment of diversity of skills, 

experience, values, culture and gender wherever possible from the available candidates.

-  Promoting a merit based environment in which employees have the opportunity to develop and perform to their 
full potential in alignment with Oceania’s commitment to the ongoing training and wellbeing of its employees.

-  Ensuring employees are treated fairly, evaluated objectively and promoted on the basis of their performance. 

The Diversity Policy also sets out requirements for the Board to assess its progress in achieving the objectives and 
the objectives themselves. The Diversity Policy is available on Oceania’s website. 

The Board considers that the Diversity Policy has been successfully implemented across the business with an 
excellent balance of gender and ethnicity at Director and officer levels. As at 31 May 2017 (and 31 May 2016 for the 
prior comparative period), the gender breakdown of the Directors, officers (as that term is defined in the NZX Listing 
Rules) and employees is as follows:

Corporate Governance Statement (Continued)

Director Training

Recommendation 2.6: Directors should undertake appropriate training to remain current on how to best perform 
their duties as Directors of an issuer. 

The Board ensures that there is appropriate training for all Directors enabling them to remain current on how to best 
discharge their responsibilities and keep abreast of changes and trends in economic, political, social, financial and 
legal climates and governance practices. The Board also ensures that new Directors are appropriately introduced to 
management and the business, that all Directors are acquainted with relevant industry knowledge and receive copies 
of appropriate company documents to enable them to perform their role.

Evaluation of Performance of Directors

Recommendation 2.7: The Board should have a procedure to regularly assess Director, Board and committee 
performance.

The Chair of the Board leads an annual performance review and evaluation of the Board as a whole, and of the Board 
committees, against the Board Charter including seeking Director’s views relating to Board and Board committee 
process, efficiency and effectiveness, for discussion by the full Board. The Chair of the Board also engages with 
individual Directors to evaluate and discuss performance and professional development. 

Separation of Board Chair and CEO

Recommendation 2.8: The Chair and the CEO should be different people.

The Board Charter requires the Board Chair to be an independent Director, and not be the same person as the Chief 
Executive Officer or the Chair of the Audit Committee. 

Principle 3 – Board Committees

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

Overview of Board Committees

The Board has three standing committees to assist in the execution of the Board’s duties, being the Audit Committee, 
the Remuneration Committee and the Clinical and Health and Safety Committee. 

Recommendation 3.5: All committees should operate under written charters. An issuer should identify the members 
of each of its committees, and periodically report member attendance.

Each committee operates under a charter which is available on Oceania’s website. Committee members are 
appointed from members of the Board and membership is reviewed on an annual basis. Any recommendations 
made by committees are submitted to the full Board as recommendations for Board decision.

Audit Committee

Recommendation 3.1: An issuer’s Audit Committee should operate under a written charter. Membership on the  
Audit Committee should be majority independent and comprise solely of non-executive Directors of the issuer.  
The chair of the Audit Committee should not also be the Chair of the Board.

The Audit Committee comprises Alan Isaac (Chair), Elizabeth Coutts and Hugh FitzSimons and met six times  
during the year. The Audit Committee assists the Board in providing oversight of all matters relating to financial 
management and controls, financial accounting, audit and the external reporting requirements of Oceania and  
its subsidiary companies. The Audit Committee operates under the Audit Committee Charter. 

Recommendation 3.2: Employees should only attend Audit Committee meetings at the invitation of the  
Audit Committee.

The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Financial Controller and General Counsel & Company Secretary 
attend Audit Committee meetings at the invitation of the Audit Committee. Oceania’s external auditor attends 
meetings as deemed necessary by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee also meets and receives regular 
reports from the external auditor without management present, concerning any matters that arise in connection  
with the performance of their role.

Remuneration Committee

Recommendation 3.3: An issuer should have a Remuneration Committee which operates under a written charter 
(unless this is carried out by the whole Board). At least a majority of the Remuneration Committee should be 
independent Directors. Management should only attend Remuneration Committee meetings at the invitation of  
the Remuneration Committee.

The Remuneration Committee comprises Hugh FitzSimons (Chair), Elizabeth Coutts and Alan Isaac and met three 
times during the year. The Remuneration Committee assists the Board in the discharge of its responsibilities and 
oversight relative to the remuneration and performance of the Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Management 
Team, remuneration of Directors and human resources policy and strategy. The Remuneration Committee operates 
under the Remuneration Committee Charter. 

