Manager's Report
Distributions of 9.75cpu delivered, underpinned by occupancy increasing to 98.6% and structured rent reviews.
Tēnā koutou,
Northwest Healthcare Properties Management Limited (Northwest), the Manager of Vital Healthcare Property Trust (Vital), is pleased to report Vital's results for the year ended 30 June 2025 (FY25).
FY25 highlights included:
Like-for-like net property income (NPI) up 3.7%1.
Enhanced occupancy of 98.6% with over 9,400sqm of vacancy leased, primarily space at recently completed developments.
Distributions of 9.75cpu (consistent with guidance) delivered on a 93.6% AFFO pay-out ratio.
Completed $1.1b debt refinance, delivering improved terms and longer duration.
Delivered two value enhancing developments:
A$16.0m expansion of Maitland Private Hospital (NSW), completed in September 2024. This expansion provided additional mental health and surgical beds, day oncology chairs, consulting suites and car parking.
Stage 2 ($91.5m) of Vital's $141.4m investment into the redevelopment of Wakefield Hospital (WGN). This state-of-the-art facility was officially opened by the Hon. Simeon Brown, Minster of Health in February 2025.
Commenced an $11.5m capacity expansion of Wakefield Hospital in June 2025.
Awarded Sector Leader (the highest possible achievement) by GRESB for ESG in healthcare for listed entities globally for development.
Profitability of our underlying hospital tenants improved with key rental affordability metric increasing to 57% from 51%.2
Our commitment to sustainability
Vital's approach to sustainability is grounded in understanding and addressing the ways our operations affect both people and the environment. We remain committed to actively enhancing our long term sustainability outcomes, both commercially and for the communities in which we operate.
In FY25 we released our first climate-related disclosure, aligned with the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards developed by the External Reporting Board (XRB). This sets out our climate governance, strategic priorities, risk approach and performance measures.
Key highlights this year include:
Submission to GRESB for the fifth consecutive year, demonstrating continued transparency and performance benchmarking. Results are expected in October 2025.
Commenced climate-resiliency property assessments to better understand and manage physical climate risks.
Achieved 6 Star Green Star Design & As Built certifications at Playford Health Hub Stage 2 and the GenesisCare Integrated Cancer Centre, seeking to deliver sustainable design, construction and resilient properties.
Continued implementation of our Refiect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), tracking against key initiatives that support reconciliation and cultural awareness.
Leveraged an industry-leading modern slavery platform, with suppliers actively participating in risk assessments and transparency efforts.
Portfolio overview
Active asset management remained a high priority throughout FY25.
Over 51,000sqm of space were leased, extended or renewed during the year, representing 22% of Vital's total income and 20% of the portfolio's lettable area, locking in secure, defensive and long term cashfiows for Unit Holders.
These strong leasing outcomes, including over 9,400sqm of new leasing activity, lifted portfolio occupancy from 98.0% to 98.6% and increased weighted average lease expiry (WALE) by 0.2 years to 18.5 years, despite the passage of time.
It is worth noting that Vital's WALE was 18.1 years in FY20, increasing despite five years passing refiecting leasing, developments, divestments, acquisitions and other initiatives undertaken during this time.
The weighted average valuation capitalisation rate on Vital's property portfolio softened to 5.54% at 30 June 2025, resulting in an unrealised value reduction of $96.7m. Signs have emerged that valuations are stabilising.

Developments
Good progress was made during the financial year in completing Vital's committed developments.
The projects at Maitland Private Hospital and Wakefield Hospital totalling $108.8m were successfully operationalised in FY25.
New opportunities are being considered on a selective value adding basis and include the commencement of a new $11.5m capacity expansion project at Wakefield Hospital.
At 30 June 2025, Vital had $249.9m of developments under way in New Zealand and Australia, with approximately $36.9m remaining to spend (excluding land costs).
Acquisitions
No significant acquisitions were made during FY25.
Divestments
Over FY25, the following assets were divested, realising gross proceeds of $49.7m:
In October 2024, the sale of Hirondelle Private Hospital (NSW) to a private investor settled for A$24.0m.
In December 2024, Epworth Rehabilitation (VIC) was sold with vacant possession to Arcare for A$19.3m as services ceased at this facility. This sale included two adjacent residential houses.
In May 2025, a residential house in Sydney no longer required for expansion of a nearby Vital asset was sold for A$1.7m.
The above sales were achieved at an average 7.0% discount to book value.
14 | VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST
Net property income
Net property income increased by 3.7% over FY25 (on a like-for-like, constant currency basis), refiecting contributions from the structured rent reviews from the portfolio, improved occupancy and leasing outcomes.
