What EBITDA is Regis Healthcare targeting for FY26?

Regis expects to deliver underlying EBITDA of approximately $135 million in FY26, which is at the top end of its existing guidance range of $130 million to $135 million.

How strong are Regis Healthcare’s occupancy levels?

Average occupancy across Regis’ mature homes was 95.9% in the third quarter of FY26, up from 95.5% in the prior corresponding period, supported by targeted sales initiatives, improved hospital discharge pathways and a shortage of available beds in the market.

What is happening with Regis’ RAD cash flows and balance?

Regis generated $44.5 million of net RAD cash inflows in Q3 FY26, taking year‑to‑date net inflows to $223 million and lifting its paid‑up RAD balance to about $2.3 billion as at 31 March 2026. The company sees a clear runway for further RAD inflows as existing RADs are progressively repriced to current room tariffs.

How is Regis managing costs and its portfolio?

In response to a constrained funding environment, Regis is implementing a structured cost‑savings program focused on streamlining management, support‑office efficiencies and improved roster optimisation, increasingly using data analytics and AI‑enabled tools. At the same time, it is recycling capital by divesting non‑core assets, such as two Far North Queensland homes sold in March 2026 for a one‑off $25 million pre‑tax profit.

What impact could the government’s aged care funding reforms have on Regis?

The Federal Government has announced a $3 billion funding package and released the Accommodation Pricing Review, with measures including targeted capital subsidies, higher accommodation supplements and structural changes to support homes with more supported residents. Regis believes the direction of reform is positive for long‑term sector sustainability, though the ultimate benefit will depend on its resident mix and the final design and timing of policy changes.

Regis Healthcare Limited (ASX: REG) has announced a third-quarter update, projecting a full-year underlying EBITDA of approximately $135 million.

This puts the aged care provider at the top end of its previous financial guidance, driven by historically high occupancy levels and robust cash generation.

Average occupancy across the group's mature homes reached 95.9% in Q3, bolstered by high market demand and streamlined hospital discharge pathways.

The company’s financial position was further strengthened by $44.5 million in net RAD cash inflows during the quarter, bringing the year-to-date total to $223 million.

Beyond operational performance, Regis recently completed the divestment of two non-core facilities in Far North Queensland, generating a $25 million pre-tax profit.

Management expressed optimism regarding the Federal Government’s recent $3 billion funding package and accommodation pricing review.

CEO Dr. Linda Mellors noted that while specific budget details are pending, the shift toward a more sustainable capital framework supports long-term sector stability and Regis' ongoing growth strategy.
