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.
