connection.

ANN UAL  REP ORT  2023

We know the value of connection — connection 
to people, places, interests and treasured 
possessions — we understand its importance 
in the lives of our residents.

Our focus at Oceania is to ensure that our 
residents retain connection to what matters 
to them, continuing to lead lives filled with 
purpose. We create homes in the heart of 
communities, and design spaces and services 
that enhance social relationships, both within 
our villages and the local neighbourhood. 

We forge valuable connections with our 
providers and keep pace with the wider world, 
bringing in ideas to innovate and improve. 

Every life is rich with connection, and it is 
our privilege to honour that.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

Positioning 
for future growth.

Financial Performance

Unaudited Underlying EBITDA 
of $80.0m for the year ended 31 
March 2023 was 5% higher than 
the prior corresponding period 
of $76.2m. This was largely as a 
result of the continued maturity of 
our portfolio supporting increased 
deferred management fee (DMF) 
and resale gains. Total capital 
gains for the year ended 31 March 
2023 of $59.4m increased $3.1m, 
or 5%, from capital gains in 
the prior corresponding period 
of $56.3m.

Oceania’s total assets increased 
to $2.5b as at 31 March 2023, 
compared with $2.2b as at 31 
March 2022. This increase is 
largely due to the continued 
development across 11 sites 
during the period, as well 
as the developments at The 
Helier (Auckland), Lady Allum 
(Auckland) and The Bellevue 
(Christchurch) being valued as 
complete, partially offset by 
broadly unfavourable changes 
in valuation assumptions which 
are reflective of market conditions 
over the last year. 

For the year ended 31 March 
2023, operating cashflow was 
$70.2m, compared to $105.5m for 
the year ended 31 March 2022. 
This reflects a lower number of 
new sales in the current year and 
an investment in future growth 
through the buy back of some 
units at development sites.

As at 31 March 2023, Oceania 
had current drawn down 
debt and bonds of $557.8m, 
$7.4m of cash and $174.6m of 
undrawn net debt headroom. 

Care

Oceania has long been regarded 
as the leader in the provision 
of high quality residential care 
services to older New Zealanders. 
Oceania has a higher weighting 
of care beds relative to its peers, 
and was the pioneer of care suites, 
as a premium model of care, back 
in 2008. Oceania has invested 
heavily in the care suite model 
to reduce reliance on Government 
funding and maintain attractive 
returns on capital. Since the 
inception of its care suite product, 

Oceania has capitalised on 
premium care earnings when 
margins on traditional care 
beds are difficult to achieve. 

As at 31 March 2023, 37% of 
Oceania’s total care beds are 
care suites, licensed to residents 
under an occupation right 
agreement model. Care suites 
deliver additional capital and 
DMF to the business and improve 
free cash flow growth as DMF for 
care suites is realised faster than 
DMF for villas and apartments. 
Care suite DMF has grown from 
$7.0m in FY2020 to $14.9m in 
FY2023 and this will continue to 
grow as the pipeline of care suite 
developments is completed. 

In providing premium care 
services to our residents, 
Oceania continues to have a 
relatively high ratio of nurses to 
residents. This level of investment 
is required in order to provide 
the highest standard of resident 
experience and deliver the level 
of care expected by our current, 
and future, residents. 

I am pleased to present our Annual Report 
for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Oceania has once again demonstrated its resilience 
and strength, delivering a solid financial performance 
in a challenging economic environment with a slowing 
residential property market, labour shortages and 
severe weather events. 

OCEANIA ANNUAL REPORT 2023BETTER CONNECTIONCONTENTSLETTER FROM THE CHAIR

Looking ahead, Oceania is further 
investing in premium models of 
care, with its first fully privately 
funded care centre opening at 
The Helier (Auckland) in FY2024, 
providing further premium 
revenue growth in the business. 

In addition to exiting our 
arrangement with Airedale 
Property Trust in respect of 
Everil Orr, we have entered into 
an agreement to sell two of our 
smaller Auckland care sites 

to another existing aged care 
operator. These divestments will 
enable cash to be released for 
reinvestment with higher returns. 

Village

With the significant headwinds 
facing the construction sector 
over the last year, Oceania has 
been introducing measures 
to maintain the delivery of a 
strong development and sales 
pipeline. Oceania is focused on 
its cash recovery profile and 

Oceania has a proven track record of cash 
generation for its existing site developments 
and remains focused on consistently achieving 
positive outcomes in recycling cash.

the development of independent 
living villa products as the 
backbone of the next phase of 
Oceania’s development projects 
will assist this. This is because 
villa developments deliver faster 
recycling of cash than apartment 
or care suite developments, as 
well as providing greater flexibility 
for staging and settlement 
of product. Oceania has key 
development sites in the near 
term development pipeline that 
are exclusively villa product to 
allow for staging and presales, 
compared to the more complex 
and capital intensive apartment 
and care developments. 

As part of the execution 
of Oceania’s greenfield 
development strategy, there 
will be a reweighting towards the 
construction of independent living 
villas, rather than apartments or 
care suites. As at 31 March 2023, 
Oceania’s independent living unit 
portfolio comprises 53% villas 
and 47% apartments, with most 
of these apartments having 
been completed in the last four 
years. As we come to the end of 
our existing site developments, 
we will be looking to acquire 
land which would be suitable 
for villa product to extend our 
pipeline. This in turn will result in 
a higher portion of villa products 
in our portfolio. 

Strategic Capital Management

Oceania’s capital structure and 
capital management remain a 
key area of focus for Directors. 
While capital management 
has always been a focus for 
Oceania, with significant capital 
markets experience at both the 
Board and management level, 
this is becoming increasingly 
important in the current economic 
environment. Rising interest rates 
and economic uncertainty are 
seeing a greater focus on cash 
generation and balance sheet 
management for Oceania, as 
well as the sector as a whole. 

Oceania has a proven record 
of cash generation from its 
existing site developments and, 
going forward, remains focused 
on consistently achieving 
positive outcomes in recycling 
cash. Oceania’s current pipeline 
includes a significant number of 
developments at existing sites 
which do not require the holding 
cost of land banking. Oceania 
recognizes that an optimal cash 
recovery profile will be a key 
driver of value and growth as 
development margins come under 
pressure in future periods and as 
we move to extend the pipeline. 

Although current challenges in 
the residential property market 
are seeing the average number 
of days to sell independent living 

units increase, there remains a 
strong demand from the market 
for high quality and bespoke 
product. We continue to see 
high levels of enquiry for both 
our independent living units and 
care suites across the country. 
Furthermore, settlements of 
independent living units continue 
to be achieved, albeit a couple 
of months later than we were 
observing a couple of years ago. 

Over 28% of Oceania’s 
independent living villas and 
apartments and care suites 
have been developed since 2016. 
We have seen the rewards from 
our first flagship developments 
at Meadowbank and The Sands, 
with net development cash on 
cash return from first time sales 
and resales, particularly with our 
care suite product. Once a site 
becomes fully mature, the site 
generates not only a significant 
increase in resale gains, but also 
realised DMF and increases in 
weekly village fees. 

With a relatively new portfolio, 
Oceania’s operating costs and 
maintenance capital expenditure 
are well controlled. Having said 
that, it is important to ensure 
that repairs and maintenance 
are funded in order to maintain 
an appropriate level of condition 
and refurbishment of the portfolio.

Looking ahead 

Oceania will continue to 
focus on its care and village 
strategy to improve resident 
experience, capital management, 
sustainability and position itself 
for future growth.

On behalf of the Board, I would 
like to thank our people for their 
enthusiasm, resilience and 
dedication throughout the year. 

Yours sincerely

Elizabeth Coutts

Chair 

As part of its capital management 
programme, Oceania continues to 
review its current portfolio of sites 
in order to ensure optimal capital 
allocation and the recycling of 
cash within the business, with 
an emphasis on considering the 
future of sites that no longer fit 
Oceania’s strategy. Oceania has 
entered into an agreement to sell 
two of its Auckland care sites to a 
smaller operator. This agreement 
is conditional on the purchaser 
obtaining the consent of the 
Ministry of Health and Te Whatu 
Ora to the transfer and the sale 
is expected to settle by August 
2023. In the meantime, Oceania 
will be working with the purchaser 
to ensure a well-managed 
transition period for both staff 
and residents of these sites. 

Dividend Policy and Dividend

Directors have declared a final 
dividend of 1.3 per share, taking 
full year dividends (non-imputed) 
to 3.2 cents per share, which 
represents 39% of Underlying 
Net Profit After Tax. The Directors 
have approved a change in the 
dividend policy to the pay out 
ratio, now being from 30% to 
50% of Underlying Net Profit 
After Tax, in order to provide 
investment in growth.

A dividend reinvestment plan for 
our New Zealand and Australian 
shareholders will apply to this 
dividend, which is payable on 
21 June 2023. This provides a cost 
effective and convenient way for 
our shareholders to increase their 
investment in Oceania without 
any brokerage fees, by reinvesting 
all or part of any dividend paid on 
their shares in additional Oceania 
shares instead of receiving that 
distribution in cash.

Sustainability

Oceania has made tangible 
progress over the last year in 
progressing its sustainability 
ambitions. Over the last year, 
Oceania has committed to the 
Science Based Target initiative 
and is currently working 
towards the implementation 
of the Climate-Related Financial 
Disclosures regime and climate 
risk disclosures. 

Oceania has also prepared 
its updated Sustainability 
Framework, set out on pages 18 
to 25 of this report, following an 
extensive process gaining insights 
from a wide range of stakeholders, 
including our people. This 
framework will guide Oceania’s 
sustainability journey, resetting 
our sustainability aspirations 
and enabling the preparation 

of a clear programme of work 
to embed sustainability into 
everything we do. 

As part of its commitment to 
sustainability, the Board has 
also established a dedicated 
Sustainability Committee. 
The Committee (comprising Rob 
Hamilton (Chair), Sally Evans and 
me) is responsible for assisting the 
Board in providing leadership and 
policy for sustainability initiatives, 
reviewing progress towards 
achieving sustainability targets, 
overseeing the implementation of 
Oceania’s sustainability strategy 
and reviewing progress towards 
identifying and addressing 
climate-related issues. 

Governance 

During the year, Directors 
have continued to meet with 
residents at many of our sites 
around the country. It is great 
to meet our people onsite and 
observe the culture and day 
to day operations. We always 
enjoy the opportunity to meet 
with our residents and receive 
their feedback which is then 
incorporated into our continuous 
improvement processes. 

I would also like to thank 
Directors for their dedication, 
commitment and wisdom and 
support that they have provided 
to the executive team during 
these challenging times.

OCEANIA ANNUAL REPORT 2023BETTER CONNECTIONCONTENTSLETTER FROM THE CEO

Executing on 
our strategy.

Our purpose is to reimagine the 
retirement and aged care living experience 
in New Zealand, and we constantly challenge 
ourselves to deliver better.

9

We have been executing on 
our five year strategy that we 
outlined in last year’s Annual 
Report, despite the challenges 
that have been driven by global, 
economic and climate events 
that were outside of our control 
over the last year. Although there 
have been significant pressures 
that have been placed on our 
residents, staff and portfolio, we 
have shown a tremendous ability 
to remain agile and achieve 
strong performance through 
the disruption, exemplifying the 
resilience of our business and our 
wonderfully dedicated team. 

Weather events

Oceania’s operations were 
affected by the unprecedented 
weather events in the North 
Island in January/February 2023. 
Oceania stood up its Emergency 
Management Team, which met 
regularly to manage Oceania’s 
response to these events and 

coordinate efforts to support 
our residents and staff during 
this time. After the worst of the 
weather had passed, our focus 
turned to the health, safety 
and wellbeing of our residents 
and staff. Our team worked 
tirelessly, standing shoulder to 
shoulder in supporting efforts, 
providing solutions and ensuring 
we delivered great outcomes for 
our residents and staff during 
this difficult time. The weather 
events required significant team 
resource reallocation with many 
people across the organisation 
allocated activities in providing 
support to our residents as well 
as working on the recovery and 
restoration of our sites. The deeper 
connections made with our 
residents and their families and 
friends, during these challenging 
weather events, have reinforced 
the real sense of community, 
connection, respect and dignity 
that comes from living at Oceania. 

Four of our Auckland sites were 
affected by flooding following 
the weather event on Friday 
27 January 2023. It was very 
pleasing to see three of these 
sites restored to full operations 
in the following week. This is a 
testament to the hard work of 
our team on the ground who 
stepped in to help support our 
residents and clean up after 
the flooding. There was extensive 
flooding at our Lady Allum site 
(Milford, Auckland) and all of 
our independent living apartment 
residents were relocated to 
alternative accommodation while 
repairs to buildings and building 
services were undertaken. After 
months of hard work, we are very 
pleased to see nearly all of our 
Lady Allum residents back in the 
apartments. We acknowledge 
that this has been a confronting 
and emotional time for our 
residents and we would like to 
thank everyone involved for their 
efforts in supporting our residents 
at Lady Allum during this time. 

OCEANIA ANNUAL REPORT 2023BETTER CONNECTIONCONTENTSLETTER FROM THE CEO10

Oceania has five sites in the 
Hawkes Bay and we were very 
fortunate to only suffer from 
limited surface flooding at one 
of these sites, with residents 
at Atawhai (Taradale, Napier) 
evacuated as a precaution 
under the direction of Civil 
Defence when floodwaters began 
to rise. Although our Hawkes Bay 
sites suffered limited physical 
damage, the entire environment 
was severely compromised and 
all of our Hawkes Bay sites were 
affected by power cuts, limited 
means of communication and 
disruption as infrastructure and 
supply chains were affected. A 
number of our people in the 
Hawkes Bay were also impacted 
by Cyclone Gabrielle. In the 
days following the cyclone, we 
managed to make contact with 
all of our people in the affected 
areas to check they were safe and 
we provided immediate financial 
assistance to these staff to help 
them buy day-to-day essentials 
and help get them back on their 
feet. We have more recently 
established a fund to provide 
such emotional, physical and 
financial support as is required 
to help those most affected.

