Our operating environment

A range of influences

characterise the

current operating

environment.

Economies have coped relatively

well with the sharp increases in

interest rates over 2022 and 2023.

Economic activity has slowed, but

recessions have been rare and

shallow. Unemployment in Australia

and New Zealand has only modestly

increased.

The cumulative impact of rising prices and

higher interest rates is sustaining cost of

living pressures for consumers, but

household balance sheets, in aggregate,

are sturdy. Investment plans are generally

robust, but resource availability is a

challenge, not least because of similar

wants across economies. Industrial policy

has become more common, including in

Australia, and is likely to reshape the

structure of economic activity over time

as governments address perceived

supply chain vulnerabilities and prioritise

domestic resilience.

China’s economy is operating on a

different cycle. Growth has moderated

as the economy adjusts to an ageing

demographic and the demand mix

changes. Trade is still growing despite

geopolitical complexities. High commodity

prices are sustaining exports from

Australia and New Zealand. Asian exports

have had a particularly strong year, backed

by renewed strength in technology trade.

The climate transition remains a subtext

to many of these developments. Resource

access challenges feature here as well,

as many economies strive to invest in

renewable energy, building retrofits and

more climate-friendly transport.

2Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report

z
Economic outlook

Growth has slowed, but many central

banks have begun to reduce interest rates.

Inflation has proven to be slightly stickier

in Australia than elsewhere. Australia,

therefore, is likely to follow with a modest

easing cycle of its own, but not until 2025.

Easing cycles are likely to only partially

reverse the sharp interest rate rises of

recent years.

Private sector balance sheets, in general,

are in solid shape, suggesting lower

interest rates are likely to generate

economic traction without needing to be

too vigorous. The supply side of many

economies remains challenged by

influences including ageing workforces,

housing constraints, and the influence of

geopolitics and industry policy on supply

chains. This is also encouraging more

sustained government spending than has

been the case in previous cycles.

Policy in China has been gradually

responding to reduce the risks of a

sharper slowdown. Excessively low

inflation has been the primary

macroeconomic challenge. Further

easing is likely as China adjusts to softer

structural drivers of demand. An ageing

demographic suggests a shift in the mix

of activity over time, including in the

commodity sector. These shifts are likely

to have some permanence.

enhanced delivery capabilities,

Through our purpose we have elevated three areas facing significant

societal challenges aligned with our strategy and our reach, which

include commitments to:

Improving the financial wellbeing of our people, customers and

communities by helping them make the most of their money

throughout their lives;

environmental sustainability; and

for all Australians and New Zealanders.

Risk management
Constant changes and

uncertainties in the

macroeconomic environment,

climate change and evolving

geopolitical tensions continue to

pose challenges to our operating

conditions. We understand that our

customers are similarly affected by

these as well as additional

challenges such as experiencing

increasing fraud

and scams activities. We

continue to strengthen our risk

management framework and

practices to meet such challenges.

External environment

The Group’s financial performance is

closely linked to the political, economic

and financial conditions in the countries

and regions in which ANZ, its customers

and its counterparties carry on business.

The current external environment is

shaped by significant global events

particularly geopolitical conditions and

climate change that impact economic

stability, regulatory environments and

financial markets.



G

eopolitical risk: Elections, conflicts,

and increasing US – China competition

have dominated the geopolitical

environment this year. Conflict in the

Middle East and Europe continue to

impact regional security and supply

chains and have increased market

volatility. Meanwhile, economic security

policymaking has accelerated as large

economies vie for influence, resources,

and industrial expansion. These

dynamics are reshaping trade and

investment flows, yet the swift

adaptation of these flows underscores

the resilience of the international

system. ANZ established a Geopolitical

Risk function in 2021, which provides

quarterly updates to key risk

committees, works with country teams

to monitor and manage regional risks,

and this year expanded to provide more

analysis and advice to management on

fast-moving developments.



C

limate risk: In November 2023, the

Board Risk Committee approved climate

risk as a material risk within ANZ’s risk

management framework. Climate risk is

also considered to be a driver of other

risks within our risk management

framework. Work is progressing to

integrate and embed climate risk into

the Group’s risk management

framework through existing policies,

processes and governance frameworks.

It is anticipated that this will be a

multi-year journey, recognising the

complexities and challenges that arise

from an evolving regulatory landscape,

limitations on the availability of and

access to reliable and consistent data,

and the need to uplift systems, tools,

and capability across the Group. For

details on our approach to managing

climate risk and actions we are taking

echnology Disruption and Change:

ANZ serves a diverse customer base,

including retail, small business,

corporates, multinational institutions,

and other financial institutions. We tailor

our digital channels and products to

meet their varying needs. Our payments

services process payments in

29 markets and annually we serve more

than 10 million customers, facilitating

over seven billion payments and capital

flows. The pace of change continues

to accelerate driven by the dynamic

regulatory landscape, increased

technology disruption from both

traditional and non-traditional

competitors and industry-driven

changes (such as decommission in

legacy clearing streams (BECS &

Cheques); Confirmation of Payee, faster

payment adoption through Asia–Pacific,

ISO20022). This level of change and

disruption necessitates ongoing

vigilance regarding our enhanced

operational resilience, innovation and

compliance capabilities. We are

continually adapting our processes and

systems to meet these evolving

requirements, ensuring that we remain

agile and responsive to the evolving

regulatory, competitive, customer and

technological demands.

14Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report

In addition, economic instability including
elevated interest rates, inflationary

pressures and higher cost of living

continue to increase financial stress for

some customers. While households and

businesses have been largely resilient to

date, the Board and management

continually monitor these developing

conditions to set appropriate risk criteria

for a range of potential scenarios. We will

continue to carefully manage our capital

and risk appetite settings so we can

continue to support our customers.

Suncorp Bank integration

On 1st August 2024, we welcomed

~3000 Suncorp Bank employees and 1.2

million customers into the ANZ Group. We

believe this acquisition will bring significant

public benefits and create a stronger,

more competitive bank that will better

serve our customers. Suncorp Bank has

a comprehensive risk management

framework and policies that operate

effectively. Through the establishment of

the Suncorp Bank Board, and in line with

commitments made, Suncorp Bank has its

own dedicated Management and Board

Risk Committees. Work is in progress to

ensure a smooth transition of risk

management frameworks and policies,

and effective integration into the ANZ risk

management operating model.

Non-financial risk

During the year APRA required ANZ to

hold an additional operational risk capital

overlay of $250 million (total $750 million)

from 30th September 2024. This increase

was a result of APRA viewing ANZ as

having made insufficient progress in

addressing weaknesses in non-financial

risk management. These concerns were

heightened following a number of recent

issues relating to our Markets business.

While there has been a lot of work already

completed in uplifting our approach to

non-financial risk management, there is

still more to do, and ANZ remains

committed to getting that work done as

soon as possible. This includes the

adoption of a consistent, simplified,

bank-wide methodology and framework,

from a technology, reporting, and culture

perspective.

Financial crime

We maintain a financial crime risk

management program that anticipates

and navigates criminal threats. The

Financial Crime portfolio continues to be

responsible for ensuring that ANZ meets

its regulatory obligations through its

Anti-Fraud Policy, Anti-Money Laundering/

Counter Terrorism Finance and Sanction

Programs for delivering detection,

investigative and intelligence capability

focused on identifying, mitigating, and

managing financial crime risk to help

protect the community. We also maintain

our partnership with the Australian

Transaction Report and Analysis Centre

(AUSTRAC)-led Fintel Alliance to increase

the resilience of the financial sector to

prevent exploitation by criminals, and

support investigations into serious crime

and national security.

Scams

ANZ continues to invest significantly as

part of its fight to help protect customers

and the community from scams and other

financial crimes. In 2024, ANZ has

prevented more than $140 million of

customer funds going to cybercriminals

and total ANZ customer scam losses

decreased compared to the previous year.

This is partly due to increased friction we

have put in place to slow down the

payment process for high-risk payments.

We also rely on our enhanced Falcon

technology to detect more suspicious

transactions.

Our latest measures for ANZ Classic

customers include the introduction of a

dedicated team of specialists who handle

calls about fraud and scams, a new Scam

Scoring model that uses AI to boost our

scam detection, and a Mule Detection

model to detect mule accounts and restrict

the movement of scam proceeds. We also

increased personalised warning messages

on Internet Banking when a transaction or

activity is considered high risk. For ANZ Plus

customers, we introduced a suite of scam

safe features including screen share

protection from scammers, location-based

security, risky-app detection, crypto limits

and active call status to detect coaching

from scammers.

We delivered various education initiatives

to improve scam confidence and service

capability for our bankers and customers.

This included for example, new and

enhanced content on ANZ’s security hub

on anz.com, messages and alerts in ANZ’s

digital channels, and the creation of new

mandated security content for frontline

employees to support customer

engagement on security.

We also added a new scams education

module to ANZ’s flagship financial

education program, MoneyMinded, which

equips community professionals with

resources to support their clients identify

and protect themselves from scams.

Emerging risks

ANZ manages and monitors risks in

accordance with our Risk Management

Framework (RMF). In addition to our material

risks – see below – two emerging risks that

we are paying particular attention to are:

Nature: We consider that our most material

nature risks can arise from lending to

customers that have material impacts and/

or dependencies on nature. These risks

can also arise from legal and regulatory

changes, which may impact ANZ directly or

indirectly through our customers. Failure to

manage these risks may lead to financial

and non-financial risks to ANZ.

We acknowledge the need to protect and

restore nature and mitigate biodiversity loss

including as a result of species extinction or

decline, ecosystem degradation and nature

loss. We are seeking to understand the

impacts and dependencies nature can

have on our customers, including how

customers are managing and mitigating

material risks and impacts.

For details on our approach to managing

nature risk refer to our 2024 Climate–

related Financial Disclosures available at

anz.com/annualreport. Our Climate

Change Commitment is available at

anz.com/esgreport.

Artificial Intelligence (AI): At ANZ, we

recognise the opportunity of using AI to

help shape a better world where

communities thrive. AI has the potential to

drive significant innovation and efficiency

in our operations, leading to enhanced

customer experiences and business

growth. With this opportunity comes the

need to act responsibly to mitigate the

potential risks associated with use of AI.

ANZ is adapting our governance and risk

management frameworks to ensure that

AI is adopted safely, in pace with evolving

regulatory standards and the expectations

of our customers.

Risk culture
Risk culture is an important component

of our organisational culture and

underpins the shared values, behaviours

and practices that influence how risk is

considered in decision making.

ANZ remains committed to strengthening

risk culture, supporting the Group to

meet the evolving expectations of our

customers, the community and

regulators. Having achieved the target

state in 2023, the enterprise’s risk culture

has not met expectations of continuous

improvement in 2024. Notwithstanding

the strength in managing the Group’s

financial risks across credit, market,

capital, and liquidity, regulatory concerns

around our Markets business and

non-financial risk management are

earnestly under review, ensuring learnings

are captured to support improvement of

risk management behaviours and

practices where appropriate.

Risk culture is actively monitored

and driven across the Group through

completion of risk culture plans,

enterprise-wide awareness activities and

the continued focus on delivery of the

Group wide non-financial risk framework.

Risk culture is embedded in annual

performance and remuneration, and

recognition programs such as Risk

Role Models (see section 6 of the

Remuneration Report).

Our Risk Management

Framework (RMF)

The Board is ultimately responsible for

establishing and overseeing the ANZ

Group’s RMF which is supported by the

Group’s underlying systems, structures,

policies, procedures, processes and

people. The Board has delegated authority

to the Board Risk Committee (BRC) to

develop and monitor compliance with

the Group’s risk management policies.

The Committee reports regularly to the

Board on its activities. The key pillars of

our Group RMF include:



T

he Risk Management Strategy (RMS)

which is a critical element of the Group’s

RMF. The RMS includes: how the risk

function is structured to support the

Group’s purpose and strategy, and the

execution of the Group Chief Risk

Officer’s prescribed responsibilities as

an Accountable Person under the

Financial Accountability Regime; the

values, attitudes and behaviours that

support risk decision-making in

delivering on strategic priorities and a

Board approved target risk culture; a

description of each material risk; and an

overview of how the RMS addresses

each material risk, with reference to the

relevant policies, standards and

procedures. It also includes information

on how the Group identifies, measures,

evaluates, monitors, reports and

controls or mitigates the material risks

and the oversight mechanism and/or

committees in place.



T

he Risk Appetite Statement (RAS),

conveys, for each material risk, the

maximum level of risk the Group is

willing to accept in pursuing its strategic

objectives and its operating plans

considering its shareholders’,

depositors’ and customers’ interests.


Risk Principles support the RMF and

outline the behaviours and practices

that are expected to be applied to

guide risk management and help to

instil an appropriate risk culture across

the Group.

The Group operates under the Three

Lines-of-Defence Model. Each line of

defence has clearly defined roles,

responsibilities and escalation paths to

support effective risk management at

ANZ. The three lines of defence model

embeds a culture where risk is

everyone’s responsibility.

The business and enablement functions

form the first lines-of-defence and are

responsible for the implementation and

ongoing maintenance of the RMF

including day-to-day ownership of

risks and controls.

The Risk function forms the second line

of defence, providing independent

oversight of the Group’s risk profile and

RMF, including effective challenge to

activities and decisions that materially

affect the Group’s risk profile and working

with the first line, in developing and

maintaining the RMF.

Internal Audit is the third line of defence,

providing independent evaluation

and objective assurance on the

appropriateness, effectiveness and

adequacy of the Group’s RMF.

The governance and oversight of risk

management, while embedded in

day-to-day activities, is also the focus of

committees and regular forums across

the bank (see diagram next page). The

committees and forums discuss and

monitor known and emerging risks, review

management plans and monitor progress

to address known issues.

The material risks facing the Group per the Group’s RMS, and how these risks are managed, are summarised below.
Risk typeDescriptionManaging the risk

Capital

Adequacy

Risk

The risk of loss arising from the Group failing

to maintain the level of capital required by

prudential regulators and other key stakeholders

(shareholders, debt investors, depositors, rating

agencies, etc.) to support the Group’s

consolidated operations and risk appetite.

We pursue an active approach to Capital

Management, which is designed to protect the

interests of depositors, creditors and shareholders

through ongoing review, and Board approval, of

the level and composition of our capital base

against key policy objectives.

Credit Risk

The risk of financial loss resulting from:


A c

ounterparty failing to fulfil its obligations; or


A decrease in credit quality of a counterparty

resulting in a loss.

Our Credit Risk framework is top down, being

defined by credit principles, policies and

requirements. Credit policies, requirements and

procedures cover all aspects of the credit life

cycle from initial approval and risk grading,

through to ongoing management and problem

debt management.

Liquidity and

Funding Risk

The risk that the Group is unable to meet its

payment obligations as they fall due, including:

• Repaying depositors or maturing wholesale

debt; or

• The Group having insufficient capacity to

fund increases in assets.

The Group recognises the inherent liquidity

and funding risk in the balance sheet and has

established a set of key principles, to mitigate

and control liquidity and funding risk.

Our framework is top down, being defined by

liquidity principles and policies. A liquidity limit

framework is in place with liquidity limits set based

on a liquidity stress testing framework.

Market Risk

The risk stems from our trading and balance

sheet activities and is the risk to the Group’s

earnings arising from:



C

hanges in interest rates, foreign exchange

rates, credit spreads, volatility, correlations; or


F

luctuations in bond, commodity or equity

prices.

We have a detailed market risk management and

control framework which includes incorporating an

independent risk measurement approach to

quantify the magnitude of market risk within the

trading and balance sheet portfolios. This

approach identifies the range of possible

outcomes, that can be expected over a given

period of time, and establishes the likelihood of

those outcomes and allocates an appropriate

amount of capital to support these activities.

Strategic Risk

Strategic Risk is defined as the risk that

internal or external factors prevent the Group

from achieving the key strategic goals that are

core to its operations through introduced risk

due to strategy changes, failure to execute the

strategy effectively, or a failure to adapt the

strategy in response to changing

environments and requirements.

Strategic risk may arise from factors such as

changes in the environmental context, failure

to meet strategic targets, and the introduction

of new or heightened risks resulting from

strategic adjustments.

Strategic risks are discussed and managed by the

Executive Committee (ExCo) through the Group

strategic planning process. Additionally, we

monitor delivery risk associated with High Impact

change initiatives and undertake risk assessments

prior to execution of our strategic changes.

Material risks

18Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report

Risk typeDescriptionManaging the risk
Climate Risk

Climate risk includes:


P

hysical risk – arising from both longer-term

changes in climate (chronic risk) as well as

changes to the frequency and magnitude

of extreme weather events (acute risk).

Examples of chronic physical risk drivers

include rising sea levels, rising average

temperatures and ocean acidification.

Examples of acute physical risk drivers

include heatwaves, floods, bushfires

and cyclones;


Transition risk – arising from the transition to

a lower emission economy, including changes

in domestic and international policy and

regulatory settings, technological innovation,

social adaptation and market changes; or



L

iability risk – in the form of potential litigation

or regulatory action that may arise as a

consequence of a failure to adequately

consider or respond to the impacts of climate

change (including physical and transition

risks). This includes for example, the risk of

greenwashing, which may arise where an

entity is alleged to have misrepresented its

climate-related risks, business credentials

or strategies.

Following the elevation of climate risk to a material

risk in November 2023, work is progressing to

integrate and embed climate risk into the Group’s

risk management framework through existing

policies, processes and governance frameworks.

