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

ANZ New Zealand is organised into three major business segments for segment reporting purposes - Retail, Commercial and Institutional. Centralised

back office and corporate functions support these segments. These segments are consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating

decision maker, being the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer.

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

Retail

Retail provides a full range of banking and wealth management services to consumer, private banking and small business banking customers. We

deliver our services via our internet and app-based digital solutions and network of branches, mortgage specialists, relationship managers and contact

centres.

Commercial

Commercial provides a full range of banking services including traditional relationship banking and sophisticated financial solutions through

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

related entities.

Institutional

The Institutional division services governments, global institutional and corporate customers across three product sets: Transaction Banking, Corporate

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.

• Corporate Finance provides loan products, loan syndication, specialised loan structuring and execution, project and export finance, debt

structuring and acquisition finance and corporate advisory.

• Markets provide risk management services on foreign exchange, interest rates, credit, commodities and debt capital markets in addition to

managing ANZ New Zealand’s interest rate exposure and liquidity position.

Other

Other includes treasury and back office support functions, none of which constitutes a separately reportable segment.

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.

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.

Total 30,350

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.

The Ultimate Parent Bank and the Overseas Banking Group are required to hold minimum capital as determined by APRA, which is at least equal to

that specified under the Basel III capital framework.

APRA has authorised the Ultimate Parent Bank and the Overseas Banking Group to use:

• the Advanced Internal Ratings Based (AIRB) methodology for calculation of credit risk weighted assets. There are however small portfolios

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

• the Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) for the operational risk weighted asset equivalent.

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

disclosure document for the quarter ended 31 March 2021, in accordance with APS 330: Public Disclosure of Prudential Information, discloses capital

adequacy ratios and other prudential information. This document can be accessed at the website anz.com.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

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.
