Financial result

Metlifecare has today reported a strong financial result for FY25, while maintaining excellent strategic momentum under its Full Potential Plan (FPP). This performance was delivered in the context of ongoing economic volatility and subdued housing market activity, highlighting the strength and resilience of Metlifecare’s core foundations and robust business model.

The Company delivered NPAT of $66.4 million (FY24: $53.1 million), which included a fair value gain on Investment property of $135.4 million (FY24: $135.0 million), supported by the completion of a new record of 332 independent living units and care suites, alongside price and volume growth in sales.

This gain was partially offset by continued capital investment across the Company’s existing village portfolio, as well as investment in people, digital infrastructure, sustainability initiatives, and brand – all aligned to the FPP. These investments position Metlifecare for long-term growth and value creation, underpinned by New Zealand’s ageing population and increasing demand for high-quality retirement living and care options.

Total sales of occupation right agreements for FY25 increased by 17.6% to $546.4 million, demonstrating the sustained demand for our villages, the unlocking of considerable embedded value in our resale portfolio and the growing contribution from development sales as we increase our annual build rate.

Operating revenue rose 9.5% to $243.0 million, driven by higher deferred management fees, strong growth in care and village fees, and a full-year revenue contribution from Springlands Lifestyle Village, acquired in late 2023.