While climate risk can be a driver of credit risk

through lending to our customers, it may also

result in other financial risks, e.g. market risk

Climate risks can also be a driver of non-financial

risks including conduct risk, regulatory risk and

operational resilience risk.

Climate-related financial and non-financial risks

are managed through the risk management

strategies associated with these risks.

In 2024, we identified insurability risk as an

emerging risk to the Group and are seeking to

further understand the potential risks and impacts

to our customers.

Non-Financial

Risk

Non-Financial Risk (NFR) is the risk of loss and/

or non-compliance (including failure to act in

accordance with laws, regulations, industry

standards and codes, and internal policies)

resulting from inadequate or failed internal

processes, people, system and/or data, or

from external events. The Group manages NFR

in accordance with the industry-wide

Operational Risk Exchange (ORX) taxonomy,

of 16 ‘Risk Themes’, noting some of these

present a higher inherent risk to the Group

such as Conduct, Data, Financial Crime,

Information Security (including Cyber),

Regulatory and Technology.

The Group’s strategy for evolving NFR

management provides a planned and proactive

approach to improving the Group’s NFR

management. The NFR strategy is being

operationalised through the NFR Framework,

which has been designed to enable the Group to

holistically, consistently and effectively identify,

assess, remediate, monitor and report on NFR.

Group faces, refer to Principal Risks and Uncertainties section contained within the

Statutory profit attributable to shareholders of the Company for the year decreased $578 million on the prior year to $6,595 million.

The Group uses cash profit, a non-IFRS measure, to assess the performance of its business activities. It is an industry-wide measure which

enables comparison with our peer group. We calculate cash profit by adjusting statutory profit for non-core items. In general, it represents the

financial performance of our core business activities. We use cash profit internally to set targets and incentivise our Senior Executives and leaders

through our remuneration plans. Refer to page 21 for adjustments between statutory and cash profit. The adjustments made in arriving at cash

profit are included in statutory profit which is subject to audit within the context of the external auditor’s audit of the 2024 Financial Report. Cash

profit is not subject to audit by the external auditor. Our external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that adjustments between statutory

and cash profit have been determined on a consistent basis across each of the periods presented.

Suncorp Bank acquisition

On 31 July 2024, the Group acquired 100% of the shares in SBGH Limited, the immediate holding company of Suncorp Bank. Suncorp Bank

provides banking and related services to retail, commercial, small and medium enterprises and agribusiness customers in Australia.The transaction

was undertaken to accelerate the growth of the Group’s retail and commercial businesses while also improving the geographic balance of its

business in Australia. The 2024 reported results include 2 months results for Suncorp Bank from the date of acquisition, presented as Suncorp

Bank division.

The Group is currently completing the purchase price allocation exercise to identify, measure and recognise the acquired tangible and intangible

assets and assumed liabilities at their acquisition date fair values. As at 30 September 2024, all values have been recognised on a provisional

basis pending completion of this exercise. The provisional goodwill balance of $1,402 million will be remeasured to take into account any

adjustments from this exercise.

For further information on the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, refer to Note 34 Suncorp Bank acquisition in the Financial Report.

Suncorp Bank acquisition related adjustments

Suncorp Bank’s divisional results for 2024 includes the following acquisition related adjustments recognised by the Group post transaction

completion, with an after tax charge of $196 million:

 Collectively assessed credit impairment charge of $244 million ($171 million after tax) for Suncorp Bank’s performing loans and advances. In

accordance with Australian Accounting Standards requirements, the Group consolidated Suncorp Bank’s loans and advances on 31 July 2024,

however the Group was not permitted to recognise an allowance for ECL on the performing loans and advances, leading to a proportional

reduction in acquisition-related goodwill that would otherwise have been recognised. Subsequently, the Group was required to recognise a

collectively assessed allowance for ECL estimated using the Group’s ECL methodologies, with a corresponding charge recognised in the

Group’s Income Statement.

 Accelerated software amortisation expense of $36 million ($25 million after tax) on alignment to the Group’s software capitalisation policy.

Group performance

Key measures of our financial performance are set out below.


Adjustments between statutory profit and cash profit ($m)


Adjustments between continuing operations statutory profit and cash profit are summarised below:


Adjustment Comment for the adjustment

Economic hedges

2024: $264 million loss

2023: $217 million loss


Revenue and expense

hedges


2024: $74 million gain

2023: $90 million loss


The Group enters into economic hedges to manage its interest rate and foreign exchange risk which, in accordance

with accounting standards, result in fair value gains and losses being recognised within the Income Statement. We

remove the fair value adjustments from cash profit since the profit or loss resulting from the hedge transactions will

reverse over time to match with the profit or loss from the economically hedged item as part of cash profit. This

includes gains and losses arising from derivatives not designated in accounting hedge relationships but which are

considered to be economic hedges, including hedges of foreign currency debt issuances and foreign exchange

denominated revenue and expense streams, primarily NZD and USD (and USD correlated), as well as ineffectiveness

from designated accounting hedges.

In the 2024 financial year, losses on economic hedges relate to funding-related swaps, principally from narrowing

USD/EUR currency basis spreads and the weakening of the USD against the AUD. Further losses were driven by the

impact of falling AUD and NZD yield curves on net pay fixed economic hedge positions.

The gain on revenue and expense hedges was mainly due to the appreciation of AUD against the USD and NZD.

Adjustments between statutory profit and cash profit ($m)


Adjustments between continuing operations statutory profit and cash profit are summarised below:


Adjustment Comment for the adjustment

Economic hedges

2024: $264 million loss

2023: $217 million loss


Revenue and expense

hedges


2024: $74 million gain

2023: $90 million loss


The Group enters into economic hedges to manage its interest rate and foreign exchange risk which, in accordance

with accounting standards, result in fair value gains and losses being recognised within the Income Statement. We

remove the fair value adjustments from cash profit since the profit or loss resulting from the hedge transactions will

reverse over time to match with the profit or loss from the economically hedged item as part of cash profit. This

includes gains and losses arising from derivatives not designated in accounting hedge relationships but which are

considered to be economic hedges, including hedges of foreign currency debt issuances and foreign exchange

denominated revenue and expense streams, primarily NZD and USD (and USD correlated), as well as ineffectiveness

from designated accounting hedges.

In the 2024 financial year, losses on economic hedges relate to funding-related swaps, principally from narrowing

USD/EUR currency basis spreads and the weakening of the USD against the AUD. Further losses were driven by the

impact of falling AUD and NZD yield curves on net pay fixed economic hedge positions.

The gain on revenue and expense hedges was mainly due to the appreciation of AUD against the USD and NZD.

Cash profit attributable to shareholders of the Company 6,785 7,480 -9%

Cash profit attributable to shareholders of the Company decreased $695 million (9%) compared with the 2023 financial year.

Net interest income decreased $531 million (3%) driven by a 13 bps decrease in net interest margin, partially offset by a $48.8 billion (5%)

increase in average interest earning assets. The decrease of 13 bps was driven by home loan pricing competition, markets activities impacted by

higher funding costs, primarily on commodity assets, where the related revenues are recognised as other operating income, and higher wholesale

funding issuance volume, partially offset by higher earnings on capital and replicating deposits. The increase in average interest earning assets

was driven by higher Markets activities, lending growth across the Australia Retail, Australia Commercial and New Zealand divisions, and the

acquisition of Suncorp Bank, partially offset by lower lending in the Institutional division.

Other operating income increased $402 million (9%) driven by an increase of $392 million in Markets other operating income from more

favourable trading conditions and higher transaction activity, and $43 million from a loss of disposal of data centres in Australia and $26 million

from unfavourable valuation adjustments, both in the prior year. This was partially offset by a $91 million decrease in share of associates’ profit.

Operating expenses increased $582 million (6%) driven by inflationary impacts, higher costs associated with strategic initiatives, the impact from

the acquisition of Suncorp Bank and restructuring costs. This was partially offset by productivity initiatives and the initial one-off levy under the

Compensation Scheme of Last Resort (CSLR) in 2023.

Credit impairment increased $161 million (66%) driven by a $110 million increase in collectively assessed credit impairment driven by $244

million from Suncorp Bank, partially offset by improvement in economic outlook, and a $51 million increase in individually assessed credit

impairment.

Net fee and commission income decreased $1 million driven by a decrease in non-lending fees in the Australia Commercial division, and lower

cards revenue in the Australia Retail division. This was partially offset by higher transaction activity in the Institutional division.

Markets other operating income increased $392 million (20%) driven by increases in Franchise Revenue across most product groups from more

favourable trading conditions and higher transaction activity, an increase in derivative valuation adjustments with gains from favourable credit and

funding spreads, partially offset by lower Balance Sheet revenues from the impact of fewer short-term interest rate increases than prior year.

Share of associates' profit decreased $91 million (40%) driven by loss of equity accounted earnings following the disposal of AMMB Holdings

Berhad (AmBank), and a decrease in the Group’s equity accounted share of profit from P.T Bank Pan Indonesia (PT Panin).

Other income increased $102 million (30%) primarily driven by the net increase from non-recurring items in the prior year (including unfavourable

valuation adjustments, loss on disposal of data centres, and favourable adjustment to gain on sale relating to the completed UDC Finance

divestment), and a release of excess provision following legal settlements. This was partially offset by lower gains from recycling of foreign

currency translation reserves from other comprehensive income to Income Statement on dissolution of a number of international entities, and a

loss on disposal of investment in AmBank.

Personnel expenses increased $404 million (7%) driven by inflationary impacts on wages including an increase in leave provisions, impact from

initiatives.

Technology expenses increased $208 million (12%) driven by higher software licence costs, inflationary impacts on vendor costs and the impact

from acquisition of Suncorp Bank including accelerated amortisation expense on alignment to the Group’s software capitalisation policy. This was

Restructuring expenses increased $66 million (39%) driven by operational changes across the Group.

Other expenses decreased $100 million (6%) driven by the initial one-off CSLR levy in the September 2023 full year and benefits from

Collectively assessed credit impairment charge/(release) ($m)


The collectively assessed impairment charge of $262 million for 2024 was driven by acquisition accounting related adjustments for Suncorp

Bank, deterioration in credit risk profile across all divisions, and portfolio growth. This was partially offset by improvement in economic outlook and

a reduction in management temporary adjustments as anticipated risks are more represented in portfolio credit profiles. The collectively assessed

impairment charge of $152 million for 2023 was driven by deterioration in the economic outlook and credit risk. This was partially offset by

favourable changes in portfolio composition, particularly in the Institutional division.

Individually assessed credit impairment charge/(release) ($m)


The individually assessed credit impairment charge increased $51 million (55%) driven by increases in the Australia Commercial division from SME

Banking portfolio, the Australia Retail division from unsecured portfolio and the New Zealand division from the Business & Agri portfolio, partially

offset by a decrease in the Institutional division due to lower new impairment flows.

Gross impaired assets by division ($m)


Gross impaired assets increased $172 million (11%) driven by an increase in the Australia Retail division due to restructured home loan facilities,

the acquisition of Suncorp Bank, an increase in the Australia Commercial due to deterioration in the SME Banking portfolio, and an increase in the

New Zealand division due to portfolio deterioration across all portfolios. This was partially offset by a decrease in the Institutional division due to the

upgrade of several single name exposures, and the Pacific division due to reduced restructured exposures.


Total allowance for expected credit losses ($m)


The increase in total allowance for expected credit losses was driven by a $215 million increase in the collectively assessed allowance for

expected credit losses, partially offset by a $68 million decrease in the individually assessed allowance for expected credit losses.

The increase in collectively assessed allowance for expected credit losses was driven by deterioration in credit risk profile across all divisions

($267 million), the additional allowance for ECL from Suncorp Bank ($248 million), and portfolio growth ($88 million). This was partially offset by

reduction in management temporary adjustments ($201 million), improvement in economic outlook ($136 million), and reduction from foreign

currency translation and other impacts ($51 million).

The decrease in individually assessed allowance for expected credit losses was driven by a decrease in the Institutional division due to lower new

impairment flows and continued write-backs.

Divisional performance


Australia Retail

Lending volumes increased driven by home loan growth. Net interest margin decreased driven by margin contraction from home loan

and deposit pricing competition, unfavourable deposit mix with a shift towards lower margin term deposits, and higher net funding

costs. This was partially offset by higher earnings on capital and replicating portfolio. Operating expenses increased driven by

inflationary impacts and incremental costs associated with strategic initiatives including ANZ Plus, partially offset by lower restructuring

expense, and benefits from productivity initiatives. Credit impairment charge decreased primarily driven by lower collectively assessed

credit impairment, partially offset by higher individually assessed credit impairment charge due to higher new impairment flows in the

unsecured portfolio.

Australia Commercial

Lending volumes increased driven by Diversified & Specialist Businesses, partially offset by lower lending in Central Functions and SME

Banking. Net interest margin decreased driven by unfavourable deposit mix with a shift towards lower margin term deposits, asset

margin contraction from pricing competition, and higher net funding costs. This was offset by favourable deposit margins and higher

earnings on capital and replicating portfolio. Other operating income decreased driven by a decrease in non-lending fees and a gain on

sale of Investment Lending business in the prior year. Operating expenses increased driven by higher restructuring expense and

inflationary impacts, partially offset by benefits from productivity initiatives. Credit impairment charge decreased driven by lower

collectively assessed credit impairment, partially offset by higher individually assessed credit impairment charge due to higher new

impairment flows in the SME Banking portfolio.


Institutional

Lending volumes increased driven by higher Markets balances, partially offset by lower core lending in Transaction Banking. Net interest

margin ex-Markets increased driven by higher earnings on capital. Other operating income increased driven by higher Markets

revenues in the customer franchise business lines. Operating expenses increased driven by inflationary impacts and higher restructuring

expense, partially offset by benefits from productivity initiatives. Credit impairment release decreased driven by higher collectively

assessed credit impairment, partially offset by higher individually assessed credit impairment release due to lower new impairment flows.


New Zealand

Lending volumes increased driven by home loan growth, partially offset by contraction in business lending. Net interest margin

decreased driven by unfavourable deposit margin, unfavourable deposit mix with a shift towards lower margin term deposits. This was

partially offset by lower net funding costs and higher earnings on capital. Other operating income decreased driven by a gain on

disposal of data centres in New Zealand in the prior year. Operating expenses increased driven by inflationary pressure, higher

restructuring expense and seasonal factors, partially offset by benefits from productivity initiatives. Credit impairment charge decreased

driven by lower collectively assessed credit impairment flows, partially offset by higher individually assessed credit impairment due to

higher new impairments mainly in the Business & Agri portfolio.

Suncorp Bank

2024 results include 2 months results from the date of acquisition. This includes acquisition related adjustments of $196 million loss

after tax comprising a collectively assessed credit impairment charge of $244 million ($171 million after tax) for Suncorp Bank’s

performing loans and advances, and an accelerated software amortisation expense of $36 million ($25 million after tax) on alignment to

the Group’s software capitalisation policy.

Pacific

Cash profit decreased driven by lower credit impairment release, partially offset by lower expenses and higher other operating income.


Group Centre

Cash loss increased primarily driven by lower equity accounted earnings and a loss on sale following the disposal of AmBank, partially

offset by increases driven by a number of non-recurring items in the prior year, including unfavourable valuation adjustment from

investments measured at fair value through profit or loss in the prior year, and a loss on disposal of data centres in Australia.

Total risk weighted assets ($b) 446.6 433.3 3%

APRA Leverage Ratio 4.7% 5.4%

The Group’s capital management framework includes managing to Board approved risk appetite settings and maintaining all regulatory

requirements. APRA requirements at Level 1 and Level 2 include ANZ operating at or above APRA’s expectation for Domestic Systematically

Important Banks (D-SIBs).

APRA, under the authority of the Banking Act 1959, sets minimum regulatory requirements for banks including what is acceptable as regulatory

capital and provides methods of measuring the risks incurred by ANZ Bank Group.

The ANZ Bank Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 12.2% based on APRA Basel III standards, exceeding APRA’s minimum requirements. It

decreased 114 bps driven by the impact of dividends paid during the year, acquisition of Suncorp Bank, the transfer of capital from ANZBGL to

ANZGHL to fund $2 billion share buy-back, and underlying RWA movement. This was partially offset by cash earnings, proceeds from disposal of

investment in AmBank and mortgage RWA modelling initiatives.

At 30 September 2024, ANZ Bank Group’s leverage ratio was 4.7% which is above the 3.5% minimum for internal ratings-based approach ADI,

including ANZ.

2024 Remuneration

Report – audited

Dear Shareholder,

Following a record performance in 2023,

the ANZ team has delivered another year

of strong financial results, along with

significant progress on our strategic

agenda, including completion of the

acquisition of Suncorp Bank and

significant growth in customers joining

our ANZ Plus platform. For shareholders,

we have delivered 27% Total Shareholder

Return (TSR) in financial year 2024, and

we also announced an on market share

buy-back in May 2024.

Two years ago, the Board revised the

executive remuneration structure to

ensure compliance with CPS 511

Remuneration and to ensure that the

Board had levers within the framework to

take into account business and leadership

performance, as well as the management

of financial and non-financial risk. This

year, the Board applied these levers with

respect to 2024 remuneration outcomes,

including as a result of a series of issues

stemming from our Markets business, and

an additional $250m capital overlay

imposed by APRA due to Non-Financial

Risk (NFR) matters. (Note: these issues are

outlined in the ‘Chairman’s message’ of the

Annual Report, and in this report we have

referenced the specific instances where

consequences have been considered and

applied, with an overall summary outlined

in Section 6).

