NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

GENERAL INFORMATION

These are the consolidated financial statements for ANZBGL New Zealand for the year ended 30 September 2024. The Ultimate Parent Bank is

incorporated in Australia and is also registered in New Zealand (NZ Branch). The NZ Branch is domiciled in New Zealand, and the address of the NZ

Branch's registered office and its principal place of business is Level 10, 171 Featherston Street, Wellington, New Zealand.

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 ANZBGL New Zealand’s results without the specific disclosure (qualitative factor);

• the information is critical to a user’s understanding of the impact of significant changes in ANZBGL New Zealand’s business during the period –

for example, business acquisitions or disposals (qualitative factor);

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

• the information is required under legislative or other regulatory requirements.

This section of the financial statements:

• outlines the basis upon which ANZBGL New Zealand’s financial statements have been prepared; and

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

BASIS OF PREPARATION

These financial statements are general purpose (Tier 1) financial statements prepared by a ‘for profit’ entity, in accordance with the requirements of

the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. These financial statements comply with:

• New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP), as defined in the Financial Reporting Act 2013;

• New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as

appropriate for publicly accountable for-profit entities; and

• International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

We present the financial statements of ANZBGL New Zealand in New Zealand dollars, which is ANZBGL New Zealand’s functional and presentation

currency. We have rounded values to the nearest million dollars (NZ$m), unless otherwise stated.

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

BASIS OF MEASUREMENT AND PRESENTATION

We have prepared the financial information in accordance with the historical cost basis - except for the following assets and liabilities which we have

stated at their fair values:

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

• 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).

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements of ANZBGL New Zealand comprise the financial statements of the NZ Branch and all of the New Zealand

businesses of all the subsidiaries of the Ultimate Parent Bank. An entity, including a structured entity, is considered a subsidiary of ANZBGL New

Zealand when we determine that ANZBGL New Zealand has control over the entity. Control exists when ANZBGL New Zealand 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 ANZBGL New Zealand the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the entity. We have

eliminated, on consolidation, the effect of all transactions between entities in ANZBGL New Zealand.

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.

FIDUCIARY ACTIVITIES

ANZBGL New Zealand provides fiduciary services to third parties including custody, nominee and trustee services. This involves ANZBGL New Zealand

holding assets on behalf of third parties and making decisions regarding the purchase and sale of financial instruments. If ANZBGL New Zealand 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

In the process of applying ANZBGL New Zealand’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.

ANZBGL New Zealand 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.

ANZBGL New Zealand has made various accounting estimates in these financial statements 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 further in the relevant notes of these financial

statements, 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.


ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED IN THE PERIOD

Accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise noted.

DEFERRED TAX RELATED TO ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARISING FROM A SINGLE TRANSACTION

Amendments to New Zealand Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction amends NZ IAS

12

Income Taxes (NZ IAS 12). 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 ANZBGL New Zealand from 1 October 2023 and did not have a material impact on ANZBGL New

Zealand.

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 ANZ Group operates have implemented or announced the proposed implementation of the Pillar Two rules including New Zealand.

Pillar Two legislation was enacted in New Zealand in March 2024 and will be effective for A

NZBGL New Zealand from 1 October 2025.

The External Reporting Board ( XRB) issued International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to NZ IAS 12) in July 2023 to address the

Pillar Two Model rules. ANZBGL New Zealand has applied the mandatory exemption in para 4A of this standard and has not recognised or disclosed

any associated deferred taxes.

ANZBGL New Zealand has assessed the potential impact from the Pillar Two legislation and does not expect a material exposure, if any, once the Pillar

Two legislation becomes effective.

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 ANZBGL New Zealand in preparing these financial statements. Further details of

these are set out below.

NZ IFRS 18

PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In May 2024, the XRB issued NZ IFRS 18

Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (NZ IFRS 18) which updates and replaces requirements for

the presentation and disclosure of information in financial statements. NZ IFRS 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 NZ IFRS 9

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (NZ IFRS 9)

In June 2024, the XRB issued

Amendments to the 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

Amendments to New Zealand Accounting Standards – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback amends NZ IFRS 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 ANZBGL New Zealand.

2. OPERATING INCOME (continued)

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

NET INTEREST INCOME

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.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME

Fee and commission income

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 ANZBGL New Zealand provides multiple goods or services to a customer under the

same contract, ANZBGL New Zealand 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 ANZBGL New Zealand 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.

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;

• 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 and cash flow 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;

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses are recognised as services are provided to ANZBGL New Zealand, 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 ANZBGL New Zealand 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 government 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 ANZBGL New Zealand 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.

4.INCOME TAX (continued)

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

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 expense 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 substantively 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.

INANCIAL ASSETS

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

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT

Financial assets - general

There are three measurement classifications for financial assets under NZ IFRS 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.

7.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.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Trading securities are financial instruments we either:

• acquire principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term; or

• hold as part of a portfolio we manage for short-term profit making.

We recognise purchases and sales of trading securities 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 securities are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for financial assets outlined on page 17.





KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

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

quoted market prices. Refer to Note 16 F air value of financial assets and financial liabilities for further details.

Derivative financial instruments

10,173 (11,150) 8,747 (8,287)

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

ANZBGL New Zealand’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 ANZBGL New Zealand 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 ANZBGL New Zealand’s exposures to interest rate risk and currency risk.

• hedges of other exposures relating to non-trading positions.

TYPES

ANZBGL New Zealand 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.

RISKS MANAGED

ANZBGL New Zealand offers and uses the instruments described above to manage fluctuations in the following market factors:

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.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

ANZBGL New Zealand uses 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 – DESIGNATED IN HEDGING RELATIONSHIPS

Under the accounting policy choice provided by NZ IFRS 9, ANZBGL New Zealand has continued to apply the hedge accounting requirements of NZ

IAS 39

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (NZ IAS 39).

ANZBGL New Zealand uses two types of hedge accounting relationships:

Fair value hedge Cash flow hedge

Objective of this

hedging

arrangement

To hedge our exposure to changes to the fair value of a

recognised asset or liability or unrecognised firm

commitment caused by interest rate or foreign currency

movements.

To hedge our exposure to variability in cash flows of a

recognised asset or liability, a firm commitment or a

highly probable forecast transaction caused by interest

rate, foreign currency and other price movements.

Recognition of

effective hedge

portion

The following are recognised in profit or loss at the same

time:

• all changes in the fair value of the underlying item

relating to the hedged risk; and

• the change in the fair value of the derivatives.

We recognise the effective portion of changes in the fair

value of derivatives designated as a cash flow hedge in

the cash flow hedge reserve.

Recognition of ineffective

hedge portion

Recognised immediately in other operating income.

If a hedging instrument

expires, or is sold,

terminated, or exercised;

or no longer qualifies for

hedge accounting

When we recognise the hedged item in profit or loss, we

recognise the related unamortised fair value adjustment

in profit or loss. This may occur over time if the hedged

item is amortised to profit or loss as part of the effective

yield over the period to maturity.

Only when we recognise the hedged item in profit or

loss is the amount previously deferred in the cash flow

hedge reserve transferred to profit or loss.

Hedged item sold or

repaid

We recognise the unamortised fair value adjustment

immediately in profit or loss.

Amounts accumulated in equity are transferred

immediately to profit or loss.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Recognition

Initially and at each reporting date, we recognise all derivatives at fair value. If the fair value of a derivative is

positive, then we carry it as an asset, but if its value is negative, then we carry it as a liability.

Valuation adjustments are integral in determining the fair value of derivatives. This includes:

• a credit valuation adjustment (CVA) to reflect the counterparty risk and/or event of default; and

• a funding valuation adjustment (FVA) to account for funding costs and benefits in the derivatives portfolio.

Derecognition of

assets and liabilities

We remove derivative assets from our balance sheet when the contracts expire or we have transferred

substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. We remove derivative liabilities from our balance sheet

when ANZBGL New Zealand’s contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.

With respect to derivatives cleared through a central clearing counterparty or exchange, derivative assets or

liabilities may be derecognised in accordance with the principle above when collateral is settled, depending on

the legal arrangements in place for each instrument.

Impact on the

income statement

The recognition of gains or losses on derivative financial instruments depends on whether the derivative is held

for trading or is designated into a hedge accounting relationship. For derivative financial instruments held for

trading, gains or losses from changes in the fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

For an instrument designated in a hedge accounting relationship, the recognition of gains or losses depends

on the nature of the item being hedged. Refer to the table on page 20 for details of the recognition approach

applied for each type of hedge accounting relationship.

Sources of hedge accounting ineffectiveness may arise from differences in the interest rate reference rate,

margins, or rate set differences and differences in discounting between the hedged items and the hedging

instruments.

Hedge effectiveness To qualify for hedge accounting under NZ IAS 39, a hedge relationship is expected to be highly effective. A

hedge relationship is highly effective only if the following conditions are met:

• the hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows

attributable to the hedged risk during the period for which the hedge is designated (prospective

effectiveness); and

• the actual results of the hedge are within the range of 80-125% (retrospective effectiveness).

ANZBGL New Zealand monitors hedge effectiveness on a regular basis but at a minimum at each reporting

date.



KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Judgement is required when we select the valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of derivatives, particularly the selection

of valuation inputs that are not readily observable, and the application of valuation adjustments to certain derivatives. Refer to Note 16

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities for further details.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Investment securities are those financial assets in security form (that is, transferable debt or equity instruments) that are not held for trading

purposes. By way of exception, bills of exchange (a form of security/transferable instrument) which are used to facilitate ANZBGL New Zealand’s

customer lending activities are classified as loans and advances (rather than investment securities) to better reflect the substance of the

arrangement.

Equity investments not held for trading purposes may be designated at FVOCI on an instrument by instrument basis. If this election is made, gains or

losses are not reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss on disposal of the investment. However, gains or losses may be

reclassified within equity.

Assets disclosed as investment securities are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for financial assets outlined on page 17.

Additionally, expected credit losses associated with ‘Investment securities - debt securities at FVOCI’ are recognised and measured in accordance

with the accounting policy outlined in Note 12 Allowance for expected credit losses, and the allowance for expected credit loss is recognised in the

FVOCI reserve in equity with a corresponding charge to profit or loss.



KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Judgement is required when we select valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of assets not valued using quoted market

prices, particularly the selection of valuation inputs that are not readily observable. Refer to Note 16 Fair value of financial assets and

financial liabilities for further details.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Loans and advances are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are facilities

ANZBGL New Zealand provides directly to customers or through third party channels.

Loans and advances are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the loan or advance, which are

primarily brokerage and other origination costs which we amortise over the estimated life of the loan. Subsequently, we then measure loans and

advances at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, net of any allowance for expected credit losses.

ANZBGL New Zealand enters into transactions in which it transfers financial assets that are recognised on its balance sheet. When ANZBGL New

Zealand retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets remain on ANZBGL New Zealand’s balance

sheet, however if substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred, ANZBGL New Zealand derecognises the asset. If the risks and rewards are

partially retained and control over the asset is lost, then ANZBGL New Zealand derecognises the asset. If control over the asset is not lost, then

ANZBGL New Zealand continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement.

We separately recognise the rights and obligations retained, or created, in the transfer of assets as appropriate.

Assets disclosed as net loans and advances are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for financial assets outlined on page 17.

Additionally, expected credit losses associated with loans and advances at amortised cost are recognised and measured in accordance with the

accounting policy outlined in Note 12 Allowance for expected credit losses.

12.ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES (continued)

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS MODEL

The measurement of expected credit losses reflects an unbiased, probability weighted prediction which evaluates a range of scenarios and

takes into account the time value of money, past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

Expected credit losses are either measured over 12 months or the expected lifetime of the financial asset, depending on credit deterioration

since origination, according to the following three-stage approach:

•Stage 1: At the origination of a financial asset, and where there has not been a Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) since origination,

an allowance for ECL is recognised reflecting the expected credit losses resulting from default events that are possible within the next

12 months from the reporting date. For instruments with a remaining maturity of less than 12 months, expected credit losses are

estimated based on default events that are possible over the remaining time to maturity.

•Stage 2: Where there has been a SICR since origination, an allowance for ECL is recognised reflecting expected credit losses resulting

from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. If credit risk were to improve in a subsequent period

such that the increase in credit risk since origination is no longer considered significant, the exposure returns to a Stage 1 classification

with ECL measured accordingly.

•Stage 3: Where there is objective evidence of impairment, an allowance equivalent to lifetime ECL is recognised.

Expected credit losses are estimated on a collective basis for exposures in Stage 1 and Stage 2, and on either a collective or individual basis

when transferred to Stage 3.


MEASUREMENT OF EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS

ECL is calculated as the product of the following credit risk factors at a facility level, discounted to incorporate the time value of money:

•Probability of default (PD) – the estimate of the likelihood that a borrower will default over a given period;

•Exposure at default (EAD) – the expected balance sheet exposure at default taking into account repayments of principal and interest,

expected additional drawdowns and accrued interest; and

•Loss given default (LGD) – the expected loss in the event of the borrower defaulting, expressed as a percentage of the facility’s EAD,

taking into account direct and indirect recovery costs.

These credit risk factors are adjusted for current and forward-looking information through the use of macroeconomic variables.

EXPECTED LIFE

When estimating ECL for exposures in Stage 2 and 3, ANZBGL New Zealand considers the expected lifetime over which it is exposed to credit

risk.

For non-retail portfolios, ANZBGL New Zealand uses the maximum contractual period as the expected lifetime for non-revolving credit

facilities. For non-retail revolving credit facilities, such as corporate lines of credit, the expected life reflects ANZBGL New Zealand’s contractual

right to withdraw a facility as part of a contractually agreed annual review, after taking into account the applicable notice period.

For retail portfolios, the expected lifetime is determined using a behavioural term, taking into account expected prepayment behaviour and

events that give rise to substantial modifications.

DEFINITION OF DEFAULT, CREDIT IMPAIRED AND WRITE-OFFS

The definition of default used in measuring ECL is aligned to the definition used for internal credit risk management purposes across all

portfolios. This definition is also in line with the regulatory definition of default. Default occurs when there are indicators that a debtor is

unlikely to fully satisfy contractual credit obligations to ANZBGL New Zealand, or the exposure is 90 days past due.

Financial assets, including those that are well secured, are considered credit impaired for financial reporting purposes when they default.

When there is no realistic probability of recovery, loans are written off against the related impairment allowance on completion of ANZBGL

New Zealand’s internal processes and when all reasonably expected recoveries have been collected. In subsequent periods, any recoveries of

amounts previously written-off are recorded as a release to the credit impairment charge in the income statement.

