Heartland announces net profit after tax of $47.5 million

for the six months ended 31 December 2021


Heartland Group Holdings Limited (Heartland) (NZX/ASX: HGH) achieved a net profit after tax

(NPAT) of $47.5 million for the six-month period ended 31 December 2021 (1H2022), an increase of

$3.4 million (7.8%) compared with the six-month period ended 31 December 2020 (1H2021). On an

underlying basis (which excludes the impacts of one-offs

1

), 1H2022 NPAT was $47.1 million, an

increase of $3.8 million (8.8%) compared with 1H2021 underlying NPAT.


The first half performance included a pleasing annualised rate of growth in lending (13.9%

2

). It also

demonstrated the benefits of ongoing digitalisation, with a reduction in the cost-to-income (CTI)

ratio.


Impairments were up on 1H2021 (19 basis points (bps)) due to COVID-19 related extensions

3

that

occurred in 1H2021. This was largely successful as reflected in the ‘business as usual’ reported rate

of 33 bps for 1H2022, which is below the six months to 30 June 2021 (2H2021) (43 bps contributing

to the full year outcome of 31 bps) and the financial year ended 30 June 2020 (FY2020) (65 bps).


The introduction of changes to the New Zealand Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003

and the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Regulations 2004 (CCCFA) slowed growth in Motor

and online Home Loans in January and February 2022. This has the potential to impact on the

growth rate for the remainder of the six-month period ending 30 June 2022 (2H2022). This is being

partially offset by growth in other areas, especially Reverse Mortgages in Australia and New Zealand,

and no material reduction in anticipated full year growth is expected.


Highlights for 1H2022

‒ NPAT of $47.5 million, up 7.8% ($3.4 million). Underlying NPAT of $47.1 million, up 8.8% ($3.8

million) on 1H2021 underlying NPAT.

Strategic vision

Heartland’s strategic vision is to create sustainable growth and differentiation by providing best or only

products delivered through scalable digital platforms. There are four strategic elements underpinning

Heartland’s strategic positioning:


1. Business as Usual growth (reported on within ‘Business performance’ from page 5)

2. Frictionless Service at the Lowest Cost

3. Expansion in Australia

4. Acquisitions which fit with and add value to the above.


Frictionless Service at the Lowest Cost


Heartland’s ongoing focus on digital distribution is providing improved reach and customer experience

across integrated platforms, with online access available for almost all of Heartland’s products in New

Zealand and Australia.


The Home Loans platform, launched in October 2020, reached $218.5 million of lending across 422

customers as at 31 January 2022. This online offering has enabled Heartland to consistently provide

customers with market-leading or highly competitive rates. The ambition is for the Home Loans book to

reach $1 billion of lending by the end of the 2023 financial year.


At the same time, the aim is to enhance customer experience by removing friction and creating scale

without costly processes. This will be achieved through automation, self-service digital platforms and

mobile apps. Development is ongoing, and a mobile app will soon be available to support Reverse

Mortgage customers in Australia.


Expansion in Australia


Growth in Australia continues to be a strategic priority, and Heartland is exploring potential acquisitions

as part of this.


Market share in Reverse Mortgages Australia continues to grow, increasing from 28% to 31% over the

past 12 months

7

. In addition, Heartland has expanded its appeal through the launch of Express Reverse

Mortgages in January 2022. This streamlined loan, with a market-leading variable interest rate, targets

homeowners aged 60 to 70.

Based on APRA ADI Property Exposure and Heartland Reverse Mortgages data at 30 September 2020 and 30

September 2021.

COVID-19

Heartland is following government guidance and taking a cautious approach to ensure the safety of its

people, customers and strength of its business. Heartland’s ongoing digitalisation of customer and

product platforms is supportive of this cautious approach, ensuring customers can continue to engage

with Heartland remotely.


Additional economic pressures are also being faced, including the steepening interest rate environment,

higher cost of labour, and inflation increasing globally, with New Zealand recently experiencing its largest

movement in the consumer price index since 1990.


Despite this, the higher levels of growth experienced by Heartland in 2H2021 has continued through

1H2022. As in previous periods, the impact of the pandemic has not disrupted business as usual activity,

noting that the demographics most affected by COVID-19 are under-represented in Heartland’s customer

base.

8



Heartland’s COVID-19 economic overlay of $9.6 million, taken in FY2020, remains unutilised as the impact

of COVID-19 on Heartland’s portfolios has been more benign than initially forecast. The overlay does not

represent any actual losses, but was taken to provide a buffer against any future losses that the

uncertainty of COVID-19 may give rise to.


In the current operating environment, a release of the COVID-19 economic overlay is not yet appropriate

and the overlay has been retained in full. Heartland’s COVID-19 economic overlay remains in place and

available to be applied to any losses stemming from the pandemic.


Financial results

Profitability


NPAT was $47.5 million, a $3.4 million (7.8%) increase on 1H2021. Underlying NPAT was $47.1 million, a

$3.8 million (8.8%) increase on 1H2021.


Return on equity (ROE) was 12.2%, up 7 bps from 1H2021. Underlying ROE was 12.1%, up 21 bps from

1H2021.


Earnings per share (EPS) was 8.1 cents per share (cps), up 0.5 cps from 1H2021. Underlying EPS was 8.0

cps, up 0.6 cps from 1H2021.


1H2022 reported results include one-off items which should be considered when analysing the underlying

result. The impact of these one-off items on the respective financial metrics is outlined in the table below.

Heartland’s total exposure to the retail, accommodation and transport (excluding road freight transport) industries

at 31 December 2021, based on borrower ANZSIC codes, was 1.84%, 1.50% and 1.22% respectively. Heartland’s

exposure to customers aged 15-24 years (those most affected by increases in unemployment) at 31 December 2021

was 3.91% in Motor and 6.10% in Personal Lending.

Income


Total NOI was $130.7 million, an increase of $5.4 million (4.3%) from 1H2021.

Excluding the impact of one-offs

11

, underlying NOI was $10.7 million (8.9%) higher half-on-half. This was

due to a $10.7 million (9.4%) increase in net interest income, driven by a $460.3 million (8.8%) higher

average interest earning assets in 1H2022 than in 1H2021, and a 3 bps increase in NIM compared with

1H2021. Underlying other operating income remained stable half-on-half.


Expenses


Operating expenses were $57.3 million, a decrease of $3.8 million (6.3%) on 1H2021. Excluding the

impact of one-offs, the underlying operating expenses were $1.4 million (2.5%) higher compared with

1H2021.

Higher underlying operating expenses were primarily due to a $1.9 million (26.9%) increase in IT and

communication expenses driven by software amortisation and licencing costs as a result of continued

investments in technology and digital capabilities.

The CTI ratio decreased to 43.8%, down 5.0 pps compared with 1H2021. The underlying CTI ratio

decreased 2.7 pps to 43.1%. It is expected to continue trending downwards.


Impairment expense


Impairment expense increased by $4.0 million (88.1%) to $8.5 million, reflecting the benefit of post-

COVID-19 remediation activity which occurred in 1H2021, together with a return to more normal levels of

asset growth and associated provisioning in 2H2021, continuing into 1H2022.