Notwithstanding these issues, the

Board considers that the business has

performed well in 2024, and financial

2024 remuneration outcomes

Short Term Variable Remuneration

(STVR) – Awarded

The ANZ Group Scorecard performance

is a key component informing STVR

outcomes for the Chief Executive Officer

(CEO) and Disclosed Executives, as well as

the majority of ANZ Group employees. The

2024 Group Scorecard performance was

assessed at 99% of target. However, with

the application of the Risk Modifier, the

overall scorecard performance reduced

to 90%/Below Target.

In order to improve clarity and alignment

to the ANZ Group Scorecard, the Board

determined that for 2024, the CEO’s STVR

would be based on 100% of the ANZ

Group Scorecard results, with allowance

for a CEO Leadership Modifier adjustment

focused on the CEO’s leadership of key

strategic priorities and risk management

(Section 5.1.2).

In the Board’s assessment, the CEO

Shayne Elliott, has continued to

demonstrate good leadership of the

Group and we have therefore assessed

him as on target for the CEO Leadership

Modifier component of his assessment.

Specifically, his leadership of key strategic

objectives has positioned ANZ well for the

future, and he is consistently a role model

of ANZ’s values and behaviours. Given,

however, that the CEO has ultimate

accountability for the broader Group’s

performance, the CEO needs to bear

appropriate accountability for the impact

of the Markets and NFR matters. As a

result, the Board applied its discretion

and assessed the CEO’s performance

as Below Target, and determined the

appropriate 2024 STVR outcome was

65% of target opportunity (52% of

maximum opportunity).

For Disclosed Executives, the Board

approved 2024 STVR outcomes which

range from 50% to 88% of target (average

Short Term Variable Remuneration

(STVR) – Awarded

The ANZ Group Scorecard performance

is a key component informing STVR

outcomes for the Chief Executive Officer

(CEO) and Disclosed Executives, as well as

the majority of ANZ Group employees. The

2024 Group Scorecard performance was

assessed at 99% of target. However, with

would be based on 100% of the ANZ

Group Scorecard results, with allowance

for a CEO Leadership Modifier adjustment

(Section 5.1.2).

In the Board’s assessment, the CEO

Shayne Elliott, has continued to

him as on target for the CEO Leadership

Specifically, his leadership of key strategic

For Disclosed Executives, the Board

approved 2024 STVR outcomes which

range from 50% to 88% of target (average

34Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report34

75%). This reflects their individual and

Divisional performance, the Below Target

assessment for Group performance,

collective accountability for the NFR

matters, and individual consequences

(where relevant) for the Markets matters.

Long Term Variable Remuneration

(LTVR) – Lapsed/Granted

The performance rights granted in late

2019 to the CEO and relevant Disclosed

Executives did not meet the hurdles when

tested at the end of the performance

period in November 2023, therefore 100%

of these performance rights lapsed.

Last year, the 2024 LTVR (comprised of

50% performance rights and 50%

restricted rights), was granted to the CEO

and Disclosed Executives at full

opportunity, following the Board’s pre grant

assessment in October 2023 for restricted

rights, determining that no reduction was

required. For the CEO, the 2024 LTVR grant

was $3,375,000, noting that LTVR is future

focused and vests over time.

In considering the pre grant assessment

for the 2025 LTVR, the Board has chosen

to adjust the restricted rights (which make

up 50% of LTVR at full opportunity),

downward by 10%, due to the risk matters

discussed above. The CEO’s proposed

2025 LTVR of $3,206,250, will be subject

to a shareholder vote at the upcoming

2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Fixed remuneration

Effective for 2024, Disclosed Executives

(excluding the CEO), received a Fixed

Remuneration (FR) adjustment to maintain

or improve market positioning. There were

no further increases to FR for 2024.

Changes to the way we

remunerate executives

(from 2024 onward)

For LTVR awards of performance rights,

only from financial year 2024 onward,

the Board approved in July 2023:

• the removal of DBS Bank Limited from

the Select Financial Services (SFS)

relative TSR comparator group, to better

balance the weighting of international

peers in our comparator group; and

• that Compound Annual Growth Rate

(CAGR) targets for the absolute CAGR

TSR hurdle be based on the time

weighted Cost of Capital (CoC) over the

four-year performance period rather

than the CoC at the start of the period,

to better reflect cyclical factors

impacting shareholders.

In addition, post the Suncorp Bank

acquisition and applicable to both awards

currently on foot and future LTVR awards

of performance rights, the Board approved

the removal of Suncorp Group Limited

from the relative TSR SFS comparator

group (Section 9.1).

Holly Kramer

Chair – People & Culture Committee

Changes to the way we

remunerate executives

(from 2025 onward)

In 2024, the People & Culture

Committee recommended, and

the Board approved, changes to

the ANZ Group Scorecard and

performance approach for

financial year 2025 onward.

The intention is to provide a

greater focus on fewer, more

meaningful objectives that will

drive sustainable long-term

performance, and to provide a

more transparent link between

performance and remuneration

outcomes. This approach is also

consistent with shareholder

feedback.

The key changes arising from this

review will be effective from 2025,

and are summarised as follows:

• reduction in the number of

objectives and indicators;

• provision of weightings for each

objective rather than at the

category level only;

• introduction of threshold/target/

stretch targets for each indicator;

• increase in the performance

assessment weighting for Group

performance for frontline

Disclosed Executives, from 25%

to 40%, to recognise the increase

in Group-wide priorities (excluding

Group Executive and CEO, New

Zealand); and

• increase in the weighting of

financial measures from 40% to

50% in our Group and Divisional

Scorecards.

Non-Executive

Director (NED) fees

For 2024 there was a 2% uplift to the

NED member fee, and uplifts to fees for

Committee chairs and members. There

was no change to the fees for the Board

Chair (Section 7.1).

In closing, and on behalf of my Board

colleagues, I’d like to thank all of our

ANZ employees for their important

contributions this past year. While the

year has been marked by some

challenges in the bank, underlying

performance was strong and we have

made meaningful progress on our

long-term goals.

The Remuneration Report for Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZBGL) outlines our remuneration
strategy and structure and the remuneration practices that apply to Key Management Personnel (KMP). This report has

been prepared, and audited, as required by the Corporations Act 2001. It forms part of the Directors’ Report.

This report includes disclosures for the full financial year 2024 (1 October 2023 to 30 September 2024). Ordinary shares and employee

equity (deferred shares, deferred share rights, restricted rights and performance rights) held prior to 3 January 2023

1

were previously

ANZBGL related equity – post the listing of ANZGHL, the equity was converted to ANZGHL related equity. References to ‘the Board’

throughout this report mean the Boards of ANZGHL and ANZBGL.

Section 5.1.1 ANZ Group Scorecard – approach and 2024 outcomes relates to ANZGHL rather than ANZBGL given this forms the basis

for determining performance and remuneration outcomes for the CEO and Disclosed Executives.

KMP are Directors of the Group (or entity)

(whether executive directors or otherwise),

and those personnel with a key

responsibility for the strategic direction

and management of the Group (or entity)

(i.e., members of the Group Executive

Committee (ExCo)) who have Financial

Accountability Regime (FAR) Accountability

and who report to the CEO (referred to as

Disclosed Executives).

1.1 Disclosed Executive

and Non-Executive Director

changes

There were several changes to our KMP

during the 2024 year:

• Ilana Atlas and John Macfarlane retired

as Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) on

21 December 2023, at the conclusion

of the 2023 AGM.

• John Cincotta and Richard Gibb

commenced as NEDs on

15 February 2024.

• Following Sir John Key retiring as

a NED on 14 March 2024, Scott

St John commenced as a NED on

25 March 2024.

• Richard Howell concluded as Acting

Group Executive, Talent & Culture on

8 October 2023 following the

appointment of Elisa Clements to the

role of Group Executive, Talent &

Culture, effective 9 October 2023.

3.1 Five-year ANZ financial performance summary

When determining variable remuneration outcomes for the CEO, Disclosed Executives and employees, a range of different financial

indicators are considered. The Group uses cash profit as a measure of performance for the Group’s ongoing business activities, as

this provides a basis to assess Group and Divisional performance against earlier periods and against peer institutions.

The adjustments made in arriving at cash profit are included in statutory profit which is subject to audit. Although cash profit is not

audited, the external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that the cash profit adjustments have been determined on a

consistent basis across each period presented.

2024 statutory profit is down 8% compared to the prior financial year, while cash profit is down 9%, with both metrics impacted by

one-off Suncorp Bank acquisition related adjustments. Excluding the one-off adjustments, statutory profit is down 5% and cash profit

is down 7%.

During 2024 the Group commenced a $2 billion share buy-back to return surplus capital to its shareholders, which up to

30 September 2024 has resulted in the Group returning $883m of capital to shareholders via the acquisition of 30 million shares

on the market.

The following overview highlights how the executive performance and remuneration framework supports ANZ’s purpose and strategy.

4.2 Alignment of remuneration and risk

Variable remuneration for the CEO and Disclosed Executives is designed to align remuneration and risk.

Alignment of remuneration and risk

Variable remuneration for the CEO and Disclosed Executives is aligned to risk management through:

Assessing behaviours

based on ANZ’s values

and risk/compliance

standards (including

the FAR)

Determining variable

remuneration

outcomes with risk as

a modifier – impacting

outcomes at both a

pool and individual level

Weighting

remuneration toward

the longer-term with a

significant proportion

at risk

Emphasising risk in the

determination and

vesting of LTVR

restricted rights

(Section 9.1.1)

Reinforcing the

importance of risk

culture in driving

sustainable long-term

performance in the

LTVR design

Providing material

weight to non-financial

metrics (particularly risk)

in line with APRA

requirements

Ensuring risk

measures are

considered over a

long-time horizon

(up to 5 and 6 years)

Determining

accountability

and applying

consequences

where appropriate

Strengthening risk

consequences with

clawback (Section 4.5)

Prohibiting the hedging

of unvested equity

Variable remuneration can be adjusted downwards, including to zero, allowing the Board to hold executives accountable, individually or

collectively, for the longer-term impacts of their decisions and actions.

4.3 Remuneration structure and delivery

There are two core components of remuneration at ANZ – fixed remuneration and at risk variable remuneration.

In structuring remuneration, the Board aims to find the right balance between fixed and variable remuneration (at risk), the way

it is delivered (cash versus deferred remuneration) and appropriate deferral time frames (the short, medium and long-term).

The Board sets and reviews annually the CEO and Disclosed Executives’ FR based on financial services market relativities and

reflecting each executive’s responsibilities, performance, qualifications and experience.

The CEO and Disclosed Executives’ variable remuneration is comprised of STVR and LTVR consistent with external market practice.

At target performance, 63% of variable remuneration for the CEO and Disclosed Executives, and 56% of variable remuneration for

the CRO is deferred for at least four years from the date the Board approved the variable remuneration in October, and the date

shareholders approve the CEO’s LTVR, noting that this complies with the FAR minimum deferral requirement of 60% for the CEO and

40% for Disclosed Executives.

4.3.2 Variable remuneration delivery

Variable remuneration for the CEO and the Disclosed Executives (excluding the CRO and former Acting GE T&C) is delivered as follows:

• STVR as 50% cash paid to executives at the end of the annual Performance and Remuneration Review (December), and subject to

clawback for two years post payment, and 50% shares deferred equally over years 2 and 3 (granted in November in respect of

performance for the prior financial year); and

• LTVR as restricted rights and performance rights granted at the beginning of the financial year in November/December, and

deferred over:

–year 4 (33%), year 5 (33%) and year 6 (34%) for the CEO; and

–year 4 (50%) and year 5 (50%) for Disclosed Executives.

Both restricted rights and performance rights are tested against the relevant performance condition at the end of the four-year

performance period and are then subject to additional holding period(s) until the completion of the respective deferral periods (Section 9.1).

Before any scheduled release of deferred remuneration, the Board considers whether malus should be applied to previously deferred

remuneration (or further deferral of vesting), or clawback to variable remuneration previously granted (two years post payment or

vesting), for the CEO and Disclosed Executives (Section 4.5).

1. CRO mix: 33.3% FR/33.3% STVR/33.3% LTVR. STVR maximum opportunity: the same as CEO/DE at 100% of FR, LTVR full opportunity: 100% of FR and delivered as 100% RR to

support independence. 2. If the CEO receives above target STVR, the amount above target will be delivered as 40% cash and 60% DS (20% year 4, 20% year 5, 20% year 6) to ensure

compliance with the minimum deferral requirements with respect to FAR and APRA’s Prudential Standard CPS 511 Remuneration.

4.3.2 Variable remuneration delivery

Variable remuneration for the CEO and the Disclosed Executives (excluding the CRO and former Acting GE T&C) is delivered as follows:

• STVR as 50% cash paid to executives at the end of the annual Performance and Remuneration Review (December), and subject to

clawback for two years post payment, and 50% shares deferred equally over years 2 and 3 (granted in November in respect of

performance for the prior financial year); and

• LTVR as restricted rights and performance rights granted at the beginning of the financial year in November/December, and

deferred over:

–year 4 (33%), year 5 (33%) and year 6 (34%) for the CEO; and

–year 4 (50%) and year 5 (50%) for Disclosed Executives.

Both restricted rights and performance rights are tested against the relevant performance condition at the end of the four-year

performance period and are then subject to additional holding period(s) until the completion of the respective deferral periods (Section 9.1).

Before any scheduled release of deferred remuneration, the Board considers whether malus should be applied to previously deferred

remuneration (or further deferral of vesting), or clawback to variable remuneration previously granted (two years post payment or

vesting), for the CEO and Disclosed Executives (Section 4.5).

1. CRO mix: 33.3% FR/33.3% STVR/33.3% LTVR. STVR maximum opportunity: the same as CEO/DE at 100% of FR, LTVR full opportunity: 100% of FR and delivered as 100% RR to

support independence. 2. If the CEO receives above target STVR, the amount above target will be delivered as 40% cash and 60% DS (20% year 4, 20% year 5, 20% year 6) to ensure

compliance with the minimum deferral requirements with respect to FAR and APRA’s Prudential Standard CPS 511 Remuneration.

42Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report

For deferred variable remuneration for the CEO and Disclosed Executives, we calculate the number of deferred shares to be granted

based on the VWAP of the shares traded on the ASX in the five trading days leading up to and including 1 October (i.e., in line with the

beginning of the financial year). Allocations prior to the 2022 financial year were based on the VWAP in the five trading days leading up

to and including the date of grant. The VWAP used for disclosure and expensing purposes is the one-day VWAP at the date of grant,

which is in line with the Accounting Standard.

In some cases, we may grant deferred share rights to executives instead of deferred shares. Each deferred share right entitles the

holder to one ordinary share.

4.4 Performance assessment

The following provides a summary of the performance assessment approach for the CEO and Disclosed Executives.

Financial Accountability Regime (FAR) compliance is the gateway that requires the Accountable Person to meet their obligations in line

with their Accountability Statement under the FAR since 15 March 2024 and, prior to that, under the Banking Executive Accountability

Regime (BEAR). The ‘what’ assessment comprises of the ANZ Group Scorecard and Divisional Scorecard (excluding the CEO). Both the

Group and Divisional Scorecard assessments are calculated as follows: Risk modifier

1

% x [Shareholder/Financial % + Customer % +

People & Culture %]. The ‘what’ assessment outcome is then modified by the ‘how’ modifier. The ‘how’ modifier for Disclosed

Executives considers a macro view of the individual’s approach to risk, demonstration of ANZ behaviours, and their contribution to

building a successful Group Executive team. See below and Section 5.1.2 for CEO Leadership Modifier detail.

4.4.1 CEO performance

The CEO’s STVR is assessed 100% on

the ANZ Group Scorecard, adjusted by

the CEO Leadership Modifier, which takes

into consideration the CEO’s leadership of:

• Key strategic priorities aligned with

ANZ’s strategy

• ANZ’s values/behaviours

• ANZ’s risk and compliance standards

This is a change from 2023, where

performance informing the CEO’s

STVR was split 50% between the

Group Scorecard and the CEO’s

individual objectives.

With the change to 100% assessment on

the ANZ Group Scorecard (as highlighted

in the ‘People & Culture Committee Chair

letter’), the weighting to financial

performance for the CEO is around 40%

(moving to 50% in 2025); however noting

that the CEO’s STVR is not formulaic.

1. Note for the CRO, Risk is incorporated in the Scorecard rather than as a separate modifier. 2. Performance

arrangements for the CRO are addressed additionally by the Risk Committee. Performance arrangements for the GE &

CEO, New Zealand are determined and approved by the ANZ NZ HR Committee/ANZ NZ Board in consultation with and

endorsed by the People & Culture Committee/Board, consistent with their respective regulatory obligations.

The Scorecard/strategic priorities are

agreed upon by the Board at the

beginning of the financial year (and are

designed to be stretching). At the end of

the financial year, the People & Culture

Committee reviews and recommends to

the Board for approval the CEO’s overall

performance taking into consideration:

i. Performance against the ANZ Group

Scorecard

ii. CEO Leadership Modifier

iii. Input from the Chairman

iv. Compliance with FAR obligations

v. Control function reports from the CRO

(on risk management), CFO (on financial

performance), GE T&C (on talent and

culture matters) and Group General

Manager Internal Audit (GGM IA) (on

internal audit matters)

vi. Material risk, audit and conduct events

that have either occurred or come to

light in the year

vii. Input from both the Audit Committee

and the Risk Committee of the Board

4.4.2 Disclosed Executive

performance

At the start of each year, stretching

performance objectives are set for

Disclosed Executives through Divisional

Scorecards, aligned with the ANZ Group

Scorecard. At the end of the financial year,

the People & Culture Committee

recommends to the Board for approval the

performance of each Disclosed Executive

i. the ANZ Group Scorecard

(25% to 50% weighting)

ii. their Divisional Scorecard

(50% to 75% weighting)

iii. ANZ’s values/behaviours

iv. points iv) to vii) as detailed for the CEO

The ANZ Group Scorecard weighting for

Disclosed Executives varies based on

role focus:

• 50% weighting for enablement

Disclosed Executives: Chief Financial

Officer, GE Strategy & Transformation,

GE Talent & Culture, and GE Technology

& Group Services

• 25% weighting for Chief Risk Officer,

market risk, climate risk, non-financial risk and strategic risk.