In looking back at these weather 
events and capturing the 
learnings from our response, 
we recognise that Oceania has 
the benefit of well designed and 
newer sites, with smaller resident 

populations to look after. Like 
many of our peers, Oceania had 
already invested in resilience 
measures to mitigate the risks 
associated with these type of 
events. These natural events once 
again highlighted the value that 
retirement and aged care living 
provides for our residents. 

Market conditions

In addition to the challenges 
presented by the weather 
events, the New Zealand 
economy has also come under 
pressure in the last year from 
labour shortages, increasing 
inflation and a falling residential 
property market. Oceania has 
adapted and evolved to respond 
to many of these challenges, 
while also looking ahead to the 
opportunities that have emerged 
from this challenging and 
changing environment. 

In order to overcome 
difficult market 
conditions, Oceania 
is maintaining its focus 
on quality, managing 
its balance sheet and 
maintaining maximum 
optionality within 
its business. 

Oceania has undoubtedly been 
adversely affected by ongoing 
labour shortages. Closed borders, 

confusion on immigration 
settings and uncompetitive 
wages relative to international 
markets continue to drive acute 
shortages in skilled labour. We 
are seeing this particularly in the 
case of clinical staff. Although the 
actual Government funding being 
provided to address pay parity 
and equity for aged residential 
care nurses is significantly short 
of what is required, this additional 
funding may assist the sector 
in the medium term and in any 
event with the increased public 
awareness should be an area of 
focus for Government in ensuring 
New Zealand remains competitive 
in a global war for skilled labour. 

The impacts of inflation are being 
felt across Oceania’s business 
operations in our key inputs and 
it shows up in increased cost 
pressure on wages, food, energy, 
medication and development 
costs. Oceania has responded 
to this in its resident value 
proposition, by offering certainty 
on entry price for its independent 
living villas and apartments and 
by providing confidence on the 
cost of weekly fees, so residents 
do not need to worry about rising 
costs such as Council rates, 
insurance and maintenance 
costs. Oceania is also well 
placed relative to its peers as 
we are a boutique provider of 
services with a smaller resident 
population at each village, 
which allows us to dynamically 

price the scarcity value of the 
great environment and service 
package that we offer. 

Market commentators rightly 
draw parallels between a cooling 
residential property market and 
the corresponding impact on the 
retirement village sector. However, 
this narrative is overly simplistic 
and fails to differentiate between 
residents who are making a 
lifestyle choice to move into a 
retirement village and those 
residents who make a needs-
based decision to move into a 
village or care centre. The current 
residential property market 
conditions are irrelevant for the 
large number of residents who 
make a needs-based decision to 
come into an Oceania village or 
care centre and we are continuing 
to see high levels of demand for 
our care suite product. While 
Oceania has certainly seen an 
increase in the average days 
to sell its independent living 
villas and apartments, we 
have observed higher levels of 
enquiry for our premium offering. 
This is in part due to Oceania 
offering an attractive downsizing 
option for residents within 
their local community, which 
allows residents to crystallize 
wealth that has been trapped 
in a larger residential home. 
In addition, Oceania provides 
a trusted pathway to high 
quality care through our highly 
successful care suite product. 

The tail of COVID-19 is continuing 
to impact the construction sector 
and while projects are being 
delivered, they are taking longer 
to complete as contractors are 
finding it challenging to have a 
full complement of teams working 
on site. 

Strategic Pillars

Oceania has developed four 
foundational strategic pillars 
in order to meet its ambition to 
create sustainable retirement 
and aged care living experiences 
for today, and for our people of 
tomorrow. These pillars are Offer, 
Resident Experience, People 
Capability and Growth. 

OCEANIA ANNUAL REPORT 2023BETTER CONNECTIONCONTENTSLETTER FROM THE CEOOffer

A cornerstone of Oceania’s 
business is its Offer – the design, 
development, build and sale 
of perfect properties for our 
residents of the future. Amidst 
challenging construction market 
conditions, we have taken a 
more targeted approach to 
development execution. This 
has led to the premiumisation 
of Oceania’s built form and 
a bespoke “right product, 
right place” approach when 
undertaking new developments. 

Oceania contracts out 
its construction to a small 
number of trusted high quality 
and capable construction 
partners. This has served us well 
and has allowed us to focus our 
attention on the replenishment 
of the development pipeline. 

This approach has also allowed 
us to take a disciplined approach 
to our design and development 
activities, which in turn protects 
development margins. 

Over the last 18 months, we 
have been re-evaluating our 
development pipeline to take a 
more targeted approach to our 
development activities. In the 
past, Oceania was exclusively 
a developer of brownfield sites. 
This caused a volatility in earnings 
as well as additional complexities 
and costs with the construction, 
as we needed to work around 
existing residents and operations. 
As we foreshadowed in last 
year’s Annual Report, we are 
coming to the end of this type 
of development and are now 
accenting to the development 
of greenfield sites. 

11

Oceania has sites 
around New Zealand and has 
intentionally designed smaller 
boutique villages. Most of 
our villages have a resident 
population of well below 200 
and we have built recent new 
developments on less than one 
hectare of land. These smaller 
developments enable us to 
recycle cash more efficiently than 
from other larger developments. 

In the year ended 31 March 
2023, Oceania completed 66 
independent living units and 
167 care suites across five sites 
in Auckland, Taupo, Nelson 
and Motueka. 

As at 31 March 2023, Oceania 
had 409 units under construction 
on eight sites in Auckland, 
Tauranga, Hamilton, Nelson, 
Blenheim and Christchurch. 
Despite the headwinds facing 
the construction sector, which 
have resulted in slight delays 
to two of our projects that 
were originally anticipated to 
be delivered in FY2023, we 
are making good progress 
on these developments. We 
expect to complete Stage Two 
of The Helier (Auckland) which 
comprises 17 apartments and 
32 care suites by the end of 
2023, 46 apartments at The 
Bellevue (Christchurch) in July 
2023, 55 care suites at Redwood 

(Blenheim) in August 2023 and 
28 apartments at The BayView 
(Tauranga) in November 2023. 
In addition to this we are forecast 
to complete the development of 
our 106 care suite development 
at Elmwood (Auckland) at the 
end of FY2024.

When Oceania acquired 
Bream Bay Village in July 2022, 
we also entered into an option 
agreement to acquire 6.7 hectares 
of greenfield development land 
adjacent to the village. The option 
agreement may be exercised 
once a plan change that is 
currently before the Whangarei 
District Council has become 
operative. Once this land has 
been acquired by Oceania, 
we will look to start building 
villas in a staged development.

Resident Experience

While Oceania has been 
on a quest to modernise 
and premiumise its physical 
building, landscapes and assets, 
we recognise that this alone will 
not deliver the required outcomes 
if our service offering has not 
been tailored to match the 
physical build. 

Oceania is therefore reimagining 
retirement living through its 
service offering, focusing on 
resident health and wellbeing, 
recreation and convenience. 

We were delighted to receive 
a Highly Commended award in 
the Readers Digest Trusted Brand 
Awards this year, recognising 
that Oceania’s vision to Believe 
in Better is resonating well 
with consumers. 

Oceania is well known for 
pioneering its innovative care 
suite product to reduce reliance 
on Government funding and to 
maintain attractive returns on 
capital. The care suite model is 
now well accepted by the market. 
We are continuing to see high 
levels of demand for our care 
suites, with 256 care suites sold 
in the year ended 31 March 2023 
(up from 240 in the year ended 
31 March 2022). Moving on 
beyond the concept of care suites, 
Oceania is continuing to innovate 
in this space, with its first fully 
privately funded care offering. 
This will provide residents with 
bespoke, personalised care while 
maintaining utmost comfort and 
enjoyment. Our residents will have 
the opportunity to decide the level 
of care services that match their 
needs and circumstances, without 
the restrictions imposed by the 
aged related residential care 
contract. We are excited by this 
new opportunity and are looking 
forward to welcoming our first 
privately funded care residents 
into The Helier later in the year.

Our team have continued 
their absolute dedication 
to delivering the very best 
of services, particularly 
with the observed weather 
events and more challenging 
macro-economic environment.

We welcome our new residents, 
alongside our wonderful existing 
residents. We have enjoyed 
your company, your stories, 
connections and daily life at 
Oceania and look forward to 
another rewarding year of growth. 

Brent Pattison

Chief Executive Officer

Oceania is focused on becoming an employer 
of choice and on developing a “Believe in Better” 
culture for its people.

People Capability

Oceania is, and has always 
been, a people business. We 
have approximately 3,000 staff 
delivering outstanding resident 
experience and service to our 
4,000 residents every single day. 

Given the challenging labour 
market, Oceania is focused on 
becoming an employer of choice 
and on developing a “Believe 
in Better” culture for its people. 
Over the last year, we have been 
refining our employee value 
proposition. It was great to see 
75% of new staff participate in 
our Employee Share Scheme 
offer again in September 2022, 
as well as the vesting of shares 
in September 2022 for those 
employees who joined the 
first scheme in 2019. 

We have recently completed 
our annual employee 
engagement survey and it was 
great to see not only a much 
higher level of participation but 
also an increased employer NPS 
score across the board. The 
survey showed that, despite 
the challenges presenting 
the sector, there is improved 
employee sentiment overall. 
We are reviewing the feedback 
that we received from the 

survey and are looking into 
how we can provide other 
financial and non-financial 
benefits to our people in order 
to appropriately reward and 
recognise them. 

Oceania is also committed 
to growing the capability of 
its people. There has been 
a noticeable shift in the 
professionalisation of its 
people over the last year. 
We are developing our learning 
and development programmes 
across all teams and continue 
to invest and grow our people. 

An example of this is Oceania’s 
Wesley Institute of Nursing 
Education. This provides both 
a Competency Assessment 
Programme for internationally 
qualified nurses to gain 
registration as a registered nurse 
in New Zealand, as well as a 
Return to Nursing Programme 
for New Zealand nurses wanting 
to return to the workforce after 
a period of absence. We have 
seen a significant increase in 
class sizes in recent intakes and 
it is great to be able to support 
the sector in developing career 
pathways for these individuals. 

Growth 

Oceania’s fourth strategic pillar 
is to deliver outstanding financial 
performance and sustainable 
growth. Oceania is a disciplined, 
prudent investor of its capital and 
we are taking a long term lens 
with respect to creating value. 

Despite the current head winds 
facing the sector, we continue 
to see a good level of enquiry 
for sales across our 48 sites. The 
sector continues to be supported 
by a growing population of older 
New Zealanders who are seeking 
improved security, lifestyle and 
health outcomes while remaining 
part of their local community. 

Furthermore, we are continuing 
to observe strong development 
margins and resale capital gains 
from sales of our independent 
living villas and apartments 
and care suites. 

Oceania is well underway in 
the execution of its strategy of 
delivering quality, sustainable 
and well curated environments. 
Oceania’s properties have 
substance, purpose and create 
wonderful community and 
connection for our residents. This 
coupled with an increased offer of 
tailored services, for our growing 
resident population, support our 
growth ambitions ahead. 

The Helier

Our premier development, 
The Helier, in St Heliers (Auckland) 
is an example of how the four 

strategic pillars have come 
together to create something 
that is really special. The Helier 
is reimagining the future of later 
life and will give our residents 
the opportunity to live in a 
way that has not been seen 
before in New Zealand. The 
independent living apartments 
boast bespoke details and are 
fitted out with quality materials 
and finishes. However, the 
amenities and services are what 
set The Helier apart from other 
retirement villages, with a range 
of dining, wellbeing and health 
wellbeing opportunities. Through 
the delivery of these first class 
services and facilities, The Helier 
allows its residents to maintain 
the luxurious and independent 
lifestyles they are accustomed 
to and value so highly, in a 
community that they love. 

We are seeing strong levels 
of enquiry from prospective 
residents who are looking to move 
into The Helier later in the year. 

Looking ahead 

This year has been an 
important year for Oceania 
as we demonstrate the 
advancement and successful 
execution of our strategy. 

Oceania continues to position 
itself well as the provider of 
critical infrastructure and 
essential services for older 
New Zealanders.

WEATHER EVENT RECOVERY 

All for one, 
one for all.

It was supposed to be a Valentine’s Day 
celebration – a shared meal, a few winks 
and a laugh, a smile or two shared but 
556mm of rain overnight put a dampener on 
that. February 14th, 2023 was a day like no 
other at Atawhai Village, a tale of a dark day 
that was illuminated by human warmth and 
compassion. This is how it played out.

This is an uplifting story about 
the power of kindness, how 
a community facing disaster 
looked to each other for help. 
No one could foresee the damage 
Cyclone Gabrielle would inflict. 
Knowing it was coming was one 
thing, knowing how the day 
would unfold was a mystery 
that developed by the hour.

Mark Renwick, our Atawhai 
Village Manager, exudes a 
gentle confidence and quiet 
resolve. He spent a restless night 
listening to the rain pound on 

his roof, the phone at his bedside, 
ready to respond if there was an 
emergency at the home. But that 
night passed peacefully, however, 
he still had a gnawing doubt 
about the day ahead. 

He made sure he arrived at the 
village early the next morning 
and did a quick tour of the 
property with the maintenance 
man, Gavin. Everything looked 
good. They were a bit short-
staffed and there were a few 
puddles, but apart from that, 
there was no apparent damage. 

They thought they’d dodged a 
bullet. What they didn’t know 
was that about a quarter of 
Napier’s annual rainfall had 
just fallen on the surrounding 
hills overnight. All that water 
was funnelling down the 
valley, picking up steam and 
debris, and one by one at least 
six bridges would be swept 
aside. And as each bridge and 
riverbank collapsed a surge of 
water rushed toward them.

At nine o’clock in the morning, 
Mark heard a rumour that 
the nearby river Tutaekuri had 
breached its banks. He jumped 
in his car and drove down 
toward the river and found a 
lone policewoman. He asked if 
the river had breached but she 
did not know. All communications 
and power in the area had 
suddenly gone down at 8.00 am. 

He told her, “I am from Atawhai 
with 130 residents,” 

She replied, “Just be ready 
to evacuate.” 