MODIFIED FINANCIAL ASSETS

If the contractual terms of a financial asset are modified or an existing financial asset is replaced with a new one for either credit or commercial

reasons, an assessment is made to determine if the changes to the terms of the existing financial asset are considered substantial. This

assessment considers both changes in cash flows arising from the modified terms as well as changes in the overall instrument risk profile; for

example, changes in the principal (credit limit), term, or type of underlying collateral. Where a modification is considered non-substantial, the

existing financial asset is not derecognised and its date of origination continues to be used to determine SICR. Where a modification is

considered substantial, the existing financial asset is derecognised and a new financial asset is recognised at its fair value on the modification

date, which also becomes the date of origination used to determine SICR for this new asset.

12. ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES (continued)

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN CREDIT RISK (SICR)

Stage 2 assets are those that have experienced a SICR since origination. In determining what constitutes a SICR, ANZBGL New Zealand

considers both qualitative and quantitative information:

i. Internal credit rating grade

For the majority of portfolios, the primary indicator of a SICR is a significant deterioration in the internal credit rating grade of a facility

since origination and is measured by application of thresholds.

For non-retail portfolios, a SICR is determined by comparing the Customer Credit Rating (CCR) applicable to a facility at reporting date to

the CCR at origination of that facility. A CCR is assigned to each borrower which reflects the PD of the borrower and incorporates both

borrower and non-borrower specific information, including forward-looking information. CCRs are subject to review at least annually or

more frequently when an event occurs which could affect the credit risk of the customer.

For retail portfolios, a SICR is determined, depending on the type of facility, by either comparing the scenario weighted lifetime PD at the

reporting date to that at origination, or by reference to customer behavioural score thresholds. The scenario weighted lifetime

probability of default may increase significantly if:

• there has been a deterioration in the economic outlook, or an increase in economic uncertainty; or

• there has been a deterioration in the customer’s overall credit position, or ability to manage their credit obligations.

ii. Backstop criteria

ANZBGL New Zealand uses 30 days past due arrears as a backstop criterion for both non-retail and retail portfolios. For retail portfolios

only, facilities are required to demonstrate three to six months of good payment behaviour prior to being allocated back to Stage 1.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Forward-looking information is incorporated into both our assessment of whether a financial asset has experienced a SICR since origination

and in our estimate of ECL. In applying forward-looking information for estimating ECL, ANZBGL New Zealand considers four probability-

weighted forecast economic scenarios as follows:

i. Base case scenario

The base case scenario is our view of future macroeconomic conditions. It reflects the same basis of assumptions used by management

for strategic planning and budgeting, and also informs the Banking Group’s Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process which is the

process ANZBGL New Zealand applies in strategic and capital planning over a 3-year time horizon;

ii. Upside and iii. Downside scenarios

The upside and downside scenarios are fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions (that is, they are not based on the

economic conditions prevailing at balance date) and are based on a combination of more optimistic (in the case of the upside) and

pessimistic (in the case of the downside) economic events and uncertainty over long term horizons; and

iv. Severe downside scenario

The severe scenario assumes a deep economic downturn, both domestically and globally. We forecast macroeconomic variables for

such a scenario, reflecting a plausible scenario unfolding over a 5-year period given current economic conditions. These assumptions

have been revised in 2024, reflecting an escalation of geopolitical tensions, persistent inflation, and worsening national budget

positions.

The four scenarios are described in terms of macroeconomic variables used in the PD, LGD and EAD models (collectively the ECL models)

depending on the lending portfolio and country of the borrower. Examples of the macroeconomic variables include unemployment rates,

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rates, residential property price indices, commercial property price indices and consumer price indices.

Probability weighting of each scenario is determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base case

economic scenario, as well as specific portfolio considerations where required.

Where applicable, temporary adjustments may be made to account for situations where known or expected risks have not been adequately

addressed in the modelling process.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Collectively assessed allowance for expected credit losses

In estimating collectively assessed ECL, ANZBGL New Zealand makes judgements and assumptions in relation to:

• the selection of an estimation technique or modelling methodology; and

• the selection of inputs for those models, and the interdependencies between those inputs.

The following table summarises the key judgements and assumptions in relation to the model inputs and the interdependencies between

those inputs, and highlights significant changes during the current period.

The judgements and associated assumptions have been made within the context of the uncertainty as to how various factors might impact

the global economy and reflect historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant, including expectations of future

events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. ANZBGL New Zealand’s ECL estimates are inherently uncertain and, as a

result, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Judgement /

assumption


Description

Considerations for the year ended

30 September 2024

Determining

when a SICR

has occurred or

reversed

In the measurement of ECL, judgement is involved in

determining whether there has been a SICR since

initial recognition of a loan, which would result in it

moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2. This is a key area of

judgement since transition from Stage 1 to Stage 2

increases the ECL from an allowance based on the PD

in the next 12 months, to an allowance for lifetime

ECL. Subsequent decreases in credit risk resulting in

transition from Stage 2 to Stage 1 may similarly result

in significant changes in the ECL allowance.

The setting of precise SICR trigger points requires

judgement which may have a material impact upon

the size of the ECL allowance. ANZBGL New Zealand

monitors the effectiveness of SICR criteria on an

ongoing basis.

The determination of SICR was consistent with prior

periods.

Measuring

both 12-month

and lifetime

ECL

The PD, LGD and EAD factors used in determining ECL

are point-in -time measures reflecting the relevant

forward-looking information determined by

management. Judgement is involved in determining

which forward-looking information is relevant for

particular lending portfolios and for determining each

portfolio’s point-in -time sensitivity.

In addition, judgement is required where behavioural

characteristics are applied in estimating the lifetime of

a facility which is used in measuring ECL.

The PD, LGD and EAD models are subject to ANZBGL

New Zealand’s model risk policy that stipulates

periodic model monitoring and re-validation, and

defines approval procedures and authorities

according to model materiality.

There were no material changes to the policy.


Base case

economic

forecast

ANZBGL New Zealand derives a forward-looking ‘base

case’ economic scenario which reflects our view of

future macroeconomic conditions.

There have been no changes to the types of forward-

looking variables (key economic drivers) used as

model inputs.

As at 30 September 2024, the base case assumptions

have been updated to reflect a moderation in

inflation and an easing in labour market conditions.

The economy is forecast to continue to grow below

trend. Despite increased household disposable

incomes, limited flow-through to household

consumption is forecast.

The expected outcomes of key economic drivers for

the base case scenario at 30 September 2024 are

described below under the heading ‘Base case

economic forecast assumptions’.

Probability weighting of each economic scenario is

determined by management considering the risks

and uncertainties surrounding the base case

economic scenario at each measurement date.

The assigned probability weightings are subject to a

high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore the

actual outcomes may be significantly different to

those projected.

Probability weightings shifted from downside to

upside scenarios during the current period reflecting

increasing confidence in economic recovery with

high-frequency data providing early indication that

the economy is responding to monetary easing.

The probability weightings for current and prior

periods are as detailed in the section below under the

heading on ‘Probability weightings’.

Management

temporary

adjustments

Management temporary adjustments to the ECL

allowance are used in circumstances where it is

judged that our existing inputs, assumptions and

model techniques do not capture all the risk factors

relevant to our lending portfolios. Emerging local or

global macroeconomic, microeconomic or political

events, and natural disasters that are not incorporated

into our current parameters, risk ratings, or forward-

looking information are examples of such

circumstances.

Management have continued to apply adjustments to

accommodate uncertainty associated with higher

inflation and interest rates. Management overlays

have been made for risks particular to mortgages and

commercial lending.

Management temporary adjustments total NZ$73

million (September 2023: NZ$176 million).

Management has considered and concluded no

temporary adjustment is required at 30 September

2024 to the ECL allowance in relation to climate- or

weather-related events during the period.


1 The upside and downside scenarios are fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions (that is, they are not based on the economic conditions prevailing at balance date) and are

based on a combination of more optimistic (in the case of the upside) and pessimistic (in the case of the downside) economic conditions.


Base case economic forecast assumptions

Continuing uncertainties described above increase the risk of the economic forecast resulting in an understatement or overstatement of the

ECL balance.

The economic drivers of the base case economic forecasts, reflective of our view of future macroeconomic conditions, used at 30 September

2024 are set out below. For years following the near term forecasts below, the ECL models apply simplified assumptions for the economic

conditions to calculate lifetime loss.

Probability weightings

Probability weightings for each scenario are determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base case

economic scenario including the uncertainties described above.

The upside scenario weighting has increased to 3.75% (2023: 0.0%), and the downside scenario weighting has decreased to 33.75% (2023:

37.5%).

The assigned probability weightings are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore the actual outcomes may be

significantly different to those projected. ANZBGL New Zealand considers these weightings to provide estimates of the possible loss outcomes

and taking into account short and long term inter-relationships within ANZBGL New Zealand’s credit portfolios. The weightings applied are set

out below:

ECL - Sensitivity analysis

Given current economic uncertainties and the judgement applied to factors used in determining the expected default of borrowers in future

periods, ECL reported by ANZBGL New Zealand should be considered as a best estimate within a range of possible estimates.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Outlined below is a description of how we classify and measure financial liabilities relevant to the note disclosures that follow.

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, or FVTPL when they are held for trading. Additionally, financial liabilities can be designated at FVTPL

where:

•the designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch which would otherwise arise;

•a group of financial liabilities are managed and their performance are evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk

management strategy; or

•the financial liability contains one or more embedded derivatives unless:

a)the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract; or

b)the embedded derivative is closely related to the host financial liability.

Where financial liabilities are designated as measured at fair value, gains or losses relating to changes in the entity’s own credit risk are included in

other comprehensive income, except where doing so would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.

For deposits and other borrowings that:

•are not designated at FVTPL on initial recognition, we measure them at amortised cost and recognise their interest expense using the effective

interest rate method; and

•are managed on a fair value basis, reduce or eliminate an accounting mismatch or contain an embedded derivative, we designate them as

measured at FVTPL.

Refer to Note 16 Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities for further details.

For deposits and other borrowings designated at fair value we recognise the amount of fair value gain or loss attributable to changes in ANZBGL

New Zealand’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income in retained earnings. Any remaining amount of fair value gain or loss we recognise

directly in profit or loss. Once we have recognised an amount in other comprehensive income, we do not later reclassify it to profit or loss.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements represent a liability to repurchase the financial assets that remain on our balance sheet since the risks

and rewards of ownership remain with ANZBGL New Zealand. Over the life of the repurchase agreement, we recognise the difference between the

sale price and the repurchase price and charge it to interest expense in profit or loss.

14. DEBT ISSUANCES

ANZBGL New Zealand uses a variety of funding programmes to issue unsubordinated debt (including senior debt and covered bonds) and

subordinated debt. The difference between unsubordinated debt and subordinated debt is that, in a winding up of the issuer, holders of

unsubordinated debt rank in priority to holders of subordinated debt. Subordinated debt will be repaid only after the repayment of claims of

depositors and other creditors (including holders of unsubordinated debt) of that issuer.

The Bank has guaranteed the payment of interest and principal of covered bonds issued by its subsidiary ANZ New Zealand (Int’l) Limited. This

obligation is guaranteed by ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust Limited (the Covered Bond Guarantor), solely in its capacity as trustee of ANZNZ Covered

Bond Trust (the Covered Bond Trust). The Covered Bond Trust is a member of ANZBGL New Zealand. The Covered Bond Guarantor is not a member of

ANZBGL New Zealand and has no credit ratings applicable to its long term senior unsecured obligations. The covered bonds have been assigned a

long term rating of Aaa and AAA by Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings respectively. Refer to page 50 for the amount of assets of the ANZ

Covered Bond Trust pledged as security for covered bonds.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Debt issuances are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, except where designated at FVTPL. Interest

expense on debt issuances is recognised using the effective interest rate method. Where ANZBGL New Zealand enters into a fair value hedge

accounting relationship, the fair value attributable to the hedged risk is reflected in adjustments to the carrying value of the debt.

Subordinated debt with capital-based conversion features (i.e. Common Equity Capital Trigger Events or Non-Viability Trigger Events) are considered

to contain embedded derivatives that we account for separately at FVTPL. The embedded derivatives arise because the amount of shares issued on

conversion following any of those trigger events is subject to the maximum conversion number, however they have no significant value as of the

reporting date given the remote nature of those trigger events.

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK AND MODEL

INTRODUCTION

The use of financial instruments is fundamental to ANZBGL New Zealand’s business of providing banking and other financial services to our

customers. The associated financial risks (primarily credit, market, and liquidity risks) are a significant portion of ANZBGL New Zealand’s material risks.

This note details ANZBGL New Zealand’s financial risk management policies, processes and quantitative disclosures in relation to the material financial

risks:

Material financial risks Key sections applicable to this risk

Credit risk

The risk of financial loss resulting from:

• a counterparty failing to fulfil its obligations; or

• a decrease in credit quality of a counterparty resulting in a financial loss.

Credit risk incorporates the risks associated with us lending to customers

who could be impacted by climate change, changes to laws, regulations, or

other policies adopted by governments or regulatory authorities. Climate

change impacts include both physical risks (climate- or weather-related

events) and transition risks resulting from the adjustment to a low emissions

economy. Transition risks include resultant changes to laws, regulations and

policies noted above.

• Credit risk overview, management and control responsibilities

• Maximum exposure to credit risk

• Credit quality

• Concentrations of credit risk

• Collateral management

Market risk

The risk to ANZBGL New Zealand’s earnings arising from:

• changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, volatility

and correlations; or

• fluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices.

• Market risk overview, management and control responsibilities

• Measurement of market risk

• Traded and non-traded market risk

• Foreign currency risk – structural exposure

Liquidity and funding risk

The risk that ANZBGL New Zealand is unable to meet its payment

obligations as they fall due, including:

• repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt; or

• ANZBGL New Zealand having insufficient capacity to fund increases in

assets.

• Liquidity risk overview, management and control responsibilities

• Key areas of measurement for liquidity risk

• Liquidity portfolio management

• Funding position

• Residual contractual maturity analysis of ANZBGL New Zealand’s

liabilities

OVERVIEW

AN OVERVIEW OF OUR RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

This overview is provided to aid the users of the financial statements in understanding the context of the financial disclosures required under NZ IFRS

7

Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

The Board is responsible for establishing and overseeing ANZBGL New Zealand’s Risk Management Framework (RMF). The Board has delegated

authority to the Bank’s Board Risk Committee (BRC) to develop and monitor compliance with ANZBGL New Zealand’s risk management policies. The

BRC reports regularly to the Board on its activities.