However, to reinforce the importance of collective accountability and contribution to Group outcomes, the Group weighting will increase

from 25% to 40% in 2025 for frontline Disclosed Executives (excluding GE & CEO, New Zealand). The Chief Risk Officer will retain a 25%

weighting to reinforce independence of the role.

Similar to the ANZ Group Scorecard, the Divisional Scorecards include the key elements of Shareholder/Financial, Customer, and People

& Culture, with Risk acting as a modifier.

4.5 Board discretion

Variable remuneration is ’at risk’ remuneration and can range from zero to maximum opportunity. At the end of the financial year,

the Board

1

approves variable remuneration recommendations for the CEO and each Disclosed Executive following lengthy and

detailed discussions and assessment, supported by comprehensive analysis of performance from a number of sources.

Board discretion is applied when determining all CEO and Disclosed Executive variable remuneration outcomes including:

• the size of the ANZIP variable remuneration pool;

• STVR and LTVR outcomes for each financial year;

• LTVR vesting outcomes (including pre vest assessment); and

• downward adjustment of variable remuneration as part of consequence management, in accordance with applicable law and

any terms and conditions provided (see below).

Downward adjustment of variable remuneration

The Board may choose to exercise the following options or a combination of these at any time, but will always consider their

use if any of the circumstances specified by Prudential Standard CPS 511 Remuneration occur. #1 to #3 below are

applicable to all employees, while clawback (#4) is limited to select employees (primarily the CEO, Disclosed Executives and

senior employees in jurisdictions where clawback regulations apply):

1. In year adjustment

The most common type of

downward adjustment, which

reduces the amount of

variable remuneration an

employee may have otherwise

been awarded for that year.

2. Further deferral/freezing

Delays the decision to pay/

allocate variable

remuneration, or further

defers the vesting of

deferred remuneration or

freezes vested/unexercised

shares and rights. This would

typically only be considered

where an investigation is

pending/underway.

3. Malus

Is an adjustment to reduce the

value of all or part of deferred

remuneration before it has

vested. Malus is used in cases

of more serious performance

or behaviour issues. Any and

all variable remuneration we

award or grant to an employee

is subject to ANZ’s on-going

and absolute discretion to

apply malus and adjust

variable remuneration

downward (including to zero)

at any time before the relevant

variable remuneration vests.

4. Clawback

Is the recovery of variable

remuneration that has

already vested or been paid

(up to two years from

vesting/payment or a longer

period as determined by

Board discretion, policy or

applicable law). This would

typically only be considered

if the other types of

downward adjustment/other 

consequences are

considered inadequate given

the severity of the situation.

Before any scheduled vesting of deferred remuneration, the Board (for the CEO, Disclosed Executives and other specified roles) and/or

the Enterprise Accountability Group (EAG) (for other employees) considers whether any further deferral, malus, or clawback should be

applied (Section 6).

4.6 Alignment of executive and shareholder interests

Variable remuneration for the CEO and Disclosed Executives is designed to align executive and shareholder interests.

Alignment of executive and shareholder interests

More broadly, ANZ’s variable remuneration structure supports the alignment of executives with the interests of shareholders through:

Substantial shareholding

requirements (around

80% of variable

remuneration at

maximum opportunity

deferred into ANZ equity,

and 75% for the CRO to

ensure alignment with

shareholder interests and

to ensure focus on

long-term value creation)

Significant variable

remuneration deferral

up to 5 and 6 years in

ANZ equity (which also

supports retention)

Significant weighting to

the LTVR component

(around 60% of VR)

which includes relative

and absolute TSR

hurdles

Consideration of cash

profit and economic

profit in determining

ANZIP variable

remuneration pool

Consideration of

the shareholder

experience (in respect

of the share price

and dividend) in

determining ANZIP

variable remuneration

pool and individual

outcomes

1. Remuneration arrangements for the Group Executive and CEO, New Zealand are determined and approved by the ANZ NZ Board in consultation with and endorsed by the Board,

consistent with their respective regulatory obligations.

To preserve the independence of the role and to minimise any conflicts of interest in carrying out the risk control function across the

While the STVR opportunity (100% of FR) is the same as the CEO and Disclosed Executives, the LTVR opportunity is different

(100% of FR instead of 135% of FR) reflecting the delivery of LTVR as 100% restricted rights (instead of 50% restricted rights and

50% performance rights). Maximum variable remuneration opportunity is 200% of FR for the CRO. The remuneration mix is 33.3%

FR/33.3% STVR/33.3% LTVR.

Former Acting Group Executive, Talent & Culture

Due to the acting nature of R Howell’s appointment his remuneration arrangements differed to other Disclosed Executives. For the time

spent in this acting role, his FR was set at $700k per annum from 1 June 2023 and increased to $703k from 1 July 2023 (due to the

impact of the Superannuation Guarantee rate change). His VR maximum opportunity was set at 150% of FR (his remuneration mix was

therefore 40% FR/60% VR). His VR in the acting role was delivered as 60% cash and 40% as shares deferred over years 4 to 5 to ensure

compliance with CPS 511 deferral requirements.

5.1.1 ANZ Group Scorecard – approach and 2024 outcomes

The ANZ Group Scorecard is approved by the Board at the start of each year. It plays a key role to:

Message internally what

matters most

Reinforce the importance of sound

management in addition to risk,

shareholder/financial, customer,

and people and culture outcomes

Inform focus of effort,

prioritisation and decision-

making across ANZ


Assessment of performance against the ANZ Group Scorecard provides a key input (as illustrated in Section 4.4):

In determining the size of the ANZ

Incentive Plan (ANZIP) variable

remuneration pool, which funds

individual variable remuneration

outcomes for all employees/STVR

for Disclosed Executives (excluding

the CEO to help mitigate potential

conflicts of interest)

In the overall performance assessment for the CEO (100% weighting,

adjusted based on a CEO Leadership Modifier) and Disclosed Executives

(25% – 50% weighting), which informs the STVR awarded outcomes in

Section 5.1.2

As managing risk appropriately is fundamental to the way ANZ operates, risk forms an integral part of the assessment, directly

impacting the overall ANZ Group Scorecard outcome (a modifier ranging from 0% to 110% of the ANZ Group Scorecard assessment).

On the following pages we have outlined ANZ’s 2024 Group Scorecard and provided a summary of outcomes for each of the key

performance categories to inform the overall assessment for 2024.

Effectively manage total cost growth, in support of our 3yr Strategic Plan

(including our 2024 productivity ambition)

• Economic profit exceeded plan by $88m after removing the impact from Suncorp Bank, which was not included in the original plan.

• Total cost growth was 6%. Excluding Suncorp Bank division, the cost growth of 4% was marginally higher than plan as a result of higher

restructuring costs to further our productivity agenda. Continued inflation and high levels of investment directed into growth, productivity and

simplification initiatives were partially offset by disciplined cost management and productivity initiatives.

• Return on equity (ROE) exceeded target by 36 basis points after removing the impacts from Suncorp Bank earnings not included in the

original plan.

Key objectivesOutcomes

Establish an adaptable workforce and operating model that delivers innovation

and outcomes for our customers more quickly

BelowTargetAbove

Retain high performers (particularly those with the skills to support our business

transformation)

Maintain a purpose led culture, with strong employee engagement, and

improved diversity and inclusion

• Engagement continued to be very high (84% vs 87% in 2023). This engagement is evidenced beyond survey data in other measures such

as participation in the ‘Lead@ANZ program’ (over 75% of eligible leaders having commenced the program), around 1,300 engineers having

completed the ‘Engineering Career Pathways program’ and the number of staff who chose to be upskilled in ESG (3,249 completed the

‘ESG@ANZ learning program’).

• Retention of high performers was also strong, despite a more competitive employment market.

• A new Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) target was created in 2024 (aligned to our D&I strategy), and improvement from the baseline was positive.

We continued to make progress on Women in Leadership (38.8%, up from 37.3% in 2023) and also maintained our #1 ranking amongst

major bank peers in Glassdoor

employer of choice ratings.

Risk modifier0 to 110%: 90%/Below Target

Maintain risk discipline focused on good customer and regulatory outcomes

• Strong credit outcome with no material credit events recorded. Overall, credit and market risk has been well managed, and liquidity risk

remains appropriate.

• Ongoing progress in delivering key regulatory commitments and uplifting NFR management, however, the recent impost of an additional

$250m operational risk overlay on top of our current $500m overlay is acknowledged as a clear sign that we need to do more in this area,

and this will be a significant focus for 2025.

• The enterprise’s risk culture has been assessed as Needs Improvement in 2024. Regulatory concerns around our Markets business and

NFR management have contributed to this re-assessment. Importantly, a high ‘Speak Up’ index of 81% was achieved, reflecting sustained

efforts to encourage people to speak up and challenge each other respectfully.

• No repeat adverse audits, no material Risk Appetite Statement breaches, and no material overdue regulatory issues.

Overall Group Performance AssessmentAssessment: 90%/Below Target

Overall performance (excluding the impact of the Risk Modifier), is assessed at 99% or slightly below target, despite a challenging

economic and socio-political environment. This reflects our strong financial performance with all business lines each contributing strongly,

solid progress against our long-term strategic objectives, and good customer and people outcomes.

However, while ANZ delivered against the majority of the Group Scorecard objectives, the recent issues in the Markets business, and the

additional $250m capital overlay from APRA in response to concerns regarding NFR matters, resulted in the application of a Risk Modifier of

90%, and therefore an overall performance assessment for 2024 of 90% (rounded) or Below Target. The Board notes that STVR outcomes

for the CEO and Disclosed Executives also take into consideration performance against individual objectives.

5.1.2 CEO and DEs STVR – 2024 outcomes
At the end of the financial year, the People & Culture Committee makes a recommendation to the Board for approval in respect of

STVR outcomes. STVR will vary up or down year-on-year, it is not guaranteed, and may range from zero to a maximum opportunity.

Where expectations are met, STVR is likely to be awarded around 80% of maximum opportunity. Where performance is below

expectations, STVR will be less (potentially down to zero), and where above expectations, STVR will be more (potentially up to

maximum opportunity). The degree of variance in individual STVR outcomes for Disclosed Executives reflects the weighting of the

Group component (i.e., roles with 50% Group weighting will generally have less differentiation), and relative performance of the

different areas/individuals.

Summary of how the 2024 overall performance assessment has impacted the STVR Allocation

2024 remuneration outcomes reflect both the overall performance of the Group and the performance of each individual/Division.

The following provides a summary of how the performance assessment has been impacted as a result of the Markets and NFR

matters, and therefore the resulting impact on the 2024 awarded STVR.

2024 STVR Allocation (Target: 80%; Max: 100% as % of FR)

1. The term ‘accountability’ is used in the broader sense – i.e., taken to mean that the CEO/Disclosed Executives are ultimately responsible for the effective management of risk and the

performance of the bank, and therefore should bear appropriate consequences for the impacts of the matters. As used in this report, the term should not be taken to mean

accountability under FAR, unless otherwise stated. Where referring to FAR accountability, the term ‘Accountability’ will be capitalised.

The STVR awarded tables show a year-on-year comparison of STVR awarded to the CEO, and Disclosed Executives for the 2023 and

2024 performance periods. STVR awarded reflects actual cash and the deferred shares component of STVR awarded in respect of the

relevant financial year. As non-cash components are subject to future vesting outcomes, the awarded value may be higher or lower

than the future realised value.

Board assessment of CEO

Leadership Modifier

The CEO has delivered well against the

key factors forming part of the CEO

Leadership Modifier.

1. Led/driven performance against

the ANZ Group Scorecard

The CEO’s leadership of the bank’s key

priorities resulted in strong progress

against ANZ’s longer term strategy, and

good overall performance against 2024

objectives (Section 5.1.1). Key leadership

highlights include:

• Final approval and acquisition of

Suncorp Bank

• The ongoing successful rollout of ANZ

Plus with strong adoption numbers,

FUM growth and NPS, although

acknowledging the slower than

planned progress in some areas

(e.g., home loans)

• Exceeding many ESG targets

• Significant productivity saves, to enable

investment in key platforms for long

term success

While 2024 has been a year of many

successful achievements, the Board’s

reduction to the Risk Modifier resulted in

a Below Target Group Scorecard

assessment overall.

2. ANZ values/behaviours

The CEO’s personal role modelling of the

ANZ values and behaviours is exemplary,

and as a result he is highly respected by

ANZ staff and regarded as an authentic

leader. Externally, the CEO demonstrates

industry leadership on a range of matters,

including his advocacy on making banking

more accessible to the general population,

along with his regular engagement with

non-profit partners and community groups.

3. Individual risk/compliance assessment

The CEO actively leads, encourages and

cultivates a culture where people seek to

understand, measure and proactively

manage risk and compliance matters.

He sets the tone from the top regarding

the importance of risk management and

speak up culture across the bank, as

evidenced by the improvement from 83%

to 88% for the response to “At ANZ there

are appropriate risk consequences when

risk management processes and

behaviours are not followed.” While the

CEO is ultimately accountable for the

Markets and NFR matters, he has provided

strong positive leadership in response to

each matter.

Board discretion

While on balance the CEO’s performance

against the ‘what’ and ‘how’ assessments

were good, the Markets and NFR matters

have impacted ANZ’s reputation, the

confidence of customers, shareholders

and regulators, and increased the risk

capital overlay on ANZ by $250m. As a

result, the Board has applied its discretion

to ensure a fair and proportionate

performance and STVR outcome for the

CEO, given he has ultimate accountability

for these matters.

CEO

The Board determined that an STVR outcome of $1.3m (65% of target/52% of maximum opportunity) was appropriate for 2024 having

regard to the overall performance of the Group, the CEO Leadership Modifier, and the Board’s application of downward adjustment due

to risk and reputation considerations arising from the Markets and NFR matters. As a result, the CEO’s STVR outcome is down 46%

year-on-year.

The Board assessed the CEO’s 2024 performance as follows:

average exchange rate used to convert NZD to AUD as at 30 September for the relevant year.

5.2 Long term variable remuneration (LTVR)

LTVR reinforces the focus on achieving longer term strategic objectives, driving outperformance relative to peers, and creating long-

term sustained value for all stakeholders. LTVR will be awarded based on full opportunity unless the LTVR restricted rights pre grant

assessment results in any reduction (and is also subject to shareholder approval for the CEO).

Disclosed Executives

STVR outcomes for Disclosed Executives

continue to differ both year-on-year and

between executives demonstrating the

variability in Group and individual

performance year-on-year and the at risk

nature of this element of remuneration

(i.e., it is not guaranteed and may be

adjusted up or down ranging from zero

to a maximum opportunity).

In 2024, STVR outcomes for all Disclosed

Executives have been impacted by the

Markets and NFR matters (i.e., down 29%

on average year-on-year for those in role

for a full year in 2023 and 2024), due to the:

• impact of the Risk Modifier outcome on

the Group Scorecard assessment; and

• the application of a -20% individual Risk

Modifier adjustment for most Disclosed

Executives to reflect collective executive

accountability for the NFR challenges.

The risk assessment impact was

greatest for the CRO and GE,

Institutional to reflect their greater overall

accountability for these matters (i.e.,

issues took place within their area of

control and influence), resulting in an

average STVR reduction of 50%

year-on-year.

The average STVR outcome for current

Disclosed Executives is 75% of target

(60% of maximum opportunity). This

reflects both the overall assessment of

ANZ Group performance as Below Target

(Section 5.1.1), which is weighted 25% or

50%, and also individual performance

(Section 4.4.2) which is weighted 75% or

50% depending on role. Outcomes range

from 50% to 88% of target (or 40% to

71% of maximum opportunity).

To ensure an overall fair and proportionate

consequence for the Markets and NFR

matters, downward Board discretion was

applied to STVR outcomes for select

individuals (refer to Section 6 for

consequence considerations).

The 2024 STVR awarded outcome for

E Clements is based on her time as a

Disclosed Executive during 2024. R Howell

was awarded nil STVR for the 8 days he

was a Disclosed Executive during 2024.

Markets and NFR matters (i.e., down 29%

on average year-on-year for those in role

A pre vest assessment will determine the number of restricted rights that ultimately vest, and performance against TSR hurdles will

determine the level of vesting of performance rights and subsequent value of performance rights at the end of the performance period.

LTVR (restricted rights and performance rights) is designed to strengthen the alignment of executive interests with shareholders, and

2023) and the CEO (December 2023 post AGM).

The restricted rights component of LTVR was subject to a pre grant assessment by the Board which determined that the award should

be made at full value (i.e., no reduction); and will be subject to a pre vest assessment by the Board of non-financial measures at the end

of the four-year performance period to determine whether the restricted rights should vest in full.

