Overview
Suncorp Bank’s home lending portfolio grew $1.6 billion or 2.8% (11.2% annualised) through the
September quarter. The continued growth was driven by an uptick in applications and an improved
conversion rate, supported by strong service levels, including consistently low turnaround times and
continual improvements in customer and broker experiences. The Bank remains focused on balancing
growth and margins while optimising risk-adjusted returns. The Bank maintains a high-quality and
conservatively positioned home lending portfolio, weighted towards owner occupiers, on principal and
interest repayment terms and loans with a loan-to-valuation ratio (LVR) below 80%.
Business lending contracted $69 million or 0.5% (2.1% annualised). The agribusiness portfolio contracted
$76 million in line with seasonal trends, and due to heightened external refinances. The small and medium
enterprise (SME) portfolio contracted $28 million, reflecting elevated repayment levels which exceeded
new business volumes. This was partly offset by growth in the commercial real estate portfolio of $35
million, predominantly driven by growth in property finance.
The Bank grew household deposits across all portfolios, including retail transaction deposits (15.8%
annualised), retail term deposits (15.6% annualised) and retail savings account balances (12.9%
annualised). Competition remained strong as customers continued to shift toward higher interest products,
albeit at a slower rate compared to pcp. The Bank continues to prioritise portfolio margin in favour of
market share growth and the portfolio is strategically managed within funding requirements.
The total provision for impairment increased by $13 million to $227 million, reflecting an increase to the
collective provision of $15 million, a $1 million recovery in the specific provision, and continued low levels
of write offs.
Gross impaired assets decreased $10 million to $63 million, with decreases across all lending portfolios.
Total 90+ days past due loans increased $4 million to $527 million or 74 basis points of GLA, down 1 basis
point of GLA from the previous quarter.
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) was maintained at an elevated level above the target operating range,
averaging 145% over the quarter, 10% below the June quarterly average, reflecting the decrease in excess
liquidity following the successful acquisition of Suncorp Bank by ANZ. The Net Stable Funding Ratio
(NSFR) ended the period at 124%, demonstrating the continued strength of the Bank’s funding and liquidity
position. The Bank’s capital levels remain sound, with a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 10.01% (Jun 2024:
10.33%), within the target operating range of 10.00% to 10.50%.

Table 4: Credit Risk
Table 4A: Credit risk by gross credit exposure
Notes:
(1)
Gross credit exposures and Average gross credit exposures reflect on balance sheet exposures and credit equivalent amounts for off balance sheet
exposures.
(2)
Receivables due from other Banks include collateral deposits provided to derivative counterparties.
(3)
Off-balance sheet exposures represent the credit equivalent amount in accordance with APS 112 Capital Adequacy: Standardised Approach to Credit
Risk.
(4)
Total credit risk excludes cash at bank and other money market placements.
(5)
Securitisation exposures for September 2024 include $2,922 million in Loans and advances, $29 million in Investment Securities, $28 million in
Derivatives and $335 million in Off-balance sheet exposures. The securitisation exposures for Loans and advances qualify for regulatory capital relief
under APS 120 Securitisation and therefore do not contribute to the Bank’s total gross credit risk. The remaining securitisation exposures carry credit
risk commensurate with their respective asset classes in accordance with APS 120 Securitisation.
(6)
Includes commercial property and land acquisition, development, and construction exposures.

Overview
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) promotes shorter-term resilience by requiring ADIs to maintain
sufficient qualifying High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) to meet expected net cash outflows (NCO) under
an APRA prescribed 30 calendar day stress scenario. Suncorp Bank manages its LCR on a daily basis and
maintains a buffer over the regulatory minimum of 100%.
Liquidity and Funding Risk Management Framework
The Suncorp Bank (Norfina Limited) Board is responsible for the sound and prudent management of
liquidity risk across the Bank, with authority delegated to the Suncorp Bank Board Risk Committee.
Executive management of liquidity and funding risk is overseen through the Suncorp Bank Asset and
Liability Committee (SBALCO) which reviews risk measures and limits, endorses and monitors funding and
liquidity strategies and ensures stress tests, the Contingency Funding Plan and holdings of high-quality
liquid assets are effective and appropriate. Operational management of liquidity risk is delegated to a
centralised function in the Bank Treasury division.
Liquidity and Funding Management
The quantum of liquid assets held considers the amount needed to meet prudential and internal
requirements (including a variety of internal stress scenarios as part of the risk management framework)
and suitable buffers as appropriate.
Liquid assets included in the LCR consist of HQLA (such as cash, Australian Semi-Government and
Commonwealth Government securities).
Other contractual funding obligations and other net inflows represent gross flows not included elsewhere in
the LCR. Over time, key balances in these categories can be material to the Bank’s net cash outflow.
During the quarter, the material balances of net other cashflows were due to forecast loan disbursements,
regulatory liquidity held against the NCD portfolio as well as settlement periods for liquid assets and
funding transactions (such as the $1.4bn Senior Unsecured transaction).
Contingency Funding Plan
Suncorp Bank maintains a Contingency Funding Plan (CFP) which outlines funding and management
strategies to address liquidity shortfalls under stressed conditions. The CFP establishes clear lines of
responsibility and provides a comprehensive list of liquidity options to enable swift, decisive action to
support the mitigation of any potential liquidity risks.
Suncorp Bank also monitors several Early Warning Indicators that serve as metrics complementary to its
other liquidity risk limits, to identify the emergence of increased risk or vulnerabilities and support in the
decision-making around any activation of the CFP.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio
Suncorp Bank calculates its LCR position on a daily basis, ensuring a buffer is maintained over the
regulatory requirement of 100% and the Board’s risk appetite. The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) was
maintained at an elevated level above the target operating range ahead of completion of the sale to ANZ,
averaging 145% over the quarter. Excess liquidity levels normalised following the successful acquisition of
Suncorp Bank by ANZ, with the quarterly average 10% below the June quarterly average.
There was approximately $900m in domestic term maturities across the September quarter. These were
replaced by a $1.4bn Senior Unsecured transaction in late September with the issue of a 3 and 5-year
floating rate note. On average, unsecured debt exposure was lower through the quarter driven by a
reduction in US Commercial Paper in the LCR 30-day window. The Bank saw an increase in outflows
related to derivatives exposures towards the end of the quarter as a number of offshore maturities entered
the NCO.
No term maturities were present in the NCO window at quarter end, contributing to an LCR of 137% on
30th September 2024. During the quarter the lowest point of the LCR was 133% on 17th September with
liquidity being reduced prior to the pricing of the $1.4bn Senior Unsecured transaction.