Atawhai Village Manager, Mark Renwick, with resident Phyllis

Everything just seemed 
to go so well, we were 
informed what we 
needed to do and it just 
fell into place. We just all 
supported each other.

Phyllis – village resident

A number of village residents took 
responsibility to organise their 
fellow residents from the village 
so they could self-evacuate with 
their cars. Everyone knew what 
to do and where to go.

Phyllis Jane, a six year resident 
of Atawhai summed it up, 
“Everything just seemed to go 
so well, we were informed what 
we needed to do and it just fell 
into place. We just all supported 
each other.”

Within a few hours, all 130 
residents had been safely 
relocated to an emergency 
evacuation centre at a local 
intermediate school. Although 
safe, it was still not an ideal 
situation for the residents. 

Oceania laundry team, Kirsty and Kim

There was an emergency plan in 
place, but the plan was designed 
for flooding from the sky, but 
this was flooding from the river. 
The official evacuation point was 
at the front of the property.

“If we’d followed the laid out plan, 
the residents would be up to their 
waists in water.”

At this point, things could have 
gone badly wrong. It was at 
this moment when everyone 
at Atawhai, residents and team 
members showed what their 
community meant to them.

There was no hesitation, everyone 
wanted to help. That day, only 
twenty out of thirty-five staff had 
been able to get into work and 
many of them were not able to 
do their jobs because the power 
was out. They also had their 
own homes and families to worry 
about but their first thought was 
to look after the residents of 

Atawhai. And when Mark asked for 
volunteers, there were no qualms.

Everyone rolled into action. 

The water was creeping ever 
closer, so the first step was to 
evacuate the residents from 
the care centre to the main hall. 
Many of them were bedridden 
and with no power their beds 
were frozen in whatever position 
they were in when the power went 
out, so they had to be moved.

Mark’s flight to the riverbank had 
brought Atawhai to the attention 
of the emergency services but 
they were stretched all over the 
Napier area. They were told they 
would have to evacuate. Gina, 
the laundry supervisor, had a 
brainwave. They would use the 
laundry truck to move bed-bound 
residents. It had a powered 
tailgate, so for the next five hours, 
they moved beds into the truck 
and ferried them to safety.

You expect great things out of your people 
but to see it delivered…it’s the team…
incredibly proud.

Deborah – Business and Care Manager

All they’d been able to take with 
them were their emergency bags. 
Keith is a resident of the care 
centre, he’d made sure his wife 
was safe and was able to grab his 
treasured walking stick he’s had 
since his fortieth birthday (given 
to him by a young employee and 
with the words “happy birthday 
you old stick” engraved on it) 
but very little else. “There was no 
panic whatsoever. I thought the 
organisation was excellent. The 
worst part of the day from my 
point of view was I spent about 
two hours sitting on a school chair. 
The most uncomfortable thing 
I ever sat on in my life.”

The kitchen staff from the home 
were fully aware of everyone’s 
plight. They had thought they 
were going to make a Valentine's 
meal in the dining hall that day, 
but instead, they collected all 
the food and took it down to 
the Evacuation Centres, so the 
residents and staff were fed and 
sustained with teas and coffees.

It wasn’t ideal but it was a start. 
What struck Mark was that 
everything the residents needed 
was back at Atawhai. There were 
no beds or no facilities for older 
people. Later that day, the water 
started to recede and with it, 
Mark’s reservations. After a few 
consultations, the decision was 
made to take everyone back to 
Atawhai. There was no power or 
lighting but it was their home.

It turned into a very long day. 
The water had receded but left 
a thick layer of slippery silt 
around the property. Six villas 
were totally flooded, and water 
had risen to within an inch of 
the care centre's front step. 

Keith’s treasured walking stick

Regional Facilities Manager, Clark, with residents Phyllis and Val Guest Services Manager, Mata, and resident Helen

Everyone was back home but 
the hard work was just beginning. 
The pragmatism of staff and 
residents would set the tone. 
Two residents, Helen and Val, 
wheeled out their barbecue and 
set up a meal station in the village 
hall. Two barbecues that would 
feed fifty people, two meals a 
day for a week.

Val remembers, “The first day I 
had mince and macaroni. I took 
them all out and we warmed 
them up. Someone else had some 
bread and someone else brought 
some sausages. There was no 
power so everything in the fridges 
would go off, so people offered 
up their food to the group.”

Deborah Dillon, the Business 
and Care Manager had been 
desperate to get in to help her 
team the day before. She tried 
every road and every bridge 
but could not get through. She 
was devastated and arrived two 
days later expecting the worst 
but found calm and order. 

“There were systems in place 
the kitchen was running, I was 
incredibly proud. You expect 
great things out of your people 
but to see it delivered…it’s the 
team…incredibly proud.”

It took a day to get a generator 
up and running for the emergency 
lighting and three days before 
another generator arrived to 
help power the kitchens.

The clean-up was a whole other 
story. Everyone came out to help 
shovel the silt out of the way to 
make safe passageways. They 
just rolled up their sleeves and 
got on with it. Residents came 
out to help. Staff came in with 
family members to help. Atawhai's 
loyal local plumber brought his 
family with shovels. Everyone 
went above and beyond because 
they cared deeply.

Oceania fosters a sense of 
connection and commitment 
to fulfilling the needs of their 
residents and the people of 
Atawhai exemplify that. What 
was high on Mark Renwick’s 
priorities after things had settled 
down? Finding out what could 
they have done better. What 
could they learn from that day 
from feedback sessions with 
the residents?

You cannot minimise the 
destruction that Cyclone 
Gabrielle left in its wake. Many 
people, including residents and 
staff at Atawhai lost everything, 
their homes, possessions and 
precious memories that those 
possessions captured. But this 
is a story of hope and humanity, 
about people who came together 
because they cared for each 
other. Words can’t convey how 
the people at Atawhai feel for 
each other, but their actions can.

Oceania fosters a sense  
of connection and 
commitment to fulfilling 
the needs of their residents 
and the people of Atawhai 
exemplify that.

KEITH’S STORY
“Our daughter lives in Knightsbridge. Her 
phone was out, our phone was out, no way 
of contacting her. We didn’t know whether 
Knightsbridge was underwater. How do we 
find out about her? I was talking to Nicky (a 
carer at Atawhai). We asked her if she knew 
what was happening in Knightsbridge and she 
came back the next day and said ‘I went out 
and talked to your daughter and she’s all fine.’ 
I was so thankful – she was a lovely person.”

THE LADY WHO THOUGHT 
SHE’D LOST EVERYTHING
At first glance, it looked like a disaster, but 
Village manager Mark Renwick was able to 
salvage some hope from a destroyed home.

“I managed to find some things in her villa 
when I was cleaning through. There was a little 
Highlanders doll, and she loves her rugby, I got 
that and gave it to her and when she saw that, 
her eyes lit up.”

Identifying our material impacts 

We undertook a review of our most material impacts, 
using the latest Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 
standards that came into effect on 1 January 2023. 

We have determined Oceania’s 
most significant economic, social 
and environmental impacts 
and these have informed the 
development of our refreshed 
Sustainability Framework.

The process for identifying and 
assessing Oceania’s material 
impacts across the company’s 
value chain, included 20 
one-to-one interviews with 
members of the Board, external 
independent experts, and 
stakeholder representatives, 
internal workshops with Oceania’s 
“future thinkers” and the executive, 
conversations with residents, and 
impact related sector research. 

The material impacts were 
then ranked according to 
their significance and grouped 
into themes. The prioritisation 
of the material topics has 
been reviewed and approved 
by Oceania’s executive 
and leadership. 

Although these material 
topics have been determined 
using the impact focused 
GRI standard, many of our 
previous material topics are still 
incorporated.1 Resident wellbeing 
and experience, as well as our 
people’s wellbeing, continues 
to be highly material and core 
to everything we do. 

Oceania takes an integrated 
approach to strategy, and 
we have grouped the material 
topics under the company’s 
four strategic pillars - Offer, 
Resident Experience, People 
Capability and Growth - to 
inform the aspirations and goals 
in our refreshed Sustainability 
Framework, out to 2030. Overall, 
this process has helped us to 
identify our most material impacts 
and prioritise our sustainability 
efforts accordingly.

1    Many of the FY2022 material topics have been grouped together e.g. those in the former Prosperity pillar would fit under governance 

and ethics. Others, such as competitive behaviour, are no longer considered to be material topics under the new GRI standard 
“materiality” methodology.

Material topic 

Description of the material impacts 

Greenhouse Gas 
emissions and climate

GHG emissions from corporate, village and aged care 
centre operations and embodied carbon. 

Waste and 
environmental impact

Resident wellbeing

Employment practices

Community and 
social wellbeing 

The impact we have on the environment including waste 
going to landfill, biodiversity and ecosystems, emissions 
and pollution from operations, water, and the opportunity 
to support a circular economy. 

Resident safety and security, provision of quality care, 
social connectedness as well as health equity of older 
Māori and Pacific peoples and the capacity and capability 
of clinical staff. 

Staff health and wellbeing can be affected by issues such as 
national workforce shortages, pay equity, health and safety 
and opportunities for professional development, and diversity 
and inclusion. 

Impacting the cultural value of land, accessibility 
and affordability of aged residential care options for 
older New Zealanders, supporting the public health system 
by helping to free up public hospital beds and training NZ 
and internationally qualified nurses.

Oceania is on a 
sustainability journey. 
Through the implementation 
of our refreshed Sustainability 
Framework, we will work to 
enhance the positive impacts 
we have as a company 
and minimise or prevent 
the potential negative 
impacts. We will learn from 
experience and adapt our 
approach accordingly.

Economic contribution

Through economic activity and job creation and adding 
to housing supply. 

Sustainable supply chain 

Environmental and social impacts of procurement choices 
and supply chain practices.

Governance, ethics 
and trust 

Trust levels with residents and their whānau through 
the provision of services to residents and ethical 
business conduct.

The updated GRI standards 
required us to evaluate 
our actual and potential, 
positive and negative, direct 
and indirect, impacts on 
the environment, society 
and economy, including 
human rights.

Offer

Our sustainability goals 
We want our villages to deliver true 
connection with communities, and 
tread lightly on the environment. 

Place based design
We acknowledge that every place is different and has its 
own set of cultural, environmental, community and social 
factors that shape its identity and character. We have an 
impact on the cultural value of land and on the community. 
Through conscious design choices and engagement 
Oceania will seek to reinforce the identity of each place 
and create a sense of belonging among the people who 
live and work there. We will work to codify our approach 
in respect of new developments to “design with a focus 
on the local environment, community needs and cultural 
values of each location”. 

Minimising environmental impact and supporting 
a circular economy
Through the design, build, and operation of our villages 
and care centres, we have an impact on the environment 
by consuming energy, water, and resources, generating 
waste and pollution, all of which can affect the land, 
ecosystem, and biodiversity. We are mindful of this impact 
and recognise that our goal to “minimise our environmental 
impact and support a circular economy” is important as 
we develop more villages and care centres into the future. 

Our FY2023 journey 

Waste 

Oceania has been measuring 
its key operational waste 
streams for a number of years 
and looking for ways to address 
waste. During FY2023, we 
successfully concluded the 
first phase of a trial focused on 
vermicomposting for incontinence 
waste management and we 
intend to initiate a phase two 
trial in FY2024. In collaboration 
with several other retirement 
village operators, we have also 
conducted research with the 
University of Otago's Toitū Te 
Taiao Sustainability Office, 
to report on international and 

national best practice with 
respect to reducing and dealing 
with incontinence waste products. 

In FY2023, we set targets, linked 
to our sustainability linked loan, 
to increase the diversion rate 
of construction waste away 
from landfill. As we continue 
to grow to meet the needs of 
New Zealand’s ageing population, 
sustainable management of 
construction waste will help 
to reduce our environmental 
impact. In FY2023, we exceeded 
our regional diversion target, 
and narrowly missed the target 
for Auckland by 0.5%.

Sustainable refurbishments

Following a pilot at our Eden 
Village in FY2023, Oceania 
has partnered with Waste 
Management and All Heart 
NZ to roll out sustainable 
deconstruction practices across 
Oceania’s portfolio, starting with 
the Auckland region. 

In the year ahead, Oceania 
will review its sustainable 
deconstruction options in relation 
to its build pipeline. As we review 
our Oceania Design Principles, 
we will also look to incorporate 
circular economy principles. 
These initiatives and pilots are a 
first step for us to gather data 
and set the foundation for 
future targets.

Resident experience

Our sustainability goals 
As a leader in resident experience, 
our aspiration is to enable residents 
to live a sustainable and fulfilled life. 

Conscious design and exceptional services
We recognise that we have an impact on residents’ 
wellbeing and feelings of safety and security. 
We have set a goal to “prioritise resident wellbeing 
through conscious design and exceptional services”. 

Engaging residents, our people and communities 
for social and environmental outcomes 
With over 4,000 residents and 3,000 staff, Oceania 
recognises it has a real opportunity to enable 
residents and staff to help create positive social 
and environmental outcomes for the community. 

Our FY2023 journey 

Increasing our ambition 
for Homestar and Greenstar 

Oceania is designing and 
building new retirement 
villages to the Green Building 
Council’s Homestar certification, 
prioritising environmental and 
health performance for the 
wellbeing of residents. 

Our design team are specifying 
our new development in Franklin, 
Auckland to 7 Homestar, as well 
as exploring the feasibility of 
Greenstar for its community 
building and care centre. 

We are exploring the use of 
the Green Building Council’s 
HomeFit programme for our 
refurbishments to enable greater 
resident comfort and wellbeing. 

Evidence-led design  
for dementia

We have completed our evidence-
led design of the new dementia 
centre in Meadowbank, Auckland. 
The design has been underpinned 
by ten research-led design 
principles developed by Oceania’s 
clinical team in collaboration with

Care resident wellbeing

As part of our sustainability 
linked loan, Oceania set a 
target in FY2023 to improve care 
resident wellbeing and experience 
through excellent quality care. 
We designed a tailored metric 
that focuses on Oceania’s model 
of care excellence, providing 
person-centred care, resident 
engagement, and including the 
residents’ own expression of their 
health and wellbeing. Oceania is 
pleased to report that it exceeded 
its FY2023 target.