LTVR – 2025 outcomes

Following completion of the 2025 LTVR pre grant assessment, the Board determined in October 2024 that the 2025 LTVR restricted

rights (50% of full LTVR opportunity), should be awarded at 90% of full opportunity to Disclosed Executives (November 2024) and the

CEO (December 2024 post AGM) due to risk considerations.

This adjustment formed part of a holistic assessment (i.e., including consideration of risk adjustments impacting STVR), to

ensure a proportionate collective impact for the NFR matters contributing to the additional capital overlay (Section 6). This

would result in a total 2025 LTVR award (awarded at the start of the 2025 financial year) at 95% of full opportunity (90% of full

opportunity for the CRO, whose LTVR is delivered wholly in restricted rights).

The restricted rights component of LTVR was subject to a pre grant assessment by the Board (outcomes are summarised below); and

will be subject to a pre vest assessment by the Board of non-financial measures at the end of the four-year performance period to

determine whether the restricted rights should vest in full.

CEO – Summary of 2023 and 2024 total remuneration

56Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report

6.1 Board considerations of

consequences for material

risk, audit and conduct events

Considerations regarding accountability

and consequences for our most senior

executives are considered and determined

by the People & Culture Committee and

Board, including the application of malus

and clawback (Section 4.5) for the CEO

and Disclosed Executives.

When determining consequences,

consideration is given to the level of

accountability, and the severity of the

issue, including customer impacts.

Consequences may include, for example,

one or more of the following: counselling,

formal warnings, impacts to in year

performance and remuneration outcomes

or application of malus to previously

deferred remuneration and ultimately

termination of employment or clawback

for the most serious issues.

As part of our standard process, reports

on the most material risk, audit and

conduct issues are presented to the

People & Culture, Risk and Audit

Committees at a joint meeting. This

information is considered by the Board

when considering the performance

of the Group, the ANZIP variable

remuneration pool for all employees and

in determining the performance and

remuneration outcomes of the CEO

and Disclosed Executives.

6.2 Additional Board

governance and oversight

regarding the Markets and

non-financial risk matters

in 2024

Further to consideration of material risk,

audit and conduct events, the Board put

in place in 2024 additional governance to

ensure it is well placed to determine

accountability consequences on issues

associated with the various Markets

matters. As part of the additional

governance, the Board also considered

ANZ’s NFR framework, particularly the

additional $250m capital overlay issued

by APRA.

In reviewing these matters, and to ensure

the application of fair and proportionate

consequences that are based on clearly

established evidence and facts, the Board:

• appointed its own independent legal

advisors to review material resulting

from three external reviews, and an

independent Markets expert to ensure

Board independence and that FAR

obligations had been met;

• established a sub-committee

consisting of the Board Chair and three

Board directors with experience in

Markets trading;

• spent considerable time deliberating

remuneration outcomes for the CEO

and Disclosed Executives taking into

consideration the findings from the

accountability reviews, and the fact that

the Executive Committee have collective

accountability for the performance of

the bank; and

• sought independent advice in relation

to the application of the remuneration

consequences for the CEO and

Disclosed Executives.

The Board views that relevant Executive

Committee members should bear

appropriate accountability for actions

and outcomes that took place within

their area of control or influence,

irrespective of whether they themselves

were personally involved or were

otherwise at fault, by virtue of their role

and seniority. Similarly, with respect to

the NFR matters, the Board considered

it appropriate to hold the Executive

Committee collectively accountable.

The Board has determined for the

CEO and Disclosed Executives, that the

deferred remuneration available in

November/December 2024, should vest

in full (subject to performance hurdles).

However, as investigations into the matters

above are ongoing, the Board view that

there is sufficient deferred remuneration

on-foot (Section 9.3), to apply downward

adjustment should further information

come to light that justifies the application

of additional consequences.

6.3 Summary of consequences applied to the CEO and Disclosed Executives
The following summarises how consequences related to the Markets and NFR matters have been considered overall for the CEO

and Disclosed Executives (DEs), both in terms of ANZ’s performance and remuneration framework and the additional Board

governance put in place to address these issues in 2024.

Summary of 2024 Consequence Approach and Outcomes

Note, no malus or clawback was applied to the remuneration of the CEO and Disclosed Executives during 2024.

While the 2024 Remuneration Report focuses on consequences for the CEO and Disclosed Executives, the Board has and will

continue to provide oversight (as appropriate), of consequence considerations for other current and former employees should there

be findings of accountability regarding the Markets matters.

6.4 Role of the Enterprise Accountability Group

The Enterprise Accountability Group (EAG) is the governance mechanism for the operation of the Accountability and Consequence

Framework (A&CF), and reviews accountability and consequences for employees below the CEO and ExCo/Disclosed Executives.

The EAG is chaired by the CEO and members include the CRO, CFO and GE T&C. It operates under the delegated authority of

the People & Culture Committee, considering Accountability questions under FAR and accountability in its broader sense, and is

responsible for:

• supporting the Board in monitoring the implementation and ongoing effectiveness of ANZ’s A&CF;

• reviewing the most material risk, conduct and audit events for accountability and the application of consequences,

where appropriate;

• providing guidance to the Divisions and considering initiatives across the Divisions to strengthen risk behaviours;

• acknowledging material positive risk events and recognising risk role models, whose achievements are profiled across the

organisation; and

• approving the release or application of downward adjustment for deferred variable remuneration (noting that for the CEO and

Disclosed Executives this is approved by the Board).

The EAG has processes in place to ensure that we mitigate the risk of conflicts of interest in reviewing events and determining

accountability and consequences. For example, when undertaking accountability reviews, a recommendation regarding the review

leader and scope must be sent to the CRO (or in the case of an event involving Group Risk to the CEO), for review and approval to

ensure the individual is capable of undertaking an impartial and unbiased review.

While the 2024 Remuneration Report focuses on consequences for the CEO and Disclosed Executives, the Board has and will

continue to provide oversight (as appropriate), of consequence considerations for other current and former employees should there

be findings of accountability regarding the Markets matters.

6.4 Role of the Enterprise Accountability Group

The Enterprise Accountability Group (EAG) is the governance mechanism for the operation of the Accountability and Consequence

Framework (A&CF), and reviews accountability and consequences for employees below the CEO and ExCo/Disclosed Executives.

The EAG is chaired by the CEO and members include the CRO, CFO and GE T&C. It operates under the delegated authority of

the People & Culture Committee, considering Accountability questions under FAR and accountability in its broader sense, and is

responsible for:

• supporting the Board in monitoring the implementation and ongoing effectiveness of ANZ’s A&CF;

• reviewing the most material risk, conduct and audit events for accountability and the application of consequences,

where appropriate;

• providing guidance to the Divisions and considering initiatives across the Divisions to strengthen risk behaviours;

• acknowledging material positive risk events and recognising risk role models, whose achievements are profiled across the

organisation; and

• approving the release or application of downward adjustment for deferred variable remuneration (noting that for the CEO and

Disclosed Executives this is approved by the Board).

The EAG has processes in place to ensure that we mitigate the risk of conflicts of interest in reviewing events and determining

accountability and consequences. For example, when undertaking accountability reviews, a recommendation regarding the review

leader and scope must be sent to the CRO (or in the case of an event involving Group Risk to the CEO), for review and approval to

ensure the individual is capable of undertaking an impartial and unbiased review.

6.5 Material positive

risk events

The EAG reviews material positive risk

decisions and events – times when our

proactive approach to identifying and

mitigating risk have had a material positive

outcome. Reviewing these examples

provides an opportunity to acknowledge

the importance of these events and share

learnings across the enterprise.

6.6 Risk role models

In 2024, 104 individuals were recognised

by the EAG for role modelling outstanding

risk behaviours through their efforts to

identify, manage and mitigate the

organisation’s risks and contribute to our

strong risk culture. Recognition provided

included a personalised e-mail from the

CEO, local recognition events, and having

their achievement profiled on our intranet

and in internal newsletters.

6.7 Compliance with

Prudential Standard

CPS 511 Remuneration

ANZ’s A&CF is an integral part of our

enterprise approach to meeting the

requirements of APRA’s Prudential

Standard CPS 511 Remuneration.

We introduced clawback provisions for the

CEO and our Disclosed Executives effective

2022, in addition to existing downward

adjustment tools such as in year

adjustment, further deferral and malus.

In 2024, we have continued to raise

employee awareness with respect to

accountability and consequences

through explicit references to the A&CF

(including remuneration consequences) in

employee training and communications

and performance and remuneration

policy documents.

In addition, as part of our annual

performance and remuneration process,

we have provided our People Leaders with

guidance regarding appropriate (and in

1. Results reported are taken from the Q2 and/or Q4 employee engagement surveys, and Risk Culture Survey.

some cases, mandatory) remuneration

consequences for conduct and

performance issues, including insights

from the previous year’s consequences

applied. These activities are part of our

continued focus on consistency in

application of remuneration consequence

across ANZ globally.

6.8 Evolving the Accountability

& Consequence Framework

Our A&CF is designed to support our

customer commitment that when things

go wrong, we fix them and hold

executives, (current and former where we

can), to account where appropriate. We

are also focused on ensuring that we learn

from the cause of the event, mitigate the

risk of future recurrences and continuously

seek to strengthen our risk culture. We

review the effectiveness of the A&CF

every year and implement enhancements

to further strengthen the A&CF based on

regulatory and internal stakeholder input.

6.9 Speak up culture

We continue to raise employee awareness

of, and promote the various ways

employees can speak up and raise issues

and ideas for improvement including

through initiatives such as:

• targeted jurisdiction and business

specific awareness sessions, designed

to build trust in the process and

program and promote speak up

channels;

• digital communications designed to

build confidence and trust in the

Whistleblower Program and process;

and

• the monitoring of responses in our

employee engagement surveys.

Key risk and speak up scores, including

‘My manager (the person I report to)

demonstrates personal accountability for

managing risk and sound risk behaviours

(92%)‘, ‘I can raise issues and concerns

without fear of reprisals’ (77%), ‘In my

team, it feels safe to ask questions, make

mistakes, highlight problems & take social

risks (85%)’ and ‘When I speak up, my

ideas, opinions and concerns are heard’

(81%) remained strong, in keeping with

2023, 2022 and 2021 results.

6.10 Application of

consequences

In 2024, there were 1,400 employee

relations cases involving alleged breaches

of our Code, with 488 resulting in a formal

consequence or the employee leaving

ANZ, down from 501 in 2023. Breaches

ranged from compliance/procedural

breaches (20.7%), through to general

unacceptable behaviour (38.5%), email/

systems misuse (10.5%), attendance

issues (17.4%), fraud/theft (5.5%), conflict

of interest (3.7%) and breaches of our

Equal Opportunity, Bullying and

Harassment Policy (3.7%). Outcomes

following investigations of breaches this

year included 88 terminations, 306

warnings and 94 employees leaving ANZ.

In relation to the application of

consequences to our senior leadership

population (senior executives, executives

and senior managers), 20 current and

former employees (30 in 2023) had a

consequence applied as a result of the

application of our Code of Conduct Policy

and/or findings of accountability for a

relevant event. Consequences included

warnings, impacts on performance and

remuneration outcomes and dismissal.

All employees and contractors across the

enterprise are required to complete

mandatory learning modules. Permanent

employees who fail to complete their

mandatory learning requirements within

30 days of the due date are (in the

absence of genuinely exceptional

circumstances) ineligible for any FR

increase or variable remuneration award

as part of our annual Performance and

Remuneration Review. In 2024, the

mandatory learning course compliance

rate across the enterprise was 99.73%.

7.1 NED Remuneration structure
A review of 2024 NED fees was completed by the People & Culture Committee in September 2023. Following that review of 2024 fees

(as previously disclosed in the 2023 Remuneration Report), the People & Culture Committee approved a 2% increase to the NED

member fee (from $240,000 to $245,000) which has remained unchanged since 2016. The Board Chairman fee remains unchanged.

Following review, the People & Culture Committee also approved the alignment of the fee structure across all Committees increasing

each Committee chair fee to $68,000, and each Committee member fee to $34,000. This fee review considered increased complexity

in the regulatory environment, uplifts for ANZ’s broader employee population, and the external market.

The fee structure is applicable to NEDs of ANZGHL and ANZBGL. Fees prior to the implementation of the Non-Operating Holding

Company (NOHC) structure related to membership of the ANZBGL Board, and post implementation are viewed as a single fee covering

both Boards (i.e., membership of ANZGHL and ANZBGL Boards/Committees). Currently the fee structure applies irrespective of whether

NEDs serve on one or more Boards.

NEDs receive a fee for being a Director of the Board, and additional fees for either chairing, or being a member of a Board Committee.

The Chairman of the Board does not receive additional fees for serving on a Board Committee.

In setting Board and Committee fees, the following are considered: general industry practice, ASX Corporate Governance Principles and

Recommendations, the responsibilities and risks attached to the NED role, the time commitment expected of NEDs on Group and

Company matters, and fees paid to NEDs of comparable companies.

ANZ compares NED fees to a comparator group of Australian listed companies with a similar market capitalisation, with particular focus

on the major financial services institutions. This is considered an appropriate group, given similarity in size and complexity, nature of

work and time commitment by NEDs.

To maintain NED independence and impartiality:

• NED fees are not linked to the performance of the Group; and

• NEDs are not eligible to participate in any of the Group’s variable remuneration arrangements.

The current aggregate fee pool for NEDs of $4m was approved by shareholders at the 2012 AGM. The annual total of NEDs’ fees,

including superannuation contributions, is within this agreed limit.

8.1 The People &
Culture Committee

8.1.1 Role of the People &

Culture Committee

The Board is ultimately responsible for and

oversees ANZ Group’s Performance and

Remuneration Framework (P&R

Framework) and its effective application

throughout the ANZ Group. The People &

Culture Committee’s role is to assist the

Board in its oversight of the effective

operation of P&R Framework and other

T&C matters. It has been delegated

authority to act as the remuneration

committee for ANZBGL.

During the year the People & Culture

Committee met on six occasions and

reviewed and approved, or made

recommendations to the Board on

matters including:

• remuneration for the CEO and other key

executives (broader than those

disclosed in the Remuneration Report)

in accordance with ANZ’s Board level

P&R Policies, and fees for the NEDs;

• matters related to P&R Framework

compliance with APRA’s Prudential

Standard CPS 511 Remuneration, and

updates on Treasury’s Financial

Accountability Regime (FAR);

• the ANZ Group Scorecard (annual

objectives setting and assessment) and

annual variable remuneration spend;

• performance and reward outcomes for

key senior executives, including the

consideration of material events that

have either occurred or came to light in

the year;

• the release, further deferral or

application of malus of deferred

remuneration or clawback;

• key senior executive appointments

and terminations;

• the review of ANZ’s Board level P&R

Policies, and the Accountability &

Consequence Framework (A&CF);

• building capabilities required to

deliver on our strategy;

• succession plans for key senior

executives; and

• culture, diversity and inclusion,

employee engagement, and how

we work.

8.1.2 Link between

remuneration and risk

The People & Culture Committee has a

strong focus on the relationship between

business performance, risk management

and remuneration, aligned with our

business strategy. The chairs of the Risk

and Audit Committees and the full Board

(ANZGHL and ANZBGL) are in attendance

for specific People & Culture Committee

meetings. A joint meeting of the People &

Culture, Risk and Audit Committees was

held to review:

• material risk, conduct and audit

events that either occurred or came

to light in 2024;

• 2024 performance and variable

remuneration recommendations at

both the Group, CEO and Disclosed

Executive level.

To further reflect the importance of the

link between remuneration and risk:

• the Board had three NEDs (in addition to

the Chairman) in 2024 who served on

both the People & Culture Committee

and the Risk Committee;

• the People & Culture Committee has

free and unfettered access to risk and

financial control personnel (the CRO

and CFO attend People & Culture

Committee meetings for specific

agenda items);

• the CRO (together with GE T&C and

GGM IA) provides an independent

report to the People & Culture

Committee on the most material risk,

conduct and audit events (as relevant)

to help inform considerations of

performance and remuneration, and

accountability and consequences at the

Group, Divisional and individual level;

• the CRO also provides an independent

report to assist the Board in their

assessment of performance and

remuneration outcomes for the CEO

and Disclosed Executives;

• the chairs of the Risk and Audit

Committees are asked to provide input

to ensure appropriate consideration of

all relevant risk and internal audit issues;

• the ANZ Group Scorecard and Divisional

Scorecards include Risk as a key

element acting as a modifier, and it

forms an integral part of each

framework’s assessment and directly

impacts the overall outcomes; and

• the LTVR restricted rights pre grant and

pre vest assessments undertaken by

the Board are primarily based on

non-financial risk outcomes.

8.1.3 Conflict of interest

To help mitigate potential conflicts of

interest:

• management are not in attendance

when their own performance or

remuneration is being discussed by the

People & Culture Committee or Board;

• the CEO’s STVR is funded and

determined separately from the ANZIP

variable remuneration pool;

• the CRO’s remuneration arrangements

differ to other Disclosed Executives to

preserve the independence of the role;

• the EAG also has processes in place to

help mitigate conflicts of interest as

outlined in Section 6; and

• the People & Culture Committee seeks

input from a number of sources to

inform their consideration of

performance and remuneration

outcomes for the CEO and Disclosed

Executives including:

–independent reports from Risk,

Finance, Talent and Culture, and

Internal Audit;

–material risk, conduct and audit event

data provided by the CRO;

– input from both the Audit Committee

and the Risk Committee of the Board.

