NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ABOUT OUR INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
BASIS OF PREPARATION
These are the condensed consolidated interim financial statements (financial statements) for ANZ New Zealand and should be read in conjunction
with ANZ New Zealand’s financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2020.
On 7 May 2021, the Directors resolved to authorise the issue of these financial statements.
These financial statements comply with:
• New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP), as defined in the Financial Reporting Act 2013;
• NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as appropriate for publicly accountable for-profit
entities; and
• IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The consolidated financial statements of ANZ New Zealand comprise the financial statements of the NZ Branch and all of the New Zealand businesses
of all the subsidiaries of the Ultimate Parent Bank.
We present the financial statements in New Zealand dollars and have rounded values to the nearest million dollars (NZ$m), unless otherwise stated.
The accounting policies adopted by ANZ New Zealand are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the previous full year financial statements.
BASIS OF MEASUREMENT
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with historical cost concepts except that the following assets
and liabilities are stated at their fair value:
• derivative financial instruments;
• financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; and
• financial instruments designated at fair value through profit and loss.
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of management judgement, estimates and assumptions that affect reported
amounts and the application of accounting policies. Discussion of the critical accounting estimates and judgements, which include complex
or subjective decisions or assessments, are provided in the previous full year financial statements. Such estimates and judgements are
reviewed on an ongoing basis.
A brief explanation of the key estimates, assumptions and judgements that have changed during the six months ended 31 March 2021 follows:
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the global economy have impacted our customers, operations and ANZ New Zealand‘s
performance. The outbreak necessitated governments to respond at unprecedented levels to protect the health of the population, local
economies and livelihoods. It has affected different regions at different times and at varying degrees and there remains a risk of
subsequent waves of infection. Thus the pandemic has significantly increased the estimation uncertainty in the preparation of these
financial statements including:
• the extent and duration of the disruption to business arising from the actions of governments, businesses and consumers to contain
the spread of the virus;
• the impact, extent and duration of the expected economic downturn (and forecasts for key economic factors including GDP,
employment and house prices). This includes disruption to capital markets, and the impacts on credit quality, liquidity,
unemployment, consumer spending, as well as specific sector impacts and other restructuring activities; and
• the efficacy, extent and pace of roll-out of vaccines, as well as the effectiveness of government and central bank measures that have
been and will be put in place to support businesses and consumers through this disruption.
ANZ New Zealand
has made various accounting estimates in these financial statements based on forecasts of economic conditions which
reflect expectations and assumptions as at 31 March 2021 about future events that the Directors believe are reasonable in the circumstances.
There is a considerable degree of judgement involved in preparing these estimates. The underlying assumptions are also subject to
uncertainties which are often outside the control of ANZ New Zealand. Accordingly, actual economic conditions are likely to be different from
those forecast since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected, and the effect of those differences may significantly impact
accounting estimates included in these financial statements.
The significant accounting estimates impacted by these forecasts and associated uncertainties are predominantly related to expected credit
losses, carrying values of goodwill, fair value measurement, and recoverable amounts of non-financial assets.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on each of these estimates is discussed further in the relevant note in these financial statements and/or
in the relevant note in the previous full year financial statements. Readers should consider these disclosures in light of the inherent uncertainty
described above.

4. SEGMENT REPORTING

There were no material changes to ANZ New Zealand’s reportable segments during the six months ended 31 March 2021.

dedicated managers focusing on privately owned medium to large enterprises, the agricultural business segment, government and government
related entities.

Finance and Markets.
• Transaction Banking provides working capital and liquidity solutions including documentary trade, supply chain financing as well as cash
management solutions, deposits, payments and clearing.