The Board approves the strategic objectives of ANZBGL New Zealand including:

• the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), which sets out the Board’s expectations regarding the degree of risk that ANZBGL New Zealand is prepared

to accept in pursuit of its strategic objectives and business plan; and

• the Risk Management Strategy (RMS), which describes ANZBGL New Zealand’s strategy for managing risks and the key elements of the RMF that

give effect to this strategy. This includes a description of each material risk, and an overview of how the RMF addresses each risk, with reference

to the relevant policies, standards and procedures. It also includes information on how ANZBGL New Zealand identifies, measures, evaluates,

monitors, reports and controls or mitigates material risks.

ANZBGL New Zealand, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and robust control

environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. At ANZBGL New Zealand, risk is everyone’s responsibility.

ANZBGL New Zealand has an independent risk management function, headed by the Chief Risk Officer who:

• is responsible for overseeing the risk profile and the risk management framework;

• can effectively challenge activities and decisions that materially affect ANZBGL New Zealand’s risk profile; and

• has an independent reporting line to the BRC to enable the appropriate escalation of issues of concern.

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Internal Audit Function

Internal Audit is a function independent of management whose role is to provide the Board and management with an effective and independent

appraisal of the internal controls established by management. Operating under a Board approved Charter, the reporting line for the outcomes of work

conducted by Internal Audit is direct to the Chair of the Audit Committee, with a direct communication line to the Chief Executive Officer and the

external auditor. The Internal Audit Plan is developed using a risk based approach and is reviewed quarterly. The Audit Committee approves the plan.

All audit activities are conducted in accordance with international internal auditing standards, and the results of the activities are reported to the Audit

Committee and management. These results influence the performance assessment of business heads. Furthermore, Internal Audit monitors the

remediation of audit issues and reports the current status of any outstanding audits.

CREDIT RISK

CREDIT RISK OVERVIEW, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES

Granting credit facilities to customers is one of ANZBGL New Zealand’s major sources of income. As this activity is also a principal risk, ANZBGL New

Zealand dedicates considerable resources to its management. ANZBGL New Zealand assumes credit risk in a wide range of lending and other activities

in diverse markets and in many jurisdictions. Credit risks arise from traditional lending to customers as well as from interbank, treasury, trade finance

and capital markets activities.

Our credit risk management framework ensures we apply a consistent approach across ANZBGL New Zealand when we measure, monitor and

manage the credit risk appetite set by the Board. The Board is assisted and advised by the BRC in discharging its duty to oversee credit risk. The BRC:

• approves the credit risk appetite and credit strategies; and

• approves policies and control frameworks for the management of ANZBGL New Zealand’s credit risk.

The BRC delegates responsibility for day-to-day management of credit risk and compliance with credit risk policies to the Bank’s Credit Risk

Management Committee (CRMC).

We quantify credit risk through an internal credit rating system (Master Scale) to ensure consistency across exposure types and to provide a consistent

framework for reporting and analysis. The system uses models and other tools to measure the following for customer exposures:

Probability of Default (PD) Expressed by a Customer Credit Rating (CCR), reflecting ANZBGL New Zealand’s assessment of a

customer’s ability to service and repay debt.

Exposure at Default (EAD) The expected balance sheet exposure at default taking into account repayments of principal and

interest, expected additional drawdowns and accrued interest at the time of default.

Loss Given Default (LGD) Expressed by a Security Indicator (SI) ranging from A to G. The SI is calculated by reference to the

percentage of loan covered by security which ANZBGL New Zealand can realise if a customer defaults.

The A-G scale is supplemented by a range of other SIs which cover such factors as cash cover and

sovereign backing. For retail and some small business lending, we group exposures into large

homogeneous pools, and the LGD is assigned at the pool level.

Our specialist credit risk teams develop and validate ANZBGL New Zealand’s PD and LGD rating models. The outputs from these models drive our day-

to-day credit risk management decisions including origination, pricing, approval levels, regulatory capital adequacy, internal capital allocation, and

credit provisioning.

All customers with whom ANZBGL New Zealand has a credit relationship are assigned a CCR at origination via either of the following assessment

approaches:

Large and more complex lending Retail and some small business lending

Rating models provide a consistent and structured assessment, with

judgement required around the use of out-of-model factors. We

handle credit approval on a dual approval basis, jointly with the

business writer and an independent credit officer.

Automated assessment of credit applications using a combination of

scoring (application and behavioural), policy rules and external credit

reporting information. If the application does not meet the automated

assessment criteria, then it is subject to manual assessment.

15.FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

We use ANZBGL New Zealand’s internal CCR to manage the credit quality of financial assets. To enable wider comparisons, ANZBGL New Zealand’s

CCRs are mapped to external rating agency scales as follows:

Satisfactory CCR 5+ to 6- Demonstrated sound operational and financial stability over the

medium to long-term even though some may be susceptible to

cyclical trends or variability in earnings.

Ba1 – B1 BB+ – B+

Weak CCR 7+ to 8= Demonstrated some operational and financial instability, with

variability and uncertainty in profitability and liquidity projected to

continue over the short and possibly medium term.

Defaulted CCR 8- to 10 When doubt arises as to the collectability of a credit facility, the

financial instrument (or ‘the facility’) is classified as defaulted.

MAXIMUM EXPOSURE TO CREDIT RISK

For financial assets recognised on the balance sheet, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount. In certain circumstances there may

be differences between the carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet and the amounts reported in the tables below. Principally, these

differences arise in respect of financial assets that are subject to risks other than credit risk, such as equity instruments which are primarily subject to

market risk, or bank notes and coins.

For undrawn facilities, this maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the committed facilities. For contingent exposures, the maximum

exposure to credit risk is the maximum amount ANZBGL New Zealand would have to pay if the instrument is called upon.

The table below shows our maximum exposure to credit risk of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions before taking account of any

collateral held or other credit enhancements.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Credit risk becomes concentrated when a number of customers are engaged in similar activities, have similar economic characteristics, or have similar

activities within the same geographic region – therefore, they may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. ANZBGL New

Zealand monitors its credit portfolio to manage risk concentration and rebalance the portfolio. ANZBGL New Zealand also applies single customer

counterparty limits to protect against unacceptably large exposures to one single customer.

Analysis of financial assets by industry sector is based on Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) codes. The significant

categories shown are the level one New Zealand Standard Industry Output Categories (NZSIOC), except that Agriculture is shown separately.

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT

We use collateral for on and off-balance sheet exposures to mitigate credit risk if a counterparty cannot meet its repayment obligations. Where there is

sufficient collateral, an expected credit loss is not recognised. This is largely the case for certain lending products, such as margin loans and reverse

repurchase agreements that are secured by the securities purchased using the lending. For some products, the collateral provided by customers is

fundamental to the product’s structuring, so it is not strictly the secondary source of repayment - for example, lending secured by trade receivables is

typically repaid by the collection of those receivables. During the period there was no change in our collateral policies.

The nature of collateral or security held for the relevant classes of financial assets is as follows:

Net loans and advances

Loans – housing and personal Housing loans are secured by mortgage(s) over property and additional security may take the form of

guarantees and deposits.

Personal lending (including credit cards and overdrafts) is predominantly unsecured. If we take

security, then it is restricted to eligible vehicles, motor homes and other assets.

Loans – business Business loans may be secured, partially secured or unsecured. Typically, we take security by way of a

mortgage over property and/or a charge over the business or other assets.

If appropriate, we may take other security to mitigate the credit risk, such as guarantees, standby letters

of credit or derivative protection.

Other financial assets

Trading securities, investment

securities, derivatives and other

financial assets

For trading securities, we do not seek collateral directly from the issuer or counterparty. However, the

collateral may be implicit in the terms of the instrument (for example, with an asset-backed security).

The terms of debt securities may include collateralisation.

For derivatives we will have large individual exposures to single name counterparties such as central

clearing houses, financial institutions, and other institutional clients. Open derivative positions with

these counterparties are aggregated and cash collateral (or other forms of eligible collateral) is

exchanged daily through the respective Credit Support Annex (CSA) agreements. The collateral is

provided by the counterparty when their position is out of the money (or provided to the counterparty

by ANZBGL New Zealand when our position is out of the money). Credit risk will remain where the full

amount of the derivative exposure is not covered by any collateral.

Off-balance sheet positions

Undrawn and contingent facilities Collateral for off-balance sheet positions is mainly held against undrawn facilities, and they are typically

performance bonds or guarantees. Undrawn facilities that are secured include housing loans secured

by mortgages over residential property and business lending secured by commercial real estate and/or

charges over business assets.

MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK OVERVIEW, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES

Market risk stems from ANZBGL New Zealand’s trading and balance sheet management activities and the impact of changes and correlations

between interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, commodities, equities and the volatility within these asset classes.

The BRC delegates responsibility for day-to-day management of both market risk and compliance with market risk policies to the Bank’s Asset &

Liability Management Committee (ALCO).

Within overall strategies and policies established by the BRC, business units and risk management have joint responsibility for the control of market

risk at the ANZBGL New Zealand level. The Market & Treasury Risk team (a specialist risk management unit independent of the business) allocates

market risk limits at various levels and monitors and reports on them daily. This detailed framework allocates individual limits to manage and control

exposures using risk factors and profit and loss limits.

Management, measurement and reporting of market risk is undertaken in two broad categories:

Traded market risk Non-traded market risk

Risk of loss from changes in the value of financial instruments due

to movements in price factors for both physical and derivative

trading positions. Principal risk categories monitored are:

•Currency risk – potential loss arising from changes in foreign

exchange rates or their implied volatilities.

•Interest rate risk – potential loss from changes in market

interest rates or their implied volatilities.

•Credit spread risk – potential loss arising from a movement

in margin or spread relative to a benchmark.

•Commodity risk – potential loss arising from changes in

commodity prices or their implied volatilities.

•Equity risk – potential loss arising from changes in equity

prices.

Risk of loss associated with the management of non-traded interest rate risk,

liquidity risk and foreign exchange exposures. This includes interest rate risk

in the banking book. This risk of loss arises from adverse changes in the

overall and relative level of interest rates for different tenors, differences in

the actual versus expected net interest margin, and the potential valuation

risk associated with embedded options in financial instruments and bank

products.

M

EASUREMENT OF MARKET RISK

We primarily manage and control market risk using Value at Risk (VaR), sensitivity analysis and stress testing.

VaR measures ANZBGL New Zealand’s possible daily loss based on historical market movements.

ANZBGL New Zealand’s VaR approach for both traded and non-traded risk is historical simulation. We use historical changes in market rates, prices and

volatilities over:

•the previous 500 business days, to calculate standard VaR; and

•a 1-year stressed period, to calculate stressed VaR.

We calculate traded and non-traded VaR using a one-day holding period. For stressed VaR we use a ten-day period. Back testing is used to ensure our

VaR models remain accurate.

ANZBGL New Zealand measures VaR at a 99% confidence interval which means there is a 99% chance that a loss will not exceed the VaR for the

relevant holding period.

Non-traded market risk

Balance sheet risk management

The principal objectives of balance sheet risk management are to maintain acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk to mitigate the negative

impact of movements in interest rates on the earnings and market value of ANZBGL New Zealand’s banking book, while ensuring ANZBGL New

Zealand maintains sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due.

Interest rate risk management

Non-traded interest rate risk relates to the potential adverse impact of changes in market interest rates on ANZBGL New Zealand’s future net interest

income. This risk arises from two principal sources, namely mismatches between the repricing dates of interest bearing assets and liabilities; and the

investment of capital and other non-interest bearing liabilities and assets. Interest rate risk is reported using VaR and scenario analysis (based on the

impact of a 1% rate shock). The table below shows VaR figures for non-traded interest rate risk for ANZBGL New Zealand.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK – STRUCTURAL EXPOSURES

Where it is considered appropriate, ANZBGL New Zealand takes out economic hedges against larger foreign exchange denominated expenditure

streams (primarily Australian Dollar, US Dollar and US Dollar correlated). The primary objective of hedging these streams is to protect against a

significant decrease in shareholder value due to negative impacts of foreign exchange rate movements.

LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING RISK

LIQUIDITY RISK OVERVIEW, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES

Liquidity risk is the risk that ANZBGL New Zealand:

•is unable to meet its payment obligations (including repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt) when they fall due; or

•does not have the appropriate amount, tenor and composition of funding and liquidity to fund increases in its assets.

Management of liquidity and funding is overseen by ALCO following delegation from the BRC. Within an overall framework established by the BRC,

Treasury and Market & Treasury Risk have responsibility for the control of funding and liquidity risk at ANZBGL New Zealand level. Liquidity and

funding risks are governed by a set of principles approved by the Risk Committees of the Bank’s and Ultimate Parent Bank’s Boards that include:

•maintaining the ability to meet all payment obligations in the immediate term;

•ensuring the ability to meet ‘survival horizons’ under New Zealand specific and general market liquidity stress scenarios to meet cash flow

obligations over the short to medium term;

•maintaining strength in the balance sheet structure to ensure long term resilience in the liquidity and funding risk profile;

•ensuring the liquidity management framework is compatible with local regulatory requirements;

•preparing daily liquidity reports and scenario analysis to quantify positions;

•targeting a diversified funding base to avoid undue concentrations by investor type, maturity, market source and currency;

•holding a portfolio of high quality liquid assets to protect against adverse funding conditions and to support day-to-day operations; and

•establishing a detailed contingency plan to cover different liquidity crisis events.

KEY AREAS OF MEASUREMENT FOR LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING RISK

Supervision and regulation

RBNZ requires the Bank to have a comprehensive Board approved liquidity strategy defining: policy, systems and procedures for measuring, assessing,

reporting and managing liquidity. This also includes a formal contingency plan for dealing with a liquidity crisis. The Banking Group is required to meet

one week and one month liquidity mismatch ratios and a one year core funding ratio each day.

Scenario modelling

A key component of ANZBGL New Zealand’s liquidity management framework is scenario modelling of a range of regulatory and internal liquidity

metrics.

Potential severe liquidity crisis scenarios that model the behaviour of cash flows where there is a problem (real or perceived) may include, but are not

limited to, operational issues, doubts about solvency, or adverse credit rating changes. Under these scenarios ANZBGL New Zealand may have

significant difficulty rolling over or replacing funding. ANZBGL New Zealand’s liquidity management framework requires sufficient high quality liquid

assets to be held to meet its liquidity needs for the following one month under the modelled scenarios.

As at 30 September 2024, ANZBGL New Zealand was operating above the required minimums for the modelled scenarios.