Lower impairments in 1H2021 of 19 bps were due to COVID-19 related extensions (including under the

Heartland Extend product or the New Zealand Government’s BFGS). These were largely successful in

allowing time for borrowers to remediate, as reflected in the ‘business as usual’ reported rate of 33 bps

for 1H2022, which is below 2H2021 (43 bps contributing to the full year outcome of 31 bps) and FY2020

(65 bps).


Financial position


Total assets increased during 1H2022 by $315.8 million (5.6%), driven by a $339.4 million (13.9%)

12


increase in Receivables, offset by a $36.0 million (6.7%) decrease in liquid assets.


Receivables growth was experienced primarily in Home Loans, Australian Reverse Mortgages, Motor,

New Zealand Reverse Mortgages, Business Relationship and Asset Finance, partly offset by decreases in

the Harmoney Corp Limited (Harmoney) originated personal loan portfolio, Open for Business (O4B) and

Rural Relationship. With the continued tilt of the Receivables portfolio mix towards higher quality and

lower risk assets, maintaining the current levels of NIM will pose a challenge in the coming periods. This,

however, is expected to be mitigated by a lower cost origination model and impairment expense

benefitting from an improved book quality.

Borrowings

13

increased by $290.8 million (6.0%). Deposits increased $149.0 million, and other funding

increased $141.8 million, primarily due to growth in Australian Reverse Mortgages.

Net assets increased by $16.5 million to $778.2 million. Net tangible assets (NTA) increased by $8.9

million to $687.4 million, resulting in an NTA per share of $1.17 (30 June 2021: $1.16).


Business performance

Asset Finance


Asset Finance lending NOI was $15.8 million, an increase of $2.4 million (17.9%) compared with 1H2021.

Asset Finance Receivables increased $35.7 million (12.4%)

12

to $606.6 million. The underlying demand

from transport, logistics and other productive sectors has remained consistent.


Wholesale Lending

14



Wholesale Lending NOI was $15.7 million, an increase of $3.5 million (28.8%) compared with 1H2021.

Wholesale Lending Receivables increased $38.4 million (13.7%)

122

to $593.4 million. Contributing to this

growth was a funding facility provided to Go Car Finance in 2H2021 for its New Zealand loan book, along

with the expansion of wholesale motor vehicle dealer groups. This aligns with Heartland’s strategy to

diversify distribution in motor vehicle finance.


O4B


O4B NOI was $7.2 million, a decrease of $0.3 million (4.2%) compared with 1H2021. This reflects still

subdued confidence resulting from COVID-19 related lockdowns and travel restrictions.



12

Annualised 1H2022 growth excluding the impact of changes in FX rates.

13

Includes retail deposits and other borrowings.

14

Wholesale Lending includes what was formally known as Business Relationship, reflecting Heartland’s strategy in

this sector.

Heartland Group Holdings Limited | 0800 85 20 20 | PO Box 9919, Newmarket, Auckland 1149 | shareholders.heartland.co.nz
6

O4B Receivables decreased $6.8 million (9.3%)

12

to $137.7 million. The availability of the New Zealand

Government’s COVID-19 support packages for small businesses slowed growth in this segment from the

six-month period to 30 June 2020 (2H2020) and continues to feature.


Motor


Motor NOI was $36.4 million, an increase of $3.4 million (10.4%) compared with 1H2021.


Motor Receivables increased $57.1 million (8.8%)

12

to $1,350.8 million. Increases were driven by organic

growth from Heartland’s existing dealer network, increase in intermediaries, and key partnerships

through Heartland’s 'white label' strategy. Franchises contributed 48.2% of origination as new car sales

recovered in 2021 after record lows in 2020.


Personal Lending


Total portfolio NOI was $5.4 million, a decrease of $3.4 million (38.8%) compared with 1H2021.

Harmoney NOI was $3.9 million, a decrease of $3.0 million (43.3%) compared with 1H2021.

Total portfolio Receivables decreased by $45.7 million (68.5%)

12

, with the New Zealand Harmoney

portfolio contracting $38.0 million (98.1%)

12

to $38.8 million, while the Australian Harmoney portfolio

decreased by $18.1 million (73.7%)

12

to $30.7 million. Both the New Zealand and Australian portfolios

continued to contract in 1H2022 as a result of high repayments combined with limited growth.

Home Loans


Heartland’s digital Home Loans channel experienced strong growth in 1H2022, with Receivables

increasing $163.2 million (649.2%)

12

to $213.1 million in 1H2022.

Lending growth continued to be supported by Heartland’s low interest rates, currently market-leading for

2- and 3-year fixed rates, as well as for its standard floating rate. Positive momentum is expected to

resume following the usual slowdown over the summer holiday period. This will be assisted by a new

intermediary partnership currently being piloted with NZ Financial Services Group (NZFSG) under the

‘Engage Home Loans’ white label brand. NZFSG is the largest mortgage broker aggregator in the country,

with a network of around 900 residential mortgage advisors.


Rising interest rates motivated many home loan borrowers to review their mortgage providers, driving an

increase in the volume of home loan applications received by Heartland. More than 7,840 applications

were received during 1H2022, an increase of 29.2% on the 6,067 applications received during 2H2021.


Rural


Rural lending NOI was $15.5 million, which remained stable compared with 1H2021.

Receivables decreased by $2.5 million (0.9%)

12

to $584.1 million. This is made up of a decrease in

Livestock Receivables of $12.9 million (23.5%)

12

to $96.4 million, partly offset by a $10.4 million (4.3%)

12


increase in Rural Receivables to $487.7 million.

While the balance date position for Livestock reflects seasonal lows and low utilisation rates (impacted by

climatic conditions), the average receivables position through the period was up 7.1% on 31 December

2020. Total approved limits have also increased by $15.6 million (8.0%) to $211.3 million since 30 June

2021 ($195.7 million).

Heartland Group Holdings Limited | 0800 85 20 20 | PO Box 9919, Newmarket, Auckland 1149 | shareholders.heartland.co.nz
7

Growth in approved limits and receivables has continued through January and February (limits are up a

further $8.5 million and the book balance is up $5.3 million as at 18 February 2022), supporting

Heartland’s positive outlook for Livestock through to 30 June 2022.

Results from the Sheep & Beef Direct platform introduced in 1H2021 have been positive, with $54.8

million of growth in 1H2022. Plans are underway to pilot Dairy Direct, a digital platform responding to the

growing need for dairy farmers to have access to online finance, similar to Heartland’s Sheep & Beef

Direct.

New Zealand Reverse Mortgages


New Zealand Reverse Mortgages NOI was $15.3 million, an increase of $4.1 million (36.6%) compared

with 1H2021 due to record asset growth and improved margins.

Receivables increased $47.4 million (15.6%)

12

to $648.9 million, exceeding growth in the entire financial

year ended 30 June 2021 (FY2021), due to:

‒ strong new business which was 69% higher than 1H2021

‒ increased awareness and acceptance of reverse mortgages as a solution to help older home owners

to live a more comfortable retirement

‒ continued enhancement of the product and application process

‒ favourable market conditions with higher house prices and low interest rates

‒ positive forward indicators, with enquiry levels up 65% in the 2021 calendar year, and the customer

pipeline at 31 December 2021 more than triple that at 31 December 2020.


Australian Reverse Mortgages


NOI was $19.0 million, an increase of $0.9 million (4.7%) compared with 1H2021.

