The result was delivered alongside the launch of the next phase of its strategy, designed to build on the Company’s strong foundations and drive its next stage of growth and value realisation. Total occupation right agreement sales increased by 1.5% to $554.4 million, reflecting higher overall volumes and growth in resale prices and demonstrating sustained demand for Metlifecare’s villages against a backdrop of continued economic volatility and a subdued residential housing market. Operating revenue increased by 11.4% to $270.7 million, with growth in deferred management fee and village fee revenue from increased sales and higher occupancy across the portfolio. Aged care revenue also increased as Metlifecare continued to execute its premium aged care strategy. NPAT was $43.7 million, compared with $66.4 million in FY25. The result included a $121.1 million gain in the fair value of investment properties, compared with $135.4 million in FY25, supported by retirement village unit price growth and new unit delivery. Total comprehensive income increased by 30.7% to $117.6 million from $90.0 million in FY25. This was predominantly driven by a $68.0 million net gain on the revaluation of care homes, compared with $41.8 million in FY25, reflecting the ongoing rollout of care suites across the portfolio. Balance sheet and capital platform Metlifecare’s total assets increased to $7.41 billion at 30 June 2026, from $6.96 billion at 30 June 2025, reflecting revaluation gains, development activity and increased unit delivery. Net debt increased to $1.63 billion from $1.52 billion at 30 June 2025, while net tangible assets increased to $2.56 billion from $2.42 billion. Net gearing was 38.8%, broadly consistent with 38.5% at the prior year end. During the year, the Company completed a partial refinancing of its Sustainability-Linked Loan facilities. It extended maturities for $1.05 billion of facilities and increased total bank facilities by $100 million in November 2025 and a further $75 million in June 2026, taking total bank facilities to $1.84 billion.