From March 2020, ANZ New Zealand offered various forms of assistance to customers to counteract the impact of COVID-19 on the ability of
customers to meet their loan obligations. The assistance provided included arrangements such as temporary deferral of principal and interest
repayments, replacing principal and interest with interest only repayments, and extension of loan maturity dates. The loan deferral and relief packages
are considered to be a loan modification under NZ IFRS 9. This either results in the loan being derecognised and replaced with a new loan (substantial
modification) or the existing loan continuing to be recognised (non-substantial modification).
These relief packages were phased out during the six months ended 31 March 2021. In the case of loan deferral packages, 86% of all customers who
took advantage of a deferral package have reverted back to loan repayments, with the remainder having been either restructured or, for less than 2%
of customers, transferred to hardship. For those customers who took up loan deferral packages, it is considered that the packages, as well as
government support measures, may have obscured repayment delinquencies that might otherwise have occurred over the loan deferral period and
those that may still occur in the future. Thus ANZ New Zealand has provided a component of ECL for expected delinquencies and increases in
Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) for this population of loans.
Facilities which transitioned to interest-only or took up term extensions offered as a result of COVID-19, are now subsumed within the normal loan
population and are managed accordingly.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
In estimating individually assessed ECL for Stage 3 exposures, ANZ New Zealand makes judgements and assumptions in relation to expected
repayments, the realisable value of collateral, business prospects for the customer, competing claims and the likely cost and duration of the
work-out process. Judgements and assumptions in respect of these matters have been updated to reflect the ongoing and potential impact of
COVID-19.
In estimating collectively assessed ECL, ANZ New Zealand makes judgements and assumptions in relation to:
• the selection of an estimation technique or modelling methodology, noting that the modelling of ANZ New Zealand’s ECL estimates are
complex; and
• the selection of inputs for those models, and the interdependencies between those inputs.
The following table summarises the key judgements and assumptions in relation to the model inputs and the interdependencies between
those inputs, and highlights significant changes during the current period.
The judgements and associated assumptions have been made in the context of the impact of COVID-19, and reflect historical experience and
other factors that are considered to be relevant, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. ANZ New Zealand’s ECL estimates are inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Description
Considerations for the six months ended
31 March 2021
Determining
when a SICR
has occurred
In the measurement of ECL, judgement is involved in
setting the rules and trigger points to determine
whether there has been a SICR since initial recognition
of a loan, which would result in the financial asset
moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2. This is a key area of
judgement since transition from Stage 1 to Stage 2
increases the ECL from an allowance based on the
probability of default in the next 12 months, to an
allowance for lifetime expected credit losses.
Subsequent decreases in credit risk resulting in
transition from Stage 2 to Stage 1 may similarly result in
significant changes in the ECL allowance.
The setting of precise trigger points requires judgement
which may have a material impact upon the size of the
ECL allowance. ANZ New Zealand monitors the
effectiveness of SICR criteria on an ongoing basis.
The relief packages offered to customers in
response to COVID-19 in 2020 are no longer being
offered, and the majority of customers who took up
the relief have reverted back to their normal loan
repayments.
The relief packages, as well as government support
measures, may have obscured repayment
delinquencies that might otherwise have occurred
and those that may still occur in the future. Thus
ANZ New Zealand has provided a component of
ECL for expected delinquencies and increases in
SICR.
Measuring
both 12-month
and lifetime
credit losses
The probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD)
and exposure at default (EAD) credit risk parameters
used in determining ECL are point-in-time measures
reflecting the relevant forward looking information
determined by management. Judgement is involved in
determining which forward-looking information
variables are relevant for particular lending portfolios
and for determining each portfolio’s point-in-time
sensitivity.
The PD, EAD and LGD models are subject to ANZ
New Zealand’s model risk policy that stipulates
periodic model monitoring, periodic re-validation
and defines approval procedures and authorities
according to model materiality.
During the six months ended 31 March 2021 an
adjustment was made to the modelled outcome to
account for continuing model uncertainties as a
result of COVID-19.
In addition, judgement is required where behavioural
characteristics are applied in estimating the lifetime of a
facility to be used in measuring ECL.
There were no material changes to the policies
during the six months ended 31 March 2021.