Management only attend Remuneration Committee meetings at the invitation of the Remuneration Committee. 

Nomination Committee 

Recommendation 3.4: An issuer should establish a Nomination Committee to recommend Director appointments  
to the Board (unless this is carried out by the whole Board), which should operate under a written charter. At least  
a majority of the Nomination Committee should be independent Directors.

The Board has decided not to have a separate Nomination Committee as Director appointments are considered  
by the Board as a whole. The procedure for the nomination and appointment of Directors is included in the Board 
Charter, and summarised in Principle 2 above (under the heading "Nomination and Appointment of Directors"). 

Clinical and Health and Safety Committee

Recommendation 3.5: An issuer should consider whether it is appropriate to have any other board committees  
as standing Board committees. 

The Clinical and Health and Safety Committee was formed in April 2017 and comprises Kerry Prendergast (Chair), 
Elizabeth Coutts and Hugh FitzSimons. This Committee met once in the period from April to May 2017. Prior to  
the establishment of the Clinical and Health and Safety Committee, the Board considered clinical risks and health  
and safety policy. 

The Clinical and Health and Safety Committee reviews clinical risks, health and safety policy and risks arising from 
Oceania’s physical operations, and any other matters that may affect Oceania’s reputation outside of the financial 
risks that are specifically addressed within the Audit Committee. The Clinical and Health and Safety Committee 
operates under the Clinical and Health and Safety Committee Charter.

The Chief Executive Officer, the General Manager Aged Care, the General Manager Health and Safety and the  
General Counsel & Company Secretary attend these meetings. 

81

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Corporate Governance Statement (Continued)

Takeover Protocols

Recommendation 3.6: The Board should establish appropriate protocols that set out the procedure to be followed  
if there is a takeover offer for the issuer (amongst other matters).

Given Oceania’s recent listing, it does not have formal takeover protocols in place as at the date of this 
Corporate Governance Statement. Such formal protocols are in the process of being developed, and are 
expected to be adopted shortly. 

Principle 4 – Reporting and Disclosure
The Board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting, and in the timeliness and balance 
of corporate disclosures.

The Board is committed to providing timely, orderly, consistent, accurate and credible information to the market to 
promote investor confidence.

Continuous Disclosure 

Recommendation 4.1: An issuer’s Board should have a written Continuous Disclosure Policy.

All information received by Oceania is considered in the context of Oceania’s obligations as a listed company with 
regard to continuous disclosure of material information. At each Board meeting, the Board considers whether there is 
material information that is required to be disclosed to the market. Oceania has established a Market Disclosure 
Policy to ensure compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the NZX Listing Rules and the ASX 
Listing Rules. The Market Disclosure Policy is available on Oceania’s website. 

Charters and Policies

Recommendation 4.2: An issuer should make its code of ethics, Board and committee charters and the policies 
recommended in the NZX Code, together with any other key governance documents, available on its website.

Information about Oceania’s corporate governance framework (including the Code of Values and Conduct, Board 
and Board committee charters, and other key governance codes and policies) are available to view on Oceania’s 
website at www.oceaniahealthcare.co.nz/investor-centre/governance. 

Financial Reporting 

Recommendation 4.3: Financial reporting should be balanced, clear and objective.

The Audit Committee oversees the quality and integrity of external financial reporting including the accuracy, 
completeness and timeliness of financial statements, and ensuring that financial reporting is balanced, clear and 
objective. It reviews annual and half year financial statements and makes recommendations to the Board concerning 
the application of accounting policies and practice, areas of judgement, compliance with accounting standards, stock 
exchange and legal requirements, and the results of the external audit. 

Management accountability for Oceania’s financial reporting is reinforced by the written certification from the Chief 
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that, in their opinion, financial records have been properly maintained 
and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of 
the financial position and performance of Oceania. Such representations are given on the basis of a sound system  
of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial 
reporting risk.

Non-Financial Reporting – Sustainability 

Recommendation 4.3: An issuer should provide non-financial disclosure at least annually, including considering 
material exposure to environmental, economic and social sustainability risks and other key risks. It should explain  
how it plans to manage those risks and how operational or non-financial targets are measured.

The Board and management consider the sustainability of Oceania’s buildings, particularly for new developments. 
Oceania carefully considers the selection of materials for its developments and all timber used in developments  
is sourced from sustainable forests. Oceania takes appropriate measures to reduce its impact on the environment, 
including ensuring that waste from construction sites is separated on site before being transported to transfer 
stations. Newer buildings that have been developed include more insulation than is required, double glazing,  
water efficiency fittings, the use of energy efficient lighting and energy star rated appliances. 