Positive outcomes from the 
Nurse Practitioner model 

Over one third of our care 
centres have dedicated 
Nurse Practitioners, in place of 
contracted General Practitioners. 
Access to a Nurse Practitioner 
provides greater service flexibility 
and responsiveness leading to an 
improved care resident experience.

Five Ways to 
Wellbeing Programme

Following a successful trial 
we adopted the Five Ways to 
Wellbeing framework throughout 
our villages. This framework is 
an evidence-based approach to 
improving health and wellbeing 
and is endorsed by the Mental 
Health Foundation. We have 
trained our team members and 
redesigned our activity plans 
to ensure our residents have 
an opportunity to be actively 
involved in each important pillar. 

Collaboration with Fair Food NZ 

In FY2023, Oceania collaborated 
with Fair Food NZ, a non-profit 
that repurposes donated food to 
support vulnerable communities. 
Fair Food NZ enlisted Oceania 
residents to curate recipes for 
the donated food through a 
recipe competition. 170 entries 
were received, and the compiled 
recipes now serve as a repertoire 
for Fair Food NZ to create 
delicious meals by repurposing 
surplus food for those in need.

People capability

Our sustainability goals 
Oceania is working to build capability 
and develop a culture which enables 
its people to perform their life’s best 
work at Oceania. 

We recognise that we impact the health and wellbeing of 
our people through our workforce practices, professional 
development programmes and approach to diversity and 
inclusion, and that our people’s feelings of engagement 
and value can have a direct effect on resident experience. 
We know that external factors such as national workforce 
shortages, and pay equity, also impact on staff health 
and wellbeing. 

Our aspiration is to be an employer of choice. We have 
goals to “attract, grow and retain great people”, and to 
“provide a safe, diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace 
that fosters our people’s development and capability”.

Our FY2023 journey

Employee engagement 

We had higher participation 
rates and an increased employer 
Net Promoter Score (NPS) from 
our latest annual employee 
engagement survey. The results 
from the survey show that 
despite the challenges in our 
sector, employee sentiment has 
improved overall.

In FY2023 Oceania introduced 
a sector leading parental leave 
policy, which tops up the amount 
received from the Government 
over 26 weeks to employees’ 
usual pay for that period.

Health, safety and wellbeing 

Keeping our people safe is a key 
part of employee health, safety 
and wellbeing. 

In FY2023, during Mental 
Health Awareness Week, 
Oceania launched its Te 
Whare Tapa Whā employee 
wellbeing portal. Te Whare Tapa 
Whā is a metaphor based on 
the four pillars of a wharenui 

(meeting house) recognising when 
we look after all four aspects, we 
look after our hauora (wellbeing).

Our Employee Assistance 
Programme services continue 
to support our employees 
who require counselling for 
both personal and work-
related issues. In FY2023, we 
expanded our Employee 
Assistance Programme to provide 
support to our residents who were 
affected by the Auckland flooding 
and Cyclone Gabrielle. 

Training and development 

We continued with our 
clinical training and 
leadership programmes for 
Oceania registered nurse 
and healthcare assistants. 

In the year ahead, we will 
focus on developing learning 
and development programmes 
for our non-clinical staff.

Growth 

Our sustainability goals 
Oceania is pleased to make a positive 
economic contribution for its investors 
and stakeholders.

In FY2023, Oceania delivered 233 units and care suites 
helping to free up homes for purchase or rent as residents 
move into our villages, at a time when New Zealand faces a 
housing shortage. As an employer of 3000 staff, we create 
jobs for the local community and stimulate demand for 
goods and services. As part of our growth, we are mindful 
about integrating sustainability into our thinking, strategy 
and initiatives. We have set a goal to “adopt a long-
term value focus when making investment decisions 
and allocating capital.” This may require higher up front 
spending particularly in relation to development spend, but 
with the potential to create better long term value.

We know that as we grow, we will impact, and be impacted 
by, climate change. We have set a goal to “reduce our 
GHG emissions in line with our science based target 
and integrate climate resilience into our business.” 

Our FY2023 journey 

Commitment to a science-
based greenhouse gas 
emissions reduction target

We recognise the impact we have 
on the environment by generating 
greenhouse gas emissions 
through building and operating 
our villages and care centres. 
In FY2023, Oceania committed 
to the best practice international 
Science Based Targets initiative 
(SBTi) to set its GHG emissions 
reduction targets. Oceania has 
been measuring and managing its 
scopes 1, 2 and certain categories 
of scope 3 greenhouse gas 
emissions since 2019. Oceania has 
taken a detailed and considered 
approach in measuring its up 
front carbon that involved using 
the New Zealand Green Building 
Council embodied carbon 
calculations. Our emissions 
from embodied carbon relating 
to our developments and 
refurbishments is the main 
source of our total emissions 
profile2. We have undertaken 
a detailed measurement of 

The Helier, St Heliers, Auckland

this scope 3 capital goods 
emissions category and we will 
account for these emissions in 
the year that the construction 
or refurbishment completes. 

Emissions reduction plan

We are committed to reducing 
our corporate emissions and have 
updated our emissions reduction 
plan for how we will meet our 
proposed science based targets. 
The use of natural gas and LPG 
in operating our villages and care 
centres is a significant source of 
these emissions. Transitioning off 
gas is a key pillar of our emissions 
reduction plan and we no longer 
design for gas. 

Both the targets and 
emissions reduction plan will 
be submitted to the SBTi in 
FY2024 for verification. 

Energy efficiency

In FY2023, Oceania 
continued to implement 
energy efficiency measures. 

All new developments are 
designed and built with LED 
lighting. We also piloted a hot 
water heat pump system at our 
Te Mana care centre. The results 
have been pleasing, with a 30% 
gain in efficiency at the same 
time as increasing the much 
needed amount of hot water 
capacity required for Te Mana 
care centre.

With Oceania building to 
Homestar certification, and 
investigating the feasibility of 
Greenstar, these certifications 
ensure that buildings are 
designed and built efficiently 
to minimise greenhouse gas 
emissions once they are 
operational, through measures 
such as better insulation.

2    In FY2023 we rebaselined our emissions using a FY2022 base year, and conducted a full scope 3 (indirect emissions) 

materiality assessment. See our GHG Emissions Report for FY2023 and FY2022 on our website.

Preparation for 
Climate Risk Disclosures

Oceania has developed a 
roadmap to prepare the business 
for meeting the requirements in 
the External Reporting Board’s 
climate-related financial 
disclosure standards. 

In FY2023, Oceania has made 
progress on a number of key 
roadmap milestones. These 
include our governance structure 
relating to sustainability and 
climate, with the establishment of 
a Board Sustainability Committee 
and Management Sustainability 
Steering Group. Climate has been 
a key agenda item for both the 
Committee and Steering Group 
meetings since their inception. 

Oceania recognises it needs 
to proactively manage its 
climate risks and opportunities. 
In FY2023, we conducted a 
physical climate risk exposure 
assessment of our assets, and 
we are progressing with a full 
risk assessment. We were part 
of the Technical Working Group 
coordinated by the NZ Green 
Building Council to develop the 
sector scenario analysis for 
the building and construction 
sector. This analysis will help to 
inform our risk and opportunities 
assessment, including identifying 
transition risks. 

We recognise that our strategy 
and sustainability framework 
needs to be responsive to the 
identified risks and opportunities, 
over the short, medium and 
long term and we will adapt 
our response accordingly. 
Our refreshed Sustainability 
Framework details our goals 
in relation to climate and 
sustainability.

Oceania will release its first 
full mandatory Climate Related 
Disclosures report next year. 

Oceania recognises it needs to proactively 
manage its climate risks and opportunities.

CUSTOMER LED DESIGN AND SERVICE

The Helier 
by Oceania.

We thought, let’s wipe the slate clean 
and re-imagine the future of retirement and 
aged care living in a way that has never been 
seen in New Zealand. The result is The Helier 
by Oceania. This unique lifestyle design is 
equivalent to living in a 5-star hotel every day. 

It is retirement and aged care 
living that have been rethought 
from every angle. This stunning 
property has been developed 
with a deep familiarity and 
understanding of what is 
important to the residents 
in the local area. 

Located in the heart of St 
Heliers, on the edge of Glover 
Park, this bespoke Village offers 
residents 360-degree views over 
Waitemata Harbour and the 
Auckland CBD. It is the scenery 

that makes living in Auckland 
so special and The Helier by 
Oceania takes full advantage 
of this stunning panorama 
with its considered design. 

The Village is nestled in a 
suburban street. From the 
road frontage, it appears 
to be only two storeys high, 
as a clever and thoughtful 
design, which is stepped back 
into the cliff face, provides a 
sympathetic approach to the 
surrounding neighbourhood. 

OCEANIA ANNUAL REPORT 2023BETTER CONNECTIONCONTENTSCUSTOMER LED DESIGN AND SERVICE

While aesthetics are important, 
it is the amenities and services 
that take The Helier from lovely 
to luxury. The high-end hotel 
experience begins the moment 
you arrive at the door thanks 
to valet parking. The in-house 
concierge service allows residents 
to experience their own city in new 
and exciting ways, and a personal 
chauffeur is on hand to whisk 
them away to their destination. 

Naturally, health and wellbeing 
are front and centre at The Helier. 
A private gym and swimming pool 
make it simple to maintain fitness 
and a luxurious day spa will help 
residents to relax and unwind. 

There is also much to enjoy 
for gastronomes. Dining 
opportunities include a café, 
bar, 5-star restaurant and 
wine lovers can make use of 
an exclusive wine library. An 
executive chef service will also 
be available to deliver a private 
culinary experience to residents 
and guests in their apartments. 

Through these first-class services 
and amenities, The Helier allows 
its residents to maintain the 
luxurious and independent 
lifestyles they are accustomed to 
and value highly. We offer a place 
to live from not a place to live at. 

There are also care residences 
for those requiring a little bit 
more support. 

The Helier’s Private Care 
Residences provide premium 
healthcare, within luxurious 
surroundings, a level of care 
second to none. 

We are committed to providing 
personalised retirement and aged care living 
experiences that have the bespoke needs of 
the local communities at their heart.

This boutique private nursing 
model is unique to The Helier 
and provides residents with 
bespoke, personalised care while 
maintaining utmost comfort and 
enjoyment, thanks to the Village’s 
premier hospitality-led services. 

This exciting new Village 
was launched via a private 
function held in September 
2022 at Mantells in Mission 
Bay. Sir Graham Henry hosted 
this popular event and, like 
the experience at The Helier, 
it epitomised luxury. Initial 
demand has been strong. 

We are committed to providing 
personalised retirement and 
aged care living experiences 
that have the bespoke needs 
of the local communities at their 
heart. One size does not fit all, 
and it is our pleasure to develop 
living spaces and experiences 
that allow our residents to 
continue to live the lives they 
have been accustomed to.

COUPLE'S CARE SUITE

Celebrating togetherness 
in a Couple’s Care Suite.

Oceania is on a journey that will never end, 
to transform the retirement and aged care 
living experience. Listening and adapting, 
giving the physical and emotional well-being 
of our residents the highest priority. 

Take our Couple’s Care Suite 
as an example, it enables older 
couples to stay together if, and 
when, their needs increase. This 
ensures they are not separated 
from their greatest support 
network – each other. 

Our Couple’s Care Suite 
offering shows how Oceania is 
challenging norms and putting 
our residents at the heart of every 
decision, simply honouring love 
and protecting a couple’s right 
to age together. 

To celebrate this unique offering, 
we developed and launched 
a campaign called “The Duet” 
that portrays the love story of a 
couple through the years they’ve 
travelled together through love, 
togetherness – and a piano. 

Inspired by a true story from 
one of our resident couples 
at The Bayview, Tauranga, 
we were able to authentically 
deliver this powerful story with 
dignity, empathy and grace. 

We produced our own music 
to bring the story to life and 
shared this with residents and 
the general public who wrote 
to us asking for it.

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

 – Fair value of assets acquired in business combination (note 1.3(i))
 – Insurance proceeds from recent weather event (note 1.3(iv))
 – Classification of accommodation with a care or service offering (note 3)

 – Revenue recognition of deferred management fees (note 3.4) 
 – Fair value of right of use assets (note 3.5)
 – Recognition of deferred tax (note 5.1)

1.2 Accounting Policies  

(i) New Accounting Standards
No changes to accounting policies have been made during the year and the Group has not 
early adopted any standards, amendments or interpretations to existing standards that are 
not yet effective. 

(ii) 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 liability that are not based on observable market data 

(unobservable inputs). 

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

For the year ended 31 March 2023

General Information

1.1  Basis of Preparation

(i)  Entities Reporting 
The consolidated financial statements of the Group are for the economic entity comprising Oceania 
Healthcare Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together “the Group”). Refer to note 5.5 for 
details of the Group structure. 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of 
Oceania Healthcare Limited as at 31 March 2023 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year 
then ended.

The Group owns and operates various care centres and retirement villages throughout New Zealand. 
The Group’s registered office is Level 11, 80 Queen Street, Auckland 1010, New Zealand. 

(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 
consolidated 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 (“NZ 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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern 
basis of accounting, which assumes that the Group will be able to realise its assets and discharge 
its liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due into the foreseeable future.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet has been prepared using a liquidity format. 

(iii) Measurement Basis
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as 
modified by the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities, including investment properties, certain 
classes of property, plant and equipment, right of use assets and derivatives.

(iv) Key Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of the consolidated 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.

settlement of any appeals. As at 31 March 2023 Oceania Village Company Limited has not yet 
exercised this option.

Purchase consideration and fair value of net assets acquired
The purchase price was linked to the 31 March 2021 CBRE Limited valuation in respect of Remuera 
Rise and the 8 December 2021 Colliers valuation of Bream Bay Village Limited and both acquisitions 
were settled in cash. The acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method which 
requires that all identifiable assets and liabilities be assumed at their acquisition date fair value. 

