KEY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Ryman Healthcare (RYM, #16) reported 367 occupation right agreement (ORA) sales in Q2 FY26, comprising 93 new sales and 274 resales, up 9% on Q1 but down 18% on the record Q2 FY25. Sales momentum was supported by improved conversion rates, targeted pricing initiatives and strong lead generation, while occupancy across mature aged care centres eased slightly to 95.8% due to winter seasonality. The company also began closing two Christchurch rest-home-only facilities as part of its aged care review, with residents transitioning to newer villages including the recently opened Kevin Hickman centre. CEO Naomi James highlighted stronger-than-expected sales under Ryman’s new pricing model, which has lifted average deferred management fees by around 40%. First-half sales totalled 704, down on the prior year but ahead of FY26 guidance, with an updated outlook due at the interim results on 27 November.
Infratil Limited (IFT, #4) will release its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2025 on Thursday, the 13th of November, with a virtual investor briefing scheduled for 11:00am NZT via live webcast via their website.
