4 2 CHAIRMAN AND CEO S REPORT STRONG INTERIM RESULT Vital confirmed a second quarter cash distribution of cents per unit. Highlights Portfolio lease term increased to 18.6 years (from 17.7 years at 30 June 2017) while retaining high occupancy levels at 99.3% Same property NOI increased 3.5% over the prior year period Net Distributable Income of $22.8m or 5.26c per unit AFFO per unit of 5.40c, generating a sector leading payout ratio of approximately 79% Portfolio yield firmed to 5.85% (from 6.03% at 30 June 2017), generating an interim gain of $42.8m NTA per unit of $2.19, up 7% from 30 June 2017 Finance costs declined 57bps to 4.09%, balance sheet deployed with gearing now at 36.8% Acquisition of Acurity New Zealand Hospital portfolio, Eden Rehabilitation Hospital and The Hills Clinic in Australia for NZ$187m Development pipeline (6 projects) of approximately NZ$144m over the next four years. Management integration further strengthening market leading Australasian healthcare platform David Carr, Chief Executive of Vital s Manager NorthWest Healthcare Properties Management Limited, said, Aligning with our core strategy, many of Vital s recent acquisitions have been off-market sale and leaseback investments. These opportunities enable Vital to work closely with our partners and be thoughtful about lease terms in order to deliver exceptional long term outcomes. Many of these investments include attractive future development opportunities where we continue to support our partners with long-term capital, backed by undeniable demographic and healthcare demand trends. Notwithstanding a busy period looking at new opportunities the team continues to ensure that the core portfolio remains in great shape. Over the six months we extended our market leading portfolio lease term from 17.7 years to 18.6 years and continued to maintain portfolio occupancy over 99%. Following years of strong performance and its unique investment characteristics, healthcare real estate yields continue to compress, supported new investors by growing local and global demand. Vital s revaluation gains have been a consistent driver of NTA growth over recent years, under-pinning unit price performance. We retain a positive outlook and we remain excited about a range of asset management initiatives and potential opportunities over the remainder of 2018, said Mr Carr. Management integration In January 2018, Vital s management company announced the integration of its Australian and New Zealand management platforms. Effective today, Vital s manager will transition to its new name, NorthWest Healthcare Properties Management Limited from Vital Healthcare Management Limited. Vital Healthcare Property Trust s name will not change, nor will its NZX ticker symbol VHP. David Carr and Stuart Harrison will continue as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. There is no change to Vital s well defined strategy, remaining absolutely focused on healthcare real estate investment with a continued focus on distribution sustainability and long-term value creation. Vital unitholders will benefit from a larger team working on their behalf, in both New Zealand and Australia, strengthening and broadening key

Interim valuations and portfolio activity In order to assess whether any valuation change has occurred for the half year to 31 December 2017, the incumbent independent valuers from 30 June 2017 were commissioned to provide external desktop reviews. As a result, Vital recorded an increase of $42.8m in the fair value of its portfolio to $1.67bn, or 2.9% over carrying book value. The increase is over and above acquisitions and development expenditure incurred in the period. Vital s WACR for the six months to 31 December 2017 firmed approximately 17 bps to 5.85%. The Australian portfolio reported a 16 bps firming in capitalisation rate to 5.85% and the New Zealand portfolio firmed 14 bps to 5.86%. The valuation uplift was primarily driven by firmer capitalisation rates, but also supported by incremental increases in income as a result of rent reviews over the period. Vital s WALE increased to 18.6 years (from 17.7 years) primarily reflecting the recent acquisition of the Acurity portfolio with initial lease terms of 30 years. The long WALE and consistently high occupancy levels of above 99% are portfolio traits that underpin Vital s sustainable distribution and reflect the depth of established long-term relationships with our key partners. A total of 31 rent reviews (approximately 22% of total income) were completed to 31 December 2017, resulting in rent growth of 1.1%. With around 45% of Vital s total income remaining subject to review to 30 June 2018, we expect these reviews will contribute to forecast income growth over the period approximately in line with inflation. With a relatively benign lease expiry profile at the start of FY18 representing 1.7% of total income (22 leases), approximately half of these renewals or expiries are now completed, with a 100% retention rate. We look to resolve the remaining expiries over the next six months with a high expectation of renewal and we also continue to proactively focus on expiries beyond Financial performance Gross rental income grew 17.9% during the period after adjusting for a one-off lease termination receipt of $13.8m relating to two Gold Coast properties in the prior year. After property expenses, net income grew 16.6%.