Given Oceania’s recent listing, the Board is in the process of developing a sustainability policy. It expects this  
to be adopted shortly, with sustainability measures to be reported on in future years.

Notes:
1   Elizabeth Coutts, Alan Isaac and Kerry Prendergast were each paid additional Director fees of $25,000 in May 2017 to remunerate them 

for additional work required in preparation for the IPO. 

2   Kerry Prendergast was appointed to the Board on 22 December 2016 so her total remuneration for the year ended 31 May 2017 does  

not represent fees for a full year.

3   Patrick McCawe and Hugh FitzSimons, as appointees of Oceania Healthcare Holdings Limited, did not receive any Director fees for  
the year ending 31 May 2017. Patrick McCawe and Hugh FitzSimons will each receive Director fees for the year ending 31 May 2018. 

The above fees exclude GST and expenses and represent a combination of the former fee rates and increased fee 
rates that applied from 1 March 2017.

Remuneration Policy

Recommendation 5.2: An issuer should have a Remuneration Policy for remuneration of Directors and officers,  
which outlines the relative weightings of remuneration components and relevant performance criteria.

Oceania has adopted a Remuneration Policy which sets out the remuneration principles that apply to all Directors 
and senior managers of Oceania to ensure that remuneration practices are fair and appropriate, and that there is a 
clear link between remuneration and performance. Oceania is committed to applying fair and equitable 
remuneration and reward practices in the workplace, taking into account internal and external relativity, the 
commercial environment, the ability to achieve Oceania’s business objectives and the creation of shareholder value. 
Under Oceania’s remuneration framework, individual performance and market relativity are key considerations in all 
remuneration based decisions, balanced by the organisational context. Remuneration for senior managers includes  
a mix of fixed and variable components. A copy of the Remuneration Policy is available on Oceania’s website. 

Employees’ Remuneration

Oceania did not employ people directly in the year ended 31 May 2017. All employees are employed by the subsidiaries 
of Oceania. The number of employees and former employees of Oceania’s subsidiaries, not being a Director, who 
received remuneration and other benefits in excess of $100,000 for the financial year ended 31 May 2017 is set out  
in the table of remuneration bands below. 

The remuneration figures shown in the “Remuneration” column includes all monetary payments actually paid during 
the course of the year ended 31 May 2017. The table does not include amounts paid after 31 May 2017 that relate to 
the year ended 31 May 2017.

Chief Executive Officer Remuneration

Recommendation 5.3: An issuer should disclose the remuneration arrangements in place for the CEO in its Annual 
Report. This should include disclosure of the base salary, short term incentives and long term incentives and the 
performance criteria used to determine performance based payments. 

The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the year ended 31 May 2017 is as follows:

As this is the first annual report following Oceania’s listing, there are no comparable historic disclosures of CEO 
remuneration. Comparable figures will be provided in future years. 

84

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017The remuneration of the CEO comprises of fixed remuneration and performance payments. Fixed remuneration includes 
a base salary, the provision of a carpark and a vehicle allowance.

Mr Gasparich received a short term incentive of $232,000 in July 2016. This was based on an achievement of financial 
performance (EBITDA performance against budget), health and safety performance (injury and reporting rates), 
personal goals and a discretionary component for the year ended 31 May 2016, in which earnings increased 
substantially over the previous year. 

Mr Gasparich also received a transaction bonus of $370,000 on completion of the IPO, in recognition of his past 
services to Oceania.  

Mr Gasparich was invited to participate in a Long Term Incentive Plan which was established concurrent with the IPO. 
As part of this, Earl Gasparich, Celia Gasparich and Carla Jane Pearce as trustees of the Gasparich Family Trust were 
provided with an interest free loan of an amount of $550,000 to acquire 696,203 ordinary shares in Oceania. These 
shares are held by OCA Employees Trustee Limited on behalf of the participants. Further detail about this Long Term 
Incentive Plan is set out below.

In addition, 320,513 ordinary shares were vest in Earl Gasparich, Celia Gasparich and Carla Jane Pearce as  
trustees of the Gasparich Family Trust on 9 May 2017 as the IPO target for the first long term incentive plan that  
was implemented in August 2015 was met. An additional 641,026 ordinary shares vest on 28 July 2017, being the 
business day after release of the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2017, as the financial hurdles have 
been met. Further detail about this Long Term Incentive Plan is set out below. 

