News Release

For Release: 30 April 20 21

Update on large/notable items in 1 H21 results


ANZ today announced its first half 2021 Cash Profit will be impacted by a number of

large/notable items:


• $135m (after tax) of equity accounted losses from AMMB Holding Berhad (‘AmBank’)

relating to goodwill impairment recognised by AmBank at 31 March 2021 (no impact on

ANZ’s Common Equity Tier 1 ‘CET1’ capital).


• $251m (after tax) relating to the write-down of goodwill attributable to the ANZ Share

Investing business

1

as a result of that business being reclassified as held-for -sale,

reflecting a continuation of the bank’s simplification strategy (no impact on ANZ’s CET1

capital).


• $108m (after tax) of additional customer remediation charges.


• $63m (after tax) comprised of restructuring charges and other smaller divestment

impacts.


These large/notable items announced today are in addition to those previously advised

during the half, namely:


• $48m (after tax) in respect of the agreement to settle a class action brought against

ANZ in the United States during 2016

2

, and related legal and other costs.


• $212m (after tax) of equity accounted losses from AmBank relating to the agreed

settlement with the Malaysian Ministry of Finance as announced on 1 March

3

(no impact

on ANZ’s CET1 capital).



In aggregate, ANZ’s first half 2021 Cash Profit after tax will be impacted by $817m,

equivalent to ~5 basis points of CET1 capital.