Base case
economic
forecast
ANZ New Zealand derives a forward looking “base case”
economic scenario which reflects our view of future
macro-economic conditions.
There have been no changes to the types of forward
looking variables (key economic drivers) used as
model inputs in the current period.
As at 31 March 2021, the base case assumptions have
been updated to reflect the current phase of COVID-
19, including containment in key geographies,
government stimulus measures and roll-out of
vaccines. In determining the expected path and
timing out of the current economic downturn,
assessments of the impact of central bank policies,
governments’ actions, the response of business, and
institution specific responses (such as payment
deferrals) were considered.
The expected outcomes of key economic drivers for
the base case scenario as at 31 March 2021 are
described below under the heading “Base case
economic forecast assumptions”.
Probability
weighting of
each scenario
(base case,
upside,
downside
and
severe
downside
scenarios)
1,2
Probability weighting of each economic scenario is
determined by management considering the risks and
uncertainties surrounding the base case scenario at
each measurement date.
The key consideration for probability weightings in
the current period is the extent and timing of
recovery from the economic downturn caused by
COVID-19.
ANZ New Zealand considers these weightings to
provide the best estimate of the possible loss
outcomes and has analysed inter-relationships and
correlations (over both the short and long term)
within ANZ New Zealand’s credit portfolios in
determining them.
In addition to the base case forecast which reflects a
significant improvement as we emerge from an
economic environment heavily influenced by COVID-
19, greater weighting continues to be applied to the
downside scenario given ANZ New Zealand’s
assessment of downside risks.
The assigned probability weightings are subject to a
high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore
the actual outcomes may be significantly different to
those projected.
Management
temporary
adjustments
Management temporary adjustments to the ECL
allowance are used in circumstances where it is judged
that our existing inputs, assumptions and model
techniques do not capture all the risk factors relevant to
our lending portfolios. Emerging local or global
macroeconomic, microeconomic or political events,
and natural disasters that are not incorporated into our
current parameters, risk ratings, or forward-looking
information are examples of such circumstances. The
use of management temporary adjustments may
impact the amount of ECL recognised.
The uncertainty associated with the COVID-19
pandemic, including the roll-out of vaccines, and the
extent to which the actions of governments, businesses
and consumers mitigate against potentially adverse
credit outcomes are not fully incorporated into existing
ECL models which are based on historical underlying
data. Accordingly, management overlays have been
applied to ensure credit provisions are appropriate.
Management have applied a number of adjustments
to the modelled ECL primarily due to the uncertainty
associated with continuing COVID-19 impacts.
Management overlays (including COVID-19 overlays)
which add to the modelled ECL provision have been
made for risks particular to retail, commercial and agri
banking.
1. The upside and downside scenarios are fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions (that is, they are not based on the economic conditions prevailing at balance date) and are
based on a combination of more optimistic (in the case of the upside) and pessimistic (in the case of the downside) economic conditions.
2. The severe downside scenario is fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions and accounts for the potentially severe downside impact of less likely extremely adverse economic
conditions.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Base case economic forecast assumptions
The uncertain evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic increases the risk to the economic forecast resulting in an understatement or
overstatement of the ECL balance due to uncertainties around:
• the extent and duration of measures, including the roll-out of vaccines, to contain the spread of COVID-19;
• the extent and duration of the economic downturn, along with the time required for economies to recover; and
• the effectiveness of government stimulus measures, in particular their impact on the magnitude of the economic downturn and the
extent and duration of the recovery.
The economic drivers of the base case economic forecasts at 31 March 2021 are set out below. These reflect our view of future macro-
economic conditions at 31 March 2021. For years beyond the near term forecasts below, the ECL models project future year economic
conditions including an assumption to eventual reversion to mid-cycle economic conditions.
Actual calendar year Forecast calendar year
New Zealand 2020 2021 2022
Gross domestic product (GDP) -3.0% 3.6% 3.7%
Unemployment 4.6% 5.4% 4.6%
Residential property prices 15.6% 17.4% 4.1%
Consumer price index (CPI) 1.7 1.9 1.6
The base case economic forecasts as at 31 March 2021 indicate a significant improvement in current and expected economic conditions from
the forecasts as at 30 September 2020 reflecting the ongoing progress and actions in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Probability weightings
Probability weighting of each scenario is determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base case
scenario. The key consideration for probability weightings in the current period is the effectiveness of actions taken in response to COVID-19
and the ability of vaccines to limit the impact of the virus.
The base case scenario represents a significant improvement in the forecasts since September 2020. Given the uncertainties associated with a
potential recovery in the economy, greater weighting continues to be applied to the downside and severe downside scenarios given ANZ New
Zealand’s assessment of downside risks.
The assigned probability weightings are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore the actual outcomes may be
significantly different to those projected. ANZ New Zealand considers these weightings to provide the best estimate of the possible loss
outcomes and has analysed inter-relationships and correlations (over both the short and long term) within ANZ New Zealand’s credit portfolios
in determining them. The average weightings applied are set out below:
31 Mar 21 30 Sep 20
Base 50% 50%
Upside 8% 8%
Downside 32% 32%
Severe downside 10% 10%
ECL - sensitivity analysis
Given current economic uncertainties and the judgement applied to factors used in determining the expected default of borrowers in future
periods, ECL reported by ANZ New Zealand should be considered as a best estimate within a range of possible estimates.