8.2 Internal governance

62Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report

8.1.4 External advisors provided information but not recommendations

The People & Culture Committee can engage independent external advisors as needed.

Throughout the year, the People & Culture Committee and management received information from the following external advisors:

Ashurst, Deloitte, EY, Guerdon Associates, PayIQ Executive Pay and PricewaterhouseCoopers. This information related to market data,

market practices, analysis and modelling, legislative requirements and the interpretation of governance and regulatory requirements.

During the year, ANZ did not receive any remuneration recommendations from external advisors about the remuneration of KMP.

ANZ employs in-house remuneration professionals who provide recommendations to the People & Culture Committee and the Board.

The Board made its decisions independently, using the information provided and with careful regard to ANZ’s key strategic priorities,

purpose and values, risk appetite, and the ANZ Group P&R Framework, ANZ’s Board level P&R Policies and ANZ’s Reward Principles.

8.2 Internal governance

8.2.1 Hedging prohibition

All deferred equity must remain at risk until it has fully vested. Accordingly, executives and their associated persons must not enter into

any schemes that specifically protect the unvested value of equity allocated. If they do so, then they would forfeit the relevant equity.

8.2.2 CEO and Disclosed Executives’ shareholding guidelines

We expect the CEO and each Disclosed Executive to, over a five-year period:

• accumulate ANZ shares to the value of 200% of their FR; and

• maintain this shareholding level while they are an executive of ANZ.

Executives are permitted to sell ANZ securities to meet taxation obligations on employee equity even if below the 200% guideline.

However, tax obligations for the purpose of these guidelines is limited to that arising from the initial taxing point event (i.e., when the

deferred shares vest or rights are exercised).

Shareholdings include all vested and unvested equity (excluding performance rights). Based on equity holdings as at 30 September

2024, the CEO and all Disclosed Executives meet or, if less than five years’ tenure, are on track to meet their minimum shareholding

guidelines requirements.

8.2.3 CEO and Disclosed Executives’ contract terms and equity treatment

The details of the contract terms and the equity treatment on termination (in accordance with the Conditions of Grant) relating to the

CEO and Disclosed Executives are below. Although they are similar, they vary in some cases to suit different circumstances.

Type of contractPermanent ongoing employment contract.

Notice on resignation• 12 months by CEO;

• 6 months by Disclosed Executives.

1

Notice on termination

by ANZ

2

• 12 months by ANZ for CEO and Disclosed Executives.

3

However, ANZ may immediately terminate an individual’s employment at any time in the case of serious

misconduct. In that case, the individual will be entitled only to payment of FR up to the date of their

termination and their statutory entitlements.

How unvested equity is

treated on leaving ANZ

Executives who resign or are terminated will forfeit all their unvested deferred equity – unless the Board

determines otherwise.

If an executive is terminated due to redundancy or they are classified as a ‘good leaver’, unless the

Board determines otherwise, then:

• their STVR (deferred shares/share rights) remain on foot and are released at the original vesting date;

• their LTVR (restricted rights/performance rights) (for grants awarded from 31 December 2020) remain

on foot and are released at the original vesting date (to the extent that the performance hurdles are

met); and

• their performance rights

4

(for grants awarded pre 31 December 2020) are pro-rated for service to

the full notice termination date and released at the original vesting date (to the extent that the

performance hurdles are met).

On an executive’s death or total and permanent disablement, their deferred equity vests.

Unvested equity remains subject to malus post termination.

Change of control

(applies to the CEO only)

If a change of control or other similar event occurs, then we will test the performance conditions

applying to the CEO’s LTVR (restricted rights/performance rights). They will vest to the extent that the

performance conditions are satisfied.

1. 3 months by the former Acting GE T&C. 2. For M Carnegie, E Clements, K Corbally, F Faruqui, G Florian, C Morgan, A Strong, M Whelan and R Howell, their contracts state that in

particular circumstances they may be eligible for a retrenchment benefit in accordance with the relevant ANZ policy, as varied from time to time. For A Watson, notice on retrenchment

is 6 weeks and compensation on retrenchment is calculated on a scale up to a maximum of 79 weeks after 25 years’ service. 3. 6 months by ANZ for the former Acting GE T&C. 4. Or

9.1 LTVR Remuneration detail
1

The award of restricted rights ensures that LTVR provides material weight to non-financial measures (as required under APRA’s

Prudential Standard CPS 511 Remuneration), as well as supporting long-term alignment with shareholders.

Having a risk-based focus reflects the intent of the Prudential Standard CPS 511 Remuneration in ensuring remuneration arrangements

appropriately incentivise individuals to prudently manage risks. The performance conditions are designed to ensure there is focus on

both material risk events and building a strong risk culture over the longer term.

The following table details design features common to both LTVR restricted rights and performance rights.

Below details the LTVR approach that applied to the 2024 LTVR award granted in November/December 2023.

LTVR elementDetail

DescriptionRestricted rights and performance rights provide a right to acquire one ordinary ANZ share at nil cost –

as long as applicable time and performance conditions are met. Their future value may range from zero to

an indeterminate value. The value depends on performance against the applicable performance condition

and on the share price at the time of exercise.

Performance periodBoth restricted rights and performance rights have a four-year performance period commencing from

1 October and ending four years later on 30 September (e.g., 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2027 for

the 2024 grant), noting that LTVR is awarded at the start of the financial year (rather than the end).

A four-year performance period provides sufficient time for longer term performance to be reflected.

Deferral periodsThe deferral period is the sum of the four-year performance period and the applicable holding period.

The holding period commences the day after the end of the four-year performance period (e.g., 1 October

2027 in the case of the 2024 LTVR award), and finishes on the 4th, 5th or 6th anniversary of grants.

Exercise periodRights can only be exercised at the end of the relevant deferral period (4, 5 or 6 years) when the rights vest

and become exercisable.

There is a two-year exercise period which commences at the end of the relevant deferral period for restricted

rights and performance rights.

ExpensingANZ engages PricewaterhouseCoopers to independently determine the fair value of restricted rights and

performance rights, which is only used for expensing for accounting purposes. They consider factors including:

the market performance conditions, share price volatility, life of the instrument, dividend yield, and share price

at grant date.

DividendsA dividend equivalent payment (DEP) is paid in cash at the end of the relevant deferral period, but is only made

to the extent that all or part of the underlying rights meet the relevant performance condition and vest to the

individual. Dividend equivalent payments accrue over the full deferral period for restricted rights, and only

during the holding period for performance rights.

Allocation basisThe value the Board uses to determine the number of restricted rights and performance rights to be allocated

to the CEO and Disclosed Executives is the face value of ANZGHL shares traded on the ASX in the five trading

days leading up to and including 1 October (beginning of the financial year and LTVR performance period).

LTVR is awarded around the start of the financial year in late November for Disclosed Executives and

December for the CEO (subject to shareholder approval).

Satisfying vestingOn vesting, the Board may determine to settle the relevant restricted rights and/or performance rights with

a cash equivalent payment, rather than with shares.

Restricted rights

pre grant and pre

vest assessments

Pre grant assessment purpose: Determines whether any reduction should be made to restricted rights award

value and is primarily based on outcomes in the prior financial year.

Pre vest assessment purpose: Determines whether the restricted rights amount awarded should vest in full

and is based on outcomes over the four-year performance period.

The pre grant and pre vest assessments also take into consideration any adjustments already applied for the

same event/outcomes in either the current or prior years (i.e., adjustments to STVR and LTVR, malus and

clawback), to ensure the overall impact is fair and proportionate to the severity of the outcome. Therefore,

given other remuneration adjustments are likely to be considered first, and as the award of restricted rights is

future focused, it is anticipated that restricted rights will be allocated at full value in most years – unless the

outcome of the following three assessment steps determines otherwise.

Step 1

Assess Prudential soundness

Step 2

Assess risk measures

Step 3

Apply Board discretion

• Nil award if ANZ does not

meet capital ratio and

liquidity prudential

minimums.

• Consideration of any Material

Risk Outcomes from executive

actions or inactions which are

expected to/or have resulted in

significant impacts.

• Consideration of any significant

adverse change in APRA’s

Active Supervision level.

• Consideration of Risk Culture

(additional measure for pre vest)

that examines whether or not

ANZ has maintained (or made

progress towards) a sound risk

culture, considering both

executive actions or inactions.

• Board to determine whether any

reduction should be made to LTVR

restricted rights outcome based on

consideration of a range of factors,

including:

–the outcomes from steps 1 and

2;

–the impact, if any, of the issue/s

on ANZ’s reputation/standing in

the market;

–whether the issue was specific to

ANZ, the banking industry or the

broader market;

–any impacts already applied (e.g.,

regarding downward adjustment

mechanisms, pre grant

assessment impact to LTVR

restricted rights);

–whether any impact should be

made on an individual or

collective basis.

The assessments are not intended to be formulaic given the circumstances requiring the application of Board

discretion will typically be different or unique, however a Board decision making framework is in place to guide

the Board in applying discretion.

Material risk

outcomes process

The consideration of material risk outcomes is a key process that forms part of our broader Accountability and

Consequence Framework (A&CF) (Section 6), and is a comprehensive bottom-up process designed to ensure

that all relevant events are surfaced and considered appropriately. Key steps include:

• Risk, conduct and audit events are reported in ANZ’s Compliance & Operational Risk System.

• Divisional Accountability Groups review serious risk, conduct and audit events, and provide

recommendations regarding accountability and consequences, where appropriate.

• Enterprise Accountability Group (EAG) reviews recommendations of the Divisional Accountability Groups and

make final determination (with some exceptions where local Board approval is required or for material risk

takers and other non-administrative direct reports to the CEO, where Board approval is required).

• People & Culture Committee reviews the most serious risk, conduct and audit events (as part of independent

report from CRO) and determines impacts at the Group, Division and individual level for the CEO and ExCo.

9.1.2 2024 LTVR performance rights further details – CEO and Disclosed Executives excluding the CRO
1

LTVR elementPerformance condition detail

Performance rights

hurdles

The performance rights have TSR performance hurdles reflecting the importance of focusing on achieving

longer term strategic objectives and aligning executives’ and shareholders’ interests. There are two TSR

performance hurdles for the 2024 grants of performance rights:

• 75% will be measured against a relative TSR hurdle.

• 25% will be measured against an absolute TSR hurdle.

TSR represents the change in value of a share plus the value of reinvested dividends paid. We regard it as the

most appropriate long-term measure – it focuses on the delivery of shareholder value and is a well understood

and tested mechanism to measure performance. The combination of relative and absolute TSR hurdles

provides balance to the plan by:

• Relative: rewarding executives for performance that exceeds that of comparator companies; and

• Absolute: ensuring there is a continued focus on providing positive growth – even when the market

is declining.

The two hurdles measure separate aspects of performance:

• the relative TSR hurdle measures our TSR compared to that of the Select Financial Services (SFS) comparator

group, made up of core local and global competitors. This comparator group is chosen to broadly reflect the

geographies and business segments in which ANZ competes for revenue; and

• the absolute Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) TSR hurdle provides executives with a more direct line

of sight to the level of shareholder return to be achieved. It also provides a tighter correlation between the

executives’ rewards and the shareholders’ financial outcomes.

We will measure ANZ’s TSR against each hurdle at the end of the four-year performance period to determine

whether any performance rights become exercisable. We measure relative and absolute TSR hurdles

independently from the other – for example one may vest fully or partially but the other may not vest.

Relative TSR hurdle

for performance

rights

The relative TSR hurdle is an external hurdle that measures our TSR against that of the SFS comparator group

over four years.

As previously disclosed in the 2023 Remuneration Report, in July 2023 for LTVR awards of performance rights

from financial year 2024 onwards, the Board approved for DBS Bank Limited to be removed from the

comparator group (noting that this change does not apply to prior awards currently on foot). This change

reflects the need to better balance the weighting of international peers in our comparator group to more

appropriately reflect the change in capital allocated to Asia compared to when international comparators were

originally included in 2015 (as part of the super regional strategy at that time).

In July 2023, the Board approved the removal of Suncorp Group Limited from the comparator group, post the

Suncorp Bank acquisition. This change applies to both prior awards currently on foot and future LTVR awards

of performance rights (i.e., from financial year 2025).

When considering an appropriate cohort of peers for benchmarking TSR performance, the Board take into

consideration organisations with a similar scope of activities, common geographical focus, broadly comparable

risk compliance and regulatory profiles, and relative stability and transparency across market cycles. The SFS

comparator group for the 2024 LTVR performance rights is made up of: Bank of Queensland Limited; Bendigo

and Adelaide Bank Limited; Commonwealth Bank of Australia Limited; Macquarie Group Limited; National

Australia Bank Limited; Standard Chartered PLC; and Westpac Banking Corporation.

LTVR elementPerformance condition detail
Absolute TSR hurdle

for performance

rights

The absolute CAGR TSR hurdle is an internal hurdle focused on ANZ achieving or exceeding a threshold level of

growth that is set by the Board at the start of the performance period. The Board reviews and approves the

absolute CAGR TSR targets for each performance rights award. When determining the targets, the Board

references ANZ’s assessed Cost of Capital (CoC).

As previously disclosed in the 2023 Remuneration Report, in October 2023 the Board approved an update to

ANZ’s absolute CAGR TSR model for LTVR awards of performance rights from financial year 2024 onwards, to

reflect a dynamic (rather than static) target for CoC (noting that this change does not apply to prior awards

currently on foot). The TSR hurdle is now based on the time weighted CoC over the four-year performance

period. Therefore, the CAGR TSR target will be adjusted on a time weighted basis unless the Board applies

discretion not to adjust.

Any CoC changes approved by the Board throughout the performance period are prospective only (i.e., reflect

current market factors) and will form part of the dynamic CAGR TSR target calculation. This approach further

strengthens executive and shareholder alignment as the target is more responsive to future changes in both

the interest rate cycle and ANZ’s risk profile.

The level of performance required for each level of vesting, and the percentage of performance rights that vest

at each level of performance, is based on the time weighted CoC over the four-year performance period. The

Board will review and approve any changes to the CoC on a quarterly basis throughout the performance

period, based on the output from the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) methodology (which takes into

consideration the risk-free bond rate, the market risk premium and the beta – i.e., the volatility of ANZ’s

historical share price relative to the market). The Board will also approve the level of vesting (if any) at the end of

the performance period based on the time weighted CoC.

The Board retains discretion to adjust the absolute CAGR TSR hurdle in exceptional circumstances to ensure

that executives are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by matters outside management’s control that

materially affect achievement of the absolute CAGR TSR performance condition.

Calculating TSR

performance

When calculating performance against TSR, we:

• reduce the impact of share price volatility – by using an averaging calculation over a 90-trading day period

for start and end values;

• ensure an independent measurement – by engaging the services of an external organisation, to calculate

ANZ’s performance against both the absolute and relative TSR hurdles; and

• test the performance against the relevant hurdle once only at the end of the four-year performance period

– the rights lapse if the performance hurdle is not met – there is no retesting.

1. Based on the CoC at the start of the performance period, the CAGR TSR threshold was 9.75% and the full vesting level was based on a CAGR TSR of 14.63%; however this may be

subject to change based on the time weighted CoC over the performance period unless the Board exercises discretion to set it otherwise.

1. Cash salary includes any adjustments required to reflect the use of ANZ’s Lifestyle Leave Policy for the period in the KMP role. 2. Non monetary benefits generally consist of

company-funded benefits (and the associated Fringe Benefits Tax) such as car parking, taxation services and costs met by the Company in relation to relocation/accommodation.

3. The total cash incentive relates to the cash component of STVR only. The relevant amortisation of the STVR deferred components is included in share-based payments and has been

amortised over the vesting period. The total STVR was approved by the ANZBGL and ANZGHL Boards in October 2024, and in addition for A Watson by the ANZ NZ Board in October

2024. 100% of the cash component of the STVR awarded for the 2023 and 2024 years vested to the executive in the applicable financial year. 4. Other cash and other equity

allocations (C Morgan) relate to the employment arrangements of deferred variable remuneration forfeited and bonus opportunity forgone as a result of joining ANZ. 5. For Australian

based executives, the 2023 and 2024 superannuation contributions reflect the Superannuation Guarantee Contribution based on the Maximum Contribution Base. A Watson

participates in KiwiSaver where ANZ provides an employer superannuation contribution matching member contributions up to 4% of total gross pay. KiwiSaver employer superannuation

contributions are also contributed on top of cash STVR at the time of payment. 6. For Australian based executives, long service leave accrued takes into consideration the impact of

changes to the Superannuation Guarantee percentage. Year-on-year fluctuations in long service leave accrued relate to the impact of historical fixed remuneration increases on the

accrual as calculated at the end of each financial year.

9.2 2024 Statutory remuneration – CEO and Disclosed Executives
The following table outlines the statutory remuneration disclosed in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. While it shows

the FR awarded (cash and superannuation contributions) and also the cash component of the 2024 variable remuneration award, it

does not show the actual variable remuneration awarded or received in 2024 (Sections 5.1.2, 5.2.1, 5.3 and 5.4), but instead shows

the amortised accounting value for this financial year of deferred remuneration (including prior year awards).

7. As required by AASB 2 Share-based payments, the amortisation value includes a proportion of the fair value (taking into account market-related vesting conditions) of all equity that

had not yet fully vested as at the commencement of the financial year. The fair value is determined at grant date and is allocated on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period.

