About Ryman Healthcare (ASX:RYM)
Ryman Healthcare Limited is an NZX- and ASX-listed retirement village and aged care operator headquartered in Christchurch. It owns and operates integrated retirement villages offering independent living, serviced apartments and aged care across New Zealand and Victoria.
Ryman Healthcare (ASX:RYM) released its second quarter FY27 trading update to report sales, stock and occupancy for the three months to 30 September 2026, as it works toward its target of matching resales with turnover by the end of FY27.
Ryman settled 379 retirement living occupation right agreements (ORAs) in Q2 FY27, comprising 312 resales and 67 new sales. Resales rose 14% on the same period last year, which the company says is its strongest resale quarter in eight quarters, driven by serviced apartments. Net resales contract volumes, which the company treats as a lead indicator, rose 11% year on year after 7% growth in Q1 FY27. New retirement living stock fell by 67 units to 347, a reduction of 132 units since 31 March 2026, with no new stock delivered in the first half as planned. The new main building at Richard Hadlee Village in Christchurch opened in October, adding 77 retirement living units and 65 care beds, and Ryman says it remains on track for FY27 build guidance of 157–168 units and beds. Total aged care occupancy was 94.0%, up 3.3 percentage points, while mature centre occupancy eased to 95.4% from 95.7%.
The company says housing market conditions remain soft. The release reports volumes only and gives no revenue, earnings or pricing figures for the quarter.