Annual goodwill impairment test
The annual impairment test is performed as at the end of February each year. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of the
relevant CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCOD) and its
value-in use (VIU). We use a value-in-use approach to estimate the recoverable amount of the CGU to which each goodwill component is allocated.
Based on this assessment no impairment was identified for any CGU, and therefore a FVLCOD calculation was not required.
VALUE-IN-USE
These calculations use cash flow projections based on a number of financial budgets within each CGU covering an initial forecast period. These
projections also incorporate economic assumptions including GDP, inflation, unemployment, residential and commercial property prices, the impact
of the restriction imposed by the RBNZ on the payment of ordinary dividends by all New Zealand incorporated registered banks, and the
implementation of the RBNZ’s increased capital requirements. Cash flows beyond the forecast period are extrapolated using the terminal growth rate.
These cash flow projections are discounted using a discount rate derived using a capital asset pricing model.
Future changes in the assumptions upon which the calculation is based may materially impact this assessment, resulting in the potential impairment
of part or all of the goodwill balances.
Input / assumption
Values applied in 28 February 2021 impairment test
Forecast period and projections To 30 September 2028 - an extended forecast period was used to cover the implementation period of the
RBNZ’s increased capital requirements over the period 1 July 2021 to 1 July 2028.
Revenue growth over forecast
period
Comprises impacts of net interest margin and volume growth, arising from planned responses to known
regulatory and economic forecasts. Average annual forecast revenue growth rates are shown below.
Credit impairment over forecast
period
Varies by CGU, based on ECL modelling for 2021 to 2023, before returning to long run experience levels for
2024 to 2028. Long run experience levels are based on ANZ New Zealand’s bad debts written off, net of
recoveries, since 2004 of 0.15% of gross loans and advances. Credit impairment for each CGU as a
percentage of forecast gross loans and advances for 2024 to 2028 is shown below.
Terminal growth rate 2.0% - based on 2023 forecast inflation from the RBNZ’s February 2021 Monetary Policy Statement.
Discount rate Post tax: 9.4% (February 2020: 9.3%).
The main variables in the calculation of the discount rate used are the risk free rate, beta and the market risk
premium. The risk free rate was the traded 10 year New Zealand government bond yield as at 28 February
2021 of 1.9%. The market risk premium was estimated using a range of methods incorporating historical
and forward looking market data. Beta was consistent with observable measures applied in the regional
banking sector.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Management judgement is used to assess the recoverable value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the useful economic life of
an asset, or if an asset has an indefinite life. We reassess the recoverability of the carrying value at each reporting date.
Goodwill
A number of key judgements are required in the determination of whether or not a goodwill balance is impaired:
• the level at which goodwill is allocated – consistent with prior periods the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated are ANZ New Zealand’s
four revenue generating segments that benefit from relevant historical business combinations generating goodwill.
• determination of the carrying amount of each CGU which includes an allocation, on a reasonable and consistent basis of corporate
assets and liabilities that are not directly attributable to the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated.
• assessment of the recoverable amount of each CGU used to determine whether the carrying amount of goodwill is supported is
based on judgements including the selection of the model and key assumptions used to calculate the recoverable amount.
The assessment of the recoverable amount of each CGU has been made within the context of the ongoing impact of COVID-19, and
reflects expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The rapidly evolving consequences of
COVID-19 and government, business and consumer responses create heightened uncertainty in these estimates and any variations could
have a positive or adverse impact on the determination of recoverable amounts.