Receivables increased by $65.4 million (12.1%)

12

to $1.14 billion. New business was strong, driving higher

than expected new lending, due to a buoyant property market and repayments below long-term averages

in December. The direct channel experienced 18% growth in new business compared with 1H2021, while

the intermediary channel experienced 8% growth in new business during the same period (intermediaries

now contribute 51% to new loan origination).


Australian Reverse Mortgages continued an engaged relationship with the broker channel, including

ongoing relationships with mortgage aggregators in Australia, partnerships with Australian Finance

Group, Choice Aggregation and PLAN Australia, and being added to FAST Aggregation’s lender panel in

July 2021.


Impact of CCCFA changes


The introduction of new CCCFA responsible lending regulations in December 2021 has had an industry-

wide impact on decline rates, resulting in reduced lending volumes. The interrogation of activity in bank

statements needed to satisfy the new standards has been well publicised and, amongst other things, has

slowed down loan processing.


Heartland is engaged with the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment and the Commerce

Commission in explaining the impact of the changes on Heartland and its prospective customers, and

awaits the output of the ministerial review currently underway.

Funding and liquidity

Heartland increased borrowings by $290.8 million (6.0%), contributed to by increases in both New

Zealand and Australia.


New Zealand


Heartland Bank increased borrowings by $236.4 million (6.4%).


Deposits grew $117.0 million (3.6%), primarily driven by a $299.6 million increase in Heartland Bank’s 32-

Day Notice Saver product which was launched in July 2021 at a market-leading rate.


Call deposits decreased by $114.5 million (12.1%), which decreased the call to total deposit ratio to 26%

as at 31 December 2021 (30 June 2021: 30%), providing a significant opportunity to attract lower cost

deposits during the second half of the financial year.


Term deposits decreased $66.0 million (3.0%), while retention remained strong at over 87%.


Other borrowings increased $119.5 million (23.8%) primarily due to a $126.6 million increase in

securitisation funding. This was as a result of higher utilisation following an increase in Heartland Bank’s

committed auto warehouse facility from $300 million to $400 million in September 2021.


Heartland Bank decreased total liquidity by $36.3 million (7.7%), reflecting a return to more normalised

levels with regulatory liquidity ratios well in excess of regulatory minimums.


Heartland Bank’s capital position progressively increased during 1H2022, reflecting its continued strong

profitability and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) restrictions on distributions imposed in

2H2020. As a result, Heartland Bank’s regulatory capital ratio was 13.98% as at 31 December 2021 (30

June 2021: 13.88%), well in excess of regulatory minimums of 10.50%, providing a strong platform for

growth and for Heartland Bank to meet the RBNZ’s future higher capital requirements. These

requirements are for a core capital ratio of 11.50% and a total capital ratio of 16.00% by 1 July 2028.


Australia


The Heartland Australia group (comprising Heartland Australia Holdings Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries)

increased borrowings by A$32.9 million (3.0%), largely as a result of new issuance of an A$45 million

Medium Term Note (MTN) issued in July 2021 to support growth in the portfolio.


Both of Heartland Australia’s reverse mortgage funding warehouses are in the process of being expanded,

including the introduction of a new mezzanine funder, and extended from their current maturity dates.


Regulatory update

A significant volume of regulatory change continues. Changes to the CCCFA came into force on 1

December 2021 (with the effective date slightly delayed due to COVID-19). Heartland has implemented

new processes, including employing new technologies such as bank statement retrieval, to enable it to

comply with the changes, and continues to refine these.


New legislation (to be known as the Deposit Takers Act) is being developed to strengthen the regulatory

framework for all institutions that take deposits (including Heartland Bank), and introduce a new deposit

insurance scheme, overseen by the RBNZ. An exposure draft of the Deposit Takers Bill has been received.

Heartland is involved in submissions on the exposure draft through the New Zealand Bankers Association.

Sustainability update

Heartland’s sustainability goals for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 (FY2022) can be found on page

66 of Heartland’s FY2021 Annual Report, and also found at shareholders.heartland.co.nz. Heartland’s

sustainability strategy is built on three key pillars: environmental conservation, social equity and

economic prosperity. The below outlines Heartland’s progress towards its sustainability goals in 1H2022.


Environmental conservation


‒ FY2021 emissions will be formally reported in the FY2022 Annual Report. Further Greenhouse Gas

(GHG) emissions reductions are expected through FY2021 and 1H2022, due in part to deliberate

emissions reduction activity and the impact of COVID-19 on increased remote working.

‒ Hybrid vehicles placed on order to replace all internal petrol/diesel 4WD vehicles (equating to 23% of

Heartland’s total fleet), with deliveries expected to be completed by June 2022. Heartland intends to

start the process of replacing the remainder of its petrol engine fleet during the 2022 calendar year.

‒ Continued to provide finance for electric and hybrid vehicles through ‘white label’ partners who have

committed to increasing the number of electric and hybrid vehicle options available in the market.


Social equity


‒ Rainbow Tick accreditation achieved in November 2021, creating an environment where people feel

comfortable bringing their whole selves to work.

‒ Three new members joined the Rangatahi Advisory Board, a shadow board for employees aged 35

and under, focused on progressing key business initiatives, co-chaired by two of Heartland’s

emerging leaders.

‒ Now in its fifth year, the Manawa Ako internship programme continued virtually in January and

February 2022, welcoming 26 Māori and Pasifika interns to Heartland Bank.


Economic prosperity


‒ Total shareholder return (TSR) was 128.9% over the last five years (17 February 2017 – 17 February

2022) compared with the NZX50 Index TSR of 80.7% in the same period.

‒ Maximum loan-to-value ratios (LVR) were increased on Heartland’s New Zealand and Australian

Reverse Mortgage products – the first time LVR limits have increased since 2004, providing

customers with increased opportunity to live a more comfortable retirement.


Interim dividend

Heartland is pleased to declare a 1H2022 interim dividend of 5.5 cps (1.5 cps up on 1H2021) despite the

partial dividend restrictions imposed by the RBNZ on distributions by banks remaining in force until 1 July

2022. Heartland’s interim dividend yield of 7.4%

15

compares with 4.8%

16

in 1H2021.


The interim dividend will be paid on Wednesday 16 March 2022 (Payment Date) to shareholders on the

company’s register as at 5.00pm on Wednesday 2 March 2022 (Record Date) and will be fully imputed.

Following the momentum experienced in 2H2021, Heartland’s 1H2022 NPAT exceeded expectations,

despite a challenging backdrop of continued COVID-19 impacts and legislative disruption.


Strong asset growth has been achieved in 1H2022, though growth in 2H2022 is expected to slow in Motor

and online Home Loans as a result of the CCCFA legislation impacts. The continued shift in portfolio mix

toward higher quality and lower risk assets is also expected to impact NIM in 2H2022, however it is

anticipated this will be mitigated as operational efficiency and asset quality continue to improve.


Increased digitalisation and automation have continued to increase Heartland’s ability to pass cost-

savings to customers in the form of market-leading or competitive rates, thereby leading to the CTI ratio

trending downwards. It is anticipated that this will continue through 2H2022.


Heartland expects NPAT for FY2022 to be within the guidance range of $93 million to $96 million.

This presentation has been prepared by Heartland Group

Holdings Limited (NZX/ASX: HGH) (the Companyor Heartland)

for the purpose of briefings in relation to its financialstatements.