Structural balance sheet metrics

The Banking Group’s liquidity management framework also encompasses structural balance sheet metrics such as the RBNZ’s core funding ratio. The

core funding ratio is designed to limit the amount of wholesale funding required to be rolled over within a one year timeframe and so interacts with

the modelled liquidity scenarios to maintain the Banking Group‘s liquidity position.

Wholesale funding

The Banking Group’s wholesale funding strategy is designed to deliver a sustainable portfolio of wholesale funds that balances cost efficiency with

targeting diversification by markets, investors, currencies, maturities and funding structures. Short-term and long-term wholesale funding is managed

and executed by Treasury.

The Banking Group also uses maturity concentration limits under the wholesale funding and liquidity management framework. Maturity

concentration limits ensure that the Banking Group is not required to issue large volumes of new wholesale funding within a short time period to

replace maturing wholesale funding. Funding instruments used to meet the wholesale borrowing requirement must be on a pre-established list of

approved products.

Funding capacity and debt issuance planning

The Banking Group adopts a conservative approach to determine its funding capacity. Annually, a funding plan is approved by the Bank’s Board. The

plan is supplemented by regular updates and is linked to the Banking Group’s three-year strategic planning cycle.

through a funding authority) and highly rated corporates.

The Bank also held unencumbered internal residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) which would be accepted as collateral by RBNZ in

repurchase transactions. These holdings would entitle the Bank to enter into repurchase transactions with RBNZ with a value of NZ$10,480 million at

30 September 2024 (2023: NZ$10,776 million).

RBNZ Term Lending Facility (TLF) and Funding for Lending Programme (FLP)

• Between May 2020 and July 2021, RBNZ made funds available under the TLF to promote lending to businesses. The TLF is a five-year secured

funding facility for New Zealand banks at a fixed rate of 0.25%.

• Between December 2020 and December 2022, RBNZ made funds available under the FLP to lower the cost of borrowing for New Zealand

businesses and households. The FLP is a three-year secured funding facility for New Zealand banks at a floating rate of the New Zealand Official

Cash Rate (OCR).

As at 30 September 2024, the Bank had drawn NZ$228 million (2023: NZ$300 million) under the TLF and NZ$2,500 million (2023: NZ$3,500 million)

under the FLP. These amounts are included in securities sold under repurchase agreements in Note 13 Deposits and other borrowings.

Liquidity crisis contingency planning

ANZBGL New Zealand maintains a liquidity crisis contingency plan to define an approach for analysing and responding to a liquidity-threatening

event. The framework includes:

• the establishment of crisis severity/stress levels;

• clearly assigned crisis roles and responsibilities;

• early warning signals indicative of an approaching crisis, and mechanisms to monitor and report these signals;

• action plans, and courses of action for altering asset and liability behaviour;

• procedures for crisis management reporting, and covering cash-flow shortfalls; and

• assigned responsibilities for internal and external communications.

FUNDING POSITION

ANZBGL New Zealand actively uses balance sheet disciplines to prudently manage the funding mix. ANZBGL New Zealand employs funding metrics

to ensure that an appropriate proportion of its assets are funded from stable sources, including customer liabilities, longer-dated wholesale debt (with

remaining term exceeding one year) and equity.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE

The fair valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities is generally determined at the individual instrument level.

If ANZBGL New Zealand holds offsetting risk positions, then the portfolio exception in NZ IFRS 13

Fair Value Measurement (NZ IFRS 13) is used to

measure the fair value of such groups of financial assets and financial liabilities. ANZBGL New Zealand measures the portfolio based on the price that

would be received to sell a net long position (an asset) for a particular risk exposure, or to transfer a net short position (a liability) for a particular risk

exposure.

Fair value designation

We designate commercial paper and certain securities sold under repurchase agreements (included in deposits and other borrowings) at FVTPL where

they are managed on a fair value basis to align the measurement with how the financial instruments are managed.

FAIR VALUE APPROACH AND VALUATION TECHNIQUES

We use valuation techniques to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities for recognition, measurement and disclosure purposes where no quoted

price in an active market exists for that asset or liability. This includes the following:

Asset or liability Fair value approach

Financial instruments classified as:

- Derivative financial assets and financial liabilities

(including trading and non-trading)

- Repurchase agreements <90 days

- Net loans and advances

- Deposits and other borrowings

-Debt issuances

Discounted cash flow techniques are used whereby contractual future cash flows of the

instrument are discounted using wholesale market interest rates, or market borrowing rates

for debt or loans with similar maturities or yield curves appropriate for the remaining term to

maturity.

Financial instruments classified as:

- Trading securities

-Investment securities

Valuation techniques use comparable multiples (such as price-to-book ratios) or discounted

cashflow (DCF) techniques incorporating, to the extent possible, observable inputs from

instruments with similar characteristics.

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

ANZBGL New Zealand categorises assets and liabilities carried at fair value into a fair value hierarchy in accordance with NZ IFRS 13 based on the

observability of inputs used to measure the fair value:

•Level 1 – valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 – valuations using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for a similar asset or liability, either directly

or indirectly; and

•Level 3 – valuations where significant unobservable inputs are used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability.

Level 1 (2023: NZ$338 million transferred from Level 2 to Level 1) for ANZBGL New Zealand due to a change of the observability of valuation inputs. There were no other material transfers

between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year. Transfers into and out of levels are measured at the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES NOT MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE

The financial assets and financial liabilities listed below are carried at amortised cost on ANZBGL New Zealand’s balance s heet. While this is the value at

which we expect the assets will be realised and the liabilities settled, ANZBGL New Zealand provides an estimate of the fair value of the financial assets

and financial liabilities at balance date in the table below.

Fair values of financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost not included in the table below approximate their carrying values. These financial

assets and liabilities are either short term in nature or are floating rate instruments that are re-priced to market interest rates on or near the end of the

reporting period.

16.FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (continued)

The following table sets out ANZBGL New Zealand’s basis of estimating the fair values of financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost where

the carrying value is not typically a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Financial asset and liability Fair value approach

Net loans and advances to banks Discounted cash flows using prevailing market rates for loans with similar credit quality.

Net loans and advances to customers Present value of future cash flows, discounted using a curve that incorporates changes in

wholesale market rates, ANZBGL New Zealand’s cost of wholesale funding and the customer

margin, as appropriate.

Deposit liability without a specified maturity or

at call

The amount payable on demand at the reporting date. We do not adjust the fair value for any

value we expect ANZBGL New Zealand to derive from retaining the deposit for a future period.

Interest bearing fixed maturity deposits and

other borrowings and acceptances with

quoted market rates

Market borrowing rates of interest for debt with a similar maturity are used to discount contractual

cash flows to derive the fair value.

Debt issuances Calculated based on quoted market prices or observable inputs as applicable. If quoted market

prices are not available, we use a discounted cash flow model using a yield curve appropriate for

the remaining term to maturity of the debt instrument. The fair value reflects adjustments to credit

spreads applicable to ANZBGL New Zealand for that instrument.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

A significant portion of financial instruments are carried on ANZBGL New Zealand’s balance sheet at fair value. ANZBGL New Zealand therefore

regularly evaluates the key valuation assumptions used in the determination of the fair valuation of financial instruments incorporated within

the financial statements, as this can involve a high degree of judgement and estimation in determining the carrying values at the balance

sheet date.

In determining the fair valuation of financial instruments, ANZBGL New Zealand has considered the impact of related economic and market

conditions on fair value measurement assumptions and the appropriateness of valuation inputs in these estimates, notably valuation adjustments, as

well as the impact of these matters on the classification of financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy.

M

ost of the valuation models ANZBGL New Zealand uses employ only observable market data as inputs. For certain financial instruments, we

may use data that is not readily observable in current markets. If we use unobservable market data, then we need to exercise more judgement

to determine fair value depending on the significance of the unobservable input to the overall valuation. Generally, we derive unobservable

inputs from other relevant market data and compare them to observed transaction prices where available. When establishing the fair value of

a financial instrument using a valuation technique, ANZBGL New Zealand also considers any required valuation adjustments in determining

the fair value. We may apply adjustments (such as credit valuation adjustments and funding valuation adjustments – refer Note 9 Derivative

financial instruments to reflect ANZBGL New Zealand’s assessment of factors that market participants would consider in determining fair value

of a particular financial instrument.

We offset financial assets and financial liabilities in the balance sheet (in accordance with NZ IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation) when there is:

• a current legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts in all circumstances; and

• an intention to settle the asset and liability on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The following table identifies financial assets and financial liabilities which have not been offset but are subject to enforceable master netting

agreements (or similar arrangements) and the related amounts not offset in the balance sheet. We have not taken into account the effect of over

collateralisation.

Goodwill was assessed for indicators of impairment as at 30 September 2024, taking into account the results of the February 2024 impairment test and

associated sensitivity and scenario analysis performed and the forecast impact of recent economic events. There were no indicators of impairment

therefore, in accordance with NZ IAS 36

Impairment of Assets, no further impairment test was required.

The following information is for the annual goodwill impairment test, and reflects the CGUs and goodwill allocations as at 29 February 2024.

Annual goodwill impairment test

The annual impairment test is performed as at the end of February each year. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of the

relevant CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCOD) and its

value-in -use (VIU). We use a VIU approach to estimate the recoverable amount of the CGU to which each goodwill component is allocated. Based on

this assessment no impairment was identified for any CGU, and therefore a FVLCOD calculation was not required.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
53

19.GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)

VALUE-IN-USE

These calculations use cash flow projections based on a number of financial budgets within each CGU covering an initial forecast period. These

projections also incorporate economic assumptions including GDP, inflation, unemployment, residential and commercial property prices, and the

implementation of RBNZ’s increased capital requirements. Cash flows beyond the forecast period are extrapolated using the terminal growth rate.

These cash flow projections are discounted using a discount rate derived using a capital asset pricing model.

Future changes in the assumptions upon which the calculation is based may materially impact this assessment, resulting in the potential impairment

of part or all of the goodwill balances.

Input / assumption

Values applied in 29 February 2024 impairment test

Forecast period and projections To 30 September 2028 - an extended forecast period was used to cover the implementation of RBNZ’s

increased capital requirements over the transition period ending on 1 July 2028.

Revenue growth over forecast

period

Comprises impacts of net interest margin and volume growth, arising from planned responses to known

regulatory and economic forecasts. Average annual forecast revenue growth rates are shown below.

Credit impairment over forecast

period

Varies by CGU, based on ECL modelling for 2024 and 2025, before returning to long run experience levels

for 2026 to 2028. Long run experience levels are based on ANZBGL New Zealand’s bad debts written off,

net of recoveries, since 2004 of 0.13% of gross loans and advances. Credit impairment for each CGU as a

percentage of forecast gross loans and advances for 2025 to 2028 is shown below.

Terminal growth rate 2.0% - based on 2026 forecast inflation from RBNZ’s February 2024 Monetary Policy Statement.

Discount rate Post tax: 11.7% (February 2023: 11.9%).

The main variables in the calculation of the discount rate used are the risk free rate, beta and the market risk

premium. The risk-free rate was the average traded 10-year New Zealand government bond yield as at 29

February 2024 of 4.8%. The market risk premium was estimated using observed historic rates of return for

the New Zealand stock exchange and 10-year government bonds. Beta was consistent with observable

measures applied in the regional banking sector.

The values of the average revenue growth, credit impairment as a percentage of forecast gross loans and advances, and pre-tax discount rates

assumptions by CGU are shown in the table below. The implied pre-tax discount rates are significantly higher than the post-tax discount rate above

because regulatory capital retention over the forecast period is not tax effected.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Management judgement is used to assess the recoverable value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the useful economic life of

an asset, or whether an asset has an indefinite life. We reassess the recoverability of the carrying value at each reporting date.

Goodwill

A number of key judgements are required in the determination of whether or not a goodwill balance is impaired including:

•the level at which goodwill is allocated – consistent with prior periods the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated are ANZBGL New

Zealand’s revenue generating segments that benefit from relevant historical business combinations generating goodwill.

•determination of the carrying amount of each CGU which includes an allocation, on a reasonable and consistent basis of corporate

assets and liabilities that are not directly attributable to the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated.

•assessment of the recoverable amount of each CGU used to determine whether the carrying amount of goodwill is supported is

based on judgements including the selection of the model and key assumptions used to calculate the recoverable amount.

The assessment of the recoverable amount of each CGU has been made within the context of the inherent uncertainty described in the

key judgements and estimates section on page 9.

Customer remediation

Customer remediation includes provisions for expected refunds to customers and other counterparties, remediation project costs and related

customer, counterparty and regulatory claims, penalties and litigation costs and outcomes.

Restructuring costs

Provisions for restructuring costs arise from activities related to material changes in the scope of business undertaken by ANZBGL New Zealand or the

manner in which that business is undertaken and include employee termination benefits. Costs relating to on-going activities are not provided for and

are expensed as incurred.

Leasehold make good

Provisions associated with leased premises where, at the end of a lease, ANZBGL New Zealand is required to remove any fixtures and fittings installed

in the leased property. This obligation arises immediately upon installation. Estimated make good costs are added to the right of use asset (within

premises and equipment) upon installation and amortised over the lease term.

Other

Other provisions comprise various other provisions including losses arising from other legal action, operational issues, and warranties and indemnities

provided in connection with various disposals of businesses and assets.


RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

ANZBGL New Zealand recognises provisions when there is a present obligation arising from a past event, an outflow of economic resources is

probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.

The amount recognised is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into

account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the timing and amount of the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the estimated cash

flows required to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.




KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

ANZBGL New Zealand holds provisions for various obligations including customer remediation, restructuring costs, leasehold make good

and litigation related claims. These provisions involve judgements regarding the timing and outcome of future events, including estimates

of expenditure required to satisfy such obligations. Where relevant, expert legal advice has been obtained and, in light of such advice,

provisions and/or disclosures as deemed appropriate have been made.

In relation to customer remediation, determining the amount of the provisions, which represent management’s best estimate of the cost

of settling the identified matters, requires the exercise of significant judgement. It will often be necessary to form a view on a number of

different assumptions, including the number of impacted customers, the average refund per customer, the associated remediation project

costs, and the implications of regulatory exposures and customer claims having regard to their specific facts and circumstances. There is a

heightened level of estimation uncertainty where the customer remediation provision relates to a legal proceeding or matter. The

appropriateness of the underlying assumptions is reviewed on a regular basis against actual experience and other relevant evidence

including expert legal advice and adjustments are made to the provisions where appropriate.

discretion of the Directors of ANZ Holdings (New Zealand) Limited and are non-cumulative.