11. CREDIT RISK
This note should be read in conjunction with the estimates, assumptions and judgements relating to COVID-19 in Note 1 and ECL in Note 6.
Maximum exposure to credit risk
For financial assets recognised on the balance sheet, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount. In certain circumstances there may
be differences between the carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet and the amounts reported in the tables below. Principally, these
differences arise in respect of financial assets that are subject to risks other than credit risk, such as equity instruments which are primarily subject to
market risk, or bank notes and coins.
For undrawn facilities, this maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the committed facilities. For contingent exposures, the maximum
exposure to credit risk is the maximum amount ANZ New Zealand would have to pay if the instrument is called upon.
The table below shows our maximum exposure to credit risk of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions before taking account of any
collateral held or other credit enhancements.

12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
Financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value on the balance sheet
ANZ New Zealand categorises financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value into a fair value hierarchy as required by NZ IFRS 13 Fair Value
Measurement based on the observability of inputs used to measure the fair value:
• Level 1 – valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• Level 2 – valuations using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for a similar asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly; and
• Level 3 – valuations where significant unobservable inputs are used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability.
The table below summarises the attribution of financial instruments carried at fair value to the fair value hierarchy:

Financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value
Below is a comparison of the carrying amounts as reported on the balance sheet and fair values of financial asset and financial liability categories other
than those categories where the carrying amount is at fair value or considered a reasonable approximation of fair value.
The fair values below have been calculated using discounted cash flow techniques where contractual future cash flows of the instrument are
discounted using discount rates incorporating wholesale market rates or market borrowing rates of debt with similar maturities or a yield curve
appropriate for the remaining term to maturity.

ANZ New Zealand guarantees the performance of customers by issuing standby letters of credit and guarantees to third parties, including its Ultimate
Parent Bank. The risk involved is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to customers, therefore these transactions
are subjected to the same credit origination, portfolio management and collateral requirements for customers applying for loans. As the facilities may
expire without being drawn upon, the notional amounts do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements.
Other contingent liabilities
There are outstanding court proceedings, claims and possible claims for and against ANZ New Zealand. Where relevant, expert legal advice has been
obtained and, in the light of such advice, provisions (refer to Note 9 other provisions) and/or disclosures as deemed appropriate have been made. In
some instances we have not disclosed the estimated financial impact of the individual items either because it is not practicable to do so or because
such disclosure may prejudice seriously the interests of ANZ New Zealand.
Regulatory and customer exposures
In recent years there has been an increase in the number of matters on which ANZ New Zealand engages with its regulators. There have also been
significant increases in the nature and scale of regulatory investigations and reviews, civil and criminal enforcement actions (whether by court action
or otherwise), formal and informal inquiries, regulatory supervisory activities and the quantum of fines issued by regulators, particularly against
financial institutions both in New Zealand and globally. ANZ New Zealand has received various notices and requests for information from its regulators
as part of both industry-wide and ANZ New Zealand-specific reviews, and has also made disclosures to its regulators at its own instigation. The nature
of these interactions can be wide ranging and, for example, may include a range of matters including responsible lending practices, regulated lending
financial transactions, product suitability and distribution, interest and fees and the entitlement to charge them, customer remediation, wealth advice,
insurance distribution, pricing, competition, conduct in financial markets and financial transactions, capital market transactions, anti-money laundering
and counter-terrorism financing obligations, reporting and disclosure obligations and product disclosure documentation. There may be exposures to
customers which are additional to any regulatory exposures.
These could include class actions, individual claims or customer remediation or
compensation activities. The outcomes and total costs associated with such reviews and possible exposures remain uncertain.
Reviews under section 95 of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989 (RBNZ Act)
On 5 July 2019, the RBNZ issued a notice under section 95 of the RBNZ Act requiring the Bank to obtain two external reviews: the first on the Bank’s
compliance with certain aspects of the RBNZ Banking Supervision Handbook document Capital Adequacy Framework (Internal Models Based Approach)
(BS2B) (Capital Adequacy Review); and the second on the effectiveness of the Bank’s directors’ attestation and assurance framework (Attestation Review).
The Attestation Review and the Capital Adequacy Review were completed in December 2019 and April 2020, respectively. The Bank is committed to
implementing the recommendations and addressing the issues raised by these reviews.
Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the RBNZ extended the time period for addressing the Attestation Review recommendations, subject
to the Bank obtaining external interim reviews of the remediation activities being undertaken in respect of the Attestation Review and the Capital
Adequacy Review, assessed as at March 2021, with final reviews being assessed as at September 2021 for the Attestation review and December 2021
for the Capital Models review. The interim review of the Attestation Review is in the process of being finalised. The interim review of the Capital
Adequacy Review has been completed. The external reviewer has reported that the Bank has made significant progress to address non-compliance
issues and improvement areas identified by the Capital Adequacy Review, and the programme of work is expected to be completed by December
2021.
The Attestation Review and the Capital Adequacy Review have highlighted the need for a broader programme of improving the Bank's processes
covered by those reviews, and this programme is now in its implementation phase.
Warranties and indemnities
ANZ New Zealand has provided warranties, indemnities and other commitments in favour of the purchaser in connection with various disposals of
businesses and assets and other transactions, covering a range of matters and risks. It is exposed to potential claims under those warranties,
indemnities and commitments.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On 31 March 2021, the RBNZ announced that it was easing the restrictions preventing banks from paying any dividends on ordinary shares and
redeeming non-common equity tier 1 capital instruments that were put in place in April 2020. The changes to the dividend restrictions allow the Bank
to pay up to a maximum of 50% of its earnings as dividends. The 50% dividend restriction will remain in place until 1 July 2022 at which point the
RBNZ intends to remove the restrictions entirely, subject to no significant worsening in economic conditions. The Bank’s conditions of registration
were amended on 29 April 2021 to bring the 50% dividend restriction into effect.