The presentation and the briefing (together the Presentation)

contain summary information only, which should not be relied on

in isolation from the full detail in the financialstatements.

The information in the Presentation has been prepared with due

care and attention. However, no person (including the Company

and its directors, shareholders and employees) will be liable to

any other person for any loss arising in connection with the

Presentation.

The Presentation outlines a number of the Company’s forward-

looking plans and projections. Those plans and projections reflect

current expectations, but are inherently subject to risk and

uncertainty, and may change at any time. There is no assurance

that those plans will be implemented or that projections will be

realised.

No person is under any obligation to update this presentation at

any time after its release or toprovide further information about

theCompany.

The information in this presentation is of a general nature and

does not constitute financial product advice, investment

advice or any recommendation. Nothing in this presentation

constitutes legal, financial, tax or otheradvice.

Non-GAAPmeasures

This presentation contains references to non-GAAP measures

including underlying profit or loss, underlying ROE, underlying CTI

ratios and underlying EPS. A reconciliation between reported and

the non-GAAP measure of underlying financial information is

included on page 32.

Because Heartland complies with accounting standards, investors

know that comparisons can be made with confidence between

reported profits and those of other companies, and there is

integrity in Heartland’s reporting approach. These non-GAAP

figures are provided as a supplementary measure for readers to

assess Heartland’s performance alongside NZ GAAP reported

measures, where one-offs, both positive and negative, canmake

it difficult to compare profits between years. However, these do

not have standardisedmeanings and should not be viewed in

isolation nor considered a substitute for measures reported in

accordance with NZGAAP.

Non-GAAP financial information has been subject to review by

KPMG.

COVID-19

•Impairment expense increased by $4.0 million (88.1%) to $8.5 million.

•Impairment expense as a percentage of average receivables increased

from 0.19% in 1H2021 to 0.33% in 1H2022.

•Lower impairments in 1H2021 of 19 bps weredue to COVID-19 related

extensions that occurred in 1H2021.

•Extensions were largely successful in allowing time for borrowers to

remediate, as reflected in ‘business as usual’reported rate of 33 bps for

1H2022 which is below 2H2021 (43 bps contributing to the full year

outcome of 31 bps) and FY2020 (65 bps).

•The impact of COVID-19 has not disrupted business as usual activity.

•Heartland is following government guidance and taking a cautious

approach to ensure the safety of its people, customers and strength of its

business.

•A degree of caution exercised due to the ongoing economic impacts of

COVID-19 andadditional economic pressures being faced –including

steepening interest rate environment, higher cost of labour and

inflation increasing globally.

•In the circumstances, a release of the COVID-19 economic overlay is not

yet appropriate and the overlay has been retained in full.

Looking
forward

•1H2022 NPAT exceeded expectations, despite a

challenging backdrop of continued COVID-19

impacts and legislative disruption.

•Strong asset growth has been achieved, though

2H2022 growth is expected to slow in Motor and

online Home Loans as a result of CCCFA impact.

•Continued shift in portfolio mix toward higher

quality and lower risk assets is expected to

impact NIM in 2H2022, however will be

mitigated as operational efficiency and asset

quality continue to improve.

•Increased digitalisation and automation have

continued to increase Heartland’s ability to pass

cost-savings to customers, leading to the CTI

ratio trending downwards.

•Heartland expects NPAT for FY2022to be in the range

of $93 millionto $96 million.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

For the six months ended 31 December 2021

1 Interim financial statements preparation

Basis of preparation

The interim financial statements presented are the consolidated interim financial statements comprising Heartland Group

Holdings Limited (HGH) and its subsidiaries (the Group). They have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted

Accounting Practices in New Zealand (NZ GAAP) as defined in the Financial Reporting Act 2013. These consolidated interim

financial statements comply with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as appropriate for publicly accountable for-profit entities

and NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The consolidated interim financial statements do not include all notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report.

Accordingly this report is to be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021

and any public announcements made by the Group during the interim reporting period.

The consolidated interim financial statements presented here are for the following periods:

•6 month period ended 31 December 2021 – Unaudited

•6 month period ended 31 December 2020 – Unaudited

•12 month period ended 30 June 2021 – Audited

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern and historical cost basis, unless stated

otherwise. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim

reporting period.

Certain comparative balances have been reclassified to align with the presentation used in the current financial year. These

reclassifications have no impact on the overall financial performance or financial position for the comparative year.

Change in accounting policy

There have been no changes to accounting policies or new or amended standards that are issued and effective that are expected

to have a material impact on the Group.

Accounting standards issued not yet effective

The final version of NZ IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts was issued in August 2017 and is applicable to general and life insurance

contracts. The standard will be effective for the Group’s reporting for the financial year ending 30 June 2024, including 30 June

2023 comparatives.

MARAC Insurance Limited (MIL), a subsidiary of Heartland Bank Limited (HBL), ceased writing insurance policies in 2020 with the

periodic policies expected to expire in 2025.

Other amendments to existing standards that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

P.12
1 Interim financial statements preparation (continued)

Estimates and judgements

There have been no material changes to the use of estimates and judgements for the preparation of the interim financial

statements since the reporting date of the previous financial statements. The Group’s financial statements for the year ended 30

June 2021 contain detail on the estimates and judgements used.

Covid-19 pandemic - impact on estimates and judgements

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the Group adopting an economic overlay for expected credit losses (ECL) to its portfolios as at

30 June 2020 of pre-tax $9.6 million in response to the uncertain but potential economic impact of COVID-19 on HGH's borrowers

(COVID Overlay). The COVID Overlay was sized based on a range of techniques including stress testing, benchmarking, scenario

analysis and expert judgement.

To date, the impact of COVID-19 on HGH's borrowers has been more benign than was initially forecast, and the COVID Overlay has

not been utilised. However, the continued prevalence of COVID-19 in other countries (including the emergence of new variants),

together with vaccination rates and border closures provide an ongoing risk of further economic disruption in New Zealand. This

may impact borrowers with the potential for further inflationary pressures, increased interest rates and expected higher

employment costs resulting from a restricted supply of labour.

With the uncertainties associated to the ongoing economic impacts of COVID-19, the COVID Overlay has been retained in full at

this stage.

The accounting judgement that is most impacted by the COVID Overlay is the ECL on finance receivables at amortised cost. The

Group measures the allowance for ECL using an impairment model in compliance with NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

Performance

2 Segmental analysis

Segment information is presented in respect of the Group's operating segments which are those used for the Group's

management and internal reporting structure.

Operating segments

The Group operates within New Zealand and Australia and comprises the following main operating segments:

Motor Motor vehicle finance.

Reverse mortgages Reverse mortgage lending in New Zealand.

Personal lending Transactional, home loans and personal loans to individuals.

Business Term debt, plant and equipment finance, commercial mortgage lending and working capital solutions for

small-to-medium sized businesses.

Rural Specialist financial services to the farming sector primarily offering livestock finance, rural mortgage

lending, seasonal and working capital financing, as well as leasing solutions to farmers.

Australia Reverse mortgage lending and other financial services within Australia.

Certain operating expenses, such as premises, IT, support centre costs and tax expense are not allocated to operating segments

and are included in Other. Finance receivables are allocated across the operating segments as assets and liabilities are managed

centrally and therefore are not allocated across the operating segments.