The operations of Remuera Rise had an immaterial impact on Net Profit before Tax in the period 
since acquisition to 31 March 2023, of which $2.3m is operating revenue. If the acquisition had 
taken place on 1 April 2022 the impact of the operations on Net Profit before Tax would have been 
immaterial. The impact on the fair value movements in the period is disclosed in note 3.1.

The operations of Bream Bay added $1.7m to Net Profit before Tax in the period since acquisition 
to 31 March 2023, of which $2.5m is operating revenue. If the acquisition had taken place on 1 April 
2022 the impact of the operations on Net Profit before Tax would have been $2.0m. The impact on 
the fair value movements in the period is disclosed in note 3.1.

1.3 Significant Events and Transactions

(i)  Acquisitions
(A)  Waterford on Hobsonville Point (“Waterford”)

In the comparative period to 31 March 2022, Oceania Village Company Limited entered into a 
Sale and Purchase Agreement to purchase the business assets of Waterford on Hobsonville Point. 
Waterford is an established retirement village with 64 independent living villas and 36 independent 
living apartments. The Sale and Purchase Agreement was conditional on the parties obtaining 
Statutory Supervisor consent. This consent was received on 8 April 2021 and the transaction was 
settled on 23 April 2021 being the date of acquisition.

The business assets have been recognised as at the date of settlement and the future operating 
results consolidated from that point forward. 

Purchase consideration and fair value of net assets acquired
The purchase price of $56.2m, settled in cash, was linked to the 31 March 2020 CBRE Limited 
valuation of Waterford. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method as 
prescribed in NZ IFRS 3 Business Combinations. This standard requires that all identifiable assets 
and liabilities be assumed at their acquisition date fair value. 

(B)  Remuera Rise and Bream Bay

On 6 May 2022, a number of Sale and Purchase Agreements were entered into in relation to 
Remuera Rise and Bream Bay:

12 rest home beds. The Sale and Purchase Agreement was subject to the parties obtaining the 
consent of the Statutory Supervisor, the Ministry of Health and the Auckland District Health

 Oceania Village Company Limited entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Private 
Health Care (NZ) Limited and PGB Investments Limited to purchase the shares of Bream 
Bay Village Limited for a value of $18.9m. At the time of acquisition eight villas were under

30 September 2022 this amounted to $3.0m with all villas now occupied. Bream Bay Village is an 
established village with 83 independent living villas, including the eight villas under construction 
at the time of acquisition. The Sale and Purchase Agreement was subject to the parties obtaining 
Statutory Supervisor consent. This transaction was settled on 1 July 2022 which is the date 
of acquisition.

a number of claims relating to the flooding in Auckland on 27 January 2023 and Cyclone Gabrielle 
on and around 14 February 2023. Claims are progressing under both Material Damage and Business 
Interruption policies. As at 31 March 2023 the Group has received $1.2m (including GST) from our 
insurers as progress payments on claims with a further $0.3m received since 31 March 2023.

Accounting policy in relation to insurance proceeds
Insurance proceeds are accounted for as reimbursements under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent 
Liabilities and Contingent Assets. Insurance income, and related assets are recognised when 
recovery is virtually certain. 

The insurance proceeds and receivable in relation to these events have been included within the 
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are 
summarised below.

Statement of Comprehensive Income

The goodwill on acquisition of Remuera Rise and the gain on purchase of Bream Bay arise due to 
differences in the key assumptions within the external valuer’s valuations, including growth rate and 
discount rate, between the reference date for the acquisition and the settlement date. Goodwill 
created on the acquisition of Remuera Rise has been impaired in the year ended 31 March 2023.

- Freehold Buildings 
Insurance Proceeds – Other

Contingent liabilities
No material contingent liabilities with respect to any of the above mentioned transactions were noted 
during the due diligence process or since acquisition. 

(ii)  Disposal of leasehold interest
The Group has previously leased the Everil Orr site and assumed the role of Operator of both Care 
and Village operations. On 3 March 2023, the Group entered into a Deed with Airedale Property 
Trust, the lessor of the Everil Orr leasehold facility to exit the Group from the Everil Orr site. As a 
result the care operations were closed on 21 March 2023 and the lease terminated on 31 March 
2023. On 31 March 2023 the Group’s operating interest in relation to village operations at Everil 
Orr met the definition of held for sale. An amount of $1.1m in respect of the purchase of the Group’s 
operational interest was received in full on 3 April 2023.

Refer to note 3.5 for the carrying value of the village business.

(iii) Debt refinancing
On 9 May 2022 it was announced an agreement was entered into with the banking syndicate 
to increase total debt facility limits from $350m to $500m for a tenure of five years.

Balance Sheet
Insurance receivable

The Group assess impairment impacts as a result of the weather events and treatment of insurance 
proceeds for material damage and business interruption as follows.

Material Damage
Amounts incurred in respect of remediation in the period to 31 March 2023 have been recognised as 
additions to the properties they relate. Affected properties have been valued by CBRE Limited as if 
the remediation has been completed and as such, an estimate of remaining costs to be incurred to 
fully remediate properties has been calculated based on third party quotations and assessments 
and has been recognised as a reduction to the property value as at 31 March 2023. Refer to notes 
3.1 and 3.2 for impact on fair value.

These initial estimates are sensitive to the final remediation and the final insurance recovery for 
damage may differ from the initial assessment once final insurance instalments are received. 
As a result, the insurance recovery in respect of the material damage claim of $10.0m is subject 
to change.

1.3 Significant Events and Transactions (continued)

Other
In addition to recovery of the expected remediation costs, the Group seeks recovery of additional 
costs. These costs include business interruption costs and lost gross profit associated with the 
Auckland and Hawkes Bay sites which were impacted by the weather events and remediation. 
Initial recovery for these items is being sought from insurers where appropriate.

Income in relation to these items is recognised as other revenue when the costs or lost gross profit 
are incurred, and it is virtually certain that these costs will be reimbursed. The assessment of 
whether recoverability of these costs is virtually certain is a key judgement of the Group.

1.4  Market Capitalisation

At balance date, the market capitalisation of the Group (being the 31 March 2023 closing 
share price, as quoted on the NZX Main Board, multiplied by the number of shares on issue) 
was significantly below the carrying amount of the Group’s net assets and shareholders’ funds. 
In considering the difference, the Group notes that over 90% of total assets at 31 March 2023 
are property assets carried at fair value as assessed by CBRE Limited and Colliers Limited as 
independent valuers. Colliers Limited was also engaged to perform a review of the CBRE Limited 
valuation of certain sites in the portfolio comprising 38.1% of the total value of property assets. 
The review supported the CBRE Limited valuation. On 8 May 2023 a sale and purchase agreement 
was entered into with respect to two sites held for sale for an amount in line with the CBRE Limited 
valuation of these sites.

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 not by 
operating segment. 

The Group operates in New Zealand and comprises three segments; care operations, village 
operations and other.

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

Additional segmental reporting information 
Capital expenditure: Refer to note 3 for details on capital expenditure. 

Goodwill: Goodwill is allocated to care cash generating units.

What is Total Comprehensive Income?
Total comprehensive income is a measure of the total performance of all segments under 
NZ GAAP. It includes fair value movements relating to the Group’s care centres and cash 
flow hedges.

Underlying net profit after tax (“Underlying Profit”)
Underlying Profit and Underlying EBITDA are non-GAAP measures of financial performance and 
considered in the determination of dividends. The calculation of Underlying Profit and Underlying 
EBITDA requires a number of estimates to be approved by the Directors in their preparation. Both 
the methodology and the estimates may differ among companies in the retirement village sector. 
Underlying Profit and Underlying EBITDA do not represent cash flow generated during the year. 

The Group calculates Underlying Profit and Underlying EBITDA by making the following adjustments 
to reported Net Profit after Tax:

2.1 Operating Segments (continued)

The table below describes the composition of development and conversion costs.

Resale gain – Underlying Profit
The Directors’ estimate of realised gains on resales of ORA units and care suites (i.e. the difference 
between the incoming resident’s ORA licence payment and the ORA licence payment previously 
received from the outgoing resident) is calculated as the net cash flow received, and receivable at 
the point that the ORA contract becomes unconditional and has either “cooled off” (the contractual 
period in which the resident can cancel the contract) or where the resident is in occupation at 
balance date.

Development margin – Underlying Profit
The Directors’ estimate of realised development margin is calculated as the ORA licence payment 
received, and receivable, in relation to the first sale of new ORA units and care suites, at the point 
that the ORA contract becomes unconditional and has either “cooled off” or where the resident 
is in occupation at balance date, less the development costs associated with developing the ORA 
units and care suites. Where the development has been acquired in a business combination the 
development costs are equal to the purchase price.

The Directors’ estimate of realised development margin for conversions is calculated based on the 
difference between the ORA licence payment received, and receivable, in relation to sales of newly 
converted ORA units and care suites, at the point that the ORA contract becomes unconditional and 
has either “cooled off” or where the resident is in occupation at balance date, and the associated 
conversion costs. 

Included

New builds:

 – the construction costs directly attributable to the relevant project, including 
any required infrastructure (e.g. roads) 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 prorated basis using gross floor areas of the 
ORA units and care suites;

 – an apportionment of land value based on the gross floor area of the ORA 

units and care suites developed. The value for Brownfield1 development land 
is the estimated fair value of land at the time a change of use occurred2 
(from operating as a care centre or retirement village to a development site), 
as assessed by an external independent valuer. Greenfield3 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.

Conversions:

 – of care beds to care suites - the actual refurbishment costs incurred; and
 – of rental units to ORA units - the actual refurbishment costs incurred and the 

fair value of the rental unit prior to conversion.

Excluded

 – Construction, land (apportioned on a gross floor area basis) and interest 
costs associated with common areas and amenities or any operational or 
administrative areas.

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

1 
2   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 centre). 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.

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

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

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 longer of 
the term specified in a resident’s ORA or the average expected occupancy. The expected periods 
of occupancy are based on historical Group averages, for the relevant accommodation they are 
estimated to be 7 years for units, 5 years for apartments and 3 years for care suites from the date 
of occupation. Estimates of deferred management fee tenure are reviewed periodically. Where a 
change is made, it is the Group’s policy to recognise the aggregate impact of this change in the 
period in which the change in estimate occurs. 

Village Service Fees
Village service fees are charged to residents to recover a portion of village operating costs 
associated with services provided including staff wages, rates, and electricity. An ORA is in place 
with all village residents who receive the benefit of services throughout their stay. Village service fees 
are recognised over time as services are rendered.

Training Income 
Training income is received from students attending short term training courses at the Wesley 
Institute of Nursing Education. Income is recognised when the course is provided.

Rental Income
Rental agreements are in place with all rental residents and set out the relevant weekly / monthly 
rental fee. The resident receives the benefit throughout their stay and revenue is recognised as it 
is earned.

Accounting Policy
Revenue is recognised in accordance with NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“NZ 
IFRS 15”). Deferred management fees and rental income are considered leases under NZ IFRS 16 
Leases (“NZ IFRS 16”), and are therefore excluded from the scope of NZ IFRS 15. None of the Group’s 
revenue, as defined by NZ IFRS 15, contains significant financing components.

Rest Home and Hospital Service Fees
A contract is in place with all care residents by means of an admission agreement. The resident 
receives the benefit as the care is administered and each resident incurs a contracted daily care fee 
set by the Government each year. Rest home and hospital service fees are recognised at the point in 
time the services are rendered which is specifically linked to the day the service is delivered. Where 
applicable these are recognised net of any associated rebates to residents.

Aged care subsidies received from the Ministry of Health, included in rest home, hospital and 
dementia fee revenue within the care segment, for the year ended March 2023 amounted to $110.7m 
(March 2022: $99.7m).

Premium Accommodation Charges
Premium accommodation charges are payable by residents who occupy a premium room above 
the level specified by the Government. The charge is included in their admission agreement and the 
charge is recognised when the accommodation is provided.

Deferred Management Fees 
Deferred management fees are considered leases and are payable by residents of the Group’s units, 
apartments and care suites under the terms of their ORA or unit title rights. Refer to note 3.4. 

Management fees are typically payable on termination of the ORA 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 Group operates care centres and retirement villages. As outlined in section 2.1, village sites are 
typically investment property and care sites are typically property, plant and equipment. 

What is Investment Property?
Land and buildings are classified as investment property when they are held to generate 
revenue either through capital appreciation or through rental income. 

As residents occupying our retirement villages live independently, the level of services provided 
is seen as secondary to the provision of accommodation. Accordingly, these buildings are 
classified as investment property as they are held primarily to generate DMF income.

What is Property, Plant and Equipment?
Land, buildings and chattels are classified as property, plant and equipment when 
they are used to generate revenue through the provision of goods and services or for 
administration purposes. 

As residents occupying our care centres, including care suites, require services including nursing 
care, meals and laundry the buildings in which they live are considered to be operated by the 
Group to generate this revenue and are classified as property, plant and equipment.

What is a Care Suite?
Care suites are a premium offering for a resident requiring rest home or hospital level care. 
The care suite is located within a care centre. Rather than pay a daily premium accommodation 
charge for the provision of the premium room the residents enter into an ORA with a net 
management fee.

What is Held for Sale?
Assets are classified as held for sale when the carrying amount will be recovered principally 
through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

3.1  Village Assets: Investment Property 

49

Accounting Policy
Investment property includes both freehold land and buildings and land and buildings under 
development, comprising independent units, 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. Investment property is held at fair value. 

The fair value of investment property is determined by the Directors having taken into consideration 
the valuation conducted by CBRE Limited and Colliers Limited as independent registered valuers and 
the cost of work undertaken in relation to investment property under development.

The movement in the carrying value of investment property, net of additions, transfers and disposals 
is recognised as a fair value movement in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Fair value measurement on investment 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 development 
cannot be reliably determined, the carrying amount is considered to be the fair value of the land plus 
the cost of work undertaken. 