RBNZ review of capital requirements
Between May 2017 and December 2019, the RBNZ conducted a comprehensive review of the capital adequacy framework applying to New Zealand
locally incorporated registered banks. The RBNZ's final decisions on the capital review as they relate to the Bank are set out below. In response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the RBNZ delayed the start date for the increased capital requirements to support credit availability. The new regime is expected
to be implemented in stages from 1 July 2021.
• The Banking Group’s total capital requirement will increase to 18% of RWA, including tier 1 capital of at least 16% of RWA. Up to 2.5% of the tier 1
capital requirement can be made up of additional tier 1 (AT1) capital, with the remainder of the tier 1 requirement made up of common equity
tier 1 (CET1) capital. The increased capital ratios requirement will be implemented progressively from 1 July 2022 to 1 July 2028. AT1 capital must
consist of perpetual preference shares, which may be redeemable. The total capital requirement can also include tier 2 capital of up to 2% of
RWA. Tier 2 capital must consist of long-term subordinated debt.
• The tier 1 capital requirement will include a CET1 prudential capital buffer of 9% of RWA. This will include: a 2% domestic, systemically important
bank capital buffer; a 1.5% 'early-set' counter-cyclical capital buffer, which can be temporarily reduced to 0% following a financial crisis, or
temporarily increased to prevent asset price bubbles from developing; and a 5.5% capital conservation buffer.
• Contingent capital instruments will no longer be treated as eligible regulatory capital. As at 31 March 2021, the Bank had approximately
NZ$2,741 million of AT1 instruments that will progressively lose eligible regulatory capital treatment over a seven year transition period from 1
July 2021 to 1 July 2028.
• As an internal ratings based approach accredited bank, the Banking Group’s RWA outcomes will be increased to approximately 90% of what
would be calculated under the standardised approach. This will be achieved by applying an 85% output floor from 1 January 2022, and
increasing the credit RWA scalar from 1.06 to 1.20 from 1 October 2022.
• The Banking Group will be required to report RWA, and resulting capital ratios, using both the internal models and the standardised approaches
from 1 January 2022.
The RBNZ’s reforms will result in a material increase in the level of capital that the Banking Group is required to hold, although the amount of the
increase is currently uncertain. The reforms could have a material impact on the Banking Group and its business, including on its capital allocation and
business planning.
Since 30 September 2018, CET1 capital has increased by NZ$3.8 billion to NZ$12.9 billion at 31 March 2021 and total capital has increased by NZ$3.8
billion to NZ$15.7 billion, in preparation for these changes and due to the RBNZ’s COVID-19 related dividend restrictions.