The Group's operating segments are different from the industry categories detailed in Note 14 Credit risk exposure. The operating

segments are primarily categorised by sales channel, whereas Note 14 Credit risk exposure categorises exposures based on credit

risk concentrations.

12 Fair value

(a)Financial instruments measured at fair value

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial asset and liability measured

at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The Group has an established framework in performing valuations required for financial reporting purposes including Level 3 fair

values. The Group regularly reviews and calibrates significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments in accordance with

market participants’ views. If external valuation specialists are engaged to measure fair values, the Group assesses the evidence

obtained from these specialists to support the conclusion of these valuations. All significant valuations are reported to the

Group's Board Audit and Risk Committee for approval prior to its adoption in the financial statements.

Investments

Investments in public sector securities and corporate bonds are stated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI),

with the fair value being based on quoted market prices (Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy) or modelled using observable

market inputs (Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy).

Investments valued under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued either based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes for

similar instruments, or discounted cash flows analysis.

Investments in equity securities are classified as fair value through profit or loss unless an irrevocable election is made by the

Group to measure at FVOCI. Investment in listed securities traded in liquid, active markets where prices are readily observable are

measured under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy with no modelling or assumptions used in the valuation. Investments in

unlisted equity securities are measured under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy with the fair value being based on unobservable

inputs using market accepted valuation techniques. Where appropriate, the Group may apply adjustments to the above

mentioned techniques to determine fair value of an equity security to reflect the underlying characteristics. These adjustments

are reflective of market participant considerations in valuing the said security.

Equity Investment in Harmoney Corp Limited

Harmoney Corp Limited (Harmoney) listed on the ASX with a foreign exempt listing on the NZX on 19 November 2020, raising AU

$92.5 million as part of its Initial Public Offering (IPO). As part of the IPO, HGH, alongside other major shareholders, employees

and directors, entered into escrow arrangements that restrict the ability to sell its Harmoney shares, with approximately 72% of

total shares were subject to escrow arrangements (Escrow Restrictions) from the time that Harmoney completed its IPO. There

are two categories of escrowed shares: being unaffiliated escrow shareholders and affiliated escrow shareholders. The timing of

release of escrowed shareholdings is dependent on these categories. The escrowed shareholdings for unaffiliated escrow

shareholders have a two staged release with the first 50% of those escrowed shares released in September 2021 and the

remaining 50% expected to be released at the time or after the release of Harmoney half year financial report for financial year

2022 (FY22). HGH is considered an unaffiliated escrow shareholder for its shareholding recorded at the time of the IPO. The

escrowed shareholdings for affiliated escrow shareholders have a three stage release with the first 25% released in September

2021, a second 25% expected to be released at the time of or after the release of the Harmoney FY22 half year financial report

and the remaining 50% of the affiliated escrow shares (representing 17.7% of the total Harmoney shares on issue) expected to be

released at the time or after the release of the FY22 annual audited financial report.

The Escrow Restrictions have significantly reduced the available trading pool of shares, resulting in an illiquid market for the

instrument, wide bid-ask spreads and volume that is insufficient to meet the definition of an active market under NZ IFRS 13 Fair

Value Measurement for purposes of Harmoney shares traded. As such the quoted price of Harmoney as at 31 December 2021 is

not considered a reliable evidence of fair value and accordingly HGH’s equity investment in Harmoney has not been measured

under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Consistent with prior reporting periods, the fair value of HGH’s investment in Harmoney has been measured under Level 3 of the

fair value hierarchy using unobservable inputs under a market approach valuation technique. Factors considered relevant to

market participants such as observed trading volumes, bid-ask spreads, market prices of Harmoney’s shares, revenue multiples,

analyst valuations, the impact of Escrow Restrictions, as well as publicly available financial information for Harmoney have all

been taken into account when measuring fair value at reporting date.

P.26
12 Fair value (continued)

(a)Financial instruments measured at fair value (continued)

Investments (continued)

The investment is primarily measured using the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Harmoney shares traded on the ASX

across a period required to capture sufficient volume and moderate share price volatility attributable to the aforementioned

factors. The VWAP period considered to be the most appropriate, reflecting the characteristics of the underlying share trading

that has occurred, is 6 months to reporting date. This VWAP has been further evaluated through a composite valuation weighting

the closing price of Harmoney shares, revenue multiples of comparable public companies, IPO price and analyst valuations. Both

the VWAP and composite valuation approaches derive reasonably consistent outcomes.

The fair value measurement of HGH’s equity investment in Harmoney was AU $1.90 per share as at reporting date. This was a 6%

premium to the market closing price of AU $1.80 as at 31 December 2021, which if used as the basis for measuring fair value

would result in a $1.1 million lower fair value than that reported. The fair value of the Investment was previously measured at AU

$1.90 per share at 30 June 2021.

Investment properties

Investment properties are initially recorded at their fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

Fair value are determined by qualified independent valuers or other similar external evidence, adjusted for changes in market

conditions.

Investment properties are typically acquired through the enforcement of security over finance receivables and are held to earn

rental income or for capital appreciation (or both).

Finance receivables - reverse mortgages

Reverse mortgage loans are classified at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). On initial recognition the Group considers the

transaction price to represent the fair value of the loan.

For subsequent measurement the Group has considered if the fair value can be determined by reference to a relevant active

market or observable inputs, but has concluded relevant support is not currently available. In the absence of such market

evidence the Group has used valuation techniques (income approach) including actuarial assessments to consider the fair value.

When the Group enters into a reverse mortgage loan the Group has set expectations regarding the loan’s current and future risk

profile and expectation of performance. This expectation references a wide range of assumptions including:

•Mortality and potential move into care;

•Voluntary exits;

•House price changes;

•No negative equity guarantee; and

•Interest rate margin.

At balance date the Group does not consider any of the above expectations to have moved outside of the original expectation

range. Therefore the Group has continued to estimate the fair value of the portfolio at transaction price. There has been no fair

value movement recognised in profit or loss during the period. Fair value is not highly sensitive to the above assumptions due to

the nature of reverse mortgage loans. In particular, given conservative origination loan-to-value ratio criteria, a material

deterioration in house prices combined with a material increase in interest rates over a sustained period of time would likely need

to occur before any potential impact to fair value. While noting the significant uncertainty around future economic conditions,

based on current judgment there is no evidence that COVID-19 has impacted or will have a long-term adverse impact on market

conditions, particularly regarding the key elements of house prices or interest rates, that would materially influence the fair value

of the reverse mortgage portfolio at balance date.

The Group will continue to reassess the existence of a relevant active market and movements in expectations on an on-going

basis.

P.27
12 Fair value (continued)

(a)Financial instruments measured at fair value (continued)

Derivative financial instruments

Interest rate and foreign currency related contracts are recognised in the financial statements at fair value. Fair values are

determined from observable market prices as at the reporting date, discounted cash flow models or option pricing models as

appropriate (Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy).

The following table analyses financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date by the level in the fair value

hierarchy into which each fair value measurement is categorised. The amounts are based on the values recognised in the

consolidated statement of financial position.

15 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment obligations as they fall due. The timing mismatch of cash

flows and the related liquidity risk in all banking operations is closely monitored by the Group.