Where services are provided to residents who occupy accommodation under an ORA, it is the 
Group’s policy to assess their level of significance in the context of the overall income derived from 
the serviced apartment or care suite in ascertaining whether the serviced apartment or care suite is 
freehold land and buildings (referred to as property, plant and equipment) or investment property. 

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

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

Completed Investment Property
As required by NZ IAS 40 Investment Property, the valuation of investment property is adjusted for 
cash flows relating to refundable occupation licence payments, residents’ share of resale gains and 
management fees receivable recognised separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and also 
reflected in the valuation model.

The Group’s interest in all completed investment property was valued on 31 March 2023 by CBRE 
Limited and Colliers Limited, at a total of $744.7m (March 2022: $592.9m).

Property Specific Assumptions 

Seismic Assessments
The external valuations, and accordingly the fair value of investment property, incorporates 
an allowance in relation to remediation to properties where seismic strength testing has been 
carried out.

Weather Events: Auckland Floods and Cyclone Gabrielle
The fair value of completed investment property has been adjusted downwards for the cost of 
future works to be undertaken to remediate damage caused by the Auckland Floods and Cyclone 
Gabrielle, an amount of $7.7m.

Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements
All investment properties have been determined to be Level 3 (March 2022: Level 3) in the fair value 
hierarchy as the fair value is determined using inputs that are unobservable.

Significant Unobservable Inputs
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Group’s development 
land is the value per m2 assumption. Increases in the value per m2 rate result in the corresponding 
increases in the total valuation.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Group’s portfolio of 
completed investment property are the discount rate and property price growth rate. There are no 
interdependencies or interplays between unobservable inputs.

3.1  Village Assets: Investment Property (continued)

Where an incoming resident has an unconditional ORA in respect of a retirement village unit and 
the corresponding outgoing resident for that same accommodation has not yet been refunded, the 
independent valuation is adjusted for the incoming resident balances only. In certain circumstances 
accommodation under an ORA is valued as development land. In these situations the independent 
valuation is not adjusted for the refundable amounts and consequently no offsetting “gross up” is 
required. An adjustment of $33.1m (March 2022: $14.8m) is included in the above reconciliation to 
reflect this.

The valuation of investment property is adjusted for cash flows relating to refundable occupation 
licence payments, residents’ share of resale gains and management fee receivable recognised 
separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and also reflected in the valuation model. 

Why do we adjust for the liability to residents?
In the external valuation the fair value of investment property includes an allowance for the 
amount that is payable by the Group to residents already in occupation within the property. 
However, this liability to existing residents is recognised in the Group’s Consolidated Balance 
Sheet (referred to as refundable occupation right agreements – refer to note 3.4). Accordingly, 
the Group adds this net liability to residents to the external valuation to “gross up” the fair value 
of investment property and avoid double counting the liability to residents. 

Valuation Process and Key Inputs

Investment Property under Development
CBRE Limited and Colliers Limited (together the ‘external valuers’) provided valuations of 
development land in respect of investment property under development as at 31 March 2023. 

The fair value of investment property is determined by the Directors having taken into consideration 
the valuation conducted by the external valuers as independent registered valuers and the cost of 
work undertaken in relation to 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 the Directors’ valuation plus the 
cost of any work in progress. An amount of $59.5m as at 31 March 2023 (March 2022: $51.1m) has 
been recognised 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 and work in progress is apportioned between investment property under 
development and freehold land and buildings under development, by applying the estimated gross 
floor area for these respective areas of the development based on information obtained from the 
project quantity surveyors at the planning and design stages.

measurement.

Current ingoing price, for subsequent resales of ORAs, is a key driver of the CBRE Limited and 
Colliers Limited valuations. A significant increase / (decrease) in the ingoing price (as driven by the 
property growth rates) would result in a significantly higher / (lower) fair value measurement.

Accounting Policy 
Property, plant and equipment comprises owner-occupied freehold land and buildings and plant 
and equipment operated by the Group for the provision of care services, care suites and land and 
buildings that are to be developed into care centres in the future.

Following initial recognition at cost, completed owner occupied freehold land and buildings and 
land and buildings under development are carried at fair value. Independent valuations are 
performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially 
from the assets’ fair value at balance date. Any depreciation at the date of valuation is deducted 
from the gross carrying value of the asset, and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount 
of the asset. In periods where no valuation is carried out, the asset is carried at its revalued amount 
plus any additions, less any impairment and less any depreciation incurred since the date of the 
last valuation. 

All other plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment. Historical 
cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

In relation to land and buildings under development, fair value is determined by the Directors having 
taken into consideration the valuation conducted by CBRE Limited as an independent registered 
valuer and the cost of work undertaken. 

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. Fair value 
measurement on property under construction is only applied if the fair value is reliably measurable. 
Where the fair value of property under construction cannot be reliably determined the value is the 
fair value of the land plus the cost of work undertaken. Property under construction classified as 
land and buildings under development is revalued annually and is not depreciated.

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 expensed to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income during the financial period in 
which they are incurred.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings above cost are 
credited to the asset revaluation reserve in other comprehensive income; increases that offset 
previous decreases taken through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss. Decreases that 
offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against the asset revaluation reserve in 
other comprehensive income; all other decreases are charged to profit or loss. When revalued assets 
are sold, or held for sale, the amounts included in the reserve are transferred to retained earnings.

which case depreciation is charged to the earlier of the date of classification to held for sale or the 
date of sale. 

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 net disposal proceeds 
with the carrying amount of the asset. These are included in the Consolidated Statement of 
Comprehensive Income.

Land and Buildings Under Development
A valuation in respect of development land was provided by CBRE Limited as at 31 March 2023. 

Any costs incurred to 31 March 2023 on the developments are included in arriving at the fair value 
as at 31 March 2023.

The Group has applied the following methodology in relation to the measurement of land and 
buildings 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 the Directors’ valuation plus the 
cost of any work in progress. An amount of $63.9m as at 31 March 2023 (March 2022: $59.1m) has 
been recognised 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 and work in progress is apportioned between investment property under 
development and freehold land and buildings under development, by applying the estimated gross 
floor area for these respective areas of the development based on information obtained from the 
project quantity surveyors at the planning and design stages. 

Practical completion achieved
Where a development is practically completed, or likely to be completed at, or close to, balance date 
the land and buildings are measured at its completed fair value per the Directors’ valuation with an 
adjustment made for any estimated costs, in accordance with the project budget, to be incurred to 
complete the development, and is then transferred to completed land and buildings. 

Completed Land and Buildings
A valuation in respect of completed land and buildings was provided by CBRE Limited as at 
31 March 2023.

The valuation of the Group’s care centres was apportioned to land, buildings, chattels and goodwill. 
The fair value of land and buildings as calculated by CBRE Limited is based on the level of rent 
able to be generated from the maintainable net cash flow of the site subject to average efficient 
management. The fair value of the Group’s land and buildings as determined by the Directors is 
based on these apportionments. However, chattels are carried at historic cost less depreciation 
and the amount apportioned to goodwill by CBRE Limited is not recorded in the consolidated 
financial statements.

Care Suites and Serviced Apartments
As discussed earlier in note 3, where services are provided to residents who occupy accommodation 
under an ORA, it is the Group’s policy to look at the significance of these services in the context of 
the overall revenue derived from the care suite or serviced apartment in ascertaining whether the 
care suite or serviced apartment is property, plant and equipment or investment property. Care 
suite residents occupying accommodation under an ORA receive a significant level of services. 
Hence, they are included in property, plant and equipment. Care suite land and buildings are 
held at fair value.

Property Specific Assumptions 

Weather Events: Auckland Floods and Cyclone Gabrielle
The fair value of completed freehold buildings has been adjusted downwards for the cost of 
future works to be undertaken to remediate damage caused by the Auckland Floods and Cyclone 
Gabrielle, an amount of $1.8m.

Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements 
All land and buildings have been determined to be Level 3 (March 2022: Level 3) in the fair value 
hierarchy as the fair value is determined using inputs that are unobservable.

Critical Judgements and Estimates in Applying Accounting Policies

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 for further information.

Valuation of Freehold Land and Buildings
The valuation approach for the freehold land and buildings as at 31 March 2023 was 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 used for the 31 March 
2023 valuation range from 11.25% to 16.25 % with a median value of 12.50% (March 2022: 11.5% 
to 16.5% with a median value of 13.0%). The valuation was 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 development 
land is the value per m2 assumption. Increases in the value per m2 rate result in corresponding 
increases in the total valuation.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Group’s portfolio 
of completed 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.

3.3 Held for Sale

3.4 Refundable Occupation Right Agreements

Assets are classified as held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally 
through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of 
carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for investment property assets held for sale 
which are carried at fair value.

As at 31 March 2023 ten sites are being actively marketed for sale and as such meet the definition 
of held for sale. These sites and their respective land, building, investment property and plant and 
equipment have been reclassified for reporting purposes. As at 31 March 2023 one Right of Use 
Investment Property also met the definition of held for sale, refer to 1.3(ii)

Assets previously classed as Investment Properties and Right of Use Investment Properties are held 
on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value, assets previously classed as Property, Plant 
and Equipment are held on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at current valuation, which is the lower 
of fair value less costs to sell and the carrying amount. 

Changes in fair value from the date of classification to held for sale are recognised in comprehensive 
income. See note 3.4 for resident liabilities associated with these held for sale assets.

What is an ORA?
An ORA is a contract which sets out the terms and conditions of occupation of an independent 
living unit or care suite. 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 occupation licence payment is repaid to the exiting resident.

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

Accounting Policy 
The occupation licence payment becomes payable when the ORA is unconditional and has either 
“cooled off” or where the resident is in occupation. The Group has a legal right to set-off any 
amounts owing to the Group by a resident against that resident’s occupation licence payment. Such 
amounts include deferred management fees, recovery of village operating costs and recovery of 
outstanding obligations to the village. 

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

The deferred management fee represents the difference between the management fees receivable 
under the ORA and the portion of the management fee accrued which is recognised on a straight-
line basis over the longer of the term specified in a resident’s ORA 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 (March 2022: 7yrs, 5yrs, 3yrs). 

The management fee recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income 
represents income earned in line with the average expected occupancy.

Included in the obligation to residents is an estimate of the amount expected to be paid to those 
residents whose ORA or unit title arrangement 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 amortised cost, 
being the amount that can be demanded.

What’s a right of use asset?
Right of use assets are assets held under a lease arrangement. It represents the value of 
the lessee’s right to use an asset over the life of the lease. There is a corresponding lease 
liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet which represents the present value of the future 
lease payments.

Accounting Policy 
Right of use assets and lease liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present 
value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments. 
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in 
the measurement of the liabilities.

Right of use assets are initially recognised at cost, comprising of the initial amount of the lease 
liability less any lease incentives received. Right of use assets relating to equipment and motor 
vehicles, recognised in chattels, are subsequently depreciated using the straight line method 
from the commencement date to the end of the lease. Right of use assets relating to care centres 
are subsequently measured at fair value as determined by the Directors having taken into 
consideration the valuation performed by CBRE Limited. In considering the lease term, the Group 
applies judgement in determining whether it is reasonably certain that an extension or termination 
option will be exercised.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate Implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot 
be readily determined the incremental borrowing rate at the commencement of the lease is used.

Lease of Investment Property
The Group leased one site, Everil Orr, which met the definition of investment property. The site 
comprised both apartments and common facilities provided for use by residents under the terms 
of an ORA. Payments to the lessor under this lease were made as ORAs are sold. Subsequent cash 
flows upon the sale and resale of the units were shared between the lessor and the Group. 

On 3 March 2023 the Group entered into a Deed with Airedale Property Trust in respect of its 
leasehold interest at the Everil Orr site in Mt Albert in Auckland. Post that date the care building was 
closed and residents and employees were retained by Oceania and transferred to other sites across 
Auckland. The care operations were closed on 21 March 2023 and the lease terminated on 31 March 
2023. On 31 March 2023 the Group’s operating interest in relation to village operations at Everil

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRP”)
On 25 July 2019, the Board approved the implementation of a dividend reinvestment plan for 
New Zealand and Australian shareholders. This plan has been effective for all subsequent dividends. 
This plan shall also be effective for the dividend payable on 21 June 2023 at a discount of 1% to the 
volume weighted average price of shares sold on the NZX Main Board over a period of five trading 
days starting on 6 June 2023. The dividend reinvestment plan shall apply to those shareholders who 
have provided a participation election by 5:00pm on the dividend election date, being 8 June 2022.

Long Term Incentive (“LTI”)
On 15 September 2020 the Board approved a new Long Term Incentive Scheme for its senior 
executives (“LTI Scheme”). The LTI Scheme has been established to: 

 – provide an incentive to key executives to commit to Oceania for the long term; and 
 – align these executives’ interests with the interests of Oceania’s shareholders. 

Participants in the Scheme will be granted Share Rights from time to time which will, on vesting, 
convert into an entitlement to receive ordinary shares. Vesting will depend on achievement of certain 
performance hurdles relating to Oceania’s total shareholder return relative to the NZX50 and, for 
certain schemes Oceania’s performance against EBITDA targets.

Share Rights become exercisable if the holder remains employed on the vesting date and 
performance hurdles are met over the period from the commencement date to the measurement 
date, and in certain other exceptional circumstances. On becoming exercisable, each Share Right 
will entitle the holder to receive one fully paid ordinary share in Oceania Healthcare Limited, less an 
adjustment for tax paid on the holder’s behalf for the benefit received under the Scheme. The Share 
Rights have a nil exercise price. 

Performance Hurdles 
The Share Rights in the 2020 and 2021 grant are divided between two performance hurdles;

 – Share Rights will qualify for vesting on a straight-line basis, from 0%, where the total shareholder 

return (TSR) from the commencement date to the measurement date is equal to the 35th 
percentile of the NZX50 Group, to 100% where the TSR is equal to or greater than the 75th 
percentile of the NZX50 Group; and

 – For the second performance hurdle, Share Rights will qualify for vesting if the Group’s annual 
growth in underlying earnings (before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) per share 
(UEPS) from the commencement date to the measurement date is equal to or greater than the 
target for growth in UEPS for that period. 