Senior Managers

Oceania’s senior managers are appointed by the CEO and their key performance indicators ('KPIs') contain specific 
financial and other objectives. These KPIs are reviewed annually by the CEO and the Remuneration Committee, 
which makes recommendations to the Board for approval. The performance of the senior managers against these 
KPIs is evaluated annually.

Short Term Incentive Payments

Short term incentive ('STI') payments are at risk payments designed to motivate and reward for performance, 
typically in that financial year. The target value of a STI payment is set as a percentage of the employee’s base salary. 
The target areas for all employees who are entitled to a STI payment are set based on financial performance (EBITDA 
performance against budget), health and safety performance (injury and reporting rates), personal goals, and there 
is also a small discretionary component. The weightings applied to each of the target areas are consistent throughout 
Oceania for all employees entitled to a STI payment. 

The Board approves the STI payments to be made to senior managers at the end of each financial year, and approves  
the senior manager targets for the following financial year. 

Long Term Incentive Scheme

2015 LTIP Scheme 

Certain Oceania senior managers participate in a Long Term Incentive Plan which was approved by the Board in 
August 2015 ('2015 LTIP Scheme'). The senior managers were each provided with an interest free loan by Oceania 
which was applied to acquiring shares. The amount of the loan for each senior manager was determined at the 
Board’s discretion. As at 31 May 2017, the aggregate value of all outstanding loans made by Oceania to the senior 
managers under the 2015 LTIP Scheme was $1,420,001.44. 

The Board then approved the issue of, and subsequently issued, 2,730,772 shares under the 2015 LTIP Scheme which 
vest to the participants as follows:

-  One third of the participants’ shares on the business day after the IPO; and 

-  The remaining two thirds of the participants’ shares on the business day after release of the financial statements for 

the year ended 31 May 2017 (subject to financial hurdles having been met). 

The first third of the participants’ shares vested on 9 May 2017, being the business day after the IPO. 

The remaining two thirds of the participants’ shares vest on 28 July 2017, being the business day after release of  
the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2017, as the financial hurdles have been met. The shares issued  
to Earl Gasparich (through his family trust) and Matthew Ward (CFO) under the 2015 LTIP Scheme are subject to 
escrow arrangements until the first Business Day after the date on which Oceania releases to NZX its preliminary 
announcement of its financial results in respect of the financial year ended 31 May 2018. 

85

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Corporate Governance Statement (Continued)

A participant will only benefit in respect of shares acquired under the 2015 LTIP Scheme if he or she remains 
employed by Oceania at the vesting date for the relevant shares. 

The loans must be repaid on or before 31 May 2019.

2017 LTIP Scheme

In addition, certain Oceania senior managers were invited to participate in another Long Term Incentive Plan which 
was established concurrent with the IPO ('2017 LTIP Scheme'). The senior managers were each provided with an 
interest free loan by Oceania which was applied to acquiring the shares. The amount of the loan for each senior 
manager was determined at the Board’s discretion. There were 3,164,557 shares issued under the 2017 LTIP Scheme 
on 4 May 2017 and these are held by OCA Employees Trustee Limited on behalf of the participants. As at 31 May 
2017, the aggregate value of all outstanding loans made by Oceania to the senior managers under the 2017 LTIP 
Scheme was $2,500,000.  

Generally, the shares under the 2017 LTIP Scheme will be eligible to vest if, at the vesting date (which is the business 
day after release of the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2020), the participant remains employed  
by Oceania and the performance hurdles are achieved. The performance hurdles require Oceania’s performance  
to meet, or exceed, an underlying Earnings per Share Compound Annual Growth Rate ('EPS CAGR') of 35% per 
annum or greater, over the three year vesting period. In calculating the underlying EPS CAGR, the Board will make 
pro forma adjustments to the FY2017 underlying EPS depending on the timing of delivery of key development 
projects. The Board may also adjust for the impact of items including significant one off gains or losses, acquisitions 
or divestments and changes to accounting policy. The 2017 LTIP Scheme shares may not vest in the participants if 
certain other conditions are not met.

The loans must be repaid after the 2017 LTIP Scheme shares have vested to each of the participants, or on such other 
date determined in accordance with the rules of the 2017 LTIP Scheme. 

