Heartland announces half year NPAT of $47.5 million

NZX/ASX release
22 February 2022
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

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.

•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.

(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

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.

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.

14 Asset quality (continued)
(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
have for future reporting periods.

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.