Appendix 2 - Definitions
AASB 9 AASB 9 Financial Instruments was issued in December 2014. It addresses recognition and
measurement requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities, impairment requirements that
introduce a forward-looking expected credit loss impairment model, and general hedge accounting
requirements which more closely align with risk management activities undertaken when hedging
financial and non-
financial risks. This standard became mandatory for the annual reporting period from
1 July 2018.
Capital adequacy ratio Capital base divided by total assessed risk, as defined by APRA.
Collective provision A collective provision is established to determine expected credit losses (see also Expected Credit
Losses definition below) for loan exposures which are not specifically provisioned and can be in the
performing or non-performing portfolios. For business banking exposures, a ratings-based approach is
applied using estimates of probability of default and loss given default, at a customer level. For
portfolio managed exposures, the portfolios are split into pools with homogenous risk profiles and pool
estimates of probability of default and loss given default are used to calculate the collective provision.
Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Common Equity Tier 1 capital comprises accounting equity plus adjustments for intangible assets and
regulatory reserves.
Common Equity Tier 1 ratio Common Equity Tier 1 divided by total risk weighted assets, as defined by APRA.
Credit value adjustment (CVA) A capital charge that covers the risk of mark-to-market losses on the counterparty credit risk.
Eligible collective provisions Primarily represents the collective provision for impairment on loans and advances in Stage 1
(performing and/or newly originated assets). Provisions for loans and advances in Stage 1 are
established to provide for expected credit losses (ECL) for a period of 12 months. Forward-looking
provisions for future, presently unidentified losses are also included within the Eligible collective
provision balance.
Expected credit losses (ECL) Expected credit losses (ECL) are calculated as the probability of default (PD) x loss given default
(LGD) x exposure at default. The credit models are calibrated to reflect PD and LGD estimates based
on historical observed experience, as well as reflecting unbiased forward-looking views of
macroeconomic conditions, through macroeconomic variables that influence credit losses, for example
unemployment rates and changes in house prices.
Ineligible collective provisions Represents the collective provision for impairment on loans and advances in Stage 2 or Stage 3. Stage
2 assets include assets that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) since
origination (under-performing loans). Stage 3 assets within ineligible collective provisions include ‘past
due but not impaired’ and ‘impaired assets’ (non-performing loans, other than those for which a
specific provision is held under AASB 9). Collective provisions for loans and advances in Stage 2 and
Stage 3 are established to provide for ECL for the remaining term of the loans and advances (lifetime
ECL). Ineligible collective provision is considered as specific provision for regulatory purposes under
APS 220 Credit Risk Management.
Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) An APRA requirement to maintain a sufficient level of qualifying high-quality liquid assets to meet
liquidity needs under an APRA-defined significant stress event lasting for 30 calendar days. Absent of
a situation of financial stress, the LCR must not be less than 100%. The LCR is calculated as the ratio
of qualifying high-quality liquid assets relative to net cash outflows in a modelled APRA-defined 30-
day
stress scenario.
Loan-to-value ratio (LVR) Ratio of a loan to the value of the asset purchased.
Non-performing exposure An exposure that is in default. A default is considered to have occurred with regard to a particular
borrower when either, or both, of the events in sub-paragraphs (i) or (ii) have taken place: (i) the ADI
considers that the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the ADI in full, without recourse by
the ADI to actions such as realising available security;
(ii) the borrower is 90 days or more past-due on a credit obligation to the ADI or, in the case of
subsidiaries in jurisdictions where a different number of days past-due is set for exposures to
individuals (i.e. natural persons) or public sector entities by the national regulator, the borrower is past-
due by the number of days (or more) specified by that national regulator.
Past due loans An exposure for which any amount due under a contract (interest, principal, fee or other amount) has
not been paid in full at the date when it was due. An exposure is considered past-due from the first day
of missed payment.
Risk weighted assets Total of the carrying value of each asset class multiplied by their assigned risk weighting, as defined by
APRA.
Specific provision
A specific provision for impairment is recognised where there is objective evidence of impairment and
full recovery of principal and interest is considered doubtful. The present value of the expected future
cash flows is compared to the carrying amount of the loan to determine the specific provision required.
Total assessed risk Credit risk-weighted assets, off-balance sheet positions, market risk capital charge and operational risk
charge, as defined by APRA.