There are nine classes of RPS, relating to issues in 1988, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2014, 2015, 2018 and 2024. ANZ H oldings (New Zealand) Limited did

not pay any dividends on RPS during the years ended 30 September 2024 and 30 September 2023. The uncalled shares were redeemed for no value

PPS do not carry any voting rights. They are classified as equity instruments as there is no contractual obligation for the Bank to either deliver cash or

another financial instrument or to exchange financial instruments on a potentially unfavourable basis.

In the event of liquidation, holders of PPS are entitled to an amount equal to the issue price of the PPS. Holders of PPS rank behind the claims of all

depositors and other creditors of the Bank (other than creditors that rank equally with the PPS), equally with the rights of other holders of PPS and

other equal ranking securities and obligations, and in priority to the rights of holders of ordinary shares.

Holders of PPS are entitled to receive dividends that are discretionary, non-cumulative and subject to conditions. If a PPS dividend is not paid, there are

certain restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay a dividend on its ordinary shares. Holders of the PPS have no other rights to participate in the

profits or property of the Bank.

Holders of PPS have no right to require that the PPS be redeemed.

The Bank has two classes of PPS that are quoted on the NZX Debt Market: PPS issued in 2022 and PPS issued in 2024.

RPS do not carry any voting rights. They are wholly classified as equity instruments as there is no contractual

obligation for ANZ Holdings (New Zealand) Limited to either deliver cash or another financial instrument or to

exchange financial instruments on a potentially unfavourable basis.


In the event of liquidation of ANZ Holdings (New Zealand) Limited

Cash flow hedge

reserve

Includes fair value gains and losses associated with the effective portion of designated cash flow hedging

instruments together with any tax effect.

FVOCI reserve Includes the changes in fair value of investment securities together with any tax effect.

In respect of debt securities classified as measured at FVOCI, the FVOCI reserve records accumulated changes

in fair value arising subsequent to initial recognition, except for those relating to allowance for ECL, interest

income and foreign currency exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. As debt

securities at FVOCI are recorded at fair value, the balance of the FVOCI reserve is net of the ECL allowance

associated with such assets. When a debt security measured at FVOCI is derecognised, the cumulative gain or

loss recognised in the FVOCI reserve in respect of that security is reclassified to profit or loss and presented in

other operating income.

In respect of the equity securities classified as measured at FVOCI, the FVOCI reserve records accumulated

changes in fair value arising subsequent to initial recognition (including any related foreign exchange gains or

losses). When an equity security measured at FVOCI is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss recognised in

the FVOCI reserve in respect of that security is not recycled to profit or loss.

Non-controlling

interests:

Share in the net assets of controlled entities attributable to equity interests which ANZBGL New Zealand does

not own directly or indirectly. The equity interest comprises PPS issued by the Bank.

PPS do not carry any voting rights. They are wholly classified as equity instruments as there is no contractual

obligation for the Bank to either deliver cash or another financial instrument or to exchange financial

instruments on a potentially unfavourable basis.

In the event of liquidation, holders of PPS are entitled to available subscribed capital per share, pari passu with

other equally ranking subordinated debt issued by the Bank but in priority to all holders of ordinary shares

issued by the Bank. They have no entitlement to participate in further distribution of profits or assets.

22.CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

ANZBGL New Zealand’s core capital objectives are to:

•protect the interests of depositors, creditors and shareholders;

•ensure the safety and soundness of ANZBGL New Zealand’s capital position; and

•ensure that the capital base supports ANZBGL New Zealand’s risk appetite, and strategic business objectives, in an efficient and effective

manner.

The Bank has regulatory capital requirements and holds, and manages, most of the Banking Group’s capital position. The Bank’s Board holds ultimate

responsibility for ensuring that capital adequacy of the Banking Group is maintained. This includes: setting, monitoring and obtaining assurance for

the Banking Group’s Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) policy and framework; standardised risk definitions for all material risks;

materiality thresholds; capital adequacy targets; internal risk capital principles; and risk appetite.

The Banking Group has minimum and trigger levels for capital that ensure sufficient capital is maintained to:

•meet minimum prudential requirements imposed by the Bank’s regulators;

•ensure consistency with the Banking Group’s overall risk profile and financial positions, taking into account its strategic focus and business plan;

and

•support the internal risk capital requirements of the business.

ALCO is responsible for developing, implementing and maintaining the Banking Group's ICAAP framework, including ongoing monitoring, reporting

and compliance. The Banking Group’s ICAAP is subject to independent and periodic review.

REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

The Ultimate Parent Bank is a registered bank in New Zealand, and conducts business in New Zealand through the NZ Branch. While RBNZ requires

the Ultimate Parent Bank to comply with the minimum capital adequacy requirements as administered by APRA, there are no regulatory capital

requirements that apply specifically to the NZ Branch or ANZBGL New Zealand.

MANAGED CAPITAL

The Banking Group is subject to its own regulatory capital requirements as administered by RBNZ. The following table provides details of the capital of

ANZBGL New Zealand which is managed outside the Banking Group.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

ANZBGL New Zealand subsidiaries are those entities it controls through:

•being exposed to, or having rights to, variable returns from the entity; and

•being able to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

ANZBGL New Zealand assesses whether it has power over those entities by examining ANZBGL New Zealand’s existing rights to direct the relevant

activities of the entity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

24. STRUCTURED ENTITIES

A Structured Entity (SE) is an entity that has been designed such that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in determining who controls

the entity. SEs are generally established with restrictions on their ongoing activities in order to achieve narrow and well defined objectives.

SEs are classified as subsidiaries and consolidated when control exists. If ANZBGL New Zealand does not control a SE, then it is not consolidated. This

note provides information on both consolidated and unconsolidated SEs.

ANZBGL New Zealand’s involvement with SEs is as follows:

Type Details

Securitisation

ANZBGL New Zealand uses the Kingfisher NZ Trust 2008-1 (the Kingfisher Trust) to securitise residential mortgages

that it has originated, in order to diversify sources of funding for liquidity management. The Kingfisher Trust is an

internal securitisation (bankruptcy remote) vehicle created for the purpose of structuring assets that are eligible for

repurchase under agreements with RBNZ (these are known as ‘Repo eligible’).

ANZBGL New Zealand is exposed to variable returns from its involvement with the Kingfisher Trust and has the

ability to affect those returns through its power over the Kingfisher Trust’s activities. The Kingfisher Trust is

therefore consolidated.

As at 30 September 2024 and 30 September 2023, ANZBGL New Zealand had entered into repurchase agreements

with RBNZ in relation to the TLF and FLP.

Additionally, ANZBGL New Zealand may acquire interests in securitisation vehicles set up by third parties through

providing lending facilities to, or holding securities issued by, such entities.

ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust

(the Covered Bond Trust)

Substantially all of the assets of the Covered Bond Trust are made up of certain housing loans and related

securities originated by the Bank which are security for the guarantee by ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust Limited as

trustee of the Covered Bond Trust of issuances of covered bonds by the Bank, or its wholly owned subsidiary ANZ

New Zealand (Int’l) Limited, from time to time. The assets of the Covered Bond Trust are not available to creditors

of the Bank, although the Bank (or its liquidator or statutory manager) may have a claim against the residual assets

of the Covered Bond Trust (if any) after all priority ranking creditors of the Covered Bond Trust have been satisfied.

ANZBGL New Zealand is exposed to variable returns from its involvement with the Covered Bond Trust and has

the ability to affect those returns through its power over the Covered Bond Trust’s activities. The Covered Bond

Trust is therefore consolidated.

Structured finance

arrangements


ANZBGL New Zealand is involved with SEs established:

• in connection with structured lending transactions to facilitate debt syndication and/or to ring-fence

collateral; and

• to own assets that are leased to customers in structured leasing transactions.

ANZBGL New Zealand may provide risk management products (derivatives) to the SE.

In all instances, ANZBGL New Zealand does not control these SEs. Further, ANZBGL New Zealand’s involvement

does not establish more than a passive interest in decisions about the relevant activities of the SE, and accordingly

we do not consider that interest disclosable.

Funds management activities

ANZBGL New Zealand is the scheme manager for a number of Managed Investment Schemes (MIS). These MIS

include the ANZ and OneAnswer branded KiwiSaver, retail and wholesale schemes. These MIS are financed

through the issue of units to investors and ANZBGL New Zealand considers them to be SEs. ANZBGL New

Zealand’s interests in these MIS are limited to receiving fees for services or providing risk management products

(derivatives). These interests do not create significant exposures to the MIS that would allow ANZBGL New Zealand

to control the funds. Therefore, these MIS are not consolidated.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




61


24. STRUCTURED ENTITIES (continued)

CONSOLIDATED STRUCTURED ENTITIES

Financial or other support provided to consolidated SEs

The Bank provides lending facilities, derivatives and commitments to the Kingfisher Trust and the Covered Bond Trust and/or holds debt instruments

that they have issued. The Bank did not provide any non-contractual support to consolidated SEs during the year (2023: nil).

UNCONSOLIDATED STRUCTURED ENTITIES

ANZBGL New Zealand’s interest in unconsolidated SEs

An ‘interest’ in an unconsolidated SE is any form of contractual or non-contractual involvement with a SE that exposes ANZBGL New Zealand to

variability of returns from the performance of that SE. These interests include, but are not limited to: holdings of debt or equity securities; derivatives

that pass on risks specific to the performance of the SE; lending; loan commitments; financial guarantees; and fees from funds management activities.

For the purpose of disclosing interests in unconsolidated SEs:

• no disclosure is made if ANZBGL New Zealand’s involvement is not more than a passive interest - for example: when ANZBGL New Zealand’s

involvement constitutes a typical customer-supplier relationship. On this basis, exposures to unconsolidated SEs that arise from lending, trading

and investing activities are not considered disclosable interests - unless the design of the structured entity allows ANZBGL New Zealand to

participate in decisions about the relevant activities (being those that significantly affect the entity’s returns).

• ‘interests’ do not include derivatives intended to expose ANZBGL New Zealand to market risk (rather than performance risk specific to the SE) or

derivatives through which ANZBGL New Zealand creates, rather than absorbs, variability of the unconsolidated SE (such as purchase of credit

protection under a credit default swap).

ANZBGL New Zealand earned funds management fees from its MIS of NZ$199 million (2023: NZ$192 million) during the year. As at 30 September

2024, ANZBGL New Zealand had total funds under management of NZ$39.7 billion (2023: NZ$37.1 billion) of which NZ$26.0 billion (2023: NZ$26.1

billion) related to its MIS, with the largest individual fund being approximately NZ$5.2 billion (2023: NZ$4.4 billion).

ANZBGL New Zealand did not provide any non-contractual support to unconsolidated SEs during the year (2023: nil): nor does it have any current

intention to provide financial or other support to unconsolidated SEs.

SPONSORED UNCONSOLIDATED STRUCTURED ENTITIES

ANZBGL New Zealand may also sponsor unconsolidated SEs in which it has no disclosable interest.

For the purposes of this disclosure, ANZBGL New Zealand considers itself the ‘sponsor’ of an unconsolidated SE if it is the primary party involved in the

design and establishment of that SE and:

• ANZBGL New Zealand is the major user of that SE; or

• ANZBGL New Zealand’s name appears in the name of that SE, or on its products; or

• ANZBGL New Zealand provides implicit or explicit guarantees of that SE’s performance.

The Bank has sponsored the ANZ PIE Fund, which invests only in deposits with the Bank. ANZBGL New Zealand does not provide any implicit or

explicit guarantees of the capital value or performance of investments in the ANZ PIE Fund. There was no income received from, nor assets transferred

to, this entity during the year.



KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Significant judgement is required in assessing whether ANZBGL New Zealand has control over SEs. Judgement is required to determine

the existence of:

• power over the relevant activities (being those that significantly affect the entity’s returns); and

• exposure to variable returns of the entity.

25.TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

In the normal course of business ANZBGL New Zealand enters into transactions where it transfers financial assets directly to third parties. These

transfers may give rise to ANZBGL New Zealand fully, or partially, derecognising those financial assets - depending on ANZBGL New Zealand’s

exposure to the risks and rewards or control over the transferred assets. If ANZBGL New Zealand retains substantially all of the risk and rewards of a

transferred asset, the transfer does not qualify for derecognition and the asset remains on ANZBGL New Zealand’s balance sheet in its entirety.


Covered bonds

ANZBGL New Zealand operates a covered bond programme to raise funding. Refer to Note 24 Structured entities for further details. The covered

bonds issued externally are included within debt issuances.

Repurchase agreements

When ANZBGL New Zealand sells securities subject to repurchase agreements under which we retain substantially all the risks and rewards of

ownership, then those assets do not qualify for derecognition. An associated liability is recognised for the consideration received from the

counterparty.

The table below sets out the balance of assets transferred that do not qualify for derecognition, along with the associated liabilities:

Loans made to KMP and their related parties are made in the ordinary course of business on normal commercial terms and conditions no more

favourable than those given to other employees or customers, including the term of the loan, security required and the interest rate. No amounts

have been written off or forgiven, or individually assessed allowances for expected credit losses raised in respect of these balances (2023: nil).

All other transactions with KMP and their related parties are made on terms and conditions no more favourable than those given to other employees

or customers. These transactions generally involve the provision of financial and investment services. In addition to the amounts above:

•Aggregate amounts for each of unsecured loans and advances, interest expense, fee income, debt issuances and collectively assessed credit

impairment charge and allowance for expected credit losses were less than NZ$1 million for both years presented.

•KMP and their related parties also hold units in other MIS managed by ANZBGL New Zealand. Transactions and balances in respect of these MIS

holdings are not disclosed because those MIS are unconsolidated structured entities and not included in the financial statements of ANZBGL

New Zealand.

•Some KMP pay ANZBGL New Zealand for the use of carparks in premises owned or leased by ANZBGL New Zealand. These amounts were less

than NZ$0.1 million (2023: less than NZ$0.1 million).

UNDRAWN FACILITIES

The majority of undrawn facilities are subject to customers maintaining specific credit and other requirements or conditions. Many of these facilities

are expected to be only partially used, and others may never be used at all. As such, the total of the nominal principal amounts is not necessarily

representative of future liquidity risks or future cash requirements. Based on the earliest date on which ANZBGL New Zealand may be required to pay,

the full amount of undrawn facilities mature within 12 months.

GUARANTEES, LETTERS OF CREDIT AND PERFORMANCE RELATED CONTINGENCIES

Guarantees, letters of credit and performance related contingencies relate to transactions that ANZBGL New Zealand has entered into as principal.