Principle 6 – Risk Management

Directors should have a sound understanding of the material risks faced by the issuer and how to manage 
them. The Board should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes that identify and manage 
potential and material risks.

Risk Management

Recommendation 6.1: An issuer should have a risk management framework for its business and the issuer’s Board 
should receive and review regular reports. A framework should also be put in place to manage any existing risks and 
to report the material risks facing the business and how these are being managed.

The Board is responsible for Oceania’s risk management and internal control. The Board monitors policies and 
processes that identify significant business risks and implements procedures to monitor these risks. 

The Chief Executive Officer and senior managers regularly identify the major risks affecting the business in an 
organisational Risk Matrix, and develop strategies to mitigate these risks. Significant risks are discussed at Board 
meetings, or as required. Oceania maintains insurance policies that it considers adequate to meet insurable risks.

Health and Safety

Recommendation 6.2: An issuer should disclose how it manages its health and safety risks and should report on 
their health and safety risks, performance and management.

Oceania employs a General Manager Health and Safety and has established a Clinical and Health and Safety 
Committee to assist the Board in meeting its responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.  
In particular, the Committee is responsible for ensuring that Health and Safety has appropriate focus within Oceania 
by regularly engaging in assurance processes around risk assessment and mitigation, safety systems, staff capability, 
staff competency, safety leadership and business safety culture. 

Health and Safety review reports are a priority agenda item at all Board meetings and specific reviews are sought as 
required. Oceania has developed a Health and Safety Risk Matrix to identify specific risks, assess their severity and 
likelihood, document mitigation strategies and determine the level of residual risk. This matrix is reviewed annually by the 
Board and annual Health and Safety objectives and KPI’s are set for the business based on the significant risks identified.

Detailed monthly reports are produced for the Board covering Health and Safety incidents, injury rates by severity, 
local site Health and Safety committee meetings, sick leave and key initiatives undertaken.

86

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Oceania benchmarks its Health and Safety reporting rates against its peers, however, the methodology for 
calculating such information is inconsistent in the industry. As part of an industry Health and Safety Working Group, 
Oceania is working with other industry participants to agree on a consistent methodology for calculating Health and 
Safety reporting rates. 

Principle 7 – Auditors

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

Relationship with Auditor

Recommendation 7.1 and 7.2: The Board should establish a framework for the issuer’s relationship with its external 
auditor. This should include the procedures prescribed in the NZX Code. The external auditor should attend the 
issuer’s annual meeting to answer questions from shareholders in relation to the audit.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the oversight of Oceania’s external audit arrangements. It is committed to 
ensuring that Oceania’s external auditor is able to carry out its work independently so that financial reporting is 
highly reliable and credible. Oceania has an External Auditor Independence policy, which is available on Oceania’s 
website. The External Audit Independence Policy implements the procedures set out in the NZX Code.

The policy sets out the work that the external auditor is required to do and specifies the services that the external 
auditor is not permitted to do, so that the ability of the auditor to carry out its work is not impaired and could not 
reasonably be perceived to be impaired. All non-audit work that the external auditor performs must be approved  
by the Chair of the Audit Committee. 

Oceania’s external auditor is PricewaterhouseCoopers. Total fees paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers in its capacity  
as auditor for FY2017 were $346,000. Total fees paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers for other professional services  
for FY2017 were $663,000. The other service fees comprise other assurance services (trustee reporting and  
external reporting to banks) ($13,000), taxation compliance services ($125,000) and transaction costs relating  
to the IPO ($525,000). 

PricewaterhouseCoopers has been invited to attend this year’s annual meeting and will be available to answer 
questions about the audit process, Oceania’s accounting policies and the independence of the auditor.

Internal Audit Functions

Recommendation 7.3: Internal audit functions should be disclosed. 

Oceania does not have an internal audit function other than the oversight of the Audit Committee. However,  
Oceania appointed KPMG for the audit of its payroll system during the financial year ended 31 May 2017, and 
specialist auditors are engaged for other areas for evaluating and continually improving the effectiveness of risk 
management and internal processes, including: 

-  Oceania has successfully achieved ACC Workplace Safety Management Practices tertiary status since 2006.  
The last audit was undertaken in December 2016, and Oceania passed the audit with no actions required.  
In addition, Oceania engages external subject matter experts such as Site Safe to undertake regular contractor 
management reviews of its site developments.