Measurement of liquidity risk is designed to ensure that the Group has the ability to generate or obtain sufficient cash in a timely

manner and at a reasonable price to meet its financial commitments on a daily basis.

The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk is governed by a policy approved by the Board and managed by the Asset and Liability

Committee (ALCO). This policy sets out the nature of the risk which may be taken and aggregate risk limits, which ALCO must

observe. Within this, the objective of the ALCO is to derive the most appropriate strategy for the Group in terms of a mix of assets

and liabilities given its expectations of future cash flows, liquidity constraints and capital adequacy. The ALCO employs asset and

liability cash flow modelling to determine appropriate liquidity and funding strategies.

Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) facilities

In March 2020, the Bank was on boarded by the RBNZ as an approved counterparty and executed a 2011 Global Master Repo

Agreement providing an additional source for intra-day liquidity for the Group if required.

From 26 May 2020, the RBNZ made available a Term Lending Facility (TLF) to offer loans for a fixed term of three years at the

Official Cash Rate, with access to the funds linked to banks’ lending under the Business Finance Guarantee Scheme. On 25 May

2021, RBNZ announced to close TLF applications on 28 July 2021.

Additional stimulus provided through a Funding for Lending Programme also commenced in December 2020 designed to enable

banks to provide low-cost lending to the customer.

The Group had not utilised any of these facilities as at 31 December 2021.

The Group holds the following liquid assets and committed funding sources for the purpose of managing liquidity risk:

Contractual liquidity profile of financial liabilities

The following tables present the Group's financial liabilities by relevant maturity groupings based upon contractual maturity date.

The amounts disclosed in the tables represent undiscounted future principal and interest cash flows. As a result, the amounts in

the tables below may differ to the amounts reported on the consolidated statement of financial position.

The contractual cash flows presented below may differ significantly from actual cash flows. This occurs as a result of future

actions by the Group and its counterparties, such as early repayments or refinancing of term loans and borrowings. Deposits and

other public borrowings include customer savings deposits and transactional accounts, which are at call. These accounts provide a

stable source of long term funding for the Group.

A structured entity is one which has been designed such that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who

controls the entity. Structured entities are created to accomplish a narrow and well-defined objective such as the securitisation or

holding of particular assets or the execution of a specific borrowing or lending transaction. Structured entities are consolidated

where the substance of the relationship is that the Group controls the structured entity.

18 Insurance business, securitisation, funds management, other fiduciary activities

Insurance business

MIL, a subsidiary of HBL, ceased writing insurance policies in 2020 with the periodic policies expected to expire in 2025.

The Group's aggregate amount of insurance business comprises the total consolidated assets of MIL of $8.3 million (December

2020: $10.8 million; June 2021: $8.5 million), which represents 0.14% of the total consolidated assets of the Group (December

2020: 0.20%; June 2021: 0.15%).

Securitisation, funds management and other fiduciary activities

There have been no material changes to the Group’s involvement in securitisation activities. There have been no material changes

to the Group’s involvement in funds management and other fiduciary activities, in either case since the reporting date of the

previous financial statements.

Risk management

The Group has in place policies and procedures to ensure that the fiduciary activities identified above are conducted in an

appropriate manner. It is considered that these policies and procedures will ensure that any difficulties arising from these

activities will not impact adversely on the Group. There has been no material changes to those policies and procedures since the

reporting date of the previous financial statements.

Provision of financial services and asset purchases

Over the accounting period, financial services provided by the Group to entities which were involved in the activities above

(including trust, custodial, funds management and other fiduciary activities) were provided on arm's length terms and conditions

and at fair value.

Any assets purchased from such entities have been purchased on arm's length terms and conditions and at fair value.

19 Contingent liabilities and commitments

The Group, in the ordinary course of business, will be subject to claims and proceedings against it whereby the validity of the

claim will only be confirmed by uncertain future events. In such circumstances, the contingent liabilities would become possible

obligations, or present obligations if known, where the transfer of economic benefit is uncertain or cannot be reliably measured.

Contingent Liabilities are not recognised, but are disclosed, unless they are deemed remote. Where some loss is considered

probable, provisions have been made on a case by case basis.

Independent Review Report

To the shareholders of Heartland Group Holdings Limited

Report on the consolidated interim financial statements of Heartland Group Holdings Limited (the

“Group”)

Conclusion

We have completed a review of the accompanying

consolidated interim financial statements which

comprise:

— the consolidated interim statement of financial

position as at 31 December 2021;

— the consolidated interim statements of

comprehensive income, changes in equity and

cash flows for the 6 month period then ended;

and

— notes, including a summary of significant

accounting policies and other explanatory

information.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our

attention that causes us to believe that the

consolidated interim financial statements on pages

5 to 38 do not:

i. present, in all material respects the

Group’s financial position as at 31

December 2021 and its financial

performance and cash flows for the 6

month period ended on that date; and

ii. comply with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial

Reporting.


Basis for conclusion

A review of consolidated interim financial statements 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 Heartland Group Holdings Limited, 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 the Group in relation to financial statement audits, regulatory

assurance services, agreed upon procedure engagements and supervisor reporting. Subject to certain

restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the Group on normal terms within the

ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the Group. These matters have not impaired our

independence as reviewer of the Group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the Group.

Use of this Independent Review Report

This report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we

might state to the shareholders 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 shareholders as a body for our review work, this report, or any of the

opinions we have formed.

cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the review of the consolidated interim

financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements 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 our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all

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 these consolidated interim financial statements.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements


For the six months ended 31 December 2021


1 Interim financial statements preparation


Basis of preparation


The interim financial statements presented are the consolidated interim financial statements comprising Heartland Bank Limited

(the Bank or HBL) and its subsidiaries (the Banking Group). They have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted

Accounting Practices in New Zealand (NZ GAAP) as defined in the Financial Reporting Act 2013. These consolidated interim

financial statements comply with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as appropriate for publicly accountable for-profit entities

and NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.


The Disclosure Statement does not include all notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly this

report is to be read in conjunction with the Disclosure Statement for the year ended 30 June 2021 and any public announcements

made by the Bank during the interim reporting period.


The consolidated interim financial statements presented here are for the following periods:


• 6 month period ended 31 December 2021 – Unaudited

• 6 month period ended 31 December 2020 – Unaudited

• 12 month period ended 30 June 2021 – Audited


The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern and historical cost basis, unless stated

otherwise. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim

reporting period.


Certain comparative balances have been reclassified to align with the presentation used in the current financial year. These

reclassifications have no impact on the overall financial performance or financial position for the comparative year.


Change in accounting policy


There have been no changes to accounting policies or new or amended standards that are issued and effective that are expected

to have a material impact on the Banking Group.


Accounting standards issued not yet effective


The final version of NZ IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts was issued in August 2017 and is applicable to general and life insurance

contracts. The standard will be effective for the Banking Group’s reporting for the financial year ending 30 June 2024, including 30

June 2023 comparatives.


MARAC Insurance Limited (MIL), a subsidiary of HBL, ceased writing insurance policies in 2020 with the periodic policies expected

to expire in 2025.


Other amendments to existing standards that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Banking

Group.


P. 12

1 Interim financial statements preparation (continued)


Estimates and judgements


There have been no material changes to the use of estimates and judgements for the preparation of the interim financial

statements since the reporting date of the previous financial statements. The Banking Group’s Disclosure Statement for the year

ended 30 June 2021 contain detail on the estimates and judgements used.