6 4 CHAIRMAN AND CEO S REPORT GRAEME HORSLEY CHAIRMAN & INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR We continue to drive forward our scale and diversification strategy. Over the balance of the year we look to deliver on value-add opportunities, further enhancing the quality of our earnings, underpinning distribution sustainability. DAVID CARR

7 5 CHAIRMAN AND CEO S REPORT Bowen Hospital, acquired from operator Acurity Health Group, provides new partnership opportunities. This strong operating result was driven by sameproperty income performance of 8.6% and over NZ $410m of acquisitions and approximately NZ$40m of developments over the last 24 months. Finance expense of $10.5m was up 55% from the prior year owing to higher overall debt levels during the last 12 months. This reflects significant acquisition and development activity following the pay down facilities on the back of the July 2016 capital raise. Other expenses increased to $12.8m primarily the result of an accrual provision for a manager incentive fee of $5.8m ($3.5m in 1H17) along with base management fees increasing to $5.6m ($3.7m in 1H17) due to the higher asset base over the previous period. The incentive fee provision is calculated in accordance with the Trust Deed and based on the average increase in the value of the Trust s assets over book value for the last three years, and does not crystallise until the end of the financial year following completion of the 30 June 2018 year-end independent asset valuations. Net distributable income for the period was $22.8m equating to 5.26 cpu. Adjusting for income related to a one-off lease termination and rental reversion on releasing at two Gold Coast properties, net distributable income per unit for the period increased 3.5% from the prior year. AFFO, which adjusts for maintenance capital expenditure and lease incentives, was broadly in line with net distributable income on a per unit basis. For the 6 months to 31 December 2017, Vital s AFFO payout ratio reflected a prudent and sustainable 79%. Treasury and capital management Vital s loan-to-value ratio (LVR) was 36.8% at 31 December 2017, up from 24.4% the same time last year. It remains well below bank and Trust Deed covenants of 50%. Accordingly, the Trust maintains an appropriate level of flexibility to finance announced development commitments over the next four years. Partially offsetting the increased finance expense due to higher gearing was a 57bps decrease in Vital s weighted average cost of debt to 4.09% (including bank line and margin fees) compared to the prior year. At year end Vital had a hedged interest rate position of 51.9% with a 5.76 year average duration. Acquisitions Vital acquired five properties in the first half of the year for a total cost of NZ$187m. In July 2017, Vital closed on the acquisition of The Hills Clinic in Kellyville, NSW, 40km north-west of the Sydney CBD for A$30.3m. The Hills is a two-storied purpose-built mental health hospital leased to Healthe Care, Australia s third largest corporate private hospital operator and pan-asian healthcare services group, on a 30-year lease. In December 2017, Vital acquired Eden Rehabilitation Hospital in Cooroy, Queensland for A$23.8m. Eden is a private rehabilitation hospital leased to Healthe Care Australia for 20 years, with future brownfield potential.

Vital has also committed to fund up to NZ $106.5m of brownfield development at the three hospitals over the next four years. Development activity update In the first half of the year, Vital completed brownfield developments at Sportsmed Consulting in Adelaide, Maitland Private Hospital in NSW and the Palm Beach Currumbin Clinic in Queensland representing approximately A$20m of spending over the life of these projects. Three further development projects, totalling approximately A$34m remain in various stages of development. The projects will facilitate expansion of healthcare services including additional operating theatres, ward expansions and new consulting suites to meet increased demand for services. These three projects are forecast for completion between April and June 2018, with approximately A$21m in costs to complete. The longer term brownfield development programme, which totals approximately NZ$144m including the aforementioned projects under construction and planned works in the Acurity portfolio, remains a core part of Vital s scale and diversification strategy. It will continue to underpin earnings sustainability, improve asset quality and enhance long-term value. Distributions The Board confirmed that investors will receive a second quarter distribution of cents per unit with cpu of imputation credits attached. The record date is 15 March 2018 and payment will be made on 29 March Vital s Distribution Reinvestment Plan remains available to investors for this distribution with a 1.0% discount being applied when determining the strike price. The Board has also reconfirmed its full year guidance for a cash distribution of 8.5 cents per unit.

9 7 CHAIRMAN AND CEO S REPORT Outlook Mr Carr said With a solid foundation and a defensive and resilient portfolio position, we look forward to the continued execution of our disciplined scale and diversification strategy. Irrespective of periodic political or regulatory interference in an otherwise entrenched healthcare systems in New Zealand and Australia, we continue to see strong demographic, aging and technological trends driving demand for healthcare services delivered from quality healthcare infrastructure. Vital is at the forefront of this structural growth opportunity with the most experienced healthcare real estate management team in Australasia and the reputation as a preferred healthcare real estate capital partner, we are well placed for the future.

All investment property was valued by independent registered valuers as at 30 June The fair value of investment property as at 31 December 2017 was determined by the Manager, using market data provided by independent valuers and based on independent valuation advice.

26 24 INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE UNITHOLDERS OF VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Vital Healthcare Property Trust and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Trust ) which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month period ended on that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information on pages FIN-1 to FIN-14. This report is made solely to the Trust s unitholders, as a body. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Trust s unitholders those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Trust s unitholders as a body, for our engagement, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Manager s Responsibilities The Board of Directors of the Manager are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and for such internal control as the Board of Directors of the Manager determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Our Responsibilities Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity ( NZ SRE 2410 ). NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. As the auditor of Vital Healthcare Property Trust, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements. A review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on those financial statements. Other than in our capacity as auditor, we have no relationship with or interests in Vital Healthcare Property Trust or its subsidiaries or the Manager. Conclusion Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Trust do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2017 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six month period ended on that date in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