The Share Rights for the 2022 grant are subject to one performance hurdle. Share Rights will qualify 
for vesting on a straight line basis, from 0%, where the TSR from the commencement date to the 
measurement date is equal to the 25th percentile of the NZX50 Group, to 100% where the TSR is 
equal to or greater than the 75th percentile of the NZX Group.

Lapse
 – Share Rights will lapse where the performance hurdles are not met on a relevant measurement 

date or, in general, where the participant ceases to be employed by the Group before the vesting 
date (except in certain circumstances).

Recognition and Measurement
 – On 18 November 2022, 1,430,150 share rights were issued for nil consideration and a nil exercise 

price in relation to the LTI Scheme for the provision of performance based remuneration in relation 
to the 2022 tranche.

 – On 6 September 2021, 1,078,125 share rights were issued for nil consideration and a nil exercise 

price in relation to the LTI Scheme for the provision of performance based remuneration in relation 
to the 2021 tranche.

Vesting
 – Of the 1,951,873 shares granted in respect of the 2020 LTI scheme a total of 349,007 have now 

vested and will be issued to the two remaining participants.

Dividends
On 24 May 2023, a final dividend of 1.3 cents per share (not imputed) was declared and will be paid 
on 21 June 2023. The record date for entitlement is 7 June 2023.

Employee Share Plan
On 27 September 2022, 1,174,602 shares were issued as part of an employee share scheme (“ESS”). 
All permanent employees as at that date were invited to participate. Full time employee participants 
were allocated an equivalent of $800 of shares and part time employee participants were 
allocated an equivalent of $400 of shares. The shares are held in trust and will be transferred to the 
employee if the employee remains employed by Oceania (or any of its subsidiaries) for the following 
three years. 

In the comparative year, on 7 December 2021, 937,213 shares were issued as part of the ESS.

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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 
Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year in which they are incurred.

The bonds are quoted on the NZX Debt Market and their fair value at balance date is based on their 
listed market price as at balance date. Interest on OCA010 is payable quarterly in January, April, 
July and October in equal instalments.

Interest on OCA020 is payable quarterly in March, June, September and December in 
equal instalments. 

Debt Financing
On 9 May 2022 it was announced an agreement was entered into with the banking syndicate to 
increase total debt facility limits from $350m to $500m for a tenure of five years as follows:

c) 

 Guarantor Group Coverage – at all times the Adjusted EBITDA of the Guaranteeing Group 
must be at least 90% of the Adjusted EBITDA of the total tangible assets of the Group; and

d)   Development – at all times the outstanding principal amount under the Development Facility 
shall not exceed the Development Value. Development Value (per the most recent valuation 
excluding any settled stock) is the aggregate value of all Residential Facilities in all Developments 
that are being funded by the Development Facility less their cost to complete.

The covenants are tested half yearly. All covenants have been complied with during the period. 
The definition of Adjusted EBITDA is as prescribed in the Syndicated Facilities Agreement 
and adjusts for non cash items and is based on the accounting treatment in use before the 
introduction of NZ IFRS 16 Leases.

i.  General Corporate Facility limit increased to $235m (formerly $85m); and

ii.  Development Facility limit remains at $265m

The facilities are held by a banking syndicate comprising ANZ, ASB and ICBC.

The entire debt facility is sustainability-linked for the entire five year period with an interest penalty 
in the event of the Group not satisfying certain ESG targets and an interest discount in the event 
that certain targets are met. 

Financing Arrangements 
At 31 March 2023, the Group held committed bank facilities with drawings as follows:  

Assets Pledged as Security 
The bank loans and bonds of the Group are secured by mortgages over the Group’s care centre 
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.

As at 31 March 2023 the balance of the bank loans over which the properties are held as security 
is $332.8m (March 2022: $154.8m).

The Group’s revolving Development Facility is utilised to cover costs associated with current 
development projects. The revolving General Corporate Facility is used for general corporate 
purposes as well as for development land and initial costs for projects not currently funded by 
the Development Facility.

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 in the Group’s senior debt facilities, with which the Group must 
comply include: 

a) 

b) 

 Interest Cover Ratio - the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Interest Charges, where interest 
charges relates to the interest and commitment fees in relation to the General Corporate 
Facility and retail bonds, is not less than 2.0x;

What is Current Tax?
Current tax is an estimate of the tax that is payable to Inland Revenue for the current 
financial year.

What is Deferred Tax?
Deferred tax is an estimate of income tax that will be payable or recoverable in respect of 
temporary differences relating to the accounting and tax values of the Group’s assets and 
liabilities. Deferred tax also includes the value of tax losses that we consider we will use in the 
future to meet any income tax obligation.

Accounting Policy 
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 Consolidated 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 balance 
date. The Directors periodically evaluate positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in 
which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. 

63

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 consolidated 
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, and losses can be utilised.

Recognition and Measurement 
No income tax was paid or payable during the year (March 2022: nil).

Key Accounting Judgements

Deferred Tax on Investment Property 
Deferred tax on investment property is assessed on the basis that the asset value will be realised 
through use (“Held for Use”). An initial recognition exemption has been applied to newly developed 
village sites in accordance with NZ IAS 12 Income Taxes.

The Group’s ORAs comprise two distinct cash flows (being an ORA deposit upon entering the unit 
and the refund of this deposit upon exit). In determining the tax base of investment property, the 
Group considered whether taxable cash flows are 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 the tax base and 
associated deferred tax based on the taxable cash flows being receivable at the end of the ORA 
period as this best represents the Group’s contractual entitlement. 

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 and deductible amounts as provided by external 
valuers, to the extent that it doesn’t relate to land. The Group uses the external valuers valuation of 
land and improvements to estimate the apportionment of cash flows arising from the depreciable 
(i.e. buildings) and non-depreciable components (i.e. land). 

Recognition of Deferred Tax on Tax Losses
After taking into consideration tax losses generated in the year to 31 March 2023, the Group now 
has an estimated $201.3m (March 2022: $130.3m) of available tax losses as at 31 March 2023.

The Group may recognise deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that the Group will 
generate future economic profits to offset the deferred tax assets or to the extent that they offset 
deferred tax liabilities. A deferred tax asset of $24.8m (March 2022: $3.9m) representing tax losses 
generated has been recognised as at 31 March 2023 in order to offset the net deferred tax liability 
position. All other available losses generated are held off balance sheet and are noted below:

The deferred tax liability recognised in respect of assets held for sale includes $7.9m relating to 
an expected taxable amount arising on transfer of the Group’s village operations at Everil Orr 
that completed on 3 April 2023 (refer to note 1.3(ii) for more details). This is expected to utilise 
approximately $28.3m of gross tax losses on completion of the transaction.

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 at least once annually for impairment at 31 March and 
carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairments are recognised in the Statement 
of Comprehensive Income. 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.

Key Judgements in Applying the Accounting Policies

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. Where computer software licences are housed in the 
cloud they are capitalised to the extent the Group controls the licence and has rights to the software 
beyond rights to access. These costs are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated 
useful lives (2.5 – 8 years).

Care CGUs 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 centres are 
disclosed in note 3.2.

Accounting Policy 
Trade receivables are amounts due from residents and various government agencies in the ordinary 
course of business and are recognised initially at fair value, being its transaction price, plus 
transaction costs. Trade receivables are held with the objective of collecting the contractual cash 
flows and therefore they are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method, less a provision for impairment. 

Occupation licence payment receivables are recognised at the point in time that an ORA becomes 
unconditional and has either “cooled off” or where the resident is in occupation, and the resident 
has not yet made all of the contractual licence payment to the Group. The long term portion 
of this receivable has been discounted by $0.9m (March 2022: $0.5m). All other receivables are 
considered current.

Impairment Test for Goodwill 
The carrying value of goodwill has been assessed on a site by site basis taking into account the sites 
results as a whole. An impairment is recognised when the carrying value of goodwill plus chattels is 
greater than the CBRE Limited value of goodwill plus chattels.

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. 

Goodwill in relation to the Everil Orr site has been impaired on termination of the lease.

Recognition, Measurement and Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies
The Group applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime 
expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and requires recognition from initial recognition of 
the trade receivable. To measure expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped and 
reviewed on the basis of the number of days since resident departure and the funding stream and 
type of debtor. Judgement is used in selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation and is based 
on past history and forward looking assumptions.

1 

Impairment charge in the 12 months to 31 March 2023 includes $0.8m in relation to the disposal of goodwill at leasehold sites.

1 

 Occupation licence receivable includes an amount of $64.2m in relation to short term occupation licence receivables expected to be 
recovered in less than 12 months. (31 March 2022: $43.2m).

The Group has applied a simplified approach to calculating the expected loss rate expected by 
applying a 2% allowance to trade receivables from care operations and 0% from village operations, 
adjusted for any other known factors with respect to individual debts. 

There is no significant concentration of credit risk as trade receivables relate to individual residents

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.

1  Sundry payables include $0.1m (March 2022: $0.1m) relating to cash held on behalf of residents.

 The business operations and assets of Bream Bay Village Limited were sold to Oceania Village Company Limited on 30 September 2022 
at carrying amount. Subsequent to this date the company is dormant.

5.6 Financial Risk Management (continued)

Classification and measurement 
Financial assets are required to be classified into three measurement categories: those measured 
at fair value through profit and loss, those measured at fair value through other comprehensive 
income and those measured at amortised cost. The determination is made at initial recognition. The 
classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing its financial instruments and 
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. Trade receivables are amounts due from 
residents and various government agencies held to collect contractual cash flows in the ordinary 
course of business. These balances are held at amortised cost less a provision for impairment.

Risk management is carried out centrally by management under policies approved by the Board of 
Directors. The Directors provide 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)  Fair Value Estimation
All financial assets (cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and certain right of use 
assets) and financial liabilities (trade and other payables, lease liabilities and bank borrowings), 
other than derivatives, are measured at amortised cost, which approximates to fair value. Financial 
liabilities measured at amortised cost are fair valued using the contractual cash flows. In considering 
the fair value of interest bearing assets and liabilities the estimated future interest rates approximate 
the discount rates used in a fair value assessment.

(b)  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. 

(c)  Cash Flow 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 Directors on a monthly basis. The Directors monitor 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 Directors for consideration 
and seek Director approval prior to entering into any interest rate swaps. 

The following table shows the sensitivity of the Group’s Profit / (Loss) and equity to a movement in 
interest rates of +/-1%. This assumes all other variables remain constant.

Interest Rate Swaps
It is the Group’s policy to manage 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 short to medium term 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. 

Interest swaps are assessed for effectiveness at each reporting period. A retrospective calculation 
will be used to determine the amount of any ineffectiveness to recognised in comprehensive income.

The expected causes of ineffectiveness are as follows:

 – Credit risk of the bank;
 – Insufficient level of floating rate debt;
 – Differing interest settlement dates; or
 – Inter Bank Offered Rate (“IBOR”) reform if the BKBM rate is replaced with another measure.

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 (gain of 
$1.5m, March 2022: gain $6.7m), while the ineffective portion is recognised in other expenses in the 
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (nil impact, March 2022: gain $0.5m). Amounts 
taken to the interest rate reserve are transferred out of the reserve 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 Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

5.6 Financial Risk Management (continued)

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. Of the interest rate swaps in place at 31 March 2023, 
$100.0m (March 2022: $175.0m) are being used to cover approximately 30.1% (March 2022: 113%) of 
the loan principal outstanding. Bank loans of the Group currently bear an average fixed interest rate 
(including margin and line fees) of 4.1% (March 2022: 4.1%). The fair value of these agreements at 
31 March 2023 is a $6.0m asset (March 2022: $3.9m asset). The agreements cover notional amounts 
for a period of 3 years, 5 years, and 7 years. 

The notional principal amounts and the period of expiry of the interest rate swap contracts are

(d)  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. Other 
than on a small number of exceptions, 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 Consolidated Balance Sheet represent the maximum 
credit risk. 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 March 2023 is AA- 
(March 2022: AA-).

The Group’s receivables represent distinct trading relationships with each of the residents. There are 
no concentrations of credit risk with residents. Large receivables generally relate to the residential 
care subsidies which are received from Te Whatu Ora and Work and Income New Zealand. Neither of 
these entities has demonstrated, or is considered, a credit risk.

(e)  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.

Description of the key audit matter 

Valuation of investment property and 
freehold land and buildings  
As disclosed in note 3.1 of the 
consolidated financial statements, the 
Group’s investment property portfolio was 
valued at $1,597.7 million at 31 March 
2023, which includes completed 
investment property and investment 
property under development.  

In addition, freehold land and buildings 
disclosed in note 3.2 of the consolidated 
financial statements, which are classified 
as Property, Plant and Equipment, are 
valued at $694.6 million at 31 March 2023. 
This includes freehold land and buildings 
operated by the Group for the provision of 
care services, care suites, and land and 
buildings to be developed into care 
facilities in the future (together referred to 
as freehold land and buildings). 

The Group’s accounting policy is to 
measure these assets at fair value. 

Independent valuations of all investment 
property and freehold land and buildings 
were carried out by third party valuers, 
either CBRE Limited, or Colliers Limited 
(the Valuers).  

Completed investment property and care 
suites are recorded in the consolidated 
financial statements at a Directors’ 
valuation which is based on the value 
determined by the Valuers as at 31 March 
2023, adjusted by the Directors for: 
●  the estimated costs to be incurred to:  
–  complete the development of any 

asset not complete at the date of the 
valuation 

–  remediate any assets which have 
sustained damage due to weather 
events or where seismic 
strengthening works are required  
but have been valued by the Valuers 
as if it was complete; and  
●  completed investment property, 
refundable occupation licence 
payments, residents’ share of resale 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 
Our audit procedures focused on obtaining sufficient 
audit evidence to evaluate whether the inclusion of 
the valuations in the consolidated balance sheet and 
disclosures made in the consolidated financial 
statements were materially appropriate. 

Our procedures included: 

External valuations 
We read the valuation reports and, on a sample 
basis, discussed the reports with the Valuer 
responsible for preparing the report. We assessed the 
valuation approach and confirmed that this was in 
accordance with the relevant accounting standards. 