Covid-19 pandemic - impact on estimates and judgements


The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the Banking Group adopting an economic overlay for expected credit losses (ECL) to its

portfolios as at 30 June 2020 of pre-tax $9.6 million in response to the uncertain but potential economic impact of COVID-19 on

HBL's borrowers (COVID Overlay). The COVID Overlay was sized based on a range of techniques including stress testing,

benchmarking, scenario analysis and expert judgement.


To date, the impact of COVID-19 on HBL's borrowers has been more benign than was initially forecast, and the COVID Overlay has

not been utilised. However, the continued prevalence of COVID-19 and other countries (including the emergence of new

variants), together with vaccination rates and border closures provides an ongoing risk of further economic disruption in New

Zealand. This may impact borrowers with the potential for further inflationary pressures, increased interest rates and

expected higher employment costs resulting from a restricted supply of labour.


With the uncertainties associated to the ongoing economic impacts of COVID-19, the COVID Overlay has been retained in full at

this stage.


The accounting judgement that is most impacted by the COVID Overlay is the ECL on finance receivables at amortised cost. The

Banking Group measures the allowance for ECL using an impairment model in compliance with NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.


P. 13

Performance


2 Segmental analysis


Segment information is presented in respect of the Banking Group's operating segments which are those used for the Banking

Group's management and internal reporting structure.


Operating segments


The Banking Group operates within New Zealand and comprises the following main operating segments:


Motor Motor vehicle finance.


Reverse mortgages Reverse mortgage lending in New Zealand.


Personal Lending Transactional, home loans and personal loans to individuals.


Business Term debt, plant and equipment finance, commercial mortgage lending and working capital solutions for

small-to-medium sized businesses.


Rural Specialist financial services to the farming sector primarily offering livestock finance, rural mortgage

lending, seasonal and working capital financing, as well as leasing solutions to farmers.


Certain operating expenses, such as premises, IT and support centre costs are not allocated to operating segments and are

included in Other. Liabilities are managed centrally and therefore are not allocated across the operating segments.


The Banking Group's operating segments are different from the industry categories detailed in Note 13 - Credit risk exposure. The

operating segments are primarily categorised by sales channel, whereas Note 13 - Credit risk exposure categorises exposures

based on credit risk concentrations.

(a) Transactions with key management personnel


Key management personnel (KMP), are those who, directly or indirectly, have authority and responsibility for planning, directing

and controlling the activities of HGH and HBL. This includes all executive staff, Directors and their close family members.


KMP receive personal banking and financial investment services from the Bank in the ordinary course of business. The terms and

11 Fair value


(a) Financial instruments measured at fair value


The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial asset and liability measured

at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated statement of financial position.


The Banking Group has an established framework in performing valuations required for financial reporting purposes including

Level 3 fair values. The Banking Group regularly reviews and calibrates significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments

in accordance with market participants’ views. If external valuation specialists are engaged to measure fair values, the Banking

Group assesses the evidence obtained from these specialists to support the conclusion of these valuations. All significant

valuations are reported to the Banking Group's Board Audit and Risk Committee for approval prior to its adoption in the financial

statements.


Investments


Investments in public sector securities and corporate bonds are stated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI),

with the fair value being based on quoted market prices (Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy) or modelled using observable

market inputs (Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy).


Investments valued under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued either based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes for

similar instruments, or discounted cash flows analysis.


Investments in equity securities are classified as fair value through profit or loss unless an irrevocable election is made by the

Banking Group to measure at FVOCI. Investment in listed securities traded in liquid, active markets where prices are readily

observable are measured under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy with no modelling or assumptions used in the valuation.

Investments in unlisted equity securities are measured under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy with the fair value being based on

unobservable inputs using market accepted valuation techniques. Where appropriate, the Banking Group may apply adjustments

to the above mentioned techniques to determine fair value of an equity security to reflect the underlying characteristics. These

adjustments are reflective of market participant considerations in valuing the said security.


Finance receivables - reverse mortgages


Reverse mortgage loans are classified at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). On initial recognition the Banking Group

considers the transaction price to represent the fair value of the loan.


For subsequent measurement the Banking Group has considered if the fair value can be determined by reference to a relevant

active market or observable inputs, but has concluded relevant support is not currently available. In the absence of such market

evidence the Banking Group has used valuation techniques (income approach) including actuarial assessments to consider the fair

value.


When the Banking Group enters into a reverse mortgage loan the Banking Group has set expectations regarding the loan’s current

and future risk profile and expectation of performance. This expectation references a wide range of assumptions including:


• Mortality and potential move into care;

• Voluntary exits;

• House price changes;

• No negative equity guarantee; and

• Interest rate margin.


P. 26

11 Fair value (continued)


(a) Financial instruments measured at fair value (continued)


Finance receivables - reverse mortgages (continued)


At balance date the Banking Group does not consider any of the above expectations to have moved outside of the original

expectation range. Therefore, the Banking Group has continued to estimate the fair value of the portfolio at transaction price.

There has been no fair value movement recognised in profit or loss during the period. Fair value is not highly sensitive to the

above assumptions due to the nature of reverse mortgage loans. In particular, given conservative origination loan-to-value ratio

criteria, a material deterioration in house prices combined with a material increase in interest rates over a sustained period of

time would likely need to occur before any potential impact to fair value. While noting the significant uncertainty around future

economic conditions, based on current judgment there is no evidence that COVID-19 has impacted or will have a long-term

adverse impact on market conditions, particularly regarding the key elements of house prices or interest rates, that would

materially influence the fair value of the reverse mortgage portfolio at balance date.


The Banking Group will continue to reassess the existence of a relevant active market and movements in expectations on an on-

going basis.


Derivative financial instruments


Interest rate and foreign currency related contracts are recognised in the financial statements at fair value. Fair values are

determined from observable market prices as at the reporting date, discounted cash flow models or option pricing models as

appropriate (Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy).


The following table analyses financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date by the level in the fair value

hierarchy into which each fair value measurement is categorised. The amounts are based on the values recognised in the

consolidated statement of financial position.

(e) Other assets under administration


Other assets under administration are any loans, not being individually impaired or 90 days or more past due, where the

customer is in any form of voluntary or involuntary administration, including receivership, liquidation, bankruptcy or statutory

management. As at 31 December 2021, the Banking Group had $1.0 million assets under administration (December 2020: $0.2

million, June 2021: $0.3 million).


15 Liquidity risk


Liquidity risk is the risk that the Banking Group is unable to meet its payment obligations as they fall due. The timing mismatch of

cash flows and the related liquidity risk in all banking operations is closely monitored by the Banking Group.


Measurement of liquidity risk is designed to ensure that the Banking Group has the ability to generate or obtain sufficient cash in

a timely manner and at a reasonable price to meet its financial commitments on a daily basis.


The Banking Group’s exposure to liquidity risk is governed by a policy approved by the Board and managed by the Asset and

Liability Committee (ALCO). This policy sets out the nature of the risk which may be taken and aggregate risk limits, and the ALCO

must observe. Within this, the objective of the ALCO is to derive the most appropriate strategy for the Banking Group in terms of

a mix of assets and liabilities given its expectations of future cash flows, liquidity constraints and capital adequacy. The ALCO

employs asset and liability cash flow modelling to determine appropriate liquidity and funding strategies.


Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) facilities


In March 2020, the Bank was onboarded by the RBNZ as an approved counterparty and executed a 2011 Global Master Repo

Agreement providing an additional source for intra-day liquidity for the Banking Group if required.


From 26 May 2020, the RBNZ made available a Term Lending Facility (TLF) to offer loans for a fixed term of three years at the

Official Cash Rate, with access to the funds linked to banks’ lending under the Business Finance Guarantee Scheme. On 25 May

2021, RBNZ announced to close TLF applications on 28 July 2021.


Additional stimulus provided through a Funding for Lending Programme also commenced in December 2020 designed to enable

banks to provide low-cost lending to the customer.


The Banking Group holds the following liquid assets and committed funding sources for the purpose of managing liquidity risk:

Contractual liquidity profile of financial liabilities


The following tables present the Banking Group's financial liabilities by relevant maturity groupings based upon contractual

maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the tables represent undiscounted future principal and interest cash flows. As a result,

the amounts in the tables below may differ to the amounts reported on the consolidated Statement of financial position.


The contractual cash flows presented below may differ significantly from actual cash flows. This occurs as a result of future

actions by the Banking Group and its counterparties, such as early repayments or refinancing of term loans and borrowings.

Deposits and other public borrowings include customer savings deposits and transactional accounts, which are at call. These

accounts provide a stable source of long term funding for the Banking Group.

17 Concentrations of funding


(a) Regulatory liquidity ratios


RBNZ requires banks to hold minimum amounts of liquid assets to help ensure that they are effectively managing their liquidity

risks. The mismatch ratio is a measure of a bank’s liquid assets, adjusted for contractual cash inflows and outflows during a 1-

month or 1-week period of stress. It is expressed as a ratio over the bank’s total funding. The Banking Group must maintain its 1-

month and 1-week mismatch ratios above zero on a daily basis. The below 1-month and 1-week mismatch ratios are averaged

over the quarter.


RBNZ requires banks to get a minimum amount of funding from stable sources called core funding. From 2 April 2020, the

minimum amount of core funding was lowered from 75% to 50% of a bank’s total loans. The Banking Group must maintain its

core funding ratio above the regulatory minimum on a daily basis. The below measure of the core funding ratio is averaged over

the quarter. The RBNZ intends to increase the minimum requirement back to 75% on 1 January 2022.

18 Structured entities


A structured entity is one which has been designed such that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who

controls the entity. Structured entities are created to accomplish a narrow and well-defined objective such as the securitisation or

holding of particular assets or the execution of a specific borrowing or lending transaction. Structured entities are consolidated

where the substance of the relationship is that the Banking Group controls the structured entity.


(a) Heartland Cash and Term PIE Fund (Heartland PIE Fund)


The Banking Group controls the operations of the Heartland PIE Fund which is a portfolio investment entity that invests in the

Banking Group's deposits. Investments of Heartland PIE Fund are represented as follows:

19 Capital adequacy


The capital adequacy tables set out on the following pages summarise the composition of regulatory capital and the capital

adequacy ratios for the Banking Group as at 31 December 2021.


Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP)

The Banking Group has an ICAAP which complies with the requirements set out in the "Guidelines on a Bank's Internal Capital

Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP)" Part D of the Banking Prudential Requirements (BPR) documents: BPR100 and is in

accordance with its Conditions of Registration.


The Board has overall responsibility for ensuring the Banking Group has adequate capital in relation to its risk profile and

establishes minimum internal capital levels and limits above the regulatory minimum. The Banking Group has established a

Capital Management Policy (CMP) to determine minimum capital levels for Tier 1 and Total capital under Basel III and in

accordance with its Conditions of Registration. The documented process ensures that the Banking Group has sufficient available

capital to meet minimum capital requirements, even in stressed events. It describes the risk profile of the Banking Group and the

risk appetite and tolerances under which it operates, and assesses the level of capital held against the material risks of the

Banking Group (both Pillar 1 and Pillar 2).


The ICAAP identifies the capital required to be held against other material risks, being strategic / business risk, reputational risk,

regulatory risk and additional credit risk.


Compliance with minimum capital levels is monitored by the ALCO and reported to the Board. The ICAAP and CMP is reviewed

annually by the Board.

The Banking Group’s aggregate market exposure is derived in accordance with BPR140. Peak end-of-day capital charge disclosure

is derived by taking the highest month end market exposure over the six months ended 31 December 2021. Interest rate risk,

foreign exchange risk and equity risk are calculated monthly using the month end position. While the Banking Group views this

methodology as being materially correct, it is currently investigating the impact a daily aggregate market risk exposure would

2014 (as amended) (the “Order”).

Based on our review of the consolidated interim

financial statements and supplementary information

of the Bank and the Banking Group on pages 5 to

51, nothing has come to our attention that causes

us to believe that:

i. the consolidated interim financial

statements do not present fairly in all

material respects the Banking Group’s

financial position as at 31 December 2021

and its financial performance and cash

flows for the 6 month period ended on

that date;

ii. the consolidated interim financial

statements (excluding the supplementary

information disclosed in accordance with

Schedules 5,7, 9, 13, 16 and 18 of the

Order), have not been prepared, in all

material respects, in accordance with NZ

IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“NZ

IAS 34”);

iii. the supplementary information, does not

fairly state, in all material respects, the

matters to which it relates in accordance

with Schedules 5, 7, 9, 13, 16 and 18 of

the Order; and

iv. the supplementary information relating to

capital adequacy and regulatory liquidity

requirements, has not been, in all material

respects, disclosed in accordance with

Schedule 9 of the Order.

Basis for conclusion

A review of the consolidated 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 Heartland Bank Limited, 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 the Banking Group in relation to financial statement audits,

regulatory assurance services, agreed upon procedure engagements and supervisor reporting. Subject to certain

restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the Banking Group on normal terms within

the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the Banking Group. These matters have not impaired

our independence as reviewer of the Banking Group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the

Banking Group.

Use of this Independent Review Report

This report is made solely to the shareholder as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might

state to the shareholder 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 shareholder as a body for our review work, this report, or any of the opinions we have

formed.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the interim company and group

financial statements

The Directors, on behalf of the Banking Group, are responsible for:

— the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated half year disclosure statement in accordance with

NZ IAS 34 and Schedules 3, 5, 7 ,13 ,16 and 18 of the Order;

— the preparation and fair representation of the supplementary information in regards to capital adequacy and

regulatory liquidity requirements in accordance with the Registered Banks conditions of registration, Capital

Adequacy Framework (Standardised Approach) and Schedule 9 of the Order;

— implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a consolidated 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 interim company and

group financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated 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 our attention that causes us to believe that:

— the consolidated interim financial statements do not present fairly in all material respects the Banking

Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 and its financial performance and cash flows for the 6

month period ended on that date;

— the consolidated interim financial statements do not, in all material respects, comply with NZ IAS 34;

— the supplementary information, does not fairly state, in all material respects, the matters to which it relates

in accordance with Schedules 5, 7, 9, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order; and








— the supplementary information relating to capital adequacy and regulatory liquidity requirements, has not

been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Registered Banks conditions of registrations,

Capital Adequacy Framework (Standardised Approach) and 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 these interim company and group financial statements.