Letters of credit involve ANZBGL New Zealand issuing letters of credit guaranteeing payment in favour of an exporter. They are secured against an

underlying shipment of goods or backed by a confirmatory letter of credit from another bank.

Performance related contingencies are liabilities that oblige ANZBGL New Zealand to make payments to a third party if the customer fails to fulfil its

non-monetary obligations under the contract.

To reflect the risks associated with these transactions, we apply the same credit origination, portfolio management and collateral requirements that

we apply to loans. The contract amount represents the maximum potential amount that we could lose if the counterparty fails to meet its financial

obligations. As the facilities may expire without being drawn upon, the notional amounts do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements. Based

on the earliest date on which ANZBGL New Zealand may be required to pay, the full amount of guarantees and letters of credit and performance

related contingencies mature within 12 months.

OTHER CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

There are outstanding court proceedings, claims and possible claims for and against ANZBGL New Zealand. Where relevant, expert legal advice has

been obtained and, in the light of such advice, provisions (refer to Note 20 Other provisions) and/or disclosures as deemed appropriate have been

made. In some instances we have not disclosed the estimated financial impact of the individual items either because it is not practicable to do so or

because such disclosure may prejudice seriously the interests of ANZBGL New Zealand.

REGULATORY AND CUSTOMER EXPOSURES

ANZBGL New Zealand regularly engages with its regulators. The nature of these regulatory interactions can be wide ranging and include regulatory

investigations, surveillance and reviews, reportable situations, formal and informal inquiries and regulatory supervisory activities in New Zealand and

globally. ANZBGL New Zealand also receives notices and requests for information from its regulators from time to time as part of both industry-wide

and ANZBGL New Zealand-specific reviews and makes disclosures to its regulators at its own instigation.

The nature of these interactions can be wide ranging and, for example, may relate to matters including responsible lending practices, regulated

lending requirements, product suitability and distribution, interest and fees and the entitlement to charge them, customer remediation, wealth advice,

insurance distribution, pricing, competition, conduct in financial markets and financial transactions, capital market transactions, anti-money laundering

and counter-terrorism financing obligations, privacy obligations and information security, business continuity management, reporting and disclosure

obligations and product disclosure documentation.

The possible exposures associated with ANZBGL New Zealand’s regulatory interactions may include civil enforcement actions, criminal proceedings,

fines and penalties, imposition of capital or liquidity requirements, customer remediation, the requirement to conduct independent reviews, sanctions

or the exercise of other regulatory powers.

There may also be exposures to customers, investors or third parties which are additional to any regulatory exposures. These could include class

actions or claims for compensation or other remedies.

The outcomes and total costs associated with these possible regulatory, customer and other exposures remain uncertain.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

27.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued)

LOAN INFORMATION LITIGATION

In September 2021, a representative proceeding was brought against the Bank, alleging breaches of disclosure requirements under consumer credit

legislation in respect of variation letters sent to certain loan customers. The Bank is defending the allegations. In July 2022, the High Court ruled that

the plaintiffs may bring the proceeding as an opt-out representative action on behalf of a class, being certain customers who entered into a home

loan or personal loan with the Bank between 6 June 2015 and 28 May 2016 and requested a variation to that loan during that period. Aspects of the

decision were appealed by both parties, and a hearing took place at the Court of Appeal in April 2024. The decision was issued in July 2024, with the

Court of Appeal confirming that the Bank’s class size, with the current representative plaintiff, remains the same. The Court of Appeal also granted the

plaintiff’s application for a common fund order with immediate effect. The Bank has applied to the Supreme Court for leave to appeal the Court of

Appeal’s decision as it relates to common fund orders and is awaiting the Supreme Court’s decision on whether to grant a hearing.

WARRANTIES AND INDEMNITIES

ANZBGL New Zealand has provided warranties, indemnities and other commitments in various contracts for the disposal of businesses and assets and

other commercial transactions, covering a range of matters and risks. It is exposed to potential claims under those warranties, indemnities and

commitments, some of which are currently active. The outcomes and total costs associated with these exposures remain uncertain.

U

nder ANZBGL New Zealand’s policy, KPMG New Zealand or any of its related practices are allowed to provide assurance and other audit related

services that, while outside the scope of the statutory audit, are consistent with the role of an external auditor. These include regulatory and prudential

reviews requested by regulators such as RBNZ. Any other services that are not audit or audit-related services are non-audit services. ANZBGL New

Zealand’s p olicy allows certain non-audit services to be provided where the service would not contravene auditor independence requirements. KPMG

New Zealand or any of its related practices may not provide services that are perceived to be in conflict with the role of the external auditor or breach

auditor independence. These include consulting advice and subcontracting 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE DIRECTORS OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

REPORT ON AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

B

ASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)). We believe that the audit evidence we

have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We are independent of ANZBGL New Zealand in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1

International Code of Ethics for Assurance

Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand)

issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board

and the International Ethics Standards Board for

Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International

Independence Standards)

(IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA

Code.

Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section

of our report.

Our firm has provided services to ANZBGL New Zealand in relation to review of regulatory returns, internal controls reports, prospectus assurance or

reviews, agreed upon procedures engagements and other assurance engagements. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm

may also deal with ANZBGL New Zealand on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of ANZBGL New Zealand.

These matters have not impaired our independence as auditor of ANZBGL New Zealand. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in,

ANZBGL New Zealand.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial

statements in the current period. We summarise below those matters and our key audit procedures to address those matters in order that the

directors as a body may better understand the process by which we arrived at our audit opinion.

Our procedures were undertaken in the context of and solely for the purpose of our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole

and we do not express discrete opinions on separate elements of the consolidated financial statements.

ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES ($861 MILLION)

Refer to Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements.

The key audit matter

Allowance for expected credit losses is a key audit matter due to the significance of the loans and advances balance to the consolidated financial

statements and the inherent complexity of ANZBGL New Zealand’s Expected Credit Loss (ECL) models used to measure ECL allowances. These models

are reliant on data and a number of estimates including impacts of multiple economic scenarios, and other assumptions such as defining a Significant

Increase in Credit Risk (SICR).

NZ IFRS 9 requires A

NZBGL New Zealand to measure ECL on a forward-looking basis reflecting a range of future economic conditions, of which GDP

and unemployment levels are considered key assumptions. Post-model adjustments to the ECL results are also made by ANZBGL New Zealand to

address known ECL model limitations or emerging trends in the loan portfolios. We exercise significant judgement in challenging both the economic

scenarios used and the judgemental post-model adjustments that ANZBGL New Zealand applies to the ECL results.

ANZBGL New Zealand’s criteria selected to identify a SICR, such as a decrease in customer credit rating (CCR), are key areas of judgement within

ANZBGL New Zealand’s ECL methodology as these criteria determine if a forward-looking 12 month or lifetime allowance is recorded.

OPINION

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the New Zealand business of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group

Limited (ANZBGL) and its subsidiaries (ANZBGL New Zealand) on pages 4 to 65 which comprise:

•the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 September 2024;

•the consolidated income statement, statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended; and

•notes, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements:

•give a true and fair view of ANZBGL New Zealand’s financial position as at 30 September 2024 and its financial performance and cash flows

for the year ended on that date; and

•comply with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, which in this instance means New Zealand Equivalents to International

Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) issued by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting

Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board

.

ASSURANCE REPORT

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our audit procedures for the allowance for ECL and disclosures included assessing ANZBGL New Zealand’s significant accounting policies against the

requirements of the accounting standard. Credit risk and economic specialists were used in ECL audit procedures as a core part of our audit team.

We tested key controls in relation to:

•ANZBGL New Zealand’s ECL model governance and validation processes which involved assessment of model performance;

•ANZBGL New Zealand’s assessment and approval of the forward-looking macro-economic assumptions and scenario weightings through

challenge applied by ANZBGL New Zealand’s internal governance processes;

•Reconciliation of the data used in the ECL calculation process to gross balances recorded within the general ledger as well as source systems;

•Counterparty risk grading for wholesale loans (larger customer exposures are monitored individually). We tested the approval of new lending

facilities against ANZBGL New Zealand’s lending policies, and controls over the monitoring of counterparty credit quality; and

•IT system controls which record retail loans lending arrears, group exposures into delinquency buckets and recalculate individual allowances.

We tested automated calculation and change management controls and evaluated the oversight of the portfolios, with a focus on controls over

delinquency monitoring.

We tested relevant General Information Technology Controls over the key IT applications used by ANZBGL New Zealand in measuring ECL allowances,

as detailed in the IT Systems and Controls key audit matter below.

In addition to controls testing, our procedures included:

•Re-performing credit assessments for a sample of wholesale loans controlled by ANZBGL New Zealand’s specialist workout and recovery team,

who assessed them as higher risk or impaired, and a sample of other loans, focusing on larger exposures assessed by ANZBGL New Zealand as

showing signs of deterioration, or in areas of emerging risk (assessed against external market).

•For each loan sampled, we challenged ANZBGL New Zealand’s CCR and Security Indicator, assessment of loan recoverability, valuation of

security and the impact on the credit allowance. To do this, we reviewed the information on ANZBGL New Zealand’s loan file, understood the

facts and circumstances of the case with the relationship manager, and performed our own assessment of recoverability.

•Exercising our judgement, our procedures included using our understanding of relevant industries and the macro-economic environment, and

comparing data and assumptions used by ANZBGL New Zealand in recoverability assessments to externally sourced evidence, such as

commodity prices and external property sale information. Where relevant, we assessed the forecast timing of future cash flows in the context of

underlying valuations and approved business plans and challenged key assumptions in the valuations

;

•O

btaining an understanding of ANZBGL New Zealand’s processes to determine ECL allowances, evaluating ANZBGL New Zealand’s ECL model

methodologies against established market practices and criteria in the accounting standards;

•Working with our credit risk specialists, we assessed the accuracy of ANZBGL New Zealand’s ECL model estimates by re-performing, for a sample

of loans, the ECL allowance using our independently driven calculation tools and comparing this to the amount recorded by ANZBGL New

Zealand;

•Working with our economic specialists, we challenged ANZBGL New Zealand’s forward-looking macro-economic assumptions and scenarios

incorporated in ANZBGL New Zealand’s ECL models. We compared ANZBGL New Zealand’s forecast GDP and unemployment rates, to relevant

publicly available macro-economic information, and considered other known variables and information obtained through our other audit

procedures to identify contradictory indicators;

•Testing the implementation of ANZBGL New Zealand’s SICR methodology by re-performing the staging calculation for a sample of loans taking

into consideration movements in the CCR from loan origination and comparing our expectation to actual staging applied on an individual

account level in ANZBGL New Zealand’s ECL model; and

•Assessing the accuracy of the data used in the ECL models by confirming a sample of data fields such as account balance and CCR to relevant

source systems.

We also challenged key assumptions in the components of ANZBGL New Zealand’s post-model adjustments. This included:

•Assessing the requirement for post-model adjustments considering ANZBGL New Zealand’s ECL model and data deficiencies identified by

ANZBGL New Zealand’s ECL model validation processes;

•Comparing underlying data used in concentration risk and economic cycle allowances to underlying loan portfolio characteristics of recent loss

experience, current market conditions and specific risks inherent in ANZBGL New Zealand’s loan portfolios;

•Assessing certain post-model adjustments identified against internal and external information; and

•Assessing the completeness of post-model adjustments by checking the consistency of risks we identified in the portfolios against ANZBGL New

Zealand’s assessment.

We assessed the appropriateness of ANZBGL New Zealand’s disclosures in the consolidated financial statements using our understanding obtained

from our testing and against the requirements of NZ IFRS.

VALUATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value of Level 2 financial instruments in asset positions $13,960 million, in liability positions $13,534 million

Refer to Note 16 of the consolidated financial statements.

The key audit matter

The fair value of ANZBGL New Zealand’s Level 2 financial instruments is determined by ANZBGL New Zealand through the application of valuation

techniques which often involve the exercise of judgement and the use of assumption and estimates.

The valuation of Level 2 financial instruments held at fair value is a key audit matter due to the complexity associated with the valuation methodology

and models of certain more complex Level 2 financial instruments including fair value adjustments (FVAs) leading to an increase in subjectivity and

estimation uncertainty. Level 2 financial instruments represent 45% of ANZBGL New Zealand’s financial assets carried at fair value and 97% of ANZBGL

New Zealand’s financial liabilities carried at fair value.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our audit procedures for the valuation of financial instruments held at fair value included:

Performing an assessment of the population of financial instruments held at fair value to identify portfolios that have a higher risk of misstatement

arising from significant judgment over valuation either due to unobservable inputs or complex models.

We tested the design and operating effectiveness of key controls relating specifically to these financial instruments, including:

•Independent Price Verification (IPV), including completeness of portfolios and valuation inputs subject to IPV;

•model validation at inception and periodically, including assessment of model limitation and assumptions;

•review and challenge of daily profit and loss by a control function;

•collateral management process, including review of margin reconciliations with clearing houses; and

•review and approval of FVAs, including exit price and portfolio level adjustments.

In relation to the valuation of Level 2 financial instruments, with the assistance of our valuation specialists:

•Assessing the reasonableness of key inputs and assumptions using comparable data in the market and available alternatives;

•Comparing ANZBGL New Zealand’s valuation methodology to industry practice and the criteria in the accounting standards; and

•Independently revaluing a selection of financial instruments and FVAs. This involved sourcing independent inputs from comparable data in the

market and available alternatives. We challenged and assessed any differences.

We assessed ANZBGL New Zealand’s consolidated financial statement disclosures, including key judgements and assumptions using our

understanding obtained from our testing and against NZ IFRS.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) SYSTEMS AND CONTROLS

The key audit matter

As a major New Zealand bank, ANZBGL New Zealand’s businesses utilise a large number of complex, interdependent IT systems to process and record

a high volume of transactions. Controls over access and changes to IT systems are critical to the recording of financial information and the preparation

of a financial report which provides a true and fair view of ANZBGL New Zealand’s financial position and performance. The IT systems and controls, as

they impact the financial recording and reporting of transactions, is a key audit matter and our audit approach could significantly differ depending on

the effective operation of ANZBGL New Zealand’s IT controls.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

We tested the control environment for key IT applications used in processing significant transactions and recording balances in the general ledger. We

also tested automated controls embedded within these systems which support the effective operation of technology-enabled business processes.

Our IT specialists were used throughout the engagement as a core part of our audit team.