On a sample basis, we tested whether property 
specific information supplied to the Valuers by the 
Group reflected the underlying property records held 
by the Group. 

From our discussions with management and the 
Valuers, and from our review of the valuation report, 
on a sample basis, assumptions (as detailed in the 
description of this Key Audit Matter) were determined 
for each individual property to reflect its 
characteristics, its overall quality, geographic location 
and desirability as a whole. 

Valuation adjustments 
We tested the adjustments made to the valuations 
determined by the Valuers as at 31 March 2023 as 
detailed in the description of this Key Audit Matter. 
This testing included: 
●  obtaining quantity surveyors reports, on a sample 
basis, to support the estimated cost to complete 
and/or remediate as at 31 March 2023 

●  obtaining support for a sample of transactions 

included in work in progress as at 31 March 2023 

●  testing inputs into the gross up calculation 

including:  
–  utilising our data workflow tool to: 

○  check the carry over of existing resident 

data, which comprises refundable 
occupation licence payments in place as at 
31 March 2022  

– 

○  recalculate management fees receivable  
testing a sample of new refundable occupation 
licenses entered into during the year ended 31 
March 2023  

Description of the key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

gains and management fees receivable 
which are recognised separately on the 
consolidated balance sheet and also 
reflected in the Valuers’s cash flow 
model, representing the ‘gross up’. 

For each completed investment property 
and each care suite, assumptions and 
estimates were made in respect of: 
●  property price growth rate; 
●  stabilised occupancy periods; and 
●  discount rate. 

Investment property under development 
and land and buildings to be developed 
into care facilities in the future are 
recorded in the consolidated financial 
statements at a Directors’ valuation which 
is based on a range of values determined 
by the Valuers as at 31 March 2023, 
adjusted by the Directors for the cost of 
any work in progress. 

For each asset under development, 
assumptions and estimates were made in 
respect of the value per square metre of 
land. 

Freehold land and buildings operated by 
the Group for the provision of care services 
are recorded in the consolidated financial 
statements at a Directors’ valuation which 
is based on the value determined by the 
Valuers as at 31 March 2023. 

For each property, assumptions and 
estimates are made in respect of: 
● 

forecast net cash flow profit/earnings 
before interest, tax, depreciation, 
amortisation, and rent; and 

●  capitalisation rate. 

As outlined in note 1.4 of the consolidated 
financial statements, the market 
capitalisation of the Group was below the 
carrying value of the Group’s net assets. 
Over 90% of the total assets of the Group 
as at 31 March 2023 are property assets 
carried at fair value.  

The valuation of the Group’s property 
portfolio is inherently subjective. The 

–  obtaining the calculation of the resident’s share 
of capital gains and, on a sample basis, testing 
inputs used in this calculation. 

Assumptions and estimates 
Our work over the assumptions focused on the 
largest properties within 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. 

On a sample basis, we held discussions with the 
Valuers to gain an understanding of the assumptions 
and estimates used and the valuation methodology 
applied. This included understanding any changes 
made to significant inputs and assumptions. We also 
sought to understand and consider restrictions 
imposed on the valuation process (if any) and the 
market conditions at balance date. 

On a sample basis, we engaged our in-house expert 
to challenge the work performed by the Valuers and 
assess the reasonableness of the assumptions used 
based on their knowledge gained from reviewing 
valuations of similar properties, known transactions 
and available market data. 

On a sample basis, we understood the apportionment 
of the valuations to each class of assets and 
assessed the reasonableness of this through 
discussions with the Valuers and our in-house expert. 

Valuation estimates 
Because of the judgement involved in determining 
valuations for individual properties and the existence 
of alternative assumptions and valuation methods, 
there is a range of values which can be considered 
reasonable when evaluating the independent property 
valuations used by the Group. If we identified an error 
in a property valuation or determined that the 
valuation was outside of a reasonable range, we 
evaluated the error or difference to determine if there 
was a material misstatement in the consolidated 
financial statements. 

We considered whether there were any events 
subsequent to the date of the Valuers’ report which 
may have caused the valuation of investment 
property and freehold land and buildings to be 
materially different to those determined by the 
Valuers.

I N D E P E N D E N T   AU D I TO R ’ S   R E P O R T  (continued)
To the shareholders of Oceania Healthcare Limited

Description of the key audit matter 
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. 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 
We considered management’s assessment of the 
Group’s market capitalisation compared to the 
Group’s net assets. This analysis was completed as 
part of our assessment of indicators of impairment.  

We considered the adequacy of the disclosures made 
in note 3 and note 1.4 to the consolidated financial 
statements. These notes explain that there is 
significant estimation uncertainty in relation to the 
valuation of investment property and freehold land 
and buildings. 

Deferred tax on investment property 
and care suites 
As disclosed in note 5.1 of the 
consolidated financial statements, the 
Group assesses deferred tax on 
investment property and care suites on the 
basis that the asset value will be realised 
through use (‘Held for Use’). 

Assumptions with respect to realisation through 
held for use 
With respect to the assumptions used in the 
calculation of deferred tax, we challenged the work 
performed and assessed the reasonableness of the 
assumptions based on our knowledge of the tax 
legislation and other accepted approaches in the 
industry.  

In applying the Held for Use methodology, 
the Group makes four key assumptions 
which involve significant judgement: 
1.  Determining the amount of taxable cash 

flows; 

2.  Timing of taxable cash flows, being at 

the end of the Occupation Right 
Agreement (ORA) period; 
3.  Apportionment of the value of 

investment property between land and 
buildings; and 

4.  Determining the number of years that 
commercial investment property is 
expected to be in use and depreciable 
for tax purposes. 

Due to the significant judgement exercised 
by the Group in determining the deferred 
tax on investment property and care suites, 
we have given specific audit focus and 
attention to this area. 

1.  Determining the amount of taxable cash flows 
We agreed the amount of taxable cash flows of 
investment property and care suites to the Valuers’ 
report, which is based on materially the same 
assumptions and estimates used in the valuation of 
investment property and care suites described 
above.  

2.  Timing of taxable cash flows 
We tested a sample of new ORAs to confirm that the 
Deferred Management Fees (DMF) are contractually 
earned at the end of the ORA period.  
3.  Apportionment of investment property  
We have agreed the inputs to the apportionment 
calculation to the Valuers’ land valuation and 
recalculated the apportionment between land and 
buildings. 
4.  Determining the number of years that 

commercial investment property is expected to 
be depreciable for tax purposes 

We determined a reasonable range for the expected 
period in which the relevant assets will be in use and 
depreciable for tax purposes. Management’s 
judgement was within this range. 

Our audit approach 

Overview 

Overall group materiality: $2.4 million, which represents approximately 1% of 
revenue. 

We chose 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.  

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. 

As reported above, we have two key audit matters, being: 
●  Valuation of investment property and freehold land and buildings 
●  Deferred tax on investment property and care suites 

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material 
misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In particular, we considered where 
management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates 
that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all 
of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among 
other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material 
misstatement due to fraud. 

Materiality 
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material 
misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if, 
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.  

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. 

How we tailored our group audit scope 
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion 
on the 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. 

Other information  
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements 
and our auditor's report thereon. 

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do 
not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.  

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

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.

Remuneration Report

Remuneration Overview
Oceania presents this remuneration overview for the year ended 31 March 2023. This overview 
provides details of Oceania’s approach to remuneration including incentive plans for executives that 
were in place for the year ended 31 March 2023 and remuneration received by the Chief Executive 
Officer (CEO) and the Directors. 

Remuneration Principles
It is recognised that in order to drive sustainable business performance and execute the strategic 
plan, Oceania must attract and retain people of a high calibre with requisite expertise. Accordingly, 
the Board sets the remuneration of executives with regard to this and other business objectives.

It is Oceania’s policy to align components of executive remuneration with the performance of 
Oceania and its shareholders. Executive remuneration therefore comprises both fixed and “at risk” 
(or performance-based) elements which are both short and long-term in nature. The purpose of 
this policy is to ensure that the interests of the executives, Oceania and its shareholders are aligned 
during the period over which the business results are realised.

As a result, the remuneration framework is structured to promote the long-term sustainable growth 
of Oceania with a portion of performance-based senior executive remuneration awarded as rights 
to equity.

Remuneration Governance
Oceania has established a People and Culture Committee to assist the Board in the conduct of the 
Board’s responsibilities with regard to people and culture, including remuneration. The People and 
Culture Committee Charter can be found at oceaniahealthcare.co.nz/investor-centre/governance.

The People and Culture Committee is responsible for:

 – Reviewing and recommending changes to Oceania’s remuneration structure, people policies, 

procedures and practices, objectives and performance; 

 – Reviewing and recommending changes to the remuneration of the CEO and executives, 

having regard to Oceania’s strategy, vision, values, business objectives and performance, the 
responsibilities and performance of executives and the general external market; and

 – Reviewing and recommending changes to Director fees, taking into account the external market, 
work load, succession planning and the need to offer competitive fees to attract and retain non-
executive Directors of a high calibre.

The Board is responsible for:

 – Approving changes to Oceania’s remuneration structure, people policies, procedures and 

practices, objectives and performance;

 – Approving changes to the remuneration of the CEO and executives; and
 – Recommending changes to non-executive Director remuneration, for approval by shareholders. 

The members of the People and Culture Committee during the year ended 31 March 2023 were 
Sally Evans (Chair), Elizabeth Coutts and Alan Isaac.

Executive Remuneration Framework 
Oceania’s remuneration structure for executives, including the CEO, comprises three elements:

 – Total fixed remuneration (TFR);
 – Short term incentive (STI); and
 – Long term incentive (LTI). 

The following summarises each component of executive remuneration. A summary of the 
remuneration of the CEO, Brent Pattison, is set out below. 

a. Total Fixed Remuneration
Fixed remuneration includes base salary, the provision of a carpark, a vehicle allowance (in 
some cases) and Kiwisaver contributions. Each executive’s fixed remuneration is set based on the 
individual’s position, market relativity, and the individual’s qualifications and experience. TFR is 
reviewed annually. 

b. Short Term Incentive
The STI is currently a cash payment which is dependent on the achievement of a combination of 
Oceania and individual performance measures and is capped at a maximum achievement of 100% 
of base salary.

The performance measures are set by reference to the executive’s responsibility and particular 
projects relevant to that executive and the business or function for which they are responsible. 
The purpose of the STI is to reward executives for meeting measurable objectives linked to a 
financial year. 

The table below sets out the key terms for the STI plan granted to executives during the year ended 
31 March 2023.

Feature

c.  Long Term Incentive
For the year ended 31 March 2023, Oceania had a performance share rights plan as its LTI for 
the executive team. The value and targets for the LTI plan are determined by the Board and are 
designed to provide an incentive to executives, retain key talent within the executive team and 
align the interests of the executive team and shareholders through the successful execution of 
Oceania’s strategy. 

The table below sets out the key terms for the grants made to executives under the LTI plan during 
the year ended 31 March 2023:

Feature

Eligibility

Approach

The Board determines whether an LTI plan will operate and the extent 
(if any) to which each executive is invited to participate in an LTI plan 
each year.

Feature

Approach

Performance hurdle

TSR Performance Hurdle: Oceania’s total shareholder return (TSR) 
in the performance period relative to total shareholder return of the 
NZX50 group of companies. If Oceania is in the bottom quartile of TSR 
performance for the NZX50 group, then no Performance Share Rights 
will become Qualifying Share Rights. If Oceania is between 25% and 
75% of TSR performance for the NZX50 group, then Performance 
Share Rights will become Qualifying Share Rights on a sliding scale. 
If Oceania is in the top quartile of TSR performance for the NZX50 
group, then 100% of Performance Share Rights will become Qualifying 
Share Rights. 

Dividends and voting rights

Performance Share Rights do not have voting rights or entitlement to 
dividends.

Instrument

Participants receive an allocation of Performance Share Rights. 

Cessation of employment

Participants are granted a share right dollar allocation as assessed 
by the Board with reference to external benchmarking. The number 
of Performance Share Rights to be allocated to each participant 
is determined based on the volume weighted average share price 
(VWAP) calculated over a 20 working day period on either side of the 
year end results announcement.

If the performance hurdle is met at the end of a performance period, 
some or all of the Performance Share Rights will become Qualifying 
Share Rights. 

If the participant remains employed with Oceania until the vesting 
date, the Qualifying Share Rights will vest and be eligible for 
conversion into ordinary shares in Oceania for nil consideration.

Vesting

On conversion, participants will receive one ordinary share per 
Qualifying Share Right, less an adjustment for the amount of PAYE tax 
paid by Oceania on the participant’s behalf for the benefit which the 
participant receives from the scheme. 

 – If a participant ceases to be employed due to an Involuntary Event 
(such as death, redundancy or total permanent illness or injury), 
the Board may, in its absolute discretion, determine whether the 
participant’s Qualifying Share Rights and any other Performance 
Share Rights may be retained by the participant as if he or she 
remained employed by Oceania, or whether the vesting of such 
Qualifying Share Rights and any other unvested Performance Share 
Rights may be accelerated. Any Performance Share Rights that are 
not retained or vested will lapse.

 – If a participant ceases to be employed for any other reason, all 
of the participant’s Performance Share Rights, including any 
Qualifying Share Rights, will lapse.

Although Performance Share Rights become Qualifying Share Rights 
at the end of each financial year (subject to meeting the performance 
hurdle), participants must wait until the vesting date for the Qualifying 
Share Rights to become eligible to convert into ordinary shares. The 
vesting date is 31 March 2025.

Performance period

There are three performance periods, each applying to one third of 
the Performance Share Rights in a grant, including:

 – one year from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023;
 – two years from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2024; and
 – three years from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2025.

In addition to the grant summarised above, there was a small grant of 2020/2023 Performance 
Share Rights to the CEO to reflect an entitlement under the CEO’s employment contract for the year 
ended 31 March 2021. This is summarised further under “LTI Payment” below.

The Board is currently considering the structure of the LTI grant for the year ended 31 March 2024.