-  Oceania’s clinical policies and processes are subject to an external audit via HealthCert. In addition, Technical 

Advisory Services is Oceania’s designated auditing agency which conducts site audits of each care facility every  
18 to 24 months. These site audits comprise both surveillance audits and certification audits.

-  Oceania is audited for food safety by Quality Auditing Specialists Limited who are registered as approved 

evaluators and verifiers for Food Control Plans by the Ministry for Primary Industries. Oceania’s Custom Food 
Control Plan was evaluated by an MPI approved evaluator from Quality Auditing Specialists Limited and approved 
on 28 October 2016. A verification audit was undertaken between 29 March and 20 June 2017 at each of the 39 of 
Oceania’s sites that were registered. This is an annual registration, and verification audits are currently undertaken 
every 12 months for each site. 

-  Oceania engages the DAA Group to undertake an audit of its retirement villages as is required under the 

Retirement Villages Act 2003. DAA Group audits each registered village every three years.

Oceania Healthcare  |  Annual Report 2017Corporate Governance Statement (Continued)

Principle 8 – Shareholder Rights And Relations

The Board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster constructive relationships with shareholders 
that encourage them to engage with the issuer. 

Information for Shareholders

Recommendation 8.1: An issuer should have a website where investors and interested stakeholders can access 
financial and operational information and key corporate governance information about the issuer.

Oceania is committed to an open and transparent relationship with shareholders. The Board aims to ensure that all 
shareholders are provided with all information necessary to assess Oceania’s direction and performance. 

This is done through a range of communication methods including periodic and continuous disclosures to NZX and 
ASX, half year and annual reports and the annual meeting. Oceania’s website provides financial and operational 
information, and information about its Directors and senior managers and copies of its governance documents, for 
investors and interested stakeholders to access at any time. 

Communicating with Shareholders

Recommendation 8.2: An issuer should allow investors the ability to easily communicate with the issuer, including 
providing the option to receive communications from the issuer electronically.

Shareholders have the option of receiving their communications electronically, including by email or through 
Oceania’s investor centre. Oceania’s website also contains a section for electronic shareholder communications and 
the Board encourages investors to make enquiries if they wish on environmental, social and governance issues.  

Shareholder Voting Rights 

Recommendation 8.3 and 8.4: Shareholders should have the right to vote on major decisions which may change the 
nature of the company in which they are invested in. Each person who invests money in a company should have one 
vote per share of the company they own equally with other shareholders.

The regulatory safeguards built into the NZX Listing Rules, ASX Listing Rules, the Companies Act 1993 and Oceania’s 
constitution operate to preserve shareholders’ entitlement to vote on key decisions impacting Oceania, including 
where votes are conducted by poll, each shareholder shall have one vote per share. 

Notice of Annual Meeting 

Recommendation 8.5: The Board should ensure that the annual shareholders notice of meeting is posted on the 
issuer’s website as soon as possible and at least 28 days prior to the meeting.

Oceania encourages shareholder participation in meetings, and the Board aims to ensure that all relevant information 
is provided to shareholders for consideration with sufficient notice in advance of shareholders’ meetings (and at least 
28 days prior to Oceania’s annual meeting, including by posting the notice of annual meeting on Oceania’s website). 

Principle 9 – Stakeholder Interests

The Board should respect the interests of stakeholders, taking into account the entity’s ownership type and  
its fundamental purpose. 

The Board carefully considers and respects the interests of Oceania’s stakeholders (in addition to its shareholders) 
including, in particular, the residents and their families, its staff and the communities in which it operates. 

In relation to residents, Oceania has a number of residential care and independent living policies that recognise the 
rights of residents. Oceania also complies with the requirements of the Retirement Villages Code of Practice 2008 
which further identifies obligations to residents and protects residents’ rights. Oceania has received external recognition 
for service delivery in aged care, and was awarded the New Zealand Aged Care Association’s Award for Overall 
Excellence in Care in 2015 and 2016. 

In relation to staff, Oceania has a strong commitment to staff training and development. A dedicated learning and 
development team focuses on the delivery of staff training and a Career Pathways Programme which includes a NZQA 
recognised Healthcare Assistant Certificate in residential care. In addition, Oceania’s Wesley Institute of Learning 
provides postgraduate nursing and healthcare assistant training to Oceania staff and the wider nursing and healthcare 
industry, providing an important strategic avenue for recruitment by Oceania of well trained registered nurses.