Our audit procedures included:

•Assessing the governance and higher-level controls in place across the IT environment, including the approach to ANZBGL New Zealand policy

design, review and awareness;

•Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls across the User Access Management Lifecycle, including how users are on- boarded,

reviewed, and removed on a timely basis from critical IT applications and supporting infrastructure. We also examined how privileged roles and

functions are managed across each IT application and the supporting infrastructure;

•Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls in place over change management, including how changes are initiated, documented,

approved, tested and authorised prior to migration into the production environment of critical IT applications. We also assessed the

appropriateness of users with access to make changes to IT applications across ANZBGL New Zealand;

•Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls used by ANZBGL New Zealand’s technology teams to schedule system jobs and monitor

system integrity;

•Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls related to significant IT application programs per the ANZ Delivery Framework; and

•Design and operating effectiveness testing of automated business process controls including those that enforce segregation of duties between

conflicting roles within IT applications, configurations in place to perform calculations, mappings, and flagging of financial transactions,

automated reconciliation controls (both between systems, and intra-system) and data integrity of critical system reporting used by us in our

audit to select samples and analysis data used by management to generate financial reporting.

ASSURANCE REPORT

CARRYING VALUE OF GOODWILL ($3,006 MILLION)

Refer to Note 19 of the consolidated financial statements.

The key audit matter

Carrying value of goodwill is a key audit matter due to a number of judgements required in the determination of the recoverable amount of goodwill,

and because the carrying value of goodwill is financially significant at the reporting date.

ANZBGL New Zealand uses a value-in -use (VIU) approach to estimate the recoverable amount of each Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which goodwill

is allocated. The reasonableness of the recoverable amounts was assessed using an implied market-multiples approach.

The ongoing effects and uncertainties associated with the environment continue to increase the potential for impairment and our audit effort in this

area remains elevated. There is increased judgement in forecasting cash flows and assumptions used in the discounted cash flow models and market-

multiples used in the reasonableness assessment. The risk is most pronounced for the Institutional CGU.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

We involved valuation specialists to supplement our senior team members in assessing this key audit matter.

Working with our valuation specialists, our procedures included:

•In accordance with accounting standards, assessing the reasonableness of the amounts allocated to the CGUs to which ANZBGL New Zealand

allocated goodwill;

•Considering the appropriateness of the valuation method applied by ANZBGL New Zealand to perform their annual test for impairment against

the requirements of the accounting standards;

•Assessing the integrity of the VIU model used by ANZBGL New Zealand, including the accuracy of the underlying calculation formulae;

•Assessing the accuracy of previous ANZBGL New Zealand forecasts to inform our evaluation of forecasts incorporated in the VIU model;

•For each CGU, stress testing key VIU assumptions to consider reasonably possible alternatives;

•For the Institutional CGU, assessing ANZBGL New Zealand’s key assumptions used in the VIU model, including discount rates, revenue growth

rates, and terminal growth rates comparing to external observable metrics, historical experience, our knowledge of the markets and current

market practice;

•Comparing the forecast cash flows contained in the model to the revised Operational forecast, reflecting the current economic environment

and the increased regulatory minimum capital requirements;

•Assessing key assumptions used in the market-multiples reasonableness assessment, which we assessed as being equivalent to a fair value less

costs of disposal approach. These assumptions included future maintainable earnings, the control premium comparing the implied multiples

from comparable market transactions to the implied multiples used in the VIU model;

•Assessing the reasonableness of ANZBGL New Zealand’s review for potential internal and external indicators of impairment. This review

considered the period from the annual impairment test as at 29 February 2024 up to financial year end; and

•Assessing the disclosures in the financial statements against the requirements of the accounting standards.

B1. GENERAL DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED)

Details of ultimate parent bank and ultimate non-bank holding company

The registered bank, which is also the ultimate parent bank, is Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (Ultimate Parent Bank). The principal

office and place of business outside New Zealand, and address for service of the Ultimate Parent Bank, is ANZ Centre, Melbourne, Level 9, 833 Collins

Street, Docklands, Victoria 3008, Australia.

The ultimate non-bank holding company is ANZ Group Holdings Limited. The address for service is ANZ Centre, Melbourne, Level 9, 833 Collins Street,

Docklands, Victoria 3008, Australia.

Subordination of claims of creditors

Certain creditors of the Ultimate Parent Bank are given a statutory priority under Australian law. Unsecured creditors of the NZ Branch could be

expected to rank behind such claims.

Specifically, pursuant to subsection 13A(3) of the Banking Act 1959 of the Commonwealth of Australia (the Banking Act), if an Authorised Deposit-

Taking Institution (ADI) (which includes the Ultimate Parent Bank) becomes unable to meet its obligations or suspends payment, the assets of the ADI

in Australia are to be available to meet the ADI's liabilities in the following order:

(a) first, the ADI's liabilities (if any) to APRA because of the rights APRA has against the ADI because of section 16AI or 16AIC of the Banking Act;

(b) second, the ADI's debts (if any) to APRA under section 16AO of the Banking Act;

(c) third, the ADI's liabilities (if any) in Australia in relation to protected accounts that account-holders keep with the ADI. (Broadly, this means

accounts (including deposit accounts) kept with the Ultimate Parent Bank that are situated in Australia and recorded in Australian dollars);

(d) fourth, the ADI’s debts (if any) to the Reserve Bank of Australia;

(e) fifth, the ADI’s liabilities (if any) under an industry support contract that is certified by APRA under section 11CB of the Banking Act; and

(f) sixth, the ADI's other liabilities in the order of their priority (apart from subsection 13A(3)).

Unsecured creditors of the NZ Branch could be expected to rank as a creditor pursuant to the sixth paragraph, together with other unsecured

creditors of the Ultimate Parent Bank that do not otherwise have a priority claim under preceding paragraphs.

Subsections 16(1) and (2) of the Banking Act provide that, despite anything contained in any law relating to the winding-up of companies, but subject

to subsection 13A(3) of the Banking Act, the debts of an ADI to APRA in respect of APRA's costs (including costs in the nature of remuneration and

expenses) of being in control of the ADI's business, or of having an administrator in control of the ADI's business, are a debt due to APRA and have

priority in a winding-up of the ADI over all other unsecured debts.

Section 86 of the Reserve Bank Act 1959 of the Commonwealth of Australia provides that notwithstanding anything contained in any law relating to

the winding-up of companies, but subject to subsection 13A(3) of the Banking Act, debts due to the Reserve Bank of Australia by any ADI shall, in a

winding-up, have priority over all other debts.

This description of the liabilities which are mandatorily preferred by law is not exhaustive.

These provisions affect all of the unsecured liabilities of the NZ Branch, which as at 30 September 2024, amounted to NZ$2m (2023: NZ$1m).

Requirement to maintain sufficient assets to cover ongoing obligation to pay deposit liabilities

Subsection 13A(4) of the Banking Act states that it is an offence if an ADI does not hold assets (excluding goodwill and any assets or other amount

excluded by the prudential standards for the purposes of that subsection) in Australia of a value that is equal to or greater than the total amount of its

deposit liabilities in Australia, and APRA has not authorised the ADI to hold assets of a lesser value. This requirement has the potential to impact on the

management of the liquidity of the NZ Branch.

APRA’s powers

The Ultimate Parent Bank is subject to extensive prudential regulation by APRA.

The Banking Act requires APRA to exercise its powers and functions for the protection of the depositors of Australian ADIs and for the promotion of

financial system stability in Australia.

Where APRA considers that an ADI may become unable to meet its obligations or suspends payment (among other circumstances), APRA can take

control of the ADI's business (including by appointment of an ADI statutory manager). APRA also has power to direct the ADI not to make payments in

respect of its indebtedness and to compulsorily transfer some or all of the ADI’s assets and liabilities to another ADI in certain circumstances and to

increase its capital in specified circumstances. A counterparty to a contract with an ADI cannot rely solely on the fact that an ADI statutory manager is

in control of the ADI's business or on the making of a direction or compulsory transfer order as a basis for denying any obligations to the ADI or for

accelerating any debt under that contract or closing out any transaction relating to that contract.

The Financial Sector Legislation Amendment (Crisis Resolution Powers and Other Measures) Act 2018 (the Crisis Management Act) amended the

Banking Act (among other statutes applicable to financial institutions in Australia) and was intended to enhance APRA’s powers. Specifically, the Crisis

Management Act enhanced APRA’s powers to facilitate resolution of the entities it regulates (and their subsidiaries) in times of distress. Additional

powers which could impact the Overseas Banking Group include greater oversight, management and directions powers in relation to the Ultimate

Parent Bank and other Overseas Banking Group entities which were previously not regulated by APRA, increased statutory management powers over

regulated entities within the Overseas Banking Group and changes which are designed to give statutory recognition to the conversion or write-off of

regulatory capital instruments.

The requirements of the Banking Act and the exercise by APRA of its powers have the potential to impact the management of the liquidity of ANZBGL

New Zealand.

B1. GENERAL DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Restrictions on the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ability to provide financial support

Effect of APRA’s Prudential Standards

APRA Prudential Standard APS 222 Associations with Related Entities (APS222) sets minimum requirements for ADIs in Australia, including the Ultimate

Parent Bank, in relation to the monitoring, management and control of risks which arise from associations with related entities and also includes

maximum limits on intra-group financial exposures.

Under APS222, the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ability to provide financial support to the Bank is subject to the following restrictions:

• the Ultimate Parent Bank should not undertake any third party dealings for the purpose of supporting the business of the Bank;

• the Ultimate Parent Bank must not hold unlimited exposures (i.e. should be limited as to specified time or amount) in the Bank (e.g. not provide

a general guarantee covering any of the Bank’s obligations);

• the Ultimate Parent Bank must not agree to cross-default clauses whereby a default by the Bank on an obligation (whether financial or

otherwise) triggers or is deemed to trigger a default by the Ultimate Parent Bank on its obligations; and

• the level of exposure, net of exposures deducted from capital, of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s level 1 tier 1 capital base to the Bank should not

exceed: (A) 25% on an individual exposure basis; or (B) 75% in aggregate (being exposures to all similar regulated ADI equivalent entities related

to the Ultimate Parent Bank).

In addition, since 1 January 2021, no more than 5% of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s level 1 tier 1 capital base can comprise non-equity exposures to its

New Zealand operations (including its subsidiaries incorporated in New Zealand, such as the Banking Group, and the New Zealand Branch) during

ordinary times. This limit does not include holdings of capital instruments or eligible secured contingent funding support provided to the Bank during

times of financial stress.

APRA has also confirmed that contingent funding support by the Ultimate Parent Bank to the Bank during times of financial stress must be provided

on terms that are acceptable to APRA. At present, only covered bonds meet APRA’s criteria for contingent funding.

Effect of the Level 3 framework

In addition, certain requirements of APRA’s Level 3 framework relating to, among other things, group governance and risk exposures became effective

on 1 July 2017. This framework also requires that the Ultimate Parent Bank must limit its financial and operational exposures to subsidiaries (including

the Bank).

In determining the acceptable level of exposure to a subsidiary, the Board of the Ultimate Parent Bank should have regard to:

• the exposures that would be approved for third parties of broadly equivalent credit status;

• the potential impact on the Ultimate Parent Bank’s capital and liquidity positions; and

• the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ability to continue operating in the event of a failure by the Bank.

These requirements are not expected to place additional restrictions on the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ability to provide financial or operational support

to the Bank.

Other APRA powers

The Ultimate Parent Bank may not provide financial support in breach of the Banking Act, as described under ‘APRA’s powers’ above.

Guarantees

No material obligations of the NZ Branch are guaranteed as at 7 November 2024.

Board Audit Committee

There is a board Audit Committee which covers audit matters. The Committee has four members. Each member is a non-executive Director.

Policy of the board of directors for avoiding or dealing with conflicts of interest

The Board of the Ultimate Parent Bank has adopted procedures to ensure that conflicts and potential conflicts of interest between a Director’s duties

to the Ultimate Parent Bank and their own interests are avoided or dealt with. Pursuant to these procedures:

• each Director should disclose to all Directors any material personal interest they have in any matter which relates to the affairs of the Ultimate

Parent Bank and any other interest which the Director believes is appropriate to disclose in order to avoid an actual conflict of interest or the

perception of a conflict of interest. This disclosure should be made as soon as practicable after the Director becomes aware of their interest or

the need to make a disclosure.

• any Director who has an interest of the type referred to above in a matter that is to be considered at a Directors' meeting, must not vote on the

matter nor be present while the matter is considered at the meeting, unless a majority of Directors who do not have such an interest in the

matter agree that the interest should not disqualify such Director from being present while the matter is being considered and from voting on

the matter. The minutes of the meeting should record the decision taken by the Directors who do not have an interest in the matter.

In addition, Standing Notices about Interests are maintained for each Director. If the Director's interests change, the Director shall disclose the change

as soon as practicable and an updated Standing Notice shall be tabled at the next Board meeting and recorded in the minutes of that meeting.

1. That the banking group does not conduct any non-financial activities that in aggregate are material relative to its total activities.

In this condition of registration, the meaning of “material” is based on generally accepted accounting practice.

2. That the banking group’s insurance business is not greater than 1% of its total consolidated assets.

For the purposes of this condition of registration, the banking group’s insurance business is the sum of the following amounts for entities in the banking group:

a) if the business of an entity predominantly consists of insurance business and the entity is not a subsidiary of another entity in the banking group whose

business predominantly consists of insurance business, the amount of the insurance business to sum is the total consolidated assets of the group headed by

the entity; and

b) if the entity conducts insurance business and its business does not predominantly consist of insurance business and the entity is not a subsidiary of another

entity in the banking group whose business predominantly consists of insurance business, the amount of the insurance business to sum is the total liabilities

relating to the entity’s insurance business plus the equity retained by the entity to meet the solvency or financial soundness needs of its insurance business.

In determining the total amount of the banking group’s insurance business—

a) all amounts must relate to on balance sheet items only, and must comply with generally accepted accounting practice; and

b) if products or assets of which an insurance business is comprised also contain a non-insurance component, the whole of such products or assets must be

considered part of the insurance business.

For the purposes of this condition of registration,—

“insurance business” means the undertaking or assumption of liability as an insurer under a contract of insurance:

“insurer” and “contract of insurance” have the same meaning as provided in sections 6 and 7 of the Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010.

3. That the business of the registered bank in New Zealand does not constitute a predominant proportion of the total business of the registered bank.

4. That no appointment to the position of the New Zealand chief executive officer of the registered bank shall be made unless:

a) the Reserve Bank has been supplied with a copy of the curriculum vitae of the proposed appointee; and

b) the Reserve Bank has advised that it has no objection to that appointment.

5. That Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited complies with the requirements imposed on it by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.

