## Value Assessment 🟠 HIGH

FY26 results represent a **pivotal year** for Oceania Healthcare. The key strategic narrative:

1. **Debt reduction is working** — net debt down $121m to $507m, gearing at lower end of target
2. **Sales execution improving** — record sales volumes despite subdued property market
3. **Care profitability surging** — EBITDA per bed up 40% to $27k
4. **Portfolio streamlined** — 7 non-core sites divested for $51m
5. **No dividend** — signals continuing balance sheet discipline
6. **Positive FCF targeted for FY27** — key milestone to watch

This is valuable context for the KB's provider profiles, especially for understanding the financial health of a major retirement village and aged care operator.
