Ryman Healthcare Ltd. (RYM.NZ), the retirement village and rest home operator, revealed a significant performance reversal in its first-half results released Thursday, swinging from profitability to losses as operational challenges weighed on the business.

The company’s financial position deteriorated markedly for the six-month period ending September 30. Losses totaled NZ$49.65 million, a stark reversal from the prior-year period which delivered a profit of NZ$58.99 million. The bottom-line impact was equally evident in per-share metrics, with loss per share reaching 4.4 cents compared to earnings per share of 11.8 cents in the corresponding prior-year half.

However, the revenue trajectory showed continued expansion. Top-line performance improved to NZ$413.78 million, up from NZ$366.26 million previously, indicating that while sales growth persisted, operational profitability faced headwinds. The divergence between revenue growth and earnings decline suggests cost pressures or one-time charges affected the company’s bottom line during the period.

Market reaction to the earnings disclosure proved relatively positive. Ryman Healthcare shares climbed 2.0979% to close at NZ$2.9200 on the New Zealand Stock Exchange, potentially reflecting market expectations that underlying business momentum remains intact despite the near-term earnings slid.