6. That Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited complies with the following minimum capital adequacy requirements, as administered by the Australian

Prudential Regulation Authority:

a) Common Equity Tier 1 capital of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited is not less than 4.5 percent of risk weighted exposures;

b) Tier 1 capital of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited is not less than 6 percent of risk weighted exposures;

c) Total capital of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited is not less than 8 percent of risk weighted exposures.

7. That the business of the registered bank in New Zealand is restricted to:

a) acquiring for fair value, and holding, mortgages originated by ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited; and

b) any other business for which the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank has been obtained; and

c) activities that are necessarily incidental to the business specified in paragraphs (a) and (b).

8. That the value of the mortgages held by the registered bank in New Zealand must not exceed $15 billion in aggregate.

9. That the registered bank in New Zealand does not incur any liabilities except:

a) to the government of New Zealand in respect of taxation and other charges;

b) to other branches or the head office of the registered bank;

c) to trade creditors and staff;

d) to ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited in respect of activities, other than borrowing, that are necessarily incidental to the business specified in paragraphs a) and

b) of condition 7; and

e) any other liabilities for which the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank has been obtained.


In these conditions of registration,—

“banking group” means the New Zealand business of the registered bank and its subsidiaries as required to be reported in group financial statements for the group’s

New Zealand business under section 461B(2) of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

“business of the registered bank in New Zealand” means the New Zealand business of the registered bank as defined in the requirement for financial statements for New

Zealand business in section 461B(1) of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

“generally accepted accounting practice” has the same meaning as in section 8 of the Financial Reporting Act 2013.

Other material matters

RBNZ capital requirements

RBNZ has revised the capital adequacy requirements applying to New Zealand locally incorporated registered banks, which are set out in RBNZ’s

Banking Prudential Requirements documents. As a result, the Banking Group is materially increasing the level of capital it holds over the transition

period from October 2021 to July 2028. The key requirements still being implemented are:

• The Banking Group’s total capital requirement will progressively increase to 18% of RWA, including tier 1 capital of at least 16% of RWA. Up to

2.5% of the tier 1 capital requirement can be made up of additional tier 1 (AT1) capital, with the remainder of the tier 1 requirement made up of

common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital. AT1 capital must consist of perpetual preference shares, which may be redeemable. The total capital

requirement can also include tier 2 capital of up to 2% of RWA. Tier 2 capital must consist of long-term subordinated debt.

• The capital requirement will include a CET1 prudential capital buffer of 9% of RWA. This will include: a 2% domestic systemically important bank

capital buffer; a 1.5% 'early-set' counter-cyclical capital buffer, which can be temporarily reduced to 0% following a financial crisis, or temporarily

increased, and a 5.5% capital conservation buffer.

• Contingent capital instruments will no longer be treated as eligible regulatory capital. As at 30 September 2024, the Bank had NZ$938 million of

AT1 instruments that will progressively lose eligible regulatory capital treatment over the transition period to July 2028.

Overall, loss allowances are 0.48% of gross balances as at 30 September 2024, unchanged from 30 September 2023. The NZ$4 million (0.5 %) increase

in loss allowances was driven by an increase in the proportion of gross balances in Stage 2 and Stage 3, and changes in the forward-looking economic

scenarios as described in Note 12 Allowance for expected credit losses, offset by a release of management temporary adjustments.

The Ultimate Parent Bank and the Overseas Banking Group are required to hold minimum capital as determined by APRA’s capital framework, which is

at least equal to that specified under the internationally agreed Basel III framework.

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

• the Internal Ratings Based (IRB) methodology for calculation of credit risk weighted assets. Where the Overseas Banking Group is not accredited

to use the IRB methodology the Overseas Banking Group applies the standardised approach.

• the Standardised Measurement Approach (SMA) for the operational risk weighted asset equivalent.

The Overseas Banking Group exceeded the minimum capital requirements set by APRA as at 30 September 2024 and for the comparative prior

periods.

The Overseas Banking Group is required to publicly disclose Pillar 3 financial information as at 30 September 2024. The Overseas Banking Group’s Pillar

3 disclosure document for the quarter ended 30 September 2024, in accordance with APS 330:

Public Disclosure of Prudential Information, discloses

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

As required by RBNZ, LVRs are calculated as the current exposure secured by a residential mortgage divided by ANZBGL New Zealand's valuation of

the security property at origination of the exposure. Off-balance sheet exposures include undrawn and partially drawn residential mortgage loans as

well as commitments to lend. Commitments to lend are formal offers for housing lending which have been accepted by the customer.

B6. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES

Information about risk

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 will continue to strengthen our risk management framework and practices to meet such

challenges.

The Board is ultimately responsible for establishing and overseeing ANZBGL New Zealand’s Risk Management Framework (RMF), which is

supported by ANZBGL New Zealand’s underlying systems, structures, policies, procedures, processes and people. The Board has delegated

authority to the Bank’s Board Risk Committee (BRC) to develop and monitor compliance with ANZBGL New Zealand’s risk management

policies. The Committee reports regularly to the Board on its activities. The key pillars of ANZBGL New Zealand’s RMF include:

• The Risk Management Strategy (RMS) is a critical element of ANZBGL New Zealand’s RMF. The RMS includes: how the risk function is

structured to support ANZBGL New Zealand’s purpose and strategy; 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 ANZBGL New Zealand identifies, measures, evaluates, monitors, reports and controls or mitigates the

material risks and the oversight mechanism and/or committees in place.

• The Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), conveys, for each material risk, the maximum level of risk ANZBGL New Zealand 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 ANZBGL New Zealand.


Material risks

The material risks facing ANZBGL New Zealand per our RMS, and how these risks are managed, are summarised below.

During the year, ANZBGL New Zealand elevated Climate risk to material risk status. A dedicated Climate risk management team, with oversight from

the material risk owners, are working to integrate and embed Climate risk into ANZBGL New Zealand’s RMF through existing policies, processes and

governance frameworks.

Each material risk has an associated RAS component, and where applicable, is measured by appropriate metric(s) and associated tolerance(s)

representing the maximum level of risk appropriate to execute ANZBGL New Zealand’s strategic agenda. Metrics are reviewed at least annually. A risk

appetite dashboard is prepared and reviewed by senior management monthly, and presented to the BRC at each meeting.


Risk type Description Managing the risk

Capital

adequacy

risk

The risk of loss arising from ANZBGL New Zealand failing to

maintain the level of capital required by prudential

regulators and other key stakeholders (shareholders, debt

investors, depositors, rating agencies, etc.) to support

ANZBGL New Zealand’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. The ICAAP also operates as part of the management

framework for this risk.

Credit risk

The risk of financial loss resulting from:

• a counterparty failing to fulfil its obligations; or

• a decrease in credit quality of a counterparty resulting

in a loss.

Includes:

• concentrations of credit risk;

• intra-day credit risk;

• credit risk to bank counterparties; and

• related party credit risk

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.

The effectiveness of the Credit risk framework is assessed through

various compliance and monitoring processes. These, together with

portfolio selection, define and guide the credit process, organisation

and staff.

Liquidity

and

funding risk

The risk that ANZBGL New Zealand is unable to meet its

payment obligations as they fall due, including:

• repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt; or

• ANZBGL New Zealand having insufficient capacity to

fund increases in assets.

ANZBGL New Zealand 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 ANZBGL New Zealand’s earnings arising

from:

• changes in any interest rates, foreign exchange rates,

credit spreads, volatility, and correlations; or

• fluctuations 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.

ANZBGL New Zealand’s key tools to measure and manage Market

risk on a daily basis include value at risk, earnings at risk, interest rate

sensitivities, market value loss limits and stress testing.

B6. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (continued)

Risk type Description Managing the risk

Strategic

risk

Strategic risk is defined as the risk that ANZBGL New

Zealand is prevented from achieving the key strategic goals

that are core to its operations through ineffective strategic

choices, 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 poor strategic

choices, failure to achieve strategic targets through

ineffective execution and failure to review the strategy or

reallocate resources in response to changes in the

operating environment.

Strategic risks are discussed and managed by the New Zealand

Leadership Team (NZLT) through ANZBGL New Zealand 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.

Climate risk

Climate risk is the risk that arises from the changing climate

and from the transition to a low-emissions, climate-resilient

global and domestic economy. The key elements of climate

risk are:

• Physical risk – risk related to the physical impacts of

climate change. This includes changes to the frequency

and magnitude of extreme weather events (acute risk)

as well as longer-term changes in climate (chronic risk).

Physical risks will primarily impact our customers, which

in turn will impact us. Physical risks will also impact our

office locations and branches.

• Transition risk – risk related to the transition to a lower-

emissions, climate-resilient economy. Moving towards

a lower-emissions economy can create both transition

risks and opportunities for us and our customers.

Following the elevation of climate risk to material risk during the year

we have identified and qualitatively assessed the specific climate

risks to ANZBGL New Zealand. Work is progressing to integrate and

embed climate risk into ANZBGL New Zealand’s RMF through

existing policies, processes and governance frameworks.

Climate risk is classified as a ‘cross cutting’ risk that can amplify other

material risks across ANZBGL New Zealand. For example, 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.

Non-

financial risk

(operational

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.

ANZBGL New Zealand’s strategy for evolving NFR management

provides a planned and proactive approach to improving ANZBGL

New Zealand’s NFR management. The NFR strategy is being

operationalised through the NFR Framework, which has been

designed to enable ANZBGL New Zealand to holistically, consistently

and effectively identify, assess, remediate, monitor and report on

NFR. ANZBGL New Zealand 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

ANZBGL New Zealand such as Technology, Conduct, Financial Crime,

Data and Information Security (including Cyber).

Refer to Note 15 Financial risk management for the disclosures required under NZ IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

Other material risks

Other material risks do not require the same degree of active or transactional management as the material risks and are managed and monitored as

part of ANZBGL New Zealand’s business, strategic and capital management process. The maximum level of risk is set as part of the Banking Group’s

ICAAP.

Refer to Note 22 Capital management for more information about the Banking Group’s ICAAP.

Other material risks not explicitly captured in the calculation of the Banking Group’s tier 1 and total capital include:

Fixed asset

risk

The risk of financial loss arising from the negative revaluation of fixed assets owned and leased by ANZBGL New Zealand, caused

by adverse changes in business and/or economic conditions. Residual Value Risk is included in the definition of Fixed Assets, which

is the risk that the market value of the underlying assets of operating leases may fall below the anticipated residual value.

Deferred

acquisition

cost risk

The risk of loss arising from the failure of the benefits associated with the acquisition of interest earning assets to arise due to

impairment, transfer, or prepayment.

INDEPENDENT LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT TO AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

C

ONCLUSION ON THE SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION RELATING TO THE CREDIT AND MARKET RISK

EXPOSURES AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY DISCLOSURES IN SECTION B4

Our limited assurance conclusion has been formed on the basis of the matters outlined in this report.

Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not a reasonable assurance engagement or audit, nothing has come to our attention that

would lead us to believe that the supplementary information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy disclosures,

disclosed in section B4 on page 84 to the disclosure statement, is not, in all material respects disclosed in accordance with schedule 9 of the

Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (Overseas Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2014 (as amended) (the Order).

INFORMATION SUBJECT TO ASSURANCE

We have reviewed the supplementary information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy disclosures, as disclosed in

section B4 of the disclosure statement as at and for the six months ended 30 September 2024.

The supplementary information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy disclosures comprises the information that is

required to be disclosed in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Order.

STANDARDS WE FOLLOWED

We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with Standard on Assurance Engagements 3100 (Revised)

Compliance

Engagements

(SAE 3100 (Revised)) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Accounting Standards Board. We believe that the evidence we have

obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion. In accordance with the SAE 3100 (Revised), we have:

•used our professional judgement to plan and perform the engagement to obtain limited assurance that the supplementary information relating

to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy disclosures, is free from material misstatement and non-compliance, whether due to

fraud or error;

•considered relevant internal controls when designing our assurance procedures, however we do not express a conclusion on the effectiveness of

these controls;

•ensured that the engagement team possesses the appropriate knowledge, skills and professional competencies.

•obtained an understanding of the process, models, data and internal controls implemented over the preparation of the information relating to

credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy disclosures

;

•p

erformed inquiry and analytical review procedures over the credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy disclosures

;

•o

btained an understanding of ANZBGL’s compliance framework and internal control environment over the information relating to credit and

market risk exposures and capital adequacy disclosures, including ANZBGL’s assessment of any matters of non-compliance with the Reserve Bank

of New Zealand’s Prudential Requirements; and

•agreed the information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy disclosures, extracted from ANZBGL’s models,

accounting records or other supporting documentation to the Disclosure Statement.

HOW TO INTERPRET LIMITED ASSURANCE AND MATERIAL MISSTATEMENT AND NON-COMPLIANCE

In a limited assurance engagement, the assurance practitioner performs procedures, primarily consisting of discussion and enquiries of

management and others within the entity, as appropriate, and observation and walk-throughs, and evaluates the evidence obtained. The

procedures selected depend on our judgement, including identifying areas where the risk of material misstatement and non-compliance with

schedule 9 of the Order.

ASSURANCE REPORTS
93

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from and are less in extent than for a reasonable assurance

engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would

have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.

Misstatements, including omissions, within the supplementary information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy

disclosures and non-compliance are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the

relevant decisions of the intended users taken on the basis of the supplementary information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital

adequacy disclosures.

INHERENT LIMITATIONS

Because of the inherent limitations of an assurance engagement, together with the internal control structure it is possible that fraud, error or non-

compliance with compliance requirements may occur and not be detected.

A limited assurance engagement as at and for the six months ended 30 September 2024 does not provide assurance on whether compliance with

schedule 9 of the Order will continue in the future.

USE OF THIS ASSURANCE REPORT

Our report is made solely for ANZBGL’s directors. Our assurance work has been undertaken so that we might state to ANZBGL’s directors those

matters we are required to state to them in the assurance report and for no other purpose.

Our report is released to ANZBGL’s directors on the basis that it shall not be copied, referred to or disclosed, in whole or in part, without our prior

written consent. No other third party is intended to receive our report.

Our report should not be regarded as suitable to be used or relied on by anyone other than ANZBGL and ANZBGL’s directors for any purpose or in

any context. Any other person who obtains access to our report or a copy thereof and chooses to rely on our report (or any part thereof) will do so at

its own risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, none of KPMG, any entities directly or indirectly controlled by KPMG, or any of their respective members or

employees accept or assume any responsibility and deny all liability to anyone other than ANZBGL and ANZBGL’s directors for our work, for this

independent assurance report, and/or for the opinions or conclusions we have reached.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