The amount included as remuneration neither relates to, nor indicates, the benefit (if any) that the executive may ultimately realise if the equity becomes exercisable. No terms of

share-based payments have been altered or modified during the financial year. There were no cash settled share-based payments or any other form of share-based payment

compensation during the financial year for the CEO or Disclosed Executives. 8. Other equity allocations (A Watson) relate to shares received in relation to the historical Employee Share

Offer which provided a grant of ANZ shares in each financial year to eligible employees subject to Board approval. 9. 2024 fixed remuneration reflects increases applied from 1 October

2023 to maintain or improve market positioning (M Carnegie, K Corbally, F Faruqui, G Florian, C Morgan, A Strong, A Watson, M Whelan). 10. Remuneration based on time as a

Disclosed Executive in either 2023 (C Morgan, A Strong, R Howell) or 2024 (E Clements, R Howell). 11. Paid in NZD and converted to AUD.

9.3 Equity holdings

For the equity granted to the CEO and Disclosed Executives in November/December 2023, all deferred shares were purchased on the

market. For deferred share rights, which vested to Disclosed Executives in November 2023, where the rights were not able to be satisfied

through the reallocation of previously forfeited shares they were satisfied through the on market purchase of shares.

72Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report

1. For the purpose of the five highest paid executive disclosures, Executives are defined as Disclosed Executives or other members of the ExCo. For the 2024 financial year the five highest

paid executives include five Disclosed Executives. Rights granted to Disclosed Executives as remuneration in 2024 are included in the table. No rights have been granted to the CEO,

Disclosed Executives or the five highest paid executives since the end of 2024 up to the Directors’ Report sign-off date. 2. The point in time value of deferred shares/deferred share rights

and/or restricted rights/performance rights is based on the one day VWAP of the Company’s shares traded on the ASX on the date of vesting, lapsing/forfeiture or exercising/sale/transfer

out of trust, multiplied by the number of deferred shares/deferred share rights and/or restricted rights/performance rights. The exercise price for all deferred share rights/restricted rights/

performance rights is $0.00. No terms or conditions of grant of the share-based payment transactions have been altered or modified during the reporting period. 3. The number vested

and exercisable is the number of shares, options and rights that remain vested at the end of the reporting period. No shares, options and rights were vested and unexercisable.

Directors’ report



The Directors’ Report for the financial year

ended 30 September 2024 has been

prepared in accordance with the

requirements of the Corporations Act

2001. The information below forms part of

this Directors’ Report:

• Principal activities on page 8;

• Operating and financial review on

pages 20 to 32;

• Dividends on page 32;

• Information on the Directors on

pages 10 to 13;

Remuneration report on pages 34 to 75


Acquisition of Suncorp Bank

On 31 July 2024, the Group acquired

100% of the shares in SBGH Limited, the

immediate holding company of Suncorp

Bank. Suncorp Bank provides banking and

related services to retail, commercial, small

and medium enterprises and agribusiness

customers in Australia. The transaction

was undertaken to accelerate the growth

of the Group’s retail and commercial

businesses while also improving the

geographic balance of its business in

Australia.


Significant changes in state

of affairs

There have been no other significant

changes in the Group’s state of affairs

other than Acquisition of Suncorp Bank, as

described above.


Events since the end of the

financial year

Other than matters outlined in the

Financial Report, there have been no

significant events from 30 September

2024 to the date of signing this report.


Participation in political party

activities

We aim to assist the democratic process

in Australia by attending and participating

in paid events hosted by the major federal

political parties. For the year ended

30 September 2024, we contributed

$115,000 to participate in political

activities hosted by the Australian Labor

Party, the Liberal Party of Australia and the

National Party of Australia. These activities

included speeches, political functions and

conferences, and policy dialogue forums.

We disclose these contributions to the

Australian Electoral Commission (AEC),

noting the AEC’s reporting year is a

different period to the Group’s financial

year.


Modern slavery reporting

The Group is subject to Australia's Modern

Slavery Act Australian Commonwealth

Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) and United

Kingdom's Modern Slavery Act 2015.

Our Modern Slavery Statement (when

released) will set out actions taken to

identify, assess and manage modern

slavery risks in our operations and supply

chain during the 2024 financial year.

Our 2024 Modern Slavery Statement will

be available at anz.com/esgreport prior to

our Annual General Meeting.


Environmental regulation

We recognise the expectations of our

stakeholders – customers, shareholders,

staff, regulators and the community – to

operate in a way that mitigates our

environmental impact.

In Australia, we meet the requirements of

the National Greenhouse and Energy

Reporting Act 2007 (Cth), which imposes

reporting obligations where energy

production, usage or greenhouse gas

emissions trigger specified thresholds.

We do not believe that our operations are

subject to any other particular and

significant environmental regulation under

a law of the Commonwealth of Australia or

of an Australian State or Territory. We may

become subject to environmental

regulation as a

result of our lending activities in the

ordinary course of business and have

developed policies, which are reviewed on

a regular basis, to help identify and

manage such environmental matters and

regulations.

Further details of our environmental

performance, including progress against

our targets and management of ESG

material issues are available in the ESG

Supplement, ESG Data and Framework

Pack and our Climate-related financial

disclosures, at anz.com/annualreport.


External auditor

The Group’s external auditor is KPMG. The

ANZ Group appointed Peat, Marwick,

Mitchell & Co (predecessor to KPMG) in

1969.

The Board Audit Committee conducts a

formal annual performance assessment of

the external auditor, including whether to

commence an external tender for the audit.

After considering relevant factors including

tenure, audit quality, local and international

capability and experience, and

independence, the Board Audit Committee

resolved to reappoint KPMG for the

30 September 2025 financial year audit.

KPMG regularly rotates the Group Lead

Audit Engagement Partner and the

Engagement Quality Control Review

Partner with the most recent rotation being

for the financial years ended

30 September 2023 and 30 September

2020, respectively.


Non-audit services

Our Stakeholder Engagement Model for

Relationship with the External Auditor (the

Policy), which incorporates requirements

of the Corporations Act 2001 and industry

best practice, prevents the external auditor

from providing services that are perceived

to be in conflict with the role of the external

auditor or breach independence

requirements. This includes consulting

advice and sub- contracting of operational

activities normally undertaken by

management, and engagements where

the external auditor may ultimately be

required to express an opinion on its own

work.

76Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report

Our Performance (continued)
8

Specifically, the Policy:

• limits the scope of non-audit services

that may be provided;

• requires that audit, audit-related and

permitted non-audit services be

considered in light of independence

requirements and for any potential

conflicts of interest before they are

approved by the Audit Committee, or

approved by the Chair of the Audit

Committee (or delegate) and notified to

the Audit Committee; and

• requires pre-approval before the

external auditor can commence any

engagement for the Group.

Further details about the Policy can be

found in ANZGHL’s Corporate Governance

Statement.

The external auditor has confirmed to the

Audit Committee that it has:

• implemented procedures to

ensure it complies with

independence rules in applicable

jurisdictions; and

• complied with applicable policies and

regulations in those jurisdictions

regarding the provision of non-audit

services, and the Policy.

The Audit Committee has reviewed the

non-audit services provided by the

external auditor during the 2024

financial year, and has confirmed that

the provision of these services is

consistent with the Policy, compatible

with the general standard of

independence for auditors imposed

by the Corporations Act 2001 and did not

compromise the auditor independence

requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

This has been formally advised by the Audit

Committee to the Board of Directors.

The categories of non-audit services

supplied to the Group during the year

ended 30 September 2024 by the

external auditor, KPMG, or by another

person or firm on KPMG’s behalf, and the

amounts paid or payable (including GST)

by the Group are as follows:

Further details on the compensation paid

to KPMG are provided in Note 33 Auditor

Fees to the financial statements including

details of audit-related services provided

during the year of $6.79 million (2023:

$5.82 million).

For the reasons set out above, the

Directors are satisfied that the provision of

non-audit services by the external auditor

during the year ended 30 September

2024 is compatible with the general

standard of independence for external

auditors imposed by the Corporations Act

2001 and did not compromise the auditor

independence requirements of the

Corporations Act 2001.


Directors’ and Officers’

Indemnity


ANZBGL’s Constitution (Rule 9.1) permits

ANZBGL to:

• Indemnify any officer or employee of

ANZBGL or any of its related bodies

corporate, or its auditor, against

liabilities (so far as may be permitted

under applicable law) incurred as such

an officer, employee or auditor to a

person (other than ANZBGL or a related

body corporate), including liabilities

incurred as a result of appointment or

nomination by ANZBGL or a related

body corporate as a trustee or as an

officer or employee of another

corporation; and

• Make payments in respect of legal

costs incurred by an officer or

employee or auditor in defending an

action for a liability incurred as such an

officer, employee or auditor, or in

resisting or responding to actions taken

by a government agency, a duly

constituted Royal Commission or other

official inquiry, a liquidator, administrator,

trustee in bankruptcy or other

authorised official.

Our policy is that our employees should be

protected from any liability they incur as a

result of acting in the course of their

employment, subject to appropriate

conditions.

Under the policy, we will indemnify

employees and former employees

against any liability they incur to any third

party as a result of acting in good faith in

the course of their employment and this

extends to liability incurred as a result of

their appointment/nomination by or at

the request of the ANZ Group as an

officer or employee of another

corporation or body or as a trustee.

The indemnity is subject to applicable

law and certain exceptions.

ANZBGL has entered into Indemnity Deeds

with each of its Directors, with certain

secretaries and former Directors of

ANZBGL, and with certain employees and

other individuals who act as directors or

officers of related bodies corporate or of

another company, to indemnify them

against liabilities and legal costs of the kind

mentioned in ANZBGL’s Constitution.

During the 2024 financial year, we have

paid premiums for insurance for the

benefit of the Directors and employees

of the Group. In accordance with

common commercial practice, the

insurance prohibits disclosure of the

nature of the liability insured against and

the amount of the premium.

1. About our financial statements

General information

These are the consolidated financial statements for ANZBGL (the Company) and its controlled entities (together, the Group or Consolidated Entity) for the

year ended 30 September 2024. The Company is a publicly listed company incorporated and domiciled in Australia with debt listed on securities

exchanges. The Company is a subsidiary of ANZGHL and is regulated by APRA as an ADI. The address of the Company’s registered office and its principal

place of business is ANZ Centre, 833 Collins Street, Docklands, Victoria, Australia 3008. The Group provides banking and financial services to individuals

and business customers and operates in and across 29 markets.

On 7 November 2024, the Directors resolved to authorise the issue of these financial statements. Information in the financial statements is included only

to the extent we consider it material and relevant to the understanding of the financial statements. A disclosure is considered material and relevant if, for

example:



the amount is significant in size (quantitative factor);



the information is significant by nature (qualitative factor);



the user cannot understand the Group’s results without the specific disclosure (qualitative factor);



the information is critical to a user’s understanding of the impact of significant changes in the Group’s business during the period - for example,

business acquisitions or disposals (qualitative factor);



the information relates to an aspect of the Group’s operations that is important to its future performance (qualitative factor); and



the information is required under legislative requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, the Banking Act 1959 (Cth) or by the Group’s principal

regulators, including the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA).

This section of the financial statements:



outlines the basis upon which the Group’s financial statements have been prepared; and



discusses any new accounting standards or regulations that directly impact the financial statements.

Basis of preparation

This financial report is a general purpose (Tier 1) financial report prepared by a ‘for profit’ entity, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards

(AASs) and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), the Corporations Act 2001, and International

Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

We present the financial statements of the Group in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. We measure the

financial statements of each entity in the Group using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates (the functional

currency). We have rounded values to the nearest million dollars ($m), unless otherwise stated, as permitted under the ASIC Corporations (Rounding in

Financial/Directors Report) Instrument 2016/191.

Certain comparative amounts have been restated to conform with the basis of preparation in the current year.

Basis of measurement and presentation

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the historical cost basis - except the following assets and liabilities which we have stated

at their fair value:



derivative financial instruments and in the case of fair value hedging, a fair value adjustment made to the underlying hedged item;



financial instruments held for trading;



financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); and



financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

In accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits we have measured defined benefit obligations using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries. An entity, including a

structured entity, is considered a subsidiary of the Group when we determine that the Company has control over the entity. Control exists when the Group

is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the

entity. We assess power by examining existing rights that give the Company the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the entity. We have

eliminated, on consolidation, the effect of all transactions between entities in the Group.

1. About our financial statements (continued)

Foreign currency translation

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the relevant functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. At the

reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the relevant spot rate. Any

foreign currency translation gains or losses that arise are included in profit or loss in the period they arise.

We measure translation differences on non-monetary items classified as FVTPL and report them as part of the fair value gain or loss on these items. For

non-monetary items classified as investment securities measured at FVOCI, translation differences are included in other comprehensive income.

Financial statements of foreign operations that have a functional currency that is not Australian dollars

The financial statements of our foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars for consolidation into the Group financial statements using the

following method:

Foreign currency item Exchange rate used

Assets and liabilities The reporting date rate

Equity The initial investment date rate

Income and expenses The average rate for the period – but for a significant transaction if we believe the average rate is not reasonable,

then we use the rate at the date of the transaction

Exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements of foreign operations are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve in

equity. When we dispose of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences are transferred to profit or loss.

Fiduciary activities

The Group provides fiduciary services to third parties including custody, nominee and trustee services. This involves the Group holding assets on behalf of

third parties and making decisions regarding the purchase and sale of financial instruments. If the Group is not the beneficial owner or does not control the

assets, then we do not recognise these transactions in these financial statements, except when required by accounting standards or another legislative

requirement.




In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made a number of judgements and applied estimates and

assumptions about past and future events. Further information on the key judgements and estimates that we consider material to the financial

statements are contained within each relevant note to the financial statements.

The global economy continues to face challenges associated with inflation and interest rate uncertainties, continuing trade and geopolitical

tensions, and impacts from climate change, which contribute to an elevated level of estimation uncertainty involved in the preparation of these

financial statements.

The Group is exposed to climate risk either directly through its operations or indirectly, for example, through lending to customers. Climate risk

may also be a driver of other risks within our risk management framework. Our most material climate risks arise from lending to business and

retail customers, which contributes to credit risk.

The Group has made various accounting estimates in this Financial Report based on forecasts of economic conditions which reflect

expectations and assumptions at 30 September 2024 about future events considered reasonable in the circumstances. Thus, there is a

considerable degree of judgement involved in preparing these estimates. Actual economic conditions are likely to be different from those

forecast since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected, and the effect of these differences may significantly impact accounting

estimates included in these financial statements. The significant accounting estimates impacted by these forecasts and associated

uncertainties are predominantly related to expected credit losses and recoverable amounts of non-financial assets.

The impact of these uncertainties on each of these accounting estimates is discussed in the relevant notes in this Financial Report, along with

assumptions and judgements made in relation to other key estimates. Readers should consider these disclosures in light of the inherent

uncertainties described above.

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report

1. About our financial statements (continued)

Accounting standards adopted in the period

Accounting policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.

AASB 17 Insurance Contracts

On 1 October 2023, the Group adopted AASB 17 Insurance Contracts (AASB 17) which established principles for the recognition, measurement,

presentation, and disclosure of insurance contracts, and replaced AASB 4 Insurance Contracts and AASB 1023 General Insurance Contracts. Although

the overall profit recognised in respect of insurance contracts will not change over the life of contracts, the timing of revenue recognition will change.

The Group applied AASB 17 effective from 1 October 2022 and restated prior period comparative information. This resulted in a decrease in opening

retained earnings of $37 million on 1 October 2022, an increase in profit after tax (2023: $8 million), an increase in total assets (2023: $22 million), and an

increase in total liabilities (2023: $51 million) in the Australia Retail division. These adjustments were primarily driven by the impact of changes in the

pattern of recognition of revenue on insurance contracts issued, changes in the pattern of recognition of the net cost of reinsurance and the valuation of

profit commissions on reinsurance contracts held.

Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

AASB 2021-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction amends

AASB 112 Income Taxes. It clarifies that entities are required to recognise deferred tax on transactions for which there is both an asset and a liability and

that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences which may apply to leases and decommissioning or restoration obligations. This

amendment was effective for the Group from 1 October 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Group.

International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules

The Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development published the Pillar Two Model Rules in December 2021 which are designed to ensure

large multinational enterprises pay a minimum level of tax of 15% in each of the jurisdictions where they operate. A number of countries in which the

Group operates have implemented or announced the proposed implementation of the Pillar Two rules including Australia.

As at 30 September 2024, Pillar Two draft legislation has been released in Australia but is not yet enacted or substantially enacted. The Australian Pillar

Two rules, if enacted, will be effective for the Group from 1 October 2024.

In anticipation of the legislation being enacted, the AASB issued AASB 2023-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – International Tax Return

– Pillar Two Model Rules in June 2023. The Group has applied the mandatory exemption included in para.4A of this standard and has not recognised or

disclosed any associated deferred taxes.

The Group has assessed the potential impact of the Pillar Two legislation. Based on this analysis as at the reporting date and having regard to the

historical and reasonably estimable data, the Group is not expected to have a material Pillar Two tax exposure.

Accounting standards not early adopted

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been published but are not mandatory for the financial statements for

the year ended 30 September 2024 and have not been applied by the Group in preparing these financial statements. Further details of these are set out

below.

AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In June 2024, the AASB issued AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (AASB 18) which updates and replaces requirements for the

presentation and disclosure of information in financial statements. AASB 18 introduces new defined subtotals to be presented in the consolidated Income

Statement, disclosure of management-defined performance measures and requirements for grouping of information. This standard will be effective for

the financial year beginning 1 October 2027. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

Classification and measurement amendments to AASB 9 Financial Instruments

In July 2024, the AASB issued AASB 2024-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments

which amends requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system and assessing contractual cash flow characteristics

of financial assets with environmental, social and corporate governance and similar features. The amendments will be effective for the financial year

beginning 1 October 2026. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting the amendments.

Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

AASB 2022-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback amends AASB 16 Leases and specifies the

accounting for variable lease payments by seller-lessees in sale and leaseback transactions. The amendment is effective from 1 October 2024 and will

not have a material impact on the Group.

Interest income and expense


We recognise interest income and expense in net interest income for all financial instruments, including those classified as held for trading,

assets measured at FVOCI, and assets and liabilities designated at FVTPL. We use the effective interest rate method to calculate the amortised

cost of assets held at amortised cost and to recognise interest income on financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI. The effective

interest rate is the rate that discounts the stream of estimated future cash receipts or payments over the expected life of the financial instrument

or, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. For assets subject to prepayment, we

determine their expected life on the basis of historical behaviour of the particular asset portfolio taking into account contractual obligations and

prepayment experience.

We recognise fees and costs, which form an integral part of the financial instrument (for example loan origination fees and costs), using the

effective interest rate method. These are presented as part of interest income or expense depending on whether the underlying financial

instrument is a financial asset or financial liability.

Major Bank Levy

The Major Bank Levy Act 2017 (levy or major bank levy) applies a rate of 0.06% to certain liabilities of ANZBGL. The levy represents a finance

cost, and it is presented as interest expense in the Income Statement.

Other operating income

Fee and commission revenue

We recognise fee and commission revenue arising from contracts with customers (a) over time when the performance obligation is satisfied

across more than one reporting period, or (b) at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied immediately or is satisfied within

one reporting period.



lending fees exclude fees treated as part of the effective yield calculation of interest income. Lending fees include certain guarantee and

commitment fees where the loan or guarantee is not likely to be drawn upon, and other fees charged for providing customers a distinct

good or service that are recognised separately from the underlying lending product.



non-lending fees include fees associated with deposit and credit card accounts, interchange fees and fees charged for specific customer

transactions such as international transaction fees. Where the Group provides multiple goods or services to a customer under the same

contract, the Group allocates the transaction price of the contract to distinct performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone

selling price of each performance obligation. Revenue is recognised as each performance obligation is satisfied.



commissions represent fees from third parties where we act as an agent by arranging a third party (such as an insurance provider) to

provide goods and services to a customer. In such cases, we are not primarily responsible for providing the underlying good or service to

the customer. If the Group collects funds on behalf of a third party when acting as an agent, we only recognise the net commission

retained as revenue. When the commission is variable based on factors outside our control (such as a trail commission), revenue is only

recognised if it is highly probable that a significant reversal of the variable amount will not be required in future periods.



funds management income represents fees earned from customers for providing financial advice and asset management services.

Revenue is recognised either at the point the financial advice is provided or over the period in which the asset management services are

delivered. Performance fees associated with funds management activities are only recognised when it becomes highly probable the

performance hurdle will be achieved.

Net foreign exchange earnings and other financial instruments income

We recognise the following as net foreign exchange earnings and other financial instruments income:



exchange rate differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and translation differences on monetary items translated at rates

different to those at which they were initially recognised or included in a previous financial report;



fair value movements (excluding realised and accrued interest) on derivatives not designated as accounting hedges that we use to manage

interest rate and foreign exchange risk on funding instruments;



the ineffective portions of fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and net investment hedges;



immediately upon sale or repayment of a hedged item, the unamortised fair value adjustments to items designated as fair value hedges

and amounts accumulated in equity related to designated cash flow hedges;



fair value movements on financial assets and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL or held for trading;



amounts released from the FVOCI reserve when a debt instrument classified as FVOCI is sold; and



the gain or loss on derecognition of financial assets or liabilities measured at amortised cost

.

Gain or loss on disposal of non-financial assets

The gain or loss on the disposal of assets is the difference between the carrying value of the asset and the proceeds of disposal net of costs.

This is recognised in Other income in the year in which control of the asset transfers to the buyer.

Share of associates’ profit/(loss)

The equity method is applied to accounting for associates. Under the equity method, our share of the after tax results of associates is included

in the Income Statement and the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

4. Operating expenses (continued)


Operating expenses

Operating expenses are recognised as services are provided to the Group, over the period in which an asset is consumed, or once a liability is

created.

Salaries and related costs - annual leave, long service leave and other employee benefits

Wages and salaries, annual leave and other employee entitlements expected to be paid or settled within twelve months of employees

rendering service are measured at their nominal amounts using remuneration rates that the Group expects to pay when the liabilities are

settled.

We accrue employee entitlements relating to long service leave using an actuarial calculation. It includes assumptions regarding staff

departures, leave utilisation and future salary increases. The result is then discounted using market yields at the reporting date. The market

yields are determined from a blended rate of high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity that closely match the estimated future cash

outflows.

If we expect to pay short term cash bonuses, then a liability is recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay

this amount (as a result of past service provided by the employee) and the obligation can be reliably measured.

Personnel expenses also include share-based payments which may be cash or equity settled. We calculate the fair value of equity settled

remuneration at grant date, which is then amortised over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in share capital or the share option

reserve as applicable. When we estimate the fair value, we take into account market vesting conditions, such as share price performance

conditions. We take non-market vesting conditions, such as service conditions, into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments

included in the expense.

After the grant of an equity-based award, the amount we recognise as an expense is reversed when non-market vesting conditions are not

met, for example an employee fails to satisfy the minimum service period specified in the award due to resignation, termination or notice of

dismissal for serious misconduct. However, we do not reverse the expense if the award does not vest due to the failure to meet a market-

based performance condition.

Further information on share-based payment schemes operated by the Group during the current and prior year is included in Note 30

Employee share and option plans.

5. Income tax (continued)

Tax consolidation

The Company and all its wholly owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. ANZGHL is the head

entity of the tax-consolidated group. We recognise each of the following in the separate financial statements of members of the tax consolidated group

on a ‘group allocation’ basis: tax expense/income, and deferred tax liabilities/assets that arise from temporary differences for members of the tax-

consolidated group. ANZGHL (as head entity of the tax-consolidated group) recognises current tax liabilities and assets of the tax-consolidated group.

Under a tax funding arrangement between the entities in the tax-consolidated group, amounts are recognised as payable to or receivable by each

member of the tax-consolidated group in relation to the tax contribution amounts paid or payable between members of the tax-consolidated group and

the head entity ANZGHL.

Members of the tax-consolidated group have also entered into a tax sharing agreement that provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities between

the entities were the head entity to default on its income tax payment obligations

.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets and liabilities

Unrecognised deferred tax assets related to unused realised tax losses (on revenue account) total $10 million (2023: $1 million) for the Group and nil

(2023: nil) for the Company.

Unrecognised deferred tax liabilities related to additional potential foreign tax costs (assuming all retained earnings in offshore branches and subsidiaries

are repatriated) total $251 million (2023: $286 million) for the Group and $27 million (2023: $30 million) for the Company.


Income tax expense

Income tax expense comprises both current and deferred taxes and is based on the accounting profit adjusted for differences in the

accounting and tax treatments of income and expenses (that is, taxable income). We recognise tax expense in profit or loss except when the

tax relates to items recognised directly in equity and other comprehensive income, in which case we recognise the tax directly in equity or

other comprehensive income respectively.

Current tax expense

Current tax is the tax we expect to pay on taxable income for the year, based on tax rates (and tax laws) which are enacted at the reporting

date. We recognise current tax as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

We account for deferred tax using the balance sheet method. Deferred tax arises because the accounting income is not always the same as

the taxable income. This creates temporary differences, which usually reverse over time. Until they reverse, we recognise a deferred tax asset,

or liability, on the balance sheet. We measure deferred taxes at the tax rates that we expect will apply to the period(s) when the asset is

realised, or the liability settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

We offset current and

deferred tax assets and liabilities only to the extent that:

 they relate to income taxes imposed by the same taxation authority;

 there is a legal right and intention to settle on a net basis; and


it is allowed under the tax law

of the relevant jurisdiction.





Judgement is required in determining provisions held in respect of uncertain tax positions. The Group estimates its tax liabilities based on its

understanding of the relevant law in each of the countries in which it operates and seeks independent advice where appropriate.

made on senior capital instruments) in the financial year to which they relate; or

 the Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio falls within capital range buffers specified by APRA.

If the Company fails to pay a dividend or distribution on its ANZ Capital Notes or ANZ Capital Securities on the scheduled payment date, it may (subject to

a number of exceptions) be restricted from resolving to pay or paying any dividend on the Company’s ordinary shares.

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report

7. Segment reporting

Description of segments

The Group’s operating segments are presented on a basis that is consistent with the information provided internally to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO),

who is the chief operating decision maker. This reflects the way the Group’s businesses are managed, rather than the legal structure of the Group.

We measure the performance of operating segments on a cash profit basis. To calculate cash profit, we exclude items from profit after tax attributable to

shareholders. For 2024 and 2023, the adjustments relate to impacts of economic hedges and revenue and expense hedges which represent timing

differences that will reverse through earnings in the future. Transactions between divisions across segments within the Group are conducted on an arm’s-

length basis and where relevant disclosed as part of the income and expenses of these segments.

On 31 July 2024, the Group acquired 100% of the shares in SBGH Limited, the immediate holding company of Suncorp Bank. Suncorp Bank provides

banking and related services to retail, commercial, small and medium enterprises and agribusiness customers in Australia. The transaction was undertaken

to accelerate the growth of the Group’s retail and commercial businesses while also improving the geographic balance of its business in Australia. The

2024 reported results include 2 months results for Suncorp Bank from the date of acquisition, presented as Suncorp Bank division below.

The presentation of divisional results has been impacted by the following changes during the period:

 Accounting standards adoption - the Group adopted AASB 17 Insurance Contracts (AASB 17) on 1 October 2023. Although the overall profit

recognised in respect of insurance contracts will not change over the life of contracts, the timing of revenue recognition will change. The Group applied

AASB 17 effective from 1 October 2022 and restated prior period comparative information. This resulted in a decrease in opening retained earnings of

$37 million on 1 October 2022, a $8 million increase in profit after tax, a $22 million increase in total assets, and a $51 million increase in total liabilities

in the Australia Retail division.

 Divisional results presentation - prior period divisional comparative information was restated to reflect a number of cost reallocations across the

divisions.

The reportable segments are divisions engaged in providing either different products or services or similar products and services in different geographical

areas. They are as follows:

Australia Retail

The Australia Retail division provides a full range of banking services to Australian consumers. This includes Home Loans, Deposits, Credit Cards and

Personal Loans. Products and services are provided via the branch network, home loan specialists, contact centres, a variety of self-service channels

Australia Commercial

The Australia Commercial division provides a full range of banking products and financial services, including asset financing, across the following customer

segments: SME Banking (small business owners and medium commercial customers), and Diversified & Specialist Businesses (large commercial

customers, and high net worth individuals and family groups).

Institutional

The Institutional division services global institutional and corporate customers, and governments across Australia, New Zealand and International (including

Papua New Guinea (PNG)) via the following business units:

 Corporate Finance provides customers with loan products, loan syndication, specialised loan structuring and execution, project and export finance,

relationship banking and sophisticated financial solutions through dedicated managers. These cover privately owned small, medium and large

enterprises, the agricultural business segment, government and government-related entities.

Suncorp Bank

The Suncorp Bank division provides banking and related services to retail, commercial, small and medium enterprises and agribusiness customers in

Australia.

Financial assets

Outlined below is a description of how we classify and measure financial assets as they apply to the note disclosures that follow.

Financial assets - general


There are three measurement classifications for financial assets under AASB 9 Financial Instruments (AASB 9): amortised cost, FVTPL and

FVOCI. Financial assets are classified into these measurement classifications on the basis of two criteria:



the business model within which the financial asset is managed; and



the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset (specifically whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of

principal and interest).

The resultant financial asset classifications are as follows:



Amortised cost: Financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise solely payments of principal and interest and which are held in a

business model whose objective is to collect their cash flows;



FVOCI: Financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise solely payments of principal and interest and which are held in a business

model whose objective is to collect their cash flows or to sell the assets; and



FVTPL: Any other financial assets not falling into the categories above are measured at FVTPL.

Fair value option for financial assets

A financial asset may be irrevocably designated on initial recognition:



at FVTPL when the designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise; or



at FVOCI for investments in equity securities, where that instrument is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognised by

an acquirer in a business combination.



8. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and other balances, as outlined below, that are convertible into cash with an insignificant risk of

changes in value and with remaining maturities of three months or less, including reverse repurchase agreements.

Trading assets include commodity inventories measured at fair value less cost to sell in accordance with the broker trader exemption under

AASB 102 Inventories.

We recognise purchases and sales of trading assets on trade date:



Initially, we measure them at fair value; and



Subsequently, we measure them in the Balance Sheet at their fair value with any change in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

Assets disclosed as Trading assets are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for Financial Assets outlined at the

commencement of the Group’s financial assets disclosures on page 102.

Judgement is required when applying the valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of trading assets not valued using quoted

market prices. Refer to Note 18 Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities for further details.

257 (210) 340 (255)

Derivative financial instruments 57,627 (57,467) 59,989 (57,511)

Features

Derivative financial instruments are contracts:



Whose value is derived from an underlying price index (or other variable) defined in the contract - sometimes the value is derived from more than one

variable;



That require little or no initial net investment; and



That are settled at a future date.

Movements in the price of the underlying variables, which cause the value of the contract to fluctuate, are reflected in the fair value of the derivative.

Purpose

The Group’s derivative financial instruments have been categorised as follows:

Trading Derivatives held in order to:



meet customer needs for managing their own risks.



manage risks in the Group that are not in a designated hedge accounting relationship (some elements of balance

sheet management).



undertake market making and positioning activities to generate profits from short-term fluctuations in prices or margins.

Designated in Hedging

Relationships

Derivatives designated into hedge accounting relationships in order to minimise profit or loss volatility by matching

movements in underlying positions relating to:



hedges of the Group’s exposures to interest rate risk and currency risk.



hedges of other exposures relating to non-trading positions.

Types

The Group offers or uses four different types of derivative financial instruments:

Forwards A contract documenting the rate of interest, or the currency exchange rate, to be paid or received on a notional principal

amount at a future date.

Futures An exchange traded contract in which the parties agree to buy or sell an asset in the future for a price agreed on the

transaction date, with a net settlement in cash paid on the future date without physical delivery of the asset.

Swaps A contract in which two parties exchange one series of cash flows for another.

Options A contract in which the buyer of the contract has the right - but not the obligation - to buy (known as a ‘call option’) or to

sell (known as a ‘put option’) an asset or instrument at a set price on a future date. The seller has the corresponding

obligation to fulfil the transaction to sell or buy the asset or instrument if the buyer exercises the option.

10. Derivative financial instruments (continued)

Risks managed

The Group offers and uses the instruments described above to manage fluctuations in the following:

Foreign Exchange Currencies at current or determined rates of exchange.

Interest Rate Fixed or variable interest rates applying to money lent, deposited or borrowed.

Commodity Soft commodities (that is, agricultural products such as wheat, coffee, cocoa and sugar) and hard commodities (that is,

mined products such as gold, oil and gas).

Credit Risk of default by customers or third parties.

The Group uses a number of central clearing counterparties and exchanges to settle derivative transactions. Different arrangements for posting of

collateral exist with these exchanges:



some transactions are subject to clearing arrangements which result in separate recognition of collateral assets and liabilities, with the carrying values

of the associated derivative assets and liabilities held at their fair value.



other transactions, are legally settled by the payment or receipt of collateral which reduces the carrying values of the related derivative instruments by

the amount paid or received.

Derivative financial instruments – held for trading

The majority of the Group’s derivative financial instruments are held for trading. The fair value of derivative financial instruments held for trading is:

Features

Derivative financial instruments are contracts:



Whose value is derived from an underlying price index (or other variable) defined in the contract - sometimes the value is derived from more than one

variable;



That require little or no initial net investment; and



That are settled at a future date.

Movements in the price of the underlying variables, which cause the value of the contract to fluctuate, are reflected in the fair value of the derivative.

Purpose

The Group’s derivative financial instruments have been categorised as follows:

Trading Derivatives held in order to:



meet customer needs for managing their own risks.



manage risks in the Group that are not in a designated hedge accounting relationship (some elements of balance

sheet management).



undertake market making and positioning activities to generate profits from short-term fluctuations in prices or margins.

Designated in Hedging

Relationships

Derivatives designated into hedge accounting relationships in order to minimise profit or loss volatility by matching

movements in underlying positions relating to:



hedges of the Group’s exposures to interest rate risk and currency risk.



hedges of other exposures relating to non-trading positions.

Types

The Group offers or uses four different types of derivative financial instruments:

Forwards A contract documenting the rate of interest, or the currency exchange rate, to be paid or received on a notional principal

amount at a future date.

Futures An exchange traded contract in which the parties agree to buy or sell an asset in the future for a price agreed on the

transaction date, with a net settlement in cash paid on the future date without physical delivery of the asset.

Swaps A contract in which two parties exchange one series of cash flows for another.

Options A contract in which the buyer of the contract has the right - but not the obligation - to buy (known as a ‘call option’) or to

sell (known as a ‘put option’) an asset or instrument at a set price on a future date. The seller has the corresponding

obligation to fulfil the transaction to sell or buy the asset or instrument if the buyer exercises the option.