Explanation of how changes in the gross carrying amounts of gross loans and advances contributed to changes in loss allowance
Overall, loss allowances are 0.45% of gross balances as at 31 March 2021, down from 0.52% as at 30 September 2020. The NZ$93 million (10.9%)
decrease in loss allowances was driven by a decrease in the proportion of gross balances in Stage 2 and Stage 3, and changes in the forward looking
economic scenarios as described in Note 6 to the financial statements.

that specified under the Basel III capital framework.
APRA has authorised the Ultimate Parent Bank and the Overseas Banking Group to use:

(mainly retail and local corporates in Pacific, and local corporates in Asia) where the Overseas Banking Group applies the standardised approach.

The Overseas Banking Group exceeded the minimum capital requirements set by APRA as at 31 March 2021 and for the comparative prior periods.
The Overseas Banking Group is required to publicly disclose Pillar 3 financial information as at 31 March 2021. The Overseas Banking Group’s Pillar 3

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
35
TO THE DIRECTORS OF A USTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED
REPORT ON THE HALF YEAR DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
BASIS FOR CONCLUSION
A review of the half year disclosure statement in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of
the Entity (NZ SRE 2410) is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
As the auditor of ANZ New Zealand, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial
statements.
Our firm has also provided other services to ANZ New Zealand in relation to review of regulatory returns, internal controls reports, prospectus
assurance, agreed upon procedures and other assurance engagements. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also
deal with ANZ New Zealand on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of ANZ New Zealand. These matters have
not impaired our independence as reviewer of ANZ New Zealand. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, ANZ New Zealand.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE HALF YEAR DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
The Directors, on behalf of ANZ New Zealand, are responsible for:
• the preparation and fair presentation of the half year disclosure statement in accordance with IAS 34, NZ IAS 34 and Schedules 3, 5, 7, 12 and 14
of the Order;
• the preparation and fair presentation of ANZ New Zealand’s disclosures in regards to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy in
accordance with Schedule 9 of the Order;
• implementing necessary internal controls to enable the preparation of a half year disclosure statement that is fairly presented and free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
• assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE REVIEW OF THE HALF YEAR DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half year disclosure statement based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with
NZ SRE 2410. NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to attention that causes us to believe that:
• the interim financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, ANZ New Zealand’s financial position as at 31 March 2021 and its
financial performance and cash flows for the six month period ended on that date;
• the interim financial statements do not, in all material respects, comply with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34;
• the registered bank disclosures in sections B2, B3, and B5 do not, fairly state, in all material respects, the matters to which it relates in accordance
CONCLUSION
Based on our review of the interim financial statements and registered bank disclosures (together referred to as ‘the half year disclosure
statement’) of the New Zealand business of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited and its subsidiaries (ANZ New Zealand) on pages 4
to 33, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that:
• the interim financial statements on pages 4 to 22 do not present fairly in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting, in all material respects, ANZ New Zealand’s financial position as at 31 March 2021 and its financial performance
and cash flows for the six month period ended on that date;
• the registered bank disclosures in sections B2, B3 and B5 disclosed in accordance with Schedules 5, 7, 12 and 14 of the Registered Bank
Disclosure Statements (Overseas Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2014 (as amended) (the Order) respectively, do not fairly state, in all
material respects, the matters to which they relate in accordance with those schedules; and
• the registered bank disclosures relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy in section B4 is not, in all material respects,
disclosed in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Order.
We have completed a review of the accompanying half year disclosure statement which comprises:
• the interim financial statements formed of:
• the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2021;
• the consolidated income statement, statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six month period
then ended; and
• notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
• the registered bank disclosures prescribed in Schedules 5, 7, 9, 12 and 14 of the Order.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

with Schedules 5, 7, 12 and 14 of the Order; and
• the registered bank disclosures relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy in section B4 is not, in all material respects,
disclosed in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Order.
The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards
on Auditing (New Zealand). Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on the half year disclosure statement. This description forms part of our
independent review report.
USE OF THE INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT
This independent review report is made solely to the Directors of ANZ New Zealand. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to
the Directors those matters we are required to state to them in the independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Directors as a body for our work, this independent review
report, or any of the opinions we have formed.