In FY25, approximately 83% of Vital's rent was linked to CPI, with 75% of this having a weighted average annual cap of
~3.6% with the balance being uncapped. This rent review structure is designed to provide Vital's Unit Holders with sustainable income growth opportunities.
Financial results
Cash from operations (measured by AFFO) was $70.4m (down 3.5%) and 10.41cpu (down 4.5%). This outcome refiects increased tax expense, following law changes, and interest expense versus growth in net property income after taking into account the impact of completed developments and divested property.
Expenses were $71.4m, 1.1% higher than FY24 refiecting higher borrowings costs and strategic transaction costs, offset by lower management fees.
Vital's NTA per unit decreased by 7.9% to $2.47 primarily due to $96.7m of unrealised property revaluation losses attributable to +23bps portfolio capitalisation rate softening, partially offset by development margin gains, rental growth
and leasing. Additionally there were $28.7m of unrealised fair value losses on the value of derivatives driven by the declining interest rate environment.
Capital management
Vital's strong balance sheet was maintained throughout FY25, with gearing as at 30 June 2025 of 42.1%, well below financial covenants.
During FY25, with the strong support from Vital's banking partners, over $1.1b of debt facilities were extended on improved terms and fiexibility resulting in a weighted average duration of 3.8 years at 30 June 2025 and no debt maturing until March 2027. 82% of Vital's borrowings were hedged at an average fixed rate of 3.32% at 30 June 2025.
Vital's distribution reinvestment plan remained active for FY25 raising $6.2m to fund Vital's development opportunities. A 2.0% issue price discount applied on and from the third quarter distribution payment.
FY26 guidance
The Board and management are pleased to provide FY26 distribution guidance of 9.75cpu (payable quarterly), consistent with FY25 distributions.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025 | 15
New Zealand healthcare sector
New Zealand's private healthcare sector continues to perform well, with strong underlying demand for services being experienced by our key hospital tenants.
Signs have recently emerged of the stabilisation in property valuations and construction costs, although still high, are moderating. We expect demand for new private healthcare infrastructure to emerge over the coming year.
Australian healthcare sector
The broader Australian healthcare sector is showing signs of emerging from its recent short-term challenges, as pressures from health infiation, private health insurance funding dynamics and higher interest rates begin to moderate.
Hospital operator profitability continues to improve as the impact of recently renegotiated private health insurance rates takes effect, however this has yet to fully translate into broader confidence in the sector.
Longer term healthcare sector thematics
Over the long-term, sector thematics for New Zealand and Australian healthcare services are unchanged and positive.
A strong and viable private healthcare sector remains fundamental to the delivery of healthcare services across both countries.
FY26 outlook
We believe the Vital business is well placed for FY26 and beyond as we begin to see many of the headwinds that have impacted healthcare property and the real estate sector more generally begin to abate, including higher interest rates, operator challenges in Australia and a risk off position from investors.
The recovery in New Zealand is further advanced than Australia, with continued strong operator performance and a stabilisation of property valuations and moderation in construction costs observed.
The continuation of this trend will allow the fundamentals of the Vital business to again emerge including strong demand for health services, an attractive income return from a diversified tenant base and opportunities to leverage the embedded value in the Vital portfolio.
The Board and management remain confident around Vital's strategy for delivering medium-long term returns for our
Unit Holders.
We encourage you to join us and look forward to welcoming you to our Annual General Meeting being held on 6 November 2025.
Nā māua noa, nā
Ageing and growing populations, rising life expectancies and continued technological advancements in health solutions, combined with public funding capacity constraints underpin Vital's confidence in the sector and its ability to deliver longterm risk adjusted returns for Unit Holders.
Vital's strategic positioning
Vital's property portfolio is characterised by high-quality, well located healthcare properties with embedded development opportunities that can be activated over time.
Graham Stuart
Independent Chair
13 August 2025
Chris Adams
Co-Head A/NZ Region
This, combined with high income security afforded by a long weighted average lease term (WALE) to a high-quality and diversified tenant mix, provides the expectation for Vital to deliver long term Unit Holder value.
Northwest Healthcare Properties Management Limited, the Manager of Vital Healthcare Property Trust
Vital has completed over $272m of capital recycling initiatives since FY23, including
~$50m in FY25, investing the proceeds from the sale of these non-core properties into high-quality developments like the recently completed Maitland Private Hospital expansion and the redeveloped
Wakefield Hospital. This focus on actively curating the property portfolio, offers the potential for enhanced Unit Holder return benefits over the medium term, reflecting enhanced property quality, resilience and performance.
